Naomi Walters, like males has the urge to be a Phoebe BUT from the pulpit. The direct command by Christ in the wilderness was to PREACH the Word by READING the Word on the Sabbath: Sabbath means REST or STOP IT. See Dale Paul's refuting 1 Timothy 2. Christ gifted elders as the only pastor teachers commanded to teach that which has been taught--vocational teachers. In Epesians 4 the cunning craftsmen or sophists (speakers, singers, instrument players) because THEY ARE LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.Naomi Walters
DALE PAUL 1 TIMOTHY 2
No the Spirit OF Christ who guided Paul into all truth was NOT ignorant and just waiting for a theologian to decide what Jesus WOULD have said IF he had a degree as As a doctor of the Law.
Work excludes sending out ministers of God, engaging in vocal or instrumental rejoicing, rhetoric or speaking your own words or intending to twist Paul by publiic performance which automatically exercises the authentia authority which is erotic and murderous. Paul silenced both men and women: the men to lift holy hands to prevent wrath or an orgy (worship service) and the women because the singular one-piece pattern is That all might be saved or safe and come to a knowledge of the truth. Neither male nor female has the truth. The women are to be silence because all of pagan priestesses were oracles and could get you a message from a god if you gave her some money. They all forget that THERE IS ONE GOD THE FATHER and ONE MEDIATOR between man and God, the man Jesus Christ.
God pronounced Messiah as the SON of a Father to debunk all paganism that the messenger was the DAUGHTER of a MOTHER GODDESS.
Female Dominated Universities boast that they will produce so many women preachers that churches of Christ will be forced to hire them. It is to despise the Word of God or blasphemy to think that one needs to get a degree in false teaching in order to tell everyone what Paul WOULD HAVE SAID if he had been as smart as a modern theologian. Theology points ONLY to the study of the pagan gods such as Abaddon-Apollyon who is the king of the LOCUSTS who are the MUSES. Apollo is the spirit guide to all of the arts and crafts of the muses used to make people dumb before the slaughter.

Judgment Predicted:
After the title of the book (ver. 1) here is, I. A threatening of the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem, an utter destruction, by the Chaldeans, ver. 2-4. II. A charge against them for their gross sin, which provoked God to bring that destruction upon them (ver. 5, 6); and so he goes on in the rest of the chapter, setting both the judgments before them, that they might prevent them or prepare for them, and the sins that destroy them, that they might judge themselves, and justify God in what was brought upon them. 1. They must hold their peace because they had greatly sinned, ver. 7-9. But, 2, They shall howl because the trouble will be great. The day of the Lord is near, and it will be a terrible day, ver. 10-18. Such fair and timely warning as this did God give to the Jews of the approaching captivity; but they hardened their neck, which made their destruction remediless. Matthew HenryPeople Exhorted to Repent:
In this chapter we have, I. An earnest exhortation to the nation of the Jews to repent and make their peace with God, and so to prevent the judgments threatened before it was too late (ver. 1-3), and this inferred from the revelation of God's wrath against them in the foregoing chapter. II. A denunciation of the judgments of God against several of the neighbouring nations that had assisted, or rejoiced in, the calamity of Israel. 1. The Philistines, ver. 4-7. 2. The Moabites and Ammonites, ver. 8-11. 3. The Ethiopians and Assyrians, ver. 12-15. All these shall drink of the same cup of trembling that is put into the hands of God's people, as was also foretold by other prophets before and after. Matthew Henry
The Depravity of Jerusalem
We now return to Jerusalem, and must again hear what God has to say to her, I. By way of reproof and threatening, for the abundance of wickedness that was found in her, of which divers instances are given, with the aggravations of them, ver. 1-7. II. By way of promise of mercy and grace, which God had yet in reserve for them. Two general heads of promises here are:-- 1. That God would bring in a glorious work of reformation among them, cleanse them from their sins, and bring them home to himself; many promises of this kind here are, ver. 8-13. 2. That he would bring about a glorious work of salvation for them, when he had thus prepared them for it, ver. 14-20. Thus the "Redeemer shall come to Zion," and to clear his own way, shall "turn away ungodliness from Jacob." These promises were to have their full accomplishment in gospel-times and gospel-graces. Matthew Henry

........ he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.Isa 5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them
Isa 5:12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Isa 5:13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the HYPOCRITES. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? Isaiah 33: 14
When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. Is.4:4

Paul declared that there was no LAW called "The Law of Giving" which supports Rubel Shelly. Because the TITHE repudiates the death of Christ and CLAIMS the role of PRIEST and MUSICAL LEVITE, such monies are DECEITFULLY and FRAUDULENTLY collected.

