Instrumental Music in Worship
To Ask "Instrumental Music in Worship?" proves that most do not know the meaning of Church or Worship. Many (most) are called but few (nil) are chosen. That is because the call or invitation is to be extended by evangelists going into all the world and preaching the gospel.
Dozens of passages from THE BIBLE declare that instrumental music is sinful. The Bible tells DISCIPLES that it is so.
The Stark Warlick Debate 'sealed the separation in Henderson over the instrument."
O. E. Payne used as Basis for the North American Christian Convention
The gospel or good news is that Jesus died to terminate the laded burden and the burden laders: He called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrite. The reference to "mouth religion" was laid out in great detail by the Spirit OF Christ in the prophets: in the Ezekiel 33 version the hypocrites were entertaining preachers for profit, talented singers and skillful instrument players. They are NOTHING MORE than entertainers because the preacher nor the audience has any intention of obeying anything that comes to Ezekiel by the Spirit OF Christ.
John Calvin called for the Restoration of the Church of Christ by removing anything but the Word which he said carried the Spirit. Calvin did not REMOVE instruments from worship because they had not be used in the official parts of the Catholic mass. In fact, there was nothing that could be sung tunefully or accompanied when people were honorable enough to speak that which was written for out learning.
The Campbells brought the partial-Calvin Restoration Principle to America. Their statement on the purpose of the local society or gathering in each community was identical to the definition of the Synagogue after Israel fell into musical idolatry of polytheism (Egyptian trinity) represented by Apis the golden calf representing a real bull worshipped in Egypt. It was the synagogue or ekklesia practiced by the Jews and which quarantined them from all of the Sun-worship serviced held on the evil seventh day inherited from Babylon along with the tithe to support a clergy system at the towers of Babylon.
In the Christian Baptists 1824
Thomas Campbell in blue: "who, at the same time are ignorant of, and even averse to, the religion it inculcates; and whilst others profess to embrace it as a system of religion,
without imbibing the spirit, realizing the truth, and experiencing the power of its religious institutions; but merely superstruct to themselves, rest in, and are satisfied with, a form (acts) of godliness; and that, very often, a deficient, imperfect form, or such as their own imagination has devised;
"let us, with an open bible before us, distinguish and contemplate that religion which it enjoins and exhibits--I mean the religion of christianity, for it also exhibits the religion of Judaism;
But the men most and best informed upon the subject of theology rest themselves upon this universal article, and hold all the various superstructures erected thereon to be at least doubtful, if not altogether artificial.
... but with this, in the mean time,
... we christians have nothing directly to do--
... we derive our religion immediately from the New Testament. TC
See Why Thomas Paine was a Deist.
The intellectual part of religion is a private affair between every man and his Maker, and in which no third party has any right to interfere.
The practical part consists in our doing good to each other.
But since religion has been made into a trade, [NOTE: French: "since the most scandalous hypocrisy has made of Religion a profession and the basest trade." -- Editor.
the practical part has been made to consist of ceremonies performed by men called priests;
and the people have been amused with ceremonial shows, processions, and bells.
By devices of this kind true religion has been banished; and such means have been found out to extract money even from the pockets of the poor, instead of contributing to their relief.
- [NOTE: French adds: "du superflu de la richesse." (from their superfluous wealth). -- Editor.]
No man ought to make a living by Religion. It is dishonest so to do.
While the Clergy SUPERSTRUCT and make war over what they call A Worship Service service with or without machines, the MARK OF THE BEAST is the ancient and modern worship of the Babylonian Mother of harlots and defined for the FEW who are chosen to sit down, shut up and listen to the Word of God. Christ in the prophets repudiates all of the performing arts and crafts and specifically the harp David used to Awaken his harp so he could awaken the Dawn:
Habakkuk 2:18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?Remember that Jesus said that truth had been hidden in parables from the foundation of the World. This was to hide the truth from merchandisers such as the Scribes and Pharisees Jesus called hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33 version Christ names self-speakers or entertainers for hire, singers and instrument players as the hypocrites. This would prevent an invasion of evil spirits always seeking whom he might devour. Let's begin with the beginning where the "serpent" was BEAST and a musical enchanter(ess).
Habakkuk 2:19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE SERPENT WHO WAS SMARTER THAN THE "BEASTS." IN PARABLE, THESE ARE THE PAGAN GODDESSES TO WHOM ISRAEL WOULD BE EXPOSED WHEN GOD SENTENCED THEM "BEYOND BABYLON" BECAUSE OF MUSICAL IDOLATRY.
From the serpent as Musical Enchanter(ess) onward the BITE is fatal when is forces one to identify the emotional (sexual) feelings in the FLESH as the Spirit of God's influence. Music is one of the most addictive drug producers: that's why the USE music and USE women.

