THE NEW HERMENEUTICS HAVE DEMONS AS SPIRIT GUIDES

Thesis: neither God, Jesus nor the Epistles were able to anticipate the needs of OUR evolved generation. Therefore, Lectio-Divina uses the Labyrinth (Serpent Spiral) as an created thing to walk, meditate and HEAR a voice telling you what God was able to reveal.

THE NEW HERMENEUTICS HEARS DECEIVING SPIRIT GUIDES

Given God’s history with God’s people and given the confession of the Rule of Faith  [Holy Scripture in all of history]
AND its practice within the church,  the TEXT itself gives rise to meaning beyond the HUMAN author’s INTENT
The church HEARS the word of God, understands its depth and profundity, and PERFORMS it LITURGICALLY and ethically. 

   Theological hermeneutics, then, is where ecclesially-formed, [Church formed means Preacher-formed] believing readers co-create meaning with the text
                (1) within liturgical life of the church,
                (2) in the confidence of the sacramental function of Scripture, 
                (3) the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit.

2Chr. 18:21 And he said, I will go out,
        and be a lying SPIRIT in the MOUTH of all his prophets.
        And the LORD SAID, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail:
        go out, and do even so.
2Chr. 18:22 Now therefore, behold,
        the LORD hath put a lying SPIRIT in the MOUTH of these thy prophets,
        and the LORD hath SPOKKEN evil against thee.


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 [Miriam], relate that, in their incantations, pretended gods steal in frequently instead of those invoked; 
        that some of these, moreover
        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.
WHY PAUL SILENCED WOMEN DURING THE WEEKLY READING THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING

12. But let them 60 be true, as you maintain, yet will you have us also believe 61 that Mellonia, for example, introduces herself into the entrails, or Limentinus, and that they set themselves to make known 62 what you seek to learn? Did you ever see their face their deportment, their countenance? or can even these be seen in lungs or livers?

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 areso much akin to 63 soothsayers, relate that, in their incantations, pretended gods 64 steal in frequently instead of those invoked;  that some of these, moreover, are spirits of grosser substance, 65 who pretend that they are gods, and delude the ignorant by their lies and deceit,- why 66 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?

Then, indeed, you will learn who is the one God, or who the very many under Him are,
........ who pretend to be gods, and make sport of men's ignorance .

JACKIE HALSTEAD LIPSCOMB IMAGINATION VERSUS THE WORD OF GOD AND JESUS

Lipscomb University Preaching 2008 From Denominational Imagination!  
"This conference proposes that WE allow the worlds imagined
        in the essential biblical narratives
        to dramatically shape our preaching and lives.
We believe that preaching REconstitutes biblical paradigms [patterns] when it engages Scripture’s vision [not intelligible in the text]

  1. by REpresenting what is absent
  2. and making present what is inaccessible
  3. to the end that followers of God will live into a God-shaped reality.

Paul defines that as a STRONG DELUSION or "claiming to replace God."

It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever commanded a DAY for worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever commanded any action by the hands of men as worship.
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that Jesus died in vain unable to "supply all that applies to life and godliness."
It is a STRONG DELUSION that God ever authorized ANY FUNDING for any funded STAFF to ride on the backs of widows
It is a STRONG DELUSION to claim that God commanded SINGING with or without a Mechanical Device.
It is a STRONG DELUSION and a LIE that there is a Law of Tithing or a Law of Giving

It is the DEFINITION of a CULT to operate a center of SANCTITY with command authority, controlling the member's life several days during the week.

THE CHRISTIAN ASSEMBLY IS A SCHOOL OF CHRIST AND SPIRITUAL OR RATIONAL WORSHIP IS READING AND UNDERSTAND A "LECTION" MADE BY "THE DIVINE."

For God is my witness,
        whom I serve WITH my SPIRIT [place]

LECTIO-DIVINA HEARS THE PERMISSION OF MUSICAL-GENDER CONFLICTED IDOLATRY

The Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted "play" was seen as a LAUGHING STOCK and there was no redemption.  You congregation showing up as EMPTY PEWS understands the persona and flee:

"Philodemus 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.

He found it significant that, on the whole, only women and effeminate men fell into this folly.

Accordingly, nothing of value could be attributed to music; it was no more than a slave of the sensation of pleasure, which satisfied much in the same way that food and drink did.

"Now, many a man from the false religions, which are not ashamed of criticising what is noble, will ask: how can there be a feast without carousing and overeating, without the pleasant company of hosts and guests, without quantities of unmixed wine, without richly set tables and highly stacked provisions of everything that pertains to a banquet, without pageantry and jokes,

bantering and merry-making to the accompaniment of flutes and citharas, the sound of drums and cymbals and other effeminate and frivolous music of every king, enkindling unbridled lusts with the help of the sense of hearing. For in and through the same [pleasures] those persons openly seek their joy, for what true joy is their they do not know.

Women's singing was a vital part of all pagan worship. In very early times women became priestly singers of the gods in the temple.

"Women and girls from the different ranks of society were proud to enter the service of the gods as singers and musicians. The understanding of this service was universal: these singers constituted the 'harem of the gods'." (End of Quasten)

ALL worship Words in Scripture speak of bowing low in SUBMISSION or most often FALLING ON YOUR FACE in Reverence and Godly Fear.

