Preaching for Pay And Simony
2.Corinthians.2 Which.Corrupt.The.Word
Preaching.for.Pay.and.Simony A Church of Christ has no professional roles and no lawful dole for those who see godliness as a means of financial gain or profession. A godly evangelists obeys the command of Jesus Christ and Goes into the world as teacher of that which is written for our learning. If you give money for STAFF and MINISTERS not connected with teaching the Word, Logos or Regulative Principle of God without additions or changes the Bible and history calls them PARASITES.

Jesus paid the "temple tax" and Paul insisted that "laying by in story" is not "at church" but by yourself. He denied that giving even for the famished was a command. Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: in Ezekiel they are preachers for pay, singers and instrument players. Jesus condemned the Pharisees for making up their own songs and sermons (hymns) so that they could escape teaching the Word: they did this so they could eat up the widow's meager living.

But, how can that work? Christ defined the Qahal, synagogue, ekklesia or Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wilderness. The pattern never changed: Rest, Read and rehearse the Word of God. If you have a huge staff of "ministers" they were always called parasites and whatever function you decide to add is NOT remotely related to being A Church of Christ: A School of Christ in the Prophets and Apostles.

TO QUALIFY AS A BIG-CHURCH PREACHER a "Christian University" will sell you the credentials for about $40,000.00 A year. Little of that will have anything to do with the Bible. The connections will give you the "showing of favoritism" to find a top paying position.

Everything beyond sacrificially teaching that which has been taught qualifies you!

You, in turn have to abandon your personal Discipleship and turn the "keys to knowledge" over to a Doctor: Jesus says they are DESTINED to take away that Key.

He or she will drag along a dozen or so other "ministers" to silence both elders and deacons. You in turn will violate Christ's Command NOT to pay for the Free Water of the Word.

HOW TO MARK SIMONY FOR AVOIDANCE:

Simony: the buying or selling of ecclesiastical privileges or ROLES, for example pardons or benefices. The term also extends to other forms of trafficking for money in "spiritual things".

Simony (sĬm´ənē), in canon law, buying or selling of any spiritual benefit or office. The name is derived from Simon Magus, who tried to buy the gifts of the Holy Spirit from St. Peter (Acts 8). Simony is a very grave sin, and ecclesiastics who commit it may be excommunicated. The temporal price may be one of many kinds, e.g., money or high office. What is sold may be the performance of a sacrament or any other spiritual service; it is also simony to sell a benefice or endowment or other temporality to which anything spiritual is attached. ... the sale of indulgences is prohibited in any form, and no blessed article may be sold as blessed.

He or she probably has access to "sermons" and CDs for which you must pay. He will if possible pour out a steady stream of books claiming to have A Spiritual Gift: Why else would he want to sell you when every family has several Bibles and you can get them for free?

THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST FORBIDS SELLING HIS WORD IN ANY FORM.

Is. 55:1   Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
        and he that hath no money;
        come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk
        without money and without price.
Is. 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
        and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
        hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good,
        and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Is. 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: HEAR, and your soul shall live;
        and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Is. 55:4 Behold, I have given him [Jesus] for a witness to the people,
        a leader and commander to the people.

Is. 55: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
        and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him;
        and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

The fatal insult to a Holy God for claiming that you can aid or assist God and fill in the blanks? You have to call the Spirit OF Christ a liar when you claim that A spirit person gives you power?

Is. 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
        neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Is. 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
        so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Is. 55:10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven,
        and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
        and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower,
        and bread to the eater:

Doth this offend you?
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.

Is. 55:11 So shall my WORD be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
        it shall not return unto me void,
        but it shall accomplish that which I please,
        and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

A female leader noted that "we will produce women ministers so fast that churches will be forced to HIRE them." She understood that the ambitious would have to PAY her university an obscene price so that she-they could BESTOW the power to perform the roles always called sorcery. She-they also CLAIM that anyone who procures an endorsement will have the GIFT of A holy spirit to guide them "beyond the sacred pages."

If you PROCURE the Certificate honored by too many not APT elders, you can claim that "a" spirit told you that the God of the Levite exorcists ordained to execute you if you came near any "holy" place that their God NOW commands that you can lie, cheat and steal the church house and flock of any and all you feel the need to betray.

Carroll D. Osburn ACU: On pages 14-15: "With so many questions flying around and so much uncertainty being expressed in various quarters, what an opportunity for the various faculties of our Christian colleges and universities to help shape the future! These are the best of times to be involved in Christian education!

If we are to have a truly significant impact upon the national and international scene, faculties of religion must play leading prophetic roles in channeling and facilitating whatever changes loom ahead.

We sent them to youth rallies and Church of Christ events
        with some of the finest Christian bands in the world.
        We discipled our children to leave our Movement!

Rick Atchley: Can you REALLY think that "a spirit" told you that God commanded instrumental praise in YOUR happy church of Christ and I INTEND to make certain that YOU do not disobey what "a" spirit told me to do: Sorry, I promised not to do that to you but THAT was THEN and THIS is NOW.

Speakers for hire, singers, instrument players are all called merchants: the ugly word "prostitute" is included in Paul's not "corrupting the Word" or selling GIFT OF LEARNING at wholesale.

Simon Magnus was a Magi, magician and a primary meaning of a sophists (from whom God hides) who is a speaker for hire, a singer, an instrument player or actor.

Arnobius, Heresies IV May it not happen, may it not come to pass, although you craftily conceal it, that the one should take the other's place, deluding, mocking, deceiving, and presenting the appearance of the deity invoked?

