Notes from Psalm 75 to answer Rick Atchley and Chris Seidman on Instrumental Music

This is a quick look at Psalm 75, which like Numbers 10 defines the synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness which EXCLUDED vocal or instrumental rejoicing.

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.


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.

Church is Ekklesia or Synagogue: both for instruction only: both exclusive of any performing arts: you don't do music when God's Word is taught.  I submit that you cannot be a Christian if you do not understand the meaning of "teach them what I have commanded to be taught."

All of Rick Atchley and Christ Seidman's PATTERNISM are lifted from the nation of Israel whom God abandoned to worship the starry host because of musical idolatry at Mount sinai.

The Mount Sinai Event
Read Christ's description of this fatal fall from grace

Psalm 75 defines the assembly or Synagogue of Christ when he comes to destroy the Scribes and Pharisees whom He calls hypocrites in Ezekiel 33: He names slick speakers, singers and instrument players.

This has many parallels because Paul and Peter were both Bible literate and guided into all truth by Jesus in Person and later as the Holy Spirit`. 

Psa. 75:0 To the chief Musician, Altaschith, A Psalm or Song of Asaph.

Psa. 75:1  Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks:
        for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare. [list, number, inscribe, speak, tell]

We laud God and not speaking or musical performers.  Laud is done with a Psalmus
This is part of the "Instructions to the chief musician." These instructions are how they might be performed.

From the Latin: Psalmus , i, m., = psalmos, i. q. psalma,
I.   a psalm (eccl. Lat.; cf.: “carmen, hymnus),” ; Vulg. Isa. 38, 20.—Esp., the Psalms of David, Vulg. Luc. 20, 42; id. Act. 13, 33
Hezekiah vowed if cured:

Is. 38:20 The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

Acts 13:33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

 Psalm 2.1
psalmus David quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania

Fremo resound, whiz,

Hezekiah understood that as KING he could not enter into the Holy Place (the elements of the church) without being executed by God: the exception of the starving David proves the rule. No singer or instrument player could come near any holy thing or place even to carry out the garbage of the Assyrian worship.

He will SING (Psalmos) AND Cantibus
Canto ,
I. a. [cano], freq. in form, but mostly agrees in meaning with cano.
I.  Neutr., to produce melodious sounds (by the voice or an instrument), to sound, sing, play (class. in prose and poetry; rare in Cic.).

That is because PSALMOS does not include either melody or instruments.

Luke 20[42] David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand,
Psa. 75:2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
Neh. 8:1 And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.

Neh. 8:7 Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
Neh. 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

This is the warrior's "praise" word when they are trying to turn the enemy into cowards: the thread from Egypt onward that if you "resist" you will be robbed, raped and "raptured." This is the SIGN of Lucifer: sure, they worshipped the starry host:

1966 hêylêl hay-lale' From H1984 (in the sense of brightness); the morning star:—lucifer

Lucifer is identified by Christ in the prophets as "the singing and harp playing prostitute" in the garden of Eden.  Lucifer is also ZOE as the "mother of gods and beasts." Paul knew more about Even than false teachers.

Rick Atchley: Idon’t know how to explain it. I don’t know why 220 people in the right room with a good band is a pretty cool experience, but that same crowd with a song leader rarely generates the same energy. And if you were just a guest walking in, and church is kind of strange to you, there is no question which one would make you feel more immediately comfortable.

He had with him a fine flute-girl, a dancing-girl--one of those skilled in acrobatic tricks,--and a very handsome boy, who was expert at playing the cither and at dancing; the Syracusan made money by exhibiting their performances as a spectacle. [2] They now played for the assemblage, the flute-girl on the flute, the boy on the cither; and it was agreed that both furnished capital amusement. Thereupon Socrates remarked: “On my word, Callias, you are giving us a perfect dinner; for not only have you set before us a feast that is above criticism, but you are also offering us very delightful sights and sounds.” [3] “Suppose we go further,” said Callias, “and have some one bring us some perfume, so that we may dine in the midst of pleasant odours, also.” “No, indeed!” replied Socrates
“What use will you make of them?” the other asked.
