Plutarch Mark Anthony The Music in Ephesus
There is never a God-given command, example or inference of anyone said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrumenet or self-exhibition or speaking or PAY TO PLAY.
Paul said to be filled with Spirit or the WILL of Jesus and then SPEAK the revealed TEXT. Ode (sing) or Psallo (never a musical melody much less harmony PURPOSE DRIVEN to shut down your rational mind. KOMA is said to be induced by instrumental sounds not often provided by complex harmony. This is truth left in CLAY Vessels or Canvas and never in WINESKINS. This is why up to half of the owners flee when instruments or show-and-tell women mount the podium. There is no PODIUM nor TAKERS of Shekals in Christ quiety and secret school.
X.Mem.1.6.13 Xen. Mem. 1.6.1
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,
fulfills the duty of a citizen and a gentleman.

Walter Brueggemann - Was professor of OT at Columbia Theological Seminary supports gay marriage and denies the authority of scripture."It is for this reason that Brueggemann argues that homosexuals should be granted equal rights and privileges in both civil society (i.e. marriage) and the church (i.e. ordination). Those who oppose the granting of such rights have divorced themselves from the justice tradition and are more concerned with issues of purity.

If we are to have a truly significant IMPACT upon the national and INTERNATIONAL scene,
faculties of religion must play leading PROPHETIC roles in CHANNELLING and FACILITATING whatever changes loom ahead.
Trainers use PROPHETIC roles to Channel and Facilitate the method of
SUBVERTING the 'hierarchial " views of JESUS and PAUL.
"Feminist HERMENEUTICS stands over AGAINST patriarchal HERMENEUTICS"

Numerous such incremental changes, like EROSION,
will eventually bring DOWN the FORTRESS "
"The Bible is not so much a 'heaven-sent answer book'
as a historical book PRODUCED within and for a historical COMMUNITY--
yet it SERVES as Scripture today

The patterns of self-reference by drama to drama as we see them in The Bacchae of Euripides reflect a crisis in the very genre of tragedy, in the context of drastic changes in Athenian society toward the end of the fifth century; the prospect is one of abrupt confrontation and loss." -- Nagy, Pindar's Homer p. 388

Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination [Puthon the SERPENT] met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Acts 16:17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
Acts 16:18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Acts 16:19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
Acts 16:20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
