Garland Elkins Yokefellow Singing+

Apparently, there is no example of group singing as worship of the LORD GOD until after the Reformation. Then, singing was added in competiton of other Theologians.  Only in the fourth century were some hymnns used. These were Bible accounts set to a simple melody.    Christianizing the Romann Empire ad 100-400 p 64f Ramsay MacMullen,.
"The pagan priests attracted disciples by singing, clapping, drumming, drinking wine and claiming that they could bestow supernatural power. Early missionaries spread the propoganda that when they left a pagan temle the demons would not return. Others claimed that just their shadow could heal and they could raise the dead. These claims of supernatural power lost their "power."  The church as a purely intellectual movement"

Mount Sinai "singing" worship of the Golden Calf
Ex. 32:28 And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.

Men hired to do the teaching are under the same obligation as elders so that you don't see honorable preachers rich or famous.  A preacher-teacher is obligated to listen to "the least of these". The men of a congregation are defacto silenced and unable to learn or teach. Part of the education of a preacher should be that he is still a learner. Men won't stay around when the most mind-altering part of the assembly is singing. Perhaps the youth will not opt out if they are included with adults.  A child begins learning soon after birth.
The PURPOSE of the Church of Christ is as a SCHOOL OF CHRIST naturally excluded singing except for kindergarten. ONE WAY TO ATTRACT MORE THAN WOMEN IS TO OBEY THE DIRECT COMMAND: THAT WOULD INCLUDE A UNISON SINGING OF "THE ONLY THING REVEALED FOR OUR LEARNING."

For my wife, I quickly looked up and found about 6 (before I stopped) preachers who said that "singing was a command and if you didn't sing you sin."  I was hit with that before I had to escape   I ruined my vocal cords in church and the doctor said, "Stop it."  I ruined one ear trying to endure 900 people all singing the same notes.  If OSHA wasn't afraid they would stop the well-known and well-documented evidence. I ruined my mental health which broke while sitting on the front row while the FHU people did ttheir 'harmony'. I had to escape until medicated.  Don't be surprised: they warned about that on clay tablets and Greek society who knew if child-bearing women were excluded from the musical and scenic theaters,

Plat. Laws 792e so far as possible, the new-born babe.
        For because of the force of habit,
        it is in infancy that the whole character is most effectually determined.1
I should assert further—were it not that it would be taken as a jest—
        that women with child, above all others, should be cared for during their years of pregnancy,
        lest any of them should indulge in repeated and intense pleasures or pains,
        instead of cultivating, during the whole of that period, a cheerful, bright and calm demeanor.

GARLAND ELKINS ON SINGING PROBABLY SPEAKING FOR ALL SO-CALLED CONSERVATIVES.

Memphis.School.of.Preaching.Seminar

Garland Elkins; "The lord did not authorize merely vocal music, but rather He authorized a certain type of vocal music, that is, singing. The New Testament teaches that we are to "sing" (Heb 2:12; 1 Cor 14:15

BUT ONLY If you have a revelation!)"

GARLAND ELKINS PROOF TEXTING REFUTED BY THE CONTEXT
Heb. 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things,
         and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory,
        to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Heb. 2:11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one:
        for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

SINGING IN THE HEART TO GOD.
The man who was dying blessed me; I made the widow's heart sing. Jb.29:13
       So my heart laments for Moab like a flute;
it laments like a flute for the men of Kir Hareseth. The wealth they acquired is gone. Je.48:36
       My heart laments for Moab like a harp,
       my inmost being for Kir Hareseth. Is.16:11
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.Lu.1:47
      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. Lu.10:21
      Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Ac.2:26

Plautus, Curculio CAPPADOX My spleen is killing me, my reins are in torment, my lungs are being torn asunder, my liver is being tortured, my heart-strings are giving way, all my intestines are in pain.

Hecuba Alas! a dreadful trial is near, it seems, [230] full of mourning, rich in tears. Yes, I too escaped death where death had been my due, and Zeus did not destroy me but is still preserving my life, that I may witness in my misery fresh sorrows surpassing all before. But if the bond may ask the free of things that do not GRIEVE them or WRENCH their heart-strings, you ought to speak in answer to my questions and I ought to hear what you have to say

THE  ONLY PURPOSE GOD EVER CALLED PEOPLE OUT OF THE REST WAS TO LISTENING TO THE READING OF THE WORD AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS READ.

Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought [EDUCATED]
        up: and, as his custom was, [PATTERN]
        he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day,
        and stood up for to READ.

LITTLE JEWISH BOYS AND GIRLS WOULD BE PART OF THE UNITED BODY. LISTENING TO THE WORD BEFORE SPEAKING WOULD PLANT THE ONL SEED. Why turn them over to women from Cradle until they begin to escape about grade 6.

Dt 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is ONE LORD:
Dt 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth:
        for there is ONE GOD; and there is NONE OTHER BUT HE 
Mark 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mark 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him,
        Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

Dt 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Dt 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Dt 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Dt 6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
        because they knew him not,
        nor yet the voices of the PROPHETS
        which are READ every sabbath day,
        they have fulfilled them in condemning hi

Acts 13:15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets
        the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 
        Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city 
        Them that PREACH him, being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day

Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Educated in the ekklesia]
        the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
        Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
            [That means that He is the teacher in secret and silent places]

THE SINGULAR PURPOSE FOR APT ELDERS APPLIES TO ANYONE TEACHING THE WORD

GIVING IS ALWAYS FREE WILL AND IS NEVER LACKING IF THE WORD IS PREACHED..

1Pet. 5:1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder,
        and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
        and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
1Pet. 5:2 FEED the flock of God which is among you,

        NOT FOR FILTHY LUCRE , but of a ready mind;

JESUS IS STILL THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH AS THE ONLY TEACHER. WHY SILENCE HIM WITH SINGING
 
Plat. Lach. 201b to go to school at our time of life, I think we should appeal to Homer,
         who said that ““shame is no good mate for a needy man.””Hom. Od. 17.347
         So let us not mind what anyone may say,
         but join together in arranging for our own and the boys' tuition.

Lysimachus
I gladly approve of your suggestions, Socrates; and as I am the oldest,
        so I am the most eager to have lessons with the young ones.
        Now this is what I ask you to do:

OVERSIGHT:  prō-vĭdĕo , 2.  To see to, look after, care for, give attention to; to prepare or provide for any thing:
care for; to provide, make preparation or provision for any thing
I have used tables to keep my own thoughts in order.

NOTICE THAT THERE IS NO GROUP EVER GATHERED TO WORSHIP WITH ANY KIND OF SINGING: MELODY IS SAID TO BE "TUNEFUL" ONLY IN THE 19TH CENTURY.  Even now, melody is a series of single tones.

        If you can find a command to SING then the SONG BOOK Is "that which is written for our learning." Psalms, Hymns, ans Spiritual songs (inspired). WHY would any Disciple of Christ taught BY Christ want to replace the SINGLE PATTERN of READING with much of the time and ALL of the nervous energy SINGING that which was NOT written for our learning?

When SINGING of metrical and rewritten Psalms began to be sung it caused division.  It NOW creates Spiritual Anxiety meaning a Laded Burden.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Luke 13:24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

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.
IF GOD HAD WANTED TO REPLACE "THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING" HE WOULD HAVE USED THE ONLY MUSICAL MELODY WORD:

THE MELODY USED IN THE SYNAGOGUE MEANT TO "DISMEMBER OR BREAK THE INSPIRED TEXT INTO SYLLABLES. THEN YOU CAN SING THE DIRECTLY COMMANDED HOLY SCRIPTURE WITH ONE OR TWO NOTES.

YOU WOULD OBEY DIRECT COMMANDS. THE PEOPLE CAN PARTICIPATE IN LEARNING HOLY SCRIPTURE. AND EVEN MENTALLY HEALTHY PEOPLE WILL NOT BE LADED WITH A BURDEN WHICH IS "SPIRITUAL ANXIETY CAUSED BY RELIGIOUS RITUALS INCLUDING SINGING.

YOU CAN RESTORE THE CHURCH AND CUT THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDER THOSE WHO SING AND PLAY BECAUSE THEY HEAR A SPIRIT PERSON.

