Jeanene Reese was defined in 1 Timothy 2. Strongly Deluded, Jeanene Reese believes that HER pattern is TRUE and God's is FALSE.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Rom 1:22
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Rom 1:23
See the story of the Golden Calf: you will find that most people who repudiate baptism which was a TYPE at the Red Sea also fall into the musical idolatry of the pagan trinity.
"While she may have been called a prophetess because she was a wife of a prophet it is more likely that she had been a prophetess in Egypt which meant that she was a priestess with intercessory authority. Miriam and a band of trained women went out in a mind-altering song and dance with instruments common to Egypt but not common to Israel. This has been interpreted as not just a "victorious" dance but a well-established cultic activity of a priestess with unquestioned authority - which she even tried out on God.
"We know that all of the Israelites brought Egyptian gods and practices with them and it is not far-fetched to think that Miriam, who had not yet been exposed to the Covenant, was part of the consciousness-altering rhythms and which was part of a priestly myth-play brought to destructive consummation at Mount Sinai as the golden calf was called back into action.
This "rising up to play" involved eating, drinking, nakedness and musical worship. The goddess, Hathor, is the best candidate for the Mother Goddess of the Mount Sinai idolatry. Here priestessess or prophetesses were highly trained with musical instruments, cultic songs and be able to join in the religious dance.
"Music and drugs were co-consiprators in religious ecstasy. They may have used some product of the sycamore fig which both intoxicated and induced an altered state of consciousness. The ergo of barley was well known.
"On the other hand, other sources, specifically relating to the customs of the East, refer to the dance as a slow, grave, and solemn gesture, generally accompanied with singing and the sound of the timbrel!
"The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).
"In the New Testament there is nowhere any emphasis laid on the musical form of the hymns; and in particular none on instrumental accompaniment whereas this is significantly paganism." (Delling, Gerhard, Worship in the New Testament, trans. Percy Scott Phil. Westminster press, 1962, p. 86).
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts,
to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Rom 1:24Who changed the truth of God into a lie,
and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom 1:25For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:
for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:26And likewise also the men,
leaving the natural use of the woman,
burned in their lust one toward another;
men with men working that which is unseemly,
and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. Rom 1:27And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,
God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Rom 1:28Jeanene Reese: In lieu of one bold sermon including one brave female professor, and in a coliseum filled with generations of Christians both old and new, one powerful sentence was announced across the podium during the finale of a Church of Christ CONFERENCE – the church needs and should reconsider our stance on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender question.
ONCE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITIES HAVE A HISTORY OF ENCOURAGING DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR. The Women led the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry. This was the worship of the Egyptian trinity of Osiris-Isis-Horus.
Opis the golden calf or calves represented Osiris, Isis and Horus: the pagan trinity of father, mother and son.
Horus was the posthumous son and heir of the god Osiris, the primordial king and giver of life. He was invited by his uncle, Seth, to spend a day. Seth’s real motive was not to show him hospitality but to disqualify him from inheriting his father’s royal power. To this end, while Horus slept Seth committed an act of sodomy upon him. Since sodomy was inflicted as a punishment on a defeated enemy and was a symbol of domination, Seth could then claim that he had conquered Horus and demand the kingship in his place.
Historically, the rape of males was more widely recognized in ancient times. Several of the legends in Greek mythology involved abductions and sexual assaults of males by other males or gods. The rape of a defeated male enemy was considered the special right of the victorious soldier in some societies and was a signal of the totality of the defeat. There was a widespread belief that a male who was sexually penetrated, even if it was by forced sexual assault, thus "lost his manhood," and could no longer be a warrior or ruler. Gang rape of a male was considered an ultimate form of punishment and, as such, was known to the Romans as punishment for adultery and the Persians and Iranians as punishment for violation of the sanctity of the harem (Donaldson, 1990). Donaldson, Donald. (1990). "Rape of Males," in Dynes, Wayne, ed. Encyclopedia of Homosexuality. New York: Garland Publications.The Jews whose "god"--whatever they named him-was Dionysus or Orpheus. Jesus called the MEN in Jerusalem Children or Boys. They PIPED expecting that Jesus would SUBMIT and identify Himself as their anticipated MESSIAS
Messiah the Goddess of ReapingThe eggs are regarded as sacred to the Castors, by men who are not ashamed to profess faith in their production from the egg of a swan, which was no other than Jupiter himself. The Dolphins vomit forth in honour of Neptune. Images of Sessia, so called as the goddess of sowing; of Messia, so called as the goddess of reaping; of Tutulina, so called as the fruit-protecting deity—load the pillars. In front of these you have three altars to these three gods—Great, Mighty, Victorious. They reckon these of Samo-Thrace. The huge Obelisk, as Hermeteles affirms, is set up in public to the Sun; its inscription, like its origin, belongs to Egyptian superstition. Cheerless were the demon-gathering without their Mater Magna; and so she presides there over the Euripus. Consus, as we have mentioned, lies hidden under ground at the Murcian Goals
Chapter XVII. Theatrical Performers Victims of Public Lust
Are we not, in like manner, enjoined to put away from us all immodesty?
