2Tim. 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee WISE unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Knowing how to make disciples in a modern culture made immune by
religious merchants dollar-focused is not an easy task. People are no
longer willing to be entrapped by Jewish fables and old wives
tales. The task of Jesus and Paul was to free us from the Scribes
and Pharisees, hypocrites in Ezekiel 33 popular preachers for hire,
singers and instrument players: these are often the marks of people
refusing to hear the Word (regulative principle) as well as the mark of
buring. People can be discipled best when we let them obey Christ in
Isaiah 55 and not pay for the free water of the word and free from those
seeking their own pleasure or speaking their own words. Isaiah
58. The Word is the power and it cannot be enhanced. May we
all become Timothy's.
The Holy Scriptures are the Prophets by the spirit OF Christ and the
prophecies of Christ in the other writings. In his youth Timothy
would have been quarantined from the horrors of the sacrificial system
even if in Jerusalem. He was wise unto salvation because the Spirit OF Christ defined the
future REST from religion both inclusively and exclusively in the
prophets. His mother and grandmother would have learned
Scripture by attending synagogue to hear the Prophets read, memorized by
being trained in the oral tradition or possibly even making copies of
the pericopes or portion of Scripture being read and rehearsed. Along
with the men there was no need to debate in that Reading Assembly and
took the training home and discussed it. George Dehoff, the godlly
preacher, told me that he memorized his school work, came home, changed
clothes, went out to plow and SPOKE or SANG his lesson to himself-over
and over.
Paul did not wet nurse Timothy but did lay on his hands
which gave Timothy the signs of authority to mark him as a spokesman for
God. The only tool that Paul or Timothy had was the WORD and they
had no burden to "convert" people into a worshiping institution.
The "lost spirits" when hearing the word would demand to be
baptized. Paul and Timothy would obey Jesus' command to teach that
which He commanded to be taught.
Having gone as kerusso or herald Paul told timothy to WORK so that he could sponsor the Agape
which in its non-pagan sense meant to feed the day workers before they
went out seeking work.
The way to do spiritual formation is by direct command and approved
examples to PREACH the Word by READING the Word for comfort and
doctrine. The "ekklesia" defines the free citizens of the kingdom
and no one gets the right to seek their time or money or even attention
until the commanded next week, same time and place. When they assemble
they are called a synagogue which is a Word of God only School.
The vocational elders and deacons SPEAK "that which is written for our
learning" which is why Paul silenced both men and women.
Jesus said that God hides from the wise or sophists which is that
femininist or effeminate word of anti-scriptural paganism. A sophists
is one who sells their own opinion, works, rhetoric, singing, acting,
dancing or the pagan Grace or muses who sells sexual favors. God
speaks to the BABES and so Timothy would have attended synagogue or
School of the Prophets delivered by the Spirit OF Christ as opposed to
the Law of Moses imposed as a curse because of musical idolatry of the
always-pagan trinity at Mount Sinai.
TO GUARD AGAINST THE PAGAN ANTITHESIS: Spiritual formation, ignatian

Kairos (demon son), Ethos and a host of other practiced defined by
Scripture's pointing to paganism where all mind control shepherding or
discipling is defined as sorcery or witchcraft.

The
word lelein is
fundamentally an onomatopoetic one, meaning, as Thayer's Lexicon puts
it, to go 'la-la'. The Greeks shouted 'alala' both in worship and in
war, and personified Alala as a deity (Pindar, Fr. 208 [78]; Plutarch
2.3496). It was this same repetitive and meaningless syllabification
in pagan prayers which Jesus described: 'for they think they shall be
heard for their much speaking' (Matthew 6:7)

Iamblichus
wrote of Sabazianism
which was what God abandoned Israel to because of musical idolatry.
We
affirm,
accordingly, not only that the shoutings and choric songs are sacred
to the gods, each and all of
them, as being peculiarly their own, but likewise that there is a
kindred relationship between them in their proper order . . . and the
peculiar usages of Sabazian worship make ready for
the Bacchic enthusiasm, the
purifying of souls, and deliverances
from old incriminations, their respective inspirations
are, accordingly,
different in every important particular.
Thou
seemest to think that
those who are enrapt
by the Mother
of the
gods are males, for
thou callest them, accordingly, 'Metrizontes' yet that is not true,
for the 'Metrizontesae' are
chiefly women (op cit., pp. 121-123
Such
women must learn that they
were purified
not
through shouting but
through the blood
of
Christ and through the washing of the water of the
Word.

For if, together with many possessions, a man wins renown and glory,

So, also, certain others of these ecstatics
become entheast or inspired when they hear cymbals, drums, or
some choral chant;
as
for example, those who are engaged in the Korybantic
Rites, those who
are
possessed at the Sabazian
festivals, and
those who are celebrating the Rites of the Divine
Mother.
Others,
also, are inspired when drinking water,
like the priest of the Klarian
Apollo at Kolophon; others when
sitting over cavities in the earth, like the
women who deliver oracles
at
Delphi; others
when affected
by vapor from the water, like the
prophetesses at Branchidæ;
and others when standing in indented marks like those who have been
filled from an imperceptible inflowing of the divine plerome.

That likewise, an evidence that a condition
of the Soul is a principal source of the art of divining is shown by
the facts that the senses
are
held in
check, fumes and invocations being employed
for the purpose;
and
that by no means everybody, but
only the more artless
and young persons, are suitable for the
purpose.
3.
That likewise, ecstasy or alienation
of mind is a chief origin of the divining art;
also the mania which occurs in
diseases, mental aberration, abstinence from wine, suffusions of the
body. fancies set in motion by morbid conditions or equivocal states
of mind, such as may occur during abstinence and ecstasy, or
apparitions got up by technical

When
we came to the sea-shore, where Orestes' [GENDER CONFUSED] ship

in hiding, [1330]
Agamemnon's daughter motioned to those of us you sent with the
strangers' bonds to stand far off, as if her sacrifice of purifying
flame, that she had come for, were secret. But she went on alone,
holding the strangers' chains in her hands, behind them.
Your
servants,
lord, were suspicious, [1335]
but
we
allowed it. After a while, so that we might think that she was
accomplishing something, she raised a shout, and chanted
strange songs
and spells, as if she were washing off
the pollution of murder.
When we
had sat a long time, [1340]
it
occurred
to us that the strangers, loosed from their bonds, might kill her and
escape by flight. But we were afraid of seeing what we ought not, and
sat in silence. But at length we all resolved to go where they were,
although we were not allowed.

Enoch 8:1 Moreover Azazyel (Satan

men to make

Genun (Jubal etal.) the
Canaanite, son of Lamech the Blind, living in the Land of the Slime
Pits, was ruled by Azael from his earliest youth, [The old Nadab and
Abihu

and invented all sorts of musical instruments.
When he played these, Azael ENTERED into them too,
so that they gave forth seductive tunes entrancing the hearts
of all listeners.
Genun would assemble companies of musicians,
who inflamed one another with music until their lust burned bright like
fire,
and they lay together promiscuously.
He also brewed beer, gathered great crowds in taverns, gave them to
drink, [New Wineskins]
and taught them to forge iron swords and spear-points, with which to do
murder at random when they were drunk
.
Their
danger is that they BELIEVE their own lies and cannot even quote
anything without twisting it to FIT their brains which The Book of
Enoch and many other documents PROVE that making the MUSIC MEANS

Thence,

thought, he speeds from earth to Olympus, to the house of Zeus, to
