Hi 4Ever_Learning,

AS I am among the 2% may I just say I have never considered hymn singing to be idolatrous.I would say however as one who used to worship in a church which did sing hymns,that the practical and spiritual benefits of psalm singing are tremendous IMHO.People singing only the pure word of God without instruments is awesome.Scripture is easier remembered I believe God often speaks to us as we sing through the psalms of course.We are not dependent on an organist praise God.I will not dispute with any of my dear brethren on this subject,but do believe you greatly miss out.