On this ground, again, we are excluded from the theatre, which is immodesty's own peculiar abode, where nothing is in repute but what elsewhere is disreputable.
So the best path to the highest favour of its god is the vileness which the Atellan [The ludi Atellani were so called from Atella, in Campania, where a vast amphitheatre delighted the inhabitants. Juvenal, Sat. vi. 71. The like disgrace our times.]
gesticulates, which the buffoon in woman's clothes exhibits, destroying all natural modesty,
so that they blush more readily at home than at the play,
which finally is done from his childhood
on the person of the pantomime, that he may become an actor.The very harlots, too, victims of the public lust, are brought upon the stage,
their misery increased as being there in the presence of their own sex,
from whom alone they are wont to hide themselves:
they are paraded publicly before every age and every rank-their abode,
their gains, their praises, are set forth, and that even in the hearing
of those who should not hear such things.I say nothing about other matters, which it were good to hide away in their own darkness and their own gloomy caves, lest they should stain the light of day. Let the Senate, let all ranks, blush for very shame!
Why, even these miserable women, who by their own gestures destroy their modesty, dreading the light of day, and the people's gaze, know something of shame at least once a year.
But if we ought to abominate all that is immodest, on what ground is it right to hear what we must not speak?
For all licentiousness of speech, nay, every idle word, is condemned by God.
Why, in the same way, is it right to look on what it is disgraceful to do? How is it that the things which defile a man in going out of his mouth, are not regarded as doing so when they go in at his eyes and ears-when eyes and ears are the immediate attendants on the spirit-and that can never be pure whose servants-in-waiting are impure?
You have the theatre forbidden, then, in the forbidding of immodesty. If, again, we despise the teaching of secular literature as being foolishness in God's eyes, our duty is plain enough in regard to those spectacles, which from this source derive the tragic or comic play. If tragedies and comedies are the bloody and wanton, the impious and licentious inventors of crimes and lusts, it is not good even that there should be any calling to remembrance the atrocious or the vile. What you reject in deed, you are not to bid welcome to in word.
Chapter XXVII. Angels MARK Those who Meet With Heathen
We ought to detest these heathen meetings and assemblies, if on no other account than that there God's name is blasphemed-that there the cry "To the lions!" is daily raised against us [Observe-"daily raised." On this precarious condition of the Christians, in their daily life, see the calm statement of Kaye, pp. 110, 111. -that from thence persecuting decrees are wont to emanate, and temptations are sent forth. What will you do if you are caught in that heaving tide of impious judgments?
- Not that there any harm is likely to come to you from men:
- nobody knows that you are a Christian; but think how it fares with you in heaven.
For at the very time the devil is working havoc in the church,
do you doubt that the angels are looking down from above,
and marking every man, who speaks and who listens to the blaspheming word,
who lends his tongue and who lends his ears to the service of Satan against God?Shall you not then shun those tiers where the enemies of Christ assemble, that seat of all that is pestilential, and the very super incumbent atmosphere all impure with wicked cries?
Grant that you have there things that are pleasant, things both agreeable and innocent in themselves; even some things that are excellent.
Nobody dilutes poison with gall and hellebore: the accursed thing is put into condiments well seasoned and of sweetest taste.So, too, the devil puts into the deadly draught which he prepares,
things of God most pleasant and most acceptable.
Everything there, then, that is either brave, noble,
loud-sounding, melodious, or exquisite in taste,
hold it but as the honey drop of a poisoned cake;
nor make so much of your taste for its pleasures,
as of the danger you run from its attractions.Jeanene Reese: While the faces of several turned sour and ears of hundreds became deaf with disbelief,0
Dr. Jeanene Reese, associate professor of Bible,
mission and ministry and associate chair of the department,
spoke out after months of prayer,
tears and ultimately acceptance that perhaps
the love for one another is more vital, more important and more difficult to comprehend
when it comes to people who simply have decided to love someone of the same sex.
