Revised 5.07.17 People who debate the CENI of God Whom no one hears unless the Son reveals Him. Christ revealed the Church of Christ beginning in the wilderness. In the Prophets He defined the REST DAY both inclusively and exclusively. Debating the CENI is based on personal opinions which the LOGOS or Regulative Principle excludes along with poetry, music or drama. Therefore, the meaning of Strong Delusions MARKED by Lying Wonders or performance preaching, singing, playing or juggling proves that they simply are not permitted to read BLACK text on BROWN Paper. Here is one of the UNIVERSAL definitions of the One Piece Pattern for the Assembly which excludes doctors of the law or performers.

The ANTI-Patternists or ANTI-sectarians fail to grasp or intentionally DISOBEY:

1. Christ prophesied and Jesus put into place "The SECT that is called the WAY."
2. The Way is the ROAD which is a very narrow, exclusive PATTERN

John 8:23 And he SAID unto them, Ye are from BENEITH; I am from above:

Apollo, son of Jupiter and Latona, twinbrother of Diana, and god of the sun. On account of his omniscience, god of divination; but, since his priests were the first physicians, also god of the healing art; and since he communicated oracles in verse, god of poetry and music, presiding over the Muses,
        He is LEADER and guiding SPIRITUS of the LOCUSTS or MUSES in Revelation 18. They are dirty prostitutes usurping as SHEPHERDESSES in a church near you. They are called SORCERERS after the original Babylon Mother of Harlots and they will be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

        for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus SAITH unto them,
         Even the same that I SAID unto you from the beginning. [Not Genesis 1:1]

Jesus obeyed the CENI: you don't need to!

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 8:28 Then SAID Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man,

........... And that I do nothing of myself;

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,

The Kenites or Cainites gained control of the Priesthood almost from the beginning: God had turned them over to worship the STARRY HOST because of musical idolatry were NOT worthy of hearing Jesus. Therefore, He spoke to them in parables. THESE were predestinated to be lost based on their own choices.

When people question the Words of Christ they question God and HE sends strong delusions so that they believe a lie and ae damned. When you fall you cannot get up and THAT was the message about the FALL produced by music.

The PROGRESSIVES are under the Babylon Mother of Harlots (Revelation 17). She uses "lusted after fruits" which are the same as Amos 8. There is not history which does not prove that men who sing and play and wish to expose themselves as the "center' are Drunk, Perverted or Just having fun.

The speakers, singers and instrument players in Revelation 18 are called SORCERERS which is the same word defining the Babylon Mother Sorcerers. This defines the PERFORMERS as Scape Goats or Capella which are being SACRIFICED as the Lead Agents into the Lake of Fire. Christ defined the Prototype Prophecy in Isaiah 30.

The FIRST ADVENT Attack was by Judas who was prophesied to perform the same "vocal or instrumental rejoicing" OUTLAWED for The Church of Christ in the Wilderness. See Psalm 41 and the Dead Sea agreement

No one was every so ignorant even when writing on Clay Tablets that they did not know that people using instrumental noises KNTENDED to Hurt you or Steal your property.

The Greek Scholars agreed with Paul about corrupting the Word that anyone selling their own opinions, talents or charisma were called PROSTITUES. Paul called it selling learning at retail.

Cyrus was told how to NEUTER captives to keep them under control. Power grabbing preachers who want to be MASTERS (Authoratative Teachers) have KEEPING THEM UNDER CONTROL is absolutely necessary less they grasp that Jesus died to pry the burden laders off our backs: the Laded Burdens are types of repeating songs which perform the act of WITCHCRAFT with a boiling pot of frog yes.

Heredotus 1 Grant, then, forgiveness to the Lydians, and to make sure of their never rebelling against thee, or alarming thee more,
send and forbid them to keep any weapons of war,
         command them to wear tunics under their cloaks,
         and to put buskins upon their legs,
         and make them bring up their sons to cithern-playing (Kitharizein),
        and singing (psallein),
       and shop-keeping (Hucksterism). [Corrupting the Word]
So wilt thou soon see them become WOMEN instead of men,
and there will be no more fear of their revolting from thee."

Any kind of performing music when Jesus told us to SPEAK that which is written INTENDS to bring glory and more "Authority" to THE Alpah Male.

Croesus thought the Lydians would even so be better off than if they were sold for slaves, and therefore gave the above advice to Cyrus, knowing that, unless he brought forward some notable suggestion, he would not be able to persuade him to alter his mind. He was likewise afraid lest,after escaping the danger which now pressed, the Lydians at some future time might revolt from the Persians and so bring themselves to ruin.

PROSTITUTION IS SELLING ANY OF YOUR BODY PARTS UNDER THE NAME OF CHRIST

The Bible and most historical scholarship defends God's right to Command, Example and Inference what He wishes mankind to know. A Disciple is about learning what He commands, examples or infers and is not concerned with imposing PATTERNS authorized by Rejecting God's Right to authorize. LOGOS means the Regulative Principle: A Rational God speaks to rational men only through His Son: it takes theologians or doctors of the law to deny Chrict.

Anti-Authoritism is a result of defining A Church of Christ (Ekklesia, Synagogue) as a Worship Center where the audience goes to temple or ziggurat to be led into the presence of gods after they have brought their tithes and offerings.

The Ekklesia defined as the Qahal or Church of Christ (the Rock) is a Safe House for Rest, Reading the Word and Rehearsing it so that you hear only the Word of God.

Paul's gathering, coming together or assemblying uses a "synagogue" word: beginning in the wilderness the pattern was:

INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God delibered to local groups as small as ten families (Exodus 18).
EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing with the blowing of horns: that included any elevated rhetoric. Jesus affirmed the pattern by describing the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites: The Ezekiel 33 pattern by the Spirit OF Christ marked self-speakers, singers and instrument players. These never performed other than to fleece the lambs.

The Serpent or "musical enchanter(ess) in the garden of Eden onward proves that people use MUSIC in order to disable the rational or spiritual nature so they can use the emotion to fleece the lambs.

The synagogue always existed and was held in the isolated areas to prevent travel to Jerusalem or other places devoted to the worship of the starry host.

Music from mystery MEANS to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter. Discord happened in the year 373 when Syrians imposed SINGING as an ACT when reading the Scripture gives no command, example or remote inference that any of God's people called to REST and not WORSHIP ever engaged in group singing with or without instruments. Not comprehending that ekklesia is for REST and LEARNING and not a WORSHIP SERVICE has given Satan the weapon (instrument) to take captive people.

Jesus never commanded, 'Thou shalt not be a hypocrite." However, He identified the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites and in the Ezekiel 33 version the Spirit OF Christ named self-speakers, singers, instrument players and the AUDIENCE who went out to "hear what comes from the word of the Lord." SO, we might rationally INFERENCE that Jesus doesn't want any hypocrites or performers of the hypocritic arts and crafts speaking or performing while HE is visiting to speak when the Elders obey the direct command to "speak that which has been taught."

The CULT of ANTI-CENI or denying that the Ekklesia or School of Christ was the only PATTERN and for education only, are completely focused on using "the law of silence" to IMPOSE rhetorical and musical performers: historic evidence says that their Purpose Driven Goal is to SILENCE the Word of God. The Scribes and Pharisees Jesus called hypocrites, in Ezekiel 33 are named speakers, singers and instrument players. The only way to corrupt the Word meaning "selling learning at retail or adultery" is to use the WORKS of human cunning to write their own songs and sermons.

THE ANCIENTS BEFORE THE POST-LITERATE ERA OF THEOLOGIANS KNEW THE MEANING OF MUSIC

(Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VII, p. 188
"But we have already spoken of spectacles: there remains one thing which is to be overcome by us,
        that we be not captivated by those things which penetrate to the innermost perception. (emotions only)
        For all those things which are unconnected with words, (just speaking in tongues)
        that is, pleasant sounds of the air and of strings,
        may be easily disregarded, because they do not adhere to us, and cannot be written...

1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
        how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

Is God, therefore, the contriver both of the mind, and of the voice, and of the tongues, unable to speak eloquently?
        Yea, rather, with the greatest foresight,
        He wished those things which are divine to be without adornment, [Kosmos or Cosmos]
        that all might understand the things which He Himself spoke to all."

Therefore God made all things to supply a contest between two things.
Those enticements of pleasures, then, are the instruments [carnal weapons, lifeless instruments]
        of that whose only business it is to subdue virtue,
        and to shut out justice from men.
        With these soothing influences and enjoyments it captivates their souls;
        for it knows that pleasure is the contriver of death.

Aristotle: Melody Deceives: "Poets also make use of this in inventing words, as a melody "without strings" or "without the lyre"; for they employ epithets from negations, a course which is approved in proportional metaphors..

The form of diction should be neither metrical nor without rhythm. If it is metrical, it lacks persuasiveness, for it appears artificial, and at the same time it distracts the hearer's attention,

since it sets him on the watch for the recurrence of such and such a cadence..

According to Philo, the gods of the pagans exploit this weakness of men. For the sake of a better effect, and with the intention of more easily cheating their devotes, that they have set their lies to melodies, rhythms and meters.." Click for more.

Philodemus and Poetry: Poetic Theory Google

"Philodemos 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. (Paul called it mad or insane) He found it significant that, on the whole, only women and effeminate men fell into this folly."

Philodemus Epicureans.Poetics p25

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1175b.1

But things that are akin to things of different kinds must themselves differ in kind.
        [3] A still clearer proof may be drawn
        from the hindrance that activities
        receive from the pleasure derived from other activities.

For instance, persons fond of the flute
        cannot give their attention to a philosophical discussion
                [The LOGOS or Regulative Principle]
        when they overhear someone playing the flute,
        because they enjoy music more than the activity in which they are engaged;
            therefore the pleasure afforded by the music of the flute
                impairs the activity of study.

THE COMMAND AND EXAMPLE FOR CONDUCTING EKKLESIA:

1Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance [prosekhe] to [public] reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1Timothy 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee,
        which was given thee by prophecy, [teaching under inspiration]
        with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. [BY Paul's hands]
1Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; [melete not MELOS rehearse]
        give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

prokoptō , make progress, advance by high road “p. tou euaggeliou” Ep.Phil.1.12; “
Music never advances one or SHOWS that one is profiting.

1Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:
        for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1102b.1 But there also appears to be another element in the soul, which, though irrational, yet in a manner participates in rational principle. In self-restrained and unrestrained¹ people we approve their principle, or the rational part of their souls, because it urges them in the right way and exhorts them to the best course; but their nature seems also to contain another element beside that of rational principle, which combats and resists that principle. [16] Exactly the same thing may take place in the soul as occurs with the body in a case of paralysis: when the patient wills to move his limbs to the right

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1102b.20 they swerve to the left; and similarly in unrestrained persons their impulses run counter to their principle. But whereas in the body we see the erratic member, in the case of the soul we do not see it; nevertheless it cannot be doubted that in the soul also there is an element beside that of principle, which opposes and runs counter to principle （though in what sense the two are distinct does not concern us here）. [17] But this second element also seems, as we said, to participate in rational principle; at least in the self-restrained man it obeys the behest of principle—and no doubt in the temperate and brave man it is still more amenable, for all parts of his nature are in harmony with principle. [18]

1 According to the psychology here expounded, the intellect ‘has a plan or principle,’ in the sense of understanding principle, and being able to reason and make a plan: in other words, it is fully rational. The part of man's nature ‘has a plan or principle’ in so far as it is capable of following or obeying a principle.
        It happens that this relationship of following or obeying can itself be expressed by the words ‘
        to have logos’ in another sense of that phrase, viz. ‘to take account of, pay heed to.’
To be precise the writer should say that the part logon ekhei tou logou ‘has logos （takes account） of the logos.’ The phrase has yet a third sense in mathematics, where “to have logos” （ratio） means ‘to be rational’ in the sense of commensurable.

Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets,
        and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
Luke 20:47 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a shew make long prayers [Hymns]:
        the same shall receive greater damnation.

Jesus called them hypocrites and in Ezekiel 33 Christ names speakers, singers and instrument players.

THE WORSHIP OF THE MUSES UNDER ABADDON OR APOLLYON SILENCES THE WORD OF GOD

347c] But if he does not mind, let us talk no more of poems and verses, but consider the points on which I questioned you at first, Protagoras, and on which I should be glad to reach, with your help, a conclusion.

For it seems to me that arguing about poetry is comparable to the wine-parties of common market-folk. These people, owing to their inability to carry on a familiar conversation over their wine by means of their own voices and discussions

[4] The same thing occurs in other cases when a man tries to do two things at once; the pleasanter activity drives out the other, the more so if it is much more pleasant, until the other activity ceases altogether.

Hence, when we enjoy something very much, we can hardly do anything else; and when we find a thing only mildly agreeable, we turn to some other occupation; for instance, people who eat sweets at the theater do so especially when the acting is bad.

[ 5] And since our activities [of the flute] are sharpened, prolonged and improved by their own pleasure, and impaired by the pleasures of other activities, it is clear that pleasures differ widely from each other. In fact alien pleasures have almost the same effect on the activities as their own pains; since, when an activity causes pain, this pain destroys it, for instance, if a person finds writing or doing sums unpleasant and irksome; for he stops writing or doing sums, because the activity is painful.

Aristotle on Politics 8
2. or whether we ought rather to think that music tends in some degree to virtue (music being capable of producing a certain quality of character
        just as gymnastics are capable of producing a certain quality of body,
        music accustoming men to be able to rejoice rightly);
3. or that it contributes something to intellectual entertainment and culture (for this must be set down as a third alternative among those mentioned).
        Now it is not difficult to see that one must not make amusement the object of the education of the young;
        for amusement does not go with learning--learning is a painful process.

Commands, Examples and Necessary Inferences (CENI) became a issue when the Disciples of Christ imposed musical instruments insisting that they needed no authority even when it intended to sow massive discord. The CENI is usually used to justify or not those ACTS (legalism) which will permit the Evangelist to STAY instead of GO and in recorded history to try to rescue a failing idolatry of Buildings and Grounds and Staff.

"Nay, rather, to speak out more truly, the augurs, the dream interpreters, the soothsayers, the prophets, and the priestlings, ever vain, have devised these fables;

for they, fearing that their own arts be brought to nought,
and that they may extort but scanty contributions from the devotees, now few and infrequent,
whenever they have found you to be willing
        that their craft should come into disrepute,
        cry aloud, the Gods are neglected,
        and in the temples there is now a very thin attendance.

For ceremonies are exposed to derision,
        and the time-honoured rites of institutions once sacred
        have sunk before the superstitions of new religions.

And men--a senseless race--being unable, from their inborn blindness, to see even that which is placed in open light,

dare to assert in their frenzy what you in your sane mind do not blush to believes." (Arnobius, Against the Heathen, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VI, p. 418).

People who DENY God's Right to regulate the Assembly PRETEND that "a" spirit guided them into some new ACT almost always imposing the use of musical instruments to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."

Arnobius, Heresies IV May it not happen, may it not come to pass, although you craftily conceal it, that the one should take the other's place, deluding, mocking, deceiving, and presenting the appearance of the deity invoked?

If the magi, who ares o much akin to soothsayers [Levites], relate that, in their incantations, pretended gods steal in frequently instead of those invoked; that some of these, moreover, are spirits of grosser substance, who pretend that they are gods, and delude the ignorant by their lies and deceit,- why should we not similarly believe that here, too, others substitute themselves for those who are not, that they may both strengthen your superstitious beliefs, and rejoice that victims are slain in sacrifice to them under names not their own?

33. Your gods, it is recorded, dine on celestial couches, and in golden chambers, drink,
        and are at last soothed by the music of the lyre, and singing .
        You fit them with ears not easily wearied;
        and do not think it unseemly to assign to the gods
        the pleasures by which earthly bodies are supported,
        and which are sought after by ears enervated by the frivolity of an unmanly spirit.

FIRST, WE NEED TO KNOW THE PURPOSE OF THE EKKLESIA-SYNAGOGUE OF CHRIST:

Moses was told how to divide the tribes down to heads of families as small as ten (Exodus 18).

This was to teach The Book of The Covenant of Grace.

After the fall into musical idolatry at Mount Sinai, God divided the nation into two groups:

He turned the nation over to worship the starry host because they had been sentenced to captivity beyond Babylon: no return

Christ (the Rock) ordained the qahal, synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ beginning in the Wilderness
was INCLUSIVE of REST to quarantine the godly people from the sacrificial system, to Read the Word and Rehearse the Word
This was EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing and any kind of rhetorical speaking.

This PATTERN continued during the time the elders demanded a king like the nations: God knew that they wanted to worship like the nations.

The Synagogue was more organized during the Captivity but remained as A School of The Word only.

See how the Synagogue was commanded and endorsed by Jesus, commanded using the "ekklesia" word, defined and commanded by the apostles and continued for at least 4 centuries before "singing" as an ACT split the churches and preaching was imposed and paid by the state.

John Calvin also defined the origin of the Synagogue.

This was Calvin's Reason for Calling for a Restoration of the Church of Christ

For where can I exert myself to better purpose or more honestly, where, too, in a matter at this time more necessary, than in attempting, according to my ability, to aid the Church of Christ, whose claims it is unlawful in any instance to deny, and which is now in grievous distress, and in extreme danger?

But there is no occasion for a long preface concerning myself. Receive what I say as you would do if it were pronounced by the united voice

of all those who either have already taken care to restore the Church,
or are desirous that it should be restored to true order.

That in these things consists the true and sincere worship which alone God approves, and in which alone He delights, is both taught by the Holy Spirit throughout the Scriptures, and is also, antecedent to discussion, the obvious dictate of piety.

PAUL DEFINED THE ASSEMBLY USING "SYNAGOGUE" WORDS BY EXCLUDING ALL PERFORMANCE

Ephesians 3 The Nature of The Holy Spirit

Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ
for you Gentiles Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward:
Ephesians 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: [The Word]
Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Ephesians 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Ephesians 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.

Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in YOUR hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Is Parallel To

Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
          above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church
      by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

You cannot give Jesus Christ the Glory if you impose performers whom Jesus called HYPOCRITES. Doctors of the law "take away the key to knowledge." Jesus called them hypocrites by pointing to Ezekiel 33 where the Spirit OF Christ names self-speakers for hire, singers and instrument players. Christ uses all of these hypocritic arts and crafts as meaning NOTHING, just nothing at all.

Paul excluded all private opinions in Romans 14 which do not edify or educate. In Romans 15 he defined the ONLY way to glorify Christ: "using one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning."

If you worry about other PATTERNS too much you reject the simple pattern defining the assembly as A School of the Word (Christ in the wilderness) and the Campbells as A School of Christ

THE DENIAL OF GOD'S RIGHT TO DEFINE THE NATURE OF THE ONLY ASSEMBLY WHICH HE CALLS IS WHOLLY BASED ON NOT KNOWING THE PROPHETS AND APOSTLES WHO DEFINED THE CHURCH OF CHRIST BOTH INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY. THE INABILITY TO READ BLACK TEXT ON BROWN PAPER IS DEFINED BY PAUL IN 2 CORINTHIANS 3.

The use of the CENI principle has been used in two ways: Among the Disciples or Christian churches the High Church principle is used which allows people to make changes to make the culture-formed institution survive in a changed culture. when their old ACTS of worship are not enough. Therefore, the Law of Silence permits one to add where God has been silent (or assumed to be silent) and ADD to the institute: afterward one's personal preference becomes the will of Christ. Christ might call it Will Worship. The Greek THEOLOGY demands that you SPEAK the words of the GOD: Scripture such as Isaiah 55 outlaws "speaking your own words on the day of REST."

PREACHERS WHO PLAN TO TAKE AUTHORITY DO NOT GRASP THAT THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST DEFINED HIS FUTURE REST BOTH INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY.

Christ in Spirit defined the future REST both inclusively and exclusively.

Is. 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: (Spirit of Christ 1 Pet 1:11; Rev 19:10)
if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them.

In Isaiah 50 He warned about the musical PLUCKERS

In Isaiah 55 He commanded us NOT to pay for the free water of the Word

http://www.pineycom.com/Isaiah.55.Word.Spirit.html

In Isaiah 57 The Spirit OF Christ defines the Law of Silence including in the assembly.

Isaiah 57 Commands, Examples, Inferences

In Isaiah 58 he outlawed seeking our own pleasure or even SPEAKING OUR OWN WORDS.

http://www.pineycom.com/Isaiah.58.html

Before they heard the direct command against vocal or instrumental rejoicing on the REST day, some of Israel rose up to PLAY in musical idolatry. That was a result of telling Moses that they would no hear the voice of God:

Deuteronomy 18:15 The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee,
         of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deuteronomy 18:16 According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb
        in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God,
        neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Deuteronomy 18:17 And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee,
        and will put my words in his mouth;
        and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass,
         that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

"Prophesying" in the good sense was speaking the actual words of Christ in the prophets who could say 'thus saith the Lord." Preaching is supposed to "speak that which is written for our learning." Anyone who presumes to speak for God blasphemes (Jeremiah 23).