THE ONLY WAY TO WORSHIIP GOD "IN" THE SPIRIT

Romans 12:1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that
        YE present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
        which is your reasonable service.

Darby: [which is] your intelligent service.

In the real world a person agrees to serve the person and company which feeds him.  Unless one is arrogant they go into the Boss' Office and PRESENT themselves to be told how to be a profitable servant in that office or Vineyard. 

SILENCE BEFORE GOD IS THE UNIVERSAL COMMAND.  Isaiah 57 has Christ defining the meaning of Silence before God Almighty as a Prophetic Type for anyone who understands that in Isaiah 58 Christ outlawed seeking your own pleasure or even speaking your own words.

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

Perhaps only the woman at the well understood that when Messias comes He will TELL US ALL THINGS.

John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; 
        and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me,
        the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain,
        nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
        when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit [PLACE[ and in truth:
        for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth
        Philippians 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord.
        To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision,
        which worship God IN THE SPIRT and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
        and have no confidence in the flesh.
Eph. 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

The pattern from the Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wildernesss onward was to quarantine the godly people from the Jacob-cursed and God-abandoned Levites to REST from the normal Sabazianism on the evil seventh day. They were permitted to READ and REHEARSE the Word supplied by God because the object was to be DISCIPLES and not Ceremonial legalists.

Girardian Reflections on the Lectionary:
5.4.2 Behind the anthropological predilections against the victim's perspective, there is a very practical, quasi-historical reason: namely, the victim is shunned and often killed. In the ancient world, the role of music during ritual sacrifice was often to drown out any cries from the victim. (45) It is crucial that the victim not be heard. The practical mechanics of making victims means that it is unusual for the victim's perspective to survive. In the world of ancient ritual it was probably impossible.

45. The Greek verb myo means to close the mouth or shut the eyes. There is debate about whether myo plays a crucial role in the etymology of other significant words such as myth, mystery, and even music. These etymologies make sense within the Girardian hypotheses.
          Myth means to close ourselves to the victim
                and tell the tale according to the perpetrator's perspective;
          mystery cults are based on the silence of the victims; music derives from drowning out
          the voice of the victim
THE ONLY MUSIC PASSAGE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT:
Luke 15:25 Now his elder son was in the field:
        and as he came and drew nigh to the house,
        he heard MUSICK and DANCING.

MUSICK g4858. συμφωνία sumphonia, soom-fo-nee´-ah; from 4859; UNISON OF SOUND (“symphony”), i.e. a concert of instruments (harmonious note): — music.
        g4859. σύμφωνος sumphonos, soom´-fo-nos; from 4862 and 5456; sounding together (alike), i.e. (figuratively) accordant (neuter as noun, agreement): — consent.
        g5456. φωνή phone, fo-nay´; probably akin to 5316 through the idea of disclosure; a tone (articulate, bestial or artificial); by implication, an address (for any purpose), saying or language: — noise, sound, voice.

Sumphonia the only time MUSIC is used in the New Testament
unison of sound, “tēn en tē ōdē harmonian, ē dē s. kaleitai” 
2. of two sounds only, musical concord, accord, such as the fourth, fifth, and octave

Notre-Dame school,  during the late 12th and early 13th centuries, an important group of composers and singers working under the patronage of the great Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris. The Notre-Dame school is important to the history of music because it produced the earliest repertory of polyphonic (multipart) music to gain international prestige and circulation.

Singing complicated songs with COMPLEX harmony Is KNOWN to create DISCOMFORT and the refuse to let Jesus be the Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor

"It is that in unison and unity they might glorify God the Father... in the background lurks the thought of the prejudice incurred for the final end to be promoted by the church when the fellowship of the saints is marred by suspicions and dissensions and in this case

particularly by the arrogance of the strong and the stumbling of the weak. No consideration could enforce the exhortation more strongly than to be reminded of the glory of God as the controlling purpose of all our attitudes and actions." (Murray, John, Romans, p. 201, Eerdmans).

