SPIRIT is never a person: it is figurative or a PARABLE to hide from all who buy and sell dogma. God put's His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus for the last time.

John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the flesh profiteth nothing:
        the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are life.

Col. 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands,
        in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Col. 2:12 Buried with him in baptism,
        wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God,
        who hath raised him from the dead.
Col. 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
        hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

First Adversary Act REFUTED:

Is. 54:13 And all thy children shall be TAUGHT of the Lord;
         and great shall be the peace of thy children.

John 6:61 When Jesus knew in himself that Fuller-Wimberites murmured at it,
        he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the SON OF MAN  ascend up where he was before?

The Allen SPIRITUS says that JESUS WAS GOD

Num. 23:19 God IS NOT A MAN, that he should lie;
        neither the SON OF MAN, that he should repent:
        hath he said, and shall he not do it?
        or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

THOSE WHO WERE REARED IN A CHURCH OF CHRIST WOULD KNOW.
ALL of the "spirit" words except that of Apollon and His Musical worship team means WIND or even FLATULENCE.
Spirit is used figuratively or as a parable to explain how ALWAYS God puts His WORDS (Regulative Principle) into the MOUTH of a Moses, the Prophets and LASTLY into the MOUTH of the MAN Jesus of Nazareth.  Leonard Allen says that THE Holy Spirit as a person is REQUIRED to make the Father-Son INTELLIGIBLE .

1Kings 22:22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
        And he said, I will go forth,
        and I will be a LYING SPIRIT in the mouth of all his prophets.
        And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

Jer. 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts,
        Because ye speak this word, behold,
        I will make my WORDS in thy MOUTH fire,
        and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

Jesus would define the Jewish-Allen charge BLASPHEMY.
John would define that view as marking ANTICHRIST.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the FLESH profiteth nothing:
        the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.

Bible 101a understands that "spirit" means WIND or even FLATULENCE but is used in a figurative or parable sense to define how God puts His WORDS directly into the MOUTH of a Moses, the Prophets and LASTLY the MAN Jesus of Nazareth.  Spirit is a "god" as SPIRITUS of Apollon leader of the Locusts-Musicians MARKED by singers or instrument players--SORCERERS.

John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.
        For Jesus knew from the beginning
        who they were that believed not,
        and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you,
        that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

The Wimber-Lowry-Allen DIVINAS say that there is a THE Holy Spirit Person who must TEACH YOU.

Jude warned against the Anti-Word's as those FOREORDAINED who rose up in Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Play.   Leonard Allen missed Exodus 32 forward.

Job 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth;
        I will SPEAK in the anguish of my SPIRIT;
        I will COMPLAIN in the bitterness of my SOUL
Job 15:13 That thou turnest THY SPIRIT against God,
        and lettest such WORDS go out of thy MOUTH?

 Micah 2:7 O thou that art named the house of Jacob,
        is the spirit OF the Lord straitened? are these his doings?
        do not MY words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

2Sam. 23:2 The SPIRIT OF the Lord spake BY me,
        and his WORD was in my TONGUE

Job 15:13 That thou turnest THY SPIRIT against God,
        and lettest such WORDS go out of THY MOUTH.

Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the BOOK of the LORD, and READ:
        no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate:
        for my MOUTH it hath commanded,
        and his SPIRIT it hath gathered them.

Is. 59:21
As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord;
My SPIRIT that is upon thee,
        and my WORDS which I have put in thy MOUTH,
 shall not depart out of thy mouth,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

So when we trace the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, we find an odd history: beginnings at Cane Ridge (1801)—“America’s Pentecost”—and eventually, after some twists and turns, a residence in Bible deism valley.

Theophilus to Autolycus

Not as the poets and writers of myths talk of the sons of gods begotten from intercourse [with women],
        but as truth expounds, the Word, that always exists,
        residing within the heart of God.
For before anything came into being He had Him as a counsellor, being His own mind and thought.

But when God wished to make all that He determined on, He begot this Word, uttered,⁴⁷ the first-born of all creation,             not Himself being emptied of the Word [Reason],
        but having begotten Reason,
        and always conversing with His Reason.
And hence the holy writings teach us, and all the spirit-bearing [inspired] men, one of whom, John, says,
        "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God," ⁴⁸
        showing that at first God was alone, and the Word in Him.
        Then he says, "The Word was God; all things came into existence through Him;
        and apart from Him not one thing came into existence."
        The Word, then, being God, and being naturally 49
        [That is, being produced by generation, not by creation produced from God
        whenever the Father of the universe wills,
        He sends Him to any place; and He, coming, is both heard and seen,
        being sent by Him, and is found in a place.

And first, they taught us with one consent that God made all things out of nothing; for nothing was coeval with God: but He being His own place, and wanting nothing,
.        and existing before the ages, willed to make man by whom He might be known;
.         for him, therefore, He prepared the world.
         For he that is created is also needy; but he that is uncreated stands in need of nothing.

God, then, having His own Word internal within His own bowels,
        begat Him, emitting Him
       along with His own wisdom before all things.

He had this Word as a helper in the things that were created by Him, and by Him He made all things.

He is called "governing principle", because He rules, and is Lord of all things fashioned by Him.
He, then, being Spirit of God, and governing principle, and wisdom, and power of the highest,
came down upon the prophets, and through them spoke of the creation of the world and of all other things. 
(This was the Spirit of Christ, 1 Peter 1:11; Revelation 19:10)

For the prophets were not when the world came into existence,

but the wisdom [Spirit in this instance is Sophia] of God which was in Him, and
........... His holy Word which was always present with Him.

Tertullian an inventor of trias c. ad 206: But, first, I shall discuss His essential nature, and so the nature of His birth will be understood. We have already asserted that God made the world, and all which it contains,          by His Word, and Reason, and Power.  It is abundantly plain that your philosophers, too,  regard the Logos-that is, the Word and Reason-          as the Creator of the universe. And we, in like manner, hold that the Word, and Reason, and Power, by which we have said God made all, have SPIRIT as their proper and essential     substratum, in which        the Word has in being to give forth UTTERENCES, .......and REASON abides to dispose and arrange,   ......and POWER is over all to execute. We have been taught that He (reason) proceeds forth from God, and in that PROCESSION He is GENERATED;       so that He is the SON of God,       and is called God from unity of substance with God. For God, too, is a Spirit. Even when the RAY is shot from the sun, ..........it is still part of the parent mass; the sun will still be in the           ray, because it is a ray of the sun- ..........there is no division of substance,           but merely an extension. Thus Christ is Spirit OF Spirit, and God OF God, as light OF light is kindled. [Jesus: My WORDS are SPIRIT and LIFE The material matrix remains entire and unimpaired, though you DERIVE from it any number of shoots possessed of its qualities; so, too, that which has come forth out of God is at once God and the Son of God, and the two are one. In this way also, as He is Spirit of Spirit and God of God, He [SPIRIT] is made a second in manner of existence-in position, not in nature; and He did not withdraw from the original source,            but went forth. This ray of God, then, as it was always foretold in ancient times, descending into a certain virgin, and made FLESH in her womb, ..........is in His birth God and man united.

Campbell, Thomax, Trinity The relationship of Word to God was the same as the relationship of a word to a thought. And so this is the most common understanding among the church fathers. The the word is the SON of the speaker as FATHER then there is ot problem trying to sort out how a LITERAL son of god could be equal with the Father or of the same age. 1st. A word is a sign or representative of a thought or an idea,  and is the idea in an audible or visible form. It is the exact image of that invisible thought  which is a perfect secret to all the world until it is expressed. 2d. All men think or form ideas by means of words or images; so that no man can think without words or symbols of some sort. 3d. Hence it follows that the word and the idea which it represents,          are co-etaneous, or of the same age or antiquity. ....... .It is true the word may not be uttered or born          for years or ages after the idea exists, ........but still the word is just as old as the idea. 4th. The idea and the word are nevertheless distinct from each other, though the relation between them is the nearest known on earth. ........An idea cannot exist without a word,          nor a word without an idea. 5th. He that is acquainted with the WORD, is acquainted with the IDEA,          for the idea is wholly in the word. By putting together the above remarks on the term word,  we have a full view of what John intended to communicate. As a word is an exact IMAGE of an IDEA, so is "The WORD" an exact image of the invisible God. As a WORD cannot exist without an idea, nor an idea without a word,         so God never was without "The Word,"          nor "The Word" without God; or as a word is of equal age, or co-etaneous with its idea,         so "The Word" and God are co-eternal. And as an idea does not create its word nor a word its idea; so God did not create "The Word," nor the "Word" God.

