1.Timothy.4.13.Public.Reading.of.Scriptures

1 Timothy 4:13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching

Eph. 2:17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Eph. 2:18 For through HIM [Jesus] we both have access
        by ONE Spirit unto the Father.

As promised, Jesus returned at Pentecost in His Holy Spirit state minus flesh and bones and POURED OUT what they saw and Heard. When Spirit is poured out the result is WORDS.

Both male and female are to be silent beyond the reader as EXAMPLED by Jesus.
That is to make everyone SAFE
And come to a knowledge of The Truth or Logos: the Regulative Principle
Jesus is the ONLY mediator in song or sermon when APT elders teach that which has been taught.
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a RANSOM for all, to be TESTIFIED in due time.

WHY WOULD RELIGIONIST BE SO PURPOSE DRIVEN AS TO SILENCE THE WORD OF GOD DELIVERED AS THE INCLUSIVE-EXCLUSIVE PATTERN OF CHRIST.  Paul said that the speakers, singers or instrument players are LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
Eph. 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
        but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;


The "house" of God is the LAOS which EXCLUDES Priests or Levites since theree can be no clergy role in a famil.

Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Educated by]
        the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
        Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
        groweth unto an holy temple IN THE LORD [Still in charge as Holy Spirit]

Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together
        for an habitation of God THROUGH the Spirit. [The Church is the BODY of Christ and He is the HEAD]

Worship is in the PLACE of the human spirit and excludes the PLACE of FLESH.
Any Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levite would be executed if he went into the "holy places" with his harp.


Command: SPEAK Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs. SPEAK excludes the sing word ODE and PSALLO which implicates the universal SEXUALITY as WORSHIP.


1Tim. 4:11 These things command and teach.
1Tim. 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou
        an EXAMPLE of the believers,
        in WORD, [Logos as Regulative Principle Opposite of rhetoric, singing, playing instruments]
         in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1Tim. 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to [public] reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1Tim. 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee,
        which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
1Tim. 4:15 MEDITATE upon these things;
        give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
1Tim. 4:16 Take heed unto thyself,
        and unto the DOCTRINE; continue in them:
        for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that HEAR thee.

PREACHING THE WORD BY READING THE WORD IS THE ONLY PURPOSE DRIVING AN ASSEMBLY OF CHRIST:

Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down;
        and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
Acts 15:17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord,
        and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. [AION Messianic Period]
Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
        which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them,
        that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication,
        and from things strangled, and from blood.


Men like Timothy and Gentiles were Wise Unto Salvation because Scriptures were READ unad understand as the singular PATTERN on the REST day.

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
        hath in every CITY
        them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.

The RULERS were NOT wise unto salvation then and now because:

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers,
        because they knew him not,
        nor yet the voices of the PROPHETS
        which are READ every sabbath day,   [The direct command and all examples the Ekklesia-Synagogue met just once each week]
        they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
1Tim. 4:6  If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things,
        thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ,
        nourished up in the WORDS OF FAITH and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

1Tim. 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives’ FABLES, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

2.Timothy.4.2.Giving.Heed.Jewish.Fables.html
But refuse profane and old wives fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 1Ti.4:7
        Not giving heed to Jewish fables
        and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Tit.1:14

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 2Pe.1:16

Paul: An Outline of His Theology

Thus he commands that his own epistles be read aloud in the assembly of the Church [1 Thesss 5:27; Col 4:16). the word that is employed

In Ancient Greek Theatre, there is an interesting similarity among the plays written during that time: there is always a chorus included. Nowadays most people would associate a chorus with musicals, but playwrights like Aeschylus, Euripides, and Sophocles included a chorus in their regular plays. The chorus consisted of a group of 12 to 50 players who spoke or sang their lines in unison, wore masks, and functioned as one actor rather than a large group of many performers.

Because Greek theatres were so large, the members of the chorus had to work hard to look and sound like one person. Their diction and lines had to be presented crisply and clearly so the entire audience could easily hear them. Their gestures were overly exaggerated. Frequently a chorus leader, called a coryphaeus, would aid with comprehension.

        while he loves and cherishes what he judges to be evil and unjust.
That want of accord, on the part of the feelings of pain and pleasure, with the rational judgment is,
        I maintain, the extreme form of ignorance, a
        and also the “greatest” because it belongs to the main mass of the soul,

Plat. Laws 691a Athenian
Is it not plain that what those kings strove for first was to get the better of the established laws,
        and that they were not in accord with one another about the pledge
        which they had approved both by word and by oath;
        and this discord—reputed to be wisdom, but really, as we affirm, the height of ignorance,
        owing to its grating dissonance and lack of harmony, brought the whole Greek world to ruin?


Dan. 3:5 That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut,

If you are going to repudiate the Bible and 2,000 years of scholarship you had better be prepared with some proof. If you are willing to DELIBERATELY SOW DISCORD AMONG BRETHEREN AND OFFEND MANY then you had better be able to flash credentials from someone beyond a "christian" college:

Jesus Christ commanded that everyone teach and observe what He commanded.  The prophets had defined the church both inclusively and exclusively.  Jesus made those prophecies more certain proven by signs and wonders.  Peter warned against private interpretation or further expounding which would despise God's Spirit.

