to teach-over when Paul silences both male and female.  Miriam SEPARATED the Women and just used a "refrain" to TRUMP Moses writing the entire SONG and commanded it to be SPOKEN or READ.  WHY  THE RARE DISCIPLE OF CHRIST IS REPULSED AND FLEES BABYLON:

"Awed by the mysteries of his own spirit no less than by those of nature, primitive man was likely to attribute to divine influence any abnormal emotional state, whether above or below the usual level. Medicine men customarily went into states of trance in which they were believed to be in communication with the gods,

and many tribes supposed lunatics and sexual deviants to be divinely possessed.

In most early societies, moreover, men evolved techniques for deliberaly inducing the abnormal forms of consciousness in which they supposed themselves to achieve union with divine power, sometimes by the use of drugs and other physiological stimuli, sometimes by hypnotic dances and music.

The wild utterances to which they gave vent on such occasions were regarded as the words of a god and were interpreted as divine commands or predictions of future events." (Parkes, H. Bamford, Of God's and Men, p. 32-33).

"Of particular interest is the way that early modern playwrights, music theorists, and theater apologists addressed this conflated language of the "enemy," by echoing the same connections between sexuality and playing found in the most virulent antitheatrical tracts.

"As this paper will demonstrate, by "playing" with the conflated language, these writers defended their art, justifying their existence in a society that was both seduced and repulsed by them. By claiming the polemical antitheatrical language, these players escaped from the ideological margins to which their opponents had tried to relegate them.

Using the artifices of mimesis (imitation) and comedy they pointed out and

defused their opponents' anxieties about music, theater, and sexuality,
creating a space
for players in the cultural mainstream."

Theophilus.Autolycus.II.html This Eve, on account of her having been in the beginning deceived by the serpent, and become the author of sin, the wicked demon, who also is called Satan, who then spoke to her through the serpent, and who works even to this day in those men that are possessed by him, invokes as Eve.5 And he is called "demon" and "dragon," on account of his revolting from God. For at first he was an angel. And concerning his history there is a great deal to be said; wherefore I at present omit the relation of it, for I have also given an account of him in another place.

The word "abomination" is also key to understanding the context. In Hebrew, the word "to 'evah," (abomination) is almost invariably linked to idolatry. In the passages from which both verses are taken, God tells Moses to tell the people not to follow the idolatrous practices of the people around them, people who sacrificed their children to Molech, or who masturbated into the fire to offer their semen to Molech, for example. Chapter 20 starts off with the same warning.

"To 'evah" also means "something which is ritually unclean," not something evil in itself, like rape or theft. Eating pork or having sex during menstruation are ritually unclean.

Paul will say that the songs in Corinth should be revealed doctrinal truth (1 Cor. 14:6) but Miriam claimed that she as a prophetess had the right to speak for God. However, the presbyterian Girardeau wrote that--

"In the first place, it will be noticed from the account of the triumphant rejoicing on the shore of the Red Sea that the men sang only: 'Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake saying.'" (Girardeau, George, p. 33)

"In the second place, it was Miriam and the women who used instruments of music on the occasion: 'And Miriam, the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went after her with timbrels and with dances." (Girardeau, p. 33).

Of course women rattling the SISTRUM as the sign of Authority of Miriam as a Prophetess of Hathor (The female Golden Calf) is NOISE and never called music.

John Mark Hicks says that Miriam was the Instrumental Worship Minister over all of the congregation including MEN. The Scripture clearly says that she was leading a vile dance brought as an abomination from Apollon worship in Egypt.

NEW ConcernedMembers And GraceCentered Update 11.8.19 There are a number of ABSOLUTES in Scripture. These absolutes are defined both inclusively and exclusively in the prophets.
 
Most of the Kenneth Sublett Posts from Grace Centered Forum are SCRIPTURE but even when I post Jesus the crippling view is "that's just your interpretation." Interpretation is outlawed by Peter which would repudiate the Spirit of God which is a parable word defining how God Puts His WORD directly into the MOUTH of A Moses, the Prophets and LASTLY by the MAN Jesus of Nazareth Who is the LAST in the class of Moses and Elias.

Grace Centered Thesis
God became FLESH and united creation to Gods own self.
        God dwelt within creation as a creature, a human being.

In Christianity, Lectio Divina (Latin for "Divine Reading") is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's word. It does not treat scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.

HORAE
The course of the seasons (or hours) is symbolically described by the dance of the Horae;

3.Graces.Ugliness.gif Grace   In a famous New Testament passage, the quality said to be greater than faith or hope is caritas (1 Corinthians 13), translated sometimes "charity," sometimes "love."

Both translations are inexact. The word meant "grace," specifically the grace of the Triple Goddess, embodied in the boon-bestowing Three Graces who dispensed caritas (Latin) or charis (Greek) and were called the Charites. Julian said their grace was a gift from heaven: "The threefold gift of the Charites comes to us from heaven, from the circles of the stars."

1 Romans sometimes called grace venia, the divine correlative of Venus, bringing visible tokens of the goddess's favor.

2 Grace meant the same as Sanskrit karuna, dispensed by the heavenly nymphs and their earthly copies, the sacred harlots of Hindu temples (devadasis) . Their "grace" was a combination of beauty, kindness, mother-love, tenderness, sensual delight, compassion, and care. Graces were emanations of the Goddess. They danced in her shrines. They tended to her adornment. They acted as midwives to the gods.
        They were patrons of music, dance, poetry, and art.
3 They were shown over and over in the same classic pose as three naked women dancing, in attitudes strongly resembling those of the Heavenly Nymphs on the Temple of Love at Khajuraho in lndia
6 Christians took the pagan concept of charis and struggled to divest it of sexual meanings for application to an ascetic creed. "Charity" became a basic tenet of primitive Christianity, as of Buddhism before it, on the theory that a sure place in heaven could be won by giving away one's worldly goods to the poor.

Jesus was "sanctified and sent" from God the Father. He and those who Hear the word are IN the World but not OF the World. ALL performance "worship" beyond the School of Christ is based on the period of t Monarchy. These were abandoned by God to worship the starry host.

THE ALWAYS ANTITHESIS
Titus 2:11 For the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation hath APPEARED to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
        of the great God
        AND
        our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us,
        that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
        and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
        zealous of good works

THE ONLY SOURCE OF THAT TEACHING IS THE WORD DELIVERED BY GOD TO JESUS.

The Anti-Christ/Blasphemy Trinity in Prophecy
Fulfilled but MOCKED by most APOSTATES.
Neut. 18:18 I will raise them up
        a
PROPHET from among their brethren,
        like unto thee,
        and will put MY words [Dabar-Logos] in HIS mouth;
        and HE shall SPEAK unto them
        all that I shall command him.
Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel,
      A
PROPHET shall the LORD YOUR GOD raise up unto you
      of your brethren, LIKE unto me; him shall ye hear.
Acts 7:38 This is he, that was
       in the church in the wilderness
       with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina,
       and with our fathers: who received
       the LIVING ORACLES oracles to give unto us:
Deut. 18:19 And it shall come to pass,
        that whosoever will not hearken
        unto MY WORDS which HE shall speak in MY NAME
        I will require it of him.
Deut. 18:20 But the PROPHET,  [Claiming inspiration]
        which shall presume to speak a WORD in my name,
        which I have not commanded him to speak,
        or that shall speak in the name of other gods,
        EVEN THAT PROPHET SHALL DIE .
John 3:31 He that cometh from above is above all:
        he that is OF the earth is earthly,
        and speaketh of the earth:
        he that cometh from heaven is above all.
John 3:32 And what he hath seen and heard,
        that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
 
Num. 12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Num. 12:8 With him will I SPEAK MOUTH to
MOUTH,
      even apparently, and not in dark speeches;

      and the SIMILITUDE of the Lord shall he behold:
      wherefore then were ye not afraid
      to speak against my servant Moses?
 
John 3:33 He that hath received his TESTIMONY
         hath set to his seal that God is true.
2Cor. 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the LIGHT of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the IMAGE of God, should shine unto them.
Num. 11:29 And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the Lord’s people were PROPHETS, [INSPIRED] and that the Lord would put HIS SPIRIT upon them!
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent
         speaketh the WORDS of God:
         for God GIVETH not the SPIRIT by measure unto him.
John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son,
         and hath GIVEN all THINGS into his hand.
Num. 12:9 And the ANGER of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son
        hath EVERLASTING life:
        and he that believeth not the Son shall NOT see life;
        but the WRATH of God abideth on him.

Theologians read one verse and that verse BECOMES the whole truth to the reader who is a CO-source of the REAL truth.

The Jews (ancient and modern) said that Jesus blasphemed and "made Himself Equal with God.
Jesus said that the Pharisees (speakers and singers) BLLASPHEMED because He always said that He was the Son of God. Jesus always said that He as MAN spoke only what His God and Ours told Him to speak. God always puts His Words into the Mouth of a Moses, the Prophets and LASTLY His Son who created the world as Aion or Messianic Kingsom.


new.gifIn time, God "tabernacled" in the FLESH as Israel's Messiah (John 1:14).
No, the MAN Jesus came IN THE FLESH over thirty three years before the ONE GOD THE FATHER Made Jesus TO BE both Lord in Christ. Neither Lord nor Christ speak of The Lord (yhwh) the only TRUE God (Elohim)
God's Word, Logos or Regulative Principle was made visible and audible by the SINGULAR Jesus who was God's IMAGE of what all pagans saw as a literal father god, Spirit or Mother Goddess and Little nasty Son or Daughter. God from all eternity has His Spirit or Wisdom, and Word with Him.  Jesus had a BEGINNING so it is not smart to accuse God with being handicapped without, says Leonard Allen, needing a Spirit or Breath God to make Himself intelligible.

The Word or Logos is God's Regulative Principle. When You speak the Word, says Jesus you SPEAK the Spirit or Mind of God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,

                (and we beheld his glory,
        
       the glory AS OF the only begotten of the Father,)
                full of GRACE and TRUTH. [Thy WORD is TRUTH]

As Of identifies a figurative or PARABLE truth. The WORD still becomes visible and audible when the preacher follows the DIRECT COMMAND not to use his/her own words which identifies the true RULER of this World: the Devil.

Paul and everyone else understood that Jesus was God's Grace, Light, Spirit or Word all in the same class

Titus 2:11 For the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation 
        hath APPEARED to all men,
Titus 2:12 TEACHING us that,
        denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
        righteously, and godly, in this PRESENT world;

How the WORD became FLESH. When the Hebrews were rescued by Grace, God offered the The Book of the Covenant directly from His Voice.  They rebelled and rose up in Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry. 
John 1:17a For the LAW was given by Moses,
They were blind and deaf until--
Deut. 18:18 I will raise them up
        a Prophet from among their brethren,
        like unto thee,
        and will put MY words [Dabar-Logos] in HIS mouth;
        and HE shall SPEAK unto them
        all that I shall command him.
 
Deut. 18:19 And it shall come to pass,
        that whosoever will not hearken
        unto MY WORDS which HE shall speak in MY NAME
        I will require it of him.
Deut. 18:20 But the prophet,  [Claiming inspiration]
        which shall presume to speak a WORD in my name,
        which I have not commanded him to speak,
        or that shall speak in the name of other gods,
        even that prophet shall die.
      John 1:17B    but GRACE and TRUTH [Word]  came BY Jesus Christ.
Acts 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A PROPHET shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time;
        the only begotten SON,
        which is in the bosom [FOLD and hidden] of the Father,
        he hath DECLARED him.

Neh. 13:17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them,
        What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Neh. 13:18 Did not your fathers thus,
        and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city?
        yet ye bring more wrath [ORGY] upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Ezek. 22:8 Thou hast despised mine holy things,
        and hast profaned my sabbaths.
Ezek. 22:26 Her priests have violated my law,
        and have profaned mine holy things:
        they have put no difference between the holy and profane,
        neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean,
        and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths,
        and I am profaned among them.
Ezek. 23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me:
        ghey have defiled my sanctuary in the same day,
        and have profaned my sabbaths.


Buff Scott Claims that Grace Covers This?

The Hebrew PRAISE word means to Make Yourself Vile thinking that God could not punish the MAD or Insane.  However, PRAISE is the LUCIFER "the singing and harp playing prostitute in the garden of Eden."

BUFF SCOTT AND APPARENTLY THE GRACE CENTERED FORUM WHICH ACCEPTS NO OPPOSITION IS BLASPHEMING JESUS BECAUSE IT ACCUSES HIM OF ENDORSING THE CIVIL-MILITARY-CLERGY WHOM GOD ABANDONED TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST

Matt. 12:5 Or have ye not read in the LAW,
        how that on the sabbath days the PRIESTS in the temple
        profane the sabbath,
        and are blameless?

The Phariseess (hypocrites: speakers, singers, instrument players) naturally would not condemn a Jewish Priest:
g156 Aitia means a CRIME alleged or proved. CONDEMNED

Matt. 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Buff is not:

The Jewish accusers were ready to stone anyone who showed mercy of the Babylonian Sabbath.
However, plucking grain was enough to get Jesus murdered even though they had prof that He was the Messiah.
They said that Jesus' miracles made Him a pretend GOD.
Jesus said that you BLASPHEME because I always said that I was the SON of God and it was the FATHER which worked through Him.


Matt. 12:6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Matt. 12:7 But if ye had known what this meaneth,
        I will have mercy, and NOT sacrifice,
        ye would not have CONDEMNED the guiltless.

THE. JEWS AND NOT JESUS CALLED THE GOD-ABANDONED CLERGY BLAMELESS OR NOT CONDEMNED. POOR BUFF ALL FLUFF CANNOT TOLERATE SCRIPTURE.

GOD IMPOSED BUT NEVER COMMANDED SLAUGHTER AND THE HOLOCAUST OF GOATS OR INFANTS.

THE SERVICE WAS ABADDON OR THE WORSHIP OF THE DEVIL WHO IS THE LEADER OF THE LOCUSTS OR MUSES WHO ARE ADULTEROUS SHEPHERDESSES.

THE ONE PIECE PATTERN FOR THOSE GOD HAS NOT ABANDONED TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
        hath in every city them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.

THEN AND NOW THOSE WHO CAN SHOW NO MERCY AND DEFEND SACRIFICES WHERE THE JACOB-CURSED AND GOD-ABANDONED LEVITES MADE NOISE "TO MAKE THE LAMBS DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER."

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
        because they knew him not,
        nor yet the voices of the PROPHETS
        which are READ every sabbath day,
        they have fulfilled them in condemning him

Is. 1:10 Hear the WORD of the LORD, ye RULERS of Sodom;
        give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. [and a progressive church near you]

Rev. 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,
        which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified

Baptismal Formula - Rejects Trinity of Persons

Mere Nick and JohnB Casts people out of the Synagogue: "Whenever I've seen folks baptized what they are asked about is Jesus being the son of God.  The promise is forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Spirit.  So, there's all three.  Folks may balk at the word "trinity"
        even though at baptism they are acknowledging it..

The Baptismal Formula is invented by the preacher trying to exercise some authority.  Disciples affirm that Jesus is the SON of God which excludes BEING God.

Also, as I've been discussing with a high school friend of facebook the creeds because of Trump not reciting it at Bush's funeral, it appears that everyone I know at church believes the Nicene Creed but will not recite it. "


John Calvin on Genesis One is in agreement with the explanations of the Nicene Creed:
"Christians, therefore, properly contend, from this testimony, that there exists a plurality of Persons (personae in the church Fathers) in the Godhead.

God summons no foreign counsellor; hence we infer that he
finds within himself something distinct; as, in truth,
his eternal
wisdom and power RESIDE WITHIN HIM
Christians, therefore, properly contend, from this testimony, that there exists a plurality of Persons (personae in the church Fathers) in the Godhead.

HE hath made the earth by his power,
HE  hath established the world by HIS wisdom,
and hath
stretched out the heaven by his understanding. Jer 51:15

When HE uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens;
and
HE causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth:
HE  maketh lightnings with rain,
and
bringeth forth the wind out of HIS treasures. Jer 51:16

ANCIENT AND MODERN "JEWS" CLAIM THAT JESUS MADE HIMSELF GOD BECAUSE OF HIS MIRACLES

John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, [at Baptism]
        and sent into the world,
        Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?


To be baptized to be saved, for the remission of sins and be added to the School of Christ one must believe that JESUS is the CHRIST the SON of the Living God. If Jesus is acknowledged only after His baptism then as He asserts He cannot BE GOD or A God: He has flesh and bones.  Jesus was not MADE TO BE either Lord or Christ until 30 years after He was born in the flesh.  An extreme form of ANTICHRIST is to say that GOD CAME IN THE FLESH.

We are all sons of Abraham and God when we are baptized.

No one in recorded history, before H. Leo Boles and Lipscomb University now totally apostate, defined the GODHEAD as three separate Centers of Consciousness (spirit): they are said to be ONE only because they are FRIENDLY.  Jesus defined the trinity as being BLASPHEMY and John identified it as ANTICHRIST.

UNKNOWN TO ANY MODERN "THEOLOGIAN" OR POSTER, GODHEAD DOES NOT MEAN A THREE-HEADED GOD BUT BEING FILLED WITH DIVINE NATURE.  DIVINITY DEFINES THOSE WHO KEEP DIVINE COMMANDS

All Pagan gods came in triads beginning with the triple goddesses. Most consisted of impotent father, mother (spirit) and little wicked son.

Sara.Barton.The.Song.of.Solomon


My pastoral impulse this week is to proclaim the message of the Song of Songs. And here’s why: We desperately need public, communal language about sex, and we have an oft-overlooked resource in the Bible.
Song of Songs is unique in several ways, one of which is the fact that it’s the only place in Scripture
where a woman’s voice leads the conversation

        (the woman speaks 61 of 117 verses).
In light of what we’ve heard lately,
it seems like a good time to let a wise woman speak
        about sexual activity that’s right and good,
        a woman who not only speaks but sings and shouts about intimate, sensual, erotic passion.


Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
        All power is given unto ME in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
        baptizing them in the name [SINGULAR] of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
 
Peter and all literate readers and bible writers understood that to mean:

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
        Repent, and be baptized every one of you
        in the NAME of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,
        and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
 
Jesus, Historic Scholars and John refuted the Greeks and the Synagogue of Satan by defining TRIAS as the nature of the ONE GOD THE FATHER.
God can THINK or originate
God can BREATH (spirit can never be a person)
God can ARTICULATE His own WORDS

Jesus claimed to be the IMAGE of the Invisible and Inaudible God.
 
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;  [The Word or Regulative Principle is the SEED]
        the FLESH profiteth nothing:  [whatever you think or speak on your own]
        the WORDS that I speak unto you,
        they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.


No one has a god inside of them always teaching people to SIN so that GRACE might abound.

Heb. 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn,  [Church of Christ]
        which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all,
        and to the spirits OF just men made perfect,


Charismatic.Worship
"Outside of Yourself" is the Purpose Driving all MUSICAL groups: those who were instrumental went "all of the way" and Non Instrumental (not A Cappella) churches have been "Infiltrated and Diverted" using a Purpose Driven effort to "steal the homes of widows" by "teaching their own doctrine" for Tithes and Offerings by Flooding the Little Flock called the WAY that is called a SECT with with the historical (clay tablets) binding of Sex with Worship debunking Scripture and claiming to be guided by A spirit: they are correct the Spiritus is Apollo, Apollyon the leader of the LOCUSTS or the Graces and Muses as dirty sherphedesses.

The Trinity is defined by Leonard Allen making God ECSTATIC, Charismatic or Outside of Himself. Grace Centered Forum teaches that Jesus was NOT Christ in the Flesh but GOD IN THE FLESH That defines Antichrist.

For although a man has sorrow and grief in his newly-troubled soul and lives in dread because his heart is distressed, yet, when a singer, [100] the servant of the Muses, chants the glorious deeds of men of old and the blessed gods who inhabit Olympus, at once he forgets his heaviness and remembers not his sorrows at all; but the gifts of the goddesses soon turn him away from these.

IF BOTH MALE AND FEMALE ARE SILENT DURING THE READING OR SPEAKING THE WORD WE WONT PRODUCE WRATH
Cat. 64, 264
But from the further side came flitting bright-faced Iacchus
Girded by Satyr-crew and Nysa-reared Sileni
Burning with love unto thee (Ariadne!) and greeting thy presence.
Thus "Bacchus was directly called upon," he says. The Sabazian worship was Sabbatic; the names Evius, or Hevius, and Luaios are identical with Hivite and Levite. The French name Louis is the Hebrew Levi; Iacchus again is Iao or Jehovah; and Baal or Adon, like Bacchus, was a phallic god. "Who shall ascend into the hill (the high place) of the Lord?" asks the holy king David, "who shall stand in the place of his Kadushu [[Heb char]]"? (Psalms xxiv. 3). Kadesh may mean in one sense to devote, hallow, sanctify, and even to initiate or to set apart; but it also means the ministers of lascivious rites (the Venus-worship) and the true interpretation of the word Kadesh is bluntly rendered in Deuteronomy xxiii. 17; Hosea iv. 14; and Genesis xxxviii., from verses 15 to 22. The "holy" Kadeshuth of the Bible were identical as to the duties of their office with the Nautch-girls of the later Hindu pagodas. The Hebrew Kadeshim or galli lived "by the house of the Lord, where the women wove hangings for the grove," or bust of Venus-Astarte, says verse the seventh in the twenty-third chapter of 2 Kings.-
PAUL WARNED BOTH MALE AND FEMALE ABOUT WARTH or ORGIES
Who flocking eager to fray did rave with infuriate spirit,

"Evoe" frenzying loud, with heads at "Evoe” rolling.
Brandisht some of the maids their thyrsi [shaken reed] sheathed of spear-point,
Some snatcht limbs and joints of sturlings rended to pieces,
These girt necks and waists with writhing bodies of vipers,
Those with the gear enwombed in crates dark ORGIES ordained—
        Orgies that ears profane must vainly lust for o'er hearing—
        Others with palms on high smote hurried strokes on the cymbal,
        Or from the polisht brass woke thin-toned tinkling music,
While from the many there boomed and blared hoarse blast of the horn-trump,
And with its horrid skirl loud shrilled the barbarous bag-pipe

In ancient Greek religion, orgia (ὄργια, sing. ὄργιον, orgion) were ecstatic rites characteristic of the Greek and Hellenistic mystery religions. Unlike public religion, or the private religious practices of a household, the mysteries were open only to initiates, and were thus "secret". Some rites were held at night. Orgia were part of the Eleusinian Mysteries, the Dionysian Mysteries, and the cult of Cybele, which involved the castration of her priests in a frenzied trance. Because of their secret, nocturnal, and unscripted nature, the orgia were subject to prurient speculation and regarded with suspicion, particularly by the Romans, who attempted to suppress the Bacchanals in 186 BC. Orgia are popularly thought to have involved sex,[2] but, while sexuality and fertility were cultic concerns, the primary goal of the orgia was to achieve an ecstatic union with the divine.

Warned about in Romans 14: The Old Wineskins
The senatus consultum de Bacchanalibus ("senatorial decree concerning the Bacchanalia") is a notable Old Latin inscription[1] dating to 186 BC.[2]

The Grace Centered Approved about salvation is the early Christian Church View promoted by Buff Scott one of the earl but little-known Vicious attackers of the Historic Church of Christ. Buff promotes Barton W. Stone and the "Christians", Carl Ketcherside, Leroy Garrett etal who claims that BAPTISM was only for the JEWS but FAITH ONLY to the Gentiles.

Leroy Garrett Saved by Faith alone

Alexander Campbell said that "No relation can be changed by believing, apart from the acts to which that belief, or faith, induces us" Martin Luther said the same thing, quoted below. I will shortly add direct quotes from the Christian Baptists and the Millennial Harbinger-- with honest links -- so you can judge Leroy's rewriting of the Bible and Restoration history.
(Alexander Campbell, "Reply to James Fishback No. I," MH, July 2, 1832)

I maintain that it is the doctrine of the New Testament, 
        that God JUSTIFIES the Gentiles by faith alone,
        and that baptism has no more to do in PROCURING the remission of sins,
        or is no more the action through or by which sin is actually remitted,
        than any other work of faith is; 
        and I moreover assert, with a view of proving it beyond any reasonable doubt, by the word of God,
        that baptism is wholly misapprehended in its design and use as administered to the Gentiles,
       
when viewed as the reformers view it.

Here is the way Jesus Christ disposes of His propherty. 

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

A. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
B
. but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Is. 11:11 And it shall come to pass in that day,

PARASITES: WOMEN AND "BOYS" RULE OVER YOU AND TAKE AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE.
Eur. Hipp. 964 Are you, then, the companion of the gods, as a man beyond the common?
        Are you the chaste one, untouched by evil? [950]
        I will never be persuaded by your vauntings,
        never be so unintelligent as to impute folly to the gods.
Continue then your confident boasting,    
            take up a diet of greens and play the showman with your food,
            make Orpheus your lord and engage in mystic rites,
            holding the vaporings of many books in honor. [955]
            For you have been found out.
            To all I give the warning: avoid men like this.
            For they make you their prey with their high-holy-sounding words
            while they contrive deeds of shame....
I know that young men are no more stable than women when Aphrodite stirs their young hearts to confusion. [970] But their standing as males steads them well. And so now—but why do I wage this contest against your speech when this corpse, witness most reliable, lies near? Go forth from this land with all speed as an exile, and come no more either to god-built Athens
Note:
Theseus compares Hippolytus to the Orphics [That Thracian IMPURE Religion]], an ascetic religious sect that ate a vegetarian diet and had a reputation for hypocrisy.

Threskeia is named after Orpheus or That Thracian.  Under various names he goes back to Jubal who handled (without authority in a sexaul context) all of the musical instruments.

Gregory Nazianzen Oration xxxix

"Nor are these Thracian orgies, from which the word Worship (threskia) is said to be derived; nor rites and mysteries of Orpheus, whom the Greeks admired so much for his wisdom that they devised for him a lyre which draws all things by its music.
        Nor the tortures of Mithras which it is just that those who can endure to be initiated into such things should suffer; nor the manglings [castrating] of Osiris, [Adonis, Attis, Dionysus,]  another calamity honoured by the Egyptians; nor the ill-fortunes of Isis and the goats more venerable than the Mendesians, and the stall of Apis, the calf that luxuriated in the folly of the Memphites, nor all those honours with which they outrage the Nile, while themselves proclaiming it in song to be the Giver of fruits and corn, and the measurer of happiness by its cubits.

WALKING THE LABYRINTH AT ONCE-CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES Apollod.3.1.4.

[4] But angry at him for not sacrificing the bull, Poseidon made the animal savage, and contrived that Pasiphae should conceive a passion for it.1 In her love for the bull she found an accomplice in Daedalus, an architect, who had been banished from Athens for murder.2 He constructed a wooden cow on wheels, took it, hollowed it out in the inside, sewed it up in the hide of a cow which he had skinned, and set it in the meadow in which the bull used to graze. Then he introduced Pasiphae into it; and the bull came and coupled with it, as if it were a real cow. And she gave birth to Asterius, who was called the Minotaur. He had the face of a bull, but the rest of him was human;
        and Minos, in compliance with certain oracles,
        shut him up and guarded him in the Labyrinth.
        Now the Labyrinth which Daedalus constructed was a chamber “
                that with its tangled windings perplexed the outward way. ”3 T

SEEKING the BREAD of LIFE by wandering about as in a labyrinth, X.Cyr.1.3.4.

God never commanded the Sacrificial System and the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned and all participants were defined by the Greek PARASITE. Civilized Society woke up:

Plat. Laws 936c There shall be no beggar in our State; and if anyone attempts to beg, and to collect [synagogue] a livelihood by ceaseless [making Poieo meter, hymns] prayers, the market-stewards shall expel him from the market, and the Board of city-stewards from the city, and from any other district he shall be driven across the border by the country-stewards, to the end that the land may be wholly purged of such a creature. If a slave, male or female, do any injury to another man's goods,
Aristoph. Thes. 312 Chorus singing
May the gods deign to accept our vows and our prayers! [315] Oh! almighty Zeus, and thou, god with the golden lyre, who reignest on sacred Delos, and thou, oh, invincible virgin, Pallas, with the eyes of azure and the spear of gold, who protectest our illustrious city, [320] and thou, the daughter of the beautiful Leto, queen of the forests, who art adored under many names, hasten hither at my call. Come, thou mighty Poseidon, king of the Ocean, leave thy stormy whirlpools of Nereus; [325] come, goddesses of the seas, come, ye nymphs, who wander on the mountains. Let us unite our voices to the sounds of the golden lyre, [330] and may wisdom preside at the gathering of the noble matrons of Athens.


No, grandfather,” Cyrus replied to this; “
        but the road to satiety is much more simple and direct in our country than with you;
        for BREAD and MEAT  take us there;
                but you, though you make for the same goal as we,
                go wandering through many a MAZE, up and down,
                and only arrive at last at the point that we long since have reached.”
AND TEACHING EVERYONE TO SEEK LIFE BY DEBUNKING THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING.
Luke 8:9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
Luke 8:10 And he said,
        Unto you it is given to know the mysteries
        of the kingdom of God:
        but to others in parables;
        that seeing they might not see,
        and hearing they might not understand.
Luke 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the WORD of God.


1Pet. 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the
SPIRIT profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you,
        they are
SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.


John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Christians and other readers escaped before a million Jews in REVOLT (believeth nots) are said to have been consumed or burned up

Is. 42:6 I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Is. 1:16  Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Is. 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.Is. 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Is. 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Is. 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.Is. 1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

John baptized that tiny remnant (the 120) FOR the Remission of Sins.  Then more than the 5000 were Born Again when they were baptized.

Rom. 11:4 But what saith the answer of God unto him?
         have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
         who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Rom. 11:5 Even so then at this present time also 
        there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

Is. 4:4 When the Lord shall have WASHED away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
        and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof
        by the SPIRIT of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

Washed g7364.  rachats, raw-khats΄; a primitive root; to lave (the whole or a part of a thing):—bathe (self), wash (self).

g7365.  rchats, rekh-ats΄; (Aramaic) corresponding to 7364 (probably through the accessory idea of ministering as a servant at the bath); to attend upon:—trust.

Is. 4:5 And the Lord will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Is. 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
        but according to his mercy he saved us,
        by the washing [baptism] of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Renewing OF our once holy spirit NOT regeneration BY a holy spirit person.


John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
        Except a MAN be born of WATER and [born] of the SPIRIT,
        he cannot ENTER into the KINGDOM of God. [The Church]

g1080. gennao, ghen-nah΄-o; from a variation of 1085; to procreate (properly, of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively, to regenerate: — bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

Only the MAN (already born of Amniotic Fluid) can be REGENERATED by WATER and SPIRIT

Heb. 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
        having our HEARTS sprinkled FROM an evil conscience,  [By God]
        and our bodies washed with pure water.

g3068.   louo, loo΄-o; a primary verb; to bathe (the whole person; whereas 3538 means to wet a part only, and 4150 to wash, cleanse garments exclusively): — wash.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,
        Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
        for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
       [A Regenerated human spirit or A good conscience]
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children,
        and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort,
        saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation
Acts 2:47 praising God, and having favor with all the people.
        The Lord added to the CHURCH day by day
        those who were BEING saved.

