>Why would he not inspire us to sing a "new song" as well, as the Psalms themselves tell us to?
Do you realize what you're saying? Shall we start binding hymnals after Revelation?
>Also, when the Psalms instruct us to worship with instruments, are we to take Psalm 33 as literally instructing us to only utilize the specific 10 string harp from Old Testament times exclusively, or risk engaging in "strange fire"?
We are not to use instruments at all, they were a part of the sacrificial worship of the old covenant.
>In light of such things, Solae Scriptura, in regards to worship, makes more sense as a guide, rather than a Talmudic regulatory manual
Now, the time has come to exegete the key text.
<And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the Lord, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Now, what was Nadab and Abihu's sin? That they offered worship according to their own construction, rather than divine regulation. Thus their fire is called strange, for "he commanded them not". Now this sin was so serious, that God did not even wait for them to be punished by the people, but immediately slew them, not only slew them but burned them alive. We can imagine that Aaron was reasonably nearby to them, his sons, his pride and joy, his genetic legacy, the surety of the continuance of life and the cheating of death, whom he had known since they were but babes and raised them to be men. I wonder if he heard their screams. Evidently, God felt indebted to Aaron, to give a reason and make explanation, of why his sons who had received such an honor had to die so horribly and so soon, because He specially sent Moses, just for Aaron, to explain. And He explains, that He shall be glorified before the people, which consideriPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
