Koma or Coma is also INDUCED by musical instruments: the enemies of Christ use music from mystery Purpose Driven to Make the Lambs Dumb before the slaughter. The Jewish musicians were prophesied and fulfilled the MUSICAL MOCKING OF JESUS.

Plutarch also wrote defining why Paul SILENCED both the ODE and PSALLO in Ephesus when Antony visited:
XXIV. But when he was once come into Asia, having left Lucius Censorinus governor in Greece, and that he had felt the riches and pleasures of the east parts, and that princes, great lords, and kings, came to wait at his gate for his coming out: and that queens and princesses, to excel one another, gave him very rich presents,
and came to see him, curiously setting forth themselves,
and using all art that might be to shew their beauty,
to win his favour the more (Caesar in the mean space turmoiling [troubling] his wits and body
in civil Wars at home,
Antonius living merrily and quietly abroad), he easily fell again to his old licentious life.

he brought with him out of Italy),
all these flocked in his court, and bare the whole sway: and after that all went awry.
For every one gave themselves to riot and excess, when they saw he delighted in it: and all Asia was like to the city Sophocles speaketh of in one of his tragedies:

| John 17:14 I have given them
thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 2Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. |
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. Christ the Spirit spoke through the Prophets. If you command what He has not commanded you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit of Christ Your own imagination is evil |
Jesus doesn't pray for the WORLD: that is the Kosmos or adorning world of ancient paganism. Jesus said that God HIDES Himself from the wise: the wise are the sophists meaning speakers, singers and instrument players who use deception to steal your church and soul

A common lie is that the Church Fathers had nothing bad to say about the use of instruments based on Scripture. We have refuted that to prove that NO ONE used instruments in the churches but refute the Jews who did because they had been abandoned to Canaanite Baalism or the worship of the starry host.

Max Lucado Repudiates Faith, Repentance, Confession, Baptism |
Oak Hills Church of Christ Max Lucado Beliefs
1.04.11
Christ the Spirit spoke through the Prophets
Jesus of Nazareth made these prophecies more perfect
Jesus said "my WORDS are Spirit and Life."
To speak out of your own imagination while pretending to speak for Christ is defined as blasphemy.
If someone gets a vision to add instruments
When Christ repudiates them in the prophets and never commanded them
Is that not blasphemy:
Max Lucado was instrumental in a well-financed and power-packed with celebrity preachers determined to restructure the Church of Christ by diverting them into the Christian Church and used by agents of the NACC who motived and fed them all of the false teachings about music and worship. Interesting, since none of God's faithful ever "sang congregationally with instrumental accompaniment." They are diverting people into the Babylonianism or Canaanite Baalism to which God abonded Israel BECAUSE of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. Even then no instruments were used for sacrifices--but outlawed for the synagogue or church in the wilderness--until the elders fired God and demanded a king like the nations (Goyim or Gentile pagans) and God knew that they wanted to worship like the pagans. He solemnly warned them and then finally loosed them selecting the kings to carry out the captivity and death sentence.
This began as a small circle of friends seemingly pledged "not to eat" until they had destroyed peaceable churches of Christ who--under that name--never used instruments in their history. Delusions such as the Tulsa Workshop, the 'unity meetings" and the Jubilee were certain to turn all "rotten and conservative" churches of Christ into 'new style' worship which was from old style Babylon.
So far, I think it fair to say that the only DIVERTED churches into some instrumental use are the ONES led by the original agents of sowing discord. Those churches have suffered great discord, family division and some financial losses. Therefore, I believe that Jesus Christ has flatly repudiated them and held them in RESERVE for burning times. That is the meaning of the locusts in Revelation who were Apollo or Apollyon's muses whom John calls SORCERERS.
If we seem harsh then vote with those who twist all known Scripture with the deliberate plan massive discord: to RULE or RUIN.