John 3:6 That which is born of the FLESH is flesh;
        and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

John 3.[7] non mireris quia dixi tibi oportet vos nasci denuo

Jesus was sent for LOST SPIRITS.  They are pilgrims and sojourners in this present evil WORLD (Kosmos, Ecumenical, Kingdom of the Devil). 

Acts 3:18 But those things,
        which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his PROPHETS,
         that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be CONVERTED,
        that your sins may be blotted out,
        when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
Acts 3:21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things,
        which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.


Lost Sheep know the Voice of the Chief Shepherd.  They are in the WAY (pattern) thatis called a SECT and they can never call Jesus who commanded Baptism a liar.

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his WORD were BAPTIZED:
        and the same day there were added unto them [The Church of the Firstborn]
        about three thousand souls.

Col. 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
        and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Matt. 18:11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was LOST.
Matt. 18:12 How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray,
        doth he not leave the ninety and nine,
        and goeth into the mountains,
        and seeketh that which is gone astray?
Matt. 18:13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you,
        he rejoiceth more of that sheep,
        than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Matt. 18:14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven,
        that one of these little ones should perish.




Buff Scott the "reformer" on Instrumental Music and Hostility toward Acappella Churches of Christ: a Grace Centered Approved Poster

From Clay tablets to the "singing and harp playing prostitute" in the garden of Eden to the Babylon Mother of Harlots (Revelation 17) the musicial CLERGY have been "lusted after fruits" (same as Amos 8) to Revelation 18.  They are Singers, instrument players, "grinders" or prostitutes (selling body parts) or any Craftsman or religious professional are called SORCERERS and will be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.'  That is because musical instruments or machines were always used to deceive or "Set Ambush." That is because in Ephesians 4 they are not just ignorant but are LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.  Instruments making "noise" have always been imposed before lying, cheating and stealing the church houses of widows and other owners.  And they boast about it, too.


Worship.Androgyny.The.Pagan.Sexual.Ideal.

Grace Centered Magazine Affirms Buff Scott but BLOCKS out any Bible Rebuttal. Grace "hath appeared TEACHING us to deny the PAGAN Graces.  Buff is allowed to blasphemy continuously and the moderators must agree.

They act with some hostility toward those who quote Scripture or historic scholars they MISQUOTE.

Moderator Approved: Buff Scott: "I now accept within the brotherhood of God many sinners who do not believe in Christ but who worship in paganism. In any case, which doctrine of Christ is authentic? Hundreds of teachers claim to offer His teaching, including the Metropolitan Community Church (homosexual), David Koresh, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and me.

The Doctrine of Christ is the Gospel of THE kingdom.  It is revealed when God put HIS WORDS into the MOUTH of the prophets (the Spirit parable).  Jesus made Holy Scripture in the Prophets and other prophecies CONCERNING Me.  Peter and other eye-- and ear-- witnesses left us a witness not to be further expounded.  However, those who call the Spirit of Christ a LIAR by rejecting baptism do not and CANNOT have A holy spirit or A good conscience which allows one to read BLACK TEXT on BROWN PAPER (2 Corinthians 3)

The Doctrine of Christ Once Delivered to the Saints

Buff Scott As for me, I intend to reform religion by telling people to defect from the New Testament teaching of one true Christ, one true baptism, and one true church as the only way of salvation from sin. If you wish to help finance defection from this teaching of Christ, contact me. Associate Pastor Buff Scott, Mountain View Christian Church, Phoenix, AZ.

He affirmed in debate many years ago that men can be saved "without becoming born-again believers in Christ" (Scott/ Pennock debate, Truth Magazine, January-March 1959)Resource

Buff Scott Approved by Grace Center's Lee Wilson says: Acts 4:12 proves salvation without baptism

Acts 4:11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
        which is become the head of the corner.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
        for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
        whereby we must be saved.

Buff's evidence to call Peter a liarh
& Acts 9:18

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;
        and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,
        that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me,
        that thou mightest receive thy sight,
        and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales:
        and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Paul calls Buff Scott a Liar becauses he despises the message of Jesus which is BLASPHEMY

Acts 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me,
        Brother Saul, receive thy sight.
        And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Acts 22:14 And he said,
        The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
        that thou shouldest know his will,
        and see that Just One,
        and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast SEEN and HEARD.

SPIRIT produces WORDS. 

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
         the flesh profiteth nothing:
         the WORDS that I speak unto you,
         they are
SPIRIT, and they are life.

The Holy Spirit who appeared to Paul was the Spirit OF Jesus.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou?
        arise,
        and be baptized,
        and wash away thy sins,
       
calling on the name of the Lord.

Which is the only way to Call on the Name for A holy spirit washed OF sin.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
        for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
        whereby we must be saved.

The same Peter Buff the DEformer thinks might be confused by teaching what Jesus commanded Him to Preach said:

1Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even BAPTISM DOTH ALSO SAVE US
        (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, [Jesus baptisms]
        but the REQUEST FOR a good conscience toward God,)
        by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Deut. 18:15 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a PROPHET from the midst of thee,
        of thy brethren
, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deut. 18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb
        in the day of the assembly,
        saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God,
        neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Deut. 18:17 And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Deut. 18:18 I will raise them up a
PROPHET from among their brethren, like unto thee,
         and will put my WORDS in his MOUTH;
         and he shall SPEAK unto them all that I shall command him.

Acts 3:22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A PROPHET
        shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me;
        him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
Acts 3:23 And it shall come to pass,
        that every soul, which will not hear that
PROPHET ,
        shall be destroyed from among the people.
Acts 3:24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
        after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets,
        and of the covenant which God made with our fathers,
        saying unto Abraham, And in thy SEED shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus,
        sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

God sent Jesus Mic. 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah,
        yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel;
        whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Going forth is 4163, mo-tsaw-aw΄; feminine of 4161; a family descent

PAUL

The Scripture said (2 Cor. 3:17), The Lord Jesus is the Spirit,
        the Trinitarian spirit said, the Lord Jesus is NOT the Spirit, but ‘ANOTHER’ person,
        the third person of their many gods is the Holy Spirit.

2Cor. 3:12 Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2Cor. 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face,
        that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded:
        for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the READING of the old testament;
        which vail is done away in Christ.

THE ONE-PIECE PATTERN FOR THE CHURCH OF CHRIST (THE ROCK) IN THE WILDERNESS

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath
        in every city them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.

2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is READ, the vail is upon their heart.
2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, [Converted at Baptism]
        the vail shall be taken away.                                  [By giving US A holy spirit or A good conscience]
2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord IS that Spirit:
        and where the Spirit OF the Lord is, there is liberty.

JESUS CONTINUES AS HOLY (wholly) SPIRIT as He says "without flesh and bones"

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin, we have an advocate [Paraclete] with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.


When God puts his WORDS directly into the MOUTH of Jesus without the need of another god person. When Jesus has revealed all truth to the the Apostles and they, like Peter, have left us a MEMORY that WORD IS SPIRIT or the Mental Disposition and Will of the One God the Father.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you, they are
SPIRIT, and they are life.

The Word or Logos is God's Regulative Principle which OUTLAWS delivery systems such as rhetoric, singing, playing instruments.

2Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
         are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
         even as by the
SPIRIT of the Lord.

Words translated SPIRIT is not and cannot define a PERSON although SPIRITUS is that of Apollo, Apollyon or Abaddon and EXPRESSED in the music of the Muses (Revelation 1) who are called SORCERERS and Prostitute-Shepherdess since they SELL their "religious experience.

1Cor. 8:3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1Cor. 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols,
        we know that an idol is nothing in the world,
        and that there is none other God but ONE.
1Cor. 8:5 For though there be that are called gods,
        whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Cor. 8:6 But to us there is but
        ONE GOD [Theos], the Father, OF whom are all things, and we in him;
        and ONE Lord [Kurios] Jesus Christ, BY whom are all things, and we by him.

Spirit is figurative showing how God the Father puts HIS WORDS directly into the MOUTH of Jesus.

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself;
        but the Father which sent me,
        HE gave me a commandment,
        what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
        whatsoever I speak therefore,
        even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

AGAIN AND CONTRARY TO LEONARD ALLEN FATHER AND SON DO NOT NEED ANOTHER SPIRIT GOD TO MAKE THEIR RELATIONSHIP INTELLIGIBLE.

The very truth about Christ--that he is God in the Flesh, Son Saviour, and Messiah--becomes INTELLIGIBLE through the deep work of the Spirit. 

JOHN AND MANY OTHERS WROTE TO CORRECT THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN WHICH WAS UNREPENTANT JEWS and Greeks.

Iranaeus Against Heresies Book II says what all classical trinitarians believed. 

THE PAGAN FOLLY TO BE REPUDIATED:

for there is among the Greeks ONE LOGOS which is the principle that thinks,
        and ANOTHER which is the instrument by means
                of which THOUGHT is expressed);

        and [to say] that a man sometimes is at rest and silent,
        while at other times he speaks and is active.

5. But God being all Mind, and all Logos,
        both speaks exactly what He thinks,
        and thinks exactly what He speaks
.

So, again, with respect to LOGOS,
        when one attributes to him the THIRD place of production from the Father;
                on which supposition he is ignorant of His greatness;
             and thus Logos has been far separated from God.
 

JESUS:

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying,
        For a good work we stone thee not;
        but for BLASPHEMY;
        and because that thou, being a MAN MAKEST THYSELF GOD


John 10:36 Say ye of HIM,
        whom the Father hath SANCTIFIED,
        and SENT into the world,

        Thou BLASPHEMEST ; because I said, I AM THE SON OF GOD?
John 10:37 If I do not the works of MY Father, believe me not.
Num. 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Timothy silenced both male and female to permit DISCIPLES to learn the Truth, Word, Logos, Regulative Principle

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
        and one mediator between God and men,
        THE MAN CHRIST JESUS


Modern Trinitarians now say that God the Father came in the FLESH and used Jesus.

1John 4:3 And every spirit that
        confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God:
        and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come;
        and even now already is it in the world.

Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
         according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

Jesus of Nazareth was neither Lord Nor Christ until 30 years after HE came in the flesh

Rev. 1:5 And from Jesus Christ,
        who is the faithful witness,
        and the first begotten of the dead,
        and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

John included in C. Leonard Allen Spirit Poured out.
When SPIRIT (breath) is poured out the result is God's WORD made Audible.

The dark side of the internet is that it allows craven cowards to pour out the most vile accusations against a religious group which STILL believes that A Church of Christ is Built upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets and Apostles which bestows NO GRACE upon those who deliberately trash the Holy Spirit Breathed Word and claim that they are beyond Father, Son, Bible and must HEAR VOICES telling them that the Spirit OF God is the only God for the end time church.


John T. Willis key professor and prolific seller of books IGNORES Scripture.
How Jo Bass deceived the elders and the Baptists took control.

http://www.piney.com/John.T.Willis.and. ... pirit.html

"At the Highland Church of Christ, a faithful Christian woman who studied the Bible very carefully,
      TAUGHT the elders at Highland that THIS TRADITIONAL view was far from the truth of the Bible.     
        She cited numerous texts in the Bible that the Holy Spirit works in our lives 
        just as much as he did in the first century.
Slowly, but surely, the whole church listened and learned and changed our position FOR THE GOOD. "

Of Course, Jo Bass used Baptists Material and there is no hint that the ELDERS ever considered the context which produces LIES if you tamper with the Word.

THIS LED TO THE HIGHLAND DEFECTION AND THE NON-INSTITUTIONAL SPLIT NOW CONSUMING THE HISTORIC CHURCHES OF CHRIST.  Let Paul in Ephesians 4 mark them as 'LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE." That is because not even a casual Disciple and Student could be in error through ignorance.  The Baptist Hostile Takeover.

Jo Bass Resource: G.E.Jones.Spiritual.Understanding.E.R.Harper.html


Cowardice is a trait wherein fear and excessive self-concern override doing or saying what is right, good, and of help to others or oneself in a time of need—it is the opposite of courage. As a label, "cowardice" indicates a failure of character in the face of a challenge. One who succumbs to cowardice is known as a coward

Example by those hidden behind masks: "ALONG with the Babel of bibles that begun to flood this world to feed those CULTS."
Black Ball those using Scripture and REAL history to debate.

NONE of the "university level" theologians have real deep knowledge NOR the need since their goal is to BETRAY the mothers and fathers of their tribe.

Rubel Shelly provided the Aztec about a "jubilee" where they infiltrated another tribe and when the harvest was ready they INVADED with plenty of secret members They gradually introduces "acts" which sow division knowing that you have to make everyone HATE their godly ancestor's churches before they and harvest the crop they planted.

Grace Centered Forum feature one poster who attacks the ACAPPELLA CHURCHES OF CHRIST. He means those who understand that

1. A Church or Assembly of Christ is built upon the Prophets and Apostles.
2 A Church of Christ will, by definition, know that there is not a single verse of Scripture which is lyrical or written for the lyre.
3. The Commands are to SPEAK that which is written for our learning: LEARNING eliminates anything TUNFUL which is the "Laded Burden" Jesus died to cast out.
3.  Not even among those dominated by the Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levites whom God turned over to worship the Starry host including Abaddon ever sang anything tuneful with or without instruments.

THE PATTERN of DEFINED COWARDICE promoted by:

Rick.Atchley.Leave.Movement.gif

MUSIC imposed by Lucifer the Singing and Harp-Playing prostitute in the Garden of Eden proves its power to DECEIVE a whole university-level people that the PATTERN of the HOLOCAUST of goats and INFANTS was commanded for an Assembly of Christ which is defined as a School only.

"Enchantment: Gurney describes the Hittite worship and shows that the rituals were almost identical to the Canaanite and Hebrew worship. One of the features of 'sympathetic' magic among the Hittites was the "Old Woman" or "wise woman" which may mean "midwife." Other scholars note that early musicians acted as midwives between a worshipper and their god. Gurney notes that "thirteen such women are known, but they function as sorceresses in countless rituals." Of the sorceresses who performed magic through the incantation of what we would call a poem or song, the "author" are 3 midwives, 1 doctor, 1 prostitute, and 2 temple singers."

Inanna Gifts of Me - Genun Jubal Parallel

AND: Courtship.of.Inanna.and.Dumuzi.html

Inanna placed the shugurra, the crown of the steppe, on her head.
She went to the sheepfold, to the shepard.
She leaned back against the apple tree.
When she leaned against the apple tree,
..........her vulva was wonderous to behold.
..........Rejoicing at her wounderous vulva,
..........the young woman Inanna applauded herself.
She said:

"I, the Queen of Heaven, shall visit the God of Wisdom.
I shall go to Abzu, the sacred place in Eridu.
I shall honor Enki, the God of Wisdom in Eridu.
I shall utter a prayer to Enki at the deep sweet waters."
..........(Enki or Ea was the patron god of music and more)
"Come, my sukkal,
The young woman is about to enter the Abzu
When Inanna enters the holy shrine
Give her butter cake to eat.
Pour cold water to refresh her heart.
..........Offer her beer before the statue of the lion.
..........Treat her like an equal.
..........Greet Inanna (Ishtar) at the holy table, the table of heaven
 
Enki, swaying with drink, toasted Inanna:
 
"In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
To my daughter Inanna I shall give
..........The high priesthood! Godship!
..........The noble, enduring crown! The throne of kingship!"
 
Inanna replied:
"I take them!"
 
Enki raised his cup and toasted Inanna a second time:
"In the name of my power! In the name of my holy shrine!
To my daughter Inanna I shall give Truth!
..........Descent into the underworld!
..........Ascent from the underworld!
..........The art of lovemaking!
..........The art of kissing the phallus!"

Sarah Barton makes the public joke about asking her husband to come home and plow her garden.  laughing, laughint.

Inanna spoke:
         “What I tell you
    Let the singer weave into song.
    What I tell you,
    Let it flow from ear to mouth,
    Let it pass from old to young:     My vulva, the horn,
    The Boat of Heaven,
    Is full of eagerness like the young moon.
    My untilled land lies fallow.
    As for me, Inanna,
    Who will plow my vulva?
    Who will plow my high field?
    Who will plow my wet ground?
    As for me, the young woman,
    Who will plow my vulva?
    Who will station the ox there?
    Who will plow my vulva?”

Dumuzi [Pagan "Son"]replied:
         “Great Lady, the king will plow your vulva?
         I, Dumuzi the King, will plow your vulva.”

Inanna:
         “Then plow my vulva, man of my heart!
           Plow my vulva!”

THE PROGRESSIVE CHURCH OF CHRIST

Sara.Barton.The.Song.of.Solomon

Song of Songs is unique in several ways, one of which is the fact that it’s the only place in Scripture where a woman’s voice leads the conversation (the woman speaks 61 of 117 verses). In light of what we’ve heard lately, it seems like a good time to let a wise woman speak about sexual activity that’s right and good, a woman who not only speaks but sings and shouts about intimate, sensual, erotic passion. And in all her talk about kissing, touching, tasting, and smelling, she does not offend with crass or vulgar language. She exemplifies how it’s possible to speak about sex and intimacy appropriately. We might do well to let her teach us a thing or two.

CHURCHES ARE BUILT AS WOMBS AND ONCE UPON A TIME YOU HAD TO STROKE IT TO ENTER HER.

Luc. Ind. 1 Let me tell you a story of what happened once at Delphi. A native of Tarentum,
        Evangelus by name, a person of some note in his own city,
        conceived the ambition of winning a prize in the Pythian Games.
        Well, he saw at once that the athletic contests were quite out of the question;
        he had neither the strength nor the agility required.
A musical victory, on the other hand, would be an easy matter;
        so at least he was persuaded by his vile parasites,
        who used to burst into a roar of applause the moment he touched the strings of his lyre. 


Unfortunately he believed the even present idea that musical instruments were homes of the gods and they would make certain that he gave a good performance.  Unfortunately, nothing has changed and the Musical Worship Team disgusts half of the OWNERS and they flee Babylon.  Nero decided that because he had authority his singing and playing would please everyone.

I have also an old Lesbian story which is very much to the point. It is said that after Orpheus had been torn to pieces by the Thracian women,
        his head and his lyre were carried down the Hebrus into the sea;
        the head, it seems, floated down upon the lyre,
        singing Orpheus's dirge as it went,
        while the winds blew an accompaniment upon the strings.
In this manner they reached the coast of Lesbos; the head was then taken up and buried on the site of the present temple of Bacchus, and the lyre was long preserved as a relic in the temple of Apollon.

Later on, however, Neanthus, son of the tyrant Pittacus,
        hearing how the lyre had charmed beasts and trees and stones,
        and how after Orpheus's destruction it had played of its own accord,
        conceived a violent fancy for the instrument,
        and by means of a considerable bribe
        prevailed upon the priest to give him the genuine lyre,
        and replace it with one of similar appearance.
Not thinking it advisable to display his acquisition in the city in broad daylight, he waited till night, and then, putting it under his cloak, walked off into the outskirts; and there this youth, who had not a note of music in him, produced his instrument and began jangling on the strings, expecting such divine strains to issue therefrom as would subdue all souls, and prove him the fortunate heir to Orpheus's power. He went on till a number of dogs collected at the sound and tore him limb from limb; thus far, at least, his fate resembled that of Orpheus, though his power of attraction extended only to hostile dogs. [Catamites] It was abundantly proved that the charm lay not in the lyre, but solely in those peculiar gifts of song and music that had been bestowed upon Orpheus by his mother; as to the lyre, it was just like other lyres.

RB Wrote (real name hidden) Controller for Lee Wilson: I have read thousands of pages of works by the faithful since Augustine of Hippo,

Jesus as Holy Spirit refutes RB:

Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

RB LIED ABOUT AUGUSTINE Who lied about infants.

But the sacrament of baptism is undoubtedly the sacrament of regenation: Wherefore, as the man who has never lived cannot die, and he who has never died cannot rise again, so he who has never been born cannot be born again. From which the conclusion arises, that no one who has not been born could possibly have been born again in his father.
        Born again, however, a man must be, after he has been born; because, ‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God’ Even an infant, therefore, must be imbued with the sacrament of regeneration, lest without it his would be an unhappy exit out of this life; and this baptism is not administered except for the remission of sins. And so much does Christ show us in this very passage; for when asked, How could such things be? He reminded His questioner of what Moses did when he lifted up the serpent. Inasmuch, then, as infants are by the sacrament of baptism conformed to the death of Christ, it must be admitted that they are also freed from the serpent’s poisonous bite, unless we willfully wander from the rule of the Christian faith. This bite, however, they did not receive in their own actual life, but in him on whom the wound was primarily inflicted.”(On Forgiveness of Sin, and Baptism, 43:27)

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath APPEARED to all men,

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope,
        and the glorious appearing of
        THE great God
        AND
        OUR Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us,

  and the doctrine of baptism as an act of OBEDIENCE and the forgiveness of sin
        started in and around 1811,12 especially so by the CoC as we know it today.

The Gospel mean to TEACH, Baptize those who did not DESPISE GOD'S AUTHORITY and only then are people able to read BLACK text on BROWN paper (2 Corinthians 3)

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, GO ye into all the world, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND is baptized shall be saved;

THAT DEFINES HOW ONE IS SAVED. Romans 6 says that those who OBEYED in baptism were THEN free from sin and able to serve God and OBEY Jesus Christ.

Believeth is PISTIS which includes trusting and COMPLYING.

However,
but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Believeth NOT is APISTOS which marks one as a TRAITOR and it is not possible for them to be baptized in WATER: John said that they, being of the Viper race, will be baptized with spirit or WIND and  be winnowed and BURNED UP WITH FIRE.

Rom. 10:16 But they have not all OBEYED the gospel.
        For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report?

Grace-Centered is built on the intention of DISOBEYING the olden Bible and claiming that GRACE will save the speakers, singers, instrument players, SORCERERS from being cast alive into the lake of fire.

Jesus reveals the Father to a small group of LOST SPIRITS: They are in the WORLD but not OF the World.  Jesus said that He and his disciples were from ABOVE but from beneith or TARTAROS.  The lost sheep will hear the voice of Jesus who ONLY reveals the Father and the MARK or SEAL is baptism.

Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his WORD were BAPTIZED:
         and the same day there were ADDED unto them about three thousand souls.

Too bad RB and Grace Centered people. Here are your Triple Goddesses to worship:

3.Graces.Ugliness.gif

Acts 2:47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people.
        And the Lord added to the church daily such as "were" saved.

RB and the GRACE-CENTERED as opposed to Jesus-Word hate authority: I hear that it is an unresolved conflict with one's mother still DOMINATING.

2Th. 1:8 In flaming FIRE taking vengeance on them that know not God,
        and that OBEY NOT the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Pet. 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

RB and the GRACE-CENTERED  Wrong about reading and wrong about Augustine although infant baptism was in effect

Water Baptism and the forgiveness of sins in Acts 2:38
R. Bruce Compton
*

Baptism into Christ, when received in faith, effects forgiveness of sin, bestows the Holy Spirit, and unites the believer to Christ’s Mystical  Body.”9 Similarly, Alexander Campbell, a representative of the baptismal regenerationist group, argues, “To every believer...[water] baptism is a formal and personal remission, or purgation of sins. The believer never has his sins formally washed away or remitted until he is baptized.”10

9NCE, 3rd ed., s.v. “Baptism (in the Bible),” by H. Mueller, 2:54. Note along with this the Council of Trent, session 7, canon 5 (On Baptism), “If any one saith, that bap- tism is free, that is, not necessary unto salvation: let him be anathema” (Schaff, Creeds, 2:123). Mueller’s statement is similar to what is found in the Longer Catechism of the Eastern Church, article 10, question 288, “What is Baptism? Baptism is a Sacrament, in which a man who believes, having his body thrice plunged in water...is born again of the Holy Ghost to a life spiritual and holy (Schaff, Creeds, 2:491). See also NCE, 3rd ed., s.v. “Baptism (Theology of),” by T. De Ferrari, 2:62–68; and the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, s.v. “Orthodox Church,” pp. 1197–99.

RB and the GRACE-CENTERED  The 1800's produce this world's largest SECT of false doctrines beginning with the CoC, [CHURCH OF CHRIST] to the Mormons, SDA, Jehovah Witnesses, Christian Science and at the tail end the Pentecostal movement...

GRACE CENTERED CAST YOU OUT OF THEIR SYNAGOGUE BECAUSE YOU QUESTION OTHER PEOPLE'S SALVATION. THAT IS A LIE BUT THEY THINK THAT QUOTING SCRIPTURE IS CONDENMING PEOPLE.

If you just read RB's quotation you will grasp that this forum is PURPOSE DRIVEN to spread hate.

RB and the GRACE-CENTERED  ALONG with the Babel of bibles that begun to flood this world to feed those CULTS. As I have said, so say I again, that period of time was the beginning of the GREAT tribulation period prophesied by Daniel, Christ, Paul and last of all John I'm fully convinced.

RB cannot find a Bible that does not prove that Baptism is the COMMAND of Jesus as the only way to enlist in His School of the Word.

  “so that your sins will be forgiven” (TEV).
  “so that your sins may be forgiven’ (NRSV).
  “for the remission of sins” (KJV, NKJV).
  “for the forgiveness of your sins” (NAB, NASB, NJB, RSV, NIV).

RB and the GRACE-CENTERED  What saith thou? 

P.S. That does NOT mean that I believe that EVERY PERSON that is part of the CoC are not God's children, or of the Pentecostal movement or SDA, for without question God has his children in there just deceived. I cannot say the same concerning the others because of them denying some very important doctrinal truths

RB the believes that MOST people in Churches of Christ are NOT God's Children.  He is living proof that some Church of Christ quit feeding his face because of his disdain for the Word and Authority.

THE GRACELESS COMMENT HAS READ NOTHING.

INDEX OF HISTORICAL SUPPORT FOR BAPTISM

Here is what Got Lee and Grace Centered so upset:

Is. 1:16  Wash [BAPTIZE] you, make you clean;
        put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Is. 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Is. 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:  [Muted by Grace Centered Magazine]
          though your sins be as scarlet,
          they shall be as white as snow;
          though they be red like crimson,
           they shall be as wool.
Is. 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Is. 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, I
         ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.


WHICH WAS CERTIFIED BY JESUS:

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
        and preach the GOSPEL to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
         but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Believeth not is Apistos meaning: I Rebel and refuse to be baptized or WASHED.


Rom. 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

JESUS DECREED THAT BAPTISM IS THE ONLY WAY TO CALL ON HIS NAME

PAUL Refuting the Grace Centered PATTERN.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou?
        arise, and be baptized,
        and wash away thy sins,
        calling on the name of the Lord.

Peter refuting the PATTERN.

1Pet. 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient,
        when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
        while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
        (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
        but the REQUEST FOR a good conscience toward God,)
        by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1Pet. 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
        angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.


Rom. 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
        and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
        and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom. 10:15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent?
        as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of
        Them that preach the gospel of peace,
        and bring glad tidings of good things!
        Rom. 10:16 But they have not all OBEYED the gospel. 
                For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report?

The eunuch heard the gospel preached WANTED TO BE BAPTIZED.

Rom. 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not;
        I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Rom. 10:21 But to Israel he saith,
        All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a DISOBEDIENT and gainsaying people.


2Th. 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
        and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1Pet. 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God [CHURCH OF CHRIST]
          and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

SPEAKING OF GRACE CENTERED WHICH SILENCES JESUS AS GRACE-PERSONIFIED AS HE IS WORD AND LIGHT PERSONIFIED JESUS SAID:

Matt. 13:15 For this people’s heart is WAXED gross,
        and their ears are dull of hearing,
        and their eyes they have closed; [Grace-Centered and RB Anonymous]
        LEST at any time they should SEE with their EYES,
        and HEAR with their ears,
        and should UNDERSTAND with their heart,

            all these things are done in parables:

Justin's Horatatory Address to the Greeks
https://st-takla.org/books/en/ecf/001/0010448.html

"Since therefore it is impossible to learn anything true concerning religion from your teachers,
        who by their mutual disagreement have furnished you with sufficient proof of their own
ignorance,
I consider it reasonable to recur to our progenitors,
        who both in point of time have by a great way the precedence of your teachers,
        and who have taught us
nothing from their own private fancy,
        nor differed with one another,
        nor attempted to overturn one another's positions,
        but without wrangling and contention
        received from God the knowledge which also they taught to us.

For neither by nature nor by human conception is it possible for men to know things so great and divine,
        but by the
gift which then descended from above UPON the holy men,
       
who had no need of rhetorical art,
        nor of uttering anything in a contentious or quarrelsome manner,

                but to present themselves pure to the energy of the Divine SPIRIT
                In order that the
divine plectrum itself, descending from heaven,
                and using righteous men as an
instrument like a harp or lyre,
                might REVEAL to us the KNOWLEDGE. of things divine and heavenly.

Wherefore, as if with ONE
MOUTH and ONE TOUNGE
        they have in succession, and in HARMONY
with one another,
        TAUGHT us both concerning God, and the creation of the world,
                and the formation of man,
                and concerning the immortality of the human soul,
                and the judgment which is to be after this life,
                and concerning all things which it is needful for us to know,
                and thus in divers times and places have afforded us the divine INSTRUCTION .
                (Justin's Horatory Address to the Greeks, Chapt. VIII)

Justin nor any of the historic scholars were IGNORANT of Scripture.

Have ye offered unto Me victims and sacrifices in the wilderness, O house of Israel? saith the Lord.

ye taken up the tabernacle of Moloch,

who applaud at the sound of the musical instruments;

not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

Johnb Unity
"Being human, there is only one type of unity possible for us, and that is unity in diversity. If we do not accept this form of unity there is no other for us" W. Carl Ketcherside. The Twisted Scriptures. 
Tex if you knew Carl and his writings you would know neither of those have anything to do with unity in diversity. 
        The first is another gospel and
         the second is not consistent with a Christian walk.
Unity in diversity is about accepting and working together
        because of what we have in common
        and in spite of interpretation and denominational practices.

WHAT JOHNB AT GRACE CENTERED DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THE FATHER OF END TIME TRIBULATION

Carl Ketcherside Conformity or Diversity

DEMANDS: Some of those who mistake conformity for unity appear to be startled when they first learn that we suggest there may be unity in diversity.
        Actually we go much farther than that.
        We assert that if there is any unity at all it must be unity in diversity,
         if it is to be enjoyed by free men.
        There is no other kind of unity except for slaves.

The Holy Spirit OF God says: Eph. 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
                    BUT be filled with the Spirit;

Eph. 5:19 SPEAKING to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
                    [BUT] singing and making melody IN your heart to the Lord;

JOB ONE FOR APT ELDERS IS TO CAST OUT THE CUNNING CRAFTSMEN OR SOPHISTS TO ENABLE SPEAKING THE WORD.