Rom. 15:6 That ye may with ONE MIND and ONE MOUTH glorify God,
        even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The rich man and the poor man alike travel together to the boundary of death. [20]
        And I expect that the story of Odysseus came to exceed his experiences,
        through the sweet songs of Homer
[22] since there is a certain solemnity in his lies and winged artfulness,
        and poetic skill deceives, seducing us with stories,
        and the heart of the mass of men is blind.
For if [25] they had been able to see the truth, then mighty Aias, in anger over the arms,

(Lactantius, The Divine Institutes, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VII, p. 188
"But we have already spoken of spectacles: there remains one thing which is to be overcome by us,that we be not captivated by those things which penetrate to the innermost perception. (emotions only)
        For all those things which are unconnected with words, (just speaking in tongues)
        that is, pleasant sounds of the air and of strings,
        may be easily disregarded, because they do not adhere to us, and cannot be written...

1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood,
        how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
Is God, therefore, the contriver both of the mind, and of the voice, and of the tongues, unable to speak eloquently?  Yea, rather, with the greatest foresight,
       
This: He wished those things which are divine to be without adornment, [Kosmos or Cosmos]
        that all might understand the things which He Himself spoke to all." 

Therefore God made all things to supply a contest between two things.
Not This: Those enticements of pleasures, then, are the instruments [carnal weapons, lifeless instruments] of that whose only business it is to subdue virtue,
        and to shut out justice from men.
        With these soothing influences and enjoyments it captivates their souls;
        for it knows that pleasure is the contriver of death. 
Aristotle: Melody Deceives: "Poets also make use of this in inventing words, as a melody "without strings" or "without the lyre"; for they employ epithets from negations, a course which is approved in proportional metaphors..
The form of diction should be neither metrical nor without rhythm. If it is metrical, it lacks persuasiveness, for it appears artificial, and at the same time it distracts the hearer's attention,
since it sets him on the watch for the recurrence of such and such a cadence..

According to Philo, 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 devotes, that they have set their lies to melodies, rhythms and meters.." Click for more.

Aristot. Nic. Eth. 1175b.1
But things that are akin to things of different kinds must themselves differ in kind.
        [3] A still clearer proof may be drawn
        from the hindrance that activities
        receive from the pleasure derived from other activities.

For instance, persons fond of the flute
        cannot give their attention to a philosophical discussion [The LOGOS or Regulative Principle]
        when they overhear someone playing the flute,
        because they enjoy music more than the activity in which they are engaged;
                therefore the pleasure afforded by the music of the flute
                impairs the activity of study.

[4] The same thing occurs in other cases when a man tries to do two things at once; the pleasanter activity drives out the other, the more so if it is much more pleasant, until the other activity ceases altogether.

Hence, when we enjoy something very much, we can hardly do anything else; and when we find a thing only mildly agreeable, we turn to some other occupation; for instance, people who eat sweets at the theater do so especially when the acting is bad.

[ 5] And since our activities [of the flute] are sharpened, prolonged and improved by their own pleasure, and impaired by the pleasures of other activities, it is clear that pleasures differ widely from each other. In fact alien pleasures have almost the same effect on the activities as their own pains; since,
        when an activity causes pain, this pain destroys it,
         for instance, if a person finds writing or doing sums unpleasant and irksome;
        for he stops writing or doing sums, because the activity is painful.

SINGING AT MOUNT SINAI WAS A SIN BEYOND REDEMPTION.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF PROPAGANDA THERE WAS NO SINGING IN THE 'SCHOOL OF CHRIST' UNTIL AFTER THE REFORMATION. Chanting the Bible text at first was a clergy function as the Levites had been the only singers-players unto after god had turned Israel over to worship the Host of Heaven.

Sixteenth-century hymnodists were fully aware of the importance of biblically based texts if their hymns were to fulfil their kerygmatic purpose. The title page of the first Lutheran hymn book, Das Achtliederbuch (1524), attests to this as it states: "Some Christian hymns, canticles, and Psalms, made according to the pure Word of God, from Holy Scriptures, by several very learned men, to sing in church as it is in part already practiced in Wittenberg."

