"Such methods of interpretation are unworthy of
Christian scholars
[305] the Spirit leads the penitent believer to Baptism
and blesses the rite. And as to Campbellism,
that spectre which haunts many good men and terrifies
them into a good deal of bad interpretation,
shall we gain
anything by maintaining a false translation
and allowing the
Campbellites to be champions of the true,
with the
worlds scholarship on their side, as against us?
Whoever carries the weight of our controversy with the
Campbellites upon the eis
will break
throughthere is no footing there for the evolutions
of the theological skater.
Shall we
never learn that Truth has nothing to fear from a true
interpretation of any part of Gods word,
and nothing
to gain by a false one?
The truth
will suffer nothing by giving to eis
its true
signification. When the Campbellites translate in
order to in Acts ii. 38, they translate
correctly. Is a translation false because Campbellites
endorse it?
Al says that "
holding" the harps OF God means
PLAYING
the harps OF David. Al looks at Revelation 15 which
speaks of the Song of Moses. However, Moses SPAKE his
song (a writing about a diety) and then put the song into the
side of the Ark as a future MARK. When people SING the
song of moses--especially with clanging gongs and tinkling
cymbals it will TESTIFY to those people that they have
rejected the Word (Logos) of God.

The Israelites were made
Blind and Deaf because of
musical
idolatry at Mount Sinai: the sin was without redemption
and God sentenced them back to
Babylon for captivity
and death: the kings were selected to carry out this terminal
sentence.
In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul said that the Jews could not READ the
Word or HEAR the Word when it was
preached by being
read.
Only when they converted (same as being baptized) would they
be able to read
BLACK text on
BROWN
paper. Those who fiddle around with baptism are
"believeth nots" or Apistos (I will not comply) are called
treacherous and they will not be able to READ the Song of
Moses which is in the Old Testament.
Acts 15:21 For Moses
of old time hath
in every city
them that preach him,
being read in the synagogues
every sabbath day.
That was the inclusive and exclusive
PATTERNISM for
the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ (the ROCK) in the
wilderness. Jesus exampled it: He
STOOD up to
READ
and then decently
SAT DOWN for discussion.
No one PLAYS any instrument in heaven: in Revelation 14 when
you HEAR those SOUNDS-LIKE in the air (heaven) all around you,
the next angel speaks for the living and spiritual: "Judgment
is being sounded so
Preach the gospel to all
nations." Those who think that there is any
spiritual connection between a Spirit God and instrumental
sounds need not apply.
New
Wine in Old Wineskins
The New Wine Skins concept has been a highly popular theme
adopted by most who get their resources from the internet.
This PATTERNISM allows them to impose all kinds of
"exhilarating" rituals involving polished rhetoric, singing,
playing instruments, dancing and drama. This demands
that you have a NEW WINE SKIN so that it can stretch to
include all religious group in one giant "rubber" wineskin.
However, it you put new wine in an old wine skin it will NOT
burst and spill the wine. This is the MARK of very
people not interested in the gospel which Christ put in "clay
vessels" so it would not become leavened.
Job 32:18 For I am full of
matter, the spirit [breath] within me constraineth
me.
Job 32:19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no
vent;
it is ready to burst
like new bottles.
Job 32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open
my lips and answer.
Well! WHAT is it about Old Wine Skins into which you must NOT
put the Gospel of Christ? The old wineskin includes hundreds
of yeast cells just waiting for you to pour in boiled and
purified new wine: it will eat up the juice, defecate and turn
your FOOD SUPPLY into a feremented wine which will rot or turn
to vinegar.
So the New Wine Skins Cult wants to put the LEAVEN of the Jews
and Pagans into a New Wine Skin and it will BURST if you try
to seal it off from others IMPOSING their favorite patternism.
The Bible is filled with good examples--apparently never
consulted by "scholors"-- to prove that the LEAVEN is exactly
that which the New Wine Skinners IMPOSE on others and thereby
turn the Truth of Christ into rot and gas.
6.11.12 REVISED
New Wineskins Magazine is the "organ" of the Change Movement
induced by the NACC and "unity meetings" with the goal of
creating unity by forcing happy congregations to IMPOSE with
high-handed means first the Musical Worship Team and the