Eph. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some,
        evangelists
; and some, pastors and teachers;
Eph. 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, 

        for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: [education only]
Eph. 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of THE FAITH[THE WORD, LOGOS]
        and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man


Eph 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, 
        and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
        by the sleight of men, and
       
cunning craftiness whereby they lie in wait to deceive;


This unity is that you MUST take the MARK OF THE BEAST.

In Christianity, Lectio Divina (Latin for "Divine Reading") is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's word. It does not treat scripture as texts to be studied, but as the living word.

HORAE
The course of the seasons (or hours) is symbolically described by the dance of the Horae;
        and, in conjunction with the Charites [Pagan GRACE],
        Hebe, Harmonia, and Aphrodite, 

        they accompany the songs of the Muses
        and Apollo's [Abaddon-Apollon] play on the lyre, with their dancing.

        Agape 'love feast,' Agape the ruler of sacred sexual rites
        Irene 'peace,' Irene was the Crone, bringer of the peace of death

                    unapproachable and serene.

W. Carl Ketcherside: Incendiary Instruments

In many urban communities especially there were those who felt it was necessary to make the congregation "cultured" regardless of the manner by which it was accomplished.

In the heated exchanges the instrument became a status symbol.
        Those who regarded themselves as in a higher social bracket
        And who were progressive in thought and action resented the idea
        of "holding back the church" in the community to please "a bunch of old fogies."

They saw no reason for catering to the whims of an uneducated segment who would make the congregation always subject to the regulation of yokels. In turn, those who opposed the instrument often regarded themselves as the loyal defenders of the bastion against a sinister group of conspirators whom Satan had infiltrated to destroy the last hope of Christianity from the earth.

Winfred E. Garrison in his book "Religion Follows the Frontier," writes about the situation in these words:

"But it should be said that much Christian forbearance was practiced on both sides.
        Franklin (anti-organ) advised the anti-organists to meet separately for worship if an organ was put in over their protest,
        but not to organize a new church, or create a split.
 And Errett (pro-organ) advised discarding the use of the organ where there was opposition by a considerable minority."
I regard as my brothers in the Christ every sincere immersed believer in the Lord Jesus.   Our differences I will approach as differences between brothers,   not as occasions of strife between aliens.  
        I deplore the introduction of instrumental music over the protests of the saints  
        but I deplore even more the adoption of the false premisethat those who were my brothers yesterday are no longer my brothers today.

Ketcherside quotes and lies about several historic preachers saying that they would not EXIT when the Locusts Swarmed under the leadership of Apollyon.

Ketchercide would not permit JohnB to preach for pay.

Karl Ketchercide:
"It is a common error in this degenerate age for men to reason that the duty of elders is to oversee and supervise the work, but they may hire another to do the work.
        "They are willingly ignorant of the fact
        "that their relationship to the flock in a governmental sense is expressed by the term bishop;
        "but their relationship to the flock in a developmental sense is expressed by the term pastor.

"Now they would refuse to hire a man for the first, and claim to hire him only for the second. But it is the second which makes him a pastor, and not the first

"Ask a hireling minister or "located evangelist" the difference between his position and that of the other sectarian pastors about him. His sole glib reply will be that he does not run or manage the church, but is under the elders.

"This has nothing to do with "pastorating." The overseeing or superintending is covered by the term bishop. "The question is not about hiring bishops, but pastors! If a rancher hires a man to prepare feed and dispense it to his sheep, to visit the flock and lead it, has he not hired a shepherd?

"And if the work becomes too arduous and an associate is hired to assist, is he not an associate shepherd? "Could these argue that they were not shepherds because they worked under supervision of the rancher to whom the sheep belonged, and were subject to him as an overseer? Supervising is the work of bishops,feeding the flock is the work of pastors.

"Just because one is not hired to supervise or govern is no sign he is not hired to pastorate. The whole truth is that the very argument of the hireling ministers is a candid admission that they are "pastors" and "associate pastors." (That they All May Be One, Carl Ketcherside, p. 9)

Ketchercide would not fellowship JohnB because his unity demanded that one be baptized FOR the remission of Sins.
Ketchercide would not fellowship JohnB because he rejected all but the Prophets for faith and practice.
Ketchercide would not fellowship JohnB because Johnb is a Calvinist.       

In 1856, Peter Cartwright, the famous Methodist circuit rider, wrote in his autobiography as follows: "The Presbyterians, and other Calvinistic branches of the Protestant Church, used to contend for an educated ministry, for pews, for instrumental music, for a congregational or salaried minister. 'The Methodists universally opposed these ideas; and the illiterate Methodist preachers actually set the world on fire the American world at least--while they were lighting their matches."

Hes. WD 709
Be careful to avoid the anger of the deathless gods. Do not make a friend equal to a brother; but if you do, do not wrong him first, and do not lie to please the tongue. But if he wrongs you first, [710] offending either in word or in deed, remember to repay him double; but if he asks you to be his friend again and be ready to give you satisfaction, welcome him. He is a worthless man who makes now one and now another his friend; but as for you, do not let your face put your heart to shame [715] Do not get a name either as lavish or as churlish, as a friend of rogues, or as a slanderer of good men. Never dare to taunt a man with deadly poverty which eats out the heart; it is sent by the deathless gods. [720] The best treasure a man can have is a sparing tongue, and the greatest pleasure, one that moves orderly; for if you speak evil, you yourself will soon be worse spoken of. Do not be boorish at a common feast where there are many guests; the pleasure is greatest and the expense is least.

The Graces as Muses were "blue-eyed blond musical prostitutes." They were Abaddon-Apollyon's Praise Team.

"Philodemus considered it paradoxical that music should be regarded as veneration of the gods while musicians were paid for performing this so-called veneration. Again, Philodemus held as self deceptive the view that music mediated religious ecstasy.
        He saw the entire condition induced by the noise of cymbals and tambourines as a
disturbance of the spirit.
        He found it significant that, on the whole,
only women and effeminate men fell into this folly.

Accordingly, nothing of value could be attributed to music; it was no more than a slave of the sensation of pleasure, which satisfied much in the same way that food and drink did.

The Three Graces and Mount Olympus
The three Graces resided above the golden clouds on Mount Olympus where they entertained the Olympian gods and goddesses. They sang and danced to the music of the Muses and Apollon's lyre. They were also the attendants of the love deities Aphrodite and Eros and formed part of their retinue. In their roles of social hostesses to the Olympians and especially favored by Hera, Hermes and Apollon for bring joy and goodwill to all of the events.   were also joined in the banquets, celebrations by the four Seasons, called the Horae who were the keepers of the gates to Mount Olympus.
People would invoke the aid of the Graces to guide and assist them in their art, musical compositions, work, songs and dance. The invocation took the form of a prayer for divine inspiration from the goddesses.

Goddess in ancient Middle-Eastern temples. They
were often known as Charites or Graces, since they dealt in the
unique combination of beauty and kindness called charis (Latin caritas)
that was later translated "charity." Actually it was like Hindu karuna,
a combination of mother-love, tenderness, comfort, mystical enlightenment,
and sex.
Hesiod said the sensual magic of the sacred whores or Horae [the HOURS]
Hes. Th. 1 From the Heliconian Muses let us begin to sing, who hold the great and holy mount of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the deep-blue spring and the altar of the almighty son of Cronos, [5] and, when they have washed their tender bodies in Permessus or in the Horse's Spring or Olmeius, make their fair, lovely dances upon highest Helicon and move with vigorous feet. Thence they arise and go abroad by night, [10] veiled in thick mist, and utter their song with lovely voice, praising Zeus the aegis-holder, and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals, and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athena, and Phoebus Apollo, and Artemis who delights in arrows, [15] and Poseidon the earth holder who shakes the earth, and revered Themis, and quick-glancing1Aphrodite, and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty counsellor, Eos, and great Helius, and bright Selene,
[20] Earth, too, and great Oceanus, and dark Night, and the holy race of all the other deathless ones that are for ever. And one day they taught Hesiod glorious song while he was shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon, and this word first the goddesses said to me—
[25] the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis:
         “Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies,
        we know how to speak many false things as though they were true;
        but we know, when we will, to utter true things.”

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself,  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
that God HATH MADE that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord and Christ. [30 years after He was born in the FLESH]
1Corinthians 15:58  Therefore, my beloved brethren,
      be ye stedfast, unmoveable,

      forasmuch as ye know that your labour
      is not in vain in the Lord.

When the Spirit Lord appeared to Paul He said "I am JESUS of Nazareth." There is NO OTHER name.

There is no goal nor the possibility to change those who are not already a DISCIPLE of Christ rather than SILENCING Him by self-authored songs and sermons FOR SALE.
There is NO GRACE
 for those who claim that what people saw was really the LORD GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Before Grace Centered posters no one ever said that Jesus was GOD IN THE FLESH.

There is NO GRACE for those who refuse to listen to more than isolated proof texts: Paul said of the unconverted that they cannot read BLACK text on BROWN paper and refuse to listen to those who understand that GRACE is provided only for those:

Titus 2:11 For the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation hath APPEARED to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope,
        and the glorious appearing of the great God
        AND
        our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us,                 [denied by Calvinist posters]
        that he might redeem us from all iniquity, [Not possible say Calvinists]
        and purify unto himself a PECULIAR people,
        zealous of good works.

LXX Ex.19.5,
laos the common men, Opposite their leaders, 2.365, 13.108;

4. in LXX, of the people, as Opposite priests and Levites, 1 Es.5.46; .,

Heb. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him:
        for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
        and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

There is NO GRACE for those who say that Jesus WAS God or made himself God: Jesus callls them BLASPHEMERS.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that the Jehovah-Elohim came in the flesh: John calls them ANTICHRISTS.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that the Spirit OF God was a GOD PERSON without which Jesus' Words would not be INTELLIGIBLE.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that The Holy Spirit was an ADDITIONAL Comforter God: 1 John 2 says that the Comforter was Jesus Christ the Righteous.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that the HOLY SPIRIT GOD guided the Apostles into all truth when Jesus promised that I WILL COME TO YOU.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that God ETERNALLY decided that yout infant baby would burn in Hell.  The smalll remnant of Jews (excluding Scribes, Priests or Levites) is defined in prophecy and fulfilled that the ELECT would be a small groiup of Jews who had not bowed to Baal.
There is NO GRACE for those who say that A spirit commanded them to impose worship by MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS which that defines the Devil defined as the "Singing and Harp-Playing Prostitute in the garden of Eden."  Machine Worship which destroys indifidula worship IN THE SPIRIT Makes Jesus and others DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER and always associated with BURNING.
There can be NO GRACE for those who call the Holy Spirit in the Prophets, Jesus who exampled and commanded baptism and is the only thing said to SAVE and REMIT SINS.


Ephraim Syrus On Our Lord Grace Loaded Them beyond their Power

19. But when Moses came down, he saw their heathenism revelling
        in the wide plain with
drums and cymbals.
        Speedily, he put their madness to shame by means of the
Levites and drawn swords.

So likewise here, our Lord concealed His knowledge for a little
        when the sinful woman approached Him,
        that the
Pharisee might form into shape his thought,
        as his
fathers had shaped the pernicious calf.

THERE IS NO GRACE (CHARIS) FOR CHARISMATIC WORSHIP LEADERS

Charismatic Worship is Charis or Grace based worship. Scripture is clear that WORD is the only Regulative Principle and SPEAK or READ is the only way to MARK it as Christ and Word-Centered.  The only "worship" concept is to give heed to God by giving heed to His Word.  Charismatic depends a a man-centered speaker and musicians.  Music was-is the most powerful to bring on KOMA or "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."

From clay Tablets onward:
"Atmospheres are going to come through music, because the music is a spiritual thing of its own ... YOU HYPNOTIZE PEOPLE to where they go right back to their natural state [which, biblically speaking, is the fallen, sinful state]... People want release any kind of way nowadays. The idea is to release in the proper form. Then they'll feel like GOING INTO ANOTHER WORLD, a clearer world. The music flows from the air; that's why I CONNECT WITH A SPIRIT, and when they come down off THIS NATURAL HIGH, they see clearer, feel different things..." (Jimmy Hendrix, rock star,
Life, Oct. 3, 1969, p. 74).

Jeremiah 11:18 And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it:
        then thou shewedst me their doings.

Jeremiah 11:19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter;
        and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying,
        Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living,
        that his name may be no more remembered.

Those who get a vision to MOCK JESUS in fulfillment of prophecy ALSO rush to remove CHRIST from their public confession.

The eternal ENCOMIAST

The statue was also clad in
costly raiment, bathed, and escorted to bed in the bedchamber of the god, often on top of the temple tower, or ziggurat.

To see to all of this the god had priests trained as cooks, bakers, waiters, and bathers, or as encomiasts (singers of praise) and musicians

to make the god's meals festive, or as elegists to soothe him in times of stress and grief. Diversions from the daily routine were the great monthly festivals and also a number of special occasions.

Tatian to the Greeks Chapter VII.—Concerning the Fall of Man.

For the heavenly Logos,
        a spirit emanating from the Father
        and a Logos from the Logos-power,
        in imitation of the Father who begat Him made man an image of immortality, so that, as incorruption is with God, in like manner, man, sharing in a part of God, might have the immortal principle also. The Logos, too, before the creation of men, was the Framer of angels. And each of these two orders of creatures was made free to act as it pleased, not having the nature of good, which again is with God alone, but is brought to perfection in men through their freedom of choice, in order that the bad man may be justly punished, having become depraved through his own fault, but the just man be deservedly praised for his virtuous deeds, since in the exercise of his free choice he refrained from transgressing the will of God. Such is the constitution of things in reference to angels and men. And the power of the Logos, having in itself a faculty to foresee future events, not as 68fated, but as taking place by the choice of free agents, foretold from time to time the issues of things to come; it also became a forbidder of wickedness by means of prohibitions, and the encomiast of those who remained good.

And, when men attached themselves to one who was more subtle than the rest, having regard to his being the first-born,

Notes Genesis 3:1-5
The devil, as he is a liar, so he is a scoffer from the beginning; and scoffers are his children. It is the craft of Satan to speak of the Divine law as uncertain or unreasonable, and so to draw people to sin; it is our wisdom to keep up a firm belief of God's command

Notes continued:

        In the first part everything is plain.
Apollon and the Muses are to the Greek the authors of all harmony, artistic, political, social, spiritual.
The lyre, as the instrument of Apollon,
        is the symbol of the reign of harmony over the wide domain of Zeus.
Everything that owes allegiance to Zeus obeys his son Apollo,
        obeys the quivering [palmos] of the lyre's strings.
        So the footstep of the dancer,
        the voice of the singer.
        Even the thunderbolt, the weapon of Zeus, is quenched,
                the bird of Zeus slumbers,
                the wild son of Zeus, violent Ares, sleeps a deep sleep.
                This is the art of the son of Leto and the deep-bosomed Muses (vv. 1-12).

The Elegiac Poems of Theognis

15-18 Muses and Graces, Daughters of Zeus, who came of yore to the wedding of Cadmus and sang so fair a song, ‘What is fair is dear, and not dear what is not fair,’ —such was the song that passed your immortal lips.

757-768 May Zeus that dwelleth in the sky ever keep his right arm over this city for her safety's sake, and with him the other Blessed Immortals;
        may Apollon set straight both our tonque and our wits;
        and may harp and pipe sound holy music;

        and let us conciliate the Gods with a libation,
        and drink in pleasant converse one with another,
        fearing no whit the war of the Medes. 'Twere better thus,
         'twere better to spend our days in jolly revelry,
        of one accord and cares apart, and to keep far away those evil Spirits,
        baleful Eld and the end that is Death.
All religious Religious Musicians quickly devolve to a Rock and Roll style.

Rick Atchley The FOUNDATION used by Instrumental Apostates: "You are going to find a lot of a cappella churches that are gonna' start saying Sunday morning we are going to be a cappella, but after that, we are going to let a lot of freedom reign, which is pretty much what we do at Richland Hills.

 You walk into our youth center Sunday morning or Wednesday night: and I'm telling you; Christian rock an' roll is just blasting" (p. 9).

"Rock 'n' roll is pagan and primitive, and very jungle, and that's how it should be! The moment it stops being those things, it's dead ... the true meaning of rock ... is sex, subversion and style" (Malcolm McLaren, punk rock manager, Rock, August 1983, p. 60).

"When you're in a certain frame of mind, particularly sexually-oriented, there's nothing better than rock and roll ... because that's where most of the performers are at" (Aerosmith's manager,
USA Today, Dec. 22, 1983, p. D5).

"Rock music is sex and you have to hit them [teenagers] in the face with it" (Andrew Oldham, manager of the Rolling Stones,
Time, April 28, 1967, p. 54).

"The great strength of rock 'n' roll lies in its beat ... it is a music which is basically sexual, un-Puritan ... and a threat to established patterns and values" (Irwin Silber, Marxist,
Sing Out, May 1965, p. 63).

Praise and Worship songs based on Voodoo

TRINITY in Scripture and the first users of the Greek TRIAS speaks of the nature of the ONE GOD in respect to His INSTRUCTION to the Earlier Prophets to define the Ekklesia of Christ both inclusively and now through the MAN JESUS OF NAZARETH.  Most clergy do not want you to know Scripture or history.

IN NO LANGUAGE DOES "SPIRIT" EVER MEAN A PERSON OR A GOD. God Puts His Words into Jesus directly: the way He dose this is by the figurative word BREATH.

Theophilus the ORIGINATOR Chapter IX.-The Prophet's Inspired by the Holy Ghost.

But men of God  carrying in them A holy spirit and becoming prophets, being inspired and made wise by God, became God-taught, and holy, and righteous.

Wherefore they were also deemed worthy of receiving this reward, that they should become
........... instruments of God, and contain the wisdom that is from Him,
........... ........... through which wisdom they uttered both
........... ........... what regarded the creation of the world and all other things.

For they predicted also pestilences, and famines, and wars. And there was not one or two, but many, at various times and seasons among the Hebrews; and also among the Greeks there was the Sibyl; and they all have spoken things consistent and harmonious with each other, both what happened before them and what happened in their own time, and what things are now being fulfilled in our own day: wherefore we are persuaded also concerning the future things that they will fall out, as also the first have been accomplished.

Chapter X.-The World Created by God Through the Word.

And first, they taught us with one consent that God made all things out of nothing; for nothing was coeval with God: but He being His own place, and wanting nothing,
........... and existing before the ages, willed to make man by whom He might be known;
........... for him, therefore, He prepared the world.
........... For he that is created is also needy; but he that is uncreated stands in need of nothing.

God, then, having His own Word internal within His own bowels,
........... begat Him, emitting Him
........... along with His own wisdom before all things.

He had this Word as a helper in the things that were created by Him, and by Him He made all things.

He is called "governing principle", because He rules, and is Lord of all things fashioned by Him.
He, then, being
Spirit of God,
        and governing
principle,
        and
wisdom,
        and
power of the highest,
came down upon the prophets
, and through them spoke of the creation of the world and of all other things.  (This was the Spirit of Christ, 1 Peter 1:11; Revelation 19:10)

THE KHARITES (Charites) or Graces, were the three goddesses of grace, beauty, adornment, mirth, festivity, dance and song. A number of "younger Kharites" presided over the other pleasures of life, including play, amusement, banqueting, floral decoration, happiness, rest and relaxation.

The Kharites were attendants of the goddesses Aphrodite and Hera. One named Kharis, was the wife of Hephaistos. Another, Pasithea, was married to Hypnos (Sleep).

Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness [benignitatem per se gratam]. GRACE as a LIVING BEING
        and love of God
        our Saviour toward man APPEARED,
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
        but according to his mercy he SAVED US,
             BY the WASHING OF regeneration,
             AND renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Titus 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

GRACE CENTERED DEMANDS ECUMENICISM

All founders of denominations claimed to be based on SCRIPTURE. That meant the Old and New Testament.
Those who have gained control of The Grace Centered Movement rejects God Who is the LOGOS or Regulative Principle and Jesus Who commanded that we teach and observe what HE commanded: that includes the Prophets and Apostles and Excludes Priests and Levites (Speakers and musicians).  The only personified SPIRITUS is Apollon leader of Musical Worship Teams known as LOCUSTS.

HOLY SPIRIT POURED OUT AS A PERSON REPLACING FATHER AND SON'S WORD.
Testament of Levi   showing the understanding

Then shall the Lord raise up a new priest. And to him
all the WORDS of the Lord shall be revealed;
and he shall execute a righteous judgment upon the earth for a multitude of days.
And his star shall arise in heaven as of a king. Testament of Levi 5:13-15

And the knowledge of the Lord shall be POURED forth upon the earth,
as the water of the seas.
The heavens shall be opened, and
from the temple of glory shall come upon him sanctification,
with the Father's voice as from Abraham to Isaac.
And the glory of the Most High shall be uttered over him and
the SPIRIT OF and sanctification
shall rest upon him in the water. Testament of Levi 5:19,-22

And he shall open the gates of paradise,
and shall remove the
threatening sword against Adam,
and he shall give to the saints to eat from the tree of life,
and the
spirit of holiness shall be on them.
And Beliar shall be bound by him,
and he shall give power to his children to tread upon the evil spirits. Testament of Levi 5:26-27

THE DOVE AS PARABLE.

The dove, the chosen symbol of this deified queen, is commonly represented with an olive branch in her mouth (Fig 25),
When the goddess was thus represented as the Dove with the olive branch, there can be no doubt that the symbol had partly reference to the story of the flood; but there was much more in the symbol than a mere memorial of that great event. "A branch," as has been already proved, was the symbol of the deified son, and when the deified mother was represented as a Dove, what could the meaning of this representation be but just to identify her with the Spirit of all grace, that brooded, dove-like, over the deep at the creation; for in the sculptures at Nineveh, as we have seen, the wings and tail of the dove represented the third member of the idolatrous Assyrian trinity. In confirmation of this view, it must be stated that the Assyrian "JunoHislop 23

Grace Centered Magazine INFORMED by Lipscomb University but now controlled by Jews, blasphemers, antichrists and Messianic Jews.

Leonard Allen Spirit poured out to ENABLE the Father and Son in Mission
In these “trinitarian” narratives, Scripture reveals the PERSON of the Spirit in an intimate relationship with Jesus.
        The Son and the Spirit are INTERDEPENDENT persons
                who TOGETHER,  in the intimacy of their relationship,
                work to bring us into the fullness of life the Father desires for us.

Grace Centered Controllers refuse to post the rebuttal.  That is because ANTICHRISTS deny that the MAN Jesus Christ came in the flesh.

Grace Centered and the Jews claimed that Jesus made himself God. Jesus branded BLASPHEMERS who refuted His claim to be the Son of God under the full authority of His and our father.

Grace Centered Forum moderators and favored Messianic Jews:

        Jesus of Nazareth the "person" did not exist. What people saw IN THE FLESH was the only "I AM the Lord-God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."      
        This is the extreme Lipscomb Invented Trinity of Three persons as centers of consciousness and ONE only if they were in close communion. 

Antithesis: The MAN Jesus of Nazareth:  

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see;
        for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Grace Centered Magazine and C. Leonard Allen Lipscomb:  
The Son was dependent upon the SPIRIT, and the Spirit was dependent upon the Son;
                            in the New Testament, we see a deep reciprocity between them
      

Neither Hebrew, Latin or Greek words translated as SPIRIT is ever a PERSON much less a GOD.  SPIRIT produces WORDS as the well-documented Pneuma-Logos concept.  This is the opposite of Jewish spirit as SOPHIA which is marked by vocal and instrument music Biblically and historically connected to real or virtual pederasty. Paul excludes the Concision or Dogs in Philippiuans 3.

The IMPURE GRACES are offended by masculine LOGOS and devote themselves to SELF-EXHIBITION in religious rituals using Praise Songs with clear sexual content.

This movement has come a long way fast. It will not go away soon, I believe, because it is so intimately tied to deep changes in modern society, in particular those associated with philosophical postmodernism.

SAVE YOURSELVES FROM THE CROOKED RACE
Symposium of Plato: the Crooked Race of singing and playing twisting songs as a prelude to BOY LOVE.

Not till they are half-way through the meal does Socrates appear; and Agathon rallies him on his devotion to sophia. The proposal of Pausanias to restrict the potations, in view of yesterday's banquet, and that of Eryximachus to dismiss the flute-girl and amuse themselves by logoi, are unanimously agreed to. Then Eryximachus propounds an idea of Phaedrus, that Eros is the best possible theme for encomia, and suggests that each of the party in turn, commencing with Phaedrus, should now deliver an encomium on Eros. [WRATH] This suggestion is applauded by Socrates. Of the encomia the most noteworthy were the following:—

c The general characteristics (1) of Eros Pandemos are that it is directed to women as well as boys, to the body rather than the soul, to unscrupulous satisfaction of lust; (2) whereas Eros Uranios shuns females and seeks only such males as are noble and nearly mature both in mind and body. It is the followers of Eros Pandemos who have brought paederastia into disrepute.

d The varying nomoi concerning Eros may be classified thus:—

(1) In all Greek states except Athens the nomos [LEGALISM] is simple, either (a) approving paederastia, as in Elis and Boeotia; or (b) condemning it, as in Ionia and states subject to barbarian rule, where it is held to foster a dangerous spirit of independence (e.g. Harmodius and Aristogiton).

(2) At Athens the nomos is complex. (a) Eros is approved, and its excesses condoned, when directed towards superior youths approaching manhood. (b) It appears to be condemned, in so far as parents forbid their boys to hold converse with “erastae.” The explanation of this ambiguous attitude must be sought in the principle laid down above, that the moral quality of an act depends upon the conditions of its performance. The Athenian nomos provides a test for distinguishing between good and bad forms of Eros: the test of time shows whether or not the right motive (desire for aretē) [OUTLAWED IN ROMANS 15] actuates both the lover and his object. This motive alone justifies all erotic pursuits and surrenders, even mutual deception: hence we conclude that kalon aretēs heneka kharizesthai.

The number and features of these three sexes were owing to the fact that the male was originally the offspring of the sun, and the female of the earth; while that which partook of both sexes was born of the moon, for the moon also partakes of both.1 They were globular in their shape as in their progress, since they took after their parents. Now, they were of surprising strength and vigor, and so lofty in their notions that they even conspired against the gods; and the same story is told of them as Homer relates of

A man of this sort is at any rate born to be a lover of boys or the willing mate of a man, eagerly greeting his own kind. Well, when one of them—whether he be a boy-lover or a lover of any other sort—

Matt. 10:26 Fear them not therefore:

Jesus of Nazareth appeared and spoke to Paul and Jesus of Nazareth in the FORM of HOLY SPIRIT would speak to the Apostles.

Matt. 10:27 What I TELL you in darkness,
        that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the EAR,

Leonard Allen Informing Grace Centered Magazine: The fullest portrayal of the personhood of the Spirit is found in the Paraclete passages in John 14–16,
        where the Spirit MEDIATES the Father and the Son to the disciples (especially 14:6–11).

That means that neither FATHER nor SON speak INTELLIGIBLY and therefore the Spirit God is REQUIRED.

However, Jesus said that He would be the COMFORTER and He is the ONLY MEDIATOR.

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE [unus] GOD [A Single]
        AND ONE [unus] mediator BETWEEN God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;

John 14:15 If ye love me, keep MY commandments.
John 14:16 And I will pray the Father,
        and he shall give you another Comforter,  [allos different meaning in the state of HOLY SPIRIT]
        that he may abide with you for ever;

Jesus didn't say THE HOLY SPIRIT AS REQUIRED GOD PERSON. Spirit means BREATH which conveys MENTAL DISPOSITION."

John 14:17 Even the Spirit OF truth; whom the world cannot receive,
        because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
        but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

GOD IS COMPLETE IN THAT HE THINKS, BREATHES AND ARTICULATES WORDS. That is the TRIAS taught by Scripture and the first writers along with John to refute the Greeks and Jews SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN who taught that Jesus WAS their old Jehovah and Messiah ONLY of Jews. PEOPLE are OF the World and speak OF the world or they could never misunderstand that JESUS in His glorified or HOLY SPIRIT state will be the only mediator.

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless [Paraklete]: I will come to you.
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more;
        but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 14:20 At that day ye shall know that
        I am IN my Father,
        and ye IN me,
        and I IN you.

CONDITION:

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments,
        and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: a
        And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father,
        and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE [unus] GOD [A Single]
        AND ONE [unus] mediator BETWEEN God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;

1John 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
        And if any man sin, we have an advocate
[Paraklete] with the Father,
        Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
        and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word,
        IN HIM verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Grace Centered Magazine:  John 10:30 I and my Father are one

Antithesis: The MAN Jesus of Nazareth:  

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:
        the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not,
        because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice,
        and I know them, and they follow me:
John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
        neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John 10:29 My Father, which gave them me,
        is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

From English Grammar the AND proves that I am not my FATHER.  From the context, Jesus said that I and my father are UNITED.

[350] With this man no one can be wroth if he sings of the evil doom of the Danaans; for men praise that song the most which comes the newest to their ears. For thyself, let thy heart and soul endure to listen; for not Odysseus alone lost [355] in Troy the day of his return, but many others likewise perished.
        Nay, go to thy chamber, and busy thyself with thine own tasks, the loom and the distaff,
        and bid thy handmaids ply their tasks; but speech shall be for men,
        for all, but most of all for me; since mine is the authority in the house.

Mere Nick (Masked Man)  I was trying to get a straight answer from Kenneth Sublett about what he thought should and shouldn't happen with the church meets.  It appears that he was of the view that there should be no preaching or singing.  Does that sum it up?

After the Instrumental fall from grace at Mount Sinai the Church of Christ (the Rock) was REaffirmed (from Jacob in Genesis 49).  This quarantined the godly people for REST from the always-pagan seventh day "worship" (Legalism).  The once-piece pattern never changed. Timothy and even Gentiles were wise unto salvation because:

Acts 15:21 For Moses of OLD time hath in every city
        them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues
        every sabbath day
. [That means once each week excluding Priests or Levites]

Scribes and Pharisees are called hypocrites by quoting Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33

Matt. 15:7 Ye HYPOCRITES, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Matt. 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their MOUTH,
        and honoureth me with their LIPS;
        but their heart is far from me.
Matt. 15:9 But in VAIN they do worship me,

        teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

The Spirit OF Christ said of those who do NOT teach the commandments THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM

Those spreading hate against churches of Christ using the ACAPPELLA word as a RACA word Never needed any authority from God for anything.  They claim that A spirit commanded them to do what feels good because we are beyond the Father Dispensation, the Son and Bible dispensation and are now under THE holy spirit dispensation,  EX churches of Christ use the Latin PSALLO word promoted as late as 1878 to COMMAND musical instruments to REPLACE speaking that which is written for our learning.

Most once-conservative Churches of Christ do a legalistic end run around Scripture by saying that the Greek PSALLO commands an OBSERVATION (to which the kingdom does not come) of SINGING Psalms, hymns and spiritual song and making HARMONY which is not related to MELODY.  They say MELODY OUT LOUD, Paul said MELODY in the heart or Silent as in 1 Corinthians 14.

