Acts.17.25.God.Not.Worshipped.Mens.Hands.html

Nor in houses built by human hands!
There is NO money in the kingdom of Christ. Religious operators were called PARASITES.

The BEAST from the EARTH exerciseth all the POWER of the first BEAST before him,
        and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein
        to WORSHIP the first BEAST, whose deadly wound was healed.
Rev. 13:12

REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH SORCERERS ABLE TO SEDUCE ALL INTELLECTS.

Monterey Church of Christ Brian Starr Music Marks the following practices of
An Abomination, Witchcraft, the BEASTS, Sorcery, Charming, Soothsaying,  enchantment, harlots, beguile, serpents, vipers, Serpo, Herpo, inducing wine-dranking, Cunning Craftsmen or Sophists, Rhetoricians, Dogs or Catamites, magic, Voodoo in primitive America, Melodies to deceive, Deceiver, Cunning Crafts, Techne, religious craftsmen, Lucifer, Voodoo, Locusts, Apollyon, Levi-Leviathan, Lake of Fire
Scripture makes it clear that Jesus was sent INTO the world but not OF this world to rescue a small band of Lost Spirits. They captives and imprisoned by those OF the World, Kosmos, Ecumenical or the kingdom of Satan.  The kingdom of Christ does not come with observations meaning religious WORSHIP observations, operations which are Lying wonders.

THOSE WHO WOULD LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL YOUR CHURCH OR UNIVERSITY ARE ELATED THAT THEY CAN DO WHAT JUDE SAYS WAS FORE ORDAINED OF THEM.  We want to say that even Phds are Biblically and Ethically illliterate but Jesus in His present STATE of Holy Spirit had Paul say that THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.  The Babylon Mother of Harlots has arrived: her priesthood are "Lusted after Fruts."  ALL religious craftsmen or technicians, singers or instrument players are defined by the Greek PARASITE.  When they dedicate themselves to enhance a Religious Worship Services which SILENCES the School of Christ, they are defined as ANETHEMA.  They cannot be redeemed and must be Burned.  Revelation 18 says that they HAD once Deceived the whole world and again, Jude says that they were FORE ORDAINED.  They are LIARS and SORCERERS and they are maybe already CASTING THEMSELVES INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE as they are CONSUMED by their own MOUTH. 

SAM: Our role as worship leaders is to minister to the heart of God Himself – our worship is about HIM and Him alone. We also serve to BLESS those who gather for worship in our services, not so that they can walk away “satisfied” or “filled” by the music, but so that space is created for them to encounter the living God.

Sam, you have OFFENDED dozens of faithful believers and it takes only ONE to earn you a millstone. You had better give up and get yourself fitted..

BELIEVE IT: no one could be so Biblically and Christ illiterate: they are rejoicing in that they are obeying THEIR father's will.

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 ]

John 8:37 I know that ye are Abrahams seed; but ye seek to kill me,
        because my WORD (logos) 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 FATHER father.

For Epharmostus of Opus Wrestling-Match 466 B. C.

The resounding strain of Archilochus, the swelling thrice-repeated song of triumph, sufficed to lead Epharmostus to the hill of Cronus, in victory [Nike]-procession with his dear companions.
        [5] But now, from the bow of the Muses who,
        shooting from afar, send a shower of such arrows of song
        as these on Zeus of the red lightning-bolt and on the sacred height of Elis,
        which once the Lydian hero Pelops [10] won as the very fine dowry of Hippodameia.
And shoot a winged sweet arrow to Pytho;
        for your words will not fall to the ground, short of the mark,
        when you trill the lyre in honor of the wrestling of the man from renowned Opus.
Praise Opus and her son; [15] praise her whom Themis and her glorious daughter, the savior Eunomia, have received under their protection; she flourishes with excellence beside your stream, Castalia, and beside the Alpheus. From there the choicest garlands [20] glorify the famous mother-city of the Locrians with her splendid trees. I am lighting up that dear city with fiery songs, and more swiftly than a spirited horse or a winged ship [25] I will send that message everywhere, so surely as I, by some destined skill, am cultivating the exquisite garden of the Graces; for they are the givers of delight, but men become brave and skillful by divine will.

