Patrick Mead on Instrumental
Music
Patrick Mead at Rochester Church
of Christ in his first
sermon on God and Instrumental
Music
sifts through the Old Testament for passages that use an instrument of
any kind. This tends to flood the mind
with the notion that the
Bible is filled with direct commands to use instrumental music to
worship God. Rev 12.26.10
NEVER ACCEPT A SERMON ABOUT
INSTRUMENTS IN A CHURCH OF CHRIST UNTIL YOU HAVE SOME BACKGROUND.
1.13.11
|
THOSE WHO IMPOSE
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BUILD ON THE FOUNDATION OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES.
The
first two reasons assert that under the Old Testament, God did not just
allow instrumental music, He commanded and blessed it. Rick offered the
following passages for these contentions: 2 Chronicles 5:13-14; 7:6;
29:25-26; Psalm 33:1- 3; 92:1-3; 150:1-6.
Never mind that
the godly tribes were quarantined. No singer or player went INTO or
NEAR a holy thing or place on the penalty of death. Some of these
patterns are separated from the last by up to 300 years.
CHRIST IN THE PROPHETS WARNED ABOUT THE LYING PEN OF
THE SCRIBES.
Stand in the gate of the Lords house [courts], and proclaim
there this word,
and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye
of Judah,
that enter in at these gates to worship the
Lord. Jeremiah 7:2
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Amend your ways and your doings,
and I will cause you to dwell in this
place. Jeremiah 7:3
Trust ye not in lying words, saying,
The temple of the Lord, The temple of the
Lord,
The temple of the Lord, are these. Jeremiah
7:4
Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is WITH US?
LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE HE IT;
THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS in vain.
For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded them
in the day that I brought them out of the
land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jeremiah 7:22
Cyril
of Alexandria, Commentary on John,
That the Pharisees puffed
up unto strange boasting,
were wont
to pretend that the Divine Word
was with
them and in
them,
and
therefore foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to marvellous
wisdom,
the Spirit Itself will
testify,
since Christ says by the
Prophet Jeremiah
unto them,
How do ye say, WE are
wise, and the word of the Lord is with us?
For nought to the scribes became their lying pen;
the wise men were ashamed,
were dismayed and taken;
what wisdom is in them? because
they rejected
the word of
the Lord.
For how are they not taken rejecting
the Living and Hypostatic Word of
God,
receiving not the
faith to Him-ward,
but
dishonouring the Impress
of God the Father,
and refusing to behold
His most
true Form (so
to say)
through His God-befitting
Authority and Power?
THE PROPHECIES BY CHRIST WERE FULFILLED BY JESUS CHRIST:
JESUS AND PETER MAKES THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS THE ONLY TRUTH.
John 6:44 No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw
him:
and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:45 It is WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS
And they shall be all taught of God.
Every man therefore that hath heard,
and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto
me.
2Pet. 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words
which were spoken before by the HOLY
PROPHETS
and of the commandment of us the
APOSTLES of the Lord and Saviour:
IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WHO SPOKE THROUGH THE
PROPHETS AND NOT LYING SCRIBES whom He called hypocrites by naming
speakers, singers and instrument players in Ezekiel 33.
1Pet. 1:10 Of which salvation the PROPHETS have
inquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace
that should come unto you:
1Pet. 1:11 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.
God did NOT speak through the lying pen of the Scribes who
recorded the Monarchy which God had NOT commanded.
Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb. 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us BY HIS SON
whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb. 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory,
and the express image of his person,
and upholding all things by the WORD
of his power,
when he had by himself purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high
THOSE WHO DELIBERATELY SOW DISCORD BY QUOTING THE LYING PEN
OF THE SCRIBES (hypocrites: speakers, singers, instrument players)
are defined by the Spirit:
Jer. 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
Hearken not unto the words of the prophets
that prophesy unto you:
they make you vain: they speak a vision
of their own heart,
and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
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.
Despise tthe Word of God of God and using your own words is:
Blasphēm-eō , pf. A. “beblasphēmēka”
D.18.10:—speak profanely of sacred things, “eis theous” Pl.R.381e;
offer rash prayers,
1. Because Christ as Spirit spoke ONLY through the prophets.
2. Those who use use the pattern of the Lying Pen of the Scribes, in
fact despise and ignore the SPIRIT message.
3. Christ in Jeremiah defines that as blasphemy
Hebrew: H5006 nâ’ats naw-ats' A
primitive root; to scorn; abhor, (give occasion to) blaspheme,
contemn, despise, flourish, X great, provoke. 1.04.11 Bible 101a
|
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.
The Progressive Church of
Christ members note that they have reached their plateau. A Cloud
of
Unknowing is prophesied of those who treat the word like a mechanic
pretending to be a Brain Surgeon.
The amazing thing is that
this small pool which has lost connection with the head: by lifting
those proof texts necessary to sow discord within the Church of Christ,
and failing to understand the context, they have unwittingly or
half-wittingly ascribed to the Spirit of Christ what He did not say:
does that not constitute blasphemy?
CENI means that no one can survive speaking out of their OWN
IMAGINATION rather than simply reading an account and discussing it.
Jer 23:16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Hearken not unto the
words
of the prophets that prophesy unto you;
they make you vain:
they
speak a vision of
their own heart,
and
not out of the mouth of
the Lord.
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.

