Rick Atchley: Justification for sowing discord at Richland Hills. Part One review of "foundation."
Rick Atchley: Our prophecy in 2002. Links to most of the Stoneite "proofs" for instrumental music contrary to Biblical and historical repudiation.
Rick delivered his load on Biblical Proof texts. I am sure that it is common to look up verses in the lexicon and write sermons. Unfortunate for most of us, we suffered CHILD ABUSE at the hands of those ignorant of the Old Testament which begins with Lucifer the 'singing and harp playing prostitute' in the Garden of Eden and ends with the Mother of Harlots in Revelation 17 whose "operatives" are rhetoricians, singers and musicians whom John calls SORCERERS. I will review parts of this but there is no CONTEXT which would prove Rick and all of the "musicals" terminally ignorant or terminally evil.

Revised 5.17.13 Neither ANTI-instrumental hermeneuts nor the ANTI-anti-instrumentalists deny the Biblical, historical and the Campbell teaching that Qahal, synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ (the Rock) is A School of Christ or A School of the Word of Christ. Singing as an ACT (that legalism word) was first imposed in the year 373: that split the east from the west churches and history is filled with records of people imposing musicj. Music derived from mystery meant in all paganism including the sacrificial systems "making the lambs dumb before the slaughter." Jesus identified the doctors of the law as "taking away the key to knowledge." He called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: in the Ezekiel 33 version marked for avoidance "self-speakers, singers and talented instrument players." The MARK in several Old Testament versions is "we will NOT speak that for which we take away the living of widows and honest workers:
The CENI is defined by the Spirit OF Christ in the Wilderness and in the Prophets and prophecies made more certain by Jesus. The Apostles were eye-- and ear--witnesses of the risen Lord Who returned as The Holy Spirit (breath, wind) in the upper room. They mark as false teachers anyone who does not teach that PATTER of foundation:
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:20Acts 15:21 For Moses
of old time hath
in every city them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Paul commanded that we SPEAK that which is written for our learning (Romans 15). He also commanded that we fill up with SPIRIT (Word in Col 3:16) and Teach and Admonish with the Biblical material which includes "teaching psalms." This is in contrast to the drinking songs of the crooked race of the symposia where the goal was to become "fluted down with wine."
Both singing in the pagan sense and beating on "instruments of delusion" was worship IN THE FLESH which Paul rejects in Philippians 3 because it permitted the "conscision or dogs" to destroy the rest Jesus died to give us from the laded burdens of the arousal songs by Jews or Gentiles.
In contrast, if you use one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning you MUST keep the arousal singing and beating on instruments quiet and permit melody (or grace) to be IN the heart where grace means the divine influence of the GRACE which hath appeared teaching us to DENY the world's religions.

Devil Worship - Serpent Worship: All ancient traditions have instrumental music supplied by Satan to attack every body sensor to keep the Word of God from penetrating into the mind. John refused to baptize that generation of vipers: that points directly to the fact that the Cainites or Kenites were the dupes of the Roman government and most Israelites had bled because they refused to be "initiated" into music and sexuality in the Holy Places. Cain is derived from a musical note or mark and the lance-as in striking fast. His descendants are defined in the Bible: Jubal "handled" instruments WITHOUT AUTHORITY. And the Babylonian tablets define this like of the evil Lamech and assuredly Moses was warning the people AFTER they had been turned over to worship the heavenly stars (Acts 7). The fatal crime was musical idolatry of a trinity at Mount sinai.
Jesus clearly MARKED the sons of the Devil because "they speak on their own" and from their father. Rick and all sowers of discord have lied about every presumed-musical term in the Bible and all of church history. I will let you decide what Jesus Christ called him.
Peter said that we should save ourselves FROM that crooked generation: the skolios generation were the same perverted "new wineskinners" who sang and played songs in competition. Acts 2 has posted notes to prove WHO ARE THE PERVERSE AND CROOKED RACE OF PEOPLE.
Revelation 17 identifies the Mother of Harlots (Zoe, Eve, Circe, Inanna) and in Revelation 18 identifies the singers, musicians and all religious teknokrats as SORCERERS: that meant that the candles or seven spirits of God had ALREADY been removed.
THERE IS NO TRUTH IN ANY OF THE DEFENSES OF MUSIC AS WORSHIP. The message to Daniel was BOW OR BURN. The message is still much the same if in a more cautious way. We will look at the defense of "musical prophesying" in these links to see tha the connection between music AS worship and ancient demon worship.

