The Father's fullness of deity is absolutely dependent (subservient, reliant) upon the Son's deity and the deity of the Holy Spirit; their dependence upon the Father for the derivation (origin, beginning, source) of their deity is no greater than the Father's dependence  (subordination, need of, subservience) on their dependence. P. 44-45  (Mutual begetting from all eternity) H.Leo.Boles

John 5:26 For as the Father HATH LIFE IN HIMSELF
         so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John 5:27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also,
        because he is the SON OF MAN
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just;
        because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

H. leo Boles invented the blasphemy in 1938 at Freed Hardeman when I was 8 years old  It was put into print in 1942 and is still the liberal LU version:

Eph. 4:30 And grieve not the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD,
        whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

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. 

For centuries no one thought that:

       SPEAKING psalms. hymns and spiritual (inspired) songs
        said SINGING psalms, hymns and spiritual much less abandoning Scripture in favor of sentimental songs.

The Whole Church Sings: Congregational Singing in Luther's Wittenberg. By Robin A. Leaver. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 2017. 206 pp.

How did congregational hymn singing get its start in Wittenberg, the center of the Reformation? That is the basic question that Robin Leaver seeks to revisit. The traditional assumption held by many scholars (including Leaver himself in earlier years) is that congregational singing was not emphasized in Wittenberg until perhaps the end of the 1520s with the publication of Geistliche Leider by Joseph Klug in 1529. The presence of various hymnals from other cities supported that conclusion. The first hymnal of the Reformation, the Etlich cristliche Lider (the so-called Achtliederbuch, or Book of Eight Songs) was published in Nuremburg in 1524. Hymnals were published in other cities such as Erfurt, Rostock, and Zwickau. Wittenberg's hymnal was Johann Walter's Geystliche gesangk Buchleyn published in 1524.
        However, it was a choir book, published for four voices in choir book format.
        It was obviously not intended for the congregation.
        Some recent studies have concluded that, in general,
        congregational hymn singing in most areas was slow to develop,
        and Wittenberg was no exception.

Rev 9.16.24

Matt. 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
         for ye devour widows’ houses,
        and for a pretence make long prayer:
        therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Mark 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine,
         Beware of the scribes,
         which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Mark 12:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues,
        and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
Mark 12:40 Which devour widows’ houses,
        and for a pretence MAKE LONG PRAYERS:
        these shall receive greater damnation.

THAT HAS NEVER CHANGED: The Pharisees had to fabricate their own HYMNS and sermons to justify a greater fee.

A matter which, by a kind of divine direction, has sprung out of the subjects we have now been discussing.

           What is my object in saying this?
                It is to explain that all utterances and vocal expressions
                have preludes and tunings-up (as one might call them),
                which provide a kind of artistic preparation
                which assists towards the further development of the subject.

        no one has ever yet uttered a prelude, or composed or published one, just as though there were no such thing.
But our present conversation proves, in my opinion, that there is such a thing; and it struck me just now that the laws we were then stating are something more than simply double, and consist of these two things combined—law, and prelude to law.

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,

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.

THE ONLY WAY TO WORSHIP GOD IN THE PHYSICAL SENSE

worship in Hebrew

Gen. 17:3 And Abram FELL ON HIS FACE: and God talked with him, saying, Gen. 17:17 Then Abraham FELL UPON HIS FACE, and laughed, and said in his heart,         Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? Gen. 50:18 And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants. Lev. 9:24 And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and FELL ON THEIR FACES   Num. 14:5  Then Moses and Aaron FELL ON THEIR FACES before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. Num. 16:4 And when Moses heard it, he FELL UPON HIS FACE Num. 16:22 And they FELL UPON THEIR FACES and said,         O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh,          shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation? Num. 16:45 Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment.         And they FELL ON THEIR FACES Num. 20:6 And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they FELL ON THEIR FACES:         and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them. Num. 22:31 Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head,          and FELL FLAT ON HIS FACE Josh. 5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua          FELL ON HIS FACE to the earth,         and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? Josh. 7:6 ¶ And Joshua rent his clothes,         and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD         until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. Judg. 13:20 For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it,         and FELL ON THEIR FACES to the ground. Ruth 2:10 Then she FELL ON HHER FACE,         and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him,         Why have I found grace in thine eyes,         that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger

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;

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

https://www.pineycom.com/Romans.12.This.Is.Your.Spiritual.Act.of.Worship.html

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.  
        ēn logikēn latreian humōn:

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.

        must compose myths and not speeches,
        since I was not a maker of myths, I took the myths of Aesop, which I had at hand and knew, and turned into verse the first I came upon. So tell Evenus that, Cebes, and bid him farewell, and tell him, if he is wise, to come after me as quickly as he can.

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

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."

For if [25] they had been able to see the truth, then mighty Aias, in anger over the arms,       would never have planted in his chest the smooth sword—Aias, who was the most powerful in battle, (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.

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.

"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.         For it is not planted by God. 10.          supper of fellowship Christ did institute and plant. ii. 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.
