THE “ETHICS” AND THE “METAPHYSICS” OF MUSIC

Music acts upon human beings, on their nervous systems and their vital processes: in 1849 Liszt wrote a song, “Die Macht der Musik” to a text by the Duchess Hele`ne d’Or le ́ans:MUSIC paying tribute to its own capacities.

This power— which poems and colors possess occasionally and indirectly— is in the case of MUSIC particularly immediate, drastic, and indiscreet: “it penetrates to the center of the soul,” Plato says, “and gains P0SSESSION of the soul in the most energetic fashion,” ...Music

Schopenhauer, on this point, echoes Plato.
        By means of massive irruptions,  [overtones]
        MUSIC takes up residence in our intimate self
        and seemingly elects to make its home there.
The man inhabited and possessed by this intruder,
        the man ROBBED of a self, is no longer himself:
        he has become nothing more than a vibrating string, a sounding pipe.
He trembles madly under the bow or the fingers of the instrumentalist;
        and just as APOLLON fills the Pythia’s lungs,
        so the organ’s powerful voice
        and the harp’s gentle accents take possession of the listener.

This process, at once IRRATIONAL and SHAMFUL, takes place on the margins of truth,
        and thus borders more on magic than on empirical science.

Something that wants to persuade us with singing,
         rather than convince us with reason,
         implements an art of pleasing that addresses the passions,
         that is, one that subjugates in suggesting and that enslaves the listener
         through the fraudulent and charlatan power of melody,
         weakens him through harmonic glamour or the fascinations of rhythm.

To accomplish this, the process does not tap the logistical or governing aspects of the mind
        but rather engages the mind
s entire psychosomatic element.

If mathematical discourse is thinking that wishes to make itself comprehensible
        to other thought by becoming transparent to it,
a harmonic modulation is an
act that expects to influence a being;
        and by
influenceone must also understand a clandestine causality,
        just as in astrology or sorcery: illegal maneuvers, black arts.

The magical induction becomes a seduction and thus trickery,
        and an ADULT refuses to be captivated,
        resisting the beliefs suggested to him by the auletic. [piper?]

A woman who persuades solely by means of her presence and its perfumes,
        that is, by the magical exhalations of her being,
        the night that envelops us, MUSIC, which secures our allegiance
        solely through the Charm engendered by a TRILL or an ARPEGGIO,
        will therefore be the object of a  deep suspicion.
Being BEWITCHED is not worthy of a rational person.
        Just as a MASCULINE
                Will insists that its decisions are made on concrete grounds

              
and will never admit a preference founded in emotion
               
so MASCULINE Reason will never admit itself prone to seduction.
What is science for if not to sustain us against the intoxications of night
        and the TEMPTATIONS exercised by the ENCHANTRESS appearance?

Shawn.Frazier.Musical.Praise.Minister.html

Music, the sonorous phantasm, is the most futile of mere appearances,
          and appearance, which with neither the force to probe
            nor any intelligible determinism 
           
is nonetheless  able to persuade the DAZZLED fool,
            is in some way the objecti
fication of our weakness.
A man who has sobered up, a demysti
fied man,
        does not forgive himself for having once been
        The dupe of misleading powers; a man who is abstaining,
         having awakened from his nocturnal exhilaration,
         BLUSHES [demons can't blush] for having given in to dark causality.

Once morning has returned,
         he disowns the pleasurable arts themselves,
        along with his own skills of pleasing.
Strong and serious minds, prosaic and positive minds:
       maybe their prejudice with regard to MUSIC comes from sobering up.
In the presence of the SCABROUS power un leashed by MUSIC,
       a number of attitudes are possible.
We can distinguish three: the right of use and enjoyment, passionate resentment, and refusal pure and simple.

The PATTERN after the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Play (instrumenta-sexual-homosexual) at Mount Sinai.

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
        hath in every city them that PREACH him,
        being READ in the synagogues [church] every sabbath day. [once each week]

This Holy Convocation was held on FIRST and EIGHTH days of festiovals..

h4744.Miqra.gif

The PATTERN COMMANDED by God:

Matt. 23:34 Wherefore, behold,
        I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and SCRIBES:
        and some of them ye shall kill and crucify;
        and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
        and persecute them from city to city:

Luke 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God,
        I will send them prophets and APOSTLES,
        and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

The PATTERN of Jesus:

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth,
        where he had been brought up:
           [educated: he was 30 years old before He was sactified and sent]
and, as his custom was, [singular pattern]
        he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
        and stood up for to READ.

The COMMAND of Jesus

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
        When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye know that I am he,
        and that I do nothing of myself;
        but as my Father hath taught me,
[The only meaning of SPIRIT as WORD John 6:620
        I speak these things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me: t
       he Father hath not left me alone;
       for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
       IF ye continue in my word,
       THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

[Word, Logos, God's Regulative Principle. Outlaws rhetoric, music, scenic hinderence]

The PATTERN of Paul in the synagogues

Acts 13:15 And after the READING of the law and the prophets
          the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,
         Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation [COMFORT] for the people, say on. 

The PATTERN commanded for the Church as A FREE School of Christ-Only]

Eph. 2:20 And are built upon
        the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS,
        Jesus Christ himself
                being the chief [HEAD teacher when elders teach that which has been taught]
                corner stone; [The Angle of the temple, outside the gate, silent and secret]

The PATTERN of Peter with warnings of those who "go beyond that which is written."

2Pet. 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now WRITE [as Scribe] unto you; i
        inn both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2Pet. 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the WORDS
        which were spoken before by the holy PROPHETS,
        and of the commandment of us the APOSTLES of the Lord and Saviour:
2Pet. 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the LAST DAYS SCOFFERS
        walking after their own lusts,

THE PATTERN OF JUSTIN MARTYR AND OTHERS ON WEEKLY WORSHIP.

