Hieros Gamos in Apostate Churches of Christ:
Hieros gamos or Hierogamy is a sacred marriage that plays out between a god and a goddess, especially when enacted in a symbolic way. This shows up with men and women singing and drumming claiming to be. This can also be the "worship drama" between men. God neutered them by defining WORSHIP as FALLING ON YOUR FACE in Reverence and Godly Fear. He also removed the PAY required for AUDIENCE to watch the so-effeminate that people flee from that congregation.
In this view, the Mesopotamian vision of the marriage between heaven (God) and earth (the salt-water ocean) was inherited by the early Hebrews, who participated in hieros gamos rituals until at least the time of the Babylonian exile. The story of Eve and the Serpent, according to this theory, is an inverted version of earlier mythologies in which the serpent diety was originally the natural consort of the Mother Goddess. In the biblical version, however, both Eve and the serpent are cursed by the sovereign male deity, Yahweh. This reversal of roles is thought to be the result of the patriarchal system of Israel imposing itself on the older mythology of Canaan and Egypt. Campbell points out that the serpent plays a positive role in the old legends of Moses, who carries a powerful rod which has the power to turn itself into a serpent (Ex. 4) and is commanded by God to create and uplift a brozne serpent icon which heals the Israelites (Num. 21).

Bobby Valentine says that the Song of Solomon iis the HOLY OF HOLIES:
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth.
Your love is more delightful than wine;
delicate is the fragrance of your perfume …”
(Song of Songs 1.2, Jerusalem Bible)“For in all the world there is nothing equal to the day on which the Song of Songs was given to Israel, for all the writings [i.e. Scriptures] are Holy, but the Song of Songs is the Holy of Holies.” (Rabbi Akiba, Mishnah, Yadaim 3.5)
Bobby Valentine does not grasp it was PLAY or the RITUAL DRAMA or the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at Mount Sinai that God abandoned the Jews to worship the starry host and Babylonian rituals because the people were beyond redemption and were being sent back to their place and occupation as robbers of caravans:
God sends strong delusions and the worst kind is to mouth JEWISH FABLES. In Ephesians 4 contrary to "unity in diversity" Jesus as HOLY SPIRIT had Paul warn against the cunning craftsmen or sophists meaning speakers, singers or instrument players because they are LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.
“Holy love is the only subject treated in this Song. We must remember that love reveals itself, not by words or phrases, but by action and experience. It is Love which speaks here, and if anyone wishes to understand it, let him first love. Otherwise it would be folly to read this song of love, because it is absolutely impossible for a cold heart to grasp the meaning of language so inflamed.” (Bernard of Clairvaux, Sermon 70.1)
The Hieros-Gamos in Song of Solomon and of the BRIDES in Revelation 18. On the other hand, the ancient tradition of the deity's conjugal relations with the people of the land found its way into the Jewish tradition when the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both referred to God as the "husband" of Israel. Speaking of the city of Jerusalem, Isaiah wrote: "As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you" (Isaiah 62:4). In later tradition, the Sabbath would be welcomed by the faithful congregation in the role of a Bride, and the Shekhinah would be seen as a feminine aspect of God that, among other things, plays a wifely role to a tzaddik, or holy man.
Finally, the Song of Solomon, although it has many interpretations, is often cited as an example of the literature of hieros gamos.
Jacob cursed the Levites and commanded that the godly people not attend their synagogues nor enter into covenant with them. Mount Sinai is the proof that religious observations VIOLATING the REST of god produces sexual and homosexual violence. In modern religions it is always on the stage and virtual but crime shows proof that all priesthoods are afflicted.

Wikipedia verifies that The dress of the whore of Babylon is similar to the Jerusalem High Priest (Exodus 28:6).
Several Old Testament prophets referred to Jerusalem as being a spiritual harlot and a mother of such harlotry (Isaiah 1:21; Jeremiah 2:20; Jeremiah 3:1–11; Ezekiel 16:1–43; Ezekiel 23, Galatians 4:25). Some of the these Old Testament prophecies as well as the warnings in the New Testament concerning Jerusalem are in fact very close to the text concerning Babylon in Revelation, suggesting that John may well have actually been citing those prophecies in his description of Babylon.