Matt.Dabbs.A.Discipleship.Movement: He CAST A VISION.

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: Heb 12:25

Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Y
        et 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 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

For our God is a consuming fire Heb 12:29.

Matt Dabbs of Ryan Christian agree:

"An instrumental SERVICE  takes a tremendous amount of time, energy, and coordination. If your church will still have an a cappella service, assure that the non-instrumental gathering has just as much attention put towards it as in the past. Those attending either STYLE  of worship deserve BEST in terms of preparation and creativity."

Ex. 1:14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

g5656.  {abodah, ab-o-daw´; or h∂dwøbSo {abowdah, ab-o-daw´; from 5647; work of any kind:—act, bondage, + bondservant, effect, labour, ministering(-try), office, service(-ile, -itude), tillage, use, work, x wrought.

1Chr. 28:21 And, behold, the courses of the priests and the Levites, even they shall be with thee for all the service of the house of God: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship every willing skilful man, for any manner of service: also the princes and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.

The Exodus crowd engaged in instrumental and perverted SERVICE and God abandoned them BACK to their Egyptian abominations.

The SERVICE of Apollon came to Egypt before the nation was destroyed and the Jews escaped.

"An Ethiopian/Egyptian/Greek connection looms when we learn from noted Egyp- tologist E. A. Wallis Budge that: Osiris . . . took great pleasure in music and dancing. He, therefore, carried along with him a train of musicians, of whom nine were virgins, most excellent singers and expert in many other things (whom the Greeks called Muses) of whom Apollon (i.e., Horus) was the captain and was therefore the Leader of the Muses.

Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me,
         O children of Israel? saith the Lord.
        Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?
        and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Amos 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
        and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;
        saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

"So was Apollyon a Greek transliteration of Apollo, a Latin term for the Sun God? On the plane of scholarly opinion, Hensius says indeed Apollyon in Revelation 9:11 means Apollo.

"In the Edinburgh Encyclopedia (ed. David Brewster) (J.&E. Parker, 1832) Vol. II at 230, it records:

On this passage, Hensius makes the following observation: There can be no doubt that the Pythian Apollo is the same as the Ob and Abaddon of the Hebrews which the Greeks translated literally as Apollyon.

h6 ad´; a primitive root; properly, to wander away, i.e. lose oneself; by implication to perish (causative, destroy):—break, destroy(-uction), + not escape, fail, lose, (cause to, make) perish, spend, x and surely, take, be undone, x utterly, be void of, have no way to flee.

h10. abaddoh, ab-ad-do´; the same as 9, miswritten for 11; a perishing:—destruction.
h11.   n, ab-ad-done´; intensive from 6; abstract, a perishing; concrete, Hades:—destruction.
h12. abdan, ab-dawn´; from 6; a perishing:—destruction.

According to Greek legend, Apollo, the Sun god (Sol god or Soul god) who founded the great Temple at Delphi, usually took the form of a serpent. In the bible he is Apollyon, the "angel of the bottomless pit" in Revelation 9:11.
The Kingdom does not come with observation meaning Religious Observations which Paul defines as Lying Wonders of those God gladly sends strong delusions.  Worship is in the PLACE of the human spirit giving attention to Truth, the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle which outlaws all human input between the MASCULINE READ or SPEAK.

Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?

Matt Dabbs of Ryan Christian BLASPHEMES:  In closing, if the Lord is LEADING your church to pursue instrumental worship, pursue it passionately and on your knees in prayer. May the Lord be magnified in all our services.
        May we grow more like Jesus as we honor him in worship.
        And when the lost in this world attend our assemblies,
        may they fall on their knees and proclaim “God is in this place.”

Romans 15 says that the only way to glorify God is to "use one mind and one mouth to speak that which is written for or learning or Scripture.

Anyone who can find Instrumental Worship in Holy Scripture had to be MAD or DELUSIONAL.  In such a state they, says Jude, are FORORDAINED to this task.

1Cor. 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,
        and all speak with tongues,
        and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers,
        will they not say that ye are MAD?

Phaedrus and Socrates Plato mad Prophesying

Sp the meaning of the name Apollon will be "moving together," whether in the poles of heaven as they are called,or in the harmony of song, which is termed concord, because he moves all together by an harmonious power, as astronomers and musicians ingeniously declare.

And he is the God who presides over harmony, and makes all things move together, both among Gods and among men. And as in the words akolouthos and akoitis the a is substituted for an o, so the name Apollon is equivalent to omopolon;

Now the suspicion of this destructive power still haunts the minds of some who do not consider the true value of the name, which, as I was saying just now, has reference to all the powers of the God, who is the single one, the everdarting, the purifier, the mover together (aplous, aei Ballon, apolouon, omopolon).

The name of the Muses and of music would seem to be derived from their making philosophical enquiries (mosthai); and Leto is called by this name, because she is such a gentle Goddess, and so willing (ethelemon) to grant our requests; or her name may be Letho, as she is often called by strangers- they seem to imply by it her amiability, and her smooth and easy-going way of behaving.

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.

The Muses are the Locusts as Apollon's Musical Worship Team.  They were dirty adulteresses who became the SHEPHERDESSES.

There were no Prophets in Corinth: prophesying is speaking the WORD by learning or by inspiration.

1Cor. 14:24 But if all PROPHESY, and there come in one that believeth not,
        or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
1Cor. 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
        and so falling down on his face he will worship God,
        and report that God is in you of a truth.



The Abomination of Desolation: first defined as the instrumental-trinitarian worship at Mount Sinai.

The New Wineskins Magazine was spawned by men bonded with the NACC relaunching the effort under the guise of UNITY intending to restructure all historic Churches of Christ into affirming or confirming to the instrumental music sect or be subject to "taking an AXE to the escalated tern ANTI-INSTRUMENTAL SECTARIANS. Many RACA words were invented based on repudiating the Regulative Principle claiming that it was invented by ignorant men. Because there were no commands, examples or inferences they could impose their preference which, in published opinions made that the teachings of Jesus. Anyone resisting their "inordinate affections" was resisting God.

Stark  In the Stark Warlick Debate,  thought of worship as the emotion of the soul and that it might "produce singing, shouting, praising, leaping, dancing, hand clapping, or thanksgiving and such should not be suppressed by man made rules."

These commands of men are the creed of their division of God's people.  Like Paul's '"man of sin," they have taken their place in the temple of God and assume to speak as God.  God put it into his sanctuary by command; and if he has not taken it out, it remains there, unless some one claiming superior authority to God shall as God put it out of the temple of God. That character Paul calls "the man of sin who opposseth and exalteth himself above all that is called God: The Doom of such is HELL.  I need no authority for using it; for where there is no law, there is no transgression. [p.15]

[p. 18] Shall Alexander Campbell... say to the sweet singer or the wonderful musician: "Keep still and let expressive silence muse his praise?"  Shame on such dogmatism, when God has given us such varied talent. Who put the twelfth commandment into God's law, saying: "Thou shalt not have an instrument of music in the congregaton of the saints?" David, the destructive critic, when like the "man of sin," he sits in the temple of God, says: "Thou shalt not." That is the cornerstone of his departure--the foundation of his schism.  Their church is built upon it, and a few old fogies have made it a test of fellowship.  God will shake their thounder out of them and put some lightning into them one of these days.

Keith Brenton | September 2, 2011 at 12:25 PM | Reply Rex, I don’t believe that there is a single passage in all of scripture which was written to directly address the issue of instrumental worship. I have to conclude that it simply wasn’t an issue, and was never meant to be. (Except, of course, by Satan — for whom any opportunity to divide the body of Christ is acceptable.)

Contrary to Unity in Diversity the end-time apostates demand meaning that YOU must give up YOUR property to be UNITED with we musica-theatrical boys and girls, Jesus now as HOLY SPIRIT gifted APT ELDERS. They will be easy to identify because they will CAST OUT the cunning craftsmen or sophists meaning speakers for hire, singers or instrument players.  Jesus inspired Paul to say that these are MARKS of those LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.  They lie about there being nothing in the Bible to stop their rampage and the Lye in wait where music was the best way to SET AN AMBUSH. They are Purpose Driven and the year ad 2000 is the exact time frame for the KAIROS meaning what they think as the best time to MOUNT AN ATTACK.  There can be no turning back. Jude speaks of the instrumenta-trinitarian (the tripple goddesses) attack at Mount Sinai.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
        it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
        that ye should earnestly contend for the faith [The Word, Logos, Regulative Principle]
        which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
        who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
        ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,

WHAT THOSE SCHOLARS SELLING SIMONY CERTIFICATES DO NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW

The Craftsmen: speakers, singers, instrument players (sorcerers and parasites) WILL BE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.
This fulfils Christ prophecy in Isaiah 30 that those who go in procession to Jerusalem to burn infants will be repeated when God destroys His ENEMIES to the sound of Lucifer's wind, string and percussion instruments.