Justin Martyr Chapter LXVII.-Weekly Worship of the Christians.

"And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost.
always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost.

JUSTIN: And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place,
  and the
memoirs of the APOSTLES or the writings of PROPHETS the  are READ, as long as time permits;
then, when the reader has ceased,
   the
president verbally instructs,
   and EXHORTS
to the imitation of these good things.

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.

Acts 13:15 And after the
        READING of the law and the prophets
the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying,
    Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of EXHORTATION
    for the people, say on
.
\AND IN THE CHURCH: GOD NEEDS NO HELPERS.

Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Educated in the Ekklesia]
   the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

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

SABBATH MEANS REST: QUARANTINED FROM JERUSALEM

`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



Exodus 32 They Sat Down to Eat and rose up to play: they repudiated The Book of The Covenant of Grace given by Christ to Abraham to ALL NATIONS.

Deuteronomy 32 They Rose Up To Play

Romans 1 certified that The Golden Calf was Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry

Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days,
        and offered sacrifice unto the idol,
        and rejoiced in the works of their own hands
Moloch.harp.drum.flute.gif


The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem
Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
        and gave them up to worship the HOST of heaven; 
        as it is written in the book of the prophets,
        O ye house of Israel,  have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
        by the space of forty years in the wilderness
INSTRUMENTAL OR METRICAL SOUNDS IS THE "WEAPON" USED TO INDUCE ALL MIND ALTERING: IT DEFINES SORCERY OR WITCHCRAFT. That is because even Clay Tablets through Modern medicine knows that music arouses because it induces endorphins or other chemical attacks.  Such sounds facilitate false teaching. Literature note that people who collect you for music intend to hurt you.

Anhedonia:   Is the inability to feel pleasure. Civilized Greek society understood not to expose of child-bearing age [Saved in Childbearing] to anxiety which comes, according to Paul, with teaching duties or anything. Anhedonia is very commpon with DEPRESSION or any mental problem. So-Called Worship Operations (Lying wonders) is a hotbed and cause of many problems.   Jesus called it a "laded burden" such as singing and Paul called it Self-Pleasure or anxiety created by all rhetorical, musical or scenic performances.  The Absolute COMMAND was to "use one Mind and one MOUTH to speak that which is written for our LEARNING"  or "Scripture for our Comfort."

Pi.N.7.81 Pindar, Nemean Odes 7
The rich man and the poor man alike travel together to the boundary of death.

  1. An institution with programed and staff to lead WORSHIP services is NOT Christian.
  2. Otter Creek and many reject the "Regulative Principle" for "worship" but God tolerates no "observations or operations which Paul called lying wonders.
  3. Anyone who thinks that there is a jot or tittle of the worship with God with singing or playing instruments is not Bible or Ethically Literate.
  4. God provides no FUNDING for any thing people perform with the works of men's hands."
  5. Men or Women who get paid to perform WORSHIP services are defined by the Greek PARASITES.
  6. No elder has a right to pay anyone for anything done in the name of Christ.
  7. A Preacher is defined as one SENT. 
  8. Paul denied that you can preach the FREE gospel by living off widows and honest workers.

SPIRIT HAS NEVER AND CAN NEVER IDENTIFY A GOD OR PERSON. God puts His WORD into the MOUTH of the man Jesus for the LAST TIME. Sorry Becky, Christians do not lie to God and about God in order to CONFISCATE other people's SCHOOL OF THE WORD-only

John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you:
        but he that sent me is true;
        and I SPEAK to the world those things
        which I have HEARD of him.
John 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
        When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye know that I am he,
        and that I do nothing of myself;
                but as my Father hath TAUGHT me,
               I
SPEAK these things.                   
[Jesus never sang because spirit without measure means WITHOUT MUSICAL METER]

John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
        the Father hath not left me alone;
         for I DO always those things that PLEASE him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in my WORD, THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

Paul defines that as a STRONG DELUSION or "claiming to replace God."

It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever commanded a DAY for worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever commanded any action by the hands of men as worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that Jesus died in vain unable to "supply all that applies to life and godliness."
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever authorized ANY FUNDING for any funded STAFF to ride on the backs of widows
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that God commanded SINGING with or without a Mechanical Device.
It is a STRONG DELUSION and a LIE that there is a Law of Tithing or a Law of Giving

It is the DEFINITION of a CULT to operate a center of SANCTITY with command authority, controlling the member's life several days during the week.

THE CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY IS A SCHOOL OF CHRIST AND SPIRITUAL OR RATIONAL WORSHIP IS READING AND UNDERSTAND A "LECTION" MADE BY "THE DIVINE."

IN TRUTH:      [Truth, Word or Logos as Regulative Principle]

MOST WARS DURING RECORDED HISTORY ARE OVER TURF BATTLES BETWEEN MEN INVENTING WORSHIP RITUALS FOR SALE.

You don't know and will probably never accept that NO THEOLOGIAN can grasp that God never permits a DAY OF WORSHIP.  Sabbath means REST and outlaws even sending out ministers of God. The Greek PAUO or REST condemnes anything you do CLAIMING superiority to God.

The word MISSIONAL is a fabricated LIE WORD for people who want more of your NEVER AUTHORIZED tithes and offerings.

Since the garden of Eden Cain-like men have profiteered out of claiming to INTERCEDED with the gods to get you a message.
The development both of religion and of the arts can be traced back in a continuous line to the hunting era. The group ritual of the primeval tribesmen were the origin not only of all religious ceremonial, but also of the drama and of poetry and music, while magic gave birth to the visual arts." (Parkes, Henry Bamford, On Gods and Men, p. 30).

"Awed by the mysteries of his own spirit no less than by those of nature, primitive man was likely to attribute to divine influence  any abnormal emotional state, whether above or below the usual level. Medicine men customarily went into states of trance in which they were believed to be in communication with the gods, and many tribes supposed lunatics and sexual deviants to be divinely possessed.