For example, in Matthew 23:34–37 and Luke 11:47–51, Jesus himself assigned all of the bloodguilt for the killing of the prophets and of the saints (of all time) to the Pharisees of Jerusalem, and, in Revelation 17:6 and 18:20,24, almost identical phrasing is used in charging that very same bloodguilt to Babylon. This is also bolstered by Jesus' statement that "it's not possible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem." (Luke 13:33).[50]The Books of Jubilee confirm the Hieros Gamos from ancient and modern Babylon
2 Maccabees 6
1 - Not long after this, the king sent an Athenian senator to compel the Jews to forsake the laws of their fathers and cease to live by the laws of God,
2 - and also to pollute the temple
> in Jerusalem and call it the temple of Olympian Zeus, [Father of KAIROS]
> and to call the one in Gerizim the temple of Zeus the Friend of Strangers,
as did the people who dwelt in that place.
3 - Harsh and utterly grievous was the onslaught of evil.
4 - For the temple was filled with debauchery and reveling by the Gentiles,
who dallied with harlots and
had intercourse with women within the sacred precincts,
and besides brought in things for sacrifice that were unfit.
5 - The altar was covered with abominable offerings which were forbidden by the laws.
No musical instruments were allowed into the holy places of the temple.6 - A man could neither keep the sabbath, nor observe the feasts of his fathers, nor so much as confess himself to be a Jew.
Sabbath "worship" was Babylonian "worship." Therefore, God outlawed "worship" by insisting upon REST on the Sabbath. The Jews hold that it would have been unlawful to play musical instruments on the Sabbath. Therefore, no one could keep the Sabbath and bow to Baal at the same time.7 - On the monthly celebration of the king's birthday, the Jews were taken, under bitter constraint,
to partake of the sacrifices; and when the feast of Dionysus came, [New Wineskins God]
they were compelled to walk in the procession in honor of Dionysus, wearing wreaths of ivy.
8 - At the suggestion of Ptolemy a decree was issued to the neighboring Greek cities,that they should adopt the same policy toward the Jews and make them partake of the sacrifices,
9 - and should slay those who did not choose to change over to Greek customs. One could see, therefore, the misery that had come upon them.
Daniel 8:25 - the note in the originak KJV margin reads, "2 Macc. 6:9," a cross-reference to a book of 2 Maccabees in the Apocrypha10 - For example, two women were brought in for having circumcised their children. These women they publicly paraded about the city, with their babies hung at their breasts, then hurled them down headlong from the wall.
Dan. 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Dan. 8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Dan. 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
11 - Others who had assembled in the caves near by, to observe the seventh day secretly, were betrayed to Philip and were all burned together,
because their piety kept them from defending themselves, in view of their regard for that most holy day.
From Third Maccabees
27 - He proposed to inflict public disgrace upon the Jewish community, and he set up a stone on the tower in the courtyard with this inscription:
28 - "None of those who do not sacrifice shall enter their sanctuaries, and all Jews shall be subjected to a registration involving poll tax and to the status of slaves.
Those who object to this are to be taken by force and put to death;
29 - those who are registered are also to be
branded on their bodies by fire with the ivy-leaf
symbol of Dionysus, and they shall also be reduced to their former limited status."

- The Biblical-Christian certainty is that Paul outlaws women as Pastor-Teachers. His reasons are based on
- Scripture which is always the antithesis of pagan religious-sexual religions such as the Song of Solomon.
- Blasphemy is saying that the WORD (Regulative Principle) says something it REFUTES.
- You cannot be a Christian or Disciple or Student OF Christ without teaching that which is recorded in the Prophets and Apostles.
- Not to worry: Jesus ordained the WAY that is called a SECT and you cannot speak the WORD without suffering the same fate Jesus suffered.
- Neither Jesus nor His LITTLE FLOCK of lost spirits are OF the World.
- The World or Kosmos is the ECUMENICAL or kingdom of the Devil.
- Corrupting the Word or selling learning at retail is defined by Paul and civil Greek Society as adultery.
- God sends strong delusions to those who despise the LOGOS or Regulative Principle and Lying Wonders are religious observations to which the Kingdom does not come.
- The only personified SPIRIT is Apollon as the leader of the muses and sexual rituals.

1Tim. 2:12 But I suffer not
a woman to TEACH, nor to usurp authority over
the man, but to be in silence.
"Michael Clycas, the Byzantine historiographer, uses this verb to describe the woman, 'who make sexual advances to men and fornicate as much as they please without arousing their husband's jealous.'" (Charles Trombly, Who Said Women Can't Teach, p. 176)
Ephesus was famous for its shrine of Diana, where thousands of sacred prostitutes believed fornication
brought believers into contact with deity
in much the say way the Gnostics used authentia to bind the flesh and the divine together.
When these owm converted to Christianity they had to unlearn these pagan practices.' Trombley, p. 177)A pro-feminist author nevertheless confesses: "By thrusting themselves forward as the originators or inspirers of religious hymns or creative drama, the woman would be exercising sexual authority. This has nothing to do with "authority to speak" because non-inspired men not "senior male husbands" have no more authority.