SOME HEBREW NOTES ON THE BASKETS USED IN GREEK-INFLUENCE IN SAMARIA
Keluwb (h3619) kel-oob'; from the same as 3611; a bird-trap (as furnished with a clap-stick or treadle to spring it); hence a basket (as resembling a wicker cage): - basket, cage.
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. Je.5:27
Keleb (h3611) keh'leb; from an unused root mean. to yelp, or else to attack; a dog; hence (by euphemism) a male prostitute: - dog.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly [multitude, swarm] of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. Ps.22:16
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Is.56:11
And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the Lord: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy. Je.15:3
Aoidê [aeidô]1. song, a singing, whether the art of song, Hom.; or the act of singing, song, Il.
Therefore I would have you bring no shame upon me, now when your youthful loveliness attracts men's gaze. The tender ripeness of summer fruit is in no way easy to protect; beasts despoil it--and men, why not?-- [1000] and brutes that fly and those that walk the earth. Love's goddess spreads news abroad of fruit bursting ripe. . . . So all men, as they pass, [1005] mastered by desire, shoot an alluring arrow of the eye at the delicate beauty of virgins. See to it, therefore, that we do not suffer that in fear for which we have endured great toil and ploughed the great waters with our ship; and that we bring no shame to ourselves and exultation to our enemies. Housing of two kinds is at our disposition, [1010] the one Pelasgus offers, the other, the city, and to occupy free of cost. These terms are easy. Only pay heed to these behests of your father, and count your chastity more precious than your life.

Aresko or Hedone is forbidden by Paul as self-pleasure in Romans 15. This is to silence the "diet" sects in Romans 14 which were all highly addicted to the sexual pleasure induced by music.

Pi.P.9.19 Pindar Pithian 9.[1] With the help of the deep-waisted Graces I want to shout aloud proclaiming the Pythian victory with the bronze shield of Telesicrates, a prosperous man, the crowning glory of chariot-driving Cyrene; [5] the long-haired son of Leto once snatched her from the wind-echoing glens of Mt. Pelion, and carried the girl of the wilds in his golden chariot to a place where he made her mistress of a land rich in flocks and most rich in fruits, to live and flourish on the root of the third continent. [9] Silver-footed Aphrodite welcomed [10] the Delian guest from his chariot, touching him with a light hand, and she cast lovely modesty on their sweet union, joining together in a common bond of marriage the god and the daughter of wide-ruling Hypseus. He was at that time king of the proud Lapiths, a hero of the second generation from Oceanus; [15] in the renowned glens of Mt. Pindus a Naiad bore him, Creusa the daughter of Gaia, delighting in the bed of the river-god Peneius. [17] And Hypseus raised his lovely-armed daughter Cyrene. She did not care for pacing back and forth at the loom, nor for the delights of luncheons with her stay-at-home companions; [20] instead, fighting with bronze javelins and with a sword, she killed wild beasts, providing great restful peace for her father's cattle; but as for her sweet bed-fellow, sleep, [25] she spent only a little of it on her eyelids as it fell on them towards dawn. [26] Once the god of the broad quiver, Apollo who works from afar, came upon her wrestling alone and without spears with a terrible lion.

You say right; I care for no dainties. Drink away, Piper; drink, if you do drink. I' faith, this must be drunk--don't shirk it. Holds the goblet to the PIPER. Why flinch at what you see must be done by you? Why don't you drink? Do it, if you are to do it. Take it, I tell you, for the public pays for this. That's not your way to shirk your drink. Take your pipes out of your mouth. The PIPER drinks.
14 Take your pipes: The "Tibicines," "Pipers" or "flute-players," among the Greeks and Romans, were in the habit of playing upon two pipes at the same time. These were perfectly distinct, and were not even, as has been supposed by some, connected by a common mouth-piece. The Romans were particularly fond of this music, and it was introduced both at sacrifices, funerals, and entertainments. See a comical story about the Roman "Tibicines" in the Fasti of Ovid, B. 6, l. 670 et seq. From the present specimen they appear to have been merry souls, occupying much the same place as the country fiddlers of modern times.