The command of Christ the Rock from the wilderness onward defined a ONE-PIECE PATTERN for the assembly called once a week to quarantine them from the usual seventh day worship and to assembe to Rest, Read and Rehearse the WORD of God.  The serpent in the Garden Eden is defined by the Spirit OF Christ as a singing and harp-playing prostitute. Jesus inspired John to warn against the end-time Babylon mother of harlots in Revelation 17. In Revelation 18 the emasculated priests were called "lusted after fruits" (as in Amos 8) as any and all religious teknokrats such as speakers, singers, instruments or even prostitutes defined by the "brides" and the grinders at the millstone.  John calls them SORCERERS as inteed all musical terms and names of instruments point to women or the emasculated "prophesiers" as sorcerers performing as exorcists and "making long prayers (hymns)" to fleece the widows.

There is NO meter in the Bible: you could not "sing" it tunefully if your life depended on it: that is PREDESTINED.

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

X. the Word or Wisdom of God, personified as his agent in creation and world-government,

Knowing the ugly meaning of the "psallo" words understood by the translators, Paul commanded that we SPEAK that which is written for our learning. Speak as LEXIS is the opposite of ODE and Psallo points to the Jews and others "worship of the starry host" including Apollon-Abaddon as the only PERSONIFIED SPIRIT and the leader of the Muses (locusts) as his and other's musical worship team.  Psallo points primarily to Apollo's making his bow string "twang" to send forth a "singing" arrow into the heart of those who opposed him. He carried Herme's (KAIROS) lyre which he used to enable shooting Love Arrows into his male and female worshipers.

A Psalm is a poem: a large number warrior attack chants. 
The name of psaltery entered Christian literature in the 3rd century B.C. translation of the Old Testament called the Septuagint where, in the Psalms, nebel was translated psalterion. Thus, Nebuchadnezzar's idolatrous ensemble included the Aramic psantria. Notice, also, that the book of Psalms has also become known as the Psalter (or psalterium), from the hymns sung with this harp. Source

Psalmos also appears in the LXX as equivalent to the Hebrew word neginah [5058]. This Hebrew term is used to describe a wide variety of songs. Neginah is translated by psalmos in Lam 3:14 (song), in Lam 5:14 (music) and in Ps 69:12 (song). It is striking to observe that in the LXX translation of Lam 3:14 and Ps 69:12, psalmos, or its verbal form, is used for songs that are not only uninspired but are in fact the product of the wicked, even drunkards, who mocked God and His word. The Hebrew term neginah is used elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures of: the songs of the wicked, Job 30:9 (song); the inspired praise of God, Psalm 61 title (Neginah-a song performed on a stringed instrument); and the uninspired praisd of the Lord composed by King Hezekiah, Is 38:20 (my songs).

Christ Holy Spirit:  Exclude rhetoricians, singers, instrument players. REFUTED by Matt Dabbs, Patrick Mead, Jay Guin, Mark Powell, John Mark Hicks: OF is a preposition: the Spirit OF God is His BREATH.  Spirit literally means ONLY WIND: in a figurative sense it is the BREATH of God which Breathed into Jesus without METRON or musical meter. Jesus SPOKE only what He heard from the Father. His disciples will speak what they heard from Jesus from the Prophets and Apostles. A REAL church of Christ is built upon or EDUCATED by the Prophets and Apostles.

One might think for all of the deliberate sowing of discord and DISUNITY someone would find a command, example or remote inference of God calling the Godly SECT out of their rest for group singing with or without instruments. One might think it impossible to get a preaching degree or even a Phd in Bible and all of the ancient languages and say--without blushing--that there is nothing negative about instruments in the whole Bible. Even worse might be to say that there is no command NOT to make noise while pretending to collect huge ticket prices in the name of Jesus or even common decency.

There is no article "the" in the text. Holy means wholly, pure or without flesh and blood. Spirit literally means WIND and is used figuratively of the invisible "BREATH" of God. The unity of the spirit (no uppercase) is connected to the "body." The "body" or Church of Christ is UNITED when it obeys the direct command to "use one mind and one mouth" to speak "that which is written for our learning." That is the PATTERN for everyone around the globe speaking the same things.

Both male AND female are to keep quiet and peaceable because the ONE-PIECE pattern is "that all might be saved or SAFE and come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH which is THE WORD, Logos or Regulative principle.  Women and a few rare males marked by singing and playing claimed that the gods spoke to them in their visual-audible madness for decent people.  The meaning of IS IS that:

1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE God,  [Theos]
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;

Jesus was not even Lord [Kurios] until the One God gave Him that office.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God [Theos] hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord [Kurios] and Christ.

Antichrists DENY the One God the Father and One Son, the Man Jesus.

1John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
        He is ANTICHRIST, that denieth the Father and the Son.

If you hear voices (Shelly) or See visions (Lucado) or hear "a" spirit (Atchley) say that God commands instrumental praise then you understand BLASPHEMY by claiming that God said something He universally connects to being abandoned to BURNING.

Those who hear A spirit should know that the personified spirit is called Abaddon-Apollon and his trinity clan. As obvious ANTITHESIS Scripture uses a word literally meaning only WIND and in a figurative sense, the BREATH of God. David was king of a nation 'turned over to worship the starry host' and we might not follow Rick Atchley who heard "a" spirit telling him to impose the same practice. Even so, he seemed to understand the "trinity" concept taught by all historic scholars before H. Leo. Boles.

Psa. 33:6 By the [1] WORD of THE [2] LORD were the heavens made;
        and all the host of them by the [3] BREATH [spirit] of his mouth.
Psa. 33:7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap:
        he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
Psa. 33:8 Let all the earth fear the LORD:
        let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
Psa. 33:9 For HE SPAKE and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

The Muses in Revelation 18 are called Sorcerers.
The Muses in the Greek known by Paul and all literate Bible Students were:
Hes. Th.  the Muses of Olympus, daughters of Zeus who holds the aegis: “Shepherds of the wilderness, wretched things of shame, mere bellies,
        we know how to speak many false things as though they were true;
        but we know, when we will, to utter true things.”
Bellies or Parasites: all religious craftsmen gave rise to the Greek PARASITE.

Christian Antithesis:  Ruwah-Pneuma litterally only WIND: Figurative of the BREATH of God (without measure or metron, musical measure).

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE.

The Spirit in Ephesians 5 is the Will of the Lord
        Speak or Lexis is the Opposite of Ode
IS the Word of Christ in Colossians 3
        For Teaching and Admonishing one another.
In Romans 15 the only resource is "That which is written for our learning" or "Scripture for Comfort."
        The act is "Using One Mind and One Mouth."
        This is the ONLY way to glorify or Praise the Author and Finisher.

Unity of the Spirit or Word must EXCLUDE speakers, singers or instrument players the source of all sowing of discord.

Eph. 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you
        that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

Jesus established a Little Flock of lost spirits: it is the SECT that is called the WAY. The Road is a PATTERN and it is very exclusive and narrow.  Close to none find their way past the mercinary religionists using MUSIC purpose driven to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter. There is no "The" or Uppercase "S" connected with the BREATH of God.

No self-exhibitionists can be called meek and lowly!

Eph. 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Eph. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

New Wineskins began with the premise of creating dissociation or "upsetting comfort zones" as a way to in the words of Rick Atchley "teach our youth to leave our movement." The Wineskinners (Dionysiacs) major in sowing discord primarily against the historic Church of Christ.

John wrote that ANTICHRIST refutes:

Eph. 4:5 One Lord, one FAITH, one baptism,
Eph. 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Antichrist says that the Lord Jesus is God. John Mark Hicks and the LU inventors of tritheism says that there are THREE CENTERS of Consciousness. He references Karl Barth but Barth denies it.

The SPIRIT is the WORD, Logos or the Regulative Principle: it EXCLUDES rhetoricians, singers or instrument players.

FAITH is the Law of Christ in this Creation RESERVED FOR FIRE against those who first appear as instrumental-trinitarian and perverted idolaters at Mount Sinai.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
         and denying the only Lord God,
         and our Lord Jesus Christ.   [Meaning trinitarians]
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
        though ye once knew this, how that the Lord,
        having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
        afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Jesus said that God HIDES from the Wise or sophists: rhetoricians, singers or instrument players.

Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES: Christ in Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 defines hypocrites as SPEAKERS for hire, singers or instrument players.

Sorcerers practice rhetoric, singing, playing instruments or inducint DRUGS with SONGS. Sorcers are CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

The ONE PIECE PATTERN is to make Disciples. Disciples are Students. Disciples do not hire hirelings to perform "worship observations" to which the Kingdom does not come.

Ephesians 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry,
        for the edifying [educating] of the body of Christ:
Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of THE FAITH (Logos, Regulative Principle)
        and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
        unto a perfect man,
        unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children,
        tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
        by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

The Vineyard-New Winskins Movement was the MOTHER of historic affliction and sowing discord and the sippers think that unity means taking the Mark of the Beast defined as A New Style of Music and Satyric (cappella) worship.  MANY (most) are called or invited but FEW (mikros) are chosen. They are the Little Flock in but not OF the World, the Kosmos, the Ecumenical or the kingdom of the Devil.  Kairos was the demon son of Zeus

The New Wineskins Magazine went with the Pope's final Jubilee. Both the day of atonement and the Scape Goat was a product of the Nadab and Abihu folly.  The Shelly etal pattern was the Aztec's 52 year and 52 week Jubilee. Up to 20,00 of the slaves (conservatives) were sacrificed, their old houses (congregation) burned down, a fire lit in the breast of the victim and run to the new houses to LIGHT THE FIRE.   The Final Jubilee when the "audience" was liberated from the accumulators and thrusting in the sickle are marks of Dionysus (Bacchus) as the old wineskins' god.

Kairos is right on time also: Kairos is Hermes or Mercury the ANTIChrist Logos or messenger of God: He is the New Hermeneutics replacing the One Mediator, the Man Jesus Christ with A spirit which now speaks to the musicators. The personified spirit is named Apollon or Abaddon and he is the leader of the Muses (locusts) and all religious musicians.

Caerus is sometimes considered a daimon spirit rather than a God due to his aggressive nature towards humans. He sought to drink their blood, killing many to do so. Kairos or Caerus is the yougest son of Zeus: [as the new spawn pronounces Je-Zeus to fool you.] But once he has passed by, no one can grasp him, the back of his head being bald.

Jude warning about the PATTERN of the instrumental-trinitarian female led idolatry at Mount Sinai for which there was no redemption:

Jude 3  Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
        [unity established within the Little Flock almost invisible and certainly inaudible when in God's presence.]
        it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you
         that ye should earnestly contend for the faith [The Word, Logos, Regulative Principle]
        which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
        who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
        ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
        and denying the only Lord God, AND our Lord Jesus Christ.
         [Meaning trinitarians claiming that BREATH is a PEOPLE]
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
        though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
        afterward destroyed them that believed not.

        giving themselves over to fornication,
        and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example,

        and rejoiced in the works of their own hands

The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem

Because their musical idolatry was the worship of the Astrial gods or Sabazianism (Dionysus-Apollo)

Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
        and gave them up to worship the HOST of heaven; 
        as it is written in the book of the prophets,
        O ye house of Israel,  have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
        by the space of forty years in the wilderness?

Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into
        captivity beyond Damascus,
        saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, 
        and the star of your god Remphan, 
        figures which ye made to worship them: 
        and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

The Spirit OF CHRIST IN ISAIAH 30

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

From the Golden Calf: The Canaanites were under Assyro-Babylonian dominance from 3000 to 1700 BCE. Even by circa 1400 BCE, their influence was still so great that all correspondence with Egypt and the Pharaoh was conducted in Babylonian, and the name of the moon-god Sin formed the basis for the Canaanite names Sinai and the wilderness of Sin (ERE, Vol. 3, p. 183). The hand of Sin was seen in the cause of Catatonia or madness in children - hence, lunacy is associated with this deity

Judas  was a thief: his bag or box was

Ezek 26:7 They will plunder your wealth and     loot your merchandise;     they will break down your walls     and demolish your fine houses     and throw your stones,     TIMBER and rubble into the sea. Ezek 26:12	Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the Lord. Eze 33:30
I will put an end [Rest, Repose, to your noisy songs, and the music [sound] of your harps will be heard no more. Ezek 26:13 Noisy: Multitudo     Songs:  Canticum chorus canticum Insonuit, magic formula, incantation  any thing that soothes, charms, or allures, a charm, blandishment, allurement, enticement "And he shall destroy the multitude of thy musicians, and the sound of thy psalteries [cĭthăra] shall be heard no more." Ezek. 26:13 LXX	My people come to you, as they usually do, and sit before you to listen to your words, but they do not put them into practice. With their mouths they express devotion (Lord, Lord as amorousness - inordinate love), but their hearts are greedy for unjust gain (commerce or trade or attendance). Eze 33:31
then I will bring you down with those who go       down to the pit,       to the people of long ago      I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the PIT,and you will not return or take your place in the land of the living. Ezek 26:20 Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms [maggots] cover thee. Amos 5:23 Take thou away from me the noise [tŭmultus] of thy songs [carmen]  for I will not hear the melody [cantĭcum] of thy viols	Indeed, to them you are NOTHING MORE than one who sings love songs with a beautiful voice and [NOTHING MORE than one who] plays (make melody on) an instrument well, for they hear your words but do not put them into practice. Eze 33
I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord God. Ezek 26:2	When all of this this comes true-- and it surely will-- then they will know that a prophet has been among them." Eze 33:33

AND THEY CANNOT REPENT: LYING WONDERS INCLUDES RHETORIC, SINGING, PLAYING OR ACTING CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE COMMANDED BY GOD.

Without a single verse from Genesis to Revelation and Church history before the Disciples there is no musical content in the Church or Synagogue.

The Wimber VINEYARD sister of the WINESKINS persona promotes musical mocking to create a sexual-like climax just before the last ACT of worship "Giving of Substance" both of which are vile and specificially outlawed.

1. Christ in Prophecy and Paul wants NEITHER male nor female to replace the One God the Father-Teacher.
2. Paul wants BOTH male and female to be peaceful and SILENT in the assembly.
3. So that all might be SAFE and come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH, the WORD the Regulative Principle.
4. BECAUSE self-exhibitioning males will permit wrath or an ORGY including singing, playing, clapping.
5. BECAUSE women trained in pagan temples were SELF-AUTHORING as in songs and sermons.
6. BECAUSE

        1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God,
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the MAN Christ Jesus;

John said that the name of the "different in some respects" Comforter was named Jesus Christ the Righteous. And if you deny the ONE God or Deity and One MAN whom God made to be both Lord and Christ with no mediator between Father and Son you are ANTICHRIST.

Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God [Theos] hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord [Kurios] and Christ.

Jesus Christ as HOLY SPIRIT breathed on Paul to denounce and REJECT what He called the Scribes and Pharisees: rhetoricians for hire, singers or instrument players.  Religious Craftsmen called Parasites: speakers, singers or instrument players will be or ARE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. This was in a Prophetic PATTERN in Isaiah 30.

In Ephesians 4 APT elders WILL eject the cunning Craftsmen or Sophists or ANTI-Logos or Regulative Principle because these are MARKS of men LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

Plat. Rep. 3.409d then on the contrary he appears stupid. He is unseasonably [kairon] distrustful [apistōn] and
        he cannot recognize a sound character

But since he more often meets with the bad than the good,
        he seems to himself and to others to be rather wise than foolish.” “That is quite true,” he said.
“Well then,” said I, “such a one must not be our ideal of the good and wise judge but the former.
        For while badness could never come to know both virtue and itself, native virtue through education
Plat. Rep. 3.409e will at last acquire the science both of itself and badness.¹ This one, then, as I think, is the man who proves to be wise and not the bad man.²” “And I concur,

God gave the gifted leaders in Ephesians 4 to specificially prevent these deceivers so that the church, ekklesia or School of the Word could be held.

This unity is that you MUST take the MARK OF THE BEAST.

The command is to SPEAK that which is written for our learning
Logos or Lexis is OPPOSITE to an ODE and ODE is the opposite of LEXUS.
If they do not SPEAK that which is Written THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM.  Isaiah 8

The Seven Ones in Ephesians 4 Denies the Trinity, outlaws all performance rhetoric or music and includes the definition of the Church, ekklesia or in Paul's use, the synagogue which is a school (only) of the Word (only) Gifted founders were eye and ear witnesses to deliver Jesus Christ's message from God the Father.  That is defined as the sole resource or "that which is written for the edification or education of the disciples: a disciple is not a ceremonial worshiper but a student.