Deuteronomy 18:20 But the prophet,
        which shall presume to speak a word in my name,
        which I have not commanded him to speak,
        or that shall speak in the name of other gods,
        even that prophet shall die.

Paul affirmed that only the Prophets by Christ and made more perfect by Jesus of Nazareth was the resource upon which the church is founded and built up. 2 Peter 1

2 Peter 2 No Prophecy is of Private Interpretation
2 Peter 2 Instrumental Music is Corruption
2 Peter 3. End time Musical Mockers

2Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables,

Come, take the Dorian lyre down from its peg, if the splendor of Pisa and of Pherenicus placed your mind under the influence of sweetest thoughts,

2Peter 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard,

2Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy;
        whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,
        as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
        until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

2Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
        but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
        even as there shall be false teachers among you,
        who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
        even denying the Lord that bought them,
        and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Peter 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways;

2Peter 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:
         whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

Those who mock God's right to CENI give themselves the right to make laws and impose them on other people. However, not even Jesus of Nazareth had that right. Remember that Christ in Spirit inspired the prophets and defined His future rest or assembly both inclusively and exclusively.

Is. 59:15 Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey:
         and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Is. 59:16 And he saw that there was no man,
        and wondered that there was no intercessor:
        therefore his arm brought salvation unto him;
        and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Is. 59:17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate,
        and an helmet of salvation upon his head;
        and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing,
        and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
Is. 59:18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay,
        fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies;
        to the islands he will repay recompence.
Is. 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west,
        and his glory from the rising of the sun.
        When the enemy shall come in like a flood,
        the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Is. 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion,
        and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Is. 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD;
        My spirit that is upon thee,
        and my words which I have put in thy mouth,
        shall not depart out of thy mouth,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed,
        saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Preachers and elders get NONE:

Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Now, I confess that Jesus didn't say "Don't teach Jimmy Joes 'How I acquired spirituality' course.
For those wise enough to know that "no man knows the Father but the Son Who reveals Him" that means that "teach what Jesus COMMANDED to be taught means "what Jesus COMMANDED to be taught." You need a Phd in Phrenology to argue that point.

Christ spoke through the Prophets and Jesus fulfilled those prophecies fully. THAT is the spiritual teaching resource and a DISCIPLE of Christ would never try to whine their own will into a law.

John 12:47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me, he will keep MY WORDS:
and my Father will love him,
        and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

A modern theology which does NOT speak the Words of God attempts to use parts of COMMANDS and EXAMPLES of the "worship of the starry host" to which God ABANDONED israel because they rejected GRACE and turned to musical idolatry of the trinity of "gods." See how this fall from Grace is being promoted as a new VISION which is claimed to be through NEW SPECTACLES.

Christ in Spirit spoke only through the Prophets (2 Cor. 3; 1 Peter 1:11; Revelation 19:10

2 Peter 1 lists the prophecies made more perfect as the SPEAKING material for the church

      Those who do not speak that which is written is called a false teacher like a false prophet

Jesus fullfilled the SPIRIT message and said "My WORDS are SPIRIT and they are life."

Christ in the prophets defines as BLASPHEMY those who speak out of their own imagination.

So, those who deny CENI insist on composing their own songs and sermons worthy of violating the direct command in Isaiah 55 where Christ told us NOT to pay for the free water of the Word.

The Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness was defined inclusively and exclusively.

INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God: What Disciples of Christ do.
EXCLUSIVE of Vocal or Instrumental rejoicing: what discipled do not do when God speaks through His Words.

The Synagogue is defined and never changed: the only reason for calling the Godly non-Levites into assembly was for instructions.
The synagogue continued parallel to the curse of the Sacrificial System: God abandoned the Levi tribe to worship the starry host and those are the "gods" worshipped in all animal sacrifices before and after the Temple. The Military Levite Instrument players were under the king and the commanders of the Army and not worship leaders. Even then, any Levite singer or instrument player who came NEAR any holy thing or INSIDE of any holy house was to be executed.

The Scribes wrote for the cursed Monarchy and we are warned not to believe the "Lying pen of the Scribes" when they heap praise on the Temple. Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites and in the Ezekiel 33 version named slick preachers, singers and instrument players. The Pharisees specificially ignored the Words of God and composed their own songs and sermons as a way to get around the law against them: In Isaiah 55 Christ defined the free water of the Word and in AIsaiah 58 defined the future REST and outlawed seeking our own pleasure or speaking our own words. Scribes and Pharisees still do that.

WE ARE STUCK WITH THE WORD OF GOD OR REST ON OUR OWN IMAGINATION.

The Law of Silence as permissive for ME to impose something on YOU was not something invented on those who come near to cursing those who will not let them impose instruments into what they have always honored, in the Words of the Campbells, as a School of Christ: worship was Reading and Musing the word of God which God insisted on because He is God and we are not.
THE MILITARY LEVITES MAKING INSTRUMENTAL NOISE DURING THE BURNING OF GOATS IS USED TO PROVE THAT GOD COMMANDS INSTRUMENTAL PRAISE FOR US..

In 2 Chronicles 29 people imagine that God commanded the Instruments of the Levites as a plague stopping exorcism by looking back almost 300 years when David made a plague stopping sacrifice is THEIR patternism as a DIRECT COMMAND for them.

However, Hezekiah the King, Civil leaders, warrior Levites and the priest STOOD IN RANKS for the slaughtering of animals for the ATONEMENT of nation, king, priests and NOT commanded Temple. Only afterward, it was HEZEKIAH'S idea to burn some goats for Israel which had long defected in a civil war created by Solomon's building of a Ziggurat or tower of Babel since God had abandoned them to worship the starry host.

We are told that the cursed Monarchy had "the lying pen of the Scribes" to record the Civil-Military-Priestly complex. Christ inspired the prophets--usually murdered by the Monarchy--to REPUDIATE them as robbers and parasites.

1. David Faust insists:
        I . In the Old Testament the Lord didn't merely "permit" the use of musical instruments as aids to worship.
              He commanded their use.
        2. In the old Testament the Lord didn't merely "permit' the use of musical instruments as aids to worship.
                He blessed their use.

2. Christ in the Prophets warned about the lying pen of the Scribes:

Jeremiah 7:4 Trust ye not in lying words, saying,
        The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord,
        The temple of the Lord, are these.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel;
       Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. Jeremiah 7:21

"There will be no other God, O Trypho, nor was there from eternity any other existing" (I thus addressed him), "but He who made and disposed all this universe. Nor do we think that there is one God for us, another for you, but that He alone is God who led your fathers out from Egypt with a strong hand and a high arm. Nor have we trusted in any other (for there is no other), but in Him in whom you also have trusted, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.

But we do not trust through Moses or through the law; for then we would do the same as yourselves. But now -(for I have read that there shall be a final law, and a covenant, the chiefest of all, which it is now incumbent on all men to observe, as many as are seeking after the inheritance of God.

For the law promulgated on Horeb is now old, and belongs to yourselves alone; but this is for all universally. Now, law placed against law has abrogated that which is before it,
       and a covenant which comes after in like manner has put an end to the previous one;
       and an eternal and final law-namely, Christ-has been given to us,
       and the covenant is trustworthy,
       after which there shall be no law, no commandment, no ordinance.

Have you not read this which Isaiah says: "Hearken unto Me, hearken unto Me, my people; and, ye kings, give ear unto Me: for a law shall go forth from Me, and My judgment shall be for a light to the nations. My righteousness approaches swiftly, and My salvation shall go forth, and nations shall trust in Mine arm? '

And by Jeremiah, concerning this same new covenant, He thus speaks: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; not according to the covenant which I made with their fathers, in the day that I took them by the hand, to bring them out of the land of Egypt' ).

Rubel Shelly believes and teaches:

Here is what God wants churches passionate about:

(1) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

(2) that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

(But: The Israelites had to "look upon" the serpent) John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

(3) "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ" (Acts 2:36).

(But: Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.)

(4) "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: (5) While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (6) Since we have now been justified by his blood, (7) how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!" (Rom. 5:8-9).

(But: Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.)

These are the essentials of Christian faith. It is this core message about Jesus that we share

in common with other
Bible-believing, cross-proclaiming, resurrection-confessing, born-again persons
that constitutes us a church.

Outside the essence of the gospel,

there are other features that reflect our history and consensus interpretations of the larger biblical message.

When the kingdom did not come as Christ promised those who wrote the Bible went their own ways. John, for instance, hooked up with a Greek philosopher and borrowed the LOGOS concept and used it to explain Jesus Christ. However, either unknown or ignored is the fact that the LOGOS concept begins where John places it: in Genesis. Too bad that scholars miss the fact that DABAR is the Hebrew word.

Rubel Shelly: They had to strain the story of Jesus through philosophical sieves. They had to create and clarify special terms. They made entrance into their circles a matter of "enlightenment" as reflected in peculiar vocabulary and interpretations.

In the meanwhile, the core gospel has survived two millennia now in its narrative form of telling the big story through collections of little ones about Jesus.

Notice that:

The little stories were strained through the Shelly Sifter of philosophy and the Bible writer's personal agenda: these are not TRUTH as the Gospel is TRUTH.

The Big Story or the CORE GOSPEL has survived through these little stories.

Our conclusion: The CORE is no more reliable than the sum of its parts: why should we trust Rubel Shelly's CORE GOSPEL as the TRUTH?

Dr. Shelly defines the narrative form as writers taking the literature and constructing a narrative for their own time, place, theological agenda and by sifting in Greek philosophy.

If this is the Pattern we are th Behold then it becomes easy to just dismiss specific Biblical commands to follow the commands of God and (wink, wink!) tell the paying audience that they don't exist any longer.

The "Core Gospel" Dr. Rubel Shelly and probably most university educated men majoring in about everything but the Bible consists of these seven facts. For some mysterious reason you can believe that God loved the world but you cannot believe that He was competent to back up the gospel or "good news" with Doctrine which means "the teachings of Jesus." Click for some other Patternism Minus the Bible.

The Bible is to be believed about the "core" gospel but the teachings of Jesus, by the apostles and in church history about baptism can be ignored because it is not the self-defined CORE CREED.

How can I be interested in "knowing" Jesus if I have utter contempt for knowing "about" Jesus? Here is the core without the rest of the apple:

1 Cor 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Paul did not say I determined not to PREACH anything among you. To KNOW Christ means that Paul abandoned his own rights and preaching philosophy and preached the Gospel by his life BECAUSE the people were carnal and most unable to eat the "meat" of the Word as the "perfected."

Well, that certainly leaves out baptism and any instructions about a new form of "singing" which is antithetical to the pagan wineskin singing with instruments. Or does it?

1 Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Paul preached the "core" gospel because that is what you preach until people are willing to die to self and submit. Paul called that the "milk" of the Word. The Corinthians never grasped the "core" and therefore remained carnal:

1 Cor 3:1 AND I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

Therefore, those who claim just the "core" probably have not gotten beyond the core and have crucified themselves with Christ. Therefore, they are carnal and there is no "meat of the Word" in them to preach to you. However, the new "milk" of the word to show contempt for people and leave them in the dark is called: "Chicken Soup for the Soul."

The "core" theology shows that Paul nor Christ speaks to them because they just skipped Paul's statement about TEACHING:

1 Cor 2:1 AND I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring [preaching] unto you the testimony OF God.

AND there s come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Isaiah 11:1
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; Isaiah 11:2

And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: Isaiah 11:3

But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Zechariah 7:11

They made their hearts as hard as flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD Almighty had sent by his Spirit through the earlier prophets. So the LORD Almighty was very angry. Zechariah 7:12
Therefore it is come to pass, that

as he cried, and they would not hear;
so they cried, and I would not hear,
saith the Lord of hosts: Zechariah 7:13

2 Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2 Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2 Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord IS that Spirit: and where the Spirit OF the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1 Pe 1:11

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. Rev 19:10

So, Paul did not say: "I preach only Christ and Him crucified but I preach the whole counsel of God." My "knowing Christ" defines my qualification for a competent preacher: I am willing to be sacrificed.

Churches of Christ do not follow either the Bible or Restoration Movement beliefs by binding "inferences" which are subject to human reasoning.

However, Necessary Inference is a first requirement for grasping God:

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. Psalm 97:6
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead;
so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:20

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;
but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Romans 1:21

Those who cannot infer God from His creation are not likely to listen to His words.

Theophilus of Antioch to Autolycus wrote:

Chapter V.-The Invisible God Perceived Through His Works.
For as the soul in man is not seen, being invisible to men, but is perceived through the motion of the body,
..........so God cannot indeed be seen by human eyes,
..........but is beheld and perceived through His providence and works.
For, in like manner, as any person, when he sees a ship on the sea rigged and in sail, and making for the harbour,

will no doubt infer that there is a pilot in her who is steering her; so we must perceive that God is the governor [pilot] of the whole universe, though He be not visible to the eyes of the flesh, since He is incomprehensible.

For if a man cannot look upon the sun, though it be a very small heavenly body, on account of its exceeding heat and power, how shall not a mortal man be much more unable to face the glory of God, which is unutterable?

Therefore, the whole knowledge about God is revealed in propositional truth or it is inferred from His Works.

However, in meeting on the first day of the Week to "break bread" or to "lay by in store" (even if at home) we have the only examples the Bible gives us. We might use the law of inference to say that God DID NOT say: "Don't take the Lord's Supper anyother day." With this inference from silence in hand we decide to eat the Lord's Supper on, say, the Sabbath (before sunset Saturday).

By this inference which overrides the clear Biblical example and the historical imitation of this practice with no Sabbath worship, we BIND this practice on anyone who chooses to meet with us.

On the contrary, we might say that:

> The in the yearly FESTIVALS for muster age males, both the FIRST DAY and the SEVENTH DAY was for REST and a Holy Convocation. Animal sacrifices were held in between. REST never meant worship so we don't LOOK for rules of worship on the first and seventh day. The REST was to quarantine the people of God from the BABYLONIAN worship which God granted as His answer to their prayer when they engaged in MUSICAL IDOLATRY at Mount Sinai.

The Holy Convocation boiled down to READING the Word of God.

> Jesus died to relieve us from the CLERGY BURDEN which was "spiritual anxiety created by religious ritual." The first day was again for REST and both Jesus and Paul PEELS the clergy off the backs of people. Jesus invited the twos and threes to "come learn of me." Therefore, the Bible and history shows that the HOLY CONVOCATION or assembly (synagoguing) was to GIVE HEED to the Word as Paul's only worship word.

> Therefore, first day assembly does not violate the Sabbath. Church assemblies can be the most "works intensive" day of the week.

Furthermore, "worship" on the Sabbath would violate the Sabbath in the modern sense because we couldn't drive to church and assuredly push stuck autos out of a snowed-in parking lot. Most assuredly the HOLY CONVOCATION outlawed calling priests or prophets or other CEREMONIALLY LEGALISTIC parasites defined as rhetoricians, sOPHISts (serpents), singers and musicians. One exception--if you plan to CRUCIFY and MUSICIALLY MOCK Jesus while He is trying to teach you.

The use of instrumental music is based on silence: "God didn't say, 'Thou shalt not use mechanical instruments'." The inference is that silence is divine authority.

By this inference form silence we overide the clear commandment of Paul who defines one of the "allowable instruments" or the human voice and heart. We bind this inference upon anyone who must meet with us on our terms.

Compare Bill Bright's Four Spiritual Laws. He left out a few also.
1. God loves you

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

2. Man is sinful and separated from God.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom. 3:23); "For the wages of sin is death" (Rom. 6:23);

"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God" (Isaiah 59:2).

3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.

: "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me" (John 14:6); "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom. 5:8)

4. We must individually receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12);

"if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Rom. 10:9);

"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2:8).

The MASK they hide about is patternism or denying that God has the right to command people. However, the FACE behind the mask is that it is NOT a method of interpretation but the fact that they DENY the inspiration of the Bible. That gives them the "spirit" to do what they deny God the power to do.
Leroy Garrett stated an earlier pattern:

"This is to say that the gospel is not the whole of the New Testament scriptures,..........
..........for the gospel was a reality long before the scriptures were written.

Strictly speaking, the teachings of the apostles are not facts, as the gospel is,
but interpretations, implications, and edification based on the gospel.
In this area, that of the didache (teaching) even the apostles differed in their ideas and emphases.
The churches for whom these documents were written were likewise different from each other.

Garrett goes on to define the "gospel" as something revealed but not subject to debate but:

The doctrine allows for debate and dialogue, for intellectual stimulation and the stretching of the mind. It nurtures us in Christ,

but in such a way that each man develops according to his own uniqueness. The pragmatic mind as well as the speculative mind finds food for thought. Its design is (not) to make us all alike in our thinking, but to make us mature in Christ.

So, we have the "oral gospel" which was in effect before the "graphe," and the seven ones defined above are the only things which we can use to accept or reject fellowship.

All of the rest of the Bible is just pre-post-modern understandings of the apostle-prophets opinions or interpretations. That means "uninspired" to this writer.

The Post-Modern "hermeneutic" of the Latter Rain (or Latter Reign) asks:

"Are you having difficulty discerning or receiving this "new revelation"?

Then you have been interpreting your Bible in the "old way,"
comparing Scripture with Scripture, studying diligently to account for every jot and tittle
and being careful to rightly divide the Word of truth.

"If this describes you, then you belong to the "Old Generation"

which will not enter in to "possess the land" in the Latter Rain Revival.
You may even be a member of a denominational church, with its dogmatic confession of faith and statement of doctrine. These legalistic forms will be relics of the past in the up and coming "Post-denominational Church."

Paul Cain advises that you "dump all that carnal stuff" (doctrine)

and listen to what the "spirit" is saying to the churches through the Latter Rain Prophets and Apostles, who are dispensing many "new, sacred truths.

Rubel continues to repudiate the ONLY means of determining authority for faith and practice unless guided by a direct operation of God. However, we will show that the disparaged methods of understanding authority were those taught by the Word of God and by all historical scholars other than the liberties taken by the Catholic church and her daughters.

Rubel Shelly: The truth be told, the Bible's "silence" on a subject is most often ambiguous rather than either prohibitive or concessive. What one is willing to allow or quick to oppose is, I fear, due more to taste and temperament than to any clear application of the following cherished dictum: "Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent."

One doubts that God is ever ambiguous in addition to being prohibitive or concessive. If He doesn't care one way or another He probably is silent.

Rubel Shelly: But hold on! Where did that dictum come from?
It's not a Bible verse. It's a well-worn religious slogan that I think has some very positive value.

All of God's Word is pretty old but unfortunately, based on most sermons, not very worn! Whatever the Incarnate God of the universe says should be important and will be vitally important to those whose light has not been put out:

Why then, when they have invented on their part unscriptural phrases,
for the purposes of irreligion,
do they accuse those who are religious in their use of them

For irreligiousness is utterly forbidden, though it be attempted to disguise it with artful expressions and plausible sophisms; but religiousness is confessed by all to be lawful, even though presented in strange phrases, provided only they are used with a religious view, and a wish to make them the expression of religious thoughts. Now the aforesaid grovelling phrases of Christ's enemies have been shewn in these remarks to be both formerly and now replete with irreligion; whereas the definition of the Council against them, if accurately examined, will be found to be altogether a representation of the truth, and especially if diligent attention be paid to the occasion which gave rise to these expressions, which was reasonable, and was as follows:-
19. The Council wishing to do away with the irreligious phrases of the Arians, and to use instead the acknowledged words of the Scriptures, Athanasius in 346 and his flight in 356, De Decretis or Defence of the Nicene Definition

So, let's put some wear on some of the "slogans" from the voice of the Spirit of Christ (1 Peter 1:11) as HE formulated the slogan which I take as a command.

Balaam demonstrated a high ethical standard when he said:

'Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold,.

I could not do anything of my own accord, good or bad,
to go beyond the command of the LORD--
and I must say only what the LORD says'? Num 24:13

When you let the twangers and sangers take over it is a MARK that you do not know nor care what the Bible says. We could quote the fact that God is God and you are not and that GOD says that He directs our ways and further says that YOU do not have the brain cells to INTERPRET God's Mind.

The "strong delusions" proves that some people CANNOT sit down and let God do the guiding. The SPIRIT'S name is Jesus Christ the Righteous and He HAS SPOKEN in a face-to-face manner to the PROPHETS and APOSTLES: you guys are neither.

Jer. 10:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD:
        therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

Jer. 10:22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come,
        and a great commotion out of the north country,
        to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

Jer. 10:23 O LORD,
         I know that the way of man is not in himself:
         it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Jer. 10:24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.

Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God:
        but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,
        that we may do all the words of this law.

Dan. 2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things:
        he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.

It seems to this reviewer that to demand that we find a command or "paradigm" about how to interpret "commands, examples and inferences" may be legalistic. However, because God is there and He is not silent let's look at some examples in the old "written" Word:

Deuteronomy Slogan

Rubel Shelly, Leroy Garret and Latter Rains insists that there is no command, example or inference about "command, examples or inferences." If we find one then these people are teaching error. Rubel sees the Exodus as a "pattern foor worship and community" but the Bible and all but modern theology sees it as a people rising up to play in musical idolatry, losing the Book of the Covenant and burdened with the Book of the Law. Paul in 2 Corinthians 3 says that the unbelievers were DEAF AND BLIND and so could not listen to God until they turned to Christ.

God promised that in contending for the faith in the time of Jesus:

For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. Deut 18:14

The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; Deut 18:15
According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly,
saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. Deut 18:16

And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. Deut 18:17

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Deut 18:18

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. Deut 18:19

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name,

which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods,
even that prophet shall die. Deut 18:20

Jesus honored the Law of Silence. The term "Son" is defined as the faithful WORDS of the "Father." Jesus identified a son of the Devil as a liar because "he speaks on his own."

For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. Jn.12:49

And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. Jn.12:50

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:63

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;

for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Jn.15:15

If the revelation of Jesus even to the prophets (1 Pet 1:11; Rev 19:10) is not AN APPROVED EXAMPLE to speak only what has been revealed then a different Jesus is being spoken. Jesus identified the Devil as a SON of his father because "he speaks on his own."

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Matt 12

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. Matt 13

Therefore, if Christ is not speaking to you through His Words it is because you have declared yourself a mortal enemy to the quiet Spiritual truth: that is the MARK or supernatural sign seen in pompous self-speak.

Lucky we don't stone prophets anymore because those who pretend to be doctors of the law and claim to speak with authority and deliberately or ignorantly misteach, are presumptious prophets and perhaps have already died spiritually.

So, if commands, examples and inferences (how else would God teach?) are not good enough for the NEW prophet they were still good enough for Jesus!

Paul insisted that the "elders teach the Word as it had been delivered to them." Therefore, there was no command, example or inference that one could be hired to refuse to listen to the Word and spend all week composing (or stealing) a sermon outline which just thides the truth.

First Samuel Slogan

Those wanting to get on the Fried Chicken Trail with nothing to offer but the "core" would just not go away in the mind of God because:

I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind (Spirit). I will firmly establish his house, and he will minister before my anointed one always. 1 Samuel 2:35

Then everyone left in your family line will come and bow down before him for a piece of silver and a crust of bread and plead, "Appoint me to some priestly office so I can have food to eat. 1 Samuel 2:36

> The people did not obey Moses who spoke the Book of the Covenant to the people. They took the oath but as soon as Moses went back to get the written "seventy rules or enabling legislation" the people fell back into musical idolatry. The Covenant was a covenant of grace.

> As a result, God gave The Book of the Law whose 413 precepts "were not good because they could not be perfectly kept." One who is going to live under the Law of Moses had better be prepared, according to James, "not to even show partiality" or the whole weight of the law will fall on their head. The Law was a book of legalism.

> The Book of the Law of Moses which contained laws "in addition" to the Covenant of life was to regulate lawless people and not to save them. The ordinances were for external and not internal purposes.

> Therefore, when the New Prophet came, He fulfilled but did not enforce the Law of Moses but had men like Paul leapfrog the Law and return to the Covenant of Abraham.

> Therefore, the prophet like Moses had something radically new to teach.

The "family" name is not "God" but Jesus, Joshua or Jehovah Saves. The word "Christ" or the anointed one is also applied to Him and the church being Christ's church has been known down through history as the church of Christ. Jesus is Greek rather than Hebrew.

Isaiah Eight Slogan

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits (Old, empty wineskins), and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter (these people used musical devices and said that the gods lived inside of them): should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? Isaiah 8:19

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word,
it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20

At baptism a taught believer asks God for a new conscience or consciousness: the ability to be a co-percepter with Christ and be able to comprehend His Word and See His Light. If one does not return to the "word as it has been taught" then they are just making up their own scripture.

Wouldn't this mean: "Speak where the Word speaks and (implied) be silent where the Word is silent?" Sounds good to me. Perhaps God was just judgmental.

The "law" against speaking where God has not spoken is restated many times and is twofold:

First, the Word of God is inspired by the Spirit of Christ. If you speak where God has been silent then you put yourself above God, you speak of yourself, and Jesus defines such a one as a devil.

Second, if you don't let the Word lie where God placed it and permit latter-day prophets to "fill in the blanks" which "God overlooked" you open up the floodgate for all of the Satans to speak of their father.

The peepers and mutterers used the familiar spirit. This was an old, empty wineskin or, in Paul's day, the more sophisticated sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. By speaking into the echoing wineskin the witch disguised her own voice and sold it to the public for a price. Isn't most performance singing with mics and amps just disguising their voices so that the peeps and mutters overpowers the "audience?"

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Is.58:13

1. I could call forth a cloud of witnesses from the Old and New Testaments to prove the authority, and sufficiency of the Scripture Hierarchy, but a few will be sufficient.

2. Thus saith the Lord by the pen of Moses, in the 18th of Deuteronomy: "The Lord shall raise up a prophet (Christ), him shall ye hear in all things."

3. The word of the Lord came unto the prophet Isaiah: "To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is not light in them. Chap. 8:20.

4. The law and testimony must include the doctrines and government of Christ's Church.

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits (Old, empty wineskins), and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter (these people used musical devices and said that the gods lived inside of them):
should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? Isaiah 8:19

"In Isa 8:19 the 'obhoth and yidh'onim are spoken of those who 'chirp and mutter." These terms refer to the necromancers themselves who practiced ventriloquism in connection with their magical rites. In Isa 29:4 it is said 'Thy voice shall be as an 'obh, out of the ground.'... They are stamped in these passages, as in the Witch of Endor narrative, as deceivers practising a fraudulent art. By implication their power to evoke spirits with whom they were in familiar intercourse is denied." (Int Std Bible Ency., ency, p. 690)

5. I will now call for the testimony of Daniel, 9:9,-10: "Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord, to walk in his laws, set before us by the prophets."

Dan 9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
Dan 9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing,

that they might not obey thy voice;
therefore the curse is poured upon us,
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God,
because we have sinned against him.

Dan 9:12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us,
        by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

The Spirit OF Christ speaks spiritual truth through the prophets most of whom radically condemn the sacrificial system and identify speakers, singers and musicians as hypocrites. Jesus pointed to these prophets accusing the Scribes and Pharisees with being hypocrites--speakers, singers and musicians working for a wage.

6. Isaiah 2:3. " For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord From Jerusalem." Compare 8:16. "Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples." See 11:12

Isa 2:3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Isa 2:6 Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.

Anan (h6049) aw-nan'; a prim. root; to cover; used only as denom. from 6051, to cloud over; fig. to act covertly, i. e. practise magic: - * bring, enchanter, Meonemin, observe (-r of) times, soothsayer, sorcerer.

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, De.18:10

Soothsayers: Anan (h6049) aw-nan'; a prim. root; to cover; used only as denom. from 6051, to cloud over; fig. to act covertly, i. e. practise magic: - * bring, enchanter, Meonemin, observer of times, soothsayer, sorcerer.

"In an inscription from Cyprus, in one from Rhodes and in several from around the district of Carthage, there are references to important personages who bear the title Mqm'lm which we can translate as AROUSERS of the god.'" (de Vaux, Roland, The Bible and the Ancient Near East, Doubleday, p. 247).

"We even have a mention at a later date of a similar custom in connection with the cult in Jerusalem, where certain Levites, called me'oreim, 'AROUSERS,' sang (every morning?) this verse from "Ps 44:23: "Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever." The Talmud tells us that John Hyrcanus suppressed the practice because it recalled too readily a pagan custom." (Roland de Vaux, p. 247).
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God. Rev 19:9
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. Rev 19:10

Proskuneo (g4352) pros-koo-neh'-o; from 4314 and a prob. der. of 2965 (mean. to kiss, like a dog licking his master's hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (lit. or fig.) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): - worship.

Those who are flaunting their body and talent are assuredly not involved in the worship of God but of their own human talent.

7. Jerusalem was the place where the pure Gospel Church was established; from whence the doctrine and discipline went out into all the world.

8. Matthew 28:90. "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded." "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me." 2 Thes. 3:6. "Now we command you brethren, in the name of our Lord," etc.

9. Chapter 33:14. [sic!] "If any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him."

10. The foundation of the true Church is found in Eph. 2:20. The apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ the corner stone. Compare Isaiah 9:7.

11. That Christ is the only head of the Church, can be plainly proved by Scripture and reason, Isaiah 9:6: "The government shall be upon his shoulder."

12. Ephesians 4:15. Grow up into him in all things which is the head, etc.; and Col. 1:18. And he is the head of the body, the Church. Compare Ephesians 5: Christ the head of the Church as the husband is the head of the wife.

13. Shall the Church have two heads, or the woman two husbands? Who will not fear to set himself head with the Lord?

14. That Jesus is the only law-giver, is evident from what hath been said, and what I will add. James, the apostle, saith: "Be ye doers of the word. Fulfill the royal law." Look into the perfect law of liberty. "We have one law-giver."

15. Let Paul speak: "Do we make void the law through faith? No, we establish the law." "We are under the law of Christ." What more do we wish?

Isaiah 29 Slogan

To the Preachers:

And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: Isaiah 29:11

(Isn't that what the critics have said: God Incarnate taught the oral gospel but all of the written documents are law codes based upon the mininterpretation of apostles in conflict?)

To the elders:

And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. Isaiah 29:12

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me,
and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Isaiah 29:13 (to the tune of a hickory stick or an oxgoad)

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder:
> for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
> and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Isaiah 29:14

Paul lined up ALL religious operatives as pagan or Jewish religionism which Jesus came to put down: salvation according to Peter includes being saved FROM this crooked generation. See more comments on First Corinthians where Paul always establishes the paganism which is destroyed.

For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Cor 1:19

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?1Co.1:20

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God
by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Cor 1:21

The law of common sense and silence says that God did not send out THEATRICAL PERFORMERS to save those who were pleased. God preaches only when the evangelist takes the gospel out as a herald.

Jesus said that people's worship is vain or empty if they "teach for doctrine the commands of men." Now, doesn't that demand that we listen to the commands of Jesus and those whom He as Spirit inspired? Is vain worship contrary to the Gospel (good news?). For this reason, Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables to hide the truth from those who did not love the truth.

These people who preach a "core" gospel and ridicule the three forms God used to communicate His will (commands, examples, inferences) are talking behind God's back and talking against Him. And, lo, God explaines them by the example of the spiritual prostitute. Be aware that the Prophets were not legalists but they opposed the Priests who largely ignored the commands of God which were given for their own protection and never for their spiritual salvation:

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

(The Lord, to them, was one of themselves pretending to be a prophet)
And they come unto thee as the people cometh,

and they sit before thee as my people,

        and they hear thy words, but they will not do them:
        for with their mouth they shew much love,

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

And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song (amourous love song)

        of one that hath a pleasant voice,

        and can play well on an instrument:

                for they hear thy words, but they do them not. Ezekiel 33:32

See the parallelism? listen to words but don't do them because they aren't part of the "core." This parallels listeing to mouth religion exuding "loovveee."
> The mouth worship is parallel to playing a musical instrument.
> The search for money or attendance is parallel to hearing the words but not doing them.

Surely the removal of doctrine, speaking against God by claiming that the squabbling apostles were involved in their own interpretation and forming waring churches, the introduction of female musicians and singers clearly connected to temple-building and reputation-building is God at work:

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. Isaiah 29:14

Isaiah 58 Slogan

If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him,

not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own
pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isaiah 58:13

Jeremiah Slogan

Jesus fired the "doctors of the law" and sent simple people out into the world with the Gospel. He knew that the doctors would be too concerned with "hermeneutics" and would just take away the key to knowledge. To keep the people from catching on, the doctors of the law concocted "bread and circus" type rituals and even turned the Feast of Tabernacles into a talent fair for book sellers, poets, musicians, and preachers. The "burden" of the clergy laded on the backs of the people was "spiritual anxiety created by religious ceremony." This sermon being reviewed says nothing about the "core gospel" but seeks to lade the people down with hatred of anyone who would question the use of instruments as the most powerful "burden" creator. But God is listen.

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Jeremiah 23: 25
How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Jeremiah 23: 26
Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. Jeremiah 23: 27

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream;

and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully.

What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23: 28

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23: 29

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Jeremiah 23: 30 (giant Jubilee festivals?)

Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Jeremiah 23: 31

Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23: 32

Jeremiah then prophesies about the burdens which the clergy will try to lade upon people.

Massa (h4853) mas-saw'; from 5375; a burden; spec. tribute, or (abstr.) porterage; fig. an utterance, chiefly a doom, espec. singing; mental, desire: - burden, carry away, prophecy, they set, song, tribute.

Nasa (h5375) naw-saw' to lift, burn, carry away, cast, contain, desire, ease, exact, exalt (self), extol, lade, lay, lift self up,

David's "praise" was similar:

Halal (h1984) haw-lal'; a prim. root; to be clear (orig. of sound, but usually of color); to shine; hence to make a show, to boast; and thus to be (clamorously) foolish; to rave; causat. to celebrate; also to stultify: - (make) boast (self), celebrate, commend, (deal, make), fool (- ish, -ly), glory, give [light], be (make, feign self) mad, give in marriage, [sing, be worthy of] praise, rage, renowned, shine.

The king of Tyre who came equipped with musical instruments burdened people often by the use of the King who is identified as a prostitute as Lucifer (light, shine) was gender-confused:

THE burden (song) of Tyre. Howl (unnatural tone), ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. Is.23:1

At that time Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years, the span of a king's life. But at the end of these seventy years, it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the prostitute: Is.23:15

The "song of the prostitute" is:

"Take up a harp, walk through the city, O prostitute forgotten; play the harp well, sing many a song, so that you will be remembered." Is.23:16

Jeremiah continues to prophesy of those just laying burdens on people by deliberately dividing them from their non-instrumental families:

Look again and hear Ezekiel's parallel and see that the burden was the musical prostitutes:

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls (just broke them down) and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, (grand meetings) every one to his brother,

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

And they come unto thee as the people cometh,

and they sit before thee as my people,

and they hear thy words,

but they will not do them:

for with their mouth they shew much love,

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

And, lo, thou art unto them

as a very lovely song (amourous love song)

of one that hath a pleasant voice,

and can play well on an instrument:

for they hear thy words,

but they do them not. Ezekiel 33:32

Now, look at Jeremiah speaking of the same "seekers" who will no longer be tolerated:

And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt then say unto them,

What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the Lord. Jeremiah 23: 33

And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say,

The burden (song) of the Lord,

I will even punish that man and his house. Jeremiah 23: 34

Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour,

and every one to his brother,

What hath the Lord answered? and,

What hath the Lord spoken? Jeremiah 23: 35

And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more;

for every mans word shall be his burden (song):
for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God. Jeremiah 23:36

A burden is:

Massa (h4853) mas-saw'; from 5375; a burden; spec. tribute, or (abstr.) porterage; fig. an utterance, chiefly a doom, espec. singing; mental, desire: - burden, carry away, prophecy, * they set, song, tribute.

Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters, Eze.24:25

THE burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Zech 12:1

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. Zech 12:2

And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Zech 12:3

Ro.15:1 WE then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to PLEASE ourselves.

Aresko (g700) ar-es'-ko; prob. from 142 (through the idea of exciting emotion); to be agreeable (or by impl. to seek to be so): - please.
Areskô I. of pers. only, make good, make amends, spondas theois aresasthai make full drink-offerings to the gods, please, satisfy, be Lord and Master.

IV. areskei is used impers. to express the opinion or resolution of a public body, also of prevailing opinions; ta areskonta the dogmas of philosophers

please, satisfy, despozô 2. c. gen., to be lord or master of, h.Cer.365, Hdt.3.142 as law-term, to be the legal proprietor,

Nasa (h5347) accept, advance, arise, (able to, [armour], suffer to) bear (-er, up), bring (forth), burn, carry (away), cast, contain, desire, ease, exact, exalt (self), extol... utterly, wear, yield

Airo (h142) ah'ee-ro; a prim. verb; to lift; by impl. to take up or away; fig. to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); spec. to sail away (i.e. weigh anchor); by Heb. [comp. 5375] to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up).

The burden in Greek includes:

Phortizo (g5412) for-tid'-zo; to load up (as a vessel or animal), figurative: to overburden with ceremony or spiritual anxiety: - lade, be heavy laden. (Lots of "invoices")

Phoros (g5411) for'-os; from 5342; a load (as borne,) i.e. (fig.) a tax (prop. an individ. assessment on persons or property; whereas 5056 is usually a gen. toll on goods or travel): - tribute.

Epôidos , on, epaidô
A. singing to or over, using songs or charms to heal wounds, epôidoi muthoi Pl.Lg.903b .
b. Subst., enchanter, e. kai goês E.Hipp. 1038 (but goês e. Ba.234): c. gen., a charm for or against,
c. c. dat., assisting, profitable,
2. Pass., sung to music, phônai Plu.2.622d ; fit for singing, poiêtikên e. parechein S.E.M.6.16 .
2. epôidos, ho, verse or passage returning at intervals, in Alcaics and Sapphics, D.H.Comp.19 ; chorus, burden,

We believe that this shows that the false prophets, were replacing the Words of God with musical performance right out of the "places." The comparison shows that music and perverting the Word are the same thing because they appeal to people who just don't care what God says beyond His little, allowable core.

The Christian result was that the wineskin performers were not allowed but were replaced by non-performers speaking the Words of Christ one to another.

To deny that God Incarnate has any words beyond those spoken to the first people as the "gospel" is to pervert the words of the living God: Jesus is still living and is the Spirit in His Word.

In habbakuk 2:19-20 the people tried to get their idols (often musical devices) to speak to them. However, the prophet said: "But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him." You see, that passage and 1 Corinthians 14 includes women as well as men who are not inspired! See more below about the harp from which the people of Ur got their message from the gods.

This is why Jesus fired the clergy who are still fully occupied in laying burdens on people -- such as mentally conditioning them to see the non-use of instruments in worship and trying to warn people as guilty of every word one can possibly garner in one Phd quest.

The honest evangelist will be faithful to the Word.

The Hebrews Slogan

THEREFORE we ought to give the more earnest heed (honor or worship) to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip. Hebrews 2:1

For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; Hebrews 2:2

How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; Hebrews 2:3

God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will (pattern)? Hebrews 2:4

The Peter Slogan

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 2 Peter 1:18

And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Peter 1:20

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21

As Jesus fired the "doctors of the Law" for taking away the key to knowledge, Peter warned preachers or "mediators" for all times that they have no right to explicate or applicate the inspired Words of the Spirit of Christ (1 Pet 1:11) without endangering their own souls and the souls   of the church for which Christ died. Private interpretation is really contemporary preaching:

Epilusis (g1955)ep-il'-oo-sis; from 1956; explanation, i.e. application: - interpretation.

Epiluo (g1956) ep-ee-loo'-o; from 1909 and 3089; to solve further, i.e. (fig.) to explain, decide: - determine, expound.

That means that no book writer, preacher or presumed prophet can add one bit to the free Word (Isaiah 55:1f). How then is the Word to be used. Well remember the context:

So, we have commands, examples and inferences from God and we have anyone who would assign it to just the interpretation of waring apostles is in trouble.

The Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians: also called Ignatius Theophoros (Greek: "God Bearer") bishop of Antioch, Syria, born in Syria, around the year 50; died at Rome between 98 and 117. Ignatius introduced the practice of alternating sections of the church chanting the Word. Ignatius d. c 110

Chapter IX.-Ye Have Given No Heed to False Teachers.

Nevertheless, I have heard of some who have passed on from this to you, having false doctrine, whom ye did not suffer to sow among you, but stopped your ears, that ye might not receive those things which were sown by them, as being stones 58 of the temple of the Father, prepared for the building of God the Father, and drawn up on high by the instrument of Jesus Christ, which is the cross, 59 making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, while your faith was the means by which you ascended, and your love the way which led up to God.

Ye, therefore, as well as all your fellow-travellers, are God-bearers, temple-bearers, Christ-bearers, bearers of holiness, adorned in all respects with the commandments of Jesus Christ, in whom also I exult that I have been thought worthy, by means of this Epistle, to converse and rejoice with you, because with respect to your Christian life ye love nothing but God only.

Nevertheless, I have heard of some who have passed in among you, holding the wicked doctrine of the strange and evil spirit; to whom ye did not allow entrance to sow their tares, but stopped your ears that ye might not receive that error which was proclaimed by them,

as being persuaded that that spirit which deceives the people does not speak the things of Christ,
        but his own, for he is a lying spirit.
        Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.
        He was a murderer from the beginning,
        and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own:
        for he is a liar, and the father of it. Jn. 8:44

Now, Jesus did not say THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UP THY SONGS AND SERMONS: He just said "for he is a liar and the father of it." Now that sounds pretty LOUD to me.

NOW DON'T WE WONDER WHY PEOPLE GIVE THEMSELVES THE RIGHT THAT NEITHER CHRIST NOR HIS SPIRIT HAD A RIGHT TO?
But the Holy Spirit does not speak His own things, but those of Christ, and that not from himself, but from the Lord; even as the Lord also announced to us the things that He received from the Father.

For, says He, "the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's, who sent Me.
And says He of the Holy Spirit, "He shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever things He shall hear from Me."

And He says of Himself to the Father, "I have," says He, "glorified Thee upon the earth; I have finished the work which, Thou gavest Me; I have manifested Thy name to men." And of the Holy Ghost, "He shall glorify Me, for He receives of Mine."

But the spirit of deceit preaches himself, and speaks his own things, for he seeks to please himself. He glorifies himself, for he is full of arrogance.

He is lying, fraudulent, soothing, flattering, treacherous, rhapsodical, trifling, inharmonious, verbose, sordid, and timorous.

From his power Jesus Christ will deliver you, who has founded you upon the rock, as being chosen stones, well fitted for the divine edifice of the Father, and who are raised up on high by Christ, who was crucified for you, making use of the Holy Spirit as a rope, and being borne up by faith, while exalted by love from earth to heaven, walking in company with those that are undefiled.

For, says [the Scripture], "Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord." Now the way is unerring, namely, Jesus Christ. For, says He, "I am the way and the life." And this way leads to the Father.

For "no man," says He, "cometh to the Father but by Me." Blessed, then, are ye who are God-bearers, spirit-bearers, temple-bearers, bearers of holiness, adorned in all respects with the commandments of Jesus Christ, being "a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people," on whose account I rejoice exceedingly, and have had the privilege, by this Epistle, of conversing with "the saints which are at Ephesus, the faithful in Christ Jesus." I rejoice, therefore, over you, that ye do not give heed to vanity, and love nothing according to the flesh, but according to God.

Chapter XV.-Exhortation to Confess Christ by Silence as Well as Speech.

It is better for a man to be silent and be [a Christian], than to talk and not to be one. It is good to teach, if he who speaks also acts.

There is then one Teacher, who spake and it was done; while even those things which He did in silence are worthy of the Father. He who possesses the word of Jesus, is truly able to hear even His very silence, that he may be perfect, and may both act as he speaks, and be recognised by his silence.

There is nothing which is hid from God, but our very secrets are near to Him.

Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples, and He may be in us as our God, which indeed He is, and will manifest Himself before our faces. Wherefore we justly love Him.

It is better for a man to be silent and be [a Christian], than to talk and not to be one. "The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." Men "believe with the heart, and confess with the mouth," the one "unto righteousness," the other "unto salvation." It is good to teach, if he who speaks also acts. For he who shall both "do and teach, the same shall be great in the kingdom." Our Lord and God, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, first did and then taught, as Luke testifies, "whose praise is in the Gospel through all the Churches." There is nothing which is hid from the Lord, but our very secrets are near to Him. Let us therefore do all things as those who have Him dwelling in us, that we may be His temples, and He may be in us as God.

Let Christ speak in us, even as He did in Paul.
Let the Holy Spirit teach us to speak the things of Christ in like manner as He did.

Arnobius Heresies Book One.

27. This is not the place to examine all our traducers, who they are, or whence they are, what is their power, what their knowledge, why they tremble at the mention of Christ, why they regard his disciples as enemies and as hateful persons; but with regard to ourselves to state expressly to those who will exercise common reason, in terms applicable to all of us alike,-We Christians are nothing else than worshippers of the Supreme King and Head, under our Master, Christ.

If you examine carefully, you will find that nothing else is implied in that religion. This is the sum of all that we do; this is the proposed end and limit of sacred duties.

Before Him we all prostrate ourselves, according to our custom ; Him we adore in joint prayers ; from Him we beg things just and honourable, and worthy of His ear.

Not that He needs our supplications, or loves to see the homage of so many thousands laid at His feet.

This is our benefit, and has a regard to our advantage. For since we are prone to err, and to yield to various lusts and appetites through the fault of our innate weakness,
He allows Himself at all times to be comprehended in our thoughts, that whilst we entreat Him and strive to merit His bounties,we may receive a desire for purity, and may free ourselves from every stain by the removal of all our shortcomings. 31. O greatest, O Supreme Creator of things invisible! O Thou who art Thyself unseen, and who art incomprehensible! Thou art worthy, Thou art verily worthy-if only mortal tongue may speak of Thee-that all breathing and intelligent nature should never cease to feel and to return thanks;that it should throughout the whole of life fall on bended knee, and offer supplication with never-ceasing prayers. For Thou art the first cause; in Thee created things exist, and Thou art the space in which rest the foundations of all things, whatever they be. Thou art illimitable, unbegotten, immortal, enduring for aye,

God Thyself alone, whom no bodily shape may represent, no outline delineate; of virtues inexpressible, of greatness indefinable; unrestricted as to locality, movement, and condition, concerning whom nothing can be clearly expressed by the significance of man's words.
That Thou mayest be understood,
we must be silent ;
and that erring conjecture may track Thee through the shady cloud,
no word must be uttered.

Arnobius Heresies Book One.[

And therefore Christ the divine,-although you are unwilling to allow it,-Christ the divine, I repeat, for this must be said often, that the ears of unbelievers may burst and be rent asunder,

speaking in the form of man by command of the Supreme God, because He knew that men are naturally [that the nature of man is] blind, and cannot grasp the truth at all, or regard as sure and certain what they might have persuaded themselves as to things set before their eyes, and do not hesitate, for the sake of their conjectures,

to raise and bring up questions that cause much strife,-bade us abandon and disregard all these things of which you speak, and not waste our thoughts upon things which have been removed far from our knowledge,

but, as much as possible, seek the Lord of the universe with the whole mind and spirit; be raised above these subjects, and give over to Him our hearts, as yet hesitating whither to turn; [transfer to Him the undecided conversions of the breast] be ever mindful of Him; and although no imagination can set Him forth as He is, [He can be formed by no imagination] yet form some faint conception of Him.

For Christ said that, of all who are comprehended in the vague notion of what is sacred and divine, 424 He alone is beyond the reach of doubt, alone true, and one about whom only a raving and reckless madman can be in doubt; to know whom is enough, although you have learned nothing besides; and if by knowledge you have indeed been related to[ [and being fixed on] God, the head of the world, you have gained the true and most important knowledge.

424 Lit., "which the obscurity of sacred divinity contains;" which Orelli interprets, "the most exalted being holds concealed from mortals."

Deut. 29:29 The secret things belong unto Jehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Chapter XXXII.-The Doctrine of the Christians, is Opposed to Dissensions, and Fitted for All.

But with us there is no desire of vainglory, nor do we indulge in a variety of opinions.

For having renounced the popular and earthly,
and obeying the commands of God,
and following the law of the Father of immortality,
we reject everything which rests upon human opinion.

Not only do the rich among us pursue our philosophy,

but the poor enjoy instruction gratuitously,

( [Compare cap. xi. p. 69. And note, thus early, the Christian freeschools, such as Julian closed and then imitated, confessing their power.])

for the things which come from God surpass the requital of worldly gifts.

Thus we admit all who desire to hear, even old women and striplings; and, in short, persons of every age are treated by us with respect, but every kind of licentiousness is kept at a distance.

And in speaking we do not utter falsehood. It would be an excellent thing if your continuance in unbelief should receive a check;
but, however that may be, let our cause remain confirmed by the judgment pronounced by God.

Laugh, if you please; but you will have to weep hereafter. Is it not absurd that Nestor, who was slow at cutting his horses' reins owing to his weak and sluggish old age, is, according to you, to be admired for attempting to rival the young men in fighting, while you deride those among us who struggle against old age and occupy themselves with the things pertaining to God?

Who would not laugh when you tell us that the Amazons, and Semiramis, and certain other warlike women existed, while you cast reproaches on our maidens? Achilles was a youth, yet is believed to have been very magnanimous; and Neoptolemus was younger, but strong; Philoctetes was weak, but the divinity had need of him against Troy. What sort of man was Thersites? yet he held a command in the army, and, if he had not through doltishness had such an unbridled tongue, he would not have been reproached for being peak-headed and bald.

As for those who wish to learn our philosophy, we do not test them by their looks,
nor do we judge of those who come to us by their outward appearance; for we argue that there may be strength of mind in all, though they may be weak in body.

But your proceedings are full of envy and abundant stupidity.

Clement Pedegogue 1: Vol III Commands, Examples and Inferences Chapter 3

But what is loveable, and is not also loved by Him? And man has been proved to be loveable; consequently man is loved by God. For how shall he not be loved for whose sake the only-begotten Son is sent from the Father's bosom, the Word of faith, the faith which is superabundant; the Lord Himself distinctly confessing and saying, "For the Father Himself loveth you, because ye have loved Me; " and again, "And hast loved them as Thou hast loved Me? "

What, then, the Master desires and declares, and how He is disposed in deed and word,
how He commands what is to be done, and forbids the opposite, has already been shown.

Plainly, then, the other kind of discourse, the didactic, is powerful and spiritual, observing precision, occupied in the contemplation of mysteries.
But let it stand over for the present.
Now, it is incumbent on us to return His love, who lovingly guides us to that life which is best;
and to live in accordance with the injunctions of His will, not only fulfilling what is commanded,
or guarding against what is forbidden,
but turning away from some examples, and imitating others as much as we can, and thus to perform the works of the Master according to His similitude,

and so fulfil what Scripture says as to our being made in His image and likeness.

For, wandering in life as in deep darkness, we need a guide that cannot stumble or stray; and our guide is the best, not blind, as the Scripture says, "leading the blind into pits."

But the Word is keen-sighted, and scans the recesses of the heart. As, then, that is not light which enlightens not, nor motion that moves not, nor loving which loves not, so neither is that good which profits not, nor guides to salvation.

Let us then aim at the fulfilment of the commandments by the works of the Lord; for the Word Himself also, having openly become flesh, exhibited the same virtue, both practical and contemplative.

Wherefore let us regard the Word as law, and His commands and counsels as the short and straight paths to immortality; for His precepts are full of persuasion, not of fear.

And there are three departments of counsel:

That which takes examples from past times;

as what the Hebrews suffered when they worshipped the golden calf, and what they suffered when they committed fornication, and the like.

The second, whose meaning is understood from the present times, as being apprehended by perception;

as it was said to those who asked the Lord, "If He was the Christ, or shall we wait for another? Go and tell John, the blind receive their sight, the deaf hear, the lepers are cle [Matt. xi. 3-6; Luke vii. 19, 22, 23.]
Such was that which David aid when he prophesied, "As we have heard, so have we seen." [Ps. xlviii. 8.]

And the third department of counsel consists of what is future,

by which we are bidden guard against what is to happen; as also that was said, "They that fall into sins shall be cast into outer darkness, where there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth," [Matt. xxii. 13, xxv. 30.] and the like. So that from these things it is clear that the Lord, going the round of all the methods of curative treatment, calls humanity to salvation.

Tertullian of Carthage (Quintus Septimius Florens Terullianus, b. 155 - 160 Carthage - d. 220? AD)
He specificially uses exclusion or necessary inference to repudiate music.

"Fortified by this knowledge against heathen views, let us rather turn to the unworthy reasonings of our own people; for the faith of some, either too simple or too scrupulous,

demands direct authority from Scripture for giving up the shows,
and holds out that the matter is a doubtful one, because such abstinence is not clearly and in words imposed upon God's servants.

"Well, we never find it expressed with the same precision,

"Thou shalt not enter circus or theatre, thou shalt not look on combat or show; "
as it is plainly laid down, "Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not worship an idol; thou shalt not commit adultery or fraud." Ex. xx. 14.

"But we find that that first word of David bears on this very sort of thing: "Blessed," he says, "is the man who has not gone into the assembly of the impious, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of scorners." Ps. i. 1.

Though he seems to have predicted beforehand of that just man, that he took no part in the meetings and deliberations of the Jews, taking counsel about the slaying of our Lord,

yet divine Scripture has ever far-reaching applications:

after the immediate sense has been exhausted, in all directions it fortifies the practice of the religious life, so that here also you have an utterance which is not far from a plain interdicting of the shows. Tertullian, De Spectaculis

"Tertullian, with his characteristic energy, takes up the same argument in his famous work "On Prescription Against Heretics". His general process of reasoning runs thus: Christ chose twelve Apostles to whom he communicated His doctrine. The Apostles preached this doctrine to the churches they founded, and thence the same doctrine came to the more recent churches. Neither did the Apostles corrupt Christ's doctrine, nor have the Apostolic Churches corrupted the preaching of the Apostles. Heresy is always posterior, and, therefore, erroneous.

"We have to show," he says (c. xxi), "whether our doctrine . . . is derived from Apostolic teaching, and whether, therefore, other doctrines have their origin in a lie.

We are in communion with the Apostolic Churches, because we have the same doctrine; that is the testimony of the truth (Communicamus cum Ecclesiis apostolicis, quod nulla doctrina diversa; hoc est testimonium veritatis).

In Tertullian's writings against Marcion (IV, v) we find an application of this apologetic argument. Having developed the historical argument founded on the preservation, as a matter of fact, of the Apostolic doctrine in the chief Apostolic Churches, we must add that, besides it, such writers as Irenaeus and others used often also a dogmatic argument founded on the necessary preservation of Christian truth in the whole Church and in the Roman Church in particular. The two arguments are to be carefully distinguished. Apostolic Churches

Those who OPPOSE THE WORD but still ride on the backs of working people and widows have NO RESPONSE but their own SELF-REFERENCE. Or, as the ultimate emotional violence, they think that he will stop if they CLAIM that the Holy Spirit (Jesus) tells them that PAUL WAS A LIAR and He has given "them" an AUDIBLE replacement for the OLDEN Bible. But, the HOLY SPIRIT was unable to preserve and test EACH DOCTRINE by the CONTEMPORARY CULTURE and find that the Bible says the same thing to ALL CULTURES. Those who HAZE the mirror by speaking of church pews assuredly cannot bring the nose of their brain face to face with the Mind of Christ, the Holy Spirit.

We, in our RACA minds, continue to refute the lie that non-instrumental churches of Christ INVENTED the notion of commands, examples and inferences "out of the mind of southern, red-necked" culture. A NEW HERMENEUTIC built on a lie will die on a lie:

b. AD 200,, Carthage. d. Sept. 14, 258, Carthage

2. Believers, and men who claim for themselves the authority of the Christian name, are not ashamed-are not, I repeat, ashamed to find a defence in the heavenly Scriptures for the vain superstitions associated with the public exhibitions of the heathens,

and thus to attribute divine authority to idolatry.

For how is it, that what is done by the heathens in honour of any idol is resorted to in a public show by faithful Christians, and the heathen idolatry is maintained, and the true and divine religion is trampled upon in contempt of God? Shame binds me to relate their pretexts and defences in this behalf.

"Where," say they, "are there such Scriptures? where are these things prohibited? On the contrary, both Elias is the charioteer of Israel, and David himself danced before the ark.

We read of psalteries, horns, 6 trumpets, drums, pipes, harps, and choral dances. Moreover, the apostle, in his struggle, puts before us the contest of the Caestus, and of our wrestle against the spiritual things of wickedness.

Again, when he borrows his illustrations from the racecourse, he also proposes the prize of the crown. Why, then, may not a faithful Christian man gaze upon that which the divine pen might write about? "At this point I might not unreasonably say that it would have been far better for them not to know any writings at all, than thus to read the Scriptures. 7

For words and illustrations

which are recorded by way of exhortation to evangelical virtue, are translated by them into pleas for vice; because those things are written of, not that they should be gazed upon, but that a greater eagerness might be aroused in our minds in respect of things that will benefit us, seeing that among the heathens there is manifest so much eagerness in respect of things which will be of no advantage.

3. These are therefore an argument to stimulate virtue, not a permission or a liberty to look upon heathen error, that by this consideration the mind may be more inflamed to Gospel virtue for the sake of the divine rewards, since through the suffering of all these labours and pains it is granted to attain to eternal benefits.

For that Elias is the charioteer of Israel is no defence for gazing upon the public games; for he ran his race in no circus. And that David in the presence of God led the dances, is no sanction for faithful Christians to occupy seats in the public theatre; for David did not twist his limbs about in obscene movements, to represent in his dancing the story of Grecian lust. Psalteries, horns, pipes, drums, harps, were used in the service of the Lord, and not of idols.

David was moving the Ark of the Covenant with frequent stops to offer animal sacrifices. This was in mortal fear that something wrong would happen. David was the KING and it was not uncommon for the king to participate in rituals. However, he was not a priest and was not leading the public worship of the people.

Let it not on this account be objected that unlawful things may be gazed upon; for by the artifice of the devil these are changed from things holy to things unlawful. Then let shame demur to these things, even if the Holy Scriptures cannot. For there are certain things wherein the Scripture is more careful in giving instruction.

Acquiescing in the claim of modesty,
it has forbidden more where it has been silent.

The truth, if it descended low enough to deal with such things,
would think very badly of its faithful votaries.

[God does not think that we are FOOLS]

For very often, in matters of precept, some things are advantageously said nothing about;

they often remind when they are expressly forbidden.

So also there is an implied silence even in the writings of the Scripture;

and severity speaks in the place of precepts;
and reason teaches where Scripture has held its peace.

Let every man only take counsel with himself, and let him speak consistently with the character of his profession, and then he will never do any of these things. For that conscience will have more weight which shall be indebted to none other than itself.

4. What has Scripture interdicted? Certainly it has forbidden gazing upon what it forbids to be done. It condemned, I say, all those kinds of exhibitions when it abrogated idolatry-the mother of all public amusements, whence these prodigies of vanity and lightness came.

For what public exhibition is without an idol? what amusement without a sacrifice? what contest is not consecrated to some dead person?

Those Grecian contests, whether in poems, or in instrumental music, or in words, or in personal prowess, have as their guardians various demons;

and whatever else there is which either attracts the eyes or allures the ears of the spectators,
if it be investigated in reference to its origin and institution, presents as its reason either an idol, or a demon, or a dead man.
Thus the devil, who is their original contriver, because he knew that naked idolatry would by itself excite repugnance,
associated it with public exhibitions, that for the sake of their attraction it might be loved.

I have the Bible and 3 dozen ancient documents which GIVES CREDIT to Satan for being the original contriver of entertainment "worship" especially MUSIC.

Those who call that DEMENTED have only their own sound-byte mind to boast their whiney piney hearts.

Cyprian writes:

It is not lawful, I say, for faithful Christians to be present; it is not lawful, I say, at all, even for those whom for the delight of their ears Greece sends everywhere to all who are instructed in her vain arts. One imitates the hoarse warlike clangours of the trumpet; another with his breath blowing into a pipe regulates its mournful sounds; another with dances,

and with the musical voice of a man, strives with his breath, which by an effort he had drawn from his bowels into the upper parts of his body, to play upon the stops of pipes; now letting forth the sound, and now closing it up inside, and forcing it into the air by certain openings of the stops;

now breaking the sound in measure, he endeavours to speak with his fingers, ungrateful to the Artificer who gave him a tongue. Why should I speak of comic and useless efforts? Why of those great tragic vocal ravings?

Why of strings set vibrating with noise? These things, even if they were not dedicated to idols, ought not to be approached and gazed upon by faithful Christians; because, even if they were not criminal, they are characterized by a worthlessness which is extreme, and which is little suited to believers.

10. Let the faithful Christian, I say, devote himself to the sacred Scriptures, and there he shall find worthy exhibitions for his faith.

Ephesians 3 The Nature of The Holy Spirit
Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ	for you Gentiles	Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward:	Ephesians 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;	Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:	Ephesians 3:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.	Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Ephesians 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: [The Word]	Ephesians 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,	Ephesians 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:	Ephesians 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Ephesians 3:13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Ephesians 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,	Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in YOUR hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,	Is Parallel To	Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. You cannot give Jesus Christ the Glory if you impose performers whom Jesus called HYPOCRITES. Doctors of the law "take away the key to knowledge." Jesus called them hypocrites by pointing to Ezekiel 33 where the Spirit OF Christ names self-speakers for hire, singers and instrument players. Christ uses all of these hypocritic arts and crafts as meaning NOTHING, just nothing at all. Paul excluded all private opinions in Romans 14 which do not edify or educate. In Romans 15 he defined the ONLY way to glorify Christ: "using one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for our learning." If you worry about other PATTERNS too much you reject the simple pattern defining the assembly as A School of the Word (Christ in the wilderness) and the Campbells as A School of Christ