The spirit OF Christ spoke through the PROPHETS
to univerally condemn music as the MARK and CAUSE of rejecting
the Word. Otherwise, to prophesy meant to MAKE SELF a prophets in a
singing, dancing and musical sense.

is said 'Thy voice shall be as

passages,
as in the Witch of Endor narrative, as deceivers practising a fraudulent

Christ defined the synagogue
or church in the wilderness to EXCLUDE these people: don't be a guilty
enabler.
There is no ROLE for them and
no DOLE: rhetoricians and musicians were called HYPOCRITES by Jesus and
PARASITES by decent society.
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old
time
hath in every city
them that PREACH him,
being READ in the synagogues
every sabbath day.
Do trust your souls to people
who mock the church: Christ and His Word "as taught" is the only guide
into the spiritual world and the rest including wind, string and
percussion musicians John called sorcerers are doomed for the Lake of Fire.
Before looking at any rationale
for adding instruments into a Church of Christ it would be well to note
that the Bible, church scholars and founders of denominations denied
that the instruments of paganism and the theater had any role to play
in the Church which is synagogue, ekklesia or school of the Word of
Christ: A DISCIPLE of Christ is to be taught what Jesus Christ
COMMANDED to be taught.
All recorded history makes
religious musicians, sexuality and homosexuality absolute.
Patrick's
sermon # 2 has been reviewed in part by clicking here.
Patrick
Mead
Rivers
and
Rubicons. Patrick uses the Nadab and Abihu
example to most those who grasp the story.
Patrick
Mead: intentionally just
picks up on the
obvious uses of instruments (machines for deceiving or
controlling) none of which are used in the spiritual worship of the
"citizens" of Israel. On the contrary, these are all marks
of Satan (Lucifer, Zoe), making war, sending signals, exorcism,
prostitutes and Sodomites. The proof-texts--intentionally ignoring the
context and story line--are MARKS of a national, Civil-Priestly state
to
which God abandoned Israel because of musical idolatry
at
Mount
Sinai.
[Acts 7 and many clear statements)
CHRIST SPEAKS
ONLY THROUGH THE PROPHETS. Christ affirmed the musical fall from
grace most of the prophets. The Monarchy was NOT a system of worship
for the common, godly people who attended synagogue or church in the
wilderness as a school of the Word (only).
There seems to
be a crippling veil which has not been removed because clergy, by
definition, have served the secular world and have not turned to
Christ. It doesn't matter how many cases of the use of
instrumental music in the Civil system in Washington: it has no
connection to the spiritual world.
On the other
hand, the Bible is
flooded with LOUD warnings beginning with Genesis
where the "serpent" is defined as a musical enchanter(ess) who
is
bisexual and able to wholly seduce Eve in a sexual way says Paul and
able for Adam to "eat of the tallest tree in Eden" whom the prophets
identify as the Assyrians. The FRUITS are
not apples.
Lucifer
the
singing
and harp playing prostitute
in Eden: Ezekiel 28
Assyrians in Eden: Ezekiel 31
In the middle of the
Bible and
throughout, Amos lumps the female-controlled
players of musical instrumets with the "basket of summer FRUITS."
These
are
defined
as
the
DOGS or CATAMITES Paul warned about
in
our worship. They caused the people to hunger and thirst for the Word
of God until they died or went into captivity with the females led away
with fishhooks in their nose.
The Bible ends with the Mother of harlots
(Revelation 17) using the "lusted after FRUITS" as
speakers, singers and instrumentalists identified by John as sorcerers
(Revelation 18) who HAD deceived
the whole world.
Why is this important in reviewing
the RESOURCES hand fed by the NACC
to a few preachers and THEIR repeating the material almost
word-for-word?
It is
because
Jesus told the Apostles why He would not even preach the clear gospel
to the clergy of Scribes and Pharisees
whom He called hypocrites. Jesus pointed to Isaiah
and Ezekiel who identify the HYPOCRITES as
speakers, singers and instrument players along with anyone who would go
out and listen to them to be entertained.
Jesus said that truth had been hidden in parables
from the foundation of the World FROM those He also called Doctors
of the Law who "Take away the KEY to knowledge."
They, being blind, will lead the blind and charge you an unlawful wage
for doing it.
Why do people hide the dozens of
bright lights warning about
instruments
as a MARK of rejecting God under a bushel of isolated verses none of
which defines collective worship?
Jesus explains why it may be utterly impossible for those sowing musical
discord
to even read or hear this message: God may have sent strong delusion
and the most powerful DELUDERS were known as singers and musicians.