I am adding some narrative as background to the END-TIME destruction of Christ the Word of the "father's" mouth now replaced with Just- Jesus. Any doctrinal views you once held from the OUTDATED Bible now must be replaced by latter day Prophets (profits), Channelers and facilitators. Neither faith, repentance, confession nor baptism is now related to salvaiton: it is just Jesus or recognizing God in creation and calling him "father." The actual reviews of Lucado's false teaching is further down the page. All blue links help tell the NARRATIVE THEOLOGY of Max Lucado and his disciples.
God in Jesus Christ came to rescue the tiny remnant of people able to hear Him by faith revealed in the only document which defines the Christian System. Those who are able to live in a spirit dimension prove it by being baptized into Christ and worshiping God in the PLACE of the human spirit swept clean by God.
The Jews worked 5 days a week and the FIRST and SEVENTH were often days of REST. Within the travel limits they held HOLY CONVOCATIONS. This includes the idea of the synagogue which "had no praise service" and rehearsing of READING the Word of God which was available. Ministers, propets or priests were excluded because they were part of the LAW OF MOSES which had been added because of musical idolatry.
Jesus Christ issued a direct command to SEAL those who were loyal to Him. The Just-Jesus meaning Anti-Christ heresy lays claim to being Jesus. The FORM of the PATTERN extablished by Jesus was identified by Mark as the MOST IMPORTANT or beginning point which meanst BAPTISM by John and the Disciples of Jesus.
Jesus died that we might have the TRUE REST the Jews never had. He endorsed the twos or threes which would gather with him. He said "come learn of me."
# BAPTISM INCLUDES THE FREE, TRUE GOSPEL MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL NATIONS--FOR A WITNESS Scripture says that those rejecting baptism are treacherous: they call Jesus Christ a liar.
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: Ga.1:4
Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to TAKE OUT of them a PEOPLE for his NAME. Acts 15:14
Rubel Shelly led by Max Lucado teaches that we should become AS MUCH LIKE the Word as possible in order to win the world. But the WORLD is the domain of Satan.
Jesus told all of the apostles to baptize IN ORDER TO the remission of sins. Paul associates the faith of Abraham with baptism.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16The word BELIEVETH includes OBEDIENCE: Baptism was the natural response for those whom Jesus was taking out of this evil world where the Lucifer Principle is Commerce or TRAFFICK.
"BELIEVETH NOT" means that they disobeyed by rejecting baptism.
Apisteo (g569) means to be unbelieving, meaning to disobey
Apistos (g571) disbelieving, i.e. without Christian faith, a heathen, untrustworthy (person), faithless, infidel.Those who REJECTED the Baptism of John and the disciples of Jesus are identified as:
Atheteo (g114) means to DISESTEEM, neutralize or VIOLATE, cast off, DESPISE, disannul, frustrate, bring to nought, reject. It means a TREACHEROUS PERSON. The same as Kategoros an accuser, a BETRAYER.
The theme of the group from whom Jesus " might deliver us from this present evil world," identifies themselves following
# Rubel Shelly's advice to "be as much LIKE the world as possible to win the WORLD." Since the WORLD is ruled by Satan, the Kosmokraetor, YOU should try to escape if it is not too late.
But, Jesus sent TRUE EVANGELISTS to rescue people out of the world: not build a venue for Rock and Roll.
THERE IS NO EXCEPTION "MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS FOR RELIGION WERE INVENTED BY DEMI-GODS" TO SEDUCE PEOPLE AWAY FROM GOD'S WORD. Why would people use to "stand in the holy place" that which has a history of religious prostitutes and sodomites?
See Farmer's Branch deliberate use of NAGAN as authority for their Keeping the Sabbath unholy with instrumental music. Nagan is almost identical to Chalal which translates to "steal your inheritance, play the flute, pollute and prostitute." It is about the same as HALAL or praise which is the source of the word LUCIFER.
I am not getting personal but history knows no excepton to the rule that singers and musicians were agents of Lucifer, the harp-playing prostitute as the king of Tyre, Babylon and the end time Babylon harlot church of Revelation 18. The BEAST is a PAN CHARACTER whose HORNS were the PAN PIPES. Pan was the bisexual Alpha Male or Top Billy Goat of the mountain. While Satan or Zoe or Lucifer is POINTING you to some war of the words, they are assualting you as LUCIFER or ZOE who was the harp-playing prostitute even in the garden of Eden. The message of Pan includes his HORNS which are musical instruments:
Keras or HORN means means POWER but music has always been Satan's way of gaining power by ascending up above the Word of God:
2. of musical instruments, a horn for blowing, Xen.: a flute, Luc.
3. a drinking-horn, Xen.keras (horns of the perverted Pan musicians) who LOOK TO THE HILLS
1. BOW, toxon enôma
2. of MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS, horn for BLOWING, sęmęnai tôi kerati also, the Phrygian FLUTE, because it was tipped with horn
6. mountainpeak, extremities of the earthKero-batęs [a^], ou, ho, ( [keras]) HORN-FOOTED, hoofed, kerobatas PAN Ar.Ra.230 (lyr.): acc. to some Gramm., he that GOES with HORNS, i.e. the HORNED GOD; acc. to Sch., he that WALKS the MOUNTAIN-PEAKS (cf. keras v.6).
Those touched by Apollo and the Muses compose and sing praise of the gods. Sons of Apollo by a Muse are Linos and Orpheus.
Other divinities also bear a relationship to music.# Hermes invented the lyre and gave it to Apollo, retaining the syrinx for himself and his son Pan as shepherd gods.
Dionysos' connection with music is less specific than Apollo's, but still he is ranked as inventor of the dithyramb. Music is more important among his followers, the satyrs and maenads; it was the latter who tore to pieces the unfortunate Apollonian singer Orpheus.
