"There are some references to rare use of organs or harps, etc. as early as the 7th Century in Catholic historical documents but this was was rare and was so innovative as to be considered as heretical for nearly a thousand years after this."

As late as 1911 it was unlawful to use musical instruments in the presence of he Pope. As the "vicar" of Christ he well knew that they tried to seduce Jesus with music. Therefore, in the late 15th century the Vatican organized male, castrated choirs to perform in the style of the organ (organum) for the Sistine Chapel. Therefore, a cappella is after the chapel. It explicitly introduced choirs using the style of the theater.

A Cappella in the chorus sense was one of the primary scandals of Catholicism

Another view of A Cappella

Modern Revival of A cappella in "worship teams."

However, the Catholic Encyclopedia confesses that she borrowed music along with many other pagan cult practices when pagan priests came flocking into the church after Constantine. The Encyclopedia nevertheless recognizes the vocal, congregational singing of the Bible text as the correct form.

The church is commanded to teach with the revealed Word of Christ and the singing (secular) and melody (destructive, abrading) was to be in the heart. Rather than directing the sentimentality of the audience to fill the collection plates the "spirit" was devoted to God.

American Restoration Movement Top

Throughout history faithful people have tried to trim off the clergy and liturgy imposed by tradition which admittedly cam primarily from the common pagan cults. The Reformation is one part of that movement although many of the errors crept back in. Culminating in the 1800s Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians and others merged to remove all human-imposed rituals so that divergent groups could meet together to "synagogue" or study the word as the recognized meaning of worship.

Much of what we see as revivalistic religion grew up in a soup similar to the places and attitudes which gave rise to witchcraft. Therefore, we have collected some colonial literature which relates to religion, witchcraft and the people of the time. Preachers persecuted people back then as they were trampled under the hoofs of the next king of billy goat hill.

This will prepare for the next section which is the outbreak of revivalistic religion which would be written off in earlier times, especially in Europe, as witchcraft. The yesterday's burnable or hangable witch was today's marvel of religious conversion.

Baptism Top

Baptism Index of 37 Research Papers

Prior to Zwingli the common view was that baptism was required. In Scripture it is not treated as a "punched ticked to heaven." Rather, only by remitting sins can one have a "clear view" or a co-perception of the Mind or Spirit of Christ. The sin is not in not getting wet but according to Jesus it is in "rejecting the counsel of God for your life." You are promised A holy spirit or a mind enlightened by open eyes and unplugged ears only in connection with baptism.

Baptismal Formula

Index of 38 Scholars and Papers

Jesus said that all authority of the Godhead dwelled in Him. Therefore, one could baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit by baptizing in the name of Jesus. Peter could grasp that and in all of the Bible people are baptized in the single name or by the authority of Jesus Christ: never "Father, Son and Spirit." When the trinitarian baptismal formula was later invented they quite logically baptized the candidate three times.

Clapping Hands as Worship Top

Throughout the Bible and lots of secular history, clapping of hands was to insult the loosers. Hand clapping is defined by the same word as "driving a tent peg into the brain." It is a MARK that a people have been captured. In the new Purpose Driven Cult it is a way to train up immature children to become immature adults addicted to self-directed worship. Hand clapping and singing says more about one's gender than they may want to be known.

This index groups literature of the period from Egypt, Greece and Rome. We have selected those documents which speak to the Bible or to Christian worship. For instance, it is impossible to grasp Paul's allusions without knowing the background. The Greeks had a wonderful way of ridiculing ceremonial worship trying to wake up the gods like little boys with music or trying to appease the hostile gods by feeding, clothing, housing, entertaining and having sex with the gods (or their priests, of course)/.

Core Gospel, the Top

Perhaps most christian universities and churches subscribe to the notion that the Bible is not inspired. The "sugar which makes the medicine go down" is to preach the CORE gospel and shame anyone who goes beyond and preaches Paul's doctrine as a legalist and enemy of the people because it automatically teaches different doctrincal views. The CORE gospel concept is a cult-like effort to make it illegial for a Baptist, Presbyterian or other to disagree. The UN is busily make a law.

