Rick Atchley The Kingdom of God
Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf warns about Rick Atchley's experiencing Spiritual Exhilaration of hearing thousands of people making music. Adolf Hitler speaking of HIS effort to capture and rule other people's KINGDOM:
From the great agitator down to the small trade-union official and the shop steward and discussion speaker; this work consisted of the hundreds of thousands of meetings at which, standing on the table in smoky taverns, these people's orators hammered at the masses and thus were able to acquire a marvelous knowledge of this human material which really put them in a position to choose the best weapons for attacking the fortress of public opinion.And it consisted, furthermore, in the gigantic mass demonstrations, these parades of hundreds of thousands of men, which burned into the small, wretched individual the proud conviction that, paltry worm as he was, he was nevertheless a part of a great dragon,1 beneath whose burning breath the hated bourgeois world would some day go up in fire and flame and the proletarian dictatorship would celebrate its ultimate final victory.
The mass meeting is also necessary for the reason that in it the individual, who at first while becoming a supporter of a young movement, feels lonely and easily succumbs to the fear of being alone, for the first time gets the picture of a larger community, which in most people has a strengthening, encouraging effect.
The same man, within a company or a battalion, surrounded by all his comrades, would set out on an attack with a lighter heart than if left entirely on his own. In the crowd he always feels somewhat sheltered, even if a thousand reasons actually argue against it.
But the community of the great demonstration not only strengthens the individual, it also unites and helps to create an esprit de corps. The man who is exposed to grave tribulations, as the first advocate of a new doctrine in his factory or workshop, absolutely needs that strengthening which lies in the conviction of being a member and fighter in a great comprehensive body.
And he obtains an impression of this body for the first time in the mass demonstration. When from his little workshop or big factory, in which he feels very small, he steps for the first time into a mass meeting and has thousands and thousands of people of the same opinions around him, when, as a seeker, (Als Suchender.' A Wagnerian phrase, which Hitler was apparently determined to use at all costs) he is swept away by three or four thousand others into the mighty effect of suggestive intoxication and enthusiasm when the visible success and agreement of thousands confirm to him the rightness of the new doctrine and for the first time arouse doubt in the truth of his previous conviction - then he himself has succumbed to the magic influence of what we designate as 'mass suggestion.'
The will, the longing, and also the power of thousands are accumulated in every individual. The man who enters such a meeting doubting and wavering leaves it inwardly reinforced: he has become a link in the community.
The National Socialist movement must never forget this and in particular it must never let itself be influenced by those bourgeois s who know everything better, but who nevertheless have gambled away a great state including their own existence and the rule of their class.
JESUS WARNED AND THE FOUND SPIRITS WILL NEVER GO TO THESE MASS MEETINGS
THE KINGDOM OF SATAN: most will go in
Lk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:THE CHRISTIAN ANTITHESIS: only a small group who know that God rewards those who diligently seek Him. Rhetoricians, singers and instrument players (hypocrites says Christ) will attract the MASSED MULTITUDE because they are OF the World and Jesus doesn't pray for them.
Observātiō ōnis, observo, a watching, observance, investigation: observationes animadvertebant, your searches for evidence: siderum. Circumspection, care, exactness: summa in bello movendo.

Quint. Inst. 10 1.16 But the advantages conferred by reading and listening are not identical. The speaker stimulates us by the animation of his delivery, and kindles the imagination, not by presenting us with an elaborate [p. 13] picture, but by bringing us into actual touch with the things themselves. Then all is life and movement, and we receive the new-born offspring of his imagination with enthusiastic approval. We are moved not merely by the actual issue of the trial, but by all that the orator himself has at stake.
Quint. Inst. 10 1.17 Moreover his voice, the grace of his gestures, the adaptation of his delivery (which is of supreme importance in oratory), and, in a word, all his excellences in combination, have their educative effect.
In reading, on the other hand, the critical faculty is a surer guide, inasmuch as the listener's judgment is often swept away by his preference for a particular speaker, or by the applause of an enthusiastic audience.