"Ephesus was famous for its shrine of Diana, where thousands of sacred prostitutes believed fornication brought believers into contact with deity in much the same way the Gnostics used authentia (authority) to bind the flesh and the divine together. When these women converted to Christianity they had to unlearn these pagan practices. 'Virtually without exception,
female teachers among the Greeks were courtesans, such as Aspasia, who numbered Socrates and Pericles among her students. Active in every major school of philosophy,
these hetairai made it evident in the course of their lectures that they were available afterwards for a second occupation.
But the Bible teaches that to seduce men in such a manner was indeed to lead them to slaughter and the halls of death (cf. Prov. 2:18; 5:5; 6:27; 9:18).
The verb authentein is thus peculiarly apt to describe both the erotic and murderous." (Trombley, Who Says Women Can't Teach, p. 177).
"dionysus's worship is thus established by the simple means of killing the opposition. It has been suggested that every tragic hero who suffers and dies on stage at the Dionysia, the great dramatic festival at Athens (of the South?), is in fact dionysus himself, being killed."

The Song of Solomon was an ancient story of the Sumerian Tripple Goddesses who devolved into a FAMILY of father, mother (spirit) and infant son since males seemed necessary for procreation. Men who hallucinate that they hear "a spirit" and are marked by all of history as PARASITES naturally seduce women into being partners in a Prophetic Fall From Grace.
Anyone defining WORDS and seeing how they are used in the ancient texts will KNOW that this is a typical Fertility Ritual from Babylon onward. Based on the Driven Purpose to DEPROGRAM young conservatives and add them to the Instrumental SECT; and by Paul's proof they are not ignorant of the Bible as it appears but are foreordained. Jude warns against the ancient PATTERN and the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted fall from grace at Mount Sinai:
Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it was needful for me to write unto you,
and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith [The Faith is the Word or Logos as God's Regulative Principle]
which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
and denying
the only Lord God,
AND
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,
how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate,
but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to fornication,
and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire
The Hieros-Gamos in Song of Solomon and of the BRIDES in Revelation 18.
In ancient Sumerian cosmology, heaven (An) and earth (Ki) were originally a single entity, the sacred mountain Anki. The lower valley-like part of Anki, earth, was female; while its upper summit, heaven, was male.
This is done in a virtual sense when people "Celebrate their union" as a spiritual ting.
Earth is Jeanene Reese's PATTERN for Female Roles.
Modern scholars such as Joseph Campbell hold that the creation story of the Book of Genesis represents a retelling of the Enuma Elish creation myth. Here, the vision of Aspu and Tiamat's coupling is condensed into the formula:
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Gen 1:2)
.
Tamar and Judah.A biblical instance of a sacred harlot probably associated with the tradition of hieros gamos concerns the patriarch Judah in the Book of Genesis. Judah, whose lineage is about to expire, goes to the town of Timnah for a spring sheep-shearing festival, where he has sexual relations with a veiled sacred harlot near the town gate. The woman is actually his daughter-in-law Tamar, who bears him twin sons that become the forefathers of the Tribe of Judah.
Later, such practices were strongly condemned by the prophets and writers of biblical histories. Deuteronomy 23:17 forbids the practice which Tamar imitated, saying: "No Israelite man or woman is to become a shrine prostitute." The prophet Jeremiah complained: "Have you seen what faithless Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every spreading tree and has committed adultery there" (Jeremiah 3:6).
The Books of Kings refer to male shrine prostitutes as common in the Kingdom of Judah as early as the days of King Rehoboam (tenth century B.C.E.) and as late as King Josiah (late seventh century B.C.E.): "He (Josiah) also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes, which were in the temple of the Lord and where women did weaving for Asherah" (2 Kings 23:7).
On the other hand, the ancient tradition of the deity's conjugal relations with the people of the land found its way into the Jewish tradition when the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both referred to God as the "husband" of Israel. Speaking of the city of Jerusalem, Isaiah wrote: "As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you" (Isaiah 62:4). In later tradition, the Sabbath would be welcomed by the faithful congregation in the role of a Bride, and the Shekhinah would be seen as a feminine aspect of God that, among other things, plays a wifely role to a tzaddik, or holy man.
Finally, the Song of Solomon, although it has many interpretations, is often cited as an example of the literature of hieros gamos.
The Spirit of Christ (God's breath) defined the REST from pastors both inclusively and exclusively. God's Spirit said of those who do not SPEAK that which is delivered to them that THERE IS NO LIFE IN THEM.