Isaiah 57:20] impii autem quasi mare fervens quod quiescere non potest et redundant fluctus eius in conculcationem et lutum
Contradicting the clear Biblical teaching, imposing female (or effeminate) leadership causes the WRATH (orgy) to break out. This can be prevented if the men lift holy palms (as reading) and them women remain silent. In their words USING music and USING women seems to be described by Christ in Isaiah 57:20 saying that THEY CANNOT sit down and listen to the word being PREACHED as it is READ for our comfort and doctrine. If you have absorbed the regularly-appointed text then you can question one another at home.
Paul says that the elders should CAST OUR or SILENCE the diversity to enable the ONLY worship word to take place: learning and absorbing the text. After all, Disciples of Christ go to A School of Christ and not to a worship service which demands DOING lots of things in the belief that God can be moved by ignoring the COMMANDED text and then setting your OWN words to complex music.

Paul said that the liberated Jews worshipped in the SPIRIT in contrast to in the FLESH. This was to forbid the dogs or concision: catamites.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. Phil 3:2
The pagan THESIS included women worshipping goddesses and seducing men by wine, drugs, motion or music. The object was to strip them of their food money. The Spirit of Christ in Isaiah 50 prophesied against those who would Smite Him and Pluck in a musical sense to silence Him and therefore MOCK Him.
in Isaiah 55 warned us NOT to spend our food money on the Word which He supplied free of charge. He equated His WORDS to SPIRIT.
In Isaiah 58 He commanded us not to seek our own pleasure or even speak our own words. He warned against PARASITES trying to get into the act: all sacrificial musicians were called PARASITES.
History notes that only women and effeminate men can be seduced by religious money: a male who plays and sings is noted to be "drunk, gender-confused or just having fun."

- -Satyric Drama
- The material for a satyric drama, like that for a tragedy, was taken from an epic or legendary story, and the action, which took place under an open sky, in a lonely wood, the haunt of the Satyrs, had generally an element of tragedy; but the characteristic solemnity and stateliness of tragedies was somewhat diminished, without in any way impairing the splendour of the tragic costume and the dignity of the heroes introduced. The amusing effect of the play did not depend so much on the action itself, as was the case in comedy, but rather on the relation of the chorus to that action. That relation was in keeping with the wanton, saucy, and insolent, and at the same time cowardly, nature of the Satyrs. The number of persons in the chorus is not known; probably there were either twelve or fifteen, as in tragedy. In accordance with the popular notions about the Satyrs, their costume consisted of the skin of a goat, deer, or panther, thrown over the naked body, and besides this a hideous mask and bristling hair. The dance of the chorus in the satyric drama was called sikinnis or sikinnon, and consisted of a fantastic kind of skipping and jumping. The only satyric play now extant is the Cyclops of Euripides (translated into English by Shelley), though the Alcestis of the same poet has some satyric features. The Romans did not imitate this kind of drama in their literature (Marius Victor, in Gram. Lat. vi. 82), although, like the Greeks, they composed amusing afterpieces following their serious plays. See Welcker, Griech. Tragödie, 1361; and Exodium.

Met. x. p. 251).The Dionysiac or Bacchic and the Corybantian were of a very different nature. In the former, the life and adventures of the god were represented by mimetic dancing (see Dionysia); the dance called Bakkhikē was a satyric dance, and chiefly prevailed in Ionia and Pontus; the most illustrious men in the State danced in it, representing Titans, Corybantians, satyrs, and husbandmen, and the spectators were so delighted with the exhibition that they remained sitting the whole day to witness it, forgetful of everything else

Again: They are substituted for the Bible, and tend to prevent free discussion. They are good for nothing unless used--and if used, they must be used as laws, or rules, or standards of doctrine. And if used in any of these ways, they are substituted for the Book of Christ left for the same purpose. They are used as a synopsis of religious truth, and save the trouble of searching the whole Bible for it.Jesus commanded the only role as the Evangelists who was to GO into the world and teach and disciple by Baptism and Teaching what Jesus commanded to be taught. Jesus did not command a worship service and said that the Kingdom of God is within us and does not come or cannot be observed by religious observations other than assemblying to LEARN OF ME says Jesus. To that He added the Lord's Supper as a visual aid to remember His death. If we grasp that Jesus died to be our ONLY mediator in song or sermon then we gracefully sit down and shut up and observe the PATTERN for the church. Both Jews and Gentiles were wise unto salvation because.
Every church should be a theological school, and all the members should be students. It does no good for the minister to preach unless the people think. The church should be all awake, and engaged in discussion, and then [140] they would be prepared to be benefitted by the public labors of the minister.
If we would engage to build up, and not content ourselves with tearing down, we should do more. It will do no good to cry out against sectarianism.
There are warm-hearted, conscientious Christians in the sects; and if we will go on and do the work they love to see done better than they can do it in their own way, they will fall in; and before we are aware, the great sects will be gone. The labor of the church is to persuade men to turn to Christ; and let us go out into the highways and hedges, and labor and build up; and sectarianism will dissolve away like the dew.

