Hebrews 12 Our God Is A Consuming Fire

Mount Sinai Instrumental Trinitarian Perverted Idolatry

I suspect that the problem of refusing to be a School of the Words of Christ and using the "worship" word is because we cannot grasp the infinite span between God's message to us and our own vain imagination. If you think in terms of pleasing humans and apply that to God Christ in the Prophets should show the difference: there was NO MAN who could intercede so God sent His HAND or ARM or WORD.

Reminding us of the first FALL FROM grace by rejecting the Words of God which led to mjusical idolatry and caused them to be blind and unable to READ the Word of God, Paul said:

Heb. 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched,
        and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Heb. 12:19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words;
        which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
Heb. 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God,
        the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Heb. 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn [Church of Christ],
        which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all,
        and to the spirits of just men made perfect

Heb. 12:24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant,
       and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

The Church of Christ is the only apparent group on earth which does not repudiate that but confesses it to its great but promised persecution.

Heb. 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed with pure water.

Probably the massed multitude believes that ekklesia is to REFUSE to listen to Christ in His Word "as written" and that itself IS entertaining to those who are not Disciples of what Jesus taught.

Heb. 12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh.
For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth,
much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven

Whose voice then SHOOK the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet ONCE MORE I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. Heb 12:26

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the REMOVING of those things that are shaken,
as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be shaken [a trumpet-like word] may remain. Heb 12:27

Wherefore we RECEIVING a KINGDOM which cannot be moved, let us have GRACE

WHEREBY, we may SERVE God acceptably with REVERENCE and godly fear: Heb 12:28

Phaedrus [245a] ills is found. And a third kind of possession and madness comes from the Muses. This takes hold upon a gentle and pure soul, arouses it and inspires it to songs and other poetry, and thus by adorning countless deeds of the ancients educates later generations.
But he who without the divine madness comes to the doors of the Muses, confident that he will be a good poet by art, meets with no success, and the poetry of the sane man vanishes into nothingness before that of the inspired madmen.

Plato Ion [536c] and you have plenty to say: for it is not by art or knowledge about Homer that you say what you say, but by divine dispensation and possession; just as the Corybantian worshippers are keenly sensible of that strain alone which belongs to the god whose possession is on them, and have plenty of gestures and phrases for that tune, but do not heed any other. And so you, Ion, when the subject of Homer is mentioned, have plenty to say, but nothing on any of the others.

[216] Aphrodite [Zoe] of Cyprus brought the maddening bird to men for the first time, and she taught the son of Aeson skill in prayerful incantations, so that he could rob Medea of reverence for her parents, and a longing for Greece would lash her, her mind on fire, with the whip of Persuasion...

And from Apollo the lyre-player came, the father of songs, much-praised Orpheus. [178] And Hermes of the golden wand sent two sons to take part in the unabating toil, Echion and Erytus, bursting with youth

But immortal Zeus freed the Titans; and in time, when the wind ceases, there are changes [293] of sails. But he prays that at some time, when he has drained to the dregs his cup of ruinous affliction, he will see his home, and, joining the symposium near the spring of Apollo [Abaddon, Apollyon], [295] yield his spirit often to the joys of youth, and attain peace, holding the well-made lyre among his skillful fellow citizens, bringing no pain to anyone, and himself unharmed by his townsmen. Then he would tell you, Arcesilas, what a fountain of immortal song he found, when he was recently entertained by his host at Thebes.

1Pet. 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
1Pet. 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [drink down in tithes and offerings]
1Pet. 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