Among the Greeks the dance of gods, Muses, nereids, and nymphs is often mentioned and depicted along with music. Particular importance is attributed to the singing or instrument-playing sirens as the "Muses of the other world."
"Their home is thought of as located in Hades, as well as in space. In their role as singing guides of souls they are associated with death. Originally in the form of animals (birds), they came to assume human shape. A [Page 269, Volume 3] related notion is documented in Book XII of the Odyssey: the sirens as death-bringing singing monsters. Their function as musical soul-guides is transferred to the angels in Christianity.
Their function is connected to the LOCUSTS.
That is why people are urged to
# LOOK TO THE HILLS. Cute, but deadly. The Psalmists didn't issue a direct command for PATTERNISM. Rather, he ASKED, "Shall we look to the hills? NO." The Jews put their trust in the MOUNTAIN GODS and that was the source of the naked dance of David after he could not return to Gibeon as the place of God's presence. He "rose up to PLAY" identical to the terminal sin at Mount Sinai. Samson "ground in the king's house": he DID NOT grind wheat! He played or rose up to play or made himself VILE as David boasted of his excursions with the camp follower slaves. ZOE as in the ZOE group is used to facilitate changing the church from A School of the Bible to a "theater for holy entertainment." Zoe was known as the BEAST and the FEMALE INSTRUCTING PRINCIPLE. She was the mother and sister of Jehovah whom she forced to form Musical Worship Teams before he could ASCEND up to the seventh heaven but still below the TRUE god.
Baal (Hadad) is regularly denominated "the son of Dagan." He is "Rider of the Clouds," "Almighty," and "Lord of the Earth." He is the god of the thunderstorm (blowing the winds of change), the most vigorous and aggressive of the gods. Baal resides on Mount Zaphon, north of Ugarit. Those who LOOKED TO THE HILLS were Baal worshipers. The MARZEAH or religious festival condemned by Amos:
# Amos defined by the BAAL CYCLE. This mountain was clearly to the Canaanites what Olympus was to the Greeks; it was not only the dwelling place of Baal but the site of the assembly of the gods.
Baal or Adon (Adonai) was a phallic god. "Who shall ascend unto the hill (the high place) of the Lord; who shall stand in the place of his Kadushu (q.v.)?" (Psalms xxiv. 3.) [meaning religious prostitutes and sodomites]
The "circle-dance" performed by King David round the ark, was the dance prescribed by the Amazons in the Mysteries,
the dance of the daughters of Shiloh (Judges xxi., et seq.)
and the same as the leaping of the prophets of Baal (I. Kings xviii).
Here is the picture of PAN whos "horns" in Revelation were musical instruments. If you are offended by me outing the history of "religious music" you should be offended by the FEMINIST dogma which Caroll D. Oburn seems to see as a slow conversion by "little acts of treason." It all fits the end-time prophecy.
Pan
and the homosexual gods and SEEKERS roamed the
mountains looking for an EXCITING worship experience. Did you
know that the horns are "musical instruments " related to the
pan pipe.? He was the little perverted half goat with literal
horns pipe and phallic power searching for male companionship.
"mountains or kingdoms looking hills which means using
theatrical performance (the homosexual stigmata mark ) lead
people worship mountain gods from whom their help comes. It is
important that all charismaic of musical performance is
related to paganism where "worship" was a sexual experience.
Music was and is one of the most powerful inducers of an
altered state in which one tends to fall in love with the
little ugly fella who has musical talent.
Max Lucado claims: For that reason, on the night before His death He introduced the disciples to the song maker of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit."
It was Apollo or Abbadon or Abaddyon or Satan who was the LEADER of the MUSES representing the fine and performance arts trying to replace God.
Peter speaking of the prophets,
Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1 Peter 1:11
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 of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10
Paul in First Corinthians Chapter Two notes that the Holy Spirit is to God what our spirit is to use. Paul then defined the Holy Spirit as the MIND OF CHRIST. Mind and Spirit are most often the same thing. Therefore, the Holy Spirit these people HEAR AUDIBLY is not a separate person.
The trinity IS neither TRUE nor STATED to include THREE BEINGS. With the exception of the 1940's of H. Leo Boles and the Gospel Advocate, the Max Lucado and Rubel Shelly TRITHEISM has no Biblical or historical foundations. The trinity was derived out of philosophy before it was used in Christianity. Even so, only heritics (re Paul Tillich) called God a person meaning a "people." Those who used the word TRINITY never separated the Godhead into three separate Beings. Modern, latter day prophets need to dispose of the SON and His Word in order to claim that the Holy Spirit "person" guides them into all truth.
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.
Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, Col.2:18
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this mans religion is vain. Ja.1:26
Threskos (g2357) thrace'-kos; prob. from the base of 2360; ceremonious in worship (as demonstrative), i.e. pious: - religious.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Ja.1:27
The Jerusalem clergy looking for Dionysus as their Messiah, tried to pervert Jesus into the song and choral dance of Dionysus. They also expected that John the Baptist would be wearing SOFT clothing of the king's catamite. Dionysus was the god of the NEW WINESKIN:
# Chorous men: for the omission of the