215c DEFINES LYING WONDERS Part
Two
You differ
from him in
one point only--that you produce the same effect
with simple prose unaided
by instruments. For example, when we hear any
other person--[215d] quite
an
excellent
orator,
perhaps--pronouncing one of
the usual discourses, no one, I venture to say, cares a jot;
but so
soon as we hear you, or your discourses in the mouth of
another,--though such person be ever so poor a speaker, and whether the
hearer be a woman or a man or a youngster--we are all astounded and
entranced. As for myself, gentlemen, were it not that I might appear to
be absolutely tipsy, I would have affirmed on oath all the strange
effects I personally have felt from his words, and still feel
even now.
Psilos IV.
opposite to melody. Ordinary sound of the voice OPPOSITE to
singing.
This is the same procedure
used by David Faust who is the
latest facilitator from the NACC
tutoring a
few men to infiltrate
peaceable churches of Christ with instrumental
music. It always begins with "musical worship teams" to lead
you
into God's presence: they claim to be God standing in the holy places
capable of being your mediators. The next step will be to appease the
masses with A Sunday Acappella service BUT adding a third or Sabbath
Worship service. Believe me, they intend to "go all the way" as did Max
Lucado appeasing the people all along that this will be "soft strings
in another room." Don't be fooled.
Why list ALL of the "instrument"
passages gleaned from a
lexicon without ever reading what God was saying?
The impact of a serial
quoting of
non-related statements is pretty strong until you
just stop and
understand that there must be a deliberate patternism
for using the
boasted-of postmodern plan or Lynn Anderson's
Navigating the Winds of
Change to make a shocking impact. This is not
unexpected because a
musical instrument is defined as "a machine for doing hard work mostly
in makingwar and in creating
the shock and awe of
performance
religionism." However, one of the oldest bits of information is that
leaders use musical performers to point or direct the credit or worship
to the leader and to bind them to himself:
tribalism 101a--and pay him too.
We will skip the proof that God
had abandoned the national
leaders
to "worship the starry host" because of musical
idolatry at
Mount
Sinai. When the elders fired God and demanded a king LIKE THE NATIONS
He understood that to mean "so we can worship like the nations." As a
result Hosea says that "I gave them kings in my anger and took them
away in my anger." God warned that the king set over them would take
their
tithe and lands and give it to his "ministry team."
He would take
the young girls for the court and the young boys to make musical
instruments
and run before the potentate's chariots.
Anyone who has read how the
elders "fired" God and God's
promises that the kings would destroy them, cannot miss the primary
document of O.E.Payne and later by Tom Burgess who justifies
instrumental music by the Greek word Psallo along with the curse of the
Old Testament. Not to be missed is that ALL
of the literature where psallo is used it means only the plucking and
the proof uses Alexander the Great condemned by his father, Philip, for
outing his pederasty by the WAY he plucked the harp seducing young boys
for a sexual favor.
Next,
we need to establish that God or the Spirit OF
Christ knows
that there are two classes of people one of which
Jesus called
a
Crooked Generation meaning the
perverted
skolion singers from whom we
are to SAVE OURSELVES.
God intends to make fools of the
blind
to
collect the blind and quarantine them just as the sacrificial system
was off limits
to people who assembled or synagogued as a school of the Bible where
vocal and instrumental rejoicing was outlawed. Not too helpful when
people are told that god LOVES loud noise when He tries to be our
teacher when the elders "teach that which has been taught" and we "sing
that which is written." On the contrary, Habakkuk 2 says to silence the