Beating on animal skins or twanging a harp string could easily be sole as a message from a god. It still works. Musical instruments were sold as "gods" or the houses of gods.

Fool also called JESTER, a comic entertainer whose madness or imbecility, real or pretended, made him a source of amusement and gave him license to abuse and poke fun at even the most exalted of his patrons. Professional fools flourished from the days of the Egyptian pharaohs until well into the 18th century, finding a place in societies as diverse as that of the Aztecs of Mexico and the courts of medieval Europe.

Often deformed, dwarfed, or crippled, fools may have been kept for luck as well as for amusement, in the belief that deformity can avert the evil eye and that abusive raillery can transfer ill luck from the abused to the abuser. Fool figures played a part in the religious rituals of India and pre-Christian Europe, and, in some societies, such as that of Ireland in the 7th century BC, they were regarded as being inspired with poetic and prophetic powers.

The raillery of the fool and his frequent ritual association with a mock king suggest that he may have originated as a sacrificial scapegoat substituted for a royal victim.

A resemblance between the sacrificial garments of ancient ritual and the costume of a household jester in the Middle Ages--coxcomb, eared hood, bells, and bauble, with a motley coat--has been noted.

In most early societies, moreover, men evolved techniques for deliberaly inducing the abnormal forms of consciousness in which they supposed themselves to achieve union with divine power, sometimes by the use of drugs and other physiological stimuli, sometimes by hypnotic dances and music. The wild utterances to which they gave vent on such occasions were regarded as the words of a god and were interpreted as divine commands or predictions of future events." (Parkes, p. 32-33).

"Like most primitive peoples, the Israelites had always believed in inspiration, interpreting any disturbance of normal consciousness and self-control as due to spiritual agencies. During their early history, as can be seen from stories in the books of Judges and Samuel, not only the rhapsodic utterances of priests and poets but also the babblings of maniacs were attributed to a divine spirit.

Prophecy gradually became professionalized, and the schools of prophets, who had developed techniques for the deliberate inducement of states of derangement

by means of music and dances and of alcohol and possibly other drugs,

earned money by helping peasants to find lost articles, performing miraculous cures, and advising kings about the will of Jehovah. This tradition seems to have been stronger in the northern kingdom,

where the orgiastic fertility cults were more deeply rooted; its rulers apparently mantained large bodies of hired ecstatics to encourage their subjects with suitably propitious oracles on the eve of a war or some other moral cricis.

"Among more sophisticated persons it was recognized that many of the prophets were merely lunatics and that their utterances were misleading; but the popular assumption of divine guidance was not readily abandoned." (Parkes, Henry Bamford, Gods and Men The Origins of Western Culture, p. 106, Knopf)

JESUS DEFINED HOLY SCRIPTURE AS THE WRITING PROPHETS AND OTHER PROPHECIES CONCERNING ME.  Even when you commercial grade worship center is based on the Jewish monarchy, there is still not a single example of people WORSHIPING by any of the performed ACTS. Spiritual worship involves SPEAK or READING that which is written for our learning

Litteral worship means to FALL ON YOUR FACE in reverence and Godly Fear. Worship IN the human spirit (place) demands that both male and female LEARN IN SILENCE. 

Institutions built on the foundation of human ambition are still the works of FANATICS.  However, most attendance is made up of people wanting to see the spectacle.  Spectators saw the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted worship at Mount Sinai as a LAUGHINGSTOCK.

An Assembly of Christ is defined inclusively and exclusively by the Prophets. The present spawn of Theologians deny that the prophets had the church in mind and slander Jesus for thinking that the Prophets were speaking about Him
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon the foundation
        of the apostles and prophets,
        Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

1Pet. 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
        to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1Pet. 1:10 Of which salvation the PROPHETS have enquired and searched diligently,
        who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ  [God's "breath" to the Prophets]
        which was in them did signify,
        when IT testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
ke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools,
        and slow of heart to believe all that the PROPHETS have spoken:
Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Luke 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
        he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things CONCERNING HIMSELF
Luke 24:44 And he said unto them,
        THESE are the WORDS which I spake unto you,
        while I was yet with you,
                that all things must be fulfilled,
                which were written in the law of Moses,
                and in the prophets, and in the psalms
,
                CONCERNING ME.
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
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
Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding,
        THAT they might understand THE SCRIPTURES

Luke 24:46 And said unto them,
      
  Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer,
        and to rise from the dead the third day:
1Pet. 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 sent down from heaven;
        which things the angels desire to look into.
Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
        And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
        and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: worship God:
        for the
TESTIMONY of Jesus IS the SPIRIT of PROPHECY

         . 

Otter Creek Church is NOT Christian but ANTICHRISTIAN.  The ancient and modern Pharisees said that Jesus "made" himself equal to God. Jesus called them BLASPHEMERS because He always spoke only what He heard from the Father. He defined those whoo SPEAK THEIR OWN WORDS as Sons of the Devil.
 


The Prototype of Babylon-Tyre Israel. Sodom not spiritual Israel. Jesus referenced Isaiah and Ezekiel to define the national Worship of the Starry Host--Abaddon The End-Time Fulfillment
For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. Ezek 26:7

They will plunder your wealth and
    loot your merchandise;
    they will break down your walls

Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Eze 33:30

Rev 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Rev 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Rev 17:5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Rev 17:6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.   2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird

Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee;

I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more:
    though thou be sought for,
    yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God. Ezek 26:2
When all of this this comes true--

and it surely will--

then they will know that a prophet has been among them." Eze 33:33

Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
   Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Aeschylus does in the verse where he says — And then the sophist sweetly struck the lyre.

Musae (Mousai). In Greek mythology the Muses were originally the nymphs of springs, whose waters gave inspiration, such as Hippocrené, Castalia, etc.; then goddesses of song in genera. They are all female and are considered goddesses dwelling in Olympus, who at the meals of the gods sing sweetly to the lyre of Apollo. They are the nine daughters of Zeus.