Musical and Charismatic all relate to the worship word, THRESKIA. This was invented by Orpheus and other "Greek god." This speaks of ANY ritual claimed to move you into God's presence. The musical produced effects create endorphins which cause the effectsof FIGHT, FLIGHT or SEXUALITY.
The Naga Serpent appears in many languages. It is defined in the Bible by several terms. For instance, the Nachash is the serpent as a musical enchanter. At the same time, Paul said that Eve was wholly seduced in the sense that a wife is sexually active before the marriage. Cain is called "of the Evil one" and this leads to the conclusion that Cain was the son of Satan while Abel was the son of Adam: maternal twins.

Speaking directly to the "mantic" behaviour of music and speaking in tongues in Corinth, it is noted from the Classical writers that:
"The spirits were thought to speak in murmurings or piping sounds (Isa 8:19), which could be imitated by the medium (witch of Endor or ventriloquist)...Most spiritual and popular was the interpretation of dreams.
It also was the case that mediums intentionally would convert themselves into a semi-waking trance. In this way the suitable mediums attained to a certain kind of clarvoyance, found among various peoples.
This approaches the condition of an ecstatically aroused pseudo-prophet.. In Greece, too, oracles were pronounced by the Phythian prophetess who by vapors and the like was aroused to a practice of the mantic art. (Int Std Bible Ency, p. 2466)

The Pythia (priestess of Apollo who is Apollyon) of the Greek oracle at Delphi often went into an ecstatic state during which she uttered sounds revealed to her by the python (the snake, the symbol of resurrection), after drinking water from a certain spring.
Her "words" were then interpreted by a priest to help a suppliant find a way to avoid calamities, especially death. In primitive religions, ecstasy was a technique highly developed by shamans, religious personages with healing and psychic-transformation powers, in their "soul," or "spirit," flights.

Chapter XI.-How Great are the Benefits Conferred on Man Through the Advent of madness.
Contemplate a little, if agreeable to you, the divine beneficence.
The first man, when in Paradise, sported free, because he was the child of God;
but when he succumbed to pleasure (for the serpent allegorically signifies pleasure crawling on its belly, earthly wickedness nourished for fuel to the flames), was as a child seduced by lusts, and grew old in disobedience; and by disobeying his Father, dishonoured God.Such was the influence of pleasure. Man, that had been free by reason of simplicity, was found fettered to sins. The Lord then wished to release him from his bonds, and clothing Himself with flesh-O divine mystery!-vanquished the serpent, and enslaved the tyrant death; and, most marvellous of all, man that had been deceived by pleasure, and bound fast by corruption, had his hands unloosed, and was set free.
The serpents, however, of the magicians-(that is,) the gods of destruction-withstood the power of Moses in Egypt, but the rod of Moses reduced them all to subjection and slew them.
This universal serpent is, he says, the wise discourse of Eve.
[Eve, or ZOE, the Mediatrix, was honored because the serpent taught her feminine knowledge]
This, he says, is the mystery of Edem, this the river of Edem;
........ this the mark that was set upon Cain,
........ that any one who findeth him might not kill him. This, he says, is Cain, [Gen. iv. 15] whose sacrifice [Gen. iv. 5. ]
the god of this world did not accept.The ACU Agenda: Serve in Prophetic roles, Channelers and Facilitators the method of subverting the 'hierarchial" views of Jesus and Paul 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 " ( WOMEN IN THE CHURCH: Reclaiming the Ideal p. 32).
If you get nothing else please grasp that not among the Jews nor in the most vile pagan temples did the musicians enter into the Holy Places. Among the Jews, the Holy Place is a carnal type of the spiritual body of Christ. No Levitical musician could enter into this type of the church of Christ even to clean out the garbage.
The temple musicians in a "religious sense" (grouped with prostitutes in pagan religions) were in the court making a loud mocking noise during the sacrifice and burning of animals.
In fulfilment of the prophetic type, it was prophesied in Psalm 41 and fulfilled in the Dead Sea Scroll translation that Judas and the military musicians would attempt to turn Jesus into a coward. Click for some examples.
See Rick Atchley on INSTRUMENTAL MUSICapplauded by Restoration Forum of Christian Church. See that MUSIC connects to Satan and PERVERTED religion: "There is no other tradition."
Background to "Look To The Hills Leadership and Worship Conference." This is not a direct command worthy of sowing discord to introduce Feminist-Gnostic worship. Rather, the verse is a Question: "Shall I look to the Hills or Mountain Gods?? The answer is, "No, I will look to the CREATOR of the hills for my salvation." This is a coded invitation to end-times pagan ritualizing but NOT to worship.Our Hohenwald Church Topical Research

