WHY WHINE, WOMEN, SONG AND FORTUNES CANNOT CAUSE ONE "SON FROM GOD, PILGRIM AND SOJOURNER" TO FIND THE "WAY THAT IS SECTARIAN"--THE ROAD, PATTERN, GATE OR METHOD .
WHEN YOU FAIL TO LOVE THE HOLY SCRIPTURES WHICH ARE FINAL AND A PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY, GOD SENDS A STRONG DELUSION THAT YOU ARE FORCED TO BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES TO BE DAMNED WITH ADEQUATE WARNING.
LYING WONDERS ARE THE MARK THAT AS IN AMOS 8 WHEN THE SINGING IN THE TEMPLE BECOMES HOWLING, IT IS MARKED BY "BASKETS OF SUMMER FRUITS", GOD HAS BEEN THERE AND WILL NEVER PASS. BY THERE AGAIN

This Dionysus they call Melpomenus (Minstrel), on the same principle as they call Apollo Musegetes (Leader of the Muses). Here there are images of Athena Paeonia (Healer), of Zeus, of Mnemosyne (Memory) and of the Muses, an Apollon, the votive offering and work of Eubulides, and Acratus, a daemon attendant upon Apollon; it is only a face of him worked into the wall.

Plato Republic 3 True, he said.
And therefore when any one of these pantomimic gentlemen
are so clever that they can imitate anything, comes to us,
and makes a proposal to exhibit himself and his poetry,
we will fall down and worship him
as a sweet and holy and wonderful being;
BUT we must also inform him that in our State such as he are not permitted to exist; the law will not allow them.
And so when we have anointed him with myrrh,
and set a garland of wool upon his head,
we shall send him away to another city.
For we mean to employ for our souls' health the rougher and severer poet or story-teller, who will imitate the style of the virtuous only, and will follow those models which we prescribed at first when we began the education of our soldiers.GOD NEEDS NO "INTERCESSOR" TO SPEAK TO MOSES AS PROPHET

This is the ANTITHESIS of Pagans
Holy Scripture provides not one person ever said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, stage performance or PAY TO PLAY.
Scripture and history identifies any worship by the hands of MEN as worshiping demons, the BEAST and is therefore end-time MADNESS to replace the GOSPEL as the ONLY power to salvation with MEGA-INDUSTRIAL-GRADE-PERFORMANCE

It may help us to understand that the Greek word lelein refers primarily to utterance rather than to meaningful conversation. The term is used repeatedly in chapter 14 to describe speaking in tongues. Phrynichus, the ancient dictionarian, defined the term as 'to talk nonsense'.
The word is used of gossip, prattling, babbling, animal sounds, and musical instruments. During the classical period, it usually was employed in a contemptuous sense. Debrunner, writing in the Kittle-Friedrich Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, states 'Lalein can also be used quite objectively
of speech when there is reference to sound rather than than meaning. 'To what kind of utterance can St. Paul refer? There were many types of vocalization in ecstatic rites.

Plato Ion 534a continues to speak of the female musical worship team - the Muses: For all the good epic poets utter all those fine poems not from art, but as inspired and possessed, and the good lyric poets likewise; [534a] just as... the Corybantian worshippers do not dance when in their senses,so the lyric poets do not indite those fine songs in their senses,
but when they have started on the melody and rhythm
they begin to be frantic, and it is under possession--
as the bacchants are possessed, and not in their senses,
when they draw honey and milk from the rivers--
that the soul of the lyric poets does the same thing, by their own report.For the poets tell us, I believe, that the songs they bring us are the sweets they cull from honey-dropping founts [534b] in certain gardens and glades of the Muses-- like the bees, and winging the air as these do.1 And what they tell is true.
"For a poet is a light and winged and sacred thing, and is unable ever to indite until he has been inspired and put out of his senses, and his mind is no longer in him: every man, whilst he retains possession of that, is powerless to indite a verse or chant an oracle. Seeing then that it is not by art that they compose and utter so many fine things about the deeds of men--
The Corybantes were priests of Cybele or Rhea, mother of Zeus and other Olympian gods, and she was worshipped with wild music and frenzied dancing which, like the bacchic revels or orgies of women in honor of Dionysus, carried away the participants despite and beyond themselves. Cf. Eurip. Bacchae.
Had he learned by rules of art, he would have known how to speak not of one theme only, but of all; and therefore
god takes away the minds of poets,
and uses them as his ministers,
as he also uses diviners and holy prophetess,
in order that we who hear them may know them to be speaking not of themselves who utter these priceless words in a state of unconsciousness, but that god himself is the speaker, and that through them he is conversing with us.
John3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given ALL THINGS into his hand.Luke 10:22 ALL THINGS, are delivered to me of my Father:

earth, because thou hast
HID these things from the wise [sophōn] and prudent,
and hast revealed them unto babes.
The Wise are Sophists: speakers, singers, instrument players especially "melody in a holy place." This marks the worship of Sophia the goddess as opposed to patriarchal worship.
Matthew 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.

and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,

And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 30:32 LXX

That is because it is the MARK of PHARISEES (Isa 29, Ezek. 26; 33) of telling God that you will speak your own words (Jesus calls sons of the Devil) which has the same effect as singing wiith a great voice and playing instruments well: you do not intend to to OBEY his word.

THE ETHICS AND METAPHYSICS OF MUSIC: PERFORMED TO AFFLICT
Music acts upon human beings, on their nervous systems and their vital processes: in 1849 Liszt wrote a song, “Die Macht der Musik” to a text by the Duchess Hele`ne d’Or le ́ans:MUSIC paying tribute to its own capacities.
This power— which poems and colors possess occasionally and indirectly—
is in the case ofMUSIC particularly immediate, drastic, and indiscreet:
“it penetrates to the center of the soul,” Plato says, “and gains P0SSESSION of the soul in the most energetic fashion,”
Moral Effects of Music
Schopenhauer, on this point, echoes Plato.
By means of massive irruptions, [overtones]
MUSIC takes up residence in our intimate self
and seemingly elects to make its home there.
The man inhabited and possessed by this intruder, [The meaning of sorcery]
the man ROBBED of a self, is no longer himself:
he has become nothing more than a vibrating string, a sounding pipe.

This process, at once IRRATIONAL and SHAMFUL, takes place on the margins of truth,
and thus borders more on magic than on empirical science.Something that wants to persuade us with singing,
rather than convince us with reason,
implements an art of pleasing that addresses the passions,
that is, one that subjugates in suggesting and that enslaves the listener
through the fraudulent and charlatan power of melody,
weakens him through harmonic glamour or the fascinations of rhythm.
To accomplish this, the process does not tap the logistical or governing aspects of the mind
but rather engages the mind’s entire psychosomatic element.
If mathematical discourse is thinking that wishes to make itself comprehensible
to other thought by becoming transparent to it,
a harmonic modulation is an act that expects to influence a being;
and by “influence” one must also understand a clandestine causality,
just as in astrology or sorcery: illegal maneuvers, black arts.
Solon the lawmaker is a sage, but Orpheus the enchanter is a magician.
A vocalization is not an excuse and a perfume is not an argument.Thus, when a human being reaches the age of reason,
he struggles against this unseemly and illegal seizure of his person,
not wanting to give in to enchantment,
that is, to go where the SONGS ARE LEADING
The magical induction becomes a seduction and thus trickery,
and an ADULT refuses to be captivated,
resisting the beliefs suggested to him by the auletic. [piper?]
A woman who persuades solely by means of her presence and its perfumes,
that is, by the magical exhalations of her being,
the night that envelops us, MUSIC, which secures our allegiance
solely through the Charm engendered by a TRILL or an ARPEGGIO,
will therefore be the object of a deep suspicion.

When the holy mother of the gods, recalling
how those same pines were felled on Ida's crest,
filled the wind with a sound of cymbals clashed
and TRILL of boxwood flutes. Borne through light air
by her famed lion yoke, she came and said,
“In vain you cast the fire with impious hand,
Turnus, for I will save this burning fleet.
I will not let the greedy flame consume
trees that were part and members of my grove.”
Being BEWITCHED is not worthy of a rational person.
Just as a MASCULINE
Will insists that its decisions are made on concrete grounds—
and will never admit a preference founded in emotion—
so MASCULINE Reason will never admit itself prone to seduction.
What is science for if not to sustain us against the intoxications of night
and the TEMPTATIONS exercised by the ENCHANTRESS appearance?