Musical Instruments which they claim can "praise" God.
Therefore, all of the writers and approved posters on the New
Wineskins Magazine forum are those writers who have a vendetta
against Churches of Christ because they will not bow (over)
when the Men-Now-Children pipe hoping to get even Jesus
initiated into the Gay Brotherhood which plagues all
Priesthoods.
The literate pattern--understood by my mom--
- You "boil" the grapes to express the "new wine" or you
express the "new wine" and then boil it enough to
sterilize and concentrate it. I knew how to do that
as a kid.
- You sterilize a clay jar by heat or fumigation by suphur
to REMOVE all of the leaven. I did that with Ball jars.
- At that time you coat the jar with tar inside and out.
- You pour in the new wine, boiling hot.
- You cover it and seal it and put it in a dark place:
sinking it into spring water often.
- The new wine would never ferment even
though it might oxidize and get "better."
- If it ferments it will burst even a steel bound cask.
To Preserve is:
Suntereo (g4933) soon-tay-reh'-o; from 4862 and
5083; to keep closely together, i.e. (by impl.) to conserve
(from ruin); ment. to
remember (and obey): -
keep, observe, preserve.
By putting new, fumigated or boiled
wine (complete and sanctified gospel) into a new, sealed
skin Jesus knew that the goal was to keep the wine
(gospel) from fermenting.
By winter fire-light, shaping with
keen blade
The torches to a point; his wife the while,
Her tedious labour soothing with a song,
Speeds the shrill comb along the warp,
or else With Vulcan's aid boils the
sweet must-juice down,
And skims with leaves the quivering cauldron's wave. (Virgil, Georgics 1:370).
If you intended to travel or GET DRUNK on
wine at the symposium you were smart enough that
you did not put the new wine in an old wineskin because it
was already contained leaven--the universal symbol of
pollution or evil. You did NOT put new wine in a NEW
WINESKIN if you had not first sterilized the wine to get
rid of the LEAVEN OF EVIL. No wine skin is good
enough to contain fermenting wine.
THE DIONYSUS OR OLD WINE SKIN PATTERN
I don't apologize for the TRUE images which define in no
uncertain terms the Dionysus worship first seen in Exodus 32
after which God abandoned Israel to worship the starry
host. Perhaps Christ left us a "way of escape" painted
explicitly on clay pots.
When Paul said don't get drunk on wine the literature warns
about getting fluted or piped down with wine. Rather, the
direct command is to fill up with the
WILL OF THE
LORD
and then being sober you will not make yourself look
effeminate or worse. It may be blasphemy to equate the Will of
Jesus Christ who was breathed on (spirit) by God the father to
the evil of leaven. If you have to use a BIGGER DRESS PATTERN
to include all of the World--for which Jesus did not
pray--then you may be the fulfilment of a prophetic type.
This is an image of the "Crooked Generation" or race who spent
lots of time toasting one another with the skolion and singing
the skolios songs. However, this "near wine" people had
enough moral nature that if they had something important to
speak about they voted to send out the flute-girls and
harp-boys or others to REDUCE the consumption of wine which
would utterly disable the rational or logical (LOGOS)
discussion as THE PATTERN for the ekklesia or synagogue of
Christ.
The New Wine Skins Sectarianism is not built on any Biblical
or Cultural knowledge. No one "stored" wine in any "skin"
other than for
travel or attending the New Wine Skins
Festivals honoring
Dionysus.
WHAT IS THE OLD LEAVEN [Judaism and
paganism] THEY WANT TO MOVE INTO A NEW WINESKIN PURIFIED
BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST?
1Cor. 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this
world,
or with the covetous, or
extortioners, or with idolaters;
for then must ye needs
go out of the world.
1Cor. 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know
ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole
lump?
1Cor. 5:7 Purge out therefore
the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump,
as ye are unleavened.
For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1Cor. 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven,
neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness;
but with the
unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1Cor. 5:9 I wrote unto you in an
epistle not to company with fornicators:
The Vineyard (aka wineskins pattern) agrees with recorded
history that the use of self-speak in singing and playing
instruments was intended to "make the spirits come."