The spirit OF Christ spoke through the PROPHETS to univerally condemn music as the MARK and CAUSE of rejecting the Word. Otherwise, to prophesy meant to MAKE SELF a prophets in a singing, dancing and musical sense.
Moses wrote an inverted version of Clay Tablets after the fall into Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at Mount Sinai. As he warns those sentenced to return to Babylonianism, the story of EVE is the story of the first woman who claimed that SHE got a MAN from a god. Peter says that she was wholly seduced and Cain (from a musical mark) was OF that wicked one. Paul silences both male and female other than the READER and the Jewish synagogue never read the group of texts explaining and excluding any performance preaching.
Eve as the woman as the separation of the original hermaphrodite god. That which was removed (in myths) was a Vires or Venom or Venus.
[10.3.15] They invented names appropriate to the flute, and to the noises made by castanets, cymbals, and drums, and to their acclamations and shouts of "ev-ah," and stampings of the feet; (Eve or Sophia-Zoe) (See The Eve-Zoe connection)
and they also invented some of the names by which to designate the ministers,
choral dancers, and attendants upon the sacred rites,
I mean "Cabeiri" and "Corybantes" and "Pans" (gender-bent) and "Satyri" and "Tityri,"and they called the god "Bacchus," and Rhea "Cybele" or "Cybebe" or "Dindymene" according to the places where she was worshipped. Sabazius also belongs to the Phrygian group and in a way
(Priests of Cybele were effeminate and emasculated themselves. Paul said in Galatians 5:12, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!" The agitators "drove people out of their homes (churches?)) All pagan gods or goddesses and therefore their priests were homosexual.
is the child of the Mother, since he too transmitted the rites of Dionysus.
[10.3.19] Further, one might also find, in addition to these facts concerning these genii and their various names, that they were called,
- not only ministers of gods,
- but also gods themselves.
For instance, Hesiod says that five daughters were born to Hecaterus and the daughter of Phoroneus, from whom sprang the mountain-ranging nymphs (like har-meggido little hills striving to be mountains), goddesses, and the breed of Satyrs,
- creatures worthless and unfit for work,
- and also the Curetes, sportive gods, dancers.
And the author of Phoronis speaks of the
- Curetes as "flute-players" and "Phrygians"; and
- others as "earth-born" and "wearing brazen shields."
Theophilus.Autolycus.II.html This Eve, on account of her having been in the beginning deceived by the serpent, and become the author of sin, the wicked demon, who also is called Satan, who then spoke to her through the serpent, and who works even to this day in those men that are possessed by him, invokes as Eve.58 And he is called "demon" and "dragon," on account of his revolting from God. For at first he was an angel. And concerning his history there is a great deal to be said; wherefore I at present omit the relation of it, for I have also given an account of him in another place.
The word "abomination" is also key to understanding the context. In Hebrew, the word "to 'evah," (abomination) is almost invariably linked to idolatry. In the passages from which both verses are taken, God tells Moses to tell the people not to follow the idolatrous practices of the people around them, people who sacrificed their children to Molech, or who masturbated into the fire to offer their semen to Molech, for example. Chapter 20 starts off with the same warning.
"To 'evah" also means "something which is ritually unclean," not something evil in itself, like rape or theft. Eating pork or having sex during menstruation are ritually unclean.Hislop notes that: "The Primeval or Creative god was mystically represented as Androgyne, as combining in his own person both sexes (Ibid.), being therefore both Janus and Cybele at the same time.
In opening up the Mysteries, therefore, of this mysterious divinity,
it was natural that the Pontifex should bear the key of both these divinities. Janus himself, however, as well as Pluto, was often represented with more than one key.
"This Phaethon (son of Helios), or Lucifer, who was cast down is further proved to be Janus; for Janus is called "Pater Matutinus" (HORACE); and the meaning of this name will appear in one of its aspects when the meaning of the name of the Dea Matuta is ascertained. Dea Matuta signifies "The kindling or Light-bringing goddess," * and accordingly, by Priscian, she is identified with Aurora."
Zoe or Sophia-Zoe is the feminine from of Lucifer and she forces the males into musical worship teams.
Elsewhere Hislop notes: "The name, as given in Greek by Berosus, is O-annes; but this is just the very way we might expect "He-anesth," "the man," to appear in Greek. He-siri, in Greek, becomes Osiris; and He-sarsiphon, Osarsiphon; and, in like manner, He-anesh naturally becomes Oannes. In the sense of a "Man-god"
Osiris was worshiped under the literal bull Apis and idolized as the golden calf at Mount Sinai. The "because of transgression" sin which brought on the Law was the musical worship they brought with them from Egypt.THE LAW SILENCED MIRIAM AND GAVE HER A DOSE OF LEPROSY FOR PRETENDING.