Paul "Knowing only Christ and Him Crucified" Insulting the Corinthians

Knowing only Christ and Him Crucified absolutely removes the CORE ONLY preachers from the payroll."

Rubel Shelly articulates it this way: when Christ didn't return as promised the apostles needed to justify their being deluded. Therefore, using their old but poor memories of what Jesus taught and by SIFTING it through philosophy they came up with, say the gospel of John, to fit their own personal agenda.

The total Bible has been sifted and all that is left is the core gospel of 7 facts ABOUT Jesus. You cannot and will not be permitted to teach any doctrine outside of that core gospel as true.

Lightfoot making fun of Ussher making fun said: "No. God created the universe at 9:00 AM, October 23, 4004 B.C. and closer than that he couldn't calculate." Preachers say if you will buy my books and call me to lecture I will show you how God did it. Science says, "no, the universe was created 20 billion years ago and we know exactly how it was done back to within one trillionth of a second and if you will give me money and take my course I will give you the secret. Ooops! it was really only 10 billion years ago." Jesus said that God had always revealed in parables from the foundation of the world and Job and Jeremiah confirm it. God will tell you free of charge.

Hands, Lifting "holy" hands Top

No one really "lead public prayers." Prayer is personal. Lifting holy hands would be like one holding a book for reading: palm up. There is no concept of "lifting holy arms" above your head whereas this has always said more about one's gender than they may want to say.

As God's Holy Spirit is to the Mind of Christ (1 Cor 2) my spirit is to my mind: mind and spirit are often interchangeable.

This table is the way classical trinitarians or inventers of the word identify the SON of the FATHER as the WORDS which are made audible to mankind.  

-	Father	Thought
God Invisible Incomprehensible	Son	Word
	Spirit	Breath

There is only ONE God. The 1940's view of God as a family, clan or committee is a destructive heresy. The word "trinity" in the historical views NEVER envisioned three, separated persons of a God family. Neither is God a person: I am a person (people) but I am not god; my dog has personality but he is not God. The writers did not use the word person but personae. That is, the ONE, undividedGod manifests Himself in three images. At time, He is Arm, Door or Way but these are personificatons. We will look at most of the major historical writings about the Godhead but never find three gods holding a planning conference.

Instrumental Music By Authors Top

Instrumental Music By Authors Over 300 ancient and modern documents on music as worship. The
See a great summary of why Presbyterians and others rejected music as worship because music had never been used in "worship."

"Music" is never used in the Bible to describe spiritual worship to God. Rather, the Greek Sumphonia speaks of true music which in the classics is often defined as "singing and dancing." Music defines the end-time Babylonian Harlot worship as it defined the beginning Babylonian religion at the towers of Babylon. Paul never commanded "singing" as we know it. Rather, his often direct command is to "teach one another" and the only resource available to us is "that which has been written" (Rom 15), The Spirit (Eph 5) which Jesus said is His Word (John 6:63) and "the word of Christ" (Col. 3). Complex harmony (organum) accomplishes the same mind-deluding goal as instrumental music. Both defeat the purpose for which Paul used the word "singing" as the internal result of outward speaking or teaching or preaching.

Jubilee and the Y2K expectations Top

Reviews of published documents on the Jubilee and The New Wineskins Movement

In 1987 the Pope called for Jubilee 2000 with intermediate Jubilees. Rubel Shelly, Steve Flatt formed the Jubilee Corporation to promote the urge for an ecumenical church which if not organized with would recognize a one world religion. The CORE gospel and the Post Modern, Post Biblical view made it difficult to throw away old views and form a music to restructure churches of Christ around a Gnostic structure. To that end they organized huge gatherings to teach people how to "raise holy hands, clap hands, lay on hands, sing and play instruments around the Asherah poles" and a host of efforts in an attempt to fracture the old churches of Christ and give them a second incarnation as a neo-pagan system. The Jubilee implies a need for an atonement which one gained, like the Catholics, by attending the mass meetings and denouncing the old churches. This Jubilee pattern includes the idea of breaking up the ownership of individual property and returning it to the "tribal groups."