Psallō IN THE HEART or SILENT simply means to SMITE a string (bow) with the FINGERS but not with the PLECTRUM to make a TWANGING sound.  The Psallō in the Bible has no musical component but speaks of the senior leaders plucking a lyre to seduce a younger male whose pubic hairs had been PLUCKED.


Vocal or Instrumental Psallo is NOT Psallō IN THE HEART or SILENT.  The Key factor in the Christian Assembly is that both male and female remain silent "so that we might all come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH or the Word of God.

Religious Music was performed by WOMEN or EFFEMINATE Males.  They both thought that their condition and public persona proved that they spoke for the "gods."  Paul then rebuffs all mediators in song and sermon but the READER because:

Singing and dancing or any BODY MOVEMENT
 

Saltatio   In many of the Greek States the art of dancing was carried to great perfection by females, who were frequently engaged to add to the pleasures and enjoyment of men at their symposia. These dancers always belonged to the courtesans. Xenophon ( Symp. ix. 2-7) describes a mimetic dance which was represented at a symposium where Socrates was present. It was performed by a maiden and a youth, belonging to a Syracusan, who is called the orkhēstodidaskalos, and represented the loves of Dionysus and Ariadnι.
Xen. Sym. 9.2    After he had withdrawn, a chair of state, first of all, was set down in the room, and then the Syracusan came in with the announcement: “Gentlemen, Ariadne will now enter the chamber set apart for her and Dionysus; after that, Dionysus, a little flushed with wine drunk at a banquet of the gods, will come to join her; and then they will disport themselves together.”

Saltatio Dancing was common among the Romans in ancient times in connection with religious festivals and rites, and was practised, according to Servius (ad Verg. Ecl. v. 73), because the ancients thought that no part of the body should be free from the influence of religion.
Verg. Ecl. v. 73
Therewithal at my behest
shall Lyctian Aegon and Damoetas sing,
and Alphesiboeus emulate in dance
the dancing Satyrs. This, thy service due,
shalt thou lack never, both when we pay the Nymphs
our yearly vows,


Saltatio but the terms orkhēsis and saltatio were used in so much wider a sense than our word dancing that they were applied to designate gestures even when the body did not move at all (saltare solis oculis, Ov. Met. x. p. 251).
Ov. Met. 10

Downe at the gate of Taenarus did go to Limbo lake.
And thence by gastly folk and soules late buried he did take
His journey to Persephonee and to the king of Ghosts
That like a Lordly tyran reignes in those unpleasant coasts.
And playing on his tuned harp he thus began to sound:
O you, the Sovereines of the world set underneath the ground,
To whome wee all (what ever thing is made of mortall kynd)
Repayre, if by your leave I now may freely speake my mynd,
I come not hither as a spye the shady Hell to see:
Nor yet the foule three headed Curre whose heares all Adders bee
To tye in cheynes. The cause of this my vyage is my wyfe
Whose foote a Viper stinging did abridge her youthfull lyfe.

Saltatio Dancing was originally closely connected with religion. Plato thought all dancing should be based on religion, as it was, he says, among the Egyptians. It has been shown under Chorus that the chorus in the oldest times consisted of the whole population of a city, who met in a public place to offer up thanksgivings to the god of their country by singing hymns and performing dances. These dances, which, like all others, were accompanied by music, were therefore of a strictly religious nature; and in all the public festivals, which were so numerous among the Greeks, dancing formed a very prominent part. We find, from the earliest times, that the worship of Apollo was connected with a religious dance called Hyporchema (q.v.)
The Oschophoria, This procession, in which a chorus of singers was preceded by two youths in woman's clothing, marched from the temple of Athenι to that of Dionysus. The festival was concluded by a sacrifice and a banquet.

The members of the different tribes first went in solemn processions to the altar of the god, on which a goat was offered in sacrifice. The sacrifice was followed by feasting and revelry, with abundance of jesting and mockery and dramatic improvisations.
Hyporchēma (huporkhēma). A species of lyric, choral song in lively rhythms; its subject was generally gay, and contained imitative dance movements. Like the paeans, these choral odes were mostly sung in honour of Apollon

Saltatio In the former, the life and adventures of the god were represented by mimetic dancing (see Dionysia); the dance called Bakkhikē was a satyric dance, and chiefly prevailed in Ionia and Pontus; the most illustrious men in the State danced in it, representing Titans, Corybantians, satyrs, and husbandmen, and the spectators were so delighted with the exhibition that they remained sitting the whole day to witness it, forgetful of everything else

Markus Reciting the Book: 11 Hence, I argue first that the representation of the epic recital is highly dependent upon the representation of other public performances and, second, that epic's social image is attacked and reclaimed via its public performance.

In fact, behind the criticisms of the epic recital often lie issues about the performance of gender and social status.

In that regard, epic's position is parallel to that of rhetoric. Beginning with Aristotle's Rhetorica (1404a), critics of rhetorical performance have ascribed to lively delivery the same effect as that of acting. There is a persistent association between theatrics, bad rhetoric and effeminacy.

Rhetoric was forever at pains to disentangle itself from unwanted associations with female deception and histrionic art, because it was viewed as the art of socially weak women and slaves,and rhetoricians of all ages have assiduously fought against any trace of bodily and vocal practice associated with these groups.

However, from the examples that I have just used, it is evident, I believe, which art of music I consider appropriate in the training of the orator and to what extent.

Nevertheless, I think that I need to be more explicit in stating that the music which I prescribe is not the modern music which has been emasculated by the lascivious melodies of the effeminate stage and has to no small extent destroyed the amount of manly vigor that we still possessed.

I refer rather to the music of old with which people used to sing the praises of brave men and which the brave themselves used to sing. 

But this fact does not justify degeneration into sing-song or the effeminate modulations now in vogue. There is an excellent saying on this point attributed to Gaius Caesar while he was still a boy: "If you are singing, you sing badly; if you are reading, you sing."

Girardian Reflections on the Lectionary:
5.4.2
Behind the anthropological predilections against the victim's perspective, there is a very practical, quasi-historical reason: namely, the victim is shunned and often killed. In the ancient world, the role of music during ritual sacrifice was often to drown out any cries from the victim. (45) It is crucial that the victim not be heard. The practical mechanics of making victims means that it is unusual for the victim's perspective to survive. In the world of ancient ritual it was probably impossible.


45. The Greek verb myo means to close the mouth or shut the eyes. There is debate about whether myo plays a crucial role in the etymology of other significant words such as myth, mystery, and even music. These etymologies make sense within the Girardian hypotheses.
          Myth means to close ourselves to the victim
                and tell the tale according to the perpetrator's perspective;
          mystery cults are based on the silence of the victims; music derives from drowning out
          the voice of the victim

5.5 In general, then, the survival of the victim's perspective is highly unusual as a historical phenomenon -- until more recent history, that is, when the victim's perspective has finally established a beachhead in Western culture, namely, the cultures most often in closest contact with the Gospel (more on this below). (And it must be emphasized that the close contact is in the category of being an accident of history and not by any meritorious claims for Western culture. In short, the perspective of the victim has established a place in Western culture not because of any inherent merit in Western culture but because of the historical accident of being in close proximity to the Gospel over a long period of time.)

Cic. Catil. 2.10.23 In these bands are all the gamblers,

        These boys, so witty and delicate,
        have learnt not only to love and to be loved,
            not only to sing and to dance,
            but also to brandish daggers and to administer poisons;
       and unless they are driven out,
       unless they die, even should Catiline die, 
       I warn you that the school of Catiline would exist in the republic.
But what do those wretches want? Are they going to take their wives with them to the camp? how can they do without them, especially in these nights? and how will they endure the Apennines, and these frosts, and this snow?
      unless they think that they will bear the winter more easily
      because they have been in the habit of dancing naked at their feasts. O
war much to be dreaded, when Catiline is going to have his bodyguard of prostitutes!

Suet. Tit. 3 While yet a boy, he was remarkable for his noble endowments both of body and mind; and as he advanced in years, they became still more conspicuous.

Gifted with an excellent memory, and a capacity for all the arts of peace and war; he was a perfect master of the use of arms and riding; very ready in the Latin and Greek tongues,
        both in verse and prose; and such was the facility he possessed in both,
        that he would harangue and VERSIFY extempore.
        Nor was he unacquainted with MUSIC,
                but could both SING and PLAY upon the HARP sweetly and scientifically.
        I have likewise been informed by many persons,
                that he was remarkably quick in writing short-hand,
                would in merriment and jest engage with his secretaries
                in the imitation of any hand-writing he saw, and often say, "

        she was skilled in Greek and Roman literature;
        she could sing, play, and dance, *
        with greater elegance than became a woman of virtue,
and possessed many other accomplishments that tend to excite the passions. But nothing was ever less valued by her than honor or chastity. Whether she was more prodigal of her money or her reputation, it would have been difficult to decide. Her desires were so ardent that she oftener made advances to the other sex than waited for solicitation. She had frequently, before this period, forfeited her word, forsworn debts, been privy to murder, and hurried into the utmost excesses by her extravagance and poverty. But her abilities were by no means despicable; she could compose verses, jest, and join in conversation either modest, tender, or licentious. In a word, she was distinguished by much refinement of wit, and much grace of expression.

* Sing, play, and dance] “Psallere, saltare.” As psallo signifies both to play on a musical instrument,  
  and to sing to it while playing, I have thought it necessary to give both senses in the translation.

However  Psallō.   used in Scripture does NOT include plucking a harp to make music.

Even the Vocal or Instrumental Psallo  II. In partic., in ecclestiacal Latin, to sing the Psalms of David, Hier. Ep. 107, 10; Aug. in Psa. 46; 65; Vulg. 1 Cor. 14, 15

Everyone in Corinth wanted to speak their own sermons and sing their own songs. They wanted to speak in their own tongue or MINOR DIALECT while most in Corinth could understand Koine Greek. Unless there was someone to translate they should keep silent.

        and I will pray WITH the understanding also:
        I will sing WITH the spirit,
        and I will sing WITH the understanding also.

Max Moon, Gary, Tex etc. saysMy basic point is the CofC "instrumental music is sinful" Specific authority/Generic authority arguments have always been absolutely asinine.   Piney is just taking it to the extreme.

God is WORD in the same sense that He is LIGHT and all available qualities.  The Word is the Logos and is defined as the Regulative Principle well known to anyone who has ever heard Jesus as the PATTERN saying that He only spoke what the Father breathed into without METRON or meter.

This was removed as a statement of the Spirit of Christ Who is accused of being a blowhard.

As for "preachers" there is no role and no dole. A preacher or Kerusso is a HERALD and he takes the news from one to another and gets hurt if he changes it.

Isa 8:19 And when they shall say unto you,
        Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, [Witch of Endor, empty, dry wineskin or Nebel]
        and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:
                should not a people seek unto their God?
                for the living to the dead?

Sorcerers or witches blow hard from their own opinions which are outlawed by God's WORD:

The familiar spirit is a dry, empty wineskin. It serves as the echo chamber of the nebel which means 'VILE.' It has the same meaning as the harp and the sounding gongs in 1 Cor. 13.

All Jews and Most christians who follow the PATTERN worship DEATH and HELL.  Paul quoted from Isaiah 28 when equating speaking in tongues to playing instruments always proof that people will not or cannot hear the WORD.

Is. 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us:
        for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Is. 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold,
        I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation:
        he that believeth shall not make haste.
Is. 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet:
        and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Is. 28:18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled,
        and your agreement with hell shall not stand;
        when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.


Behold, the name of the Lord comes after a long time, 

        burning wrath; the word of his lips is with glory, a word full of anger
        and the
anger of his wrath shall devour as fire. Isaiah 30:27 LXX

And his breath, as rushing water in a valley, reach reach as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for their vain error; error also shall pursue them and overtake them. Isaiah 30:28 LXX

Then, God asks why the people must always rejoice as they went to Jerusalem to burn infants in the red hot arms of Molech?

Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast?
        and must ye go with a PIPE, as those that rejoice into the mountain of the Lord,
        to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29 LXX
Is. 30:31 For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian [In the Temple] be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
Is. 30:32 And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass,
        which the LORD shall lay upon him,
        it shall be with TABRETS and HARPS: and in BATTLES of shaking will he fight with it.
Is. 30:33 For Tophet is ordained of old;
        yea, for the king it is prepared;
        he hath made it deep and large:
        the pile thereof is fire and much wood;
        the breath [Spirit] of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. 

To the law and to the testimony:
        if they speak not according to this WORD,
        it is because there is no light in them.
Isa 8:20

Max Moon etal says that is ASININE!

Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony [proof] of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
WORD in Latin is Verbum and rhēma, what is spoken or said “verbum scribere ... verbi litterae,”

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying,
        For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy;
        and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.


Jesus called them blasphemers because He always said that He was the SON of God.
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified [at his baptism]
        and sent into the world, [Those OF the World are earth-born and not spiritual. They are called a Viper Race]

Courtship of Inanna and Dumuzi or Tammuz in Ezekiel 8

Mike Cope 2017 PBL The Hieros Gamos Theme

Laura Buffington: With sex playing such a prominent role in the art and life of OUR culture, the church would be wise to reclaim the metaphor of sex AS salvation. Making the whole story of our lives about the salvation found in physical intimacy is to miss the grander picture of intimate salvation promised to Beloved Humanity by God the Lover.

Sara.Barton.The.Song.of.Solomon
my pastoral impulse this week is to proclaim the message of the Song of Songs. And here’s why: We desperately need public, communal language about sex, and we have an oft-overlooked resource in the Bible.
        Song of Songs is unique in several ways, one of which is the fact that it’s the only place in Scripture where a woman’s voice leads the conversation (the woman speaks 61 of 117 verses). In light of what we’ve heard lately, it seems like a good time to let a wise woman speak about sexual activity that’s right and good, a woman who not only speaks but sings and shouts about intimate, sensual, erotic passion. And in all her talk about kissing, touching, tasting, and smelling, she does not offend with crass or vulgar language. She exemplifies how it’s possible to speak about sex and intimacy appropriately. We might do well to let her teach us a thing or two.

3.30.16 The Israelites fell into instrumental-trinitarian idolatry at Mount Sinai and God removed The Book of the Covenant of Grace from the Civil-Military-Clergy.  In the Second Law given because of Transgression they were warned that their sin beyond redemption was conditional:

Where then are those who dare to mutilate themselves; seeing that they draw down the Apostolic curse, and accuse the workmanship of God, and take part with the Manichees?


Chrysostom understood that the pagans used vocal or instrumental noise to stir up or create anxiety so that they could steal your food money. Christ outlawed this in Isaiah 55.  Christ outlawed BLASPHEMY in the modern context of saying that God commanded instrumental distractions when  He DID NOT.

But if you will not allow this,  why do you not mutilate the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the whole body?

Below: God say this just BEFORE and just AFTER Hezekiah's Plague Stopping Exorcism. This is recorded in 2 Chronicles 29: it is the PATTERN a "spirit" commanded Rick Atchley etal to impose "instrumental praise".  Spiritus in Latin defines the personified spirit as that of Apollon or Abbadon. He is the ruler of the locusts to readers is defined as the leader of the Muses or the adulterous musicians. In Revelation 18 they are defined as sorcerers who HAD deceived the whole world.

The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem

Molech.Col.Wiki2.gif

This is the PATTERNISM just before and just after 2 Chronicles 29 Rick Atchley says commands him.

Moloch, Chiun and Remphan are all names for the star god, Saturn, whose symbol is a six pointed star formed by two triangles. Saturn was the supreme god of the Chaldeans.

Molech is the Ammonite name; Chiun, the Arabic and Persian name, written also Chevan. In an Arabic lexicon Chiun means "austere"; so astrologers represented Saturn as a planet baleful in his influence. Hence the Phoenicians offered human sacrifices to him, children especially; so idolatrous Israel also. Rimmon was the Syrian name (2Ki 5:18); pronounced as Remvan, or "Remphan," just as Chiun was also Chevan. Molech had the form of a king; Chevan, or Chiun, of a star [GROTIUS]. Remphan was the Egyptian name for Saturn: hence the Septuagint translator of Amos gave the Egyptian name for the Hebrew, being an Egyptian. [HODIUS II, De Bibliorum Textibus Originalibus. 4.115].

        And there is no rest for

the Levites and all the blowers of the ram's horn
        shall sound a
battle alarm, .
        and the foot soldiers shall stretch out their hands against the host...
        and at the sound of the
alarm
        they shall begin to
bring down the slain.
        All the people shall cease their
clamor,

Edward Fudge might give you Grace?

Mere Nick: Before one is baptized in our congregation the one seeking baptism is asked if they believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God. 

The gospel preached was the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM: one would hope that no one would be baptized who had not been that Gospel. The Spirit OF Christ defined the gospel of the "REST" but not worship in the sense of ceremonial legalism. The Prophets defined the REST day then and another DAY both inclusively and exclusively.

BEFORE people could be baptized they should understand the Doctrine which MUST include what they are to AVOID and refuse to fellowship or support. 2 Timothy 3 How to Avoid witchcraft and sorcerers who use the performing arts (outlawed) to deceive the simple minded. One might believe in Jesus but not know that he is being cultified in performing artists sectarians. They should understand that the SECT that is called the WAY is a PATTERN and is NARROW and foolish people cannot even stumbe into it.  Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or sophists: rhetoricians, singers or instrument players.

2 Timothy 3 defining Sorcery or Soothsaying which was the "prophesying" of Miriam and the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levitical noise makers.

2Tim. 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

2Tim. 3:11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra;
         what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2Tim. 3:12 Yea, and ALL that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2Tim. 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse,
        deceiving, and being deceived.

If one is baptized by Evil Seducers then their "body count" may not count with God.  They should hear Jesus say that those who SPEAK the word (Logos, Regulative principle) will be hated and cast out of the synagogue or FORUMS.

Acts 13:5 And when they were at Salamis,

Mere Nick:  They aren't asked about the dozens and dozens [that's at least 48 false doctrines] of things that have been used as an excuse to split up congregations over the years or used as a basis of attack in various publications.  [Grace Centered Magazine comes to mind.]

ALL splits that we  are aware of were caused by those who IMPOSED something not necessary to conduct church as SCHOOL OF CHRIST (says Jesus and the Campbellls).  The east and west churches were split and remain split over the INTRODUCTION of singing hyms violating the direct command to SPEAK "that which written for our learning."

INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC WORSHIP SECTARIANS: first defined on clay tablets.

ALL of those churches who IMPOSED the ORGAN (only: we promise) told those who  objected included their old preacher J..W.Mcgarvey and ALL of the progressives who lie to and about God and His Word say literally "Get over it or get out." It is the fact of divisive FORUMS have more power and simply quoting the text and recorded history will get you BLACK LISTED. Been there, done that: anyone who wants a masculine approach might try Concerned Members which was launched when the first MUSICIANS invaded churches as soul snatchers defined by the Spirit OF Christ in Ezekiel 13 which always has female prophesiers (singers, instrumennt players) involved.

Mere Nick:
It seems a bait and switch of the vilest order to, once you get someone in, have a steady supply of other doctrinal matters to which they must ascribe in order to keep from getting tossed right back out.  Folks who do that will claim something like they are protecting the flock, merely preaching the truth in love, etc. 

BAIT is posting a FORUM for CHURCHES OF CHRIST and THEN casting out those who quote Scripture defining the Church of Christ (the Rock) from the wilderness onward: it always had a ONE PIECE PATTERN which never changed as TRUTH.  Everyone who has imposed instruments claim that "a" spirit told them to do it and they boast about taking about a decade of false teaching to in the words of the NACC transistion a congregation into the instrumental sect. The patten which outlaws INFILTRATORS is-was.

EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing or self-speak of anything but the WORD being PREACHED by being READ.
INCLUSIVE of Rest (from clergy), Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God
REST or SABBATH is for SKHOLE
REST as WORK outlaws "sending out ministers of God."

Mere Nick uses a broad brush loaded with red RACA content when he may know of one such instance.  Mere Nick (old?) doesn't know of anyone being TOSSED RIGHT BACK OUT because they do not ASCRIBE to a list of doctrines.  They will not be allowed to teach classes promoting "instrumental" idolatry because they simply have never read anything but that readily supplied by INSTRUMENTAL SECTARIANS.

In most literate churches if they teach that God is really THREE gods when John said that those:

Who deny the ONE GOD THE FATHER
And one Son MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ as the MAN
Have neither the Father (Deity) nor Son (Man) are defined as ANTICHRISTS.

They still would not be TOSSED RIGHT BACK OUT except in forums such as Grace-Centered Forums.

Mere Nick: The fact is they are just trying to protect their power by jerking folks around.  It appears better to be patient and gentle in instruction and help people see the truth for themselves in the scriptures since their faith should come from the word and not someone with a strong and/or overbearing personality.  We ought not dis folks for imbecility of the intellect.

That is normally the life-process UNTIL people boast about "infiltrating and diverting your property into a theater for holy entertainment."  Contradicting unity in diversity Paul demanded the WHOM are to be TOSSED OUT as Jesus tossed out the Nenia or musical worship team more or less violently.

A Cunning Craftsman is a SOPHIST: A sophist is a rhetorician, singer or instrument player.
Jesus said that God HIDES from the Sophists.
Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. In Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 Christ named popular speakers for hire, singers or instrument players.

-Panourg-κma  A. knavish trick, villainy, S.El.1387 (lyr.), LXX Si.1.6 (v.l.); sophistry, Gal.5.251; cf. panourgeuma.

Cunning craftiness has the same meaning as SOPHOS:
1Cor. 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
        seemeth to be wise [sophos] in this world,
        let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Cor. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
        For it is written,
        He taketh the wise  sophia
        in their own craftiness. pa^nourg-ia
1Cor. 3:20 And again,
        The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, sophōn
        that they are vain. matai-os

ALL instrumental events speak of those refusing to preach or listen to the word and always associated with BEING CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Johnb.   As one has already said even God and Christ was not always in agreement. The apostles did not always agree.  First century assemblies did church differently .

When Jesus said "My father and I are One" He meant that we speak in unity.

John 8:38 I SPEAK that which I have seen with my Father: and ye DO that which ye have seen with your father.
John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
        he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:
        whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 16:25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.

The Father and Son are also IN US and we are in them when we obey God's commandments.
Many churches were corrected and the ONLY once a week assembly was commanded to:
Silence self pleasure as Areskos or Pllaceo including all the performing and musical actors up.
The "use one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning.

After all to be a Christian one must be a Disciple and the RESOURCE is what Christ commanded to be taught and observed: a church is built upon or educted by the Prophets and Apostles.

The ONE PIECE PATTERN for the Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wilderness which never changed at any time was CLARIFIED after the Instrumental-Trinitarian Idolatry at Mount Sinai.

INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God only
EXCLUSIVE of Vocal or Instrumental Rejoicing or individual rhetoric or "preaching."

That One Piece Pattern was never violated in the Old or New Testament among the "family" or house exclusive of priests or Levites.  Rest as sabbath (never a day of worship) is for refreshing and SKHOLE was held in the isolated areas quarantined from the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites. The Greek word is PAUO which insists that the laded burden be STOPPED: rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or anything beyond being A School of Christ according to the Campbells where worship--as commanded by Jesus--be READING and MUSING the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle.

The Lord's Supper as a teaching activity does not add another piece to the pattern. Only those who have obeyed God's curse to worship the starry hosts with school abandoned and turned into a "worship center" do theologians (a study of Apollon-Abaddon) fight for turf and are forced, as were the northern carpetbaggers, to impose instrumental idolatry to keep from loosing their houses.  The day of REST is a respite FROM any and all clergy beyond teaching that which has been taught.

From the wilderness onward the Church of Christ (the Rock) DID church or ekklesia-synagogue by Resting, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God. Vocal or instrumental rejoicing or rhetoric was outlawed to catch the irreverent who could not give attention as the Word was PREACHED by being READ. That was the one-piece pattern the Campbells tried to restore.

Paul outlawed "unity in diversity" by declaring that APT elders eject the cunning craftsmen or sophists: speakers, singers or instrument players. The Purpose Driven common reason was/is THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

Since, then, our souls are by nature possessed of great fondness for learning and fondness for seeing, it is surely reasonable to chide those who abuse this fondness on objects all unworthy either of their eyes or ears, to the neglect of those which are good and serviceable.
        Our outward sense, since it apprehends the objects which encounter it by virtue of their mere impact upon it, must the exercise of his mind every man, if he pleases, has the natural power to turn himself away in every case, and to change, without the least difficulty, [3] to that object upon which he himself determines. It is meet, therefore, that he pursue what is best, to the end that he may not merely regard it, but also be edified by regarding it. 
        In other cases, admiration of the deed is not immediately accompanied
        by an impulse to do it.
        Nay, many times, on the contrary,
        while we delight in the work,
       we despise the workman, as, for instance, in the case of perfumes and dyes;
        we take a delight in them, but dyers and perfumers we regard as illiberal and vulgar folk.
[5] Therefore it was a fine saying of Antisthenes,
        when he heard that Ismenias was an excellent piper: ‘
        But he's a worthless man
        said he, ‘otherwise he wouldn't be so good a piper.’

And so Philip once said to his son, who, as the WINE went round,
        "plucked
[psallōn; ] the strings charmingly and skilfully, ‘
        Art not ashamed to pluck the strings so well?’
        It is enough,
                surely, if a king have leisure [skholazē] to hear others pluck [psallōn;] the strings,

Cunning craftiness has the same meaning as SOPHOS:
1Cor. 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
        seemeth to be wise [sophos] in this world,
        let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Cor. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
        For it is written,
        He taketh the wise  sophia

Theology is a word devoted almost totally to Apollo, Apollon or Abaddon. Believers attend the School of Christ and not worship services. 

Jesus in His roll as Holy (wholly) Spirit gave APT elders as the only pastor-teachers: if you have APT elders then you are a School of the Word: if not then you are a a religious but not Christian institution: His command was to teach and observe what He commanded. If you cannot figure that out you should sell dry land.

Paul outlawed self pleasure: Areskos or Placeo including all performing arts Jesus called hypocrites: speakers for hire (hirelings), singers or instrument players. They are the MARK of people who do not intend to speak "that which is written for our learning" and people who do not intend to obey the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle.

WHAT IS A HERETIC OR SECTARIAN? Doctors of the law, says Jesus "take away the key to knowledge" and "music means to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter." It certainly seems to work among the Latest Spawn of Doctors of the Law who lack reading ability and minimal ethics: selling learning at retail is corrupting the Word because God will not let His Word be sold: the same word defines prostitutes and fish mongers.

Who infiltrated and intends to lie, cheat and steal your property and flock? No one can find anything so vile and blasphemous in the historic church commanded not to engage in "vocal or instrumental rejoicing or self-speak" when the church (ekklesia) assembled (synagogued) to Rest (school), read and rehearse the Word of God. That is the ONE PIECE PATTERN because the Lord's Supper is a teaching activity which SHOULD cause men and women to sit down and be silent.

A SECTARIAN in a remote sense is one who has the power to choose what they will do and with whom they will do and what they will do. Christian liberty gives one the power to be a sectarian.

7.21.15    
Rubel Shelly Can Jesus Survive Religions failure
Religions ALWAYS fail but Jesus has nothing to do with RELIGION meaning superstitious observations administered by professional craftsmen: John calls the speakers, singers and instrument players SORCERERS to be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

Jesus established the SECT that is called the WAY: the Road is a very narrow pattern and the foolish cannot even stumble into it.  You cannot be a Christian without being SECTARIAN.

6.28.15    The National Association of Christian Churches.  Some facts musical idolaters cannot grasp. The NACC which began to begin in 1927 through 1971 are able to dupe people into UNITY by saying that Churches of Christ sected out of them in 1906 more than a decade before the NACC started the long path to secting out of the Disciples.  This claim is psychological violence which is used to dare people to question their false teachings about instruments fearing being called a SECTARIAN.  In fact Churches of Christ belong to the SECT that is called the WAY: it is narrow and only the Little Flock of lost spirits can hear the voice and find the strait gate.

There is no command, example or remote inference of God violating the REST He gave we laity by calling then to engage in group singing with or without instruments.

ALL religious music terms and names of instruments are derived from witchcraft or sorcery: all of those named in Revelation 18 are SORCERERS and WILL BE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OFFIRE.

DARE TO BE A SECTARIAN OR BURN: THE DESTINY OF ALL CRAFTSMEN, SINGERS AND INSTRUMENT PLAYERS CLAIMING TO BE INSPIRED: THE LYING WONDERS OF THOSE SELF-DECEIVED: GOD MADE THEM DO IT.

Musical instruments to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter" imposed intending to  sow massive discord is never the CAUSE of a fall from Grace.  In Revelation 18 the removal of all craftsmen (staff) including speakers, singers and instrument players be culled OUT of the kingdom and the removal of the lamps is God's way to MARK those strongly deluded.

The Graces or Muses were blue-eyed blond prostitute musical ministers of Apolllon or Abaddon. As the ANTITHESIS Jesus is the personification of God's Grace which teaches us to NOT follow the grace centered excuse for mortal sins.

Titus.Acts.Grace.gif

6.28.15    C. Leonard Allen and the Trinity  Modern polytheists (LU c. 1938) fits the K. C. Moser sudden realization that HE has a secret that no one knew before.  H.Leo.Boles and modern professors who defined Godhead as three equal but different "centers of consciousness" able to hold meetings and decide which "one" to send. It turns out that none of them understand that "godhead" means "the divine nature." We, too, can be filled with the Divine Nature by the Word, Logos or Regulative principle. Some facts

God is A SPIRIT without flesh and bones or other "members." It is pretty hard to split up A Spirit into three equal but different spirits. OF is a preposition and the Spirit OF Christ is the spirit, mind or mental disposition OF Christ.

Jesus Christ came in the FLESH and those who say that Jesus was god or a god deny that Christ (not a god word) came in the flesh.

Those who deny that Jesus came IN THE FLESH are identified as ANTICHRISTS.

Grace is not the blue-eyed blond musician-prostitute of the New Paradigm: Grace is a title of Christ who came to teach us to DENY what Grace-Centered teaches.

God is Holy or Wholly Spirit: SPIRIT is MIND made known by BREATH which IS Spirit because Jesus told us so.

John 4:24 God is a SPIRIT: and they that worship him must worship him
        IN spirit and in TRUTH.


Spirit is a PLACE as opposed to mountains or houses: giving attendance to the Spirit OF truth is the only worship concept from the wilderness until Jesus returns.

God is ONE Spirit or ONE Mind: it is ANTIGOD to claim that MIND must be split into three beings the antichrists call PERSONS meaning people.  This necessarily means that the invisible Spirit looks like a dark-skinned Semite probably shorter than me. HE is certainly less powerful than I if He requires the Spirit OF the SPIRIT to think for him.

Even after His resurrection Jesus of Nazareth was still IN THE FLESH.  The doubting disciples were afraid that Jesus WAS a Spirit

Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them,
        and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luke 24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted,
        and supposed that they had seen a SPIRIT.