Chapter XI. Jupiter, Muses' Arts Dedicated to Mars Sounds of Trumpets
In fulfilment of our plan, let us now go on to consider the combats. Their origin is akin to that of the games (ludi). Hence they are kept as either sacred or funereal, as they have been instituted in honour of the idol-gods of the nations or of the dead. Thus, too, they are called Olympian in honour of Jupiter, known at Rome as the Capitoline; Nemean, in honour of Hercules; Isthmian, in honour of Neptune; the rest mortuarii, as belonging to the dead. What wonder, then,
if idolatry pollutes the combat-parade with profane crowns,
with sacerdotal chiefs,
with attendants belonging to the various colleges,
last of all with the blood of its sacrifices? (Note: the old must always be sacrificed)
. To add a completing word about the "place"-
- in the common place for the college of the arts sacred to the Muses, and Apollo, and Minerva,
and also for that of the arts dedicated to Mars,
they with contest and sound of trumpet emulate the circus in the arena,
which is a real temple-I mean of the god whose festivals it celebrates.
The gymnastic arts also originated with their Castors, and Herculeses,
and Mercuries. [homosexual gods and worshipers]Jeanene Reese: That the very people who have been marginalized, opposed, exploited and undermined are rejected by the church. Not only rejected in the sense of not accepting them into a congregation, but also disregarded by simply remaining silent.
Members of the LGBT are not the problem –
it is the deafening silence the church has toward this community that is the problem.
The Greek word CHARISMATIC, on the surface, means to PLEASURE ANOTHER whom you consider superior. However, that including sodomy where the worshipers preferred young boys and recruited them from over the land to become "priests." The meaning is pederasty so common in all priestcraft.
Arnobius identifies another "mark" of the beast:
Catamitus is carried off to be a favourite and cup-bearer; and Fabius, that he may be called Jove's darling, is branded on the soft parts, and marked in the hinder.
Greek GANYMEDES, Latin GANYMEDES, OR CATAMITUS, in Greek legend, the son of Tros (or Laomedon), king of Troy. Because of his unusual beauty, he was carried off either by the gods or by Zeus, disguised as an eagle, or, according to a Cretan account, by Minos, to serve as cupbearer. In compensation, Zeus gave Ganymede's father a stud of immortal horses (or a golden vine).
From early times it was believed that Ganymede's kidnapper had a homosexual passion for him, hence the term catamite, derived from the popular Latin form of his name. He was later identified with the constellation Aquarius.
Chapter XXIII. Actors, Effeminate to MARK Jesus as a Liar
Seeing, then, man's own reflections, even in spite of the sweetness of pleasure, lead him to think that people such as these should be condemned to a hapless lot of infamy, losing all the advantages connected with the possession of the dignities of life, how much more does the divine righteousness inflict punishment on those who give themselves to these arts! Will God have any pleasure in the charioteer
- who disquiets so many souls, rouses up so many furious passions,
- and creates so many various moods, either crowned like a priest
- or wearing the colours of a pimp,
- decked out by the devil that he may be whirled away in his chariot,
- as though with the object of taking off Elijah?
Will He be pleased with him who applies the razor to himself, and completely changes his features; who, with no respect for his face, is not content with making it as like as possible to Saturn and Isis and Bacchus, but gives it quietly over to contumelious blows, as if in mockery of our Lord? The devil, forsooth, makes it part, too, of his teaching, that the cheek is to be meekly offered to the smiter. In the same way,
with their high shoes, he has made the tragic actors taller, because "none can add a cubit to his stature." (Matt. vi. 27.)
His desire is to make Christ a liar. And in regard to the wearing of masks,
I ask is that according to the mind of God, who forbids the making of every likeness, and especially then the likeness of man who is His own image?The Author of truth hates all the false; He regards as adultery all that is unreal. Condemning, therefore, as He does hypocrisy in every form,
He never will approve any putting on of voice, or sex, or age; He never will approve pretended loves, and wraths, and groans, and tears. Then, too, as in His law it is declared that
the man is cursed who attires himself in female garments, (Deut. xxii.)
what must be His judgment of the pantomime, who is even brought up to play the woman!And will the boxer go unpunished? I suppose he received these cµstus-scars, and the thick skin of his fists, and these growths upon his ears, at his creation! God, too, gave him eyes for no other end than that they might be knocked out in fighting! I say nothing of him who, to save himself, thrusts another in the lion's way, that he may not be too little of a murderer when he puts to death that very same man on the arena.