Thomas Munzer, the radical German reformer, was already producing German services and hymns. In order to protect his people from Munzer’s teachings, Luther decided to provide hymns of his own.

Congregational singing was largely the invention of the Protestant Reformation. Before then, singing in churches, especially in larger urban churches, was largely left to professionals.[2] The reformers in Strasbourg, in particular, reduced the church service largely to a sermon bookended by congregational singing and prayers.[2]

Müntzer, Thomas (1488/9-1525) - GAMEO

In 1520 MUNZER was a priest in Zwickau (Saxony), where he met Nicolaus Storch, the inspirationist and "'prophet" who proclaimed that the Bible is secondary to the direct revelation of God to His chosen servants.

Isn't that self evident if you silence the WORD (which outlaws singiing) and sing sentimental poetry to complex harmony?

 Müntzer felt akin to this viewpoint and began to develop his own doctrine of the "spirit."

The Zurich Anabaptists and Thomas Münzer

The letter of Conrad Grebel ad his friends at Zurich to Thomas Miinzer,

"Thomas Müntzer (Muentzer, Muntzer) was perhaps the most controversial figure of the period of the German Reformation, a man who has been called at various times the "beginner of the great Anabaptist movement," the forerunner of modern socialism, the beginner of the mystical-spiritualistic movement in Germany, a religious socialist, the leader in the Peasants' War 1525,   

We understand and have seen that thou hast translated the mass into German and hast introduced new German hymns.
        That cannot be well, for we find nothing taught in the New Testament about SINGING, no example of it.

Paul scolds the learned Corinthians more than he praises them, because they mumbled in meeting as if they sang, just as the Jews and the Italians chant their words song- fashion.

Secondly, since SINGING in Latin grew up without divine instruction and apostolic example and custom, without producing good or edifying, it will still [93] less edify in German and will create a faith consisting in mere outward seeming.

Thirdly, Paul even clearly forbids SINGING in Eph. 5, and Col. 3, since he says and teaches
        that they are to SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER
        and TEACH one another WITH psalms and spiritual songs,
              AND if anyone would SING, he should SING and give thanks IN his heart.

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

"Fourthly, whatever we are not taught by clear passages or examples must be regarded as forbidden,
        just as if it were written: "This do not; SING not."

Fifthly, Christ in the Old and especially in the New Testament bids his messengers simply proclaim the word.
Paul, too, says that the WORDS of Christ profits us, not the song.

Whoever SINGS poorly gets vexation by it; whoever can SING WELL  gets conceit.

Sixthly, we must not follow our notions; we must add nothing TO THE WORD and take nothing from it.

Seventhly, if you want to abolish the mass, it must not be done by supplanting it with German SINGING,
        which perhaps is thy device, or comes from Luther.
        It must be rooted up by the word and command of Christ.' 9.

The words found in Matt. 26, Mark 14, Luke 22, and 1 Cor. ii alone are to be used, no more, no less.
He who serves [as leader] from among the church shall pronounce them from one of the evangelists or from Paul. 13.
They are the words of the instituted meal of fellowship, not words of consecration. 

Go forward WITH THE WORD and establish a Christian church with the help of Christ and his rule,
        as we find it instituted Matthew i8 and applied in the epistles.

Use determination and common prayer and decision according to faith and love, without command or compulsion,
        then God will help thee and thy little flock to all sincerity, and the SINGING and the tablets will CEASE.
        There is more than enough of wisdom and counsel in the Scripture,
        how all classes and all men may be taught, governed, instructed, and turned to piety.

Whoever will not amend and believe, but resists the word and doings of God and thus persists,
        such a man, after Christ and his word and rule have been declared to him
        and he has been admonished in the presence of the three witnesses and the church,
        such a man we say, taught by God's word, shall not be killed,
        but regarded as a heathen and publican and let alone.

 If thou art willing to defend war, the tablets, SINGING, or other things which thou doest not find in express words of Scripture, as thou doest not find the points mentioned, then I admonish thee by the common [98] salvation of us all that thou wilt cease therefrom and from all notions of thine own now and hereafter, then wilt thou be completely pure, who in other points pleasest us better than anyone in this German and other countries.