God IS Spirit: those that say that Jesus WAS God dispute His clear distinction between he as FLESH and God as SPIRIT. They deny that Christ came in the FLESH as the fulfillment that He would be of the Seed of Abraham.

Psa. 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell;
        neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.


Acts 2:30 Therefore being a prophet,
.....and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him,
.....he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before
.....spake of the resurrection of Christ,
.....that his soul was not left in hell,
.....neither his FLESH did see corruption.
Acts 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up,
.....whereof we all are witnesses.


Prophecy is fulfilled and Christ came in the FLESH but the flesh did not rot.

Luke 24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled?
        and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet,
        that it is I myself: handle me, and see;
        for a spirit hath not FLESH and bones,
        as ye see ME have.
Luke 24:40 And when he had thus spoken,
        he shewed them his hands and his feet


Jesus says that He is NOT God nor a part of a god family.

Jesus of Nazareth was made to be both lord and Christ: He was not born with that power. Jesus did not exercise His LORDSHIP but His SERVANTHOOD or DEACONSHIP as the pattern. "Spirits" are equated especially to false prophets or teachers because their MIND has been twisted.

1John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that
        Jesus Christ is come in the FLESH
        is not of God:
and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST,
        whereof ye have heard that it should come;
        and even now already is it in the world.

John identified only God the Father and Jesus the Son. He identified the "another paraklete" or comforter as Jesus Christ the Righteous who is the guiding Spirit or Mind of His Church. He says that those who deny the Divine Father and Man Son are ANTICHRISTS.

It is not strange that those who dredge up the always-pagan trinity give THEMSELVES the power of "a" holy spirit. The personified spirit or spiritus is applied to the god Apollo, Abaddon or Apollon: He is the king of the Locust or muses John called sorcerers.
  1. God is SPIRIT without FLESH and Bones.
  2. Jesus denied that He was GOD because God does not have flesh and bones
  3. Those who say that Jesus WAS GOD contradict Him.
  4. Trinitarians are still worshiping the FAMILY OF GODS as Pagans.
  5. Anyone who DISPUTES the clear statement that Jesus said that He was the SON of God and say that He WAS GOD are enemies of the CROSS where the Jews using a pagan phallic symbol satisfied themselves that Jesus was NOT God but flesh and bones.
  6. Let Jesus and John identify the ANTICHRISTS.

Luke 18:19 And Jesus said unto him,
.....Why callest thou me good?
.....none is good, save ONE, that is, God.

 
Jesus said that He was not God nor a member of a god family.

When God sends He sends from Heaven. However, Jesus in the flesh was OF NAZARETH.

John 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that,
.....if thou wouldest believe,
.....thou shouldest see the glory of God?
John 17:3 And this is life eternal,
.....that they might know thee the ONLY TRUE GOD
.....AND Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

 5.28.15  Hoyt Roberson the Roles of Women

  1. Silence and rest FROM Priests and Levites who are excluded from all Spiritual Covenants seems to be a scholarly problem.  In ALL of the silencing passages BOTH men and women are to be silent and sedentary.
  2. The Men who pontificate are liable to bring on wrath or an ORGY: that gender bleed applied to all hypocritic arts and crafts.
  3. The women are to be silent because women have always claimed to hear from the gods beginning with Eve: Evah means an abomination of the first WORLD ORDER with the FIRST ADAM.
  4. Both are to be silent and hear the Word (only) PREACHED by being READ for comfort and doctrine. The Logos or Regulative Principle excludes personal comments because that makes them hire out as gods.
  5. "That All might be saved or SAFE and come to a knowledge of the Truth." That is the pattern ordained by Christ in the wilderness.
    The pretend women and rare exhibitionist male are silenced because.
1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the man Christ Jesus;
APT elders will silence the cunning craftsmen or sophists--speakers, singers, instrument players--because Christ told Paul that THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

1.13.15  Grace Conversation Com Ecumenical

Marks: Grace-Centered, Music, female dominance and Trinity are the marks of the Prophecy in Isaiah 3 and fulfillment in Revelation 17f of the rise of the feminists dominating the effeminate.  Karen Armstrong noted that the males in Amos were so effeminate that they could not dialog with God. The Greeks note that evil people set their lies to melodies to deceive the simple not able to read the original.  John says that the ministers of the "mother" (often male) are lusted after fruits affirming Christ in Amos 8. The are craftsmen, singers, instrument players and prostitutes marked by the piping noise of the millstone to locate the prostitute. Both Paul and the Classics mark the sophists or corrupters of the Word "selling learning at retail" as prostitutes. Contrary to unity in diversity the mark of a Christ APTED elder as the only pastor-teacher is that he will cast out the cunning craftsmen or sophists: speakers, singers or instrument players because THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
3.graces.gif
History begin with tripple goddesses which Moses repudiated with Adam as the source of Eve and continues with the three GRACES. They are Muses or Locusts and Abaddon-Apollon is the LEADER. Women leaders, music to replace the Word and the always-pagan trinity is a product of Feminists (effeminate) leadership. Christ laid out the pattern in Isaiah 3 and Jesus had John define the end-time NEW PARADIGM in Revelation 17f.

Grace as pagan THESIS speaks of ANTI-logos or the regulative principle, myths or sermons, an erotic and homosexual experience, gratification, delight, femal cklergy, homage due to the daimonons including KAIROS as the demon son of Zeus whose TIME for assault has come and been confessed. ANTITHESIS: Grace is personified as Jesus Who SUFFERS and dies to save or make believers SAFE from the Pagan Grace worship led by females.

Titus 2:10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity;
        that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Titus 2:11  For the GRACE of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

Rather than the musical harlots personifying pagan grace, God sent Jesus to DENY the well-documented pagan worship centers.

Titus 2:12 TEACHING us that, denying ungodliness and WORLDY lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present WORLD;
Heb. 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death,
        crowned with glory and honour;
        that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

That's not the mark of the grace sold by most preachers OF the WORLD for which Jesus does not pray.

We are saved by grace through faith. But, from WHAT are we saved never asked by people who trust grace to let them lie about Scripture.

Carroll D. Osburn: "There is major disagreement on whether one should use the Bible to undergird doctrines in a "proof-texting way, or whether one should allow doctrine to emerge from understanding texts in their literary and historical contexts. Certainly these differing views of Scripture lie behind differing views of women in the church" (p. 90).

"The Bible is not so much a 'heaven-sent answer book' as a historical book produced within and for a historical community-- yet it serves as Scripture today because people find themselves accountable to it. That is what make its Scripture" (WOMEN IN THE CHURCH: Reclaiming the Ideal, p. 46).

GODESS THEOLOGY: Spiritual Formation, Lectio-Divina

Feminist theology and missional church: An exploration into the doctrine of the Trinity and its understanding in four denominational systems, discussing Abilene Christian University. by Stache, Kristine M., Ph.D., LUTHER SEMINARY, 2008, 196 pages; 3360826

In addition, a new way of understanding the Triune God as a social reality and in relationship with humanity is introduced through the hermeneutic of feminist theology. Specifically, how can the experience of women help one better understand the kingdom of God present today and coming at us from the future? What does it mean to become part of God's new creation by participating in the life of God? Implications for understanding God in light of this hermeneutic are presented for furthering the missional church conversation.

FROM ACU AGENDA:   Carroll D. Osburn: Trainers use Prophetic roles to Channel and Facilitate the method of subverting the 'hierarchial" views of Jesus and Paul. the end-time subversion is the beginninng-time version which is "Feminist hermeneutics stands over against patriarchal hermeneutics" its goal achieved "by small, often unnoticed acts of SUBVERSION. Numerous such incremental changes, like EROSION, will eventually bring down the FORTRESS " (IN THE CHURCH: Reclaiming the Ideal p. 32).

MALE DOMINANCE AKA ALPHA MALE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN TRIBALISM proof-texts to fool the foolish.

Males claiming to USE the extremely rare female lusting to be seen and heard still claim the AUTHORITY to USE women for the worship-service-orge.  They refuse to release that which is OUTLAWED for men and again is the mark of an extremely rare male lusting to "perform" and be seen and heard.  We have never known a male who had a zeal to pass the plate or read not seeing godliness as occupation.

The men were to turn up holy palms (as in reading) instead of waving unholy arms to prevent the outbreak of wrath which means and ORGY meaning any of the religious acts Paul defines as lying wonders.

The women were to keep silent and sedentary because for every 10,000 witches (spiritual formation, lectio-divina) there is only one warlock: women are not men with long hair.  They have become SIMONITES because they have spent enough money to retire on procuring the power of A SPIRIT.  The only personified spiritus is Abaddon, Apollon, Hermes-Mercury or KAIROS as the demon spirit son of Zeus.  Preachers often fondle  Jesus as Je-Zeus or 'Hail Zeus." Apollyon's Muses or Locusts are called sorcereresses (Revelation 18) and they will be cast alive into the lake of fire.

They are therefore to be sillenced because there is only ONE GOD THE FATHER (feminists deny) and ONE Mediator between God and man, the MAN Jesus Christ.  Christ HAS spoken in the prophets and apostles.

If BOTH Alpha Males and a few USED females are quiet and sedentary then "Everyone can be saved or SAFE and come to a knowledge of the Truth."  That is the PATTERN.  Grace saves or makes us SAFE from all of the Grace sectarians.

The Word or Logos is THE truth and if you do not speak the LOGOS THERE IS NO LIGHT IN YOU.
No one is to PAY for the Free Water of the Word: that is a GUARANTEE to mark those who speak on their own.
A Christ assembly (synagogue) does not seek its own pleasure (that Grace thingy) or speak their own words.

The familiar spirit is a dry, empty wineskin. It serves as the echo chamber of the nebel which means 'VILE.' It has the same meaning as the harp and the sounding gongs in 1 Cor. 13.

"In Isa 8:19 the 'obhoth and yidh'onim are spoken of those who 'chirp and mutter." These terms refer to the necromancers themselves who practiced ventriloquism in connection with their magical rites. In Isa 29:4 it is said 'Thy voice shall be as an 'obh, out of the ground.'... They are stamped in these passages, as in the Witch of Endor narrative, as deceivers practising a fraudulent art. By implication their power to evoke spirits with whom they were in familiar intercourse is denied." (Int Std Bible Ency., ency, p. 690)

Fad words such as Grace-Centered by its teachings seems to claim that freedom IN Christ is freedom FROM any of the Biblical and historical doctrine written as the only learning resource for a Christian who is a student of the Words of Christ in the prophets and apostles.  The Word or LOGOS absolutely outlaws sermons, songs, playing instruments, acting, dancing or anything which imposes itself usually for sale between the only Teacher and His disciples who have been 'washed with water into the Word' or into the school of Jesus Christ.

Fads usually express the ill will of men who have tried to manipulate congregations with false teachings and discover that the universities making PASTORS were wrong: the elders can fire them and shoud have never hired them if they were APT.  Nothing in Scripture or true history will or can change people who despise the Word as it was written for our learning: Learning once a week is the only free piece of the PATTERN defined from the wilderness onward. 

I am hurt but Jesus doesn't pray for the world (whatever you can see, hear, feel or smell as "worship")  and God HIDES from the wise or SOPHISTS: speakers for hire, singers or instrument players sold as "worship".

Lying Wonders includes any and all of the performances in additon to PREACHING the Word by READING the Word for doctrine and comfort. After mutually confessing THE Word or Logos both male and female return home and speak and meditate on the word. Delusioned people can never grasp that the command to SPEAK is the opposite and exclusion of ODE or audible PSALLO.

A Christian is a Disciple of Christ: a disciple is a student and learns as the only meaning of WORSHIP directly commanded when the church or ekklesia is free all week but by direct command assembles ONE TIME EACH WEEK.  That assembly is called a synagogue. That is whey theology (devoted to Apolloyn) does not know or will not tell that the one piece pattern was for a single elder to PREACH the Word (only) by READING the Word. Godly women like the mother and grandmother did not attend the synagogue devoted to the Prophets and lust to PREACH: they could memorize or get a written copy of that portion of Scripture (a pericope), return home and SPEAK and MEDITATE so that Timothy--contrary to your children--was wise unto SALVATION.  Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites defined as speaking for hire, singers, instrument players and passing the plate do not want you to read the text.

She who casts excellence and joys into men is the daughter of Forethought, Reverence

See how the symposium was often a wine festival of males where the flute-girls were always prostitutes and the male musicians were Sodomites. Paul told the elders to NOT GO NEAR WINE which spoke of these gatherings even when the wine was heavily watered so you didn't have to turn around and puke too often.

"The cinaedi was a group of men--apparently, a large group--that during the early Roman Empire adopted a "lifestyle" characterized by flamboyant and often effeminate dress, make-up, hairdos, and other affectations. Surviving literary sources describe them, almost always in vitriolic terms,

mainly as gender transgressors who foreswore the ordinary conduct expected of males.

Interestingly, the ancient authors are far less concerned with the cinaedi's actual homosexual practices than with the clothing and make-up.

Frier's most immediate interest is in how the external style of the cinaedi was related to the group's self-definition and to the perception of others. Bruce Frier, professor, classical studies and law "Style and Remembrance: The Golden Age of the Roman Cinaedi"

It is a fact that all musical performers were cross-dressers. Paul warns against the conscision or emasculated priests being allowed in the assembly in Philippians 3.  In Galatians 5 he connects this to witchcraft and music.

Cybele and Her Gallae common were transsexual and intersexual priestesses in the ancient world?  Almost every form of the Goddess was associated with them.  Inanna, also called Ishtar, had Her Assinnu.  The Assinnu were the hierodule priestesses of Inanna whose change was performed by  crushing the testicles between two rocks in the earliest references.  Inanna also had transgendered priests who did not do this and who wore clothing that was female on one side and male on the other called the Kurgarru.  They were two distinct groups.  Becoming an Assinnu was a mes, a call from the Goddess. ... As ritual artists they played the lyre, cymbals, 2 string lutes and flutes and composed hymns and lamentations all in Emesal, the women's language, said to be a direct gift of Inanna, as opposed to the common language of men, Eme-ku. In Canaan we find the Goddess as Athirat also called Asherah or Astarte and Her hierodule transsexual priestesses, the Qedshtu.  It should be noted that just as Gallae is changed into Gallus denying the very gender of these priestesses and erasing the truth of their lives, the bible refers to them as Qedeshim (masculine).. Almost all of the various levitian laws came from this period as an attempt to kept the Israelites from worshiping Asherah.  Outlawed was the "wearing of cloth made from mixed fibres", banned from the presence of Yahweh were the eunuchs who "had crushed their testicles between stones", outlawed was the wearing of clothing of the opposite sex.  Israelite men were given permission, even directed, to kill their own wives and children if they did not follow their teachings.

"The three graces, all sisters, are the daughters of Zeus and Euryeome or Hera. (Zeus, as you'll recall, had a serious problem keeping it under his toga.) As the attendent goddesses to Aphrodite — the goddess of love — the three were all that is grace and beauty personified. Each represents a different facet of the goddess: Aglaca, splendor; Euphrosyne, joyfulness; and Thalia, abundance

They are also MUSES or LOCUSTS as the musical worship team over which Abaddon or Apollyon presided. You can gather all of the theology you wish but theology applies specificially to Apollon.  The end time priests of the Mother Goddess (Revelation) 17 have fallen into the always-pagan trinity or tritheism.  It always consists of the father, mother (spirit, dove, inseminater) and infant son bent on sodomizing his enemies to prove his superiority.  Jesus said that ALL of the authority of this father, spirit (mother), son polytheism was made visible and audible as the one man Jesus of Nazareth.




SCRIPTURE SPEAKS IN ANTITHESIS. Jesus is sent as the personified GRACE of God which condemnes grace which says "we gonna sin but Grace gonna cover us."  Not so.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
        and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

THEOLOGY NEVER LETS YOU ASK "SAVED FROM WHAT?"

Titus 2:11 For the [1] grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
[4] we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

THE GRACE CULT INCLUDES THE ALWAYS-PAGAN TRINITIES TO GET THE MOTHER OF THE GODS.

Scripture
teaches that there is ONE GOD THE FATHER and Jesus whom God MADE TO BE both LORD and Christ.  John says that if you deny the one diety actor and the one MAN actor you are ANTI-Christ. Stone-Campbell Movement refutes both leaders who denied that there are Three Gods of the neo trinity never taught by the historic scholars.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God [Theos] hath made that same Jesus,
        whom ye have crucified, both Lord [Kurios] and Christ.

C. Leonard Alllen Trinitiarian Theology and Spiritual life.

Contrary to the "trinity" defined by the first to use 'trias" it is easy for theologians to grasp the proof texts without reading them.  A trinity of three persons demands a father, mother and infant but helpless infant always worshipped in a manger.  The mother (Eve, mediatrix) was the pagan view Paul refuted when he silenced both men and women 'so that we might be saved or safe and come to a knowledge of the truth."

A dissertation connects the Lutherans to ACU saying: "In addition, a new way of understanding the Triune God as a social reality and in relationship with humanity is introduced through the hermeneutic of feminist theology."

FROM ACU AGENDA:   Carroll D. Osburn: Trainers use Prophetic roles to Channel and Facilitate the method of subverting the 'hierarchial" views of Jesus and Paul. the end-time subversion is the beginninng-time version which is "Feminist hermeneutics stands over against patriarchal hermeneutics" its goal achieved "by small, often unnoticed acts of SUBVERSION. Numerous such incremental changes, like EROSION, will eventually bring down the FORTRESS " (IN THE CHURCH: Reclaiming the Ideal p. 32).

H.9.hermes-bio-3 and HERMES TRISMEGISTUS (Hermēs and Hermēs Trismegistos), the reputed author of a variety of works, some of which are still extant. Thus the Greek Hermes was identified with the Egyptian Thot, or Theut, as early as the time of Plato. (Phileb. § 23; comp. Cic. de Nat. Deor. 3.22.)....Attempts were then made to represent the WISDOM of the ancient Egyptians in a higher and more spiritual light, to amalgamate it with the ideas of the Greeks, and thereby to give to the latter a deep religious meaning, which made them appear as a very ancient divine revelation, and as a suitable counterpoise to the Christian religion.

THEOLOGY OF THE ANGEL OF THE MOTHER GODDESS. First, hints Paul, she will have to force you to emasculate yourself to be able to serve as a priest-priestess:  Revelation 17 defines the unleashing of the Beginning time mother who uses the effeminate as preachers, singers, instrument players and theai numphai” .  John leaves this as a MARK of those who will be (are) cast alive into the lake of fire.

Prophecy works; the Muses and
Graces
were the prostitute musicians as the worship team of Abaddon or Apollyon.

Posted below we will hear from feminists theologians at once-Christian universities.  Feminists theology (a bad term in history) demands a REvisionising of the historic "economical" trinity as opposed to the pagan view of a father, mother (spirit, inseminator, dove) and infant son.  Wisdom is Solomon's view of a female Logos or regulating principle. Scripture says:

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God [Theos] hath made that same Jesus,
        whom ye have crucified, both Lord [Kurios] and Christ.
Gal. 3:20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is ONE.
1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God
[Theos]
         one mediator also between God and men,
         himself MAN, Christ Jesus,

Jesus said that He was the visible-audible image God presented to refute the neo- pagan trinity. 

John said that if you deny that you are an ANTI-Christ.  Feminists theologians worship Sophia (feminists-gender confused) as opposed to Logos the masculine Regulating Principle; the rational and spiritual. That is why you should worry when feminists prepare the Sophia Supper.

Plat. Rep. 394c 1 The dithyramb was technically a poem in honor of Bacchus. For its more or less conjectural history cf. Pickard-Cambridge, Dithyramb, Tragedy, and Comedy. Here, however, it is used broadly to designate the type of elaborate Greek lyric which like the odes of Pindar and Bacchylides narrates a myth or legend with little if any dialogue.

Aristot. Poet. 1449b Tragedy is, then, a representation of an action6 that is heroic and complete and of a certain magnitude—by means of language enriched with all kinds of ornament, each used separately in the different parts of the play: it represents men in action and does not use narrative, and through pity and fear it effects relief to these and similar emotions.7 By "language enriched" I mean that which has rhythm and tune, i.e., song, and by "the kinds separately" I mean that some effects are produced by verse alone and some again by song. Since the representation is performed by living persons, it follows at once that one essential part of a tragedy is the spectacular effect, and, besides that, song-making and diction.

For real wisdom shows herself in some such way as this to him who has got even a little share of right and divine meditation. And now there remain three stars, of which one is distinguished from the others by its slowness, and some speak of it under the title of Saturn; the next after it in slowness is to be cited as Jupiter; and the next after this, as Mars, which has the ruddiest hue of all. Nothing in all this is hard to understand

The Spirit of Christ called Lucifer "the singing and harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden.

  2. And from Genesis to Revelation musical machines are said to have been brought by Lucifer (ZOE) into the garden of Eden and resulted in some sexual hanky panky to REVELATION when the Babylon mother of harlot rises again and ALL of her religious STAFF are called sorcerers and will be cast alive into the Lake of Fire.
  3. Then Christ in Jeremiah 23 says that you despise the Word and the Latin word is BLASPHEME

THIS PAPER WILL HELP YOU FLEE BABYLON whose Mother of Harlots (Revelation 17) uses "lusted after fruits" (Same as in Isaiah 8) as self-speakers, singers, instrument players and ALL religious craftsmen who were called PARASITES.

7.01.13
Gender Inclusive and Egalitarian  Churches of Christ:
Gender-focused churches are not related to the Apostolic teaching nor to the historic Church of Christ. To say that Scripture from Genesis to Revelation and the danger of Mother Goddess worship has always and has now NEUTERED many churches of Christ so that their performance preaching and music calls forth a lot of ridicule.  They have to say that all of the Scriptures lie and simply did not understand OUR CULTURE.  At the same time they twist the Scriptures to say that what Paul outlawed did not prevent what THEY want to impose. This normally happens after a senior preacher has usurped all authority, intimidated the elders, fired the vocational ministers and HIRED female ministers.  Christ in Isaiah 3 defined this time perfectly where the women and BOYS or the effeminate (or worse) rule over you. Men have already violated the direct command to PREACH the Word by READING the Word for Comfort and Doctrine.

Revised 5.25.13
There can be no GRACE for people who refuse to read the Word: the mark of strong delusions is that they CANNOT. The mark IS turning the School of Christ into a "theater for holy entertainment." Proof is that they intentionally "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter." They cannot know that they are violating direct commands for the Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wilderness and would and will musically mock Jesus when His job is to be the only Teacher when the elders teach that which has been taught."
The NACC (not representing the people) has seduced a few silly people who are sought out because they  perform "strong delusions" to make people laught when they assemble CLAIMING that they represent Jesus Christ.  See how Jeff Walling transistion HIS church after being TRANSISTIONED by the NACC.  A few bloggers and bloggets enjoy joining in the mocking..

The congregation of the people was defined in Exodus 18 for groups as small as then families led by a mercinary teacher and guide.  After the fall into the musical idolatry of the always-pagan trinity (Osiris, Isis, Horus: always father, mother (spirit) and infant son), the tribe of Levi was abandoned to the worship of the starry host: the godly people attended Qahal, synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ (the Rock etc) in the wilderness.  The Text, the definition of the assembly Edersheim and Calvin affirm that these assemblies were called on the REST day by a trumpet (church bell) but excluded vocal or instrumental rejoicing or self-speak.

Numbers 10:7 But when the congregation is to be gathered together,  [h6950 Qahal is still used for the synagogue]
        ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

H7321 rϋaroo-ah' A primitive root; to mar (especially by breaking); figuratively to split the ears (with sound), that is, shout (for alarm or joy):—blow an alarm, cry (alarm, aloud, out), destroy, make a joyful noise, smart, shout (for joy), sound an alarm, triumph
Then and now the ONLY reason for calling the assembly was/is to hear the Word (only) PREACHED by being READ for comfort and doctrine.  The Lucifer-Principal (the Halal, Chalal) intends to replace and silence and therefore ALARM or TRIUMPH OVER the Words of Christ. There is nothing in the Greek, Hebrew or Latin which PERMITS any speaker, singer or instrument player to perform or ADD by pretending to be a mediator in song and sermon.  God ordained TWO SILVER TRUMPETS to send signals but not when HE sent His Word through Moses, Aaron and the small group leaders:

Everyone was smart enough to catch on to DIRECT COMMANDS:
Acts 15:21 For Moses
        of old time hath
        in every city them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.

Even Jesus understood that!
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:
        and, as his custom was,
        he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
        and stood up for to read.
And He had the uncommon decency:
Luke 4:20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.
        And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

5.13.13
In the Book of Enoch referenced by Jude those for whom God will come in horrible judgement are specificially those who CAN BE seduced by mixed-sex choirs, musical instruments, drama, 'wearing of apparel' as seductive clergy garb (worn by the Levites). The holy Sethites who ignored the teaching fell into this musical idolatry, changed their minds but could never get back up. Knowing they were doomed they sought comfort by seducing as many other people as possible. From Hitler and beyond the MARK of success is how many people you can entice to accompany them in BOWING while the PIPERS pipe: Jesus called them "children" which was a dirty word.

The prophecy in Revelation is that again Satan will be loosed and knowing that he has a short time will work really hard to seduce as many as possible before Lake of Fire time. IF POSSIBLE the ELECT (those added by Christ to His church) will be deceived: those who ARE deceived are simply not recognized by Jesus.

MOST of the mildy-musical religions are said to have fallen into a "rock and roll" style which is that Black influence of the "F" word. Among recognized groups a few Churches of Christ have not already fallen into INSTRUMENTAL "worship" or its VIRTUAL-INSTRUMENTAL with a cappella which in its origin are the castrated praise singers working for the MOTHER church.

2 Thessalonians those who are warned not to be moved are tempted by:

1. Purpose Driven or deliberate deceivers.
2. Something unknown: a piece of ignorance. Epithet for those who are predestinated who HAD deceived the whole world.
3. Members is defined as "A Member of the Church of Christ."
4. The METHOD of deception is musical melody.

I didn't make this up! That is why they are in the Davidic MAKING WAR mode and will not or cannot hear what you say. That's fine: seems the WORLD and the WISE (Sophists speakers, singers, instrument players) are marked as NOT supposing to hear (Matthew 23). Since the BEAST is clearly defined as "A new style of singing or drama" the MARK will be anyone who can be seduced. It's all in the book.

2Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren,

        and by our gathering together unto him,

Wiley
Clarkson ACU and Gender Discord
  Wiley reports on the ACU gradual promoting of females as ministers.  He follows Ken Cukrowshki who does not attempt to explain away the clear teachings of Paul. By scrambling Scriptures he attempts to disarm Paul and thereby disarm Jesus as Holy Spirit Who claimed to guide him into all truth. Paul knew all about Eve which the THEOLOGIANS cannot ever know.

Ken does not quote any Scripture and the passages which he refrerences show WHY neither females or wannabe males are permitted to speak when Jesus comes to teach.

Pl. St. 5.4 SAGARINUS
PARASITE REBUFFED

SAGARINUS Over Bacchus, most distinctly. But, in the meantime, general of ours, why stands this goblet here? See how many cups8 we have drunk.

STICHUS As many as there are fingers on your hand. The Greek song is, "Drink either your five cups9 or your three, but not your four."

You say right; I care for no dainties. Drink away, Piper13; drink, if you do drink. I' faith, this must be drunk--don't shirk it. Holds the goblet to the PIPER. Why flinch at what you see must be done by you? Why don't you drink? Do it, if you are to do it. Take it, I tell you, for the public pays for this. That's not your way to shirk your drink. Take your pipes14 out of your mouth. The PIPER drinks.

SAGARINUS
to the PIPER . How now? Although you did make a fuss about it, still it didn't hurt you. Come, Piper, when you've done drinking, put back your pipes to your lips; quickly puff out your cheeks, just like a reptile serpent18. Come now, Stichus, whichever of the two breaks order, shall be fined a cup.
14 Take your pipes: The "Tibicines," "Pipers" or "flute-players," among the Greeks and Romans, were in the habit of playing upon two pipes at the same time. These were perfectly distinct, and were not even, as has been supposed by some, connected by a common mouth-piece. The Romans were particularly fond of this music, and it was introduced both at sacrifices, funerals, and entertainments. See a comical story about the Roman "Tibicines" in the Fasti of Ovid, B. 6, l. 670 et seq. From the present specimen they appear to have been merry souls, occupying much the same place as the country fiddlers of modern times.

EPHESIANS 2 SALVATION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith;
        and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Titus 2:11 For the [1] grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Titus 2:12
[2] Teaching us that,
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
[3] denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
[4] we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Titus 2:14
[5] Who gave himself for us,
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them Repent,
[6] that he might redeem us from all iniquity, [Lawlesness]
      Lutron redeem, Luo lavo , cleanse or wash, bathe,
      lave. 
louτpurify, tina ek tτn hamartiτn  
Col. 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins,  
Redemption or Remission happens ONLY after BAPTISM
even the forgiveness of sins:
        [7] and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
                zealous of good works.
and ye shall receive the gift of A holy spirit

THIS LEVEL OF SALVATION IS "FROM THAT CROOKED RACE" OF VIPERS.
They WANT to be baptized with WIND (spirit) and FIRE because they are denied water baptism by John.

Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world,
        according to the prince of the power of the air,

3. mouthpiece of the aulos

This Judas bag is from the Greek:

Glosokomon (g1101) gloce-sok'-om-on; from 1100 (speaking in tongues) and the base of 2889; prop. a case to keep mouthpieces of wind-instruments in, i.e. (by extens.) a casket or (spec.) purse: - bag.

It is made up of two words:

1. Glossa (from Strong's g1100) means "speaking in tongues" especially an unacquired one.

2. Kosmos (g2889) means the "orderly arrangement" or the "adorning" world. this is derived from (g2864 or Komizo which means "to carry off."

Kosmos
(g2889) kos'-mos; prob. from the base of 2865; orderly arrangement, i.e. decoration; by impl. the world (in a wide or narrow sense, includ. its inhab., lit. or fig. [mor.]): - adorning, world.

 WHAT PAUL SILENCED IN ROMANS 14

Now Iamblichus (De Mysteries, III.ix) goes into the matter of the so-called Corybantic and Bacchic 'frenzies' produced by musical instruments in the Mysteries of Ceres and Bacchus; and in his Life of Pythagoras (xxv) he, further, tells us that:

"Farther still, the whole Pythagoric school produced by certain appropriate songs, what they called exartysis, or adaptation; synarmoge, or elegance of manners; and epaphe, or contact, usefully conducting the dispositions of the soul to passions contrary to those which it before possessed.

"The Orphic creeds were the basis of the Pythagorean brotherhood, which flourished in southern Italy beginning in the 6th century BC. The Pythagoreans were aristocratic fraternities that sometimes had a political scope. Their main achievements, however, lay in the fields of music, geometry, and astronomy. They discovered that these subjects could be explained by numbers and ratios. Combining Orphic eschatology (the study of the last things, especially death and afterlife) with their discoveries,

they invested music, geometry, and astronomy with religious values.

According to their doctrine, the original home of the soul was in the stars. From there it fell down to earth and associated with the body.