Kabbalah: Law and Temple as Judgment Top

While Christians are tempted to skip the real story and see the temple as God's ordained place and method of worship. the Bible would say: nonsense. When Jerusalem fell for the last time the Jewish scholars rejected their traditions and returned to the Old Testament. They were quite astounded to find that the Law had been added because of transgression and the Temple was "like the nations" or a pagan temple because that is what the Israelite demanded to go along with their human king.

Paul always identifies prayer as "praying in the spirit."

Seems like all of life is a miracle. Certainly answered prayer is supernatural. However, the term "answered prayer" and "a miracle" have different meanings. In fact, Jesus got Himself threatened with death to suggests that "miracles are rare." A miracle is "God's design of certifying that this teacher or leader has been commissioned by him." (Luke 4:27). Those in the synagogue flew into an orge of wrath and tried to throw Him off a high hill. So, if answered prayer is a miracle Jesus said "there won't be many."

Serpent Worship - Devil Worship - Music Top

Serpent Worship

The musician in the garden was Lucifer! The Naga or Nachash which defines the serpent in the garden was the shining one. He came equipped with musical instruments and the brass or copper connection personifies him as the Chaldean astrologyer or soothsayers. The dark forest revivalistic meetings are described much like the Devil worship still practiced. Lucifer in his/her feminine form is Sophia (wisdom) and Zoe (life). Sophia is identified as the serpent and zoe is identified as the beast or "female instructing principle." The serpent principle promotes feminine or effeminate leadership. This is seen in the modern Mary Worship and the Sophia-Zoe worship among protestants. The LOOK TO THE HILLS concept is a second incarnation of the first fall when Satan used the youth to LOOK TO THE HILLS and using choirs, instruments, perverted sex and all of the rest, seduce the holy people DOWN FROM THE HILLS where the Word dwelled with them to which they could never return.

Singing as Worship Top

There is no command to sing as an act of worship in the New Testament. The direct command it to TEACH one another. In Romans 15 the resource is "that which has been written," In Ephesians 5 the Spirit and in Colossians 3 it is the Word of Christ. Jesus said that His Words ARE spirit and life. Singing in the Greek world was a purely "secular" activity while speaking was a religious activity. Melody is not Harmony but the word "melody" speaks of the grinding into powder by the warriors chant. It is derived from the twanging bowstring sending a singing arrow into your heart. It is related to the SOP Jesus had fed Judas: the Judas Bag carried "mouthpieces of wind instruments." Even what David did as "worship" was speaking to himself with the Word and "musing" on it or making melody in his own heart or spirit--even on his bed at night.

Soothsaying Top

Soothsaying, Necromancy, Witchcraft. The serpent in the garden is not identified as a "snake" except in the sense of hissing or whispering. The Hebrew word defines the peoples skilled in enchanting or "charming" people into sin or out of their property by the mind-altering magic of music. The word "Chaldean" is almost equivalent to the word "astrologer." Jubal "handled" musical instruments where handled means "without authority." The familiar spirit of the witch of Endor was an empty wine or water skin. By mumbling into its hollow space it became like a "nebel" or the sounding brass of 1 Cor 13. People have still not grown above the superstition of being fooled that a musical performer is speaking the voice of angels or gods.

David Hume - Superstition - Enthusiasm

John Wesley - Enthusiasm - Revivalism

Speaking in tongues took two forms. First, the prophetesses at, say, the Oracle of Delphi dedicated to Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) would get zapped out of her mind sniffing burning poppy seed, hallucinating drugs and chewing laurel leaves which make my deer foam at the mouth and go crazy. All pagans believed that emotionally and sexually confused people in their insanity were inspired by the gods (demons). Philo coined the word enthusiasm or Enthus O Mania meaning out of your mind or possessed by the demons. This was an almost exclusive female ability to "prophesy" and sell it at a price too high.

Second, of the 75 the languages the Greeks recognized, there were 5 languages or major dialects. All of the barbarian languages were called tongues. There is no such thing as "unknown tongues" spoken of by Paul. Paul excluded the gibberish form of uncovered prophesying in 1 Cor 11:5 and highly regulated the use of tongues other than the common one understood by a church. Paul did not speak gibberish but as a gifted Apostle he spoke more "languages" or the lesser tongues where he had to preach.

