[P-Marlowe]

Playing any type of instrument is not making melody in the heart.

Obviously you've never played a musical instrument... At least not well.

BTW if you are going to take that verse literally, as you seem to be doing, then if you are going to make melody in your heart, then you should simply attach a microphone to a stethescope and you guys can all listen to the melody from the heart. Obviously your vocal chords are not your heart and the vocal chords are an "instrument".

Sheesh.

P-Marlowe, in #16: if you are going to make melody in your heart, then you should simply attach a microphone to a stethescope and you guys can all listen to the melody from the heart.

bremenboy, in #11: there is a difference between an aid and a addition.I would guess from you questions and other posts that I have read. You are smart enough to understand the difference.

Flag on the field!

No microphones or stethoscopes, P-M. I guess that ol' heartbeat will have to make its melody a capella.

Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

Mat 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Luk 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

Luk 6:45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