"idols" we assume SPEAK to us and "when God is in His Holy Temple, let
all the earth keep silence before him."
You might LUMPED with a group
whom Jesus INTENDS to keep in
the
dark because you have let the wolves inside when Paul told you to
worship in the SPIRIT in contrast to in the FLESH. Body Worship is not
a pretty term.
Rember
that Lucifer is called "the singing and harp playing prostitute" in the
garden of Eden. She / he / it is called in Gnosticism "Zoe, the beast
and female instructing principle."
Therefore
the Lucifer
Principle intends
to make noise and especially music to PREVENT people from hearing the
still, quiet voice of God speaking so gently that with Elijah God's
voice is the "silence of a whispered breeze." As long as people invent
their own songs and make music no one can convince anyone that the
performers--Jesus called hypocrites--intend for you to keep the though
and thoughs of God in your mind. Why should all historic
scholars
and founders of denominations be so wrong and a half dozen people in
these end times be so opposite but correct?
Here is how God intends
to fool those foolish enough to revert to an Old Testament
priestly
class all
condemned by the Spirit OF Christ in the prophets.
Sure, they
were the senior pastors, preachers, doctors of the law and identified
by Jesus as "piping trying to force people to sing and dance." This
MARKED the perverted Dionysus or god of the new wineskin bowing to
Baal. But,
Nehemiah speaking of the Monarchy said "they all TOOK us for
all they
could collect."
Matt
13:10: And the disciples
came, and
said unto him,
Why
speakest thou unto them in parables?
Matt 13:11: He answered and said unto them,
Because
it is given unto
you
to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven,
but to
them [clergy,
doctors of the law] it is not
given.
Matt 13:12: For whosoever hath, to him shall be
given, and he
shall have
more abundance:
but
whosoever hath not, from him shall
be taken away even that he hath.
Matt 13:13: Therefore speak I to them in parables:
because
they seeing see
not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they
understand.
Matt 13:14: And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which
saith,
By hearing ye
shall hear, and shall
not understand;
and
seeing
ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Matt 13:15: For this people's heart is waxed gross,
and their
ears are dull of hearing,
and their
eyes they have closed;
lest
at any time they
should see with their eyes, and hear
with their
ears,
and
should understand
with their heart,
and
should be converted, and
I
should heal
them.
Matt 13:16: But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for
they hear.
The prophecy of these end times was
from Isaiah who in Isaiah 5 just
radically repudiated the practice defined by Amos where their religious
festivals were MARKED by wine, visible women
and instrumental music.
Isaiah promises that they will be led into captivity and the dominant
women would suffer reproach and die for lack of
the Word of God.
In chapter 6 he prophesies the modern church:
Also I
heard the
voice of the Lord,
saying, Whom shall I send, and
who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isa 6:8
And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye
indeed, but understand
not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Isa 6:9
Make the
heart
of
this
people
fat,
and make their ears heavy, and shut
their eyes;
lest they see with their
eyes, and hear with their
ears, and understand with their heart,
and convert,
and be healed.
Isa 6:10
ALL
musical terms and
names of instruments are derived from evil roots. All Greek singing and
playing words convey the idea of enchantment or deception
or sorcery as
John said of the "fruits" speaking, singing and playing instruments in
Revelation 18:22-23
#E The
words SPEAK for the
synagogue or ekklesia are defined as the OPPOSITE
of poetry
or music. The Bible is not metrical

