"Praise choruses violate the Scriptural injunction against mantras. They also have no depth whatsoever."
So true. It's that "vain repetitions" passage in the Bible.
Ok, so you folks better not sing the Hallelujah Chorus or Holy Holy Holy. After all, that's vain reps. Dear God the pharisaical manner in which some of you speak is appalling. No wonder the church is where it is at spiritually.
Oh, and that "vain repetitions" verse was not about praise and worship no matter how you twist it.
Isaiah 5 attitude. How long between repetitions before it becomes vain?