Jeanene Reese:
Specifically, it is the lack of action the church is taking.
We have collectively decided to remain oblivious in the face of our society.
Where do we expect our neighbors to run to because it’s obvious
they cannot run to the house of the Lord
where the men and women sit in silence as
homosexuality bangs on its doors.A Church of Christ is a School of Christ. The only RESOURCE is the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle. Jeanene Reese tried to stuff the church with female SERMONIZERS but she is quite ignorant of any of the "Holy Scriptures" defined by Jesus as the Prophets and other prophecies CONCERNING ME. No one is asked about their personal habits and Homoslexuals want to BANG AGAINST THE DOOR forcing everyone to AFFIRM their practices.
Jeanene Reese:The church is AFRAID. Afraid of seeming too radical, becoming too liberal, looking too oppressive or even too dumbfounded because we don’t know when where we stand. We close our eyes and ears as if the LGBT issue, question or idea – whatever politically correct phrase one may want to use – will disappear and subside. The reality is that the community the church is so afraid to accept is actually growing.
Jeanene Reese: In the 2010 Census, over 10.7 million U.S. residents identified as gay. Does one honestly believe the number of homosexuals has subsided today? The church is stuck in time. A time where people were afraid of coming out because of the persecution from all aspects of life including their religious affiliations. Just as Reese mentioned once in class, how can we live throughout our lives, give our accounts to the Lord and still believe we are in the right even when we reject those who are not like us? How is the rejection of homosexuals any different than rejecting someone of a different skin color, nationality, political party or religion?Leviticus 20:22 repeats the very Bible-thumping verse every homophobic (and radical Christian)
uses to protect themselves from the idea of accepting homosexuals.
“If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman,
both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.
Lev. 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel,
or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel,
that giveth any of his seed unto Molech;
he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Lev. 20:3 And I will set my face against that man,
and will cut him off from among his people;
because he hath given of his seed unto Molech,
to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Lev. 20:4 And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man,
when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

Theophilus to AutolycusThis Eve, on account of her having been in the beginning deceived by the serpent, and become the author of sin, the wicked demon, who also is called Satan, who then spoke to her through the serpent, and who works even to this day in those men that are possessed by him, invokes as Eve.58 And he is called "demon" and "dragon," on account of his revolting from God. For at first he was an angel. And concerning his history there is a great deal to be said; wherefore I at present omit the relation of it, for I have also given an account of him in another place.
But also, concerning music, some have fabled that Apollo [Abaddon, Apollyon] was the inventor, and others say that Orpheus discovered the art of music from the sweet voices of the birds. Their story is shown to be empty and vain, for these inventors lived many years after the flood. And what relates to Noah, who is called by some Deucalion, has been explained by us in the book before mentioned, and which, if you wish it, you are at liberty to read.58 Referring to the bacchanalian orgies in which " Eva " was shouted, and which the Fathers professed to believe was an unintentional invocation of Eve, the authoress of all sin.
The word "abomination" is also key to understanding the context. In Hebrew, the word "to 'evah," (abomination) is almost invariably linked to idolatry. In the passages from which both verses are taken, God tells Moses to tell the people not to follow the idolatrous practices of the people around them, people who sacrificed their children to Molech, or who masturbated into the fire to offer their semen to Molech, for example. Chapter 20 starts off with the same warning.
Leviticus 20:2 Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
1Kings 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
"To 'evah" also means "something which is ritually unclean."

"Sometimes the serpent stands at the head of the human race as the MOTHER of all.[30] This, following an old and still well supported interpretation of the name Eve (ḥawwah), was apparently also the belief of one branch of the Hebrews.[31]
In Babylonian myth a serpent, apparently in a well or pool, deprived Gilgamesh of the plant which rejuvenated old age, and if it was the rightful guardian of the wonderful gift, one is reminded of the Hebrew story, now reshaped in Gen. iii., where the supernatural serpent is clearly acquainted with the properties of the tree of life.