As Catholics claimed that Latin was the power or magical language of liturgy, the Corinthians believed that a prayer or song in some barbarian tongue had angelic power even if the speaker did not know the language. By analogy, a priest may not know much Latin but enough to speak the magic. The Yezdis of iraq were devil worshipers who spoke their magic in a language the did not understand. Paul said that you might find a time to use that language but NOT IN CHURCH. Paul spoke many minor dialects.

Tertullian - The Shows, or De Spectaculis - Showtime "Worship"

Jesus said that God will only note our worship which is "in spirit." That is the human spirit or mind (nous) as the holy place (nao) where God seeks us.

Prayer was in the spirit or mind of each individual. You can pray on my behalf but you cannot lead me in prayer because I am out of my "spirit" and giving heed to you.

Baptism means to immerse or bathe in water. We can wash our bodies but only Christ can sprinkle the blood.

God gave the Law "because of this transgression" and turned them over to worship the starry host including the S.U.N. as their god. This worship shows up as Astarte or Easter sun worship.

Sunday Versus Sabbath Top

The sabbath was not a "day of worship" but a day of "rest." The Babylonian Sabbath allowed the "gods to rest on the sabbath but forced the people to work. The Lord's Day was observed for the assembly which was not called worship but "school." Those who worship on the sabbath as opposed to resting on the sabbath profoundly break the Sabbath in fact and in spirit.

Synagogue Top

The synagogue always existed although it is normally called an assembly. Music was outlawed during these assemblies which were for instruction (Num. 10:7). The "people's congregation" worshiped in study of the word and in their own personal prayers. The temple was for the civil-state rituals. By analogy, Washington Cathedral is primarily for state "worship rituals."

Tabernacle Top

God ordained the tabernacle "within the camp" of Israel to be the symbolic sign of God's presence and the people's easy access. After Israel rose up to play in musical idolatry at Mount Sinai, God appointed the Levites to guard the Tabernacle against the approach of the people who were now "strangers." They were never in the Tabernacle or Temple during animal sacrifices.

The result of the sin at Mount Sinai

Temple Top

After the elders "fired" God and demanded a king like the nations so that they could worship like the nations, God "gave them kings in His anger and later took them away in His anger." The Temple was identical to all pagan temples but it was not a congregational worship center. Rather it was headquarters of the temple-state. Therefore, only the king, clergy and representative civil servants participated in animal sacrifices.

When the Jewish system failed, the scholars went back and read the history of the Exodus and the temple. It became clear in hindsight that Mount Sinai and building the temple was the MARK that God had abandoned the people to their own devices. The Levites did not occupy the holy place typical of the church and assuredly any Levite musician who attempted to "boldly come before the throne of grace" with instruments would have been killed.

Tithing Top

The Israelite farmers who moved into Canaan were given tribal lands. These were often developed pastures, orchards, vineyards with houses, wells and cattle. For that, he paid 10% of ONLY the food produced on the land as rent. 9% of the food went to the Levites who performed many of the civil functions. 1% went to the priests who were always vocational ministers. There was never a demand to tithe cash made from other efforts other than things like import / export taxes and etc.

Voodoo Top

During the Second Great American Awakening the charismatic breakdown was found to be facilitated by singing a new form of "praise hymn." People abandoned singing the Biblical text for teaching and turned to secular, mind-manipulating music to force people into a mental derangement which could be toted back to the Calvinists as proof that they were saved. These hymns are a direct product with the slaves' double-talk to curse the master while seeming to praise him. This had a strong Voodoo connection.

Most of the problem with women in public "worship" acts is the result of the problem with men in public acts. However, Paul used the word authentia which in contemporary writings was not "being boss." Rather, it was sexual authority. A non-silent or non-sedentary female in the presence of a pack of males simply cannot perform rituals without exercising authentia which is "both erotic and murderous." I love the approved example of Jesus who stood up to read the Word resting on the pulpit but then He did not rest on the pulpit but had the common decency to sit down. It is also a fact that a male cannot do body rituals and rhetorical exercises without becoming a BLOCK between the people and God.