Music, the sonorous phantasm, is the most futile of mere appearances,
and appearance, which with neither the force to probe
nor any INTELLIGIBLE determinism
is nonetheless able to persuade the DAZZLED fool,
is in some way the objectification of our weakness.

along with his own skills of pleasing.
Strong and serious minds, prosaic and positive minds:
maybe their prejudice with regard to MUSIC comes from sobering up.
In the presence of the SCABROUS power unleashed by MUSIC,
a number of attitudes are possible.
We can distinguish three:
the right of use and enjoyment,
passionate resentment,
and refusal pure and simple.

The LADED BURDEN restored in these last days:
Markus in Reciting the Book: These effects have implications for understanding who controls the production and dissemination of a prestigious high genre like epic (the politics of literary production) and what role the public, non-dramatic, authorial reading aloud of epic plays in the construction of gender and social status.... In that regard, epic's position is parallel to that of rhetoric. Beginning with Aristotle's Rhetorica (1404a), critics of rhetorical performance have ascribed to lively delivery the same effect as that of acting. There is a persistent association between theatrics, bad rhetoric and effeminacy.
Nevertheless, I think that I need to be more explicit in stating that the music which I prescribe is not the modern music which has been emasculated by the lascivious melodies of the effeminate stage and has to no small extent destroyed the amount of manly vigor that we still possessed.
I refer rather to the music of old with which people used to sing the praises of brave men and which the brave themselves used to sing.
Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father:

"Philodemus considered it paradoxical that music should be regarded as veneration of the gods while musicians were paid for performing this so-called veneration. Again, Philodemus held as self deceptive the view that music mediated religious ecstasy. He saw the entire condition induced by the noise of cymbals and tambourines as a disturbance of the spirit.
He found it significant that, on the whole, only women and effeminate men fell into this folly.
Accordingly, nothing of value could be attributed to music; it was no more than a slave of the sensation of pleasure, which satisfied much in the same way that food and drink did.
"Women and girls from the different ranks of society were proud to enter the service of the gods as singers and musicians. The understanding of this service was universal: these singers constituted the 'harem of the gods'." (End of Quasten)

[4] There were likewise matches set of bodily exercise and of music; and the cities did severally set forth dances. Which things to have been so, is principally declared by Homer in these verses of his hymn to Apollo:
But thou, Apollo, takest most delight

SUDDENLY, RIGHT ON TIME, THE GUITAR AND ROCK MUSIC USURPED ORGAN AND PIANO.
KITHERA MYSTERY: The psaltery a triangular instrument similar to a harp, produced gentler sound and would be more suitable for somewhat restrained and low-key events, as would be the kithara, an instrument similar to the lyre.
Both were traditional instruments played in a variety of events, public and private, and were often accompanied by song, either by the performer him/herself or a singer. Aristotle attests that those musicians came from the lower social strata, and many of them, both men and women, were prostitutes hired to entertain guests in private parties.
Diphilos and Sophilos wrote plays entitled (kithara player and singer), where the gender could be either masculine or feminine. Moreover there are numerous specific references to psaltery and kithara players employed as prostitute entertainers. Aeschines, for example, attests that Misgolas, one of the alleged lovers of Timarchos, had a reputation for being very fond of kithara boys, while Antiphanes and Alexis confirm this with jokes about Misgolas and his kithara boys

The word "abomination" is also key to understanding the context. In Hebrew, the word "to 'evah," (abomination) is almost invariably linked to idolatry. In the passages from which both verses are taken, God tells Moses to tell the people not to follow the idolatrous practices of the people around them, people who sacrificed their children to Molech, or who masturbated into the fire to offer their semen to Molech, for example. Chapter 20 starts off with the same warning."To 'evah" also means "something which is ritually unclean," not something evil in itself, like rape or theft. Eating pork or having sex during menstruation are ritually unclean

So the best path to the highest favour of its god is the vileness which the Atellan [The ludi Atellani were so called from Atella, in Campania, where a vast amphitheatre delighted the inhabitants. Juvenal, Sat. vi. 71. The like disgrace our times.] gesticulates, which the buffoon in woman's clothes exhibits, destroying all natural modesty, so that they blush more readily at home than at the play, which finally is done from his childhood on the person of the pantomime, that he may become an actor.