THE ONE-PIECE PATTERN FROM THE WILDERNESS ONWARD.

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
        because they knew him not,
        nor yet the voices of the PROPHETS
        which are READ every sabbath day,
        they have fulfilled them in condemning him

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that PREACH him,
        being read in the synagogues every sabbath day

If you SPEAK the same things you cannot SING IN DIVERSITY

Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation
        grant you to be LIKEMINDED one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

John 8:38  I [SPEAK] that which I have seen with my Father:
        and ye DO
        that which ye have seen with your father.

        He was a murderer from the beginning,
        and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
        When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

No Spirit Person involved. Spirit is a parable word to show that WE do our own BREATHING (spirit) and articulate our own words.

John 12:49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,
        HE gave me a commandment, what I should SAY, and what I should SPEAK.

God didn't delivery any LYRIC material to be performed with a LYRE.

God the Father puts His Word into the Mouth of Prophets and Jesus only.  
1Cor. 2:6 Howbeit we SPEAK wisdom among them that are perfect:
        yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
        which God ordained before the world [g165 Messianic age] unto our glory:
1Cor. 2:8 Which none of the princes of this world knew:
        for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

EUSEBIUS

"Of old at the time those of the circumcision were worshipping with symbols and types it was not inappropriate to send up hymns to God with the psalterion and cithara and to do this on Sabbath days... We render our hymn with a living psalterion and a living cithara with spiritual songs. The unison voices of Christians would be more acceptable to God than any musical instrument. 

Accordingly in all the churches of God, united in soul and attitude, with one mind and in agreement of faith and piety we send up a unison melody in the words of the Psalms." (commentary on Psalms 91:2-3)

Hilary (A.D.. 355) says:

"In the songs of Zion, both old and young, men and women, bore a part; their psalmody was the joint act of the whole assembly in unison." Chrysostom says: "It was the ancient custom, as it is still the custom with us, for all to come together and unitedly join in singing. The young and old, rich and poor, male and female bond and free all join in the song." Jerome says: "Go where you will, the plowman at his plow sings his joyful hallelujahs, the busy mower regales himself with his psalms, and the vinedresser is singing one of the psalms of David."

Our Identity

Let’s begin with why this discussion is so difficult to have.
        It is difficult because singing Acapella is a major part of our identity as a Church of Christ.
        It has become a marker of what a Church of Christ is.
        Acapella [ah kuh-pel-uh] simply means without instrumental accompaniment,
        and the secondary meaning is in the style of church or chapel music.


A CAPPELLA MEANS HOLDING MASS IN THE SISTINE CHAPEL: The Castratoes replace the Falsetto choir and originally the whole group sing in unison or the same, single note melody.   MELODY or the Greek MELOS does not permit harmony or meter.  We know that this is not SCRIPTURAL because we know when the practices were change

This
harmonizing technique, called organum, is the first true example of harmony. The first instances were extremely simple, consisting of adding a voice that exactly paralleled the original melody at the interval of a fourth or fifth (parallel organum).

FOR THOSE WHO PLAN TO SOW DISCORD BY CLAIMING THAT THEIR NOISY PERFORMANCE WHICH HURTS THE EARS AND CREATES SPIRITUAL ANXIETY (THE LADED BURDEN) WAS COMMANDED FOR THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCHES!!

Notre-Dame school,  during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, an important group of composers and singers working under the patronage of the great Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. The Notre-Dame school is important to the history of music because it produced the earliest repertory of polyphonic (multipart) music to gain international prestige and circulation.
  Its four major forms are organum (q.v.), a setting (for two to four voice parts) of a chant melody in which the chant is sung in sustained notes beneath the florid counterpart of the upper voice(s); clausula (q.v.), actually a section within an organum composition corresponding to a melismatic (many notes per syllable) section of the chant and characterized by a decisive acceleration of pace in the voice having the chant; conductus (q.v.), a processional composition in chordal style and not derived from any preexistent chant; and motet (q.v.), similar to the clausula, from which it evidently evolved, but with the addition of new texts, often secular, in the upper parts

WE don't have the authority to DISCUSS how WE conduct WORSHIP when A Church of Christ is a SCHOOL of Christ using His Words in the Prophets and Apostles. Jesus died to defund worship OBSERVATIONS to which the Kingdom will never com as well as WORSHIP LEADERS meaning the Jacob-cursed and god-abandoned Levites who stood in RANKS to execute any NOT-ABANDONED person who came near the HOLOCAUST of goats or Infants.

No one used instruments in the Sistime chapel CAPEL where the Pope's only official mass takes place.  Thee catholics never engaged in CONGREGATIONAL SINGING with or without INSTRUMENTS until about 1911.  The simple pipe organ set the pitch for the PRECENTER and was used to signal processions, intermissions or recessionals.

The pope imported a CASTRATED OPRA TEAM from France to replace the FALSETTO boy's choir.  A cappella means of the SISTINE CHAPEL named after a Generals GOAT SKIN CAPE.

The "boys" sing in the style of ORGANUM.. The whole team sang in unison singing the SAME NOTE and later added a second note.  No congregation violated the command to SPEAK the biblical text until after allows some PSALMS be recomposed and set to a simple meter to be SUNG IN UNISON.