All religious craftsmen or teknokrat are called Parasites and Sorcerers. The Songs in the Holy Places MARK lusted after fruits are just SIGNS or MARKS That God will not PASS BY AGAIN.

PROOF ONE: Why OTTER CREEK AND ITS LEADERS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS AND CANNOT EVER BE SAVED.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
        then shall ye
know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself;
        but as my Father hath taught me,
        I SPEAK these things. [Speak or Read is to exclude the Gender-conflicted]
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
        the Father hath not left me alone;  [Jesus in STATE of Holy Spirit]
        for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:30 As he SPAKE these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in my WORD, THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

        and the truth [word logos] shall make you free.

The operators of Otter Creek do not qualify for the definition of Jesus.

The Word or Logos is not and cannot be a God: God's Word has the same meaning as HIS light or life.  LOGOS is god's regulative principle which heaps BURNING on all who are ANTI-LOGOS.

The Word or Logos is used to REPUDIATE Hermes who was the Pagan gender-conflicted god of merchants, thieves and liars.  He is KAIROS used as a pattern for new PLANTS.  He was the messenger or intercessor of all Cults which go beyong the Ekklesia or a School of Christ.

God's WORD or LOGOS  consists of inclusive and exclusive things connected with how God puts His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus for the last time without the help of A Holy Spirit person.  ALL so-called Progressives-back-to-Babylon write books and hold massive "workshops of evil" to DENOUNCE the Word which is GOD MADE AUDIBLE and Jesus called SPIRIT AND LIFE:

Rom. 10:17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and hearing by the WORD of God.

John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:

        The same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.


John 8:33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed,
        and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
John 8:34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
        Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
John 8:35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever:
        but the Son abideth ever.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free,
        ye shall be free indeed.
John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed;
        but ye seek to kill me, because my WORD hath no place in you.
John 8:38  I SPEAK that which I have seen with my Father:
         and ye DO that which ye have seen with your father.

Hdt. 1.23 Periander, who disclosed the oracle's answer to Thrasybulus, was the son of Cypselus, and sovereign of Corinth. The Corinthians say (and the Lesbians agree) that the most marvellous thing [Lying Wonders] that happened to him in his life was the landing on Taenarus of Arion of Methymna, brought there by a dolphin. This Arion was a lyre-player second to none in that age; he was the first man whom we know to compose and name the dithyramb1 which he afterwards taught at Corinth.

A deeper-reaching attempt to explain the significance of the castrato age has been made by Moses (1960) in an interesting paper on the psychology of the castrato voice. He interprets the emergence of this vocal fashion as the fulfillment of an age-old dream wish of bisexual hermaphroditism. Even if one does not follow Moses in some of his somewhat overdrawn conclusions, there is left enough of a solid basis for his theory. Hermaphroditic mythology plays an important part in cultural history. In collections of primitive art one sometimes see sculptures of idols each with female breasts and a penis

Voices mirror not only individual characters but the spirit of a period as well. In this sense the voice of the castrato personifies the bisexual ideal with its unity of a female voice in a man's body. In the mythological atmosphere of the baroque opera the castrato portrayed gods and mythological persons who presented male and female characteristics in a vocal hermaphroditic combination.

In an unfinished book that Paul Moses left at his death he predicted, over ten years ago, quite correctly the approach of another age of crossover of the sexes. The young generation of today favors fashions that obliterate the differences between the sexes. Girls wear pants, and young men sport girlish long hair and wear necklaces and bracelets. The classical love song of the nineteenth century, the love-centered operettas, and the popular songs of the "June-moon" variety of the first half of this century have given way to the harsh rhythms of rock and roll of the unisex generation. And the phoniatrist sees among his patients an increasing number of young adult males who do not use the deep masculine voice that the pubertal growth of the larynx offers but continue to speak in an artificial high pitch of almost female sound. Friedrich S. Brodnitz, M.D.

CONSISTENT WITH RESTORING HEBREW ROOTS

Delitzsch on Psalms: Moreover, we must take into consideration the facts that the compass of the tenor extends even into the soprano, that the singers were of different ages down to twenty years of age, and that Oriental, and more particularly even Jewish, song is fond of falsetto singing. We therefore adopt Perret- Gentil's rendering, chant avec voix de femmes, and still more readily Armand de Mestral's, en soprano; whereas Melissus' rendering, "upon musical instruments called Alamoth (the Germans would say, upon the virginal)," has nothing to commend it.

"Hebrew music... was used in the luxurious times of the later monarchy the effeminate gallants of israel, reeking with perfumes, and stretched upon their couches of ivory, were wont at their banquets to accompany the song with the tinkling of the psaltery or guitar (Am. v1. 4-6), and amused themselves with devising musical instruments while their nation was perishing... music was the legitimate expression of mirth and gladness, and the indication of peace and prosperity." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 590).

From the Golden Calf: The Canaanites were under Assyro-Babylonian dominance from 3000 to 1700 BCE. Even by circa 1400 BCE, their influence was still so great that all correspondence with Egypt and the Pharaoh was conducted in Babylonian, and the name of the moon-god Sin formed the basis for the Canaanite names Sinai and the wilderness of Sin (ERE, Vol. 3, p. 183). The hand of Sin was seen in the cause of Catatonia or madness in children - hence, lunacy is associated with this deity (ibid., p. 527). Sin moon-god of Harran was also worshipped at Sam'al at the foot of Mount Amanus (ibid., Vol. 2, p. 295). Sin was the Baal of Harran mentioned in the correspondence at the time of Sennacharib, Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal. Sargon (722-706 BCE) confirmed the exemption Harran enjoyed from taxes as the city of Sin (ibid.). Nabonidas last king of Babylon (555-539 BCE) rebuilt the temple of Sin at Harran. Sin became identified with Be'el-shamin the owner of the sky from the Syrian dominance at Harran combining the Syrian god with the ancient moon-god. This deity was identified with Zeus by the Greeks from Phoenicia and Palmyra and elsewhere enjoying their patronage and spread from Mesopotamia into Armenia. Ultimately, he became identified with Anu, Lord of Heaven of Babylon (ibid., Vol. 2, p. 295). [Zeus is the "father" of Kairos of the NEW musical and trinitarian sect]