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time

There is no Biblical command, example or inference that any of God's disciple's ever left their REST for congregational singing with out without instruments. In fact the Qahal, synagogue, Ekklesia or Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wilderness is clearly defined:
INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of Go
EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing or performance speaking
The Synagogue of Christ never changed: removing the burden of the sacrificial system enable liberty for people to reject religious ceremonial and simply learn the Word of God as it was made known.
John Calvin who called for A Restoration of the Church of Christ understood the text. Restoration simply meant ELEMENTING the burdensome superstitions which had been heaped onto the church.
The Levites were not as claimed "Musical Worship leaders with Instruments." In fact the command of God was that the stand in ranks with swords and make a great noise of prophesying which is "soothsaying" or "sorcery" since they were not prophets. They would EXECUTE any godly person or even a Levite not on rare duty if they came near the sacrificial system or holocause or into any covered house. Christ in the prophets said that God did NOT command the Civil-Military-Clergy complex and called them robbers and parasites. A parasite in the sacrificial systems was made loud instrumental noise "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."
This was a "covenant with death and hell" by which the Jews believed that they could prevent the Spiritual God from noticing them and would protect them from evil forces.
That Covenant with Death or Shadow was annuled to make spiritual freedom possible FROM rhetoricians, singers, instrument players and tithe collectors.

The scourer: The "fullo" was a washer and cleaner of linen and woollen clothing with fuller's earth. As woollen dresses were chiefly worn by the Romans, they would, by reason of the perspiration produced by so hot a climate, require frequent purification. As the ancients, probably, were not acquainted with the use of ordinary washing soap, various alkalis were used in its place for the purpose of cleansing garments. It is not known whether the fuller's earth of the Romans resembled that used at the present day.

Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’

and ‘What profit is it that we have kept his charge,
and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Hosts?
Corrupting the Word is "selling learning at wholesale" or "adultery." Honest preachers will never be rich and famous and never treacherous enough to deliberately to come on secretly, to advance or approach stealthily, to steal upon, steal into
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33 example Christ named speakers, singers and instrument players. Almost always they performed for the burden or "a tax not in time of war." Christ in Isaiah 55 says that we should not be burdened by using our food money for the free water of the Word. Now, all theatrical and musical performers feel a bit inspired and they think that we should put the same value on them. However, religious performers especially sacrificial musicians were called parasites.
We are all tired from making a living and need a day of REST. There is no role for an institution to consume all of your rest time and all of your "spare" money for which there is "no law of tithing or giving."
Everyone is Tired from Sunday Worship as the hardest day of the week.

Psallo is never and can never mean both PLUCK and A STRING which at the ROOT is used to shoot a literal arrow or a Love Arrow. The Psao words were used when the Septuagint or LXX was translated because they understood that the praises or "halals" were WARRIOR'S chants and intended to THREATEN the enemy if that did not turn coward and run they would be SODOMIZED and then killed to prove SUPERIORITY.
THE LATIN WORD -Psalmus , i, m., = psalmos, i. q. psalma,
I. a psalm (eccl. Lat.; cf.: carmen, hymnus), Vulg. Isa. 38, 20.--Esp., the Psalms of David
Other than SPEAKING that which is written for our LEARNING (not pagan worship) these PSAO (root of SOP) words point directly to the Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) from Egypt, Mount Sinai and in a church near you. His Musical Worship Girls (Muses Rev 18) were the LOCUSTS, sorcerers and dirty adulteresses.