Thus, man was a stranger on the earth, and he had to strive to liberate himself from the ties of the flesh and return to the soul's celestial home.

"Yet, through all there was an overarching harmony. The Greek word cosmos which we translate by universe originally meant beauty and harmony.

The Pythagoreans discovered mathematical formulae for the musical harmonies. They believed in the harmony of the sounds produced by the movement of the stars.

Therefore, they spoke of cosmic harmony of the spheres, each of which has a different sound, but all together creating a harmonious sound. If you delete the half-poetic, mythological elements from such ideas, then you can say that they had a universal, ecstatic interpretation of reality." (Tillich, Paul, A History of Christian Thought, Touchstone, p. 333).

Kosmocrator (g2888) kos-mok-rat'-ore; from 2889 and 2902; a world-ruler, an epithet of Satan: - ruler.

Kraeteo (g2902) krat-eh'-o; from 2904; to use strength, i.e. seize or retain (lit. or fig.): - hold (by, fast), keep, lay hand (hold) on, obtain, retain, take (by).

Rulers of the darkness of this world (Gk: Kosmokrator 2888) meaning "holders of this world, or Lord of the world. This is used of Satan and his angels (John 12:31; 2 Corinthians 4:4).

THE PAGAN GRACES AND MUSES AS THE MARK OF PAGANISM: NEVER MALE. IF YOU WORSHIP THE PAGAN THESIS OF GRACE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN SAVED BY GRACE (JESUS) THROUGH FAITH (OBEDIENCE)




9.26.12
The Spirit OF Christ prophesied who will not be in His House.  Christ spoke ONLY through the writing prophets: Jesus made these prophecies more certain. The Apostles were eye- and ear-witnesses and left us a "memory" to mark and avoid those tho do not "use one mind and one mouth" to "teach that which is written for our learning."  The Church of Christ (the Rock) outlawed vocal or instrumental rejoicing or elevated forms of speech.

10.02.12 Who will NOT be in my Father's House: Discuss

Consistent with recorded history these are left as MARKS to identify the fall:

For, behold, the Lord, Yahweh of Hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, The whole supply of bread, And the whole supply of water; [2]  The mighty man, The man of war, The judge, The prophet, The diviner, The elder, [3]  The captain of fifty, The honorable man, The counselor, The skilled craftsman, And the clever enchanter. [4]  I will give boys to be their princes, And children shall rule over them

Chrysostom's Commentary on Galatians:

Galatians 5:1.-"With freedom did Christ set us free; stand fast therefore.115 ."

"I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off." And he says well "that unsettle you." "A man that is heretical after the first and second admonition refuse." (Tit. iii: 10) If they will, let them not only be circumcised, but mutilated.

Where then are those who dare to mutilate themselves; seeing that they draw down the Apostolic curse, and accuse the workmanship of God, and take part with the Manichees? ... But if you will not allow this, why do you not mutilate the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the whole body?

For the ear enchanted by the sound of a flute hath often enervated the soul; and the perception of a sweet perfume by the nostrils hath bewitched the mind, and made it frantic for pleasure.

Yet this would be extreme wickedness and satanic madness. The evil spirit, ever delighting in slaughter, hath seduced them to crush the instrument, [a cappella singers] as if its Maker had erred, whereas it was only necessary to correct the unruly passion of the soul.

How then does it happen, one may say, that when the body is pampered, lust is inflamed?

Observe here too that it is the sin of the soul, for to pamper the flesh is not an act of the flesh but of the soul, for if the soul choose to mortify it, it would possess absolute power over it.

9.20.14
Who will NOT be in My Father's House

The Levites were not musicians: they were soothsayers who made instrumental noise: God had commanded them to stand in ranks and execute anyone not of the Jacob-cursed tribe of Levi, OR any Levite who came NEAR or into any holy thing or place. This was a prophetic type.

"The term 'ca-na-na-um' was used by the inhabitants as early as 3500 BC (Aubet). The Hebrew "cana'ani" meant merchant, but the original meaning may have come from Akkadian kinahhu - red-colored wool, which may have in turn given their descendents the name Phoenician.

Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the Lord of hosts. Zec.14:21

Kenaan (g3667) ken-ah'-an; from 3665; humiliated; Kenaan, a son of Ham; also the country inhabited by him: - Canaan, merchant, traffick.

Central to the Semitic notion of deity is El, the old fatherly creator god and his consort, Athirat or Asherah. "Both were primordial beings, they had been there always." El, whose name simply meant 'god' was the creator and procreator, overseer of conception, who sired the gods, thus being also called 'Bull El' in continuity with the ancient bull god of fertility. Asherah and El thus form a creation hieros-gamos of male and female, representing the bull and the earth goddess we see emerging from the ancient continuum at Catal Huyuk. El is supposed to have gone out to sea and asked two Goddesses, one presumably being Athirat and the other possibly Anath to choose between being his spouses and being his daughters.

They chose the former. Their offspring are Shaher and Shalem, the morning and evening stars, from which Lucifer, the light-bearer, takes his name.

Defining events identical to the the Feast of Tabernacles as a giant fertility ritual to which Jesus refused to go unto the display of hypocratic performances were finished. Then, He knew that the Jewish Clergy would be seeking him to murder Him.
You might hear many poor wretches of sophists, shouting and abusing each other,
        and their disciples, as they call them, squabbling;

        and many writers of books reading their stupid compositions,

        and many jugglers (buffoons) exhibiting their marvels,
        and many soothsayers giving the meaning of prodigies,
        and then a thousand rhetoricians twisting lawsuits,
        and no small number of traders driving their several trades.

I am also skipping some of the MARKS of the musical prophesiers. I am reading a book which spells out the universal mark of MUSIC and the EFFEMINATE in the ancient world and now. Readers will be interested.

This explains why people FLEE from Babylon and heaping on more performance will make things worse.


[linked image][linked image]

Quoting Greek and Latin scholars who would have understood why SPEAK is so important as the ANTITHESIS to the marks of perversion in musical, rhetorical and theatrical performance. That's why so many people FLEE when they see the exhibition of performance in rhetoric or music.
We shut ourselves up and write something grand--sometimes in verse, sometimes in prose--something that will take a vast amount of breath to pant out. This stuff you will some day read aloud to the public, combed, with a new toga, all in white, even with a birthday sardonyx gem on your finger; you shall read from a high chair having first lubricated your throat with a delicate wash, with an effeminate leer in your eye.

Bramble's fine analysis of the sexual and homosexual overtones in this passage does not require amplification.

48 For the purposes of this discussion, I will only elaborate on the features that link Persius' epic recital
to other genres of public performance: the theatrical performance and declamation.
The recitatio in this passage is clearly a public event, bordering on prostitution. The high chair evokes associations with Juvenal's Satire 3.135, where a prostitute displays her goods in public.

49 The audience does not consist of the select few, but of the common public (populo). The voice betrays features of effeminacy similar to those of actors, who were also often represented as effeminate.

50 Signs of effeminacy appear in the preliminary vocal modulation of the recitator (liquido cum plasmate guttur mobile conlueris) and in his entire comportment and body language (patranti fractus ocello).
Persius continues with the audience and the emasculating effect of the public performance
on those who passively submit to the allurements of the recitator's virtuoso voice.

The sweet voice is an agent of titillation, arousing the audience, evoking images of sexual gratification:

(Sat. 1.20--21) Then, as the poems enter the loins and when the intimate parts are tickled by the thrilling verse, you might see huge Tituses quiver in no seemly fashion and in no tranquil voice.

Wyke cites these lines at the close of her discussion of the performative aspects of the elegiac genre and suggests that Persius' First Satire is a productive ground for examining how the recitation of poetry sheds light on the construction of gender in ancient Rome.

51 Indeed, this entire section of Persius' satire represents the recital as partaking in the infamous association of performance and effeminacy.

It partakes in the deconstruction of traditionally held values of male excellence. Persius manipulates terms used also in Seneca the Elder's moralizing discourse in regard to the decline and emasculation of declamation as practiced in the rhetorical schools.

Seneca's invective against the deterioration of the morals of young orators includes many of the components that we have observed in Persius' satire in regard to poetic performance.
9.11.12 Marks of Antichrist
Too bad: Quoting Scripture is too hard: Grace-Centered defends people who claim to speak in tongues, people who make a living mocking those who WILL NOT be seduced into the folly of "Lucifer the singing and harp playing prostitute in the garden of Eden," repudiate the prophecy by the Spirit OF Christ and the direct command of Jesus about baptism, and mock the idea that they are bound by the direct commands of God in Christ. We should note that ALL of the pagan triads are repudiated as Jesus of Nazareth fills ALL of the pagan families of gods. Grace is another word for Messiah:




The Graces and Muses performed as sorcerers or rhetoricians, singers and instrument players (Revelation 17-18). The Effeminate mark seems to be the pattern. The Spirit OF Christ noted that the marks in sight and sound are the wind, string and percussion instruments that Lucifer--the singing and harp playing prostitute--brought into the garden of Eden when God cast him-her out AS PROFANE (that halal thingy). See Isaiah 30.

Musical Worship Teams - Effeminate Worship 1

A Preacher who thinks God's Grace is going to protect him from a Motorcycle Disaster--now that his kids are not around quoted 1 Peter 5:7. As he promotes instrumental music and the Purpose Driven Cult he (naturally) refused to listen to the real Peter who repudiates instrumental music using the ugliest of images.

1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another,
        and be clothed with humility:
        for God resisteth the proud,
        and giveth GRACE to the humble.

"Philodemus considered it paradoxical that music should be regarded as veneration of the gods while musicians were paid for performing this so-called veneration. Again, Philodemus held as self deceptive the view that music mediated religious ecstasy. He saw the entire condition induced by the noise of cymbals and tambourines as a disturbance of the spirit.

He found it significant that, on the whole, only women and effeminate men fell into this folly.

Accordingly, nothing of value could be attributed to music; it was no more than a slave of the sensation of pleasure, which satisfied much in the same way that food and drink did.

Similar opinions may be found in the writings of Philo. On one occasion he spoke of the Jewish "Feast of Fasting," used by the Greeks for the Day of Atonement:

"Now, many a man from the false religions, which are not ashamed of criticising what is noble, will ask: how can there be a feast without carousing and overeating, without the pleasant company of hosts and guests, without quantities of unmixed wine, without richly set tables and highly stacked provisions of everything that pertains to a banquet, without pageantry and jokes,

bantering and merry-making to the accompaniment of flutes and citharas, the sound of drums and cymbals and other effeminate and frivolous music of every king,

enkindling unbridled lusts with the help of the sense of hearing. For in and through the same [pleasures] those persons openly seek their joy, for what true joy is their they do not know.

"There is incontrovertible archaeological evidence for the antiquity of the musical guilds themselves. The Phoenicians (Canaanites) outshone their contemporaries in music, and the Israelites were early influenced by them.

Musical guilds of the Hebrews may be traced back in some instances,
to
old Canaanite families whose designations, such as Hemen the Ezrahite (I Chron. 2:6), became a part of later Hebrew family names." (Unger, Merril, Archaeology and the Old Testament, Zondervan, P. 216-7)

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,

        who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
        for God was with him.


Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness,
        by the resurrection from the dead:


Heb. 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices,
        which can never take away sins:
Heb. 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,
        sat down on the right hand of God;
1Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
            and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
            and one mediator between God and men,
            the man Christ Jesus;
1Timothy 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

This is not speaking as in the command to SPEAK one to another to teach and comfort. Sounding brass and tinkling cymbals here are identifying marks of people who have NO LOVE. Even if they COULD speak all of the languages in the world there would be no love. The command is to SPEAK or LOGOS the Word of Christ which is the opposite of rhetoric, singing or playing instruments. Speaking in the tongues of angels was IN FACT making music in tongues.

[195] Full often have I argued out this subject with others. For there are those who say, there is more bad than good in human nature; but I hold a contrary view, that good over bad predominates in man, [200] for if it were not so, we should not exist. He has my praise,
        whichever god brought us to live by rule from chaos and from brutishness,
        first by implanting reason, and next by giving us a tongue to declare our thoughts,
        so as to know the meaning of what is said..

And where sight fails us and our knowledge is not sure, the seer foretells by gazing on the flame, by reading signs in folds of entrails, or by
divination from the flight of birds.
        Are we not then too proud, when heaven has made such [215] preparation for our life, not to be content with it?
        But our presumption seeks to lord it over heaven, and in the pride of our hearts we think we are wiser than the gods.


8.09.12
Psallo has NO musical connection: It just means pluck something-bowstring, harp string, hair, rope-with the FINGERS and never with a PLECTRUM.  Resting one's salvation by sowing discord on twisting a single word is saying that The Holy Spirit of Christ, Paul and recorded history were ILLITERATE or intended to sow discord.  You can understand the Biblical Examples and literature such as The Books of Enoch confirmed by Jude: that when people have fallen into the use of musical instruments (brought into the Garden of Eden by Lucifer the singing and harp playing prostitute) they have fallen and can never repent: that was the pattern when Israel fell into musical idolatry at Mount Sinai: God turned them over to worship the Starry Host (Acts 7) and gave them kings in His anger to carry them BEYOND BABYLON which meant "with no possibility of return."  God LOADED THEM DOWN with Grace: The Book of The Covenant of Grace but they rejected it. 

I can sense the overload of just quoting the Biblical Text: sorry that it doesn't take much truth to exhaust one's grace.  Be warned of Grace-Centered which is always Person-Centered that the warnings are too many to claim ignorance.

When your father invited the gods to a very well-ordered banquet at his own dear Sipylus, in return for the meals he had enjoyed, [40] then it was that the god of the splendid trident seized you, his mind overcome with desire, and carried you away on his team of golden horses to the highest home of widely-honored Zeus, to which at a later time Ganymede came also, [45] to perform the same service for Zeus.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them,

Matthew 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew,
        and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Matthew 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.


THAT'S WHY PETER SAID THAT THE PROPHETS BY THE  SPIRIT OF CHRIST ARE NOT TO BE PRIVATELY INTERPRETED OR FURTHER EXPOUNDED AS EXEGETICE IS MAGICA.


I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO REPENT ONCE YOU HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE (Christ, Word, Spirit) and bowed to the Babylon Mother of Harlots.

Proof that the use of the PSALLO word which has no musical content to deliberately lie, cheat and steal the church houses of widows is called BLASPHEMY as Jesus defined the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites: speakers, singers and instrument players in Ezekiel 33.


First, since psallo never at any time or place in recorded history MEANT more than pluck or smite a string with your FINGERS and never with a PLECTRUM they would know that pluck had and has absolutely no "musical" content.  That is why there is no recorded Bible or literary example of being able to instruct someone to pluck a string with one word. If you tell someone PLUCK there is no telling what would happen to you.  The same is true in English and all languages.

Second, if you want to tell someone to PLUCK an INSTRUMENT there are compound words for all named instruments and STYLES of plucking.
Third, you blaspheme the Spirit of Christ by saying that:
  1. He was too ignorant not to use TWO words such as PSALLO Plus A Harp.
  2. He was too ignorant not to use one compound word which meant play a harp
  3. He just wanted to throw in stumble words for those who have not been washed with water INTO the Word or school of Christ or
  4. He intentionally wanted to sow massive discord since singing as an ACT was first imposed in the hear 373.
  5. Even if Psallo meant pluck a harp the word specificially demands ONLY WITH THE FINGER and never with a plectrum.  Therefore, The Spirit OF Christ laid a trap for those who insist on 'making the lambs dumb before the slaughter."
Even if "psallo" meant play a harp it could NEVER be used to justify a guitar pick, a flute or drums

Playing the part of those deliberately sowing discord and blaspheming, let's assume that the Spirit of Christ or Paul or anyone prior to 1878 was too illiterate to know about all of the compound words.  For instance.

Anti-psallτ, A.play a stringed instrument in accompaniment of song, a. elegois phorminga  {harp of Apollo, Abaddon, Apollyon's instrument] 
Epi-psallō, A. play the lyre, S.Fr.60, Poll.4.58(Pass.); “melesi kai rhuthmois” 
                    SING, “tous humnous” LXX 2 Ma.1.30: Then the priests sang the hymns.
Even if you define a melody that would NOT include a rhythm.
Melos  rooted in cutting limb from limb like all musical terms.
        A.
limb, in early writers always in pl.is corrupt for kata meros
       
2. metaphor., “esmen . . allēlōn melē” Ep.Rom.12.5, cf. 1 Ep.Cor.6.15.
        meros

        III. the part one takes in a thing
B. Especially musical member, phrase: hence, song, strain, first in h.Hom.19.16
        lyric poetry, choral songs, Opposite Epic or Dramatic verse

Perhaps the Holy Spirit was not educated enough NOT to use psallo which is never translated to mean musical melody and was not aware that He could have used MELOS which means musical melody or a series of single notes.
HH 19 To Pan:1 Muse, tell me about Pan, the dear son of Hermes, with his goat's feet and two horns —a lover of merry noise. Through wooded glades he wanders with dancing nymphs who foot it on some sheer cliff's edge, [5] calling upon Pan, the shepherd-god, long-haired, unkempt.... Often he courses through the glistening high mountains, and often on the shouldered hills he speeds along slaying wild beasts, this keen-eyed god. Only at evening, [15] as he returns from the chase,
        he sounds his note,
        playing sweet and low on his pipes of reed:
        not even she could excel him in melody —
        that bird who in flower-laden spring pouring forth her lament utters honey-voiced song amid the leaves....
Then all the immortals were glad in heart and Bacchic Dionysus in especial; and they called the boy Pan because he delighted all their hearts.

ANATHEMA means any one or any thing which has been set up as a offering to God in a "holy place" assuming that he or it can enhance the Worship.  A thing or person so dedicated cannot be redeemed and must be burned.

Deliberate sowing of discord was first based on the Greek word PSALLO as late as 1878 by the Disciples of Christ. In 1920 O.E.Payne wrote a 352 page book which was fed to select non-instrumentalists in an attempt to seduce them into using instruments in the face of a Holy Christ.  This ASSERTS that the Spirit of Christ was too ignorant to know how to use TWO words as in Psallo (twang) A harp, Or too ignorant not to know to use COMPOUND words when playing an instrument was intended.

11.03.11 See Grace Conversation Two: Jay Guin set up a conversation between all parties non of whom can define the meaning of Grace.

11.01.11 The Nicene Creed affirmed by Grace Centered Forum as polytheism. Its amazing that people with no Bible or Historic background can be so graceless and dogmatic and wind up teaching what John defines as the Mark of the ANTI-Christ
1Timothy 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the man Christ Jesus;
The Nicene Creed spoke retrospectively of Jesus Christ whom God made to be both Lord and Christ but of course Jesus wasn't born before He became the SEED of Abraham totally. And in retrospect, they just said And the Holy Spirit. They understood that Spirit literally means WIND or AIR and only figuratively of the BREATH of God.

Why Christ left musical instruments as a way to MARK those who--as it is obvious--mock Jesus by refusing to teach using HIS songs and sermons: especially since in prophecy and fulfilment Christ FORBIDS you to seek your own pleasure or speak your own words: we can't trust you and that is why you have failed.

9.25.11 MOCKING JESUS PART ONE

CHRIST (the Rock) ordained the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness. It served the same purpose as the Church of Christ after God through Jesus had totally destroyed the Jewish "covenant with death."

The Alarm or Triumph OVER was outlawed when the Holy Convocation was called into assembly.



That always existed to QUARANTINE the godly people from the abandoned tribe of Levi who lost their inheritance and engaged in THE WORSHIP OF THE STARRY host: that is the patternism of the preachers and PhDuhs at places like LU and ACU.

Isaiah 4:3 And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem,
        shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isaiah 4:4 When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion,
Jesus cast out the musical minstrels "more or less violently, like dung."

And the Lord will again wait, that he may pity you, and will therefore be exalted that he may have mercy upon vou because the Lord your God is a judge blessed are they that stay themselves upon him. Isaiah 30:l8 LXX

For the holy people shall dwell in Sion and whereas Jerusalem has wept bitterly saying, Pity me; he shall pity thee when he perceived the voice of thy cry he hearkened to thee. Isaiah 30:19 LXX

And though the Lord shall give you the bread of affliction and sent water,
        yet they that cause thee to err shall no more at all draw nigh to thee,
        for thine eyes shall see those that cause thee to err Isaiah 30:20 LXX

and thine ears shall hear the words of them that went after thee to lead thee astray,
who say, This is the way, let us walk in it, whether to the
right or to the left. Isaiah 30:21 LXX

And thou shalt pollute the plated idols
        and thou shalt grind to powder (like "melody" in Greek) the gilt ones,
        and shalt scatter them as the water of a removed woman,
        and thou shalt thrust them forth as dung. Isaiah 30:22 LXX
        and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem
        from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Isaiah 4:5 And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion,
        and upon her assemblies,
        a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night:
        for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Isaiah 4:6 And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat,
        and for a place of refuge,
        and for a covert from storm and from rain.
“Juppiter,” who dispenses rain

When God promised David a house He meant a family or tabernacle: when Christ came to restore that fallen tabernacle it was NOT a temple and it never included any kind of music

When people tamper with the Word God sends them strong delusions so that they BELIEVE THEIR OWN LIES about music: the Lying Wonders are specificially singing, playing, acting or rhetoric TELLING those they fleece that they are COMMANDED by God: Jesus said that the kingdomof God does not come with "religious observations" or ritual worship services.

PSALM 41 PROPHESIED THAT JUDAS WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE JESUS LEAVE HIS MUSIC: his judas bag was for carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments.

Psalm 41 was left as a MARK to identify Judas who would try to spook Jesus by engaging in the musical perfromance OUTLAWED for the church by Christ.
Psalm 41 gives the ALARM or triumph over (vocal or instrumental rejoicing, rhetoric) as the MARK of Judas: the Judas Bag was that of a thief for carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments. Revelation 17-18 still leaves performance music as the MARK of Sorcerers who with the dogs and liars will be (have been) cast alive into the lake of fire.

The Thanksgiving Hymns (1QH) from the Dead Sea Scrolls interprets Psalm 41:

They come to inquire of Thee
from the mouth of lying prophets deceived by error
Who speak with strange lips to Thy people,
and an alien tongue,
That they may cunningly turn
all their work to folly.
Paul warned about this in Ephesians 4.
For Thou, O God, hast sheltered me
from the children of men
And hast hidden Thy Law within me
against the time when Thou shoudst
reveal Thy salvation to me.

All who have eaten my bread
have lifted their heel against me (cf John 13:18)
And all those joined to my Council
have mocked me with wicked lips.

Thy members of my Covenant have rebelled
and have murmured round about me;
They have gone as talebearers
before the children of mischief
concerning the mystery which Thou hast hidden in me...

They have overtaken me in a narrow pass without escape
And there is no rest for me in my trial.
They sound my censure upon a harp
and their murmuring and storming upon a zither."

Anguish seizes me
like the pangs of a woman in travail,
and my heart is troubled within me.
I am clothed in blackness
and my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth. (Vermes, 

However, in victory it is said of Messiah:

I will groan with the zither of lamentation
in all grief-stricken mourning and bitter complaint
until iniquity and wickedness are consumed
and the disease-bringing scourge is no more.
An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:
and now that he lieth
he shall rise up no more. Ps.41:8
Then will I play on the zither of deliverance
and harp of joy,
on the tabors of prayer and the pipe of praise
without end.

All my life the engraved Precept shall be on my tongue
as the fruit of praise
and the portion of my lips.
 
I will sing with knowledge and all my music
shall be for the glory of God.
(My) lyre (and) my harp shall sound
for His holy order
and I will tune the pipe of my lips
to His right measure.
When the elders HELD their harps there is NO MUSIC but sounds-like.  Holding the harps is APPREHENDING the Word of God Who breathed and spoke through Jesus Christ to reveal His word WITHOUT MEASURE.  Then we can mark the Judas types.

Jesus never said: "Thou shalt not be a Judas."

Grace Centered Magazine--like a few other Anti-church of Christ sites--has rejected Grace which TEACHES us to deny ungodliness.  It is ungodly to hide behind an alias and lie to God and about God without  being willing to give an answer to why you should not burn for imiataing:
The Levites volunteered to EXECUTE 3,000 of their brethren who fell into musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

God commanded only this role in the future sacrificial system to which God abandoned the Levi tribe.

The Levites performed as SOOTHSAYERS with instrumental accompaniment under the king and commanders of the army.  They were abandoned to stand guard at imposed animal sacrifices and EXECUTE any preacher, singer, instrument player, clapper etal who came NEAR any holy thing.

The burning of the GOATS is the place where the Levites made a great instrumental noise--never called music--and was the idea and command of Hezekiah: this was to try to appease Israel as the fallen into Instrumental Music Sectarians.  This is the event where the Levites under the King and Commanders of the army are said to be under the COMMANDMENTS OF DAVID THE KING.

Christ in Isaiah 1 and Jeremiah 7 said that God DID NOT COMMAND sacrifices and burnt offerings: to believe that He did is blasphemy.

If your "leaders" confess that the "youth meetings" with lots of instrumental music was intended to "move them from our movement."

And God in Christ denounces the use of instruments for the godly Jews who worshipped at the synagogue and NOT INSIDE the temple, calls The Civil-Military-Clergy Complex robbers and parasites.

Then Christ in Jeremiah 23 says that you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit of Christ who ordained the Prophets and Apostles as the foundation upon which the church is built.
LarryS and Johnb rule a "church of Christ" forum and just removes anything quoted form the Bible and all recorded church history which rejects their anti-church of Christ rule.

Consistent with their misleaders, they use opinion-only to justify this unChristian and unGodly attack.
Again the Levites performed during an UNAUTHORIZED and BABYLONISH sacrifice as SOOTHSAYERS with INSTRUMENTAL ACCOMPANIMENT.

When a person or thing is DEDICATED to a temple or holy place, they loose their inheritance and are declared ANATHEMA: anathema means that it is dedicated to the temple or assembly and CANNOT be redeemed. Therefore, it MUST be burned. That is a predestinated punishment for--like Lucifer--being lifted up with pride and presuming to stand in the holy place and claiming to be GOD because they claim to "lead you into the presence of God" and thereby usurp the role of the ONE MEDIATOR between man and man. Christ called Lucifer the "singing and harp playing prostitute in the garden of Eden." He/she/it was "cast as profane" out of heaven defined by David's "praise word."

The Levites went to Jerusalem in musical processions specificially to offer burnt offering of childeren as the ONLY RATIONALE for instrumental noise even when Hezekiah tried to eleminate infant sacrifice just before the PROOF-TEXT and just after the temple had been purged of all of the Assyrian instruments.

REMEMBERING THAT ISRAEL REVOLTED AND BECAME THE PROTOTYPE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SECT.

Christ in Isaiah 30 says of the Assyrians who controlled Israel and well as ALL national worship patternism:

Must ye always rejoice, and go into my holy places continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29 LXX

"Many of the Psalms are expressive of the parade dance, or dance procession, in a way which show it to have been the characteristic form of the festival (Psalms 30:12, 87:7, 149:3, 150:4; Is. 30:29) and that this was where many of the Psalms were used." ( W. O. E. Osterley, The Sacred Dance (Cambridge: N. P., 1923), p. 94)

Isa 30:30 And the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be hearrd
        and the wrath of his arm [Messiah], to make a display with wrath and of anger and devouring flame:
        he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and bionent hail.

Isa 30:31 For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome,
        even by the stroke wherewtith he shall smit them.

Isa 3032 And is shall happen to him from every side,
        that they from whome their hope of assistance was,    
        in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp.


The marks in sight and sound of God driving His enemies into "hell" will be the same wind, string and percussion instruments which Lucifer (Zoe) brought with him/her/it into the garden of Eden as a "singing and harp playing prostitute."

Consistent with all recorded history those who dedicate themselves to religious music are "Drunk, perverted or just playing around." That is why according to the Book of Enoch once they have FALLEN they can never be restored: that is why the Levites slaughtered 3,000 of the instrumental idolaters.

Revelation 17 tells the same story: the rhetoricians, singers and instrument players have dedicated themselves to being SORCERERS with instrumental accompaniment. That is why John says that the sorcerers (anathematized religious performers) will be (have been) cast alive into the LAKE OF FIRE. That includes LIARS and DOGS which Paul excluded from worship: these were the Cynic Catamites as "old style praise singers."

This is what LarryS and JohnB are trying to seduce you into: again when the godly people fell into musical idolatry in Enoch (the Jubal family) they knew that they could NOT be redeemed: they filled all of their time trying to gain affirmation by seducing others into INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.  The BEAST is defined as "A new style of singing or drama." Your GRACE-CENTERED church is the Babylon Mother of Harlots (Rev 17) who uses lusted after FRUITS (same as in Amost) as performers of religious OBSERVATIONS which guarantees that the Kingdom (Christ) is not there.

Nevertheless VIOLENT men try to take the kingom by VIOLENT MEANS. Refusing to let you defend Christ and His Word IS very violent acts by violent men.

If you follw Rick Atchley, Jay Guin, Max Lucado, Chris Seidman, Al Maxey, LarryS, Johnb none of whom needs to read the Word etal the PATTERNISM is
BURNING GOATS to try to appease the already-abandoned INSTRUMENTAL SECT with Loud Instrumental noise (it still isn't music) accompaniment. That is a MARK Christ left in Psalm 41.

In Isaiah 30 and Revelation 17-18 that is the MARK of God removing the music, instrumetents and the Lampstands from your congregation and guiding you into the Lake of Fire.

The instrumental sectarians do not seek unity but A hostile takeover using deceptive (Satanic) means.
Rick Atchley-Chris Seidman: The Levites were commanded to EXECUTE anyone who came near any holy place during the slaughter of innocent animals which were NOT commanded by God.  How we won your children!

Rick Atchley was handled and seduced into his ORIGINAL GOAL by bringing in liars from the NACC and fooling the foolish by making them think that one alimal slaughter and burning by the Civil-Military-Clergy complex Christ called robbers and prasites is their command from "a" spirit to impose instrumental praise that word which is a dead giveaway to the "women and effeminate boys" ruling over you:

THE PATTERN OF USING MUSIC FOR DELIBERATE DECEPTION
2Corinthians 6:7 By the word of truth, by the power of God,
        by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2Corinthians 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report:
        as deceivers, and yet true;
2Corinthians 6:9 As unknown, and yet well known;
        as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
From Jay Guin reporting in New Wineskins
Rick Atchley: The era of the progressive Church of Christ is over.

Back in the 80’s you could go to any major city, especially in the South, and you could find a progressive Church of Christ — and if they would preach grace, and if they would put words on a screen, and if they would let divorced people place membership, they would grow.

The generation of Boomers has enough denominational loyalty that they’re going to find the least legalistic

Well, we discipled the children of those progressive churches
        for a whole generation to grow past us Boomers.
        They never heard the sermons we heard.
        They never heard the rationale for a cappella music.

We sent them to youth rallies and Church of Christ events
        with some of the finest Christian bands in the world.
        We discipled our children to leave our Movement!
This must be deception of Biblical proportions especially since it is based on violating all Biblical and Historical evidence. It is not possible to be so misinformed.