From the earliest times (c. 4000 BCE), there were triads formed of Enlil, Anu and Enki. The second triad was formed from Ur, moon-god of Ur, Utu sun-god of Sippar, and Nana goddess of Erech (ibid., p. 296). The moon-god of Ur can be identified with Sin. The Semitic term Bel was used among the Babylonian Semites derived from Baal in the same sense as it was used by the other Semites and in addition used it as master or lord (ibid.).

The Israelites rose up in PLAY or musical idolatry at Mount Sinai: the trinity was Osiris, Isis and Hathor:

-Galli Harpers Galloi, in post-classical authors only). The eunuch priests of Cybelé or the Great Mother, whose worship, so far as it can be traced historically, had its original seat in Phrygia (Marmor Parium, ap. C. Müller, Fragm. i. 544, where it is placed under the reign of Erichthonius, king of Attica, B.C. 1506; Strabo, x. pp. 469, 472, xii. p. 567, where the names Kubelē, Dindumēnē, etc., are said to be derived from Phrygian localities; Kubelēn apo tou topou, Diod.iii. 58). The Phrygian language was Indo-European, as appears from the extant inscriptions (Rawlinson's Herod. vol. i. App. 666); and the worship of Cybelé has been thought to be also IndoEuropean; Avestan names have been traced in it —Berecyntus=Berezat; Corybantes=Gereuantô (Labatut in Rev. Numism. Belge, 1868, p. 286). Other names, however, are of distinctly Semitic affinities; Rhea perhaps=the Babylonian Ri (Mulita or Mylitta), and Nana more certainly=the Babylonian Nana, modern Syrian Nani.

Plutarch Marcus Antonius on EPHESUS

XXIV. But when he was once come into Asia, having left Lucius Censorinus governor in Greece, and that he had felt  the riches and pleasures of the east parts, and that princes, great lords, and kings, came to wait at his gate for his coming out: and that queens and princesses, to excel one another, gave him very rich presents, and came to see him, curiously setting forth themselves, and using all art that might be to shew their beauty, to win his favour the more (Caesar in the mean space turmoiling his wits and body in civil Wars at home,

Antonius living merrily and quietly abroad), he easily fell again to his old LICENTIOUS life.
        For straight, one Anaxenor, a player of the cithern  ,
        Xoutus, a player of the flute,
        Metrodorus a tumbler, and such
        a rabble of minstrels and fit ministers for the pleasures of Asia
                (
who in fineness and flattery passed all the other PLAGUES he brought with him out of Italy),
                all these flocked in his court, and bare the whole sway: and after that all went awry.

For every one gave themselves to riot and excess, when they saw he delighted in it: and all Asia was like to the city Sophocles speaketh of in one of his tragedies:

Was full of sweet perfumes and pleasant songs,
With woeful weeping mingled there-amongs.
For in the city of EPHESUS, women, attired as they go in the feasts and sacrifice of Bacchus, came out to meet him with such solemnities and ceremonies as are then used:
        with men and children disguised like fauns and satyrs.
        Moreover, the city was full of ivy, and darts wreathed about with ivy,
        psalterions   flutes, and howboyes;
The melodious noyse of trumpets and howboyes;
The musicall instruments of schalmes, howboyes and sicklyk;
and in their songs they called him Bacchus, father of mirth,
        courteous and gentle: and so was he unto some,
        but to the most part of men cruel and extreme.

For he robbed noblemen and gentlemen of their goods,
        to give it unto vile flatterers: who oftentimes begged living men's goods, as though they had been dead,
        and would enter their houses by force.
        As he gave a citizen's house of Magnesia unto a cook, because (as it is reported) he dressed him a fine supper.
        In the end he doubled the taxation, and imposed a second upon Asia.


Golden Calves–Then and Now

JOHN MARK HICKS: This is a guest post by Becky Frazier who is the Missional Discipleship Minister for the Otter Creek Church of Christ in Brentwood, Tennessee. She delivered this message over ZOOM for the All Saints Church of Christ in Nashville, Tennessee on October 10, 2020

"Missional" is a fool-you word because it has little to do with missionary.  Paul in Romans 10 says that a PREACHER MUST BE SENT.  Missional hallucinates that there are prophets and apostles in their sect who hear the true Word of God.


Philodemus considered it paradoxical that music should be regarded as veneration of the gods while
musicians were paid for performing this so-called veneration.

Again, Philodemus held as self deceptive the view that music mediated religious ecstasy. He saw the entire condition induced by the noise of cymbals and tambourines as a disturbance of the spirit.

He found it significant that, on the whole,
only women and effeminant men fell into this folly.
Accordingly, nothing of value could be attributed to music;
it was no more than a
slave of the sensation of pleasure,
which satisfied much in the same way that food and drink did.

I will post the LECTIONS referenced but not used:

Lectionary Texts: Exodus 32:1-14, Psalm 106:1-6, 19-23, Philippians 4:1-9, Matthew 22:1-14

Becky Frazier:
Ex. 32:1  And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

THE WORLD WAS FILLED WITH LORDS AND GODS:  THE SINGULAR ALMIGHTY DEFINED HIMSELF TO EXCLUDE APOLLO OR APOLLYON THE IMPORTANT GOD OF THE JEWS BROUGHT FROM EGYPT.