Speaking of the religious ritual
condemned by Amos and others we note that:
"The marzeah had an extremely long history extending at least from the 14th century B.C. through the Roman period. In the 14th century B.C., it was prominently associated with the ancient Canaanite city of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), on the coast of Syria... The marzeah was a pagan ritual that took the form of a social and religious association... Some scholars regard the funerary marzeah as a feast for--and with--deceased ancestors (or Rephaim, a proper name in the Bible for the inhabitants of Sheol)." (King, Biblical Archaeological Review, Aug, 1988, p. 35, 35) "These five elements are: (1) reclining or relaxing, (2) eating a meat meal, (3) singing with harp or other musical accompaniment, (4) drinking wine and (5) anointing oneself with oil." (King, p. 37). "Amos may have referred to sacred vessels at the marzeah to underscore its sacrilegious nature. At the same time, he may be emphasizing their unusually large capacity, in order to condemn the inordinate drinking that was an integral part of the marzeah." (King, p. 42, 43). "The effect of this demoralizing religion upon Hebrew society was seen in the corruption of justice, in wanton and luxurious living, and in the decay of social unity." (Living Bible Ency., p. 87). The rising up to play with musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. The Agapae began as a pagan festival. Early Christians adapted the Love Feast as a way for the PROSPEROUS to feed the DESTITUTE before they went to work. However, it was abandoned because it was impossible to bear the name of a pagan feast withoug the healthy "clouds without rain" beginning to ride on the POOR.
Comments: Smith believes lines 7-8 should be interpreted "Either literally, as `El walking through the underworld,
"With the wine-drinking (which is the literal meaning of the Hebrew for feasting), went music and dancing." (Heaton, E. W., Everyday Life in Old Testament times, Scribners, p. 93) "Worship was form more than substance; consequently, conduct in the marketplace was totally unaffected by worship in the holy place. Amos spoke from the conviction that social justice is an integral part of the Mosaic covenant, which regulates relations not only between God and people, but also among people." (King, p. 44). "In pagan traditions, musical instruments are invented by gods or demi-gods, such as titans. In the Bible, credit is assigned to antediluvian patriarchs, for example, the descendants of Cain in Genesis 4:21. There is no other biblical tradition about the invention of musical instruments." (Freedman, David Noel, Bible Review, Summer 1985, p. 51). When Paul warned the Ephesians "Don't get drunk with wine" the word is METHUEO. Note that the word fluteIST or PsalmODIA was translated into the Latin it included the word PARASITE. Methuôn kai katauloumenos (Drinking and overpowering with the flute.)
Only those not driven mad (manomai) by wine which DEMANDED the flute player to totally pipe down the person, could they SPEAK to one another with THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN and leave the SINGING and PLAYING in the heart. In the book of Revelation the WINE was not just intoxicants. Rather, the Muses resurrected as LOCUSTS lulled the people to sleep with music and instruments. With: "methuôn kai katauloumenos drinking wine to the strains of the flute
Methuo (g3184) meth-oo'-o; from another form of 3178; to drink to intoxication, i.e. get drunk: - drink well, make (be) drunk (-en).
Babylon is the prostitute religion of performance preaching and music:
When Samson has to serve as a GRINDER in the king's house, he did not grind barley. The grinders were concubines and prostitutes serving the king who could afford them:
Singers, performers
Pharmakos
Aeschylus, Eumenides