ABSOLUTE MARKS OF A CHURCH (SCHOOL) OF CHRIST OR KINGDOM OF CHRIST
The Kingdom of Christ exists in territory ruled by Jesus Christ the King of His Kingdom. Jesus didn't come preaching the "gospel of the gospel" but:
Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.Jesus promised that some would see the Kingdom Come with Power:
Matthew 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mark 9:1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you,The Kingdom came with the Power of the Risen Jesus now King and High priests. Afterward, the kingdom of God is the kingdom of Christ because God made Jesus to be both Lord and Christ:
That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death,
till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom
I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Acts 28:31 Preaching the kingdom of God,
and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ,
with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
The Church of Christ or the Kingdom of Christ has Jesus Christ as the only Teacher when the elders teach that which has been taught. That continues the Ekklesia, Qahal or Synagogue which began in the wilderness. It's only role was to READ and REHEARSE the Word of God. Church is defined as A School OF Christ.
Because Jesus Christ is the King of His kingdom and High Priest and only mediator, A Church of Christ has little or no connection to the modern Worship Service Pattern which does ACTS to try to gain God's favor and uses MUSIC which DESTROYS the learning proces.
Matthew 28 teach what Jesus commanded to be taughtThe Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Christ:
Church is built upon (educated by) the Prophets and Apostles.
Peter left us a memory of his eye- and ear- witness teaching of the risen Jesus Christ.
Paul taught that the Prophets wrote by the Spirit OF Christ.
He warned that Jesus made the prophets more certain.
He wrote that this teaching was not subject to private interpretation which is further expounding.
Paul warned that the Word must not be corrupted or sold at retail meaning adultery.
Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
The danger of the Visible Church is
Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians 5:8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Ephesians 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding
what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit;
In this parallelism, the Will of the Lord is the Spirit
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.
In the Colossian version Paul makes it impossible to misunderstand
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,
to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians 3:16 Let the
word of Christ
dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,
do all in the name of the Lord [Kurios] Jesus,
giving thanks to God [Theos] and the Father by him
Ephesians 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own:
but because ye are not of the world,
but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you;
if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
John 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my names sake,
because they know not him that sent me.
John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
but now they have no cloke for their sin.
John 15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1175b.1
But things that are akin to things of different kinds must themselves differ in kind. [3] A still clearer proof may be drawn
from the hindrance that activities
receive from the pleasure derived from other activities.
For instance, persons fond of the flute
cannot give their attention to a philosophical discussion [The LOGOS]
when they overhear someone playing the flute,
because they enjoy music more than the activity in which they are engaged;
therefore the pleasure afforded by the music of the flute
impairs the activity of study.

THE WAY TO WORSHIP THE MUSES LED BY ABADDON OR APOLLYON[4] The same thing occurs in other cases when a man tries to do two things at once; the pleasanter activity drives out the other, the more so if it is much more pleasant, until the other activity ceases altogether.

If you FABRICATE a song or sermon then it is TRASH:Because the ROLE of the synagogue--ekklesia is to SPEAK one to another that which is written for our learning. NOTHING written for our learning is set to a meter and cannot be sung tunefully. Rather, the synagogue or COME TOGETHER is for the SYLLOGISM or reading the WORD and coming to an agreement; A DISCIPLE of Christ is a student of Christ and does not do music in any modern sense.

The LXX uses the word ekklesia to translate the Hebrew qahal. Qahal means to call, to assemble, and the noun form means a congregation or assembly. Solomon is called koheleth the Preacher, translated by the LXX ekklesiastes. The earliest known occurrence of the word is found in Job 30:28, I cried in the congregation. In the books of the law, qahal is rendered by the Greek word sunagoge, showing that the synagogue is the beginning of the New Testament church. Stephen in his speech which ended in his martyrdom referred to the history of Israel, and dwells for considerable length upon the one great leader Moses, saying in Acts 7:38:
- The church #1577 ekklesia - assembly, called out ones, set apart ones, congregation; in Hebrew this word is #6951 qahal (kahal) - a "synagogue" (E. W. Bullinger, Commentary on Revelation, p. 165-166), an assemblage, congregation, company from the root #6950 qahal meaning specifically a coming together, an assembling, a convocation, congregation; this word is used mostly for religious purposes (see William Wilson's Old Testament Word Studies, p. 92)
- And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, Deut 31:10
- When all Israel is come to appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. Deut 31:11
- Gather (h6950) the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates,
that they may hear,
and that they may learn,
- and fear the Lord your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: Deut 31:12

Hence, when we enjoy something very much, we can hardly do anything else; and when we find a thing only mildly agreeable, we turn to some other occupation; for instance, people who eat sweets at the theater do so especially when the acting is bad.
[ 5] And since our activities [of the flute] are sharpened, prolonged and improved by their own pleasure, and impaired by the pleasures of other activities, it is clear that pleasures differ widely from each other. In fact alien pleasures have almost the same effect on the activities as their own pains; since, when an activity causes pain, this pain destroys it, for instance, if a person finds writing or doing sums unpleasant and irksome; for he stops writing or doing sums, because the activity is painful.
Aristotle on Politics 8
2. or whether we ought rather to think that music tends in some degree to virtue (music being capable of producing a certain quality of character
just as gymnastics are capable of producing a certain quality of body,
music accustoming men to be able to rejoice rightly);
3. or that it contributes something to intellectual entertainment and culture (for this must be set down as a third alternative among those mentioned).
Now it is not difficult to see that one must not make amusement the object of the education of the young;
for amusement does not go with learning--learning is a painful process.
Jesus said that preaching the Word is a painful process: it will get you despised, rejected and killed.
Learning is a painful process: that is why THEOLOGY has replaced the WORD and you can just parott what the doctors of the Law tell you and force you to confess to make YOU a doctor of the law so that YOU can take away the key to knowledllge.
Never get neutered by a "musical worship service" which the texts Paul and John read trying to SILENCE the Words of Christ in song and sermon:
Hebrews 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. [ekzēt-eō ,]
1Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1Peter 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.
1Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things,
which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you
with the Holy Spirit (WORD John 6:63) sent down from heaven;
which things the angels desire to look into.
1Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