"And Euripides does likewise, in his Bacchae, citing the Lydian usages
at the same time with those of Phrygia, because of their
similarity:

land of barbarians as

There are, it may

of them is without signification. 1 Corinthians
14:10
Therefore if I

speaketh shall be a barbarian
unto me. 1 Corinthians 14:11

to RESTRUCTURE all churches of Christ as the Discples

Review
There is not a Command, Example, Remote Inference or
Rationale for any godly group ever assembling for
"congregational singing with or without instrumental
noise." Therefore, how would anyone come to the
conclusion that Instruments are aids to teaching the Word of
God? They would have to ignore the simple definition
of words like SPEAK which is the opposite of poetry or
music.
On the Babylonish side, instruments were added by David long
after God had sentenced the people the people back to
Babylon and their worship to Assyrian or Babylonian style.
As the begining-time PATTERN of the musical fall from
grace at Mount Sinai and being abandoned to Babylonianism,
Revelation 17 warns about the end-time Babylon Mother of
Harlots (defined as Jerusalem under the Monarchy). She
uses lusted after "fruits" identical to the fruits in
Amos. Her speakers, singers and instrument players are
defined as sorcerers: identical to Babylon.
THE PATTERN LEADING TO BEING CAST
ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
No one who follows "Just Christ" and has read the prophets
can, without an alien agenda, think that "machines for doing
hard work" are not radically condemned. Christ in Isaiah
defined the HOT FATE and the MARKS of His enemies driving
themselves into hell. The Assyrian worship prevailed in
Jerusalem much of the time and Isaiah warns of all
NATION-HOODS who trust in kings, priests and levites.
And his breath [SPIRIT], as rushing water in a valley, reach reach
as far as the neck, and be divided, to confound the nations for their vain error; error also shall pursue
them and overtake
them.
Isaiah 30:28 LXX
Must ye always
rejoice,
and go into my holy places
continually, as they that keep a feast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice
into the mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel
Isaiah 30:29 LXX
and the Lord shall
make his glorious
voice to be heard and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten terribly, and his wrath shall be as water and violent hail. Isaiah 30:30 LXX
For by the voice of
the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he shall smite
them. Isaiah 30:31 LXX
And it shall happen to
him from every side, that they from whom their hope of
assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX
For thou shalt be
required before thy time: has it been prepared for thee also to
reign?
nay, God has prepared for thee a deep trench, wood piled fire and much wood: the wrath of the Lord shall be as a
trench kindled with sulphur. Isaiah 30:33 LXX
THE PATTERN DEFINED BY PAUL OUTLAWS
ALL SPIRITUAL AGITATION OR THE "LADED BURDEN" ALWAYS
BY WOMEN OR THEIR ALLIES FALSE PREACHERS. Restricting the
role of women was to PREVENT the outbreak of wrath or
ORGY.
Gal 5:12 As for those agitators,
I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate
themselves!

CHRYSOSTOM
IDENTIFIES those who drive you out of your
homeland:
That by lying about the Spirit OF Christ universal
condemnation of music a the MARK of telling God to "Shut
your face."
For they had compelled them to
abandon their own fatherland, their liberty, and their
heavenly kindred, and to seek an alien and foreign
one; they had cast them out of Jerusalem which is
above and free, and compelled them to wander forth as
captives and emigrants.....But in truth neither the eye
nor any other part of us is to blame, but the
depraved will only.
But if you will not allow this, why do you not mutilate
the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for
rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the
whole body?
For the ear
enchanted by the sound of a flute hath often
enervated the soul; and the perception of a

the mind, and made it frantic for pleasure. Yet this

about the Bible, lie TO God and lie ABOUT God? A note
reads:
Note 1: Paul wishes that
the circumcisers would not stop with circumcision but
go beyond it to mutilation (make themselves eunuchs)
like the priests of Cybele. A severe irony and
similar to the one in Philip. iii. 2, 3, where Paul
calls the boasters of circumcision the Concision.
Self mutilation was a recognized form of heathen
worship especially in Pessinus in Galatia and
therefore quite familiar to the readers. Thus by their
glorying in the flesh the Galatians relapsed into
their former heathenism,--Schaff
and Lightfoot. The Revised Version here has, would
even cut themselves off, the American Committee has,
would go beyond circumcision.G.A.]

Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were
not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the
works of their hands, that they should not worship devils,
and idols of gold, and silver, and brass,
and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear,
nor walk:
Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor
of their sorceries, nor of their fornication,
nor of their thefts.

mimae, balatrones . The priests of Isis and
Cybele were beggars by
profession, and under the vail of religion
were often guilty of the most criminal
excesses. Mimae were players
of the most debauched and dissolute kind;
and balatrones, in general, signifies all
scoundrels, buffoons, and parasites,
who had their name, according to the old
commentator, from Servilius Balatro.
Balatrones hoc genus omne, for omne hoc
balatronum genus, is a remarkable sort of
construction.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers (pharmakos: poison with a magical drug incantation), and whoremongers, and murderers, and
idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

astrologers of Babylon. Pharmakos (g5333) an adjective signifying "devoted to magical
arts," is used as
a noun, "a sorcerer," especially one who

have pharmakeus) and 22:15" Vine
PATTERNISM:
one of those Raca Words.
The topic of PATTERNISM is one of the continual
efforts to give vent to people who have their own PATTERNISM
which is to use the widow's purse to spread hatred against
those who think that God HAS any plan for humanity at all.
Edward Fudge says that Jesus IS the pattern. If they
teach "Just Jesus" when Paul said to KNOW only a
crucified Jesus then they can ADD a few more pieces to THEIR
dress pattern. In their lust for David the dress is a
bare skin.
If there is NO PATTERN for instrumental music in a Church of
Christ, and people make the new PATTERN include instrumental
music then the Spirit OF (preposition) Christ in the
prophets brands the instrumental patternism as devoid of
LIGHT.
No one in recorded history
REFUSED to use instruments in the presence of God because
of SILENCE as a law: "The Lord is in His Holy Temple let
all the earth keep silence before Him" (Christ in Hab 2)Since
the Bible is NOT silent and radically associates instruments
with those REFUSING to follow the Word, and because the
Presbyterians out of which the Campbells came had NEVER in
recorded history used instruments, there was no need to
construct a Law of Silence. That law is owned by the
Disciples / Christian churches / and new wineskinners. THEY
proposed there was SILENCE (not being really alert) THEY had
the right to IMPOSE instruments. Non-instrumentalists
insist that there is no command, example or remote pattern
for imposing instruments in the Bible School, those who
impose have to hallucinate any rationale.

Boles on Unity: Includes the basis for fraternal
unity in the 1832 agreement of a few men
W.R. Walker, in Christian
Standard, May 27, 1939, said: "There are
two areas in our religious living in which the
authority of Christ must be recognized. The first
embraces all his teaching and that of his inspired
followers,
the `vocal area' ;
but there is
another area, the `area of silence."' He further said:
"I am persuaded that Christ has
authority in the `areas of silence.'
Christ, by his silence, in every
situation concerning which he has left no direct
teaching,
has bestowed on ME this authority to act for
myself."
Boles.
Here are the two standards or
rules recognized by many in the "Christian Church,"
namely, that of "walking by faith," and that of
"walking by opinion." W.R. Walker calls the opinions
of man in the "areas of silence" "the
authority of Christ." This is
tantamount to saying that man's opinions in the "areas of silence"
are of equal force with the word of God.
I join issue with him on this point. There can be no unity in the
"area of silence,"
as there can be no unity on opinions when each man
claims the authority to do what is right in his own
eyes. This would violate every scripture that
God has given instructing his people to be "of the same mind, the same judgment
of one accord."
Remember
that the Musical Discorders IMPOSE because they say
their opinion is the command of Christ.