(Ariôn). A Greek poet and musician, of Methymna in Lesbos, who flourished about B.C. 625. In the course of a roving life he spent a considerable time at the court of Periander, tyrant of Corinth.

# Plato Protagoras [326b] the song-makers, while the master accompanies them on the harp; and they insist on familiarizing the boys' souls with the rhythms and scales, that they may gain in gentleness, and by advancing in rhythmic and harmonic grace may be efficient in speech and action; for the whole of man's life requires the graces of rhythm and harmony. Again, over and above all this, people send their sons to a trainer, that having improved their bodies they may perform the orders of their minds,

This is what people do, who are most able; and the most able are the wealthiest. Their sons begin school at the earliest age, and are freed from it at the latest.

[326d] that their conduct may not be swayed by their own light fancies, but just as writing-masters first draw letters in faint outline with the pen for their less advanced pupils, and then give them the copy-book and make them write according to the guidance of their lines, so the city sketches out for them the laws devised by good lawgivers of yore, and constrains them to govern and be governed according to these.

[1.9.7] Salmoneus at first dwelt in Thessaly, but afterwards he came to Elis and there founded a city. And being arrogant and wishful to put himself on an equality with Zeus, he was punished for his impiety; for he said that he was himself Zeus, and
- he took away the sacrifices of the god and
- ordered them to be offered to himself;
- and by dragging dried hides, with bronze kettles, at his chariot,
- he said that he thundered,
- and by flinging lighted torches at the sky
- he said that he lightened.