Paul says there are sven "things" but he did not say THAT'S ALL: If anyone believes that and continues to collect a wage for teaching anything elde then he is a crimimal.  Ephesians 3 defines the role of the assembly as singular: to make known the manifold wisdom of
God. No one can contribute anything "beyond the sacred pages." In Ephesians 4 Paul will say that Christ has protected His School of the Word by gifted teachers. This is the only way to mark false teachers and "synagogues of Satan."

While the "scholars" missed the prophets, they missed THE Spirit OF Christ prophesying the reign of Christ both inclusively and exclusively.  For instance, the sacrificial system is the pattern for those imposing theatrical and musical performance defined to "makethe lambs dumb before the slaughter." 

Jer 23:16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
        Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you;
        they make you vain:
        they speak a vision of their own heart,
        and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

  Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah,
        and the great pride of Jerusalem. Jer 13:9
        This evil people, which refuse to hear my words,
........which walk in the imagination of their heart, [twisted]
........and walk after other gods, to serve them,
........and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. Jer 13:10

> For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded them
        in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
       concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
> But this thing commanded I them, saying,
       Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:
       and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you,
       that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23

> But they HEARKENED NOT, nor inclined their ear,
       but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart,
       and went backward, and not forward. Jeremiah 7:24

Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me,
        The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace;
        and they say unto every one that walketh
        after the imagination of his own heart,
        No evil shall come upon you.

Ecclesiastes 12:4And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

Christ the Rock defined the qahal, synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness. This was:

INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God. Exodus 18 defines the small groups ordained to teach The Book of the Covenant before the people fell into musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing including high-sounding rhetoric.

Jesus as the Mesiah speaking Spirit without meter, approved the Synagogue where the pattern was to stand up to read and then sit down decently and in order.

PAUL AND PETER EXCLUDE THE PREVAILING PAGAN RITUALS BEFORE THEY DEFINE THE CHURCH.

Eph. 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

2564. kaleo, kal-eh´-o; akin to the base of 2753; to “call” (properly, aloud, but used in a variety of applications, directly or otherwise): — bid, call (forth), (whose, whose sur-)name (was (called)).
2753. keleuo, kel-yoo´-o; from a primary ke÷llw kello (to urge on); “hail”; to incite by word, i.e. order: — bid, (at, give) command(-ment).

Eph. 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

There is no upper Case "S"pirit in the text.  It is not the Holy Spirit.  The context is not a complex godhead but the spirit or mind which unites all of the members of a congregation toward one goal. Paul defines the "synagogue" in Romans 15 to exclude the pagan sects identified by their diet in the marketplace.  He excludes all that does not edify which here means to educate "with that which is written for our learning."

Eph. 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace.

The Church of Christ is the Body of Christ, therefore, the "spirit" is the spirit OF unity within that body.  Body and spirit are alalogs of the human bod.  If a human body has two "spirits" or minds driving it it cannot accomplish the sole purpose from Ephesians three which is to make known the manifest wisdom of God to the "principalities and powers."  This is similar to Job's being God's human agent to withstand the influence of Satan. Paul's purpose is not to make a legal list of seven essentials but to both exclude the world and the wise so that the body can be edified or educated to withstand the very onslaught which drives most of christianism.

Eph. 4:4 There is one body, and one spirit, 
        even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

One of the essentials of "unity" narrowly defined by Barton W. Stone is a rejection of any speculation on the various views of the "trinity."  There is only ONE GOD and He is not composed of three family members internal or external.  Paul made it clear that there are only TWO "actors." The One God made Himself fully known is Jesus of Nazareth and it is Jesus as the Chrit with Whom we have to do in all that we do.

Eph. 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

Acts 10:37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea,
        and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:
        who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;
        for God was with him.

John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am IN the Father,
        and the Father IN me?
        the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
        but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:
        or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

1Cor. 1:3 Grace be unto you, and peace,
        from God our Father,
        and from the Lord Jesus Christ.  

1Cor. 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth,
        (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1Cor. 8:6 But to us
        there is but ONE GOD, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;
        and ONE LORD Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him

Gal. 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man,
        but by Jesus Christ,
        and God the Father,
        who raised him from the dead;)
Gal. 1:3 Grace be to you and peace
        from God the Father,
        and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

And there is only One invisible, incomprehensible Deity and no man knows the Father unless the Son makes Him known. Therefore, there can be no unity when people dismiss the Words of Christ as Spirit and Life and impose their own opinion. The 7 Ones EXCLUDES diversities;

Eph. 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

This is the One GOD and One LORD in the address of all of the Epistles.  The Holy Spirit whose name is Jesus Christ the Righteous because it is the Spirit OF Christ does not appear as a person. Therefore, based on all clasically trinitarians and the inventors of the term none of them would be in "unity" with anyone who taught that  God (singular term) is really three equal centers of consciousness with their own emotions and plans.  You would be lucky if they burned you with wet wood so you smothered before you fried.

Eph. 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that,
        denying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,

Jesus will not PRAY for the "world" or KOSMOS which is the concept brought from Babylon by Pythagoras: His sect was one of those SILENCED in Romans 14 if they wanted to attend the open synagogue defined in Romans 15 where SELF-pleasure specificially outlaws all of what Jesus called the Scribes, Pharisees He called Hypocrites: in the Ezekiel 33 version Christ named entertaining speakers, singers and instrument players as PROOF that the speakers were mercinaries and the audience was looking for entertainment--the reason butterflies flock to instrumental churches.

Jesus said that God HIDES Himself (very well, thank you) from the Wise: the Sophists:

Luke 10:21 In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said,
        I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
        that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent,
        and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

1Cor. 1:19 For it is written, I will DESTROY the wisdom of the WISE,
        and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Cor. 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe?
        where is the disputer of this world?
        hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1Cor. 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God
        the world by wisdom knew not God,
        it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe.

1Cor. 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
        seemeth to be wise in this world,
        let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Cor. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
        For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1Cor. 3:20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
        baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The Mantis were the Mad Women of Corinth: history notes that any male who would sing and play in a religious sense was "drunk, perverted or just mocking."

Plato's Symposium is the "getting drunk on wine" before they sang, or the CROOKED GENERATION.

Aristodemus meeting Socrates smartly attired expresses his surprise at so unusual a circumstance. Socrates explains that being invited to dine with Agathon he feels bound to go “in finery to the fine”; and he presses Aristodemus, although uninvited, to accompany him. On the road Socrates, immersed in thought, lags behind, and Aristodemus arrives at Agathon's alone. Not till they are half-way through the meal does Socrates appear; and Agathon rallies him on his devotion to sophia.

The proposal of Pausanias to restrict the potations, in view of yesterday's banquet, and that of Eryximachus to dismiss the flute-girl and amuse themselves by logoi, are unanimously agreed to. Then Eryximachus propounds an idea of Phaedrus, that Eros is the best possible theme for encomia, and suggests that each of the party in turn, commencing with Phaedrus, should now deliver an encomium on Eros. This suggestion is applauded by Socrates. Of the encomia the most noteworthy were the following:—

OF SOPHIA: Sophia is the mother of ZOE in Gnosticism or EVE.

THE MEANING OF LEGALISM: All religious acts must be performed according to strict rules.

d The varying nomoi concerning Eros may be classified thus:—

(1) In all Greek states except Athens the nomos is simple, either (a) approving paederastia, as in Elis and Boeotia; or (b） condemning it, as in Ionia and states subject to barbarian rule, where it is held to foster a dangerous spirit of independence (e.g. Harmodius and Aristogiton).

(2) At Athens the nomos is complex. (a) Eros is approved, and its excesses condoned, when directed towards superior youths approaching manhood. (b) It appears to be condemned, in so far as parents forbid their boys to hold converse with “erastae.” The explanation of this ambiguous attitude must be sought in the principle laid down above, that the moral quality of an act depends upon the conditions of its performance. The Athenian nomos (LEGALISM) provides a test for distinguishing between good and bad forms of Eros: the test of time shows whether or not the right motive (desire for aretē) actuates both the lover and his object. This motive alone justifies all erotic pursuits and surrenders, even mutual deception: hence we conclude that kalon aretēs heneka kharizesthai.

This is the message of GRACE only

Eph. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When HE ascended up on high,
        he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Jesus died, was resurrected and was transfigured or changed. He returned to God and God gave Him His post-resurrected Spiritual state.  He--Jesus Christ--shed forth what happened by the Holy Spirit in the upper room.

Acts 2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted,
        and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost,
        he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

1Pet. 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust,
        that he might bring us to God,
            being put to death in the flesh,
        but quickened by the Spirit:
1Pet. 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pet. 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient,
        when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah,
        while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1Pet. 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us
        (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh,
        but the answer of a good conscience toward God,)
        by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1Pet. 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God;
        angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.  

