Psalms 35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts,
        they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Isaiah 28:22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong:
        for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption,
        even determined upon the whole earth.

The SPEAKING in speaking with tongues identifies INSTRUMENTAL INSTRUMENTS.
Jeremiah.15.The.Mark.of.The.Beast.html

The BEAST is Theiron meaning A New Style of Music and Satyric (perverse) Drama.
The MARK is following with Apollyon's LOCUSTS or adulterous Musicians called SORCERERS to be CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
Pl. Bac. 1.1 Note: Your Bacchanalian den: "Bacchanal" was properly the place where the Bacchanalia,  or orgies, were celebrated. He styles them "Bacchantes," and their house a "Bacchanal," in allusion both to their names and their habits

7 Mischievous serpent: "Mala tu's bestia." Literally, "you are an evil beast;" which sounds harsh to an English ear, even when applied to such an animal as Bacchis.
Baccha  Mainas or Thuias,

13 A soft cloak: It was the custom at entertainments for the revellers to exchange their ordinary clothes for fine vestments, elaborately embroidered.

5 A womanish race: "Muliersous" generally means "fond of women." It clearly however, in this passage means "womanish," or "womanlike."
Jeremiah 15:17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced;
        I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

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
Jude 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

THE DIRECT COMMAND:

2 Peter III. This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them
        I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
[2]  that you should 
        remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
        and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

WHY YOU MUST SPEAK THAT WHICH HAS BEEN WRITTEN OR BE MARKED
 
[3]  knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, [Magikos, magi]
        walking after their own lusts,

THEM MARK OF THOSE SO MARKED.

THE ISSUE IS THE CENI PRINCIPLE spread all through the Bible and defended by all literate scholars in history. Just now we have come to the END of a period which is marked with the loss of ALL TRUTH: we have to work out our own salvation (Shelly etal) by teaming up with God to get a new set of Scriptures to OUR changed culture.  If the frenzied loss of all truth by most of the once-Christian colleges is not a MARK I don't know of one. Pauls warning still RESTRICTS truth to that delivered by the prophets and apostles both led by Christ the Spirit.

2 Peter III. This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them
        I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you;
[2]  that you should 
        A. remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets,
        B. and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior:

That ends the argument about SILENCE unless you like Shelly can now hear those surplus words the first believers could not stuff in the first Bible.

Why wouldn't Peter define the CENI when he was an eye and ear witness?  He did but just now we are a JUST JESUS people and what Jesus TAUGHT is not the basis of unity.  They declare that the divisive epistles of the divided apostles should NOT be the subject of teaching:  unless, of course they yank the out by their roots.

2Pet. 3:3  Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

LUST: 1939. epithumia, ep-ee-thoo-mee´-ah; from 1937; a longing (especially for what is forbidden):  concupiscence, desire, lust (after)

You will note that when the Pope called for Jubilee 2000 lots of people jumped on the coattails: this would be an ATONEMENT marked with JUBILATING praise and everyone would return to the Mother Church.  Another fact in history is that the HOLINESS OF SIN is preached: let us sin that grace may abound. Oh, we know we are sinning but GRACE gonna cover it.

When the people could not control the return of Christ they MOCKED and walked in THEIR OWN LUSTS.  Aphrodite has some of the same characteristics of Lucifer and of Zoe in that Venus worship was involed.

Xenophon, Constitution 2. In the other Greek states parents who profess to give their sons the best education place their boys under the care and control of a moral tutor as soon as they can understand what is said to them, and send them to a school to learn letters, music and the exercises of the wrestling-ground. Moreover, they soften the children's feet by giving them sandals, and pamper their bodies with changes of clothing; and it is customary to allow them as much food as they can eat.

12] I think I ought to say something also about intimacy with boys, since this matter also has a bearing on education. In other Greek states, for instance among the Boeotians, man and boy live together, like married people; elsewhere, among the Eleians, for example, consent is won by means of favours [grace]. Some, on the other hand, entirely forbid suitors to talk with boys.

[13] The customs instituted by Lycurgus were opposed to all of these. If someone, being himself an honest man, admired a boy's soul and tried to make of him an ideal friend without reproach and to associate with him, he approved, and believed in the excellence of this kind of training. But if it was clear that the attraction lay in the boy's outward beauty, he banned the connexion as an abomination; and thus he caused lovers to abstain from boys no less than parents abstain from sexual intercourse with their children and brothers and sisters with each other.