Euripides, Iphigenia in Tauris Chorus
Lovely is the son of Leto,
[1235] whom she, the Delian, once bore in the fruitful valleys, golden-haired, skilled at the lyre; and also the one who glories in her well-aimed arrows.[1240] For the mother, leaving the famous birth-place, brought him from the ridges of the sea to the heights of Parnassus, with its gushing waters, which celebrate the revels for Dionysus. Here the dark-faced serpent[1245] with brightly colored back, his scales of bronze in the leaf-shaded laurel, huge monster of the earth, guarded Earth's prophetic shrine. You killed him, o Phoebus, while still a baby,[1250] still leaping in the arms of your dear mother, and you entered the holy shrine, and sit on the golden tripod, on your truthful throne[1255] distributing prophecies from the gods to mortals, up from the sanctuary, neighbor of Castalia's streams, as you dwell in the middle of the earth.Chalkeos Chalkes hupai salpingos
Euripides, Electra Chorus
The story remains in old legends
[700] that Pan, the keeper of wild beasts, breathing sweet-voiced music on his well-joined pipes, once brought from its tender mother on Argive hills[705] a lamb with beautiful golden fleece. A herald stood on the stone platform and cried aloud, “To assembly [aroga], Mycenaeans, go to assembly[710] to see the omens given to our blessed rulers.” . . . and they honored the house of Atreus.Musae (Mousai). In Greek mythology the Muses were originally the nymphs of springs, whose waters gave inspiration, such as Hippocrené, Castalia, etc.; then goddesses of song in genera. They are all female and are considered goddesses dwelling in Olympus, who at the meals of the gods sing sweetly to the lyre of Apollo. They are the nine daughters of Zeus. [Apollo is at times the sun god or Saturn. Saturn's Chaldee (sounding brass, astrology) number is 666.

2.157Aeschines, 2. [157] “How outrageous that when a man whose business it is to act the parts of a Carion or of a Xanthias1 showed himself so noble and generous, Aeschines, the counsellor of the greatest city, the adviser of the Ten Thousand of Arcadia, did not restrain his insolence, but in drunken heat, when Xenodocus, one of the picked corps of Philip, was entertaining us, seized a captive woman by the hair, and took a strap and flogged her!”
1 Satyrus, the comic actor, would often take slave parts, for which Carion and Xanthias were among the traditional names.
Aeschines, Speeches Against Ctesiphon
But when a man who is made up of words, and those words bitter words and useless--when such a man takes refuge in "simplicity" and "the facts," who could have patience with him? If you treat him as you might a clarinet, and take out his tongue, you have nothing left!
Like Apollo or Abaddon or Apollyon who looses the LOCUSTS or muses as musical performer, Arion had the ability to change himself into an "angel of light" such as a harmless dolphin.
For those who MUST KNOW that not using INSTRUMENTS is not JUST OUR HERITAGE or TRADITION WE ASK: "WHY WOULD PEOPLE SAY SUCH DISHONEST THINGS. IF IN DOUBT,
# SEE OUR GROWING COLLECTION OF MUSICAL HISTORY. Or if you just enjoy the UNAUTHORIZED GIVING to support such nonesense, good luck.
"But," I hear many good people exclaim, "there are many good clergymen in the church who do not believe in baptismal regeneration!" To this my answer is prompt: Why then, do they belong to a church which teaches that doctrine in the plainest terms? I am told that many in the Church of England preach against her own teaching. I know they do, and herein I rejoice in their enlightenment, but I question, gravely question, their morality.
To take oath that I sincerely assent and consent to a doctrine which I do not believe would to my conscience appear little short of perjury, if not absolute, downright perjury; but those who do so must be judged by their Lord.
For me to take money for defending what I do not believe--for me to take the money of a church, and then to preach against what are most evidently its doctrines--I say for me to do this (I shall not judge the peculiar views of other men), for me or for any other simple, honest man to do so, would be an atrocity so great that, if I had perpetrated the deed, I should consider myself out of the pale [boundaries] of truthfulness, honesty, and common morality.