JESUS DIDN'T STAY DEAD and all of the tens of thousands of harps and all of the Levites as worship Team as far as we know were BURNED UP and cast on a bed of MAGGOTS a symbol of eternal hell.Jesus warned that theologians or Doctors of the Law Take Away the Key to Knowledge. There is no reason that they should understand that Solomon was covered up with wives and concubines or singers both male and female. Solomon built a Temple which God did not command at an old Jebusite High place. It was laready operating and now abandoned to Babylonianism. If you are ignorant of the Clay Tablets you should not presume to be a thought leader.
"There are enchanters and diviners , [mantikous kai epōdous] , versed in the rites and customs relative to the dead, who go about villages and towns begging [epait-eō 2. beg as a mendicant,,] . There are others who are more civilized and better informed than these, who inculcate the vulgar opinions concerning Hades,, which, according to their ideas, tend to piety and sanctity. Women study philosophy with some of them, but abstain from sexual intercourse. 15(61) Aristobulus says, that he saw at Taxila two SOPhists (wise men), both Brachmanes, the elder had his head shaved, but the younger wore his hair; both were attended by disciples.
Aristobulus relates also some strange and unusual customs of the people of Taxila. Those, who through poverty are unable to marry their daughters, expose them for sale in the market-place, in the flower of their age, to the sound of shell trumpets and drums, with which the war-note is given. A crowd is thus assembled. First her back, as far as the shoulders, is uncovered, then the parts in front, for the examination of any man who comes for this purpose. If she pleases him, he marries her on such conditions as may be determined upon.
Chambers' Encyclopedia says: "The Jews, as well as the early Christians, had no special names for the single days, but counted their number from the previous Sabbath, beginning with Sunday, as the first after the Sabbath, and ending with Friday, as the sixth after the previous, or eve (Ereb) of the next Sabbath.but the younger wore his hair; both were attended by disciples. When not otherwise engaged, they spent their time in the market-place. They are honoured as public counsellors, and have the liberty of taking away, without payment, whatever article they like which is exposed for sale; when any one accosts them, he pours over them oil of jessamine, in such profusion that it runs down from their eyes. Of honey and sesamum, which is exposed for sale in large quantity, they take enough to make cakes, and are fed without expense.
The planetary gods Nardouk (Jupiter), Adar (Saturn), Istar (Venus, Zoe, Lucifer), Nergal (Mars), and Nebo (Mercury),* were all worshiped by the ancient Israelites. Istar was called "Queen of the Stars." Moloch, the rival of Jehovah, who shared for centuries the worship of the Hebrews, had his blazing star, the emblem of his implacable cruelty. The worship of Astarte, daughter of the moon, and "Queen of Heaven," whose emblem was a star, was introduced by Solomon himself (1 Kings xi, 5; 2 Kings xxiii, 13).

The Jews blew the trumpet on the newmoon, poured out libations and offered burnt sacrifices. And for this duty the Lobii, Luim or Levites were assigned to do just what the Brahmans did in India. They ministered to la'hoh, Lord of Life, according to Exodus, iii. 14 ; xxxviii. 21; xl. 15; Jeremiah, xxxiii. 18. Hence the Jews were the Brahmaus of Palestine, as Josephus said, worshipping Brahma, whom, for their own political purposes, they chose to regard as Ab (Father) Ram (Most High) which title is not unsuitable to the Most High of the Hindu Gods. King states that the words brahrna and abrahm have the same numerical value.Sara Barton: Song of Songs is unique in several ways, one of which is the fact that it’s the only place in Scripture where a woman’s voice leads the conversation (the woman speaks 61 of 117 verses). In light of what we’ve heard lately, it seems like a good time to let a wise woman speak about sexual activity that’s right and good, a woman who not only speaks but sings and shouts about intimate, sensual, erotic passion. And in all her talk about kissing, touching, tasting, and smelling, she does not offend with crass or vulgar language. She exemplifies how it’s possible to speak about sex and intimacy appropriately. We might do well to let her teach us a thing or two.
Paul silenced both men and women: He silenced women because they pretended and sold themselves as hearing the voice or impulses of the gods. They were silenced in all of the DIRECT COMMANDS which cannot be refuted because.