  APOLLON AND THE "GRACES"
Apollo.3.Muses.as.Charities.jpg


Becky will say that they were really worshiping the LORD (yhwh) the only GOD (Elohim). However, Verse 1 proves that they were were not aware because they refused to listen.

Ex. 4:5 That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
Ex. 6:3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

In Greek myth, Apollo was the son of Zeus, a sky-god and the Twin of Artemis, goddess of the hunt and of the moon. Just like Artemis, he carried a bow and arrow which he used to cause destruction. As the goddess Athena watched over Apollon at the battle of Troy, she titled Apollon as the Striker From Afar.2

This is similar to the Biblical John’s writing that tells how Apollyon is from a bottomless pit of destruction. Apollo was known as the twin of Artemis and he had also been referred to as the Striker from Afar (as found in the Hymn to Apollon).

When the worship of Apollo was Romanized, adopted by the roman people, he took on an additional title of Apollon Luciferos. Many other Roman gods also took this surname to denote their powers of being a light-bringer. The root of this name belonged to the Greek Phosphorus and eventually the Roman Lucifer.3

The public worship of Apollo in the Mediterranean was in direct competition with the development of Christianity, allegedly during the time that John wrote revelations. The use of the name Apollyon within the bible, as the ‘Angel of the Pit’ was a direct association with this Greek god Apollo as a Satan, an adversary to Christianity4

The LOCUSTS or MUSES were/are Apollyon's Musical Worship Team. They are well documented as harlots.

Jesus had John call the SORCERERESS using the name of the ORIGINAL BABYLONIAN HARLOT.  In Revelation 18 they are "Lusted After Fruits" and all of the crafts persons are sorcerers and WILL BE OR ARE BEING CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE

THEN AND NOW FEMALE OR THE EFFEMINATE ARE DEFACTO SHEPHERDESSES replacing the ELDERS too unmanly top obey Scripture.

Ex. 32:2 And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Ex. 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Ex. 32:4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said,
        These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Ex. 32:5 And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it;
         and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.

Plutarch
Plut. De Iside   and Osiris

On the second of these days Arueris was born whom they call Apollo, and some call him also the elder Horus. On the third day Typhon was born, but not in due season or manner, but with a blow he broke through his mother s side and leapt forth.

There is also a tradition that Osiris and Arueris were sprung from the Sun, Isis from Hermes,7 and Typhon and Nephthys from Cronus. For this reason the kings considered the third of the intercalated days as inauspicious, and transacted no business on that day, nor did they give any attention to their bodies until nightfall. They relate, moreover, that Nephthys became the wife of Typhon8; but Isis and Osiris were enamoured of each other9 and consorted together in [p. 35] the darkness of the womb before their birth. Some say that Arueris came from this union and was called the elder Horus by the Egyptians, but Apollo by the Greeks.
PAGAN TRINITY IS ALWAYS FATHER, MOTHER (SPIRIT) AND EVIL SON.

Apis the golden calf or calves represented Osiris, Isis and Horus: the pagan trinity of father, mother and son.

Horus was the posthumous son and heir of the god Osiris, the primordial king and giver of life. He was invited by his uncle, Seth, to spend a day. Seth’s real motive was not to show him hospitality but to disqualify him from inheriting his father’s royal power. To this end, while Horus slept Seth committed an act of sodomy upon him. Since sodomy was inflicted as a punishment on a defeated enemy and was a symbol of domination, Seth could then claim that he had conquered Horus and demand the kingship in his place.

Historically, the rape of males was more widely recognized in ancient times. Several of the legends in Greek mythology involved abductions and sexual assaults of males by other males or gods. The rape of a defeated male enemy was considered the special right of the victorious soldier in some societies and was a signal of the totality of the defeat. There was a widespread belief that a male who was sexually penetrated, even if it was by forced sexual assault, thus "lost his manhood," and could no longer be a warrior or ruler. Gang rape of a male was considered an ultimate form of punishment and, as such, was known to the Romans as punishment for adultery and the Persians and Iranians as punishment for violation of the sanctity of the harem (Donaldson, 1990). Donaldson, Donald. (1990). "Rape of Males," in Dynes, Wayne, ed. Encyclopedia of Homosexuality. New York: Garland Publications.

Ex. 32:8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them:
         they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it,
        and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Ex. 32:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Ex. 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Ex. 32:11 And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Ex. 32:12 Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
Ex. 32:13 Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
Ex. 32:14 And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

PASSAGES NEVER USED BY "PROGRESSIVES" TAKING YOUR CHURCH:

Ex. 32:15  And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Ex. 32:16 And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Ex. 32:17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.

Ex. 32:18 And he said, It is not the voice of them
    ACCEPTABLE that shout for mastery,
   
ACCEPTABLE neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome:
    NOT
ACCEPTABLE: but the noise of them that SING do I hear.

Exod 32:18 And he said,
1.        It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery,
2.        neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome;
           but the noise of them that sing do I hear.

Notice again that this is identical to the secular literature connected to Egyptian idolatry:
The Egyptian Opis (Apis) and others which Israel worshipped at Mount Sinal were worshipped throughout the area. "In preference to all other hymns these choirs generally sang the so-called epiphany hymns,which were intended to invite the gods to appear. Plutarch wrote:
Why do the women of Elis call upon God in song to approach them with the bull's foot? Their song is the following:
Come, Dionysus, Hero,
into the holy temple of Elis,
together with the Graces
come violently into the temple with the bull's foot!
Then they sang twice at the end: "Sacred Bull!" (Johannes Quasten, Music & Worship in Pagan and Christian Antiquity, p. 76)
"For nonliterate peoples, music often serves purposes other than entertainment or aesthetic enjoyment. Certain wind instrumentare closely associated with the supernatural, and their sounds connote powerful magic. Australian Aborigines, for instance, identify the sound of a bull-roarer with the voices of supernatural beings; for the Plains Indians, the same sound signifies an awesome natural phenomenon, such as thunder. Wind instruments are often among a group's most important ritual objects, and in some cultures they are specially venerated. The Kamairua Indians of the Amazon rain forest keep their giant flutes (three to four feet long), wherein spirits are believed to dwell, in a special shrine where they are worshiped. The flutes and drums of New Guinea are similarly housed and worshiped.