[14] I am not surprised, however, that people refuse to believe this. For in many states the laws are not opposed to the indulgence of these appetites.

   Eudemian Ethics 1.[20] for there are many human attributes that are not bestowed by nature nor acquired by study but gained by habituation--bad attributes by those trained in bad habits and good attributes by those trained in good ones. Or does happiness come in none of these ways, but either by a sort of elevation of mind inspired by some divine power, as in the case of persons possessed by a nymph or a god, or, alternatively, by fortune? for many people identify happiness with good fortune.

And it is worth while to adduce also the fact that those men of old who invented names thought that madness was neither shameful nor disgraceful;

Bacchae. But this god is a prophet--for Bacchic revelry and madness have in them much prophetic skill. [300]  For whenever the god enters a body in full force, he makes the frantic to foretell the future. He also possesses a share of Ares' nature. For terror sometimes flutters an army under arms and in its ranks before it even touches a spear; [305]  and this too is a frenzy from Dionysus. You will see him also on the rocks of Delphi, bounding with torches through the highland of two peaks, leaping and shaking the Bacchic branch, mighty throughout Hellas. But believe me, Pentheus; [310] do not boast that sovereignty has power among men, nor, even if you think so, and your mind is diseased, believe that you are being at all wise. Receive the god into your land, pour libations to him, celebrate the Bacchic rites, and garland your head.

Dionysus will not compel women [315]  to be modest in regard to Aphrodite, but in nature [modesty dwells always] you must look for that. For she who is modest will not be corrupted in Bacchic revelry. Do you see?

[862] Will this white foot e'er join the night-long dance? what time in Bacchic ecstasy I toss my neck to heaven's dewy breath, like a fawn, that gambols 'mid the meadow's green delights, when she hath escaped the fearful chase,

clear of the watchers, o'er the woven nets; while the huntsman, with loud halloo, harks on his hounds' full cry, and she with laboured breath at lightning speed bounds o'er the level water-meadows, glad to be far from man amid the foliage of the bosky grove.

What is true wisdom, or what fairer boon has heaven placed in mortals' reach,

than to gain the mastery o'er a fallen foe? What is fair is dear for aye.
Though slow be its advance, yet surely moves the power of the gods, correcting those mortal wights, that court a senseless pride, or,

in the madness of their fancy, disregard the gods. Subtly they lie in wait, through the long march of time, and so hunt down the godless man.

For it is never right in theory or in practice to o'erride the law of custom. This is a maxim cheaply bought: whatever comes of god, or in time's long annals, has grown into a law upon a natural basis, this is sovereign.

What is true wisdom, or what fairer boon has heaven placed in mortals' reach,
than to gain the mastery o'er a fallen foe?

The Horae were among the mathematici 'learned mothers' who defined the Zodiac and the star movements marking the seasons, one translation of the word 'hora.' Another is 'hour,' and the Horae developed various means to mark time. Hence the word for time keeping, 'horology' and the French word for clock 'horlogue.'

The patriarchs became the most incensed over the sacred women of Agape. Among their symbols were the lotus, lily, and dove,

all representations of the vulva.
Among their mysteries was ritual cunnilingus, which demands respect for female pleasure and the female body.

This aspect of the sacred feminine was among the first to be erased. The effort began early. Originally, the land of the 'Lotus Eaters' was in the Amazon territories of North Africa, then was moved further away still, to beyond the Southern Sea. Source

"Jubal, who was born of the same mother with him, exercised himself in music; (7) and invented the psaltery and the harp.

He procured what tended to the pleasures of the body by that method; and first of all invented the art of making brass. Lamech was also the father of a daughter, whose name was Naamah. And because he was so skillful in matters of divine revelation, that he knew he was to be punished for Cain's murder of his brother, he made that known to his wives.

"Nay, even while Adam was alive, it came to pass that the posterity of Cain became exceeding wicked, every one successively dying, one after another, more wicked than the former. They were intolerable in war, and vehement in robberies; and if any one were slow to murder people, yet was he bold in his profligate behavior, in acting unjustly, and doing injuries for gain.

"In pagan traditions, musical instruments are invented by gods or demi-gods, such as titans (Seitans).