Carmen declaim, praise; cf.: camilla, censeo], a tune, song; poem, verse; an oracular response, a prophecy; a form of incantation

DO YOU WANT TO SAY THAT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST, JESUS AND ALL RECORDED HISTORIANS WERE JUST FLAT OUT LIARS? Why do you think people are DESTINED to TWIST the psallo words intending to SOW DISCORD and offend everyone (Jeff walling) when in Tom Burgess' list of PLUCKING words it always applies to older males plucking the harp trying to seduce the youth minsisters of the Mother Goddess?6. On account of the very ancient practice of composing forms of religion and law in Saturnian verse, also a formula in religion or law, a form:
ALL recorded history would use Pluck + a NAMED instrument which would not include a melody or rhythm.
OF: you MUST use compound words each instrument having a DEDICATED word. FOR INSTANCE:
-Psalmos , ho, twitching or twanging with the fingers, psalmoi toxôn E.Ion173 (lyr.); toxêrei psalmôi [toxeusas] Id.HF1064 (lyr.).
2. the sound of the cithara or harp, Pi.Fr.125, cf. Phryn.Trag.11; “psalmos d' alalazei” A.Fr.57.7 (anap.); there were contests in to psallein,
Eur. Ion 144 [170] Ah, ah! what is this new bird that approaches; you will not place under the cornice a straw-built nest for your children, will you? My singing bow will keep you off. Will you not obey? [175] Go away and bring up your offspring by the eddies of Alpheus, or go to the Isthmian grove, so that the offerings, and the temple of Phoebus, are not harmed. . . . and yet I am ashamed to kill you, [180] for to mortals you bear the messages of the gods; but I will be subject to Phoebus in my appointed tasks, and I will never cease my service to those who nourish me.
Psalmos also appears in the LXX as equivalent to the Hebrew word neginah [5058]. This Hebrew term is used to describe a wide variety of songs. Neginah is translated by psalmos in Lam 3:14 (song), in Lam 5:14 (music) and in Ps 69:12 (song). It is striking to observe that in the LXX translation of Lam 3:14 and Ps 69:12, psalmos, or its verbal form, is used for songs that are not only uninspired but are in fact the product of the wicked, even drunkards, who mocked God and His word. The Hebrew term neginah is used elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures of: the songs of the wicked, Job 30:9 (song); the inspired praise of God, Psalm 61 title (Neginah-a song performed on a stringed instrument); and the uninspired praisd of the Lord composed by King Hezekiah, Is 38:20 (my songs).

Galliambus, i, m. [3. Gallus, II. A.] , a song of the priests [a castratos] of Cybele
Commentary on Catullius, Poem 63 The self-mutilation and subsequent lament of Attis, a priest of Cybele. The centre of the worship of the Phrygian Kubelē or Kubēbē, was in very ancient times the town of Pessinus in Galatian Phrygia, at the foot of Mt. Dindymus, from which the goddess received the name Dindymene. Cybele had early become identified with the Cretan divinity Rhea, the Mother of the Gods, and to some extent with Demeter, the search of Cyhele for Attis being compared with that of Demeter for Persephone. The especial worship of Cybele was conducted by emasculated priests called Galli (or, as in vv. 12 and 34, with reference to their physical condition, Gallae). Their name was derived by the ancients from that of the river Gallus, a tributary of the Sangarius, by drinking from which men became inspired with frenzy (cf. Ov. Fast. 4.361ff.
The worship was orgiastic in the extreme, and was accompanied by the sound of such frenzy-producing instruments as the tympana, cymbala, tibiae, and cornu, and culminated in scourging, self-mutilation, syncope from excitement (fainting from losss of blood to the head). and even death from hemorrhage or heart-failure. The worship of the Magna Mater, or Mater Idaea, as she was often called (perhaps from identification with Rhea of the Cretan Mt. Ida rather than from the Trojan Mt. Ida), was introduced into Rome in 205 B.C. in accordance with a Sibylline oracle which foretold that only so couldâ foreign enemy (i.e. Hannibal) be driven from Italy. Livy 29.10, Livy 29.14)

- When the Spirit and Paul and Silly Sally knew that you need a COMPOUND word to define both PLAY and a named INSTRUMENT.
- Then you may be guilty of saying that the Holy Spirit of Christ and Paul were just too illiterate.

Jer 15:16 Thy words were found,
and I did eat them; and
thy word was unto me the joy
and rejoicing of mine heart:
for (because) I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
The Word was Christ's joy or gaudĭum was inward joy, joy, gladness, delight ratione (rational Logos) and dicitur (spoken)
This was OPPOSITE of laetĭtĭa , I. joy, esp. unrestrained joyfulness, gladness, pleasure, delight (cf.: gaudium, hilaritas), another outbreak of joy. Of speech, sweetness, grace: “laetitia et pulcritudo orationis, Bacchus,,” to be transported with joy,
IN the -membrum , Not in the members of the human body:
Jeremiah 4.4[4] Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
1Cor. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.But 4.

1 Pet. 2, 2: “sententia vera et rationabilis,”
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed (metamorph-oō ) by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable,
and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12.[5] so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