The Serpent Deceiver is defined as a Musical Enchanter(ess). Christ calls Tyre Lucifer as "the singing and harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden."

"According to the system which Nimrod was the grand instrument in introducing, men were led to believe

that a real spiritual change of heart was unnecessary,
and that so far as change was needful,
they could be
regenerated by mere external means.

"Looking at the subject in the light of the Bacchanalian orgies (Read Ephesus and Corinth), which, as the reader has seen, commemorated the history of Nimrod, it is evident that
         he led mankind to seek their chief good in sensual enjoyment,

and showed them how they might enjoy the pleasures of sin, without any fear of the wrath of a holy God. 

"In his various expeditions he was always accompanied by troops of women; and by music and song, and games (ritual drama) and revelries, and everything that could please the natural hearts,

he commended himself to the good graces of mankind." (Hislop, Alexander, The Two Babylons, p. 55, Loizeaux Brothers)

Rick Atchley: They’re not leaving the kingdom of God, and I’m not saying that — so please hear me say, I’m not placing the health of the Movement above the kingdom of God — I want my kids to love Jesus, but I do think that Churches need to understand.

Jesus said the kingdom of God does not come to "Religious Observations" or worship services: Jesus commanded the ekklesia or synagogue as A School of Christ (only). Too bad.

They are older and smaller, and their kids are gone. Their kids have fond memories of growing up in that church. The church taught them about Jesus, but now they are somewhere else.

You know, when I hear some of those old arguments about music, because of my history, even though I disagree, at least I can connect the dots and see how you got there. My children don’t even have the graph paper!

My thesis is that Rick has never read Christ's views about instrumental music.  He is reading off the NACC white paper but does not grasp that "vocal or instrumental rejoicing" or elevated forms of speech was OUTLAWED for the Church of Christ in the wilderness.

Chris Seidman:
Let me say this, I don’t think whether our churches become “hybrids” with a cappella and instrumental services will be the difference-maker in whether the younger generations stay with the Movement. I think there are bigger fish to fry in their minds. But I do think that music is a variable in their decision.
Not only is the instrumental genre a part of the culture,
but they are growing up with it being used in their children’s and youth ministries.

We always understood this to be the method of deliberately altering the minds of the youth so they would finance people with no Biblical role and no dole.

When they get to adulthood and begin functioning within a local church in our heritage, they will notice its absence. And I think that in the long run, they won’t engage in a discussion because,
as Rick said, they don’t even have the graph paper to connect the dots.
They’ll be more likely just to quietly transition to another part of Christendom.

This is happening right now. Between our concern for the younger generations in the Movement and our desire to reach those who have disengaged or never connected with Jesus in our culture, we think it’s worth addressing the matter.
CLAIMING TO BE A TEACHER BUT NOT KNOWING THAT THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS BUILT ON THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES.  That is why most preachers and "scholars" cannot read BLACK text on BROWN  paper where Christ REPUDIATES you and puts you beyond redemption:

Just after Rick Atchley's authority for IMPOSING musical instruments based on the PATTERN of the Jacob-cursed Levites and Hezekiah died
. The PATTERN then is absolutely ordained by God to be completed.  Hezekiah substituted GOATS instead of infants to try to correct the Levite's historical practice begun in Egypt as performing as SOOTHSAYERS with INSTRUMENTAL accompaniment to silence the voice of the innocent infants.

Hezekiah showed no concern for his children or grandchildren as long as his betrayal to the Assyrians did not happen in his time.  As a result, Manasseh RESTORED the burning of CHILDREN instead of GOATS as Rick atchley's legalistic patternism.

2Chr 33:9 So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err,
        and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.

sē-dūco , xi, ctum, 3, v. a. I. To lead aside or apart, to draw aside; to lead away, carry off; to set aside, put by, etc. (syn. sevoco).

 2Chr 33:10 And the LORD spake to Manasseh,
        and to his people: but they would not hearken

2Chr 33:11 Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria,
        which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

2Chr 33:12 And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

Clark: Here is a very large addition in the Chaldee: "For the Chaldeans made a brazen mule, pierced full of small holes, and put him within it, and kindled fires all around it; and when he was in this misery, he sought help of all the idols which he had made, but obtained none, for their were of no use. He therefore repented, and prayed before the Lord his God, and was greatly humbled in the sight of the Lord God of his fathers."
When Manasseh (the changelings) repented

2Chr 33:17 Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.

Wesley Still — Manasseh could not carry the reformation so far as he had carried the corruption. It is an easy thing to debauch men's manners; but not so easy to reform them again.

2Chr 33:18 Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

Verse 18. "The words of the seers that spake to him" - "Which were spoken to him in the name of the WORD of the Lord God of Israel." -Targum.
He says that by using DEVIOUS MEANS to teach YOUR CHILDREN to leave the Church of Christ he is bringing them into the KINGDOM.  Again, not being able to read BLACK text on BROWN paper, neither he nor LarryS or Johnb can ever comprehend that Jesus warned us NOT to go out to the patternism of the Levites because the Kingdom of God does not comme with RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS or "Worship Services." Jesus excluded those with no role and no dole including any effeminate praise singer as the OLDEST known profession.

http://www.piney.com/Luke.17.Kingdom.Not.Observation.html

The Church of Christ is defined from the wilderness onward:

INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing The Word of God (only)
EXCLUSIVE of "vocal or instrumental rejoicing" including high sounding preaching or rhetoric.

These people who confess using INSTUMENTS to lead your children astray cannot bring the kingdom of God to your confiscated congregation.  Maybe they were hearing a DIFFERENT kind of "spirit?"

Gen. 49:6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret;  [counsel: don't look to Levi for a pattern]
        unto their assembly
, mine honour, be not thou united:
        for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
Gen. 49:7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel:

Divido I. To force asunder, part, separate, divide (very freq. and class.; cf.: distribuo, dispertio; findo, scindo, dirimo, divello, separo, sejungo, segrego, secerno).
And don't forget that they volunteered to slaughter 3000 including their own "brethren" for engaging in musical idolatry.  When they were "divided" to execute 3,000 people who had engaged in musical idolatry they were commanded by God (2 Chronicles 29) to stand guard and execute any of the civillians who came near any ritual of the temple. They LOST their inheritance.
"The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).  See Musical Idolatry at Mount Sinai
Exod 32:6 And they rose up early on the morrow,  and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; 
        and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play
Ludo  A. To sport, play with any thing, to practise as a pastime, amuse one's self with any thing,
B. To sport, dally, wantonly Esp., to play on an instrument of music, to make or compose music or song: “carmina pastorum,”
Exodus 32:25 And when Moses saw that the people were naked;
        (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
Exodus 32:26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said,
        Who is on the LORD’s side? let him come unto me.
        And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.

Here is what Moses commanded:

Exodus 32:27 And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel,
        Put every man his sword by his side,
        and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp,
        And slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
Exodus 32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses:
        and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
The worship of the starry host (Acts 7) was guarded by the Levites who would kill any civillian who came near any holy thing or place.
Numbers 18:1 And the LORD said unto Aaron,
        Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee
        shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary:
        and thou and thy sons with thee
        shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Numbers 18:2 And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee,
        that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee:
        but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
Numbers 18:3 And they shall keep thy charge,
        and the charge of all the tabernacle: 
                only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar,
                that neither they, nor ye also, die.
If you sow division by claiming that God commanded musical instruments in the School of the Word.
And God has not commanded any kind of music.

Then you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit Who wrote the warning against blasphemy.

Christ provided a way to guard ourselves: In Isaiah 58 during our REST day we are not to seek our own pleasure or speak our own words.

8.12.11 The Churches of Christ was never "unioned" with the Disciples of Christ / Christian Churches. Don't be duped.
The Disciples / Christian Churches were the first to say that GOD COMMANDED INSTRUMENTAL WORSHIP in the Old Testament and since He has not changed the Law, it is still acceptable to use instrumental music in what is described solely as "A School of the Word of Christ" as Jesus commanded when He sent preachers OUT.
  1. The New credo is that God commanded instrumental praise and WE will not be disobedient.  A small number of preachers have been duped into a fatal fall from grace: flattery will get you anything!
  2. If God did NOT command the use of Musical Instruments (to make noise) even when He abandoned them to worship the starry host BECAUSE of musical idolatry.
  3. Then Jeremiah 23 by the Spirit OF Christ (the only One) says that you have blasphemed The Holy Spirit.
Bob Williams in the Origins of Christian Worship teaches (along with most preachers) that the Christian Worship was derived from the Jews which until its destruction was at the temple;
"After its construction by Solomon, the temple in Jerusalem became the prominent focus of Jewish worship. It appears that the emphasis of worship in the temple was primarily on sacrificial offerings and praise to God through music.
All of the sowing of discord in the modern church is founded on total ignorance of the story of the Monarchy: God turned them over to worship the starry host. Why do YOU think so many are working so legalisticall hard to conform the church to the Monarchy.

The new Grace-Centered fad seems to confess that it is permissible to sin but Grace will make allowances: apparently even for sowing of discord and forcing owners out of their church family.

Chris Seidman on the word Psallo in revelation to justify sowing discord: there can be no grace for those who speak without reading the Biblical text. Chris was one of the leaders reading off the script the NACC gave him. Anyone who says that Christ has not spoken inclusively and exclusively  about what it takes to be a disciple (Christian) who attends Bible Class (from the Bible) and how to MARK those who use music to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter, simple has not read the text without the mental disturbance of performance preaching or singing.


7.12.11

Review of Truitt Adair's review of Rick Atchley.  Preachers are shooting blanks and keeping their career path safe as long as they agree that Amos (by the Spirit of Christ) condemned only their "attitude." And as long as they say that God commanded anything in the cursed king, kingdom, temple, sacrificial system at which they made exorcism noises never called music. The church is built upon the Prophets and Apostles all who radically condemn the the Civil-Military-Clergy complex as robbers, parasites and hypocrites (defined as speakers, singer and instrument players). There is NO historic scholar who did not agree that Amos was condemning the use of instruments in Samaria.

When Ahaz took the sacrifices and noise (never music) outside of Jerusalem he violated God's law which quarantined the horrors behind closed doors .  If you become a Levite singer outside of the Temple in Jerusalem the PATTERN is that God will send a plague upon you.

6.19.11

See 1 Corinthians 14 with some real word definition which FORBIDS speaking in tongues where the "speaking" word in this sense outlaws gibbering (praise songs), singing, playing instruments or drama.  When you speak the LOGOS the word is the opposite of poetry or music. The object is to Teach and Admonish so we simple minds understand that you dont play instruments when TEACHING with the Word (only) of Christ (only). Peter identified that as the Prophets and Apostles who left a memory of Christ making the prophecies more perfect.

6.26.11 All of the Grace-Centered (aka NACC) focus is to say that:
  1. God commanded instrumental praise: that applies to this congregation.
  2. Christ in all of the Prophets say that God did NOT command anything connected to the cursed monarchy. Stephen was murdered for saying that Israel lost it when God turned them over to worship the starry host BECAUSE of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. I have added some quick notes on Isaiah 66 where Christ DENIES that Grace permits music

    Isaiah Chapter 66 with additional notes on Acts 7 which appears to be off-limits to all of the Grace Based Theology.

  3. Christ says in Jeremiah 23 that if you claim that God said something He did not say you are guilty of blasphemy.
  4. Blasphemy against the Spirit (of Christ in the Prophets and Apostles) is not redeemable.
  5. Anathema is to set self or talent up as a votive offering in the temple: it has been dedicated to God which means dedicated to being burned with fire.

5.28.11  I have noticed that all of those spreading hate against those who will not submit to what they call "musical worship" all, like vampires, suck from a few people who have collected all of the "instrument" verses intending to say that if David sang in his bed, or while attacking the enemy, this is God-given authority to do the same thing when the church assembles as a school of the word (only). This was the same as the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness which never changed: even the Lord's Supper was a teaching and confessing act.

Robert Ballad The Case for Instrumental Music.  This is another book which jumbles all of the "instrumental" passage trying to prove that Israel's being turned over to worship the starry host is a new PATTERN for the School of The Word where disciples meet to be taught what Jesus commanded to be taught.
Have you wondered why there are so many striving to become doctors of the law when Jesus said they took away the key to knowledge? Christ marked them as rhetoricians, singers and instrument players.

In Numbers 10 the loud instrumental noise was outlawed because the Godly people wanted to hear God's Word. This is the alarm or triumph over word which Judas and the doctors of the law would try to do to Jesus. The word includes making loud noise on wind instruments.

Psalm 41 says that Judas would not triumph over Jesus: that job was left for the theologians of the day who won the battle for three days and three nights. When they beat him to the bones with REEDS? Those were the WIND INSTRUMENTS they used as tools of sorcery. The Judas Bag was for "carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments."

Did the Jews really attack Jesus with their flute? Yes: in prophecy Psalm 41,

5.12.11 I finally got a few minutes to waste: Lurching Larry stole my good posts so I had to redo something.

Buff the Reformer promotes Leroy Garrett is his way of attacking the "a cappella church of Christ."

Leroy misquotes Scripture, Buff misquotes Leroy, both are absolutely wrong and have no trouble attributing something to the Campbells which is just the opposite of truth.

http://www.piney.com/Buff.Reformer.Grace.Centered.Magazine.html

The lack of manly response to a rebuttal is pretty graceless.


4.30.11 John T. Willis 2. "Sing" is vocal; "make melody" is instrumental. Psalms 33:2-3; 144:9; 149:1, 3 make this crystal clear. Amos 5:23 further verifies this reality.  People forget that God turned Israel over to worship the starry host because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. The Levites were under the KING and the COMMANDERS of the army: they made war and not worship. We will examine these passages in context.

Based on 2 Chronicles 19 which is Hezekiah's Plague-Stopping animal sacrifices where the warrior Levites made instrumental noise, ALL of those deliberately sowing discoord say that this is God COMMANDING USE to use instrumental praise in the collective assembly.  However, Christ in the prophets agrees that God never commanded sacrifices or Burnt offerings. The Burnt Goats were offered to appease Israel and not for worship. This practice replaced the burning of humans in chapter 28 and again in 2 Chronicles 33.  Chapter 33 identifies the worship to which God had abandoned Israel BECAUSE of musical idolatry as WITCHCRAFT or SORCERY.  If you are being subdued by musical performers then you are practicing witchcraft or Sorcery.  The Lake of Fire or "hell" was prepared for a people prepared by being made dumb before the slaughter.

4.15.11 While attacking the non-instrumental position and the right of God to Command, example and infer His will, it seems prophetic that they advertise a prophet predicting that the world will end May 21--exactly. Their prophet relies heavily on 2 Peter 3 which like chapter 1 and 2 outlaws private interpretation or further expounding and marks as false teachers those who go beyond the record.  All three chapters MARK the rhetoricians, singers, instrument players and actors as THE method the evil one used to deceive the church: group or COMMUNAL music which is not the Word of Christ was the well known method of Satan.  2 Peter 3: End Time Mockers. This is a quick review of chapter 3 in response to their prophetic skills.

4.09.11 2 Chronicles 33 and musical witchcraft.
There is no redemption in the Bible and contemporaneous literature because usingg music when Jesus promised that we could rest and LEARN OF HIM is visible and audible proof that people have a low, contemptuous  understanding of the nature of God as pure, holy or wholly Spirit Who WILL NOT be worshipped by the works of human hands or the arts and crafts of God.


4,03,11 Update on Jay Guinn and the nature of the Kingdom. What Jay and the "progressives" points directly to the Scribes and Pharisees whom Jesus called hypocrites and named in Ezekiel 33 self-speakers, singers and instrument players. Their job was to violently take over the Kingdom by violent means. Just defining words points directly to all of the performing artists who intend to "make the voice of the Victim silent."

There are NO performing roles in A Church of Christ: all rhetoric, performance singing with or without instruments is define as the role of the Hypocrite.  Job and most recorded history defines such theatrical performance as the role of the effeminate and promises that they will die with a plague.  Click to see that Job agrees with many Biblical and other contemporaneous literature that once you have been "initiated" into this role you are trapped and can never repent. We have added Job's comments.  All rhetoric and musical performers make it certain that you will never hear the inspired words defined.

4.01.11 Matthew 11 pronounces woes upon the rhetoricians, singers and instrument players. They take the kingdom (congregation) by force which in the Bible and Greek literature points to the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites identified by Christ as rhetoricians, singers and instrument players: this was the best example the Spirit of Christ could find to mark the foolish who had no intention of teaching the Word of Christ, an an audience which had no intention of obeying.

The effeminate priests of Dionysus shook the thyrus or bundle of reeds. In addition, the reed was vital in the seductive process of the serpent: 0.Idiot

Behold! the Holy Idiot, lost within 
A private world. He'll have the chance to win 
New freedom from confining rules. 
Rejoice The madness! For it brings another choice. 
Now let the Saturnalia begin

When the time comes, as it always does, when the old rules, conceptual structures, prejudices and beliefs are no longer adequate to the challenges at hand, then a Divine Maniac is needed. He or she lives in a private world, and so is not bound by the shared conventions, preconceptions or norms of the society. The Gods - or Chance - select the Idiot who will become the savior who will transform society. He is elevated to King for a short time (for only so much madness can be tolerated), and must undergo many transformations before, with luck, he rejuvenates the world. [Second Incarnation]

It is appropriate that 0.Idiot leads the trumps for, according to Cartari (Imagini degli Dei, 1647), Bacchus invented the "triumph" in the form of the wild processions of maenads, panthers and other creatures, which he led (Williams 31). Indeed, Latin triumphus or triumpus comes from Etruscan, which got the word from Greek thriambos, a hymn to Bacchus (Bonfante, p. 17). Our image is based on the famous Townley Vase (2nd cent. BCE), which depicts a Bacchanalian triumph.

What men or gods are these? What maidens loath? What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy? - Keats, "Ode to a Grecian Urn

Psalm 41 says that Judas will not TRIUMPH over Jesus Christ which is the very "vocal and instrumental rejoicing" Christ outlawed for the synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness and He never changed His Mind.
It is popular to lift verses from Galatians out of context to AUTHORIZE the use of instruments in the so-called worship services.  In addition they brand those who oppose the introduction of instruments into a peaceable Church of Christ as legalist: one of the RACA WORDS.

Galatians 5 on the other hand brands the hypocritic arts and crafts--rhetoric, singing, playing, acting--as witchcraft. The Grace-Focused concept which gives them permission to sow discord is in fact consistent with branding all religious music as sorcery or witchcraft and the "performers" as gender-compromised.

Galatians 5 Music is Witchcraft and Recrucifies Christ
Not surprising, when people deny that the prophets by Christ and the prophecies made more perfect by Jesus of Nazareth, God sends them strong delusions and they are forced to believe and promote their own lies.  The MARK of such delusions is all of the performing arts intending to silence the voice of the Victim.

Strong Delusions produces lying wonders.

See Matthew 28 warning about Lying Wonders

Speaking where the Bible speaks is the only task of the ekklesia or Church of Christ.  Lifting words out of context fails to understand that the Greeks and others made human qualities into gods and goddesses. The task of God through the prophets and apostles (never kings or priests) needed to dethrone these "gods and goddesses" so that baptized believers could worship the Creator of al things and who needs nothing provided by these anti-God religious performers who do hard, self-directed work thinking that if they are pleasured then the gods must be appeased and pleasured. A Grace-centered theology and worship--without knowing it perhaps--intends to restore that which Jesus was equipped by God the Father to cast down.

This paper reviews some of the credo of the Grace Centered Magazine.  Their forums are open to various groups including the Church of Christ. However, a key moderator is not connected to the Church of Christ and snips out any Biblical and historical views which universally repudiate all of the paganism which used legalistic means such as music believing that they can enhance the views of Christ in the prophets and Jesus of Nazareth through the Apostles who left a written memory of their eye-- and ear--witness of Jesus Christ Who validated HIS teachings by supernatural signs which could not be repudiated.

To the contrary, the newly discovered "grace" means that the visions and voices of latter day "prophets" are consistent with the postmodern views of the "missional" concept which includes apostles and prophets to reveal an up to date Bible.  Flaunting and imposing creeds and imposed practices contrary to the views of those who feed them, this new "grace" gives them permission to impose instruments and deliberately sow discord: both God says He hates.

Alexander Campbell speaks for all historic scholarship prior to the rise of witchcraft in the Great Awakenings including Cane Ridge, Kentucky, Bourbon County.
The Prophets had received the Spirit by measure. By measure he was given to the Prophets--not by measure to the Son.
Note: The prophets speak of the lying pen of the Scribes and Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites which Christ the Spirit identified as preachers who speak out of their own imagination, singers and instrument players.  Jesus of Nazareth was made to be both Lord and Christ to make the godly prophets more certain: that is the only resource, says Peter, can make the Day Star arise in our heart and help us MARK those who private interpret or further expound.
They spoke not always, and not only, the words of God; but, as John explains the phrase in the preceding verse, Jesus spoke only and always the words of God. The Spirit of the context is this: "Jesus whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure to him." "To him" is a supplement, but a necessary one; else God always gives the Spirit without measure.

Paul meant such a public and sensible exhibition of it as would commend the honesty and sincerity of the heart to every man's conscience,
by "a manifestation of the Spirit" he meant such an exhibition of his presence and residence in the heart,
as would convince the understanding of all that these spiritual men,
        who professed to have received the Holy Spirit himself,
        did in truth possess that divine agent.
From all which, may it not be inferred that a person in the apostolic age, professing
        to have received the gift of the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Spirit himself,
        without a manifestation of it; or who was unable to display
        it by some unequivocal exhibition of it,
       
would have been considered either a knave or a simpleton?

John Calvin. 1.The fanatics wrongly appeal to the Holy Spirit

Those who, rejecting Scripture, imagine that they have some peculiar way of penetrating to God, are to be deemed not so much under the influence of error as madness. For certain giddy men have lately appeared, who, while they make a great display of the superiority of the Spirit,

reject all reading of the Scriptures themselves, and deride the simplicity of those who only delight in what they call the dead and deadly letter.
But I wish they would tell me
what spirit it is whose inspiration raises them to such a sublime height that they dare despise the doctrine of Scripture as mean and childish.

3.25.11 One of the absolutes of those who deliberately sow musical discord always for their own glory or profit work really hard to claim that where God has not commanded THEY have the authority to command and impose and YOU must obey without opposition or "find another church."

The also insist that God has not said anything against musical or performance "worship" which is useful to attract the wandering souls and pay off the imposed debt.

They are defined as the MYTHOS or crooked race locked into any new fad. They claim the power to appease their "god" and put more power into their acts or works of worship.

When you contrive to use Grace as a way to impose on others that which is outlawed for the assembly God sends strong delusions that you believe your own lie.  Grace personified in Jesus of Nazareth teaches us to DENY that which the GRACE fad insists on imposing.

And they at first pull back indignantly and

The Deipnosophists of Athenaeus of Naucratis Book XIII: Concerning Women

It is a fact that even in ancient times they loved boys, as Ariston has said, whence it came about that those who were loved were called "paidika." For in truth, as Clearchus says in the first book of his Love Stories, quoting Lycophronides: "Neither in boy, nor in gilded maid, nor in deep-bosomed matron is the countenance fair if it be not modest. For it is modesty that sows the seed of beauty's flower." And Aristotle also has said that lovers look to no other part of their favourite's body than the eyes, in which dwells modesty.

"O thou of fair countenance, Galateia, with golden curls and voice that charms, a beauty among the Loves!" Blind this praise is, and nothing like that which Ibycus utters: "Euryalus, scion of the blue-eyed Graces...darling of the fair-haired Muses, thee did Cypris and Persuasion of the tender eyes rear amid the flowers of the rose." And so Phrynichus said of Troilus: "There shines upon his crimson cheeks the light of love...

Theophrastus, in hs essay On Love, quotes the tragic poet Chaeremon as saying
        that just as wine is mixed to suit the character of the drinkers,
        so also is the emotion inspired by Eros;
        when he comes in moderation, he is gracious,
        but when he comes too intensely and puts men to utter confusion, he is most cruel...
        Wherefore this poet, aptly distinguishing the influences of Eros,
        says: "With two arrows (verily) from the Graces he stretches his bow,
        the one bringing a happy lot, the other, utter confounding of life."
Now this same poet speaks of lovers in the play entitled The Wounded Man as follows: "
        Who denies that lovers live at hard labour?
        Why, in the first place, they must ever be on the war-path,
        their bodies must be able to endure toil to the utmost,
        and they must be most patient in pursuing their desire;
        inventive, impulsive, eager, skilfully managing the unmanageable, in utter misery while they live!"
And Theophilus in He Liked to Play the Flute: "Who says that lovers have no sense? Surely, it must be somebody whose make-up is stupid. For if one take away from life its pleasures, there's nothing else left to do but die. Take my own case; in loving a harp-girl, a little maid, haven't I sense, in the gods' name? In beauty beautiful, in stature stately, in art clever; just to look at her is pleasanter than working for you all the time when you have the price of admission."


In truth, Scripture never defines worship other than listening to Christ through the Word which is INHERENT in the meaning of Christian or Disciple. Students ask but never tell or enhance God's Word.

And it ALWAYS provides that any person using external means of rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, acting or using of images is EXCLUDED from the assembly.

Those who are LOGOS centerd are rational or spiritual can click on the links for their own edification.

Reasonable or spiritual worship includes the method of SPEAK and the resources of the LOGOS or Word of God taught through the prophets by Christ and fulfilled by Jesus of Nazareth whom God made to be both Lord and Christ: the son never speaks on His own as the approved. Reasonable worship is defined as EXCLUSIVE of moralizing or sermonizing or versifying by those Jesus defined as Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites defined as rhetoricians, singers and instrument players.


Romans 12:1-2: Reasonable Worship uses the Word and is the opposite of poetry or music.

If the scholars tell you otherwise then know that Jesus said that doctors of the law take away the key to knowledge. Paul's definition of rational or spiritual worship absolutely is a DIRECT COMMAND against any of the "external means' which defines witchcraft or sorcery.

Paul went through the same process in Ephesians 4 to guarantee the ekklesia or school of
Christ in Ephesians 4.

The MYTHOS or crooked race will not be able to accept that God is God and they are not.


To Larry and The Lively Stoned: the pronounce anathema on ME: can pronouncing a RACA curse on people be redeemed?

Throughout the Bible musical instruments are the MARK that God has removed His grace: the speakers, singers and instrument players in Revelation 18 are called sorcerers: Anathema meaning to be predestinated to the Lake of fire. 

THE CURSE FOR CALLING FOR ANATHEMA ON PEOPLE:
Anathema and Musical Worship

Anathema is predestinated to "that crooked race" or "the race of vipers."  They live by MYTHOS out of the human imagination and by necessity are never quite up to date with the changing culture. All ceremonial legalism as the "laded burden" and the "burden laders" are to be cast alive into the lake of fire.

Anathema is predestinated to "that crooked race" or "the race of vipers."  They live by MYTHOS out of the human imagination and by necessity are never quite up to date with the changing culture. All ceremonial legalism as the "laded burden" and the "burden laders" are to be cast alive into the lake of fire. By denying that God Commands and examples godly human conduct, their inference is that they can follow the rabbit trail of mysticism.

3.20.l1. God abandoned Israel to the worship of the starry host because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai: the tribe of Levi was cursed by Jacob (Genesis 49) and he warned us NOT to attend their assemblies or join in their covenant. The gospel is to give REST from the laded burdens (religious mind-altering music). To preach the patternism of the Levites and their exorcism noise making (never called music) while they burned NOT COMMANDED goats is to preach "another gospel" based on claiming guidance from "a" spirit. This false "gospel" claims that speakers, singers, instrument players and actors ENHANCE or AID their laded burden as they claim to be a physical temple made with human hands."  Doing this at Mount Sinai was a sin beyond redemption. When you claim to be an offering in a house when God only looks at the PLACE of our human spirit, you cannot be redeemed and you must be burned.  Christ defines this in Isaiah 30 and John defines it in Revelation 18:

Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you,
        let him be accursed.
331. anathema, an-ath΄-em-ah; from 394; a (religious) ban or (concretely) excommunicated (thing or person): — accused, anathema, curse, x great.
1) a thing set up or laid by in order to be kept
a) specifically, an offering resulting from a vow, which after being consecrated to a god was hung upon the walls or columns of the temple, or put in some other conspicuous place
2) a thing devoted to God without hope of being redeemed, and if an animal, to be slain; therefore a person or thing doomed to destruction
a) a curse
b) a man accursed, devoted to the direst of woes

Luke 21:5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
Luke 21:6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

Leviticus 27:28 Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus 27:29 None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.

Joshua 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
Joshua 6:17 And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

Deuteronomy 7:25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed (anathema) thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Acts 23:14 And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Acts 23:15 Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.

Romans 9:1  I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Romans 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Romans 9:3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:


1Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
1Corinthians 16:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.


Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.

The Word or Logos-based believers are rational meaning spiritual and never try to invent or compose something to enhance or aid the Word of Christ (the Logos) specificially in the Prophets and Apostles. All churches sought to be Apostolic which is defined by the "Commands, examples and inferences" required before WE impose some additional ACT on other people.

It is made up of two words:

1. Glossa (from Strong's g1100) means "speaking in tongues" especially an unacquired one.

2. Kosmos (g2889) means the "orderly arrangement" or the "adorning" world. this is derived from (g2864 or Komizo which means "to carry off."

Kosmos (g2889) kos'-mos; prob. from the base of 2865; orderly arrangement, i.e. decoration; by impl. the world (in a wide or narrow sense, includ. its inhab., lit. or fig. [mor.]): - adorning, world.

The Levites cursed by Jacob were abandoned to carry out the work of the "lord" in the worship of the starry host for a nation sentenced to be returned to "beyond Babylon." They were dedicated to the Lord and "had no inheritance in Israel."

Apollo
in Revelation is Abaddon or Apollyon and the muses are the Locusts in John's coded message.

-Hom. Od. 1.125 Heralds poured water over their hands, and maid-servants heaped by them bread in baskets, and youths filled the bowls brim full of drink; and they put forth their hands to the good cheer lying ready before them. [150] Now after the wooers had put from them the desire of food and drink, their hearts turned to other things, to song and to dance; for these things are the crown of a feast. And a herald put the beautiful lyre in the hands of Phemius, who sang perforce among the wooers; [155] and he struck the chords in prelude2 to his sweet lay. But Telemachus spoke to flashing-eyed Athena, holding his head close, that the others might not hear: “Dear stranger, wilt thou be wroth with me for the word that I shall say? These men care for things like these, the lyre and song, [160] full easily, seeing that without atonement they devour the livelihood of another, of a man whose white bones, it may be, rot in the rain as they lie upon the mainland, or the wave rolls them in the sea. 

-Hom. Od. 21.401
A Levite musician who entered into a holy place would be sacrificed: modern musicians claim that they are dedicated to the Lord. There are several Biblical examples which prove that they will be cast alive into the lake of fire.
3. of a slave in a temple, a. poleōs devoted to this service by the city, E.Ion310.—Cf. anathema.