Eph. 4:9 (Now that he ascended,
        what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

Paul always DEFINES the pagan (new style singing as a mark of the beast) before he defines the SOLE purpose of the ekklesia or synagogue or school of the Bible which EXCLUDES the marketplace preferences (Romans 15) and INCLUDES the Scriptures to educate, glorify God and keep the unity.

WHAT?

Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens,
        that he might fill all things.)

When Jesus as the Christ was transfigured or metamorphosed into the spiritual world His name when He appeared to Paul was "Jesus of Nazareth."  Jesus of Nazareth was MADE both lord and Christ and continues to be the earthly intercessor or Arm of God.

Heb. 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

To validate and leave an example--written says Peter--Christ gave certain men supernatural help to equip the church with the sole teaching authorized for the church or assembly: disunity always happens when people violate the direct commandment against "doubtful disputations" which means private opinions or even words according to Christ through Isaiah in chapter 58.

Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists;
        and some, pastors and teachers

God always reveals through specially chosen men whom He has prepared to hear and reveal His will: over and over it was the prophets led by the Spirit of Christ who spoke the spiritual truth in direct opposition to the Scribes who recorded the history of the Civil-Military-Priestly system abandoned to worship the starry host.

Jesus Christ continued to guide certain people to set the church in order: the method chosen was to identify wrong teachings and then correct them.  Peter warns that the MARKS of a false teacher is one who does not teach that which is revealed:

For he received from God the Father HONOR and GLORY,
        when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory,
        This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Pet 1:17

What was it to prove?

WE have also a MORE SURE word of PROPHECY;
        whereunto YOU do well that ye take heed,
        as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
        until the day dawn,
        and the day star [Christ] arise in your hearts: 2 Pet 1:19

In 1 Peter 1:11 Peter said that the PROPHETS spoke through the Spirit OF CHRIST.
Therefore, his command was that our assemblies give heed to the PROPHETS  through whom God delivered SPIRITUAL truth in mortal warfare with the LEGAL animal sacrifices IMPOSED as the curse when God ABANDONED the Monarchy to worship the starry host.

WHY?

Eph 4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

The Word EDIFY means EDUCATE: Romans 15 says you speak "that which is written" using one MIND and one MOUTH to educate.

Musical performance in religion does not perfect, enable service, does not edify, does not UNIFY, does not give knowledge of the Son of God, does not perfect and does not make one like Christ: Jesus cast the musical minstrels out "like dung."

Musical performance is based on failing to understand that Paul commanded that we SPEAK that which is written to Teach, Comfort, Exhort.  Singing and Melody are the EFFECTS on the spirit or heart as the only place "worship" takes place.

Singing because it is a "commanded act of worship" is rank legalism and PREVENTS the sole role of the ekklesia or synagogue which is to Teach the Word of Christ.

g3619.Edifying.gif 1Corinthians 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 1Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 2Corinthians 10:8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

Stature: 2244. helikia, hay-lik-ee´-ah; from the same as 2245; maturity (in years or size):  age, stature. [Comrade, not playmate] 

You cannot go BEYOND THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN: that is a direct command made over and over.  If you go BEYOND that which is written with the SOLE PURPOSE 

Eph. 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, 
        that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Eph. 3:9 And to make all men see
        what is the fellowship of the mystery,
        which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
        who created all things by Jesus Christ:

The SEVEN ONES were not what was HIDDEN. The CORE GOSPEL was not what was HIDDEN: Paul said of the ONE BAPTISM that until you are converted or baptized you CANNOT read BLACK text on BROWN paper.

Those who can read only the SEVEN ONES are assuredly BLIND as God's predestinated purpose.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM? Is that BEYOND the seven ONES? Huh?

Eph. 3:10 To the intent that now unto
        the principalities and powers in heavenly places
        might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph. 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

PAUL DEFINES THE CHURCH FURTHER DOWN

YES: 2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; 
        whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,
        as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
        until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
NO:  2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first,
        that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

         ."

NO: 2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded:
        for until this day remaineth
        the same vail untaken away
         in the reading of the old testament;
        which vail is done away in Christ.

2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day,
        when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

YES: 2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
        the vail shall be taken away.

Jesus used the example of being CONVERTED and BORN AGAIN like a child
Luke recorded the example of BAPTISM to be SAVED and CONVERTED meaning the same thing.

Until you are CONVERTED you will not be able to read WHOLE THOUGHT PATTERNS written in BLACK INK on WHITE paper.

[3]  that then Yahweh your God will turn your captivity, and have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples, where Yahweh your God has scattered you.

Further and universal proof that the trinity of "three persons" is not something you can unite with without being a polytheist and effectively denying that Jesus as the Christ of God revealed the Fullness of the Godhead.

2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Cor. 3:18 But we all,
        with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
        are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
        even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

PAUL ALWAYS OUTLAWS THE RITUALS OF THE WORLD BEFORE HE COMMANDS SPEAKING WHICH IS NOT MUSICATING.

Getting drunk with wine appears as "getting FLUTED down with wine." This musical ritual made you "intoxicated with passion and pride."
Paul said worship IN THE SPIRIT because outside are the dogs or musicians howling for a partner.
Ephesians 4 define the same NON-MUSICAL "synagoguing" or teaching.

Before looking at 4:14 see that Jesus defined a parallel

Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the MEN of this generation? and to what are they like?

Luke 7:32 They are like unto CHILDREN sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

Threnos (g2355) thray'-nos; from the base of 2360; wailing: - lamentation.
Threskeia (g2356) thrace-ki'-ah; from a der. of 2357; ceremonial observance: - religion, worshipping.

Jesus consigned the children (play=pervert] as pipers, singers and dancers to the marketplace where they USED music to SEDUCE mostly male prostitutes.

Jesus cast the musical minstrels out LIKE DUNG associated with the marketplace and the dung heap and NOT in the church.  He died to give us REST from "ceremonial observance" which creates the "sounds of rusing waters" where no SHEEP can feed and no STRAIGHT Shepherd would take them.

Now, you know that an elder as the only Pastor-Teacher is to "teach that which is written" to mature "children" into "men" and to PREVENT the NAVIGATING THE WINDS OF CHANGE which always marks the musical perverts STALKING you.

CHURCH MUST NEVER PERMIT PEOPLE CLAIMING TO NAVIGATE THE WINDS

Hermes appears to have been the chief of the Cabiri (Roscher, Myth. Lex. 2360); with his cult compare the Gallic (Caesar, B. G. vi. 17; Rhys, Hibbert Lectures, pp. 5-20 and ch. iv) and German (Tac. Germ. 9) worship of Mercurius. The latter, Odin, would seem to be like Hermes a wind god, and this may be true also of the Thracian deity. It seems improbable that the Thracians were content with so small a pantheon.

Mercury or Hermes is KAIROS: the demon spirit son of Zeus

Hes. Th. 41 So said the ready-voiced daughters of great Zeus, and they plucked and gave [30] me a rod, a shoot of sturdy laurel, a marvellous thing, and breathed into me a divine voice to celebrate things that shall be and things that were aforetime; and they bade me sing of the race of the blessed gods that are eternally, but ever to sing of themselves both first and last.
[35] But why all this about oak or stone? Come you, let us begin with the Muses who gladden the great spirit of their father Zeus in Olympus with their songs, telling of things that are and that shall be and that were aforetime with consenting voice. Unwearying flows the sweet sound [40] from their lips, and the house of their father Zeus the loud-thunderer is glad at the lily-like voice of the goddesses as it spreads abroad, and the peaks of snowy Olympus resound, and the homes of the immortals.

sophos

Panourgia (g3834) pan-oorg-ee'-ah; from 3835; adroitness, i.e. (in a bad sense) trickery or sophistry: - (cunning) craftiness, subtilty.

-Panourg-êma  A. knavish trick, villainy, S.El.1387 (lyr.), LXX Si.1.6 (v.l.); sophistry, Gal.5.251; cf. panourgeuma.