Brian Starr: The a cappella TRADITION in Churches of Christ is rooted in Scripture and the early Christian church, said Brian Starr, Lubbock Christian University executive vice president.

History notes that STRAIGHT and RATIONAL people never engaged in singing and especially playing a flute or harp.  This was the almost total occupation of priestesses who were also prostitutes.

Worship.Androgyny.The.Pagan.Sexual.Ideal

It is the PERSONA of Rhetorical Preaching (not role or dole in God's pattern), singing and playing instruments which REVOLTS true Disciples-Students along with their Biblical Literacy.

There is not a verse about SINGING in a TUNEFUL sense with or without instruments in all of Scripture.
God gave the Seventh day after working six days to the workers: it was never a day of worship.  Exodus 18 BEFORE the Law defines isolated groups as small as ten families led by a NON MERCINARY elder.  Rest or Sabbath includes SCHOOL.

READING IS THE SINGULAR PATTERN FOR ANY CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY.  Honoring the Death of Jesus is supposed to SILENCE both Male and Female so that "we might be SAFE and come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH.  That is the Word, Logos or regulative principle.

RiddebosP.483.jpeg

Brian Starr: “The early leaders of the (Church of Christ) movement took a high view of Scripture and, interpreting it within a generally conservative framework, they sought to restore the worship practices found in the New Testament church,” he wrote in an email. “From that stance, they typically embraced a capella as their worship style.”

Churches of Christ existed by that NAME in all periods of church history.  NONE of the ever engaged in even 'singing' until John Calvin allows a few PSALMS-ONLY to be REwritten and set to a simple meter to be sung in UNISON ONLY.

There was never any use of organs in any group beyond the Methodists-Angilcan-Catholic churches.  The first organ was in a free Black AME church as a way to raise money.

There was never in SINGING as a public Pay-to-Play in the Bible.  A Cappella was the STYLE of the Pope's castrated Opera singers in the Sistine Chapel (cappella goat) as late as 1911 in the official Pope's Mass.  All such gender confused singing went on mostly without the audience.

Kenneth Latourette, A History of Christianity, p. 760).

"In Gnostic circles religious poetry arose to compete with the Old Testament Psalms. Some Catholics therefore distrusted the composition of hymns after this pattern, on the ground that they might smack of heresy. Yet from at least the second century hymns were written by the orthodox which, like their Gnostic counterparts, employed the forms of Greek poetry...

Until near the end of the fourth century, in the services of the Catholic Church
        only the Old Testament Psalms and
        the hymns or canticles from the New Testament were sung:

"Melody as tunefulness belongs to the 19th century so their singing was cantillating and then by the "monkish" and never by a congregation.
the other hymns were for personal family, or private use.
Gradually there were prepared versical paraphrases of the Psalms, hymns
with lines of equal length, and hymns which were acrostic." (Latourette, Christianity. p. 207).
From Ephraim the Syrian and Aphrahat the Persian Sage

To Ephraim pertains the high and unique distinction of having originated-or at least given its living impulse to-
        a new departure in sacred literature; and that, not for his own country merely, but for Christendom.

From him came, if not the first idea, at all events the first successful example,
        of making song an essential constituent of public worship,
        and an exponent of theological teaching;
        and from him it spread and prevailed through
        the Eastern Churches, and affected even those of the West.

To the Hymns, on which chiefly his fame rests, the Syriac ritual in all its forms owes much of its strength and richness; and to them is largely due the place which Hymnody holds throughout the Church everywhere.

And hence it has come to pass that, in the Church everywhere, he stands as the representative Syrian Father, as the fixed epithet appended to his name attests-" Ephraim the Syrian,"-the one Syrian known and reverenced in all Christendom.

From a few lines of Proba's work can be seen the problems with this approach: little of what was created could justifiably be placed alongside the great works of the past, and since that was an implicit target the failure to meet it was embarrassing;

        more pressingly, such Christianisations did not appeal to the highly educated, who preferred to read the imitated originals,

and did not appeal to Christians who would not otherwise have read the originals, who needed something written to their own culture and not to that of a past elite.

This kind of imitation had its brief flourishing at the time of the emperor Julian, who forbade Christians to teach pagan works, but had no lasting effect.