Any object so sacrificed or devoted to the Lord could not be redeemed (Num. 18:14; Lev. 27:28, 29); and hence the idea of exterminating was connected with the word. The Hebrew verb (haram) is frequently used of the extermination of idolatrous nations. It had a wide range of application. The anathema or herem was a person or thing irrevocably devoted to God (Lev. 27:21, 28); and "none devoted shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death" (27:29). The Hebrew word therefore carried the idea of devoted to destruction (Num. 21:2, 3; Josh. 6:17); and hence a majority of scholars have treated the word anathema similarly, generally as meaning a thing accursed. For example, in Deut. 7:26 an idol is called a herem = anathema, understood to mean a thing accursed

Sorry bout that but you will not be able to believe it: Time is short and that is why the Church of Christ thread tries to silence just quoting the Bible: music means to silence the voice of the victim.

Hebrews 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.
        For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth,
        much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Hebrews 12:26 Whose voice then shook the earth: (the trumpet sound)
        but now he hath promised, saying,
        Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

Hebrews 12:27 And this word, Yet once more,
        signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, t
        hat those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved,
       let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Christ in Isaiah 30 says that hell is prepared for God to drive His enemies into: the MARKS are wind, string and percussion instruments.
Logos versus Mythos: Word versus Music Logos (modern) is rational of the word and STRAIGHT: Mythos and Sophia (postmodern) are irrational and Gender-Confused. Mythos Nomoi (traditional law)
(a) Eros is approved, and its excesses condoned, when directed towards superior youths approaching manhood.
(b) It appears to be condemned, in so far as parents forbid their boys to hold converse with “erastae.” The explanation of this ambiguous attitude must be sought in the principle laid down above, that the moral quality of an act depends upon the conditions of its performance.
GRACE is Kharizo 2. gratify or indulge a humour or passion, 3. in erotic sense, grant favours to a man,
give up as a favour by dropping a law aimed at him,
The Grace of God--The Word--hath appeared teaching us NOT to do what people want to do and expect grace to save them so they can live like the WORLD and still deny that Jesus said that He DID NOT PRAY for the WORLD.

The Rise of the Feminine proven by using the role of the Levites as musical noise makers while "Making the God (patriarchal) silent before the slaughter." That's What Makes Granny Run. The inability to dialog with with other males is the mark.

3.07.11 Karen Armstrong, in A History of God, shows how the pagan clergy attempted to neutralize the One God Who was spoken of as male:
"God lay beyond 'gender' but, as in the Enuma Elish, each pair of emanations consisted of a male and female--a scheme which attempted to neutralize the masculine tenor of more conventional monotheism. Each pair of emanations grew weaker and more attenuated, since they were getting even further from their divine Source." (p. 95)

Speaking of the mystics, Armstrong showed how the new, gender-neutral gods are to be worshipped:

"This God is to be approached through the imagination and can be seen as a kind of art form, akin to the other great artistic symbols that have expressed the ineffable mystery, beauty and the value of life.
 
Mystics have used music, dancing, poetry, fiction, stories, painting, sculpture and architecture to express this Reality which goes beyond concepts." (P. 396)
All religious music and musicians were glad to confess and demonstrate their gender identity.
3.06.11. Can you imagine a Church of Christ Thread where all of the false teachers are ANTI-church of Christ and where posted facts are not allowed.

Norton, never coming to the knowledge of the truth. "Never once do we find in the writings of the Early Church Fathers where they took it upon themselves to write that God had forbidden IM in the church. They cite no apostles or scripture, or anyone else as saying IM in church worship is a sin. Most of the writers  being bishops, did what bishops are supposed to do. They gave their judgements on matters, not addressed by the Lord or the apostles. They said the Church did not use lifeless instruments in worship because they didn't want to be like the Jews and pagans. And of course they didn't use the "authority principle" against instruments, because that doctrine didn't appear until the Reformation. (Utterly False: Christ used it in the Prophets as the only resource for building up the church along with the apostles."
The Universal aim to be APOSTOLIC for all that we believe or practice.

Isa 8:19And when they shall say unto you,
        Seek unto them that have familiar spirits,
        and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter:
                should not a people seek unto their God?
                for the living to the dead
The familiar spirit is a dry, empty wineskin. It serves as the echo chamber of the nebel which means 'VILE.' It has the same meaning as the harp and the sounding gongs in 1 Cor. 13.
"In Isa 8:19 the 'obhoth and yidh'onim are spoken of those who 'chirp and mutter." These terms refer to the necromancers themselves who practiced ventriloquism in connection with their magical rites. In Isa 29:4 it is said 'Thy voice shall be as an 'obh, out of the ground.'... They are stamped in these passages, as in the Witch of Endor narrative, as deceivers practising a fraudulent art. By implication their power to evoke spirits with whom they were in familiar intercourse is denied." (Int Std Bible Ency., ency, p. 690)
Pȳthon ,, I. the serpent slain, according to the myth, near Delphi by Apollo, who was fabled to have been called Pythius in commemoration of this victory, Ov. M. 1, 438;

        it is because there is no light in them.


Isaiah 55 outlaws MERCHANDISING especially when it is a hostil attack on godly people.  Christ in Isaiiah 58 outlawed "speaking your own words."
I think that pretty well sums up the ANTISM of the ANTI-non-Instrumental Church of Christ.

Grace demands that I tell you that ALL church fathers who wrote on instruments or singing REPUDIATE any thing that disturbs the command to "teach that which is written."  There was never any congregational singing with organ accompaniment before the Reformation because even Simple Simon knew that NONE OF IT WAS METRICAL and could NOT be taught with music.

You can discuss this openly by clicking here and you will not be censured and censored.

Will someone tell Norton that to post something that is utterly false with the full intention of removing grace from the historic curch of christ and all churches  meets the definition of lying: John calls the false speakers, singers and instrument players SORCERERS and consigns them to the Lake of Fire along with liars. He ignores the data where I have proven that NO ONE IN HISTORY did congregational singing with instrumental accompaniment UNTIL after the Reformation when some Psalms (only) were radically rewritten and set to meter to make singing POSSIBLE and then sung only in unison as Paul defines in Romans 15. So all of the
ANTI-church of Christ agents deliberately lie and will not accept correction just because someone APPROVES of their spiritual terrorism.


All literate scholarship understood that God "turned Israel over to worship the starry hosts." The slaughter and burning of innocent goats (cappellas) was part of that Canaanite-Babylonianism. Christ in the PROPHETS (Only) repudiated the king, kingdom, temple, animal sacrifices and the use of instruments "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."

That is the same reason the Bible readers did not kill innocent animals or burnt offerings: Christ said God had not COMMANDED sacrifices or offerings. They did not make music for congregational worship! NOT ONCE: it was called noise and was exorcism or soothsaying.

They also understood that Israel's use of the Military Levites to make noise in making war against the innocent and at the not-commanded Temple was called ABANDONMENT and not a "worship ceremony."

TUNEFUL SINGING WAS NOT KNOWN: NONE OF THE BIBLE IS METRICAL: WERE  COMMANDED TO SPEAK "THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING." THEREFORE, IT WAS NEVER POSSIBLE TO SING IN A MUSICAL SENSE: SO MARK IT DOWN AS GRACELESS LIES INTENDING TO DEPRIVE OTHERS OF GRACE.

"Before the establishment of the kingdom under Saul, it was the women who, as in every young civilization, played a major part in the performance of music. Such figures as Miriam, Deborah, Jephthah's daughter, and the women hailing the young hero David have become almost archetypes of female musicians.

"Characteristic of all these cases is the familiar picture of a female chorus, dancing and singing, accompanied by frenzied drum-beating.

This is the scene known to the entire Near East, and not"even the severe rule of Islam could wholly suppress this age-old practice." (Int Dict of the Bible, Music, p. 457).

4th Century: From Ephraim the Syrian and Aphrahat the Persian Sage

To Ephraim pertains the high and unique distinction
        of having originated-
        or at least given its living impulse to-
        a new departure in sacred literature;
        and that, not for his own country merely, but for Christendom.

From him came, if not the first idea, at all events the first successful example,
        of making song an essential constituent of public worship,
        and an exponent of theological teaching;
        and from him it spread and prevailed through
        the Eastern Churches, and affected even those of the West.

From a few lines of Proba's work can be seen the problems with this approach: little of what was created could justifiably be placed alongside the great works of the past, and since that was an implicit target the failure to meet it was embarrassing;

        more pressingly, such Christianisations
        did not appeal to the highly educated,
        who preferred to read the imitated originals,


and did not appeal to Christians who would not otherwise have read the originals, who needed something written to their own culture and not to that of a past elite.


The history is absolute: music was performed by and appealed only to the lower classes: that is why Jesus consigned the pipers, singers and dancers" to the marketplace where all things were SOLD.

THEODORET
" Theodoret of Cyrus or Cyrrhus c. 393 c. 457) 107 . Question: If songs were invented by unbelievers to seduce men, but were allowed to those under the law on account of their childish state, why do those who have received the perfect teaching of grace in their churches still use songs, just like the children under the law?

Answer:
It is not simple singing that belongs to the childish state, but singing with lifeless instruments, with dancing, and with clappers. Hence the use of such instruments and the others that belong to the childish state is excluded from the singing in the churches, and simple singing is left." (Theodoret, a bishop of Cyrhus in Syria, Questions and Answers for the Orthodox)

SO, Norton and all of the ANTIS deliberately make up stuff because such hate is allowed or encouraged.

Norton is invited to post where where no one wins by censure and censoring

THE CREED OF TRITHISM OR POLYTHEISM

While "interpreting" the Nicene Creed using the usual isolated proof texts, their Creed is NOT that of NICEA.

The Nicene Creed was forced into existence by Constantine to stop the warfare between groups: the sould purpose was to refute Arius.

3.04.11 The Grace Centered Magazine's Creed includes their radical modification of the Nicene Creed which does not recognize God as THREE PEOPLE all with their own centers of conscience: this is called blasphemy and John says that if you deny that
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord and Christ.
You deny that there is One God the father in heaven and one Lord Jesus made to be Lord and Christ on earth.
Rom. 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,
        separated unto the gospel of God,
Rom. 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom. 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,
        which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom. 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,
        according to the spirit of holiness,
        by the resurrection from the dead:
2.28.11 A question was asked about the slaying of 3000 men in Exodus 32.  I posted the CAUSE of this fall and God taking their name out of the book of life.  God had saved Israel by pure grace but they sat down to eat and ROSE UP TO PLAY.  The facts about this fatal fork in the role is not something the massed multitude wants to hear or WILL even read.  That hatred of Exodus 32 is not something restricted to one or another sects.

The PLAY was PLAYING with musical instruments and playing with one another: this happens in a virtual way in all recorded history about people whose view of their "god" lets them fall into juvenile singing, clapping, playing instruments and dancing or body gyrating.

Because of this terminal sin God turned the Israelites over to worship the starry host: (Acts7) that is the PATTERNISM for all music in the School of Christ with 2 Chronicles 29 being the text they used to say that God commands instrumental praise and we (YOU) had better not oppose it.

There are many Old Testament explanations of this terminal fall from Grace including Acts 7, Romans 1, 1 Corinthians 10 and others.

Exodus 32 says that using MUSIC which can only be entertaining to the "worshipers" is the MARK which can never be erased.


3.01.11


In Exodus 31 God warned against letting loose or lose custody of singing, playing and being entertained when the assembly was Called.
    In Exodus 32 the people depending on God's SILENCE to permit their IMAGINATION rose up to play in musical Idolatry.
In Deuteronomy 31 Moses defined SONGS as to be SPOKEN for instruction from God (only):
In Deuteronomy 32 in the SECOND LAW the musical idolatry was repeated.
  1. Individuals are Disciples (only) of Christ (only) and only when the elders SPEAK and teach that which has been taught.
  2. It is logical that the doctors of the Law whom Jesus said "take away the key to knowledge" insist that God DOES not speak: rather "a" spirit tells them that they can fabricated their own Commands, Examples and Necessary Inferences IF you want to be their disciple.
  3. If your shepherds fail to warn you and you FALL into the Devil's trap (His children speak on their OWN) you will never get up.
  4. God abandoned the Israelites to be destroyed by their own people and sentenced the rest to "worship the starry host."
Deut 31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them,
        that this song shall testify against them as a witness;
        for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed:
        for I know their imagination which they go about,
        even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
  • All false teachers who claim that a "spirit" gives them the authority to speak and impose where God has been silent.
  • That is proof that they cannot read and just make laughingstocks of themselves and their disciples.
  • Paul said of the Corinthians that fools love to be fooled because they have no love for the truth.
  • They will hurt you in more ways you can imagine if you tamper with "god's anointeds."
  • God says that no human has the wisdom to ADD to the Word of God:

Those who have so fallen follows many recorded patterns and you should be advised that they will hurt you if you cross them.

Grace Centered Magazine says that there is nothing in the New Testament which says "There is nothing in the NT saying that we must have authorization for everything done in the assemblly or in expessing praise to God. Those who preach that there is, are preaching from Reformation creeds instead of Scripture."

In the Exodus 32 paper I have quoted some Exodus 31: the Israelites REFUSED to listen to the voice of God and while He was commanding them to KEEP the Sabbath meaning to KEEP it from musical idolatry or play, the people working from SILENCE decided to perform a musical worship service without ANY message from God.

Norton believes the false statement of others that Calvin invented the Regulative Principle which states that you need Bible authority for what you do.  However, a Bible reader can find the CENI throughout the Bible and recorded history IF they need a law to make them reverent before God.

Christ said just the opposite and HE died to give us the Word FREE OF CHARGE and I suspect that He was manly enough not to shut people's mouths.

  • Disciples have obeyed the Gospel and been baptized
  • Only Disciples can be called Christians.
  • Christians as disciplle will not accept any dogma imposed on them if Jesus Christ has not commanded it.

A Disciple as baptized is a Christian: Christians undersand WHO has the authority which is AFTER THE LAW OF MOSES and is therefore not legalism.

Discipulus A learner, scholar, pubil, disciple, a learner in an art or trade, an APPRENTICE, a disciple of Christ.

A disciple is not a WORSHIPER in the "ceremonial legalism sense" which is IMPOSING the Law of David who did not teach the Law of Moses.

A Disciple does nothing as defined by the world as WORSHIP. Worship implies that YOU have something of value to God which appeases Him, pleasures Him or makes sure that He will not turn on you.  A Disciple understands that the Direction-of-information-flow is FROM Christ TO His disciples.

Jay Guin of The Progressive Church of Christ has a new attempt to justify instrumental noise in the School of Christ.

Instrumental Music in the Old Testament: Part 3 (Worship): All of what seems to be condemnation of instruments as telling God to shut up are explained as "just a bad mental attitude."

The Progressive Church of Christ wants to reject the historic beliefs of the Church of Christ and also get control of their property. That is the Biblical and historic definition of a HERETIC or SECTARIAN: one who uses force to choose your property for their own. The Heretic in Greece was the slaughter priest who "lifted them up to cut their throuts."  The instrumentalists who "made the lambs dumb before the slaughter were called PARASITES. 

Review of the Grace-Centered treatment of Baptism 2.25.10

GCMF Forum: "101 reasons why baptism does not save."

If Jesus said that the obedience in baptism of a believer SAVES then we have to tell the truth.

When people post Biblical and historical evidence which has Jesus, Paul and Peter saying that BAPTISM saves, the respons is often: "therefore, because YOU do not agree YOU are passing judgment and as falsely charged:

Accusation:
You said someone was under the control of Lucifer just because they disagreed with you. Personal attacks like that will just get you permanently banned. That is a blatant violation of the rules, and has happened numerous times. Last chance

Of of course that is a flat lie.  

What I have posted in response to the Credo of "101 reasons why baptism does not save."

QUOTING CHRIST IN THE PROPHETS IS NOT REFERRING TO LUCIFER. The true adversary is "he that believeth not" and is therefore "baptized not" and therefore damned.

Isaiah from the Dead Sea Scrolls: The eunuch was reading this when he heard about Jesus as the Messiah. He wanted to be baptized immediately. Those of faith will never haggle with Jesus Christ because they are not of faith and not because "Lucifer made them do it."

Paul warned about women getting involved in religious rituals or effeminate males:

Lucian noted that "no sacrifices were offered in Delos without round dances and the playing of flutes and the lyre. (Lucian De saltations 16)The eloborate musical embellishment of ritual in the cult of Apollo at Delphi and Delos was the reason for the choice of this deity as the parton of singers and poets. The playing of flute, syrinx, and lyre is further attested for a special rite of sacrifice in use in greek worship since earliest times..

Lucian could be describing the attempt of Jezebel's prophetesses when he described the priests of Cybele or Galloi.

"The unfortunate people mutilate themselves and beat each other on the back. A great crowd standing nearby accompanies them with flute music, the clashing of cymbals or the ecstatic singing of holy songs.

All this occurs, however, outside the temple.
Those who are occupied with such actions do not go inside.

In these days the number of the Galloi is increasing. For when the others play the flute and celebrate their orgies the frenzy falls on many who have come only as spectators.

A young man seized by this madness rips the clothing from his body and dashes into the middle with a loud cry and, snatching one of the swords that stands ready for just such a purpose, he castrates himself." (Lucian, De Dea Syria 50)

See Gregory Nazianzen Oration XXXIX to see the absolute musical worship and abnormal sexual connection which Paul identifies in Galatians 5.

Baptism promises us A holy spirit or A good conscience, consciousness or a co-perception of the word.  Paul told the Jews in Corinth that they had been made deaf at Mount Sinai and would not be able to read BLACK text on BROWN paper until they turned, converted or were baptized into Christ.

If you refuse and rebel or "believeth not" you will be devoured by the Scribes and Pharisees Jesus called hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33 version hypocrites are for-hire ORATORS, singers and instrument players. Even if they could speak the truth you would not be able to READ or HEAR the Word being PREACHED by being READ each rest day.

Jesus spoke of the COMMON TREASURY "collection plate" which was the:

Gazophulakion (g1049) gad-zof-oo-lak'-ee-on; from 1047 and 5438; a treasure-house, i.e. a court in the temple for the collection-boxes: - treasury

And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the market places, Mark 12:38

And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Mark 12:39

Which devour widows houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. Mark 12:40

To devour is the Greek:
2719. katesthio, kat-es-thee΄-o; from 2596 and 2068 (including its alternate); to eat down, i.e. devour (literally or figuratively)

To be consumed is:
355. analisko, from the alternate of 138; properly, to use up, i.e. destroy:  consume. 138 is the word heresy.  Having the same meaning as aresko or SELF-pleasure Paul consigned to the marketplace in Romans 14 and outlawed when he defined the assembly or synagogue in Romans 15.

42. airo, ah΄-ee-ro; a primary root; to lift up; by implication, to take up or away; figuratively, to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind), lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up).

-Aeiro, raise up, instruments or machinery in the theater, to bear a burden, raise a tax, exhalt, passion and pride, excite, raise UP by praise, exaggerate, lift up to remove, raise up  a cheer,  ai. mēkhanēn, in the theatre, Antiph.191.15; so “epi tas mēkhanas katapheugousi theous airontes” 4. take up and bear, as a burden, “moron” A.Pers.547; “athlon” S.Tr.80; “algos” A.R.4.65. esp. of pride and passion, exalt, excite, hupsou ai. thumon grow excited, S.OT914;

1 Corinthians 6.[15] Don't you know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

An approved example in the definition:
Aristophanes, Knights 507 
Had one of the old authors asked me to mount this stage to recite his verses, he would not have found it hard to persuade me. But our poet of to-day is likewise worthy of this favour; Often enough had he triumphed over his rivals; he had sung in all keys, played the lyre and fluttered wings; he turned into a Lydian and even into a gnat, daubed himself with green to become a frog. All in vain! When young, you applauded him; [525] in his old age you hooted and mocked him, because his genius for raillery had gone.

Those having been taken captive in such a cult will defend their captor to the death.

JESUS MAKING THAT PROPHECY MORE PERFECT.

Mark 16:15 And he said unto them,
        Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved;
        but he that believeth not shall be damned

I didn't say that: Lucifer didn't say that: Christ in the Prophets and Jesus who made the prophecies more perfect.

Isaiah is the prophecy by Christ. "if you refuse and rebel" is the same as "he that believeth not" whichis the Greek Apistos.  Christ says those who rebel are traitors: I didn't say that but the masses of people who are CALLED will not be of the few CHOSEN which means "tested and selected."

The usual theology is that Mark 16 does not say that "he that believeth not and IS NOT baptizedshall be damned."  However, the Greek Apostos or "believeth not" has the same meaning as verse 23 above: If you REFUSE and REBEL you will be damned.
 
The typical Scribal or "doctor of the law" method is to look up all of the "saved" words and use them to force the Bible and all early history to lie.

The people "believeth not" what Noah preached. Believeth not means to be DISOBEDIENT.

1 Pet. 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient,
apeith-eō , Att. form of api^theō (though even Trag. preferred apisteō, q.v. 11), A. to be disobedient, refuse compliance

Apisteo

2 Timothy 2.[12] If we endure, We will also reign with him.
        If we deny him, He also will deny us
2 Timothy 2.[13] If we are faithless,
        He remains faithful. He can't deny himself.

        when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
         while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is,
         eight souls were saved by water.

Baptism is imitating that event which is a "pattern capable of being imitated."

1 Pet. 3:21 The like figure (Antitupon or Antitype counterpart) whereunto
..even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
..but the answer of [Appeal FOR not PLEDGE] a good conscience toward God,)
..by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have
obeyed from the heart that form
          (
tupos a model for imitation) of doctrine
which was delivered you. Ro 6:17
 
But now being
 
made free from sin, and
 
become servants to God, ye
 
have your fruit unto holiness, and
 
the end everlasting life. Ro 6:22

2 Thess 3:9 Not because we have not power,
        but to
make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.

Anti (g473) an-tee'; a prim. particle; opposite, i.e. INSTEAD or because of (rarely in addition to): - for, in the room of. Often used in composition to denote contrast, requital, SUBSTITUTION, correspondence, etc.

  1. We are baptized by GRACE instead of having to build an Ark or drown
  2. We are baptized by GRACE instead of having to cross the Red Sea or be destroyed by FAITH ONLY when God said "Quit whining, lift up your arm and MOVE into the jaws of death.
  3. We are baptized by GRACE instead of having to be pinned on a stake and shed OUR blood.

When you have to EXPLAIN AWAY what the text MAKES CLEAR you may have exhausted God's Grace.

Tupos (g5179) too'-pos; from 5180; a die (as struck), i.e. (by impl.) a stamp or scar; by anal. a shape, i.e. a statue, (fig.) style or resemblance; spec. a sampler ("type"), i.e. a model (for imitation) or instance (for warning): - en- (ex-) ample, fashion, figure, form, manner, pattern, print.

Maybe YOU can be SAVED without the REMISSION OF SINS (connected only to baptism) but I DON'T THINK you can go into the Most Holy Place wearing DIRTY CLOTHES.  Paul says we are saved BY FAITH when we are BAPTIZED to be CLOTHED with Christ. Then we have A holy spirit translated into heaven WHEN we are added to the CHURCH which is AFTER we have been baptized.

To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all,
... and to the Spirits of just men made perfect, Heb 12:23

They challenge: No, God saved these people and obedience was not demanded.  Did God force them to DISOBEY? No. They lost themselves because they were disobedient.  They were saved by water because that was the instrumental means that God choose.  Grace teaches and provides the means: there is no grace to those who deny that Christ has any power to bestow in baptism.

FAITH means NOT arguing with God! They were saved IN the Ark and saved BY the Water because THAT is how God planned to do it. If Noah had whinned, we would ALL be Cainites or Kenites who DID survive the flood.

We also quoted Jesus calling those who did not comply with "he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" He calls APISTOS.  Based on Jesus' words this is a public confession which says I WILL NOT COMPLY WITH ANYTHING other than your grace and my faith.

I assuredly did not say anything that Jesus did not say: Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: in the Ezekiel 33 version Christ named rhetoricians, singers and instrument players. Music from mystery means "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter" or "to silence the voice of the victim" and was therefore called "sacred violence." God HIDES Himself from the wise or SOPHISTS including speakers, singers, instrument players, actors and all of the hypocritic arts and crafts.

Woe unto you, lawyers for ye have taken away the key of knowledge:
         ye
entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. Lu.11:52

And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
       
justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. Luke 7:29
        But the
Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves,
        being not baptized of him. Luke 7:30

Grace 101a does not mean that I claim people are under the power of Lucifer because they disagree with ME.  Rejected has the same meaning as "believeth nor" or Apistos which brings on wrath. I am posting the links for those who want to be saved from "believeth nots"

Being baptizes is the CHRIST ORDAINED way to "justify" God: God has the authority to save and the authority to say how.  If you question baptism you say to God that He does NOT have any authority over your life.

Those who refused to be baptized say that God HAS NO RIGHT to demand that they be baptized.  The meaning is the same as Apistos or "believeth not."

Of course, they were saved by GOD but not WITHOUT faith, obedience, getting into the COFFIN (not a boat) covered with blood-red bitumen inside and out, and was high and dry while the OLD MAN OF SIN was drowned. Remember that Peter said SAVE YOURSELVES from this CROOKED GENERATION. That points to the perverted skolion new wineskinners.

They were saved BY the Water because the water DROWNED "sin" and lifted them OUT or ABOVE the waters which drown.

Baptism is like God, the Ark and the Water: it was given POWER by Faith which worked. God's power is always VESTED in something.

Heb 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet,

        and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

It is true, Baptism is the SEAL that Christ has given us A holy spirit and at the same time condemns those who refuse to comply or "believeth not."

Were the enemies of Christ right after all: A late article claims that Jesus drank wine. That, of course, would disqualify Him to be both High Priest and king. Fred Peatross proposes that Jesus was a party kind of guy.  Grace teaches us to DENY what the new definition of grace almost demands.

See The Progressive Church of Christ.

Scripture uses words like GRACE as pointers and then defines true grace as the power to be conformed to God's Will. Grace is derived from Chara which as Charis or Charismatic means giving homosexual favors.  Jesus of Nazareth whom God made to be both Lord and Christ also bears the name  Word and Grace: Grace personified teaches us NOT to do those things the pagan Graces performed in pagan religion.

Discussed at Grace Centered Forum but rebuttal blacklisted. Therefore, I have posted a growing review.  

In very clear text, Ephesians 4 gave gifted leaders to make certain that none of those performing arts and artists are allowed to participate. Only the, can the ekklesia or synagogue be conducted: in this chapter Paul is inclusive and exclusive as a pattern.

IN PROPHECY BY THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST:

Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me,
        The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace;
        and they say unto every one that walketh
        after the imagination of his own heart,
        No evil shall come upon you.

ISAIAH AS REPEATED BY PAUL

Jesus said that God HIDES Himselve (very well, thank you) from the Wise: the Sophists they didn't know in preacher factory.

1Cor. 1:19 For it is written, I will DESTROY the wisdom of the WISE,
        and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Cor. 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe?
        where is the disputer of this world?
        hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Cor. 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God
        the world by wisdom knew not God,
        it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe.

WHY?

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: The Word EDIFY means EDUCATE: Romans 15 says you speak "that which is written" using one MIND and one MOUTH to educate.

CHURCH MUST NEVER PERMIT PEOPLE CLAIMING TO NAVIGATE THE WINDS
Hermes appears to have been the chief of the Cabiri (Roscher, Myth. Lex. 2360); with his cult compare the Gallic (Caesar, B. G. vi. 17; Rhys, Hibbert Lectures, pp. 5-20 and ch. iv) and German (Tac. Germ. 9) worship of Mercurius. The latter, Odin, would seem to be like Hermes a wind god, and this may be true also of the Thracian deity. It seems improbable that the Thracians were content with so small a pantheon.
CHURCH MUST EXCLUDE ALL OF THE CUNNING CRAFTSMEN.

        by that which every joint supplieth,
        according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
        maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.


In Romans 15 edifying is defined as the use of "Scripture" or "that which is written for our learning."

In Romans 14 Paul outlawed doubtful disputations which means any personal opinion or diversity: that then permits what Paul called the synagogue to function as a School of Christ in the Word which is its sole purpose.

Rom. 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak,
        and not to please ourselves.
Rom. 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
Rom. 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
        The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
        that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you
        to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Rom. 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God,
        even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom. 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Rom. 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God,
           to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Eph. 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord,
        that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,
        in the vanity of their mind,

Eph. 4:18 Having the understanding darkened,
        being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them,
        because of the blindness of their heart:

Eph. 4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness,
        to work all uncleanness with greediness.

”Pindar, work unknownThese words, it seems to me, are but an imitation of Homer's1 account of the Sirens. Neither did I find the accounts agree of the way this temple disappeared. Some say that it fell into a chasm in the earth, others that it was melted by fire.




7. ON THE STATUE OF ORPHEUS

On Helicon25 – the spot is a shaded precinct sacred to the Muses – near the torrent of the river Olmeius and the violet-dark spring of Pegasus, there stood beside the Muses a statue of Orpheus, the son of Calliope, a statue most beautiful to look upon. For the bronze joined with art to give birth to beauty, indicating by the splendour of the body the musical nature of the soul. It was adorned by a Persian tiara26 spangled with gold and rising high up from the head, and a chiton hanging from the shoulders to the feet was confined at the breast by a golden belt.

The hair was so luxuriant and so instinct with the spirit of life as to deceive the senses into thinking it was being tossed and shaken by gusts of wind – for the hair behind on the neck fell free down the back, while the parted hair which lay above the eyebrows gave full view o the pure glance of the eyes. The sandal shone brightly with yellowest of gold, and a robe fell ungirded down the back to the ankle;
        and he was carrying the lyre,
        which was equipped with as many notes as the number of the Muses.
For the bronze even acted the part of strings and, being so modified as to imitate each separate note,
        it obediently carried out the DECEIT,
      almost indeed becoming vocal and producing the very sound of the notes. Beneath his feet heaven was not represented nor the Pleiades coursing the aether nor the revolving Bear that “has no part in the baths of Oceanus,” 27
        but there was every kind of bird,
        brought under the spell of the singing,28
        and all beasts of the mountains
        and whatever feeds in the recesses of the sea,
        and a horse stood entranced, held in control,
        not by a bridle, but by the music,
        and a bull, having abandoned its pasturage,
        was listening to the strains of the lyre, and lions by nature fierce were being lulled to sleep in response to its harmony. You could see the bronze taking on the shape of rivers flowing from their sources toward the singing,29 and a wave of the sea raising itself aloft for love of the song, and rocks being smitten with the sensation of music, and every plant in its season hastening from its usual abode towards the music of Orpheus30; and though there was nothing that gave out a sound or roused the lyre’s harmony, yet art made manifest in all the animals the emotions excited by their love of music, and cursed their pleasure to be visible in the bronze, and in a wonderful manner expressed the enchantment that springs up in the sense-perceptions of the animals.

Or does it strike you differently? I asked.