Cunning craftiness has the same meaning as SOPHOS:

1Cor. 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you
        seemeth to be wise [sophos] in this world,
        let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1Cor. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God.
        For it is written,
        He taketh the wise  sophia
        in their own craftiness. pa^nourg-ia

-HH 4 483 What skill is this? What song for desperate cares? What way of song? For verily here are three things to hand all at once from which to choose, —mirth, and love, and sweet sleep. [450] And though I am a follower of the Olympian Muses who love dances and the bright path of song —the full-toned chant and ravishing thrill of flutes —yet I never cared for any of those feats of skill at young men's revels, as I do now for this:

And they say that from the utterance of Zeus you have learned both the honors due to the gods, O Far-worker, and oracles from Zeus, even all his ordinances. Of all these I myself have already learned that you have great wealth. Now, you are free to learn whatever you please; [475] but since, as it seems,
        your heart is so strongly set on playing the lyre,   [therefore]
        chant, and play upon it,
        and give yourself to merriment,
        taking this as a gift from me,
        and do you, my friend,
                bestow glory on me.
Sing well with this clear-voiced companion in your hands; for you are skilled in good, well-ordered utterance. [480] From now on bring it confidently to the rich feast and lovely dance and glorious revel, a joy by night and by day. Whoso with wit and wisdom enquires of it cunningly, him it teaches [485] through its sound all manner of things that delight the mind, being easily played with gentle familiarities, for it abhors toilsome drudgery; but whoso in ignorance enquires of it violently, to him it chatters mere vanity and foolishness.

NOTE: singing TO the lyre meant that you struck a note and then matched your voice  to that note: that does not make music.

HH 4 511 When Hermes had said this, he held out the lyre: and Phoebus Apollo took it, and readily put his shining whip in Hermes' hand, and ordained him keeper of herds. The son of Maia received it joyfully, [500] while the glorious son of Leto, the lord far-working Apollo, took the lyre upon his left arm and tried each string with the key. Awesomely it sounded at the touch of the god, while he sang sweetly to its note

Afterwards they two, the all-glorious sons of Zeus turned the cows back towards the sacred meadow, [505] but themselves hastened back to snowy Olympus, delighting in the lyre. Then wise Zeus was glad and made them both friends. And Hermes loved the son of Leto continually, even as he does now, when he had given the lyre as token to the Far-shooter, [510] who played it skilfully, holding it upon his arm. But for himself Hermes found out another cunning art and made himself the pipes whose sound is heard afar.

So, Theaetetus, we must see what reply is to be made to the young man's question.

Theaetetus
Obviously we shall reply that we mean the images in water and in mirrors, and those in paintings, too, and sculptures, and all the other things of the same sort.

Eur. Alc. 766 Then taking an ivy-wood drinking-bowl in his hands and drinking unmixed wine, offspring of the dark grape, until the fire in it enveloped and warmed his heart, he garlanded his head with sprays of myrtle [760] and howled songs out of tune.

She was like a mother to me and to the other servants,

Pind. P. 5 [90] and he established, for the processions of Apollo, protector of men, a straight cut, level, paved road for the clatter of horses' hooves, where at the edge of the marketplace he rests by himself in death. He was blessed when he dwelled among men, [95] and thereafter a hero worshipped by the people. Apart from him, in front of the houses, are the other sacred kings who took their allotted places in Hades, and somehow below the earth they hear, in their minds, great excellence sprinkled with gentle dew [100] by the outpourings of victory-songs—prosperity for themselves, and a justly earned and shared grace for their son Arcesilas. It is fitting for him, in the song of the young men, to celebrate Phoebus with his golden sword, [105] now that he has received from Pytho the graceful victory-song as a compensation for his expense. Intelligent men praise him. I will say what has been said by others: [110] he nurtures a mind and tongue that are beyond his years; in courage he is a long-winged eagle among birds; his strength in competition is like a bulwark. Among the Muses, he has had wings since he was a child in his dear mother's lap

Pind. O. 1 From there glorious song enfolds the wisdom of poets,¹ so that they loudly sing [10] the son of Cronus, when they arrive at the rich and blessed hearth of Hieron, who wields the scepter of law in Sicily of many flocks, reaping every excellence at its peak, and is glorified [15] by the choicest music, which we men often play around his hospitable table. Come, take the Dorian lyre down from its peg, if the splendor of Pisa and of Pherenicus placed your mind under the influence of sweetest thoughts,

Pind. P. 3. I will honor in my mind the fortune that attends me from day to day, tending it to the best of my ability. [110] But if a god were to give me luxurious wealth, I hope that I would find lofty fame in the future. We know of Nestor and Lycian Sarpedon, whom men speak of, from melodious words which skilled craftsmen join together. Through renowned songs excellence [115] gains a long life. But few find that easy to accomplish.

You came to me, your hair glittering with gold, when I was plucking into the folds of my robe yellow flowers [890] to bloom with golden light; grasping my white hand in yours, you led me to the bed in the cave, hearing me call on my mother, god and consort, [895] shamelessly paying homage to Aphrodite. I, the unhappy one, bore you a son, whom in fear of my mother I placed in that bed of yours, [900] where you joined with me, the miserable, the unfortunate one, in unhappy union. Alas! and now my son and yours, oh cruel one, is gone, torn apart, a feast for birds; [905] but you are singing to the lyre, chanting hymns.

WHY ARES STALKS: Theatrical performers creep in using a "womanish" approach

"a gradual and regular advance. pronemesthai is lit. ‘to go forward in grazing.’ The midd. occurs only here; nor is the act. found in a strictly parallel sense, as meaning to encroach on a neighbour's pastures, here: ‘the limit of a woman's belief (too lightly won) quickly oversteps the border’ (between fact and fiction).

Campbell suggests that the image in “pronemetai” is from fire ‘eating its way’ forward, and compares Her. 5. 101“ap' oikiēs es oikiēn ion to pur epenemeto to astu”.

Hdt. 2.49 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.

Heroes who are honored by the grace of Zeus provide a theme for skilled poets.... My swift tongue has many arrows, to shout the praises of these heroes. And now the city of Aias, Salamis, could testify that she was saved by her sailors in Ares' confrontation in the destructive storm sent by Zeus,

        he casts a cause for sweet thoughts into the streams of the Muses.
For those great acts of prowess dwell in deep darkness, if they lack songs,

The CORE gospel according to the SEVEN ONES specificially OUTLAWS "a good delivery" as the mark of a hypocrite: the Scriptures do not NEED this private interpretation.  This outlaws CUNNING CRAFTINESS which intends to OBLITERTE the gospel of the kingdom--the church.

ONLY BY EXCLUDING ALL OF THE PERFORMING ARTS CAN YOU HOLD EKKKLESIA OR SYNAGOGUE

Christ defined the synagogue as the Church of Christ in the wilderness: He was the ROCK that followed them

This was INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God.
This was EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing.
Pretty simple if you understand that the common people assembled only for instructions. This quarantined them from the later sacrificial system which had been abandoned to the worship of the starry host.

That was always the directly commanded practice which did not change.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CHURCH?

Eph. 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given,
        that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

No man can know the Mind of God but the Lord Jesus Christ and His prophets and apostles.

Eph. 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
        which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God,
        who created all things by Jesus Christ:

        might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph. 3:11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Eph. 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

        but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;

Paul specifies Wine connected with the Symposia or the marketplace which in Athens was just down the hill from the Ekklesia which allowed reading and discussing matters handed to it by a higher authority.  He would certainly exclude anything which detracted from using one mind and one mouth to "speak that which is written for our learning" (Rom 15).

Grant, then, forgiveness to the Lydians,
and to make sure of their never rebelling against thee, or alarming thee more,
            send and forbid them to keep any weapons of war,
            command them to wear tunics under their cloaks, and to put buskins upon their legs,
            and make them bring up their sons to cithern-playing (Kitharizein),
            singing (psallein),
            and shop-keeping (Hucksterism). 

So wilt thou soon see them become women instead of men,
and there will be no more fear of their revolting from thee."

Aristoph. Cl. 973 Then again, their master would teach them, not sitting cross-legged, to learn by rote a song, either “pallada persepolin deinan” or “teleporon ti boama” raising to a higher pitch the harmony which our fathers transmitted to us. But if any of them were to play the buffoon, or to turn any quavers, like these difficult turns the present artists make after the manner of Phrynis, he used to be thrashed, being beaten with many blows, as banishing the Muses. And it behooved the boys, while sitting in the school of the Gymnastic-master, to cover the thigh, so that they might exhibit nothing indecent to those outside; then again, after rising from the ground, to sweep the sand together, and to take care not to leave an impression of the person for their lovers. And no boy used in those days to anoint himself below the navel; so that their bodies wore the appearance of blooming health. Nor used he to go to his lover, having made up his voice in an effeminate tone, prostituting himself with his eyes.

X.Mem.1.6.13  Xen. Mem. 1.6.13
To this Socrates replied: “Antiphon, it is common opinion among us in regard to beauty and wisdom that there is an honourable and a shameful way of bestowing them.
        For to offer one's beauty for money to all comers is called prostitution;
        but we think it virtuous to become friendly with
              a lover who is known to be a man of honour.