Brian Starr. The practice continues in most Churches of Christ, including the majority in Lubbock.

To explain the TRADITION, many pastors point to New Testament Scriptures like Ephesians 5:19-20, which reads, “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” (NIV 1984).

Absent in the New Testament are explicit references to instrumental worship, pointing to a Christian standard of a capella worship, some argue.

Paul warned that UNCONVERTED people cannot READ BLACK text on BROWN paper.  There is no reason that a Phd in Bible should ever have read beneath the surface.

Our response to God’s grace is to worship Him with heart, soul, mind and strength. In a world that worships power, image, and wealth, we submit our lives to God, offering our work, play and rest as living sacrifices to Him (Romans 12:1-2).

Romans.12 Reasonable Worship with Christ's Word is the Opposite of Music and Rhetoric

The BEAST in Revelation is defined as "A New Style of Music or Satyric Drama."  The Satyrs were half CAPPELLA or GOATS and used His Pan Pipes to seduce people as male or female prostitute.

There is not a single verse about godly people being called into assembly for group singing with or without noise making instruments.
The singular Pattern from the Church in the Wilderness is defined--
        Exclusive of Vocal or Instrumental Rejoicing.
        Inclusive or REST, Reading and Rehearsing the WORD.
This is repeated by Paul in Romans 15 to PREVENT the reproaches or sexual attacks on Jesus.

Romans 12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
..........YE present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
..........which is your reasonable service.  
             tēn logikēn latreian humōn:

First, the body of flesh must be sacrificed or burned up:

Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ’s have
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

IF YOU UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF CHURCH AS A MESSAGE FROM GOD TO US, YOU WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE MAKING ALL OF THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH, EYES AND EARS ABSOLUTELY SILENT

"Biblical Greek. Here the meaning is always religious. leitourgia in the OT is limited to priestly and Levitical administration. In the LXX it renders chiefly the Hebrew abhodha (5656) (from abad (5647)) which signifies service to God, specially undertaken by priests and Levites (e.g. Num.8:25; Lk.1:23; Heb.8:6; 9:21). In Christian Greek there is the additional meaning of brotherly beneficence operating in the local church, seen as a sacrifice to God.

"St. Paul speaks of himself being 'offered,' as upon an altar (Ph.2:17), and Epaphras as sacrificing almost his life to supply the Philippians' lack of leitourgia (2:30). He uses the word to indicate the almsgiving of Corinthian believers (II Cor.9:12). St. Clement speaks of leitourgia of each Christian apparently in the context of the Eucharist (41:1), and later in connection with the bishop's office.(44:3,6).The placing of the word leitourgia in the context of the Eucharist so early in Christian history naturally raises the question whether this term, having a strong sacrificial sense in Biblical Greek, does not figure in the same context in the NT. Is not Paul referring thereby to the offertory gifts at the Breaking of Bread

Rathional opposite to phusis
Plat. Tim. 71e  as good as they possibly could, rectified the vile part of us by thus establishing therein the organ of divination, that it might in some degree lay hold on truth. And that God gave unto man's foolishness the gift of divination a sufficient token is this: no man achieves true and inspired divination when in his rational mind, but only when the power of his intelligence is fettered in sleep or when it is distraught by disease or by reason of some divine inspiration.

But it belongs to a man when in his right mind to recollect and ponder both the things spoken in dream or waking vision by the divining and inspired nature, and all the visionary forms that were seen, and by means of reasoning to discern about them all

Plat. Sym. 215c Why, yes, and a far more marvellous one than the satyr. His lips indeed had power to entrance mankind by means of instruments; a thing still possible today for anyone who can pipe his tunes: for the music of Olympus' flute belonged, I may tell you, to Marsyas his teacher. So that if anyone, whether a fine flute-player or paltry flute-girl, can but flute his tunes, they have no equal for exciting a ravishment, and will indicate by the divinity that is in them who are apt recipients of the deities and their sanctifications. You differ from him in one point only—that you produce the same effect with simple prose unaided by instruments. For example, when we hear any other person—

By implication their power to evoke spirits with whom they were in familiar intercourse is denied." (Int Std Bible Ency., ency, p. 690)