"Wind instruments in primitive cultures also serve nonreligious functions. In New Guinea, bamboo trumpets were once played
1.  to frighten an enemyduring battle and
2.  to
alert a village that the victorious warriors were coming home with the corpses of the foes.
"Conch-shell trumpets are used for signaling in the Pacific coastal regions of Columbia and in the Ecuadoran highlands. Trumpets also may be associated with the office of king or chief, as in West Africa, where their use is strictly controlled by tribal law. "wind instrument" Encyclopædia Britannica Online.

Psa. 106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
Psa. 106:13 They soon forgat his works;

Matt. 22:3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matt. 22:4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matt. 22:5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matt. 22:6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matt. 22:7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matt. 22:8 Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matt. 22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matt. 22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matt. 22:11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matt. 22:12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matt. 22:13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Isaiah 29,  Ezekiel 33

I’d like to focus on our Exodus text today, and not just because I am a coward who doesn’t want to come anywhere near today’s Gospel text! I do think this story of the Golden Calf has something to teach us in this particular moment that we find ourselves in today. 

The text begins: “When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered around Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make gods for us, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” Did you catch that? When Moses delayed. They were waiting and in their waiting they became restless and unsure and anxious. So they took matters into their own hands. 

So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. 4 And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden[a] calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord.” 6 And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.

THIS FOLLOWING STATEMENT IS FALSE: THEIR ONLY KNOWLEDGE SO FAR WAS THE GODS OF EGYPT WHICH THEY BROUGHT WITH THEM INCLUDING APOLLYON.

It’s important to note that the people were not abandoning YHWH altogether.
        The text is clear that their feast is to YHWH, not just to the gods. In their waiting and anxiousness about what comes next,
        they created either something to worship alongside YHWH (to cover all their bases)
        or were creating an image of God that they could see and control and manipulate
        and make sure they didn’t lose sight of.

THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS AMOS REFUTE THAT.

ELAINE HEATH CHAPTER 10 TONGUES OF FIRE. 
http://www.pineycom.com/Elaine.Heath.ACU.Summit.2012.html


Moloch was represented under the figure of a man with the head of a calf É erected upon an immense oven, which [see Note 1 below] [page 54] was lighted to consume at once the seven kinds of offerings. During this holocaust, the priests of Moloch kept up a terrible music
, with sistrums and tambours, in order to stifle the cries of the victims. Then took place that infamy cursed by the God of Israel: the Molochites abandoned themselves to practices worthy of the land of Onan (masturbation] and, inspired by the rhythmic sound of the musical instruments, writhed about the incandescent statue, which appeared red thru the smoke; and they gave forth frenzied cries as, in accordance with the Biblical expression, they gave their seed to Moloch." ("History of Prostitution," by Paul LaCroix, French author and historian; 1806-84) Note 1: At the time referred to by Flaubert, Carthage was under siege from unpaid Barbarians enlisted by Carthage in its war with Rome, as mercenaries, and they were out of funds, water. etc. at the time.

For the sons of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight,' declares the LORD, "they have set their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, and it did not come into My mind [The law of SILENCE?]. Therefore, behold, days are coming,' declares the LORD, "when it will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of the Slaughter; for they will bury in Topheth because there is no other place." (Jer 7: 30-32)

Moloch has often been identified with Milcom, the god of the Ammonites. He was probably also identified with Baal, and as a sun or fire god, as he was also identified with the Assyrian/Babylonian "Malik", and at Palmyra "Malach-bel". Moloch is also identified with Baal Hammon in Carthaginian religion



The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem

Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
        and gave them up to worship the HOST of heaven; 
        as it is written in the book of the prophets,
        O ye house of Israel,  have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
        by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

See, the thing is, their jewelry and gold earrings were not bad. Not in their proper context, but when removed from that context and twisted into something that they worshiped in place of God, they are toxic. But that’s what’s so insidious about the golden calves, right? They don’t seem like idols to us. They seem like the God who rescued us, or fixed the situation, or made this or that happen. We don’t think we are worshiping an idol, we think we are worshiping God. When in fact, it is simply a god of our own making, crafted and carved out of our fears and our pride and our need to control things. 

I wonder if that’s not what was going on in the Philippians text. It seems that two INFLUENTAL CHURCH LEADERS


Phil. 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown,
        so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
Phil. 4:2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Phil. 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow,
        help those women which laboured with me in the gospel,
with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.


g4866.  sunathleo, soon-ath-leh´-o; from 4862 and 118; to WRESTLE in company with, i.e. (figuratively) to seek jointly: — labour with, strive [struggle] together for.

g4904. sunergos, soon-er-gos´; from a presumed compound of 4862 and the base of 2041; a co-laborer, i.e. coadjutor: — companion in labour, (fellow-)helper(-labourer, -worker), labourer together with, workfellow.

2041.  ergon, er´-gon; from a primary (but obsolete) ἔργω ergo (to work); toil (as an effort or occupation); by implication, an act: — deed, doing, labour, work.


Euodia and Syntyche were arguing about something and Paul writes urging them to put the gospel before their disagreements. My guess is that their argument was important, that it mattered to them and that it had implications for how they lived and WORSHIPPED and shared life together. And their side of the argument, their need to be right, became an idol to them, something that became more important than the Good News of the Risen Christ.