       So is it with wisdom. Those who offer it to all comers for money
              are known as sophists, prostitutors of wisdom,
       but we think that he who makes a friend of one whom he knows to be gifted
       by nature, and teaches him all the good he can,
       fulfils the duty of a citizen and a gentleman.

Plut. Agis 10 of Phrynis: Training in luxury, effeminancey and Greed... [4] “Thou praisest Ecprepes,” said Agis, “who, as ephor, cut out with an adze two of the nine lute-strings of Phrynis the musician, and likewise the magistrates in the time of Timotheus, who did the same thing in their turn, but thou blamest me for trying to remove luxury, extravagance, and ostentation from Sparta, as if those magistrates also were not on the watch to prevent the pompous and superfluous in music from making such advances as our lives and manners have come to, whose excess and discord has made the city dissonant and out of tune with itself.”

WHAT IS THE SOLE PURPOSE?

Eph. 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church,
        not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing;
        but that it should be holy and without blemish

WHAT IS TRUTH?

John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me;
        and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee,
        and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world,
        but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John 17:10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the WORLD hath hated them,
        because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,
        but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

WHAT IS THE WORLD?  See details below.

The Kosmos is a word invented by Phythagoras: he travelled throughout the area and brought the Babylonian system of religion to the Greek-Roman World. These would be one of the "food sects" Paul prevented from discussing their diversities in church.

Eph. 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted
        by that which every joint supplieth,
        according to the effectual working in the measure of every part,
        maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

In Romans 15 edifying is defined as the use of "Scripture" or "that which is written for our learning."

In Romans 14 Paul outlawed doubtful disputations which means any personal opinion or diversity: that then permits what Paul called the synagogue to function as a School of Christ in the Word which is its sole purpose.

Rom. 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak,
        and not to please ourselves.
Rom. 15:2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
Rom. 15:3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written,
        The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning,
        that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you
        to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Rom. 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God,
        even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom. 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Rom. 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God,
           to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Eph. 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord,
        that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk,
        in the vanity of their mind,

Vanitas I. Lit., emptiness, nothingness, nullity, want of reality, popular opinion, Magus, Magice.

Nor, so thou maist obtaine a wealthy prize,
The vaine name of inferiour slaves despize.

Eph. 4:18 Having the understanding darkened,
        being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them,
        because of the blindness of their heart:

Paul told the Jews in Corinth that they had been blinded because of refusing to listen to God and going on to engage in musical idolatry at Mount Sinai, that they would not be able to read BLACK text on BROWN paper until they turned or converted to Christ. This has the same purpose of baptism which gives A holy spirit or A good conscience or a co-perception.

Luke 1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest:
        for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God;
        whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
        to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Only obedience in baptism is said to give remission of sins AND the knowledge of salvation.

............ for them that defile themselves with mankind,

There are some, however, who suppose there is likewise, the subject-race of a tricky nature, artful, and assuming all shapes, turning many ways, that personates gods and dæmons and souls of the dead like actors on the stage; and that through these everything that seems to be good or bad is possible. They are led to form this judgment because these subject-spirits are not able to contribute anything really beneficial as relates to the soul, nor even to perceive such things; but on the other hand, they ill treat, deride, and often impede those who are returning to virtue.

They are likewise full of conceit, and take delight in vapors and sacrifices.

5. Because the begging priest with open mouth attempts in many ways to raise our expectations. Note 13

13. The agurtes or begging priest generally belonged to the worship of Rhea [ZOE] or Cybele, the Mother. He is frequently depicted in a most unfavorable light. Apuleius speaks of a company of these emasculate priests in the eighth book of the Metamorphoses. They are also described in the Republic of Plato:

"Agurtæ and Mantics frequent the houses of the rich and persuade them that they possess a power granted by the gods to expiate,

by sacrifices and chants any unjust act that has been committed and that they induce the gods by blandishments and magic rites to help them.

They collected money in this way, and they also followed the selling of nostrums and telling of fortunes."

Jer. 20:6 And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.

SEE PAUL'S REFERENCE TO MOUNT SINAI AS HE DOES IN OTHER PLACES.

"When the Hebrews were in Egypt - living as Egyptians, worshipping the Golden Calf of Horus, etc. - they also worshipped Horus's "twin," Set, whence comes Satan. Where Horus is the Golden Sun in the Age of Taurus the Bull, Set represents the Serpent of the Night, i.e., the night-time sky. The battle between Horus/Jesus and Set/Satan represents the struggle between day and night for supremacy.

"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).

Stephen in Acts 7 refers to the worship of the starry host to which God abandoned Israel.

Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; 
        for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. Amos 5:23
But let judgment run down as waters,
        and righteousness as a mighty stream. Amos 5: 24

But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Amos 5: 26
Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the Lord,whose name is The God of hosts. Amos 5: 27

Rev. 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
        and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev. 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev. 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

TESTIMONY OF HISTORY

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection (noisy crowd) of the workers of iniquity: Psalm 64:2NIV 

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like deadly arrows. Psalm 64:3

Shanan (h8150) shaw-nan'; a prim. root; to point (trans. or intrans.); intens. to pierce; fig. to inculcate: - prick, sharp (en), teach diligently, whet.

Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind: Is.5:28

According to Philo condenming instrumental music at religious festivals, the gods of the pagans exploit this weakness of men. For the sake of a better effect,
        and with the intention of more easily cheating their devotees,
        they have set their lies to melodies, rhythms and meters.

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 effeminant 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. Johannes Quasten 

Eph. 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Eph. 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

First, God in Christ makes room only for evangelists who teach that which HAS BEEN taught and AS it has been taught. Of the future "School of the Word" Christ said:

Is. 8:20 To the law and to the testimony:
        if they speak not according to this word,
        it is because there is no light in them.

Second, when God delivers Spirit or Word to the Son, he speaks WITHOUT METER.  And so, none of the Bible can be sung in the modern tunful sense: that mark is left to identify LIARS and ROBBERS.

Third, there is NO FUNDING for the extra "ministry staff" riding on the backs of widows and honest workers.

Therefore, all of the STAFF speak "on their own" and Jesus said they were sons of the Devil. Therefore again,

Eph. 4:28 Let him that stole steal no more:
        but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good,
        that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Eph. 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
        but that which is good to the use of edifying, (Education)
        that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Eph. 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
        whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Eph. 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
        and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

        and offers and exhibits to them his poetry or any other product of his craft or any political service,             and grants the mob authority over himself more than is unavoidable, 
        the proverbial necessity of Diomede will compel him to give the public what it likes,
        but that what it likes is really good and honorable,
                have you ever heard an attempted proof of this that is not simply ridiculous?”

For that statues have appeared to sweat, and shed tears, and exude something like drops of blood, is not impossible; since wood and stone often contract a mould which is productive of moisture, and cover themselves with many colours, and receive tints from the atmosphere; and there is nothing in the way of believing that the Deity uses these phenomena sometimes as signs and portents.
        [2] It is possible also that statues may emit a noise like a moan or a groan,
        by reason of a fracture or a rupture, which is more violent
        if it takes place in the interior.
But that articulate speech, and language so clear and abundant and precise, should proceed from a lifeless thing, is altogether impossible; since not even the soul of man, or the Deity, without a body duly organized and fitted with vocal parts, has ever spoken and conversed.

        that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

        not a mere address to their feelings,
        but counsel to act rightly  Isoc.1.5; p. tôn politôn pros aretên Aeschin.1.117 ;

III. consolation, LXX Is.30.7, Na.3.7, Ep.Hebr.6.18,

Isoc. 1 5  Therefore, I have not invented a hortatory exercise, but have written a moral treatise; and I am going to counsel you on the objects to which young men should aspire and from what actions they should abstain, and with what sort of men they should associate and how they should regulate their own lives. For only those who have travelled this road in life have been able in the true sense to attain to virtue—that possession which is the grandest and the most enduring in the world.

This discourse is really hortatory in the general sense of that word, but Isocrates distinguishes it from hortatory （“protreptic”） discourses of the sophists, which were lectures to stimulate interest in whatever kind of learning they professed to teach, commonly oratory.

Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation [paraklesis]
        grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Rom. 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth
        glorify God, even the Father
        of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rom. 15:7 Wherefore receive ye one another,
        as Christ also received us
        to the glory of God.
Rom. 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ
        was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God,
        to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Rom. 15:9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy;
        as it is written, For this cause
        I will confess to thee among the Gentiles,  [outward]
        and sing unto thy name.                              [Inward]