There is no example in Scripture of anyone said to WORSHIP by speaking, listening, singing, playing an instrumen
t, acting or PAY FOR PLAY.

        that happened to him in his life was the landing on Taenarus of Arion of Methymna, brought there by a dolphin.
This Arion was a lyre-player second to none in that age; he was the first man whom we know to compose and name the dithyramb1

LABYRINTH AS AN IDOL TO REVEAL THE WORLD IS A SERPENT SPIRIAL
Labyrinth.At.ACU.jpg Sun Goddesses were frequently psychopompes, and the labyrinth was itself connected to the Sun. It's entrance was carefully faced East to catch the first sunlight of the day. Patricia Monaghan's research has also shown that the labyrinth accurately charts the Sun's path in the sky in the far North. Travelling the labyrinth made rebirth possible, whether if be by the Goddess leading the dead from its centre beneath the ground, or the priestess Ariadne guiding initiates through it for a spiritual rebirth.

Winding up the thread originally recreated the globe of the Sun, rebirthing the Sun Goddess herself. The ubiquitous pools near labyrinths or Cretan Goddess temples were probably meant to act as mirrors. The Sun's reflection was used for divination, rather than the endless circling of the fish
.
Snakes are interwoven with a great deal of provocative symbolism. Their coiling bodies suggested the spiral, itself used to represent the Sun and the eyes of the Goddess. The

Ezek. 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man?
        turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Ezek. 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house,
        and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar,
        were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD,
         and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

Strab. 10.3.10 And on this account Plato, and even before his time the Pythagoreians, called philosophy music;1 and they saythat the universe is constituted in accordance with harmony,2 assuming that every form of music is the work of the gods.

        And in this sense, also, the Muses are goddesses,
        and Apollo [Apollyon] is leader of the Muses, and poetry as a whole is laudatory of the gods.

And by the same course of reasoning they also attribute to music the upbuilding of morals, believing that everything which tends to correct the mind is close to the gods.

When Paul wanted everyone to pray for peace and silence to prevent and outbreak of WRATH the word is Orge or Orgy.  Work (ergon) and a musical instrument (organon) are all ORGY words.

Now most of the Greeks assigned to Dionysus, Apollo [Apollyon] , Hecate, the Muses, and above all to Demeter, everything of an orgiastic or Bacchic or choral nature, as well as the mystic element in initiations; and they give the name "Iacchus" not only to Dionysus but also to the leader-in-chief of the mysteries, who is the genius of Demeter. And branch-bearing, choral dancing, and initiations are common elements in the worship of these gods. As for the Muses and Apollo [Apollyon] , [Apollyon] the Muses preside over the choruses, whereas Apollo [Apollyon] presides both over these and the rites of divination [mantikos  daimonion]. But all educated men, and especially the musicians, are ministers of the Muses; and both these and those who have to do with divination are ministers of Apollo [Apollyon] ; and the initiated and torch-bearers and hierophants, of Demeter; and the Sileni and Satyri and Bacchae, and also the Lenae and Thyiae and Mimallones and Naïdes and Nymphae and the beings called Tityri, of Dionysus.

1) Christian Mysticism
Contemplative spirituality has taken the church by storm. This issue is no
longer relegated to the fringe elements of Christianity. No denomination
is immune to its effects, despite the fact that it is the legacy of Roman
Catholic monks who merged Eastern spirituality with Christianity. We will
consider several of the most prominent practices of this “Christian”
mysticism, such as contemplative prayer, the prayer labyrinth, yoga, lectio
divina

"Kenite" is a rendition of Hebrew קֵינִי Qeyniy. According to Gesenius, the name is derived from the name Cain (קַיִן Qayin).[5] According to A. H. Sayce, the name `Kenite', Qéní, is identical an Aramaic word meaning `a smith', which in its turn is a cognate of Hebrew Quayin, with the meaning `a lance'.[6]"

Hermeneuma is also the mark of the Nereids.  These are the Brides or Nymphs implicated in the worship of the Babylon Mother of Harlots (Rev 17).

Hommel bids us take hermēneuon with anthr. ta para theōn (as “eiusdem atque Hermēs radicis”) and diaporthmeuon with theois ta par' anthrōpōn (the office of the porthmeus, Charon, being “animas e terra ad sedes deorum transvehere”).

Daimones Synonym of demon, particularly as (Greek mythology) A

1 The daemons or divine spirits had their existence and activity “betwixt mortal and immortal,”and they served as interpreters and conveyors of men's prayers and offerings to the gods, and of the god's behests and requitals to men(Plato, Sympos. 202 D). Good mortals might become daemons after death(Eurip.Alc. 1003; Plato, Cratyl. 398 B; Lucian, De morte Peregr. 36), and such as they were charged with the guidance and care of mankind(Plato, Laws 713 D; Plutarch, De genio Socr. 588 C).

Plat. Crat. 398b Socrates
This, then, I think, is what he certainly means to say of the spirits: because they were wise and knowing (daēmones) he called them spirits (daimones) and in the old form of our language the two words are the same. Now he and all the other poets are right, who say that when a good man dies 398c] he has a great portion and honor among the dead, and becomes a spirit, a name which is in accordance with the other name of wisdom. And so I assert that every good man, whether living or dead, is of spiritual nature, and is rightly called a spirit.

2 The“journey across”seems to refer to one part of the“conveying”that daemons performed—conducting the souls of deceased human beings from earth to the abode of the gods.

Plat. Epin. 985a] but partaking of extraordinary intelligence, as belonging to an order which is quick to learn and strong in memory, we may say that they understand the whole of our thoughts, and show extraordinary kindness to anyone of us who is a good man and true, and hate him who is utterly evil, as one who already partakes of suffering. For we know that God, who has the privilege of the divine portion, is remote from these affections of pain and pleasure, but has a share of intelligence and knowledge in every sphere; and the heaven being filled full of live creatures,