Nor are we concerned with Phrygian mutilations and flutes and Corybantes, and all the ravings of men concerning Rhea [Zoe], consecrating people to the mother of the gods, and being initiated into such ceremonies as befit the mother of such gods as these. Nor have we any carrying away of the Maiden, nor wandering of Demeter, nor her intimacy with Celei and Triptolemi and Dragons; nor her doings and sufferings ... for I am ashamed to bring into daylight that ceremony of the night, and to make a sacred mystery of obscenity. Eleusis knows these things, and so do those who are eyewitnesses of what is there guarded by silence, and well worthy of it. Nor is our commemoration one of Dionysus, and the thigh that travailed with an incomplete birth, as before a head had travailed with another; nor of the hermaphrodite god, nor a chorus of the drunken and enervated host; nor of the folly of the Thebans which honours him; nor the thunderbolt of Semele which they adore. Nor is it the harlot mysteries of Aphrodite, who, as they themselves admit, was basely born and basely honoured; nor have we here Phalli and Ithyphalli, shameful both in form and action; nor Taurian massacres of strangers; nor blood of Laconian youths shed upon the altars, as they scourged themselves with the whips; and in this case alone use their courage badly, who honour a goddess, and her a virgin. For these same people both honour effeminacy, and worship boldness.
11 There was a temple of Rhea [EVE] in Phrygia, in which at her festivals people mutilated themselves to do her honour. The flutes alluded to served to turn the thoughts of the sufferes from the pain of the operation.The Corybantes were the ministers of the goddess, who led the wild orgies [Paul's Wrath] of her worship. It is believed that there is an allusion to this practice of self-mutilation in Galat. v. 12. So at least S. Jerome, S. Ambrose, and all the Greek Fathers take the passage. S. Thomas Aquinas, understanding the word in the same sense, applies it mystically; and Estius, who here follows Erasmus, refers the "cutting off" merely to excommunication, a sense which he calls "Apostolico sensu dignior,"through why "dignior" it is not easy to see. Yet he acknowledges that those who interpret it literally do so "non immerito."
Now indeed an ugly fellow bantered into an opinion that he is handsome,Plut. Adulator 12
They tell us that gad-flies creep into the ears of bulls, and ticks into those of dogs. [Catamites]
But I am sure the parasite lays so close siege and sticks so fast to the ears of the ambitious
with the repeated praises of their worth,
that it is no easy matter to shake him off again.
Indeed they who continue their applauses to so inconsiderable a thing as a single action,
a wise saying, or a smart jest, do only a little present mischief;
but they who from single acts proceed to debauch even the habits of the mind
with their immoderate praises are like those treacherous servants who,
not content to rob the common heap in the granary,
filch even that which was chosen and reserved for seed.
As Plato somewhere remarks, that a lover who is always a flatterer of his beloved object
styles a flat nose lovely and graceful,
an hawk nose princely, the black manly,
and the fair the offspring of the Gods;
and observes particularly
that the appellation of honey-pale
is nothing but the daub of a gallant
who is willing to set off his mistress's pale complexion.2
or a little man magnified into tall and portly, [p. 118]
cannot lie long under the mistake nor receive any great injury by the cheat;
but when vice is extolled by the name of virtue,
so that a man is induced to sin not only without regret but with joy and triumph,
and is hardened beyond the modesty of a blush for his enormities,
this sort of flattery, I say, has been fatal even to whole kingdoms.
It was this that ruined Sicily,
by styling the tyranny of Dionysius [New Wineskins god]
and Phalaris nothing but justice and a hatred of villanous practices
It was this that overthrew Egypt, by palliating the king's effeminacy,
his yellings, his enthusiastic rants, and his beating of drums,
with the more plausible names of true religion and the worship of the Gods.
It was this that had very nigh ruined the stanch Roman temper,
by extenuating the voluptuousness, the luxury, the sumptuous shows,
and public profuseness of Antony,
into the softer terms of humanity, good nature,
and the generosity of a gentleman who knew how to use the greatness of his fortune.
What but the charms of flattery made Ptolemy turn piper and fiddler?
What else put on Nero's buskins and brought him on the stage?
Because Solomon and the Jews had been "turned over to worship the starry host" a student should not see the Song as a PATTERN for preaching and teaching FOR hire.
That will get you invited to a lot of what Ezekiel called Workshops of Evil where Women cause the souls of MEN to FLY.
See Women Preachers Warned About by the Spirit OF Christ in Ezekiel 13
And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Woe to the women that sew pillows (seductive suggestion) to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you? Ezekiel13:18
Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them, Eze 13:17
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? Eze 13:19
Pollute is from the Hebrew word:
Chalal (h2490) khaw-lal' to wound, to dissolve; figurative to profane (a person, place or thing), to break (one's word), to begin (as if by an "opening wedge"); denom. (from 2485) to play the flute): defile, eat as common things, gather the grape thereof, take inheritance, pipe, player on instruments, pollute, (cast as) profane (self), prostitute Yes, I know that pollute means different things, but isn't it interesting that God always associates things like pollute, flute and prostitute?