Most preachers would say that Israel just had a bad mental attitude. However, the music and other rituals condemned by Amos is the VERY worship Stephen said God TURNED THEM OVER TO as a result of the musical idolatry at mount Sinai.
The Apostle Paul spoke in several ways to the Corinthian DISUNITY IN DIVERSITY. In the second letter he defines the PROFESSIONAL super apostles by defining himself IF he took a way: they would be Robbers. Secondly, Paul quoted Isaiah 33:
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 1 Cor 1:19
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? 1 Cor 1:20
The wise were the sOPHISts where Ophis is the SERPENT or musical harlot in the end time churches as she was Lucifer in the garden of Eden as a musical enchanter. Sophia (wise) in Gnosticism is the SERPENT while ZOE is the BEAST and the FEMALE INSTRUCTING PRINCIPLE. This proves that the fall was a LUCIFER - ZOE (Eve) combine.
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. 1 Cor 1:21
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 1 Cor 1:22
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 1 Cor 1:23
[395] Sophistry is not wisdom, and to indulge in thoughts beyond man's ken is to shorten life; and if a man on such poor terms should aim too high, he may miss the pleasures in his reach.These, to my mind, are the ways of madmen and idiots. Oh! to make my way to Cyprus, isle of Aphrodite, where dwell the love-gods strong to soothe man's soul, or to Paphos, which that foreign river, never fed by rain, enriches with its hundred mouths!
God HIDES from the Wise or Sophists.

The mowed is a synagogue. In the early festivals both the first and seventh days were for a holy convocation. This word meant to REHEARSE or READ the Word of God at the beginning and ending days of animal sacrifice. The "songs" were really chants with no musical notations. See Jewish Liturgical Music.
The Qahal in the wilderness outlawed instruments and loud rejoicing specificially because this would create anxiety as the PANIC ALARM. The ekklesia Jesus died to build had the Lord's Supper added to the synagogue. It, like the synagogue, was a solemn assembly:
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve [worship] God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Heb 12:28
For our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:29
Godly fear is:
Eulabeia (g2124) yoo-lab'-i-ah; from 2126; prop. caution, i.e. (religiously) reverence (piety); by impl. dread (concr.): - fear (- ed).
What was the approved example of Jesus?
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Heb.5:7

Here is the way you DO the synagogue or the church in Paul's words for gather or assemble:
"Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. Acts 13:26
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 him (Setting Him at Nought). Acts 13:27
Blowing the shofar or playing instruments was unlawful for the seventh day sabbath. See more on the Synagogue.
"Making music" was unlawful in Numbers 10:7 when the people assembled or synagogued ONLY for reading or rehearsing the WORD on the First and Seventh day of the festivals. Many early churches did SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE on the SEVENTH of the seven, but the Lord's Supper was always on the FIRST of the seven.
Paul defined for the assembly which could ignore DIVERSITY which did not DO worship rituals which ALWAYS divides and sows discord:
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Rom 15:3
Please means to PLEASURE to create mental excitement and "music" has never had any other purpose to make people attend and contribute and almost never to do what Paul demanded:
For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. Rom 15:3
Reproach in Zep 3:18 is:
Cherphah (h2781) kher-paw'; from 2778; contumely, disgrace, the pudenda: - rebuke, reproach (-fully), shame.
Oneidizo (h3679) on-i-did'-zo; from 3681; to defame, i.e. rail at, chide, taunt: - cast in teeth, (suffer) reproach, revile, upbraid.
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: 4
Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: Rom 15: 5
That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom 15: 6
Let's hear 3:18 again:
Zep 3:18 I will gather them that are sorrowful
........ for the solemn assembly, who are of thee,

........ and I will save HER that halteth,
........ and gather HER that was driven out;
........ ........ and I will get them praise and fame
........ ........ in every land where they have been put to shame.Zep 3:20 At that time will I bring you again,
........ even in the time that I gather you:
........ for I will make you a name and a praise
........ ........ among all people of the earth,
........ ........ when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.11.03.14
