What if there were genres at that time?

God wants to be worshipped in a variety of ways, styles, etc which is why He made so many different people groups (approximately 12000 in the world) and every individual {6,602,224,175 (June 19 2008 Census)} of every people group has a different character and ideas except for their general world view or outlook. Guess what, we all fit in. We may have different ways and styles, however we all fit in the kingdom of God.

Look at 1Sam16:7God looks at heart.

Writing styles may differ, but with the right letters, they all spell ‘praise and worship

GOD centered worship