No, this is Purpose Driven and God is doing the DRIVING. At the right time the prophecy of Revelation 17f is fulfilled. The Babylon Mother of Harlots neuters males as "lusted after fruits" (same as in Amos 8). The craftsmen are speakers, singers, instrument players and prostitutes. The Grinders and the Brides and Bridegroom and the piping sound is the mark of the Hieros Gamos or sacred end time rise of Babylonianism. When you see and hear the MARKS it is sign defined in Isaiah 30 of God driving His enemies ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or Sophists who are speakers, singers or instrument players SELLING themselves speaking their OWN words. Jesus calls them the sons of the Devil.
WITHOUT GETTING TOO EXPANSIVE, THE SONG OF SOLOMON IS CELEBRATING THE HOLY MARRIAGE BY WHICH THE KING AND A PROSTITUTE CELEBRATE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS.
The godly Jewish women and men were quarantined to their isolated towns and not permitted to attend this celebration of the Babylon Mother of Harlots as a temple and by a king which God did NOT command but abandoned.
Inanna Gifts of Me - Genun Jubal Parallel
Inanna as Queen of Heaven and Earth, cylinder seal, Akkad period, c. 2334-2154 BCE. In it, the Goddess wears the horned and tiered crown, image of the sacred mound, which is worn by all the major Sumerian deities, and the tiered dress worn by Sumerian goddesses. An eight-rayed star is near her, the image of the planet Venus. She carries a staff of intertwined serpents and stands on rests her foot upon lions. Shoots ending in buds spring from her right shoulder, indicating her nature as a Goddess of War and Fertility. Sometimes these buds and maces alternate with formalized images of the serpent that come from the Snake Goddesses of Neolithic times.

"She is called Dat ba'thani, Lady of the Serpent. Another name of ´Asherah in the first millennium BCE is Chawat, which is Hawah in Hebrew and Eve in English. Her full title is Rabat Chawat ´Elat, Great Lady Eve the Goddess, and is associated with the serpent. Thus, Chawa/ Eve (ZOE) is probably a form of´Asherah as a Serpent Goddess. As a snake goddess, She was also represented by bronze serpent forms, examples of which have been found in archaeological excavations in the Levant. In fact the Nehush-tan, literally the Bronze Serpent which is associated with Moses, is much more likely an emblem of Asherah. It too was removed from the Jerusalem temple the same time as the asherah objects.
THE SONG AND LAMENTING FOR TAMMUZ BY THE WOMEN IN EZEKIEL 8
The SHEPHERD is Tammuz or Adonis
INANNA (Inannu)Sumerian earth-goddess, sister of Ereshkigal. She loved Dumuzi. Babylonian mother-goddess, "mistress of heaven." See Ishtar (Babylonian) .
Nanna's daughter, and goddess of love and war. Inanna also visits Kur, which results in a myth similar to Greek seasonal story of Persephone. She sets out to witness the funeral rites of her sister-in-law Ereshkigal's husband Gugalana, the Bull of Heaven. She takes precaution before setting out, by telling her servant Ninshubur to seek assistance from Enlil, Nanna, or Enki at their shrines, should she not return. Inanna knocks on the outer gates of Kur and the gatekeeper, Neti, questions her. He consults with queen Ereshkigal and then allows Inanna to pass through the seven gates of the underworld. After each gate, she is required to remove adornments and articles of clothing, until after the seventh gate, she is naked. The Annuna pass judgment against her and Ereshkigal killed her and hung her on the wall.
The goddess Inanna was the most important female deity of ancient Mesopotamia. The etymology of her name is uncertain; but by the end of the third millennium B.C. it was taken to derive from nin.an.na : "Lady of Heaven." Also known as Innin, her epithets reflect her broad role in the pantheon: Ninmesarra - "Queen of all the Me," a title making her one of the most influential deities in the world of gods and men; Nu-ugiganna - "the Hierodule of Heaven," a projection of her erotic functions to the cosmic scale; and Usunzianna - "Exalted Cow of Heaven," she who provides life and sustenance to the land. In this aspect, it was Inanna who yearly reunited symbolically with her consort Dumuzi to restore life and fertility in the land.
This cycle, known as the Sacred Marriage, was a common theme in songs sung in her praise. Inanna represented the force of sexual reproduction and the power of the passions so incited. This passion finds its compliment in her martial character, 'the heroic champion, the destroyer of foreign lands, foremost in battle.' She was the daughter of the moon-god Nanna (though some traditions held her to be the daughter of An). Her sister was the netherworld goddess Ereskigal. Inanna's beast was the lion. Her usual symbol was the star or star disk (though it may also have been the rosette).