tunful sense.

[22] since
there

artfulness,

the mass of men is blind.
For if
[25] they had been

never have planted in his chest the smooth
sword--Aias, who was the most

breaks over all alike; it falls on the man who does
not

golden-haired Menelaus [30] from the city of Ilus.
Paul
and John knew the
stories the Greeks told one another to entertain and deceive the
masses. But, Jesus never speaks to the masses without using PARABLES.
However, not even the DECENT poets
used meter or melody:
-Aristotle Aristot. Rh. 3.6: Melody Deceives:
"Poets also
make use of this in inventing words,
as a melody "without strings" or "without the lyre"; for they employ
epithets from negations, a course which is approved in proportional
metaphors.

And on rhythm in general, and its application to prose, there
is an
Appendix (C), pp. 379—392; in which is a full account of its original
and derived significations in the first part, and of its distinction
from metron in the second.
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the
words of God:
for God giveth not the Spirit by metron
unto him.

XLI speaking of the "god" to whom God abandoned Israel because of

In

as if he
had
forgotten that it was his object to write against the Christians,
he
says
that,
"having
become
acquainted
with

an Egyptian musician,
Alawys denounced: "the

him, with respect to magic

that it was only

Alawys approved: "while

because
they were careful to observe a healthy

PROVING THE UNIVERSAL MARK OF
THE
EFFEMINATE: the
church is almost now devoid of men.
E-mail from a long term
but now X member of one of
Patrick Mead's sister congregations:
"This
will
confirm many things that you have been saying about these hijacked
congregations.
It
was the most efiminate thing that I have ever witnessed.
They
had a
choir that was totally composed of women. This group sang a
couple of
performance songs and also led the congregational singing.
Only one
song was acapella, a bone tossed to those that still care.
The two men
besides the preacher that spoke, although married, were way off the
scale in the
feminine category. It was really sad."
Why does GOD need music as
a MACHINE to make His
Word more powerful. Especially when this is a universal mark of all
effeminate priesthoods? #H
"The development both of
religion and of the arts
can be traced back in a continuous line to the hunting era. The group ritual of the primeval tribesmen were the origin not only of all
religious ceremonial, but also of the drama and of poetry and music, while magic gave birth to the visual arts." (Parkes, Henry Bamford, On Gods and
Men, p. 30).
"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.
"The trained
musicians which
eventually appear around the time of David
and Solomon mark a
distinctive change in the history of Jewish music.
Before
this time
much of the music was made by women."
(Zondervan Pict., Music p. 313).
"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).
Ancient
literature from
Babylonian tablets and beyond agree with Johannes Quasten.
In Music and Worship in
Pagan and
Christian
Antiquity,
beginning on page 41 He uses many of the church Fathers and Classical
resources we also rely upon:
"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.
This is the laded
burden [songs]
Jesus died
to remove along with the burden laders. And what Paul outlawed as
SELF-pleasure so that the ekklesia or school of the Bible could take
place in Romans 15.