Apollo is Satan: he is the Abaddon or Apollyon of the book of Revelation who LOOSES the LOCUSTS to sting with THEIR MARK. The locusts were the MUSES of Apollo who had, in the Legends of John's Patmos, offended the mother of the gods (Eve, Zoe, Mary) and been turned into locusts (musical performers) and sent into the underworld. The MUSICIANS are the locusts who DRIVE AWAY those with the Mark of The Word of God: the SEAL or stamp given at baptism where we REQUEST A clear consience which is A holy spirit. They then CAPTURE those with the mark of Apollo and TORTURE them with music until Jesus returns. Sure, music produces endorphins (morphine within) which have the effect of FIGHT, FLIGHT or SEXALITY. No one captured is going to ever get loose according to writings contemporaneous with the Bible. |
All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: Matthew 13:34That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Matthew 13:35
(Ouroboros from 1760 Tail-swallowing Serpent, symbol of time and eternity) Alexander Roob's The Hermetic Museum Alchemy & Mysticism, page 402)
The Egyptian Cobra is the "trumpet" image of Satan whose "hiss" is the magic of brass instruments with the power to paralyze the mind God created in humans. Jesus did say that the truth was hidden in parables "from the foundation of the world" to keep truth away from those who do not love truth.
This symbol is also called, "Ouroboros", but its meaning is deeper. "This snake, sometimes called the Ouroboros, is a symbol of Time, from which alone Wisdom (Sophia) springs. The snake encircles the two symbols of the extremes of created life (Zoe) -- the child and the death-symbol of the skull. Between them, the child and skull are intended to symbolize the 'beginning and then end'. As a whole, the emblem may be interpreted as meaning, 'In the end, is my beginning', or 'The End is Found in the Beginning', which is approximately what the Latin around the circle means." [ Magic Symbols, Ibid.] These two statements are speaking of the pagan belief in Reincarnation I also am offended by the fact that the Satanist views the entire created world as being surrounded and controlled by the serpent, as this second Ouroboros depicts. But, I guess the Bible states that Satan is the "Lord of this World", is the "Prince of the Power of the Air", and is generally in control of this wicked world until Jesus Christ returns. From
See the gods of the air in 1 Corinthians.
The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia Serpent Worship.
"Traces of this superstition are thought by certain critics to be discoverable in the religion of Israel. Stade mentions that W. R. Smith supposed the serpent to be the totem of the house of David (Geschichte, I, 465). H. P. Smith says: "We know of a Serpent's Stone near Jerusalem, which was the site of a sanctuary (1 Kings 1:9), and this sanctuary was dedicated to Yahweh" (Hist of Old Testament, 239, 240). Special reliance is placed on the narrative of the brazen serpent, which Hezekiah is recorded to have destroyed as leading to idolatry, (2 Kings 18:4). "In that case," says H. P. Smith, "we must treat the Nehushtan as a veritable idol of the house of Israel, which had been worshipped in the temple from the time of its erection. Serpent worship is so widespread that we should be surprised not to find traces of it in Israel" (ut supra). In the same line, see G. B. Gray, Nu, 275-76. The fancifulness of these deductions is obvious. See NEHUSHTAN. James OrrThe following is a brief look at the overwhelming evidence which associates the worship of the devil or the serpent with music. Based on the Hebrew words and many ancient traditions the serpent is symbolic of the Babylonian "sacred prostitute" religion which will continue until the end (Revelation 18).

Worship with music came from the pagan "gods." "There is no other tradition." What did Jude know (that we don't know) about the "Wandering Stars" and God coming with ten thousand of His host to execute Judgment? Music is not evil but science and common sense knows that you cannot "give attendance to the reading of the Word" and watch the theatrical performance at the same time. However, traditionalism makes it hard to get out of the music trap once you have been seduced: that is the meaning of the following collection of connecting music as worship uniquely to Satan.Home...Apocalyptic. ..Apocryphal. ..Awakening... .Baptism.. ..Caneridge.. .Colonial...Church. ...Godhead.. ..MaxLucado.. .