Hdt.2.49Heredotus 2.XLIX. Now then, it seems to me that Melampus son of Amytheon was not ignorant of but was familiar with this sacrifice. For Melampus was the one who taught the Greeks the name of Dionysus and the way of sacrificing to him and the phallic procession; he did not exactly unveil the subject taking all its details into consideration, for the teachers who came after him made a fuller revelation; but it was from him that the Greeks learned to bear the phallus along in honor of Dionysus, and they got their present practice from his teaching.[2] I say, then, that Melampus acquired the prophetic art, being a discerning man, and that, besides many other things which he learned from Egypt, he also taught the Greeks things concerning Dionysus, altering few of them; for I will not say that what is done in Egypt in connection with the god and what is done among the Greeks originated independently: for they would then be of an Hellenic character and not recently introduced.[3] Nor again will I say that the Egyptians took either this or any other custom from the Greeks. But I believe that Melampus learned the worship of Dionysus chiefly from Cadmus of Tyre and those who came with Cadmus from Phoenicia to the land now called Boeotia.

to himself . I'm delaying. Looking in his hand. I can now pretty nearly cater a breakfast for myself with this. Raising his eyes. But what's this? How's this? What's this? What's this I see? How now? What means this strange conjunction? What's this coupling together? Who's this fellow with the long skirts, just like a tavern-boy? Do I quite see with my eyes? Isn't this my mistress, Anterastylis? Why, surely it is she. For some time past I've perceived that I'm set at nought. Isn't the girl ashamed to be hugging a tawny fellow in the middle of the street? I faith, I shall give him up forthwith to the executioner to be tortured all over. Surely this is a womanish race5, with their tunics hanging down to their heels. But I'm determined to accost this African female lover. To HANNO. Hallo! you woman, I say, are you not ashamed? What business have you with her, pray? Tell me.ANTHEMONIDES
Why didn't you use a drum while you were saying that? For I take you to be more of an effeminate wretch than a real man.
AGORASTOCLES
5 A womanish race: "Muliersous" generally means "fond of women." It clearly however, in this passage means "womanish," or "womanlike."
Do you understand what sort of effeminate wretch I am? Calling aloud. Servants, come out of doors, bring out some cudgels!
9 Use a drum: The priests of Cybele, who were either eunuchs, or persons of effeminate and worthless character, walked in their processions beating a "tympanum." a "drum" or "tambourine." The Captain, by his question, contemptuously implies that Agorastocles is such a character. See the Truer lentus, l. 608, and the Note.

Yea, more, if aught of prescience be bestowed
on Helenus, if trusted prophet he,
and Phoebus to his heart true voice have given,
o goddess-born, one counsel chief of all
I tell thee oft, and urge it o'er and o'er.
To Juno's godhead lift thy Ioudest prayer;
to Juno chant a fervent votive song,
and with obedient offering persuade
that potent Queen. So shalt thou, triumphing,
to Italy be sped, and leave behind

”While this verse is just as valid as every other sentence or commandment in the scripture, let us look at what the greatest commandment of all is – to love the Lord with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. How is the church fulfilling this commandment? The picking and choosing of this very phrase is sorrowful and those who follow this ideology should be ashamed.
My question to the church is who are you to not accept your neighbor regardless of his or her sexual preference? Why is the sexual preference of one community more debated and censored than murder or any other sin? How can we even consider the possibility of being like Christ if we are afraid to even consider the notion of accepting gays into our pews. The truth is simple: we are not fulling the will of the Lord.
If the church considers sex to be the boundary between acceptance and rejection, then I must say I am frustrated. I am frustrated that the very church Christ came down to save rejects those who prefer a man over a woman. I am frustrated on how ignorant and blind the church is pretending to be when in reality, the problem is staring at them right in the mirror. I am frustrated that my own peers are remaining silent or are shunned by their elders because of where they stand on the issue.
And yet, I challenge the church to take a stand and open their arms despite their own sentiments. I challenge the church to be bold. I challenge the church to wake up. Get up. Say something!
Just as Martin Luther nailed the theses, Dr. Reese banged on the doors of the church and now we wait for the sound of the cries and pleads of the oppressed to reach our ears. The church must arise. The church must accept homosexuals and reconsider the fact that our first and most important commandment of all is to love.
How can we sit in a hypocritical church that ignores the marginalized? How can you sit in silence when you hear the knocks on the door; perhaps even knocks on your door.