"Typanotriba."
Literally, "drum," or
"tambourine beater." He alludes to the eunuch-priests of Cybele,
who used to beat tambourines in her procession-probably in allusion
to debauchees, emasculated by riot
and dissipation
"Hebrew music... was used in the
luxurious times of
the later
monarchy the effeminate gallants of israel, reeking
with perfumes, and stretched upon their couches of
ivory, were wont at their banquets to accompany the song
with the tinkling of the
psaltery or guitar (Am.
v1. 4-6), and amused themselves with devising musical instruments while their
nation was
perishing. (Smith's
Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 590).
Psalms
Delitzsch
Moreover, we
must take into consideration the facts that the compass of
the tenor extends even into the
soprano, that
the singers were of
different ages down to twenty years of age, and that Oriental, and more
particularly even Jewish,
song
is fond of falsetto singing
Clement
of Alexandria on Exhortation to the Heathen whom
they twist to authorize instrumental music in worship says:
All
honour to that
king of the Scythians, whoever Anacharsis was, who
shot with
an arrow
one of his subjects who imitated
among the Scythians the mystery
of the Mother of
the gods,
as practised
by the inhabitants of Cyzicus,
- beating
a drum and
sounding
a
cymbal
- strung
from his neck like a priest of Cybele,
- condemning
him
as
having
become
effeminate
among
the
Greeks,
- and
a teacher of the disease of effeminacy to the rest of the
Cythians.
And
do you not see
Moses, the hierophant of the truth, enjoining
that no eunuch,
or emasculated
man,
or son of a harlot, should enter the
congregation? By the
two first he alludes to the impious custom by which men were deprived
both of divine energy and of their virility; and by the third, to him
who, in place of the only real God, assumes many gods falsely so
called,-as the son of a harlot, in ignorance of his true father, may
claim many putative fathers.
THOUGH
I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Cor 13:1
See the TWANGING
ARROW as the background to external
melody which Paul prohibited.
Paul
repeated this
warning which also appears in Isaiah 29 and Isaiah 48 shows why the
mercinaries or corrupters of the word meaning "selling learing at
retail" meaning spiritual adultery will not have a clue. A blind flock
deserves a blind shepherd to "craunch your bones."
And
some
believed the things which
were spoken, and some believed not. Acts 28:24
And when
they agreed not among
themselves,
they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well
spake the
Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
Acts 28:25
Saying, Go
unto
this
people,
and
say,
Hearing
ye
shall
hear, and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: Acts 28:26
For the
heart of this people is waxed
gross,
and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with
their
eyes,
and hear with their ears,
and understand with their heart,
and should be
converted,
and I should heal them. Acts 28:27
Be it
known therefore unto you,
that the
salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles,
and that they will hear it.
Acts 28:28
Isaiah
30 notes
that when you hear the wind, string and percussion instruments it is
the SIGN or MARK that God is driving His enemies into hell.
That is the last MARK that Jesus the Spirit has visited your
church and REMOVED the candlesticks meaning the seven Spirits OF Divine
knowledge. (Isa 11:1)
As in the days of Noah, god will send a SPIRIT
of FIRE and a SPIRIT of judment to burn up the blind chaff.
NOW, JUMP TO MATTHEW 15 TO HEAR JESUS DEFINED THE PERFORMERS
AS
HYPOCRITES
When we are told that there is
little symphathy for the BLIND
who are led by the BLIND and both fall into a
ditch. Who
are the BLIND men playing their bluff. In Matthew 15 Jesus
spoke
of the false teachers afflicting people a Scribes and Pharisees whom He
called hypocrites. What is a hypocrite so that we can know whether
Patrick Mead is speak for a God who LOVES LOUD or whether he is a
hypocrite?
Matt 15:6 And
honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free.
Thus have
ye made
the
commandment of God
of none effect
by
your tradition.
The MEANING of the Scribes,
Pharisees and Hypocrites
was that they IMPOSED their own TRADITIONS in
order to
TRUMP the COMMANDMENTS of God.
A
SPECIFIC
EXAMPLE
It is easier to
mumble personal opinion than
to LOOK at the proof that Jesus was OUTLAWING musical performers. Why
can't you FACE Scripture fair and squar?
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
.......... honoreth me with their lips;

me,

Melos

melody is rhythmic and induces what Carol Wimber and the pagans called
a "sexual-like climax." Sure, that is why modern music attracts and why
musicologists know that "churchy" music is derived from
Voodoo
which again needs femal operatives.

A
LEGALISTIC PATTERNISM CONDEMNED
Ezekiel also defines the HYPOCRITES Jesus condemned as slick speakers,
singers and instrument players.
-
Also, thou son of
man, the children of
thy people still are talking
against thee by the
walls and
in
the doors of the houses, and speak one
to another, every one
to his brother, saying, Come,

- and
hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Ezek

- And
they come

thee as the

cometh,

not
do
them:

Ezekiel 33 identifies the same HYPOCRITES which Jesus also associated
with the perverters who PLAYED in the marketplace trying to force
others to sing or lament and dance. This would be the mark that Jesus
was their hoped for Dionysus who gave them authority for the
sexuality, homosexuality and music in the Holy Places as the
Abomination of Desolation:
