Galatians 5:12 I would
they were even cut off which trouble you.
A. Based on the words Paul uses pointed to the emasculated priests of the mother goddess, Paul intends to CUT OFF the musical performers in the same way the priests were made eunuchs:
This would apply to the musical fall from grace at Mount Sinai: the worship of the Mother Goddess allowed males to "perform the role of women." David's stola was worn by the office of prostitute and the Ephod was a phallic symbol which David cast off and went naked.First:
Apo-koptō , a.ta gennētika, of eunuchs, Ph.1.89: abs., apokekommenos eunuch, LXXDe.23.1, cf.Luc.Eun.8:Med., make oneself a eunuch, Ep.Gal.5.12, cf. Arr.Epict.2.20.19.
Deuteronomy 23.1 non intrabit eunuchus adtritis vel amputatis testiculis et absciso veretro ecclesiam Domini
The folly of Israel was common throughout history. An emasculated priest served as the DOGS of Cybele the Mother of the Gods. The Babylon mother of harlots in Revelation 17 used these "lusted after FRUITS" as speakers, singers and instrument players (Rev 18). Paul called the SORCERERS who HAD deceived the whole world.
Deuteronomy 23.1He who is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the assembly of Yahweh.Second:
Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like:
of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past,
that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Chrysostom's Commentary on Galatians:
Galatians 5:1.-"With freedom did Christ set us free; stand fast therefore.115 ."
Ver. 12."I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off." And he says well "that unsettle you."
"A man that is heretical after the first and second admonition refuse." (Tit. iii: 10) If they will,Catullus,Carmina 63 Noteslet them not only be circumcised, but mutilated.Where then are those who dare to mutilate themselves; seeing that they draw down the Apostolic curse, and accuse the workmanship of God, and take part with the Manichees? ... But if you will not allow this,why do you not mutilate the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the whole body?For the ear enchanted by the sound of a flute hath often enervated the soul;
and the perception of a sweet perfume by the nostrils hath bewitched the mind, and made it frantic for pleasure .
Thy timbrel, Mother Cybele, the firstings of thy rite,
And as her tender finger-tips on bull-back hollow rang
She rose a-grieving and her song to listening comrades sang.
"Up Gallae, hie together, haste for Cybele's deep grove,
Hie to the Dindymnean dame, ye flocks that love to rove;
The which affecting stranger steads as bound in exile's brunt
My sect pursuing led by me have nerved you to confront
The raging surge of salty sea and ocean's tyrant hand
As your hate of Venus' [ZOE] hest your manly forms unmann'd,
Gladden your souls, ye mistresses, with sense of error bann'd.
Drive from your spirits dull delay, together follow ye
To hold of Phrygian goddess, home of Phrygian Cybebe,
Where loud the cymbal's voice resounds with timbrel-echoes blending,
And where the Phrygian piper drones grave bass from reed a-bending,
Where toss their ivy-circled heads with might the Maenades
Where ply mid shrilly lullilooes the holiest mysteries,
Where to fly here and there be wont the she-god's vaguing train,
Thither behoves us lead the dance in quick-step hasty strain."

Assist Corinna with thy friendly powers.

A life so precious by thy aid secure;
So mayst thou with Osiris still find grace:
By Anubis's venerable face,
I pray thee, so may still thy rights divine
Flourish, and serpents round thy offerings twine
May Apis with his horns the pomp attend,
And be to thee, as thou'rt to her, a friend.
Look down, oh Isis! on the teeming fair,
And make at once her life and mine thy care:
Have pity on her pains; the help you give
To her, her lover saves, in her I live.
From thee this favour she deserves; she pays
Her vows to thee on all thy solemn days;
And when the Galli at thy altars wait,
She's present at the feast they celebrate.

Galatians 5:13 For,
brethren, ye have been called unto liberty;
only use not liberty
for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve
one another.
The Logos versus the
Mythos defines the two races of mankind: In Romans 12 Paul
insists that we silence or sacrifice our flesh so that our
worship can be Rational or Of Truth and IN the spirit as
opposed to in the flesh.
Gal 5:14 For all the law
is fulfilled in one word, even in this;
Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
Gal 5:15 But if ye bite and devour one another,
take heed that
ye be not consumed one of another.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh
lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the
flesh:
and these are contrary
the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do
the things that ye would.
A person is governed by the LOGOS or MYTHOS: The Word or logos governes the human spirit or mind. The human senses devoid of spirit governes the lawless stopped only by a penalty. If people approach their view of god with external rituals they are defined as witches or sorcerers marking them 'of the world' from whom God hides Himself and Jesus does not pray.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of
the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
SPIRIT never speaks of A being, human or Divine. God is Holy or WHOLLY SPIRIT which defines the "substratum" upon which God rests or lives, AS we exist on a substratum of FLESH. Paul equated The Holy Spirit of God to The Mind of Christ (1 Cor 2).

No level of "scholarship" will let a modern preacher trained in rhetoric or communication hear the Word of God: Jesus said that God HIDES Himself from the wise: the wise are the sophists meaning preachers, singers and instrument players. Jesus will not pray for the WORLD but only those who are permitted to HEAR the Words God the Father in heaven spoke through Jesus of Nazareth to the apostles (only). The Spirit OF Christ had defined the curriculum in great detail through the prophets.
Modern worship is "body worship" and intends to disable the spirit or mind.
Worship is defined both INCLUSIVELY and EXCLUSIVELY as Christ ordained the Qahal, synagogue or church of Christ in the wilderness. Paul understood that worship "in spirit" is worship in the PLACE of the human spirit or mind. Those who perform hypocritic arts--preachers, singers, instrument players--have the task of PREVENTING you from worshiping IN the spirit as opposed to IN the flesh (Philippians 3)

The Ekklesia does not make up its on subject of discussion. The ekklesia or church is commanded to "speak one to another" with "that which is written for our learning" and then discuss it. There are no lecturers. For instance:
Plat. Meno 75d I have made my statement; if it is wrong, your business is to examine and refute it. But if, like you and me on this occasion, we were friends and chose to have a discussion together, I should have to reply in some milder tone more suited to dialectic. The more dialectical way, I suppose, is not merely to answer what is true, but also to make use of those points which the questioned person acknowledges he knows. And this is the way in which I shall now try to argue with you. Tell me, is there something you call an end? Such a thing, I mean,Rational or spiritual worship is Opposite

Therion or the "beast" in Revelation is defined as "creating a new style of music or drama." This was always the sign of people trying to introduce new "gods."
God pronounces anathema on pseudo-prophets who speak their own words and claim that they are the words of the Spirit of Christ.
Jeremiah 23:25 I have heard what the prophets have said,
who prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies,
even the prophets of the deceit of their own heart?
Jeremiah 23:27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams
which they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Xen. Apol. 12 12] As for introducing new divinities, how could I be guilty of that merely in asserting that a voice of God is made manifest to me indicating my duty? Surely those who take their omens from the cries of birds and the utterances of men form their judgments on voices. Will any one dispute either that thunder utters its voice, or that it is an omen of the greatest moment?

-Tac. Ann. 2.69 Germanicus meanwhile, as he was returning from Egypt, found that all his directions to the legions and to the various cities had been repealed or reversed. This led to grievous insults on Piso, while he as savagely assailed the prince. Piso then resolved to quit Syria Soon he was detained there by the failing health of Germanicus, but when he heard of his recovery,
while people were paying the vows they had offered for his safety,
he went attended by his lictors,
drove away the victims placed by the altars with all the preparations for sacrifice,
and the festal gathering of the populace of Antioch.
Then he left for Seleucia and awaited the result of the illness which had again attacked Germanicus. The terrible intensity of the malady was increased by the belief that he had been poisoned by Piso.
And certainly there were found hidden in the floor and in the walls disinterred remains of human bodies, incantations and spells, and the name of Germanicus inscribed on leaden tablets, half-burnt cinders smeared with blood, and other horrors by which in popular belief souls are devoted so the infernal deities. Piso too was accused of sending emissaries to note curiously every unfavourable symptom of the illness.

Some snatcht limbs and joints of sturlings rended to pieces,
These girt necks and waists with writhing bodies of vipers,
Those with the gear enwombed in crates dark orgies ordained
Orgies that ears profane must vainly lust for o'er hearing
Others with palms on high smote hurried strokes on the cymbal,
Or from the polisht brass woke thin-toned tinkling music,
While from the many there boomed and blared hoarse blast of the horn-trump,
And with its horrid skirl loud shrilled the barbarous bag-pipe

Plat. Theaet. 173d do not even know where the court-room is, or the senate-house, or any other public place of assembly; as for laws and decrees,
they neither hear the debates upon them nor see them when they are published;
and the strivings of political clubs after public offices, and meetings, and banquets,
and revellings with chorus girls
it never occurs to them even in their dreams to indulge in such things. And whether anyone in the city is of high or low birth, or what evil has been inherited by anyone from his ancestors, male or female, are matters to which they pay no more attention than to the number of pints in the sea, as the saying is.

HH 4 481 What skill is this? What song for desperate cares? What way of song? For verily here are three things to hand all at once from which to choose, mirth, and love, and sweet sleep.
[450] And though I am a follower of the Olympian Muses who love dances and the bright path of song the full-toned chant and ravishing thrill of flutes
yet I never cared for any of those feats of skill at young men's revels, as I do now for this: [455] I am filled with wonder, O son of Zeus, at your sweet playing. But now, since you, though little, have such glorious skill, sit down, dear boy, and respect the words of your elders For now you shall have renown among the deathless gods, you and your mother also. This I will declare to you exactly: [460] by this shaft of cornel wood I will surely make you a leader renowned among the deathless gods, and fortunate, and will give you glorious gifts and will not deceive you from first to last....Now, you are free to learn whatever you please; [475] but since, as it seems, your heart is so strongly set on playing the lyre, chant, and play upon it, and give yourself to merriment, taking this as a gift from me, and do you, my friend, bestow glory on me. Sing well with this clear-voiced companion in your hands; for you are skilled in good, well-ordered utterance. [480] From now on bring it confidently to the rich feast and lovely dance and glorious revel, a joy by night and by day. Whoso with wit and wisdom enquires of it cunningly, him it teaches [485] through its sound all manner of things that delight the mind, being easily played with gentle familiarities, for it abhors toilsome drudgery; but whoso in ignorance enquires of it violently, to him it chatters mere vanity and foolishness.

Gal 5:22 But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christs have crucified
the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Ver. 12. "I would that they which unsettle you, would even cut themselves off."
"Observe how bitterly he
speaks here against their deceivers.125
At the outset he directed his charge against those who were
deceived, and called them foolish, once and again. Now, having
sufficiently corrected and instructed them, he turns to their
deceivers. And you should remark his wisdom in the manner in
which he admonishes and chastens the former as his own
children, and as capable of receiving correction,
but their deceivers he cuts off, as aliens and incurably depraved. And this he does, partly, when he says, "he shall bear his judgment whosoever he be;" partly when he utters the imprecation against them, "I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off."
And he says well "that unsettle you."
For they had compelled them to abandon their own fatherland, their liberty,
and their heavenly kindred, and to seek an alien and foreign one;
they had cast them out of Jerusalem which is above and free,
and compelled them to wander forth as captives and emigrants.

Chorus
If I am a seer or wise of heart, [1090] Cithaeron, you will not failby heaven, you will notto know at tomorrow's full moon that Oedipus honors you as native to him, as his nurse, and his mother, and that you are celebrated in our dance and song, [1095] because you are well-pleasing to our prince. O Phoebus to whom we cry, may these things find favor in your sight!
Chorus
Who was it, my son, who of the race whose years are many, that bore you in wedlock with [1100] Pan, the mountain-roaming father? Or was it a bride of Loxias that bore you? For dear to him are all the upland pastures. [1105] Or perhaps it was Cyllene's lord, or the Bacchants' god, dweller on the hill-tops, that received you, a new-born joy, from one of the nymphs of Helicon, with whom he most often sports.

Singing.
Such are the songs with which the Muse (Kharis) with the glorious hair [800] inspires the able poet and which enchant the assembled populace, when the spring swallow twitters beneath the foliage; but the god spare us from the chorus of Morsimus and that of Melanthius! [805] Oh! what a bitter discordancy grated upon my ears that day when the tragic chorus was directed by this same Melanthius and his brother, these two [810] Gorgons, these two Harpies, the plague of the seas, whose gluttonous bellies devour the entire race of fishes, these followers of old women, these goats with their stinking arm-pits. [815] Oh! Muse, spit upon them abundantly and keep the feast gaily with me.