They are not STAFF of a Congregation. If they WORSHIPPED it would consist most often of FALLING ON THEIR FACE in reverence and Godly fear.  When the people assembled out in the dangerous mission field their only Spiritual Worship would be to Read and understand the Word which had been delivered to them.

singing and making melody in your HEARTS to the Lord; Eph 5:19

is the same as with melody in our hearts: neither are "music" but the nature of speech.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Phil 4:9 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col. 3:17 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Eph 5:20

Those who are PRESUMPTIOUS and USURPING the role of God and the congregation NEVER make divisive changes without deliberatley lying about ALL of the text. That is because THEY do not believe that the text is inspired. That is why Paul warned that fools love to be fooled.

NOT EVEN JESUS SPOKE HIS OWN WORDS. GOD PUT HIS WORD INTO THE MOUTH OF JESUS FOR THE LAST TIME.  THE WRITERS LEFT US A MEMORY OF THEIR EYE-- AND EAR--WITNESS OF JESUS FULFILLING THE PROPHETS. THEN, NO ONE CAN PRIVATE INTERPRET OR FURTHER EXPOUND WITHOUT BLASHEMING THE SPIRIT OF GOD WHO COMPLETED HIS MESSAGE. THE FOLLOWING MORALIZING IS OUTLAWED BY GOD'S WORD, LOGOS OR REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE.

It’s hard not to think of the North American church when I read these words, especially in the context of our Exodus passage. I hear folks on both sides of the aisle claiming that one cannot be a Christian if one votes a certain way. How can you vote for so and so, don’t you know that he supports—- fill in the blank. To be blunt, many of us have turned American politics into a golden calf- claiming that this is what has freed us and what has giving us life and life abundantly.  Friends, [pause] the gospel has never and will never be dependent on your candidate being in office. The church around the world has always found a way to participate with God in setting the captive free, in loving their enemies, in caring for the oppressed, in siding with the marginalized and in proclaiming thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Regardless of which Caesar was on the throne, regardless of which president was in the oval office, and regardless of which superpower was dominating the world. And one thing our Gospel for today text is  clear on, is that we aren’t the ones who get to decide who is on the guest list. It’s not our party and if we are showing up to it thinking that this celebration is about us or showing without having been changed into something new then we are at the wrong party. 

Please don’t hear me say that we shouldn’t vote or that we shouldn’t take action . We should – absolutely. We should work to make this world better for all those made in  the image of God, and that includes caring about how our systems treat others. We should vote. We should protest.  We should call the leaders of our country to be kind and decent. We should work to implement policies that end oppression. This is right and good. But when our side becomes the good side and the other the bad side. When our arguments and our surety that we are right comes before how we treat a sister and fellow laborer of the Gospel we have turned our earrings into a calf. We have made our politics our idol and looked at it and said, look, here is the image of God that has saved us. 

Many scholars think that the reason God was so adamant that God’s people not attempt to make graven images of God to worship is that God had already placed God’s image in the world. When we start worshipping idols of our own creation we forget that God’s image is in the eyes of the person right in front of you. When your idol is your political party or candidate of choice, you forget that God’s image is stamped on the hearts of those who vote differently, too. When your idol is the certainty that your way is right and everyone else is wrong, it gets harder to see the glimmer of divine dust in the ones you call “other.” When your idol is serenity, and safety, and comfort, then it justifies oppressing the image of God in the ones who have less so that you can have more. 

There is a group called Preemptive Love Coalition whose main goal is to unmake war. They know that what starts war is seeing another group as totally one dimensional. Your own group is all good and the other group is all bad. Thus this bad group is worthy of destruction and death. They also know that the way to unmake war is to love first. To love when it’s hard. To love those we disagree with. To seek to understand instead of seeking to argue. To listen to really hear instead of listening to formulate a rebuttal. And I think the only way that we can do this is to lay aside our golden calves and turn to the God who created us through love and for love.  

So friends, as we wait today. As we wonder where God might be in all of the pain and confusion and mess of right now, don’t settle for a golden calf when you can have the God of the Universe. Don’t cling so hard to your ideas and your need to be right that you lose sight of the Gospel. The gospel which proclaims freedom for the captive and sight to the blind and comfort to the brokenhearted and life eternal is a lot bigger than our little idols. The kingdom of God will far outlast the kingdoms of this world. 

So finally, brother and sisters, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil 4:4-7) Amen.

Acts 17:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
Acts 17:49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool:
         what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Acts 17:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

2 Apollodorus identifies the Argive Apis with the Egyptian bull Apis, who was in turn identified with Serapis (Sarapis). As to the Egyptian Apis, see Hdt. 2.153 (with Wiedemann's note), iii.27, 28. As to Apia as a name for Peloponnese or Argos, see Aesch. Supp. 260ff.; Paus. 2.5.7; Scholiast on Hom. Il. i.22; Tzetzes, Scholiast on Lycophron 177; Stephanus Byzantius, s.v. Apia.

Hdt. 2.153  Psammetichus having made himself master of all Egypt, he made the southern outer court of Hephaestus' temple at Memphis, and built facing this a court for Apis, where Apis is kept and fed whenever he appears; this court has an inner colonnade all around it and many cut figures; the roof is held up by great statues twenty feet high for pillars. Apis in Greek is Epaphus

Hdt. 2.59 The Egyptians hold solemn assemblies not once a year, but often. The principal one of these and the most enthusiastically celebrated is that in honor of Artemis at the town of Bubastis1 , and the next is that in honor of Isis at Busiris. [2] This town is in the middle of the Egyptian Delta, and there is in it a very great temple of Isis, who is Demeter in the Greek language. [3] The third greatest festival is at Saïs in honor of Athena; the fourth is the festival of the sun at Heliopolis, the fifth of Leto at Buto, and the sixth of Ares at Papremis.

And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No. Ezek 30:15

And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph (Memphis) shall have distresses daily. Ezek 30:16

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Ezek 33:30

And they come unto thee as the people cometh,

but their heart goeth after their covetousness. Ezek 33: 31