ISHTAR
Ishtar's primary legacy from the Sumerian tradition is the role of fertility figure; she evolved, however, into a more complex character, surrounded in myth by death and disaster, a goddess of contradictory connotations and forces: fire and fire-quenching, rejoicing and tears, fair play and enmity. The Akkadian Ishtar is also, to a greater extent, an astral deity, associated with the planet Venus: with Shamash, sun god, and Sin, moon god, she forms a secondary astral triad. In this manifestation her symbol is a star with 6, 8, or 16 rays within a circle.
She appears at times as Anu' second consort. Ishtar, with Shamash and Sin (the life-force, the sun, and the moon), formed an important triad of divinities. In astronomy Ishtar was a name of the planet Venus -- the double aspect of the goddess being made to correspond to the morning and evening star. (Lucifer)As goddess of Venus, delighting in bodily love, Ishtar was the protectress of prostitutes and the patroness of the alehouse. Part of her cult worship probably included temple prostitution, and her cult centre, Erech, was a city filled with courtesans and harlots. Her popularity was universal in the ancient Middle East, and in many centres of worship she probably subsumed numerous local goddesses.
In later myth she was known as Queen of the Universe, taking on the powers of An, Enlil, and Enki.
In Romans 14 Paul Warned against this evil practice and SILENCES anyone but those who Edify or Educate. In Romans 15 He commands "using one mind and one mouth to speaking that which is written for our LEARNING."

And the Roman ladies went often to see them out of curiosity, which gave occasion for assignations at their synagogues.

But most sit down in the sacred plot of Aphrodite, with crowns of cord on their heads; there is a great multitude of women coming and going; passages marked by line run every way through the crowd, by which the men pass and make their choice. Once a woman has taken her place there, she does not go away to her home before some stranger has cast money into her lap, and had intercourse with her outside the temple; but while he casts the money, he must say, “I invite you in the name of Mylitta” (that is the Assyrian name for Aphrodite). It does not matter what sum the money is; the woman will never refuse, for that would be a sin, the money being by this act made sacred. So she follows the first man who casts it and rejects no one. After their intercourse, having discharged her sacred duty to the goddess, she goes away to her home; and thereafter there is no bribe however great that will get her. So then the women that are fair and tall are soon free to depart, but the uncomely have long to wait because they cannot fulfil the law; for some of them remain for three years, or four. There is a custom like this in some parts of Cyprus.[2]

Qetesh, goddess of sacred ecstasy and sexual pleasureSarpanit In Babylonian mythology, Sarpanit (alternately Sarpanitu, Zarpanit, Zarpandit, Zerpanitum, Zerbanitu, or Zirbanit) is a mother goddess of the god of wisdom, Nabu; the consort of the chief god, Marduk; and the daughter of the enlightened, Enkime. Her name means "the shining one", and she is sometimes associated with the planet Venus. By a play on words her name was interpreted as zēr-bānītu, or "creatress of seed", and is thereby associated with the goddess Aruru, who, according to Babylonian myth, created mankind.[
Her marriage with Marduk was celebrated annually at New Year in Babylon. She was worshipped via the rising moon, and was often depicted as being pregnant. She is also known as Erua. She may be the same as Gamsu, Ishtar, and/or Beltis..h
When all the company requested and earnestly begged it of him; first of all (says he), the time and manner of the greatest and most holy solemnity of the Jews is exactly agreeable to the holy rites of Bacchus; for that which they call the Fast they celebrate in the midst of the vintage, furnishing their tables with all sorts of fruits while they sit under tabernacles made of vines and ivy; and the day which immediately goes before this they call the day of Tabernacles.
Within a few days after they celebrate another feast, not darkly but openly, dedicated to Bacchus, for they have a feast amongst them called Kradephoria, from carrying palm-trees, and Thyrsophoria, when they enter into the temple carrying thyrsi.
However, the DIRECT COMMAND is to assemble ourselves ONCE a Week to Rest, Read and Rehears the Word. Paul silences all self-pleasure including all of the performing arts and crafts so that we might "Use one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning." Women are commanded to be silent in the same sense that men are to peaceable and quiet so that we might ALL BE SAFE and come to a knowledge of the truth.

Rev 18:22 And the voice of harpers, and musicians [Apollyon's muses or locusts] and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, [theater builders and stage managers] of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone [called a pipe, made a wistling sound to attract with spread legs.] shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride [Nymphs of the Hieros-Gamos] shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries [The work of the original Babylon mother of harlots] were all nations deceived.
Kiss the Candlestick good by.