If the magi, who ares o much akin to soothsayers [Levites], relate that, in their incantations, pretended gods steal in frequently instead of those invoked; that some of these, moreover, are spirits of grosser substance, who pretend that they are gods, and delude the ignorant by their lies and deceit,- why should we not similarly believe that here, too, others substitute themselves for those who are not, that they may both strengthen your superstitious beliefs, and rejoice that victims are slain in sacrifice to them under names not their own?

33. Your gods, it is recorded, dine on celestial couches, and in golden chambers, drink,
        and are at last soothed by the music of the lyre, and singing .
        You fit them with ears not easily wearied;
        and do not think it unseemly to assign to the gods
        the pleasures by which earthly bodies are supported,
      and which are sought after by ears enervated by the frivolity of an unmanly spirit.

You can claim that you have NEW SPECTACLES and are getting a new vision or image of what the Church of Christ WOULD be if Jesus had the benefit of a Phd from the people who market certificates of supernatural power. From LU Rubel Shelly Re-Visioning The Church

Acts 8: 6 the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip,
        with one accord, in their hearing
        and seeing the signs that HE was doing,
Acts 8:7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed,
        crying with a loud voice,
        and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Acts 8:8 and there was great joy in that city.

THE NEW THEOLOGIANS INTEND TO HAVE THE POWER TO CAST OUT THE SPIRITS OF THOSE THEY OPPOSE.

The first introduction of instrumental music into the American Restoration under the Disciples and Christian churches were defended first in the year 1878.

Stark-Warlick Debate: One of the most remarkable and historic debates in which Warlick participated was with J. C. Stark, November, 1903, in Henderson, Tennessee, where the church had been taken over by the digressives and the instrument installed. J. C. Clark, of Christian Church fame, was campaigning in West Tennessee, literally bombarding the churches on the instrumental music issue, an innovation threat to all the churches of Christ west of the Tennessee River. Through the solicitation of two young professors who were notable in the effort to stay the tide of digression—A. G. Freed and N. B. Hardeman—Joe Warlick was brought from Texas to Henderson to debate Stark. This debate stopped the music movement and had it not been held then, the history of churches in West Tennessee would have been very different. This debate saved the church from being swept into the Christian church movement.

Stark: The whole thing comes from a devilish, domineering spirit, which, instead of worshiping God, has taken God's seat in judgment to control the praise others might bring It is well enough to teach them: but "rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and stubborness is as iniquity and idolatry." (1 Slam. 15:23) If taken as he is to the "city of gold," he would surely raise hell in heaven and make all "know and feel what it is to be there."
Like Paul's '"man of sin," they have taken their place in the temple of God and assume to speak as God.

SIMON MAGUS WAS A MAGICIAN WHICH WORD USES SPEAKING, SINGING, PLAYING INSTRUMENTS AND SLIGHT OF HAND TO "MAKE THE LAMBS DUMB BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER."

Watching a Christ-Gifted Philip was a merchant of the supernatural:

Acts 8:9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic [ma^g-euō], and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,

IN THE WORDS OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS "FOOLS LOVE TO BE FOOLED." The "many" fleecing the Corinthians said Paul was not worthy of a wage. Paul said that "you put up with fools very well."

So, the Corinthians and just about everyone loves to have someone claim supernatural power.

Acts 8:10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great,

Acts 8:11 and they were giving heed to him,

That means that you have received an addictive sexual-like climax sold to you as a "spiritual encounter."

BUT, SIMONY GETS JEALOUS WHEN THEY SEE THE POWER OF GOD.

Acts 8:12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

The Apostles and their Evangelists were given supernatural power. The object was not theatrical but to validate the WORD of the Evangelists.

Acts 8:18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands
        the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money
Acts 8:19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands,
        he may receive the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee,
        because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Doctors of the Law make you PAY them to perform the profession of SpiritualFormation. They claim that a holy spirit PERSON or PEOPLE can be caused to enter and grow inside of your body: that would be a much more outrageous expectation than Simon Magnus who wanted the power to speak in all languages: that would certainly be a magical power.

People willingly PAY people who claim that they can massage your spirit and make it grow. People market themselves as Worship leaders able to LEAD you or conduct you into the presence of God. They make you pay them to EXPOUND the Word when Jesus expounded the prophets so that all of the expounding has been done by Christ in the Apostles fulfilling the Prophecies of the Spirit OF Christ.

The Doctors of the Law have mounted their marketing sect using music. Music was always called "sacred violence" because the performers intended to induce a "hurt" to enchant your rational or spiritual mind long enough to fleece the lambs.

Abaddon or Apollyon was unleashed as the King of the Locusts: the locusts were the MUSES who were sent to the smokey pit because the had deceived the whole world once. Revelation 18 calls the craftsmen and muses sorcerers who HAD deceived the world once and they will be or are Cast Alive into the Lake of Fire.

Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or sophists: as musicians they are enchanters and Magus. Nothing gives the mega churches more power than buying or procuring MUSES or the "musical worship team." The universities SELL skills and CERTIFICATES, the not APT elders buy the ACapella (castrated Opra singers) and they SELL them to the audience by using psychological violence forcing them with "tithes and offerings" to procure the performers. Caroll Wimber and the Fuller-Vineyard connect says that the musicians bring on a sexual-like climax just before the last ACT of worship: giving of substance or paying for what the Egyptian Huxley called a visual and aural orgasm.