It was Rubel Shelly whose Jubilee Movement invited the SIGNS and WONDERS and Tribulated prophecied for the year 2,000 Ad if you understand that Moses started God's Time Clock which began close to the 4000 BC date. That was when the gods or Elohim cast down the heavens and earth fitting the timeline of Sumer which collectivized people in a WORSHIP center focused around the Towers or Zigurats and the City State.
It was Max Lucado, Rubel Shelly and others who pronounced "The only role for the Church is to WORSHIP." They meant a clergy performing legalistic rituals centered on Self and Gender-Variant exhibitions.
According to Jude the revival of the Mount Sinai Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted was by men FOREORDAINED. That wide-spread movement amone Angels of Light led the Swamp Society. Religion has always been part of the Civil-Military-Clergy complex.
To prove the aberation, worship means to bow in Reverence and Godly Fear (Hebrews) understanding that GOD IS STILL A CONSUMING FIRE.
Worship in Hebrew and Greek examples is almost FALLING ON ONE'S FACE in fear and trembling.
Holy Scripture provides not a single example of anyone WORSHIPING by preaching, listening, singing, playing instruments, acting or PAY FOR PLAY. No! David never is said to WORSHIP with a harp.
There is not a single called assembly for worshiping by singing, praying or laying by in store.
There is no ACT called "leading in rote prayer."

Matt. 6:5 And when thou prayest,

PARASITE is a Greek Word for Sacrificial Systems which had been debunked: they still ATE without WORKING. Pastor of a Religious Institution is a PARASITE and CULT leader if the group is anythinb but an Ekklesia or Synagoge neither of which had a HIRED STAFF. Preacher or Kurux is a HERALD and does not have an OFFICE: he gets paid on the SENDING end, cannot open the gospel or "good news" to an official.Revelation 16:2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
There is not a single example in Holy Scripture or even the Chronicles and Kings Scribe Record after God turned them over to worship the starry host--including Apollo or apollyon. The only meaning of WORSHIP is to bow or most often fall on your face. The Preacher Class don't understand the meaning of WORSHIP or that Jesus established a A School built upon or Educated by the Prophets and Apostles. The prophets defined the future REST day to exclude any clergy. The elders and Deacons serve as educators both locally and as they GO. http://www.pineycom.com/Russ has to fleece the widows. This is a new counter.
The Spirit OF Christ speaks in a spiritual sense only to the Prophets: there He defined the Church of Christ (the Rock) both inclusively and exclusively.
AGAIN MOCKING THE "REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE" AS ANTI-GOD'S VOICE.
PROOF ONE: WHY http://www.pineycom.com/Russ ADCOX AND THE POST-BIBLICAL THEOLOGIANS CANNOT BE CHRISTIANS.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
IF ye continue in my WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed;
The Word or Logos is not and cannot be a God: God's Word has the same meaning as HIS light or life. LOGOS is god's regulative principle which heaps BURNING on all who are ANTI-LOGOS.
The Word or Logos is used to REPUDIATE Hermes who was the Pagan gender-conflicted god of merchants, thieves and liars. He is KAIROS used as a pattern for new PLANTS. He was the messenger or intercessor of all Cults which go beyong the Ekklesia or a School of Christ.
God's WORD or LOGOS consists of inclusive and exclusive things connected with how God puts His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus for the last time without the help of A Holy Spirit person.

God didn't command the King, Kingdom, Priests, Levites, Animal Slaughter, singers, instrument players: God abandoned them to this because of their Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry at Mount Sinai for which there was no redemption. God saved David from execution:

and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
Acts 7:47 But Solomon built him an house.
Acts 7:48 Howbeit the most High
dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
Acts 7:50 Hath not my hand made all these things?
Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears,
ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
PROOF THREE:
There is not a single example of God's people, including David, who is ever said to WORSHIP by preaching, by listening, by singing, by making instrumental noise, acting or building houses and forcing the honest believers to PAY FOR PLAY.

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?
Christ in the prophets warns against the "Lying Pen of the Scribes." That is because Act 7 and any reading of Exodus and Christ in the prophets proves that God did NOT command the Civil-Military-Clergy complex, the temple, animal slaughter or the Levites who prophesied with instruments meaning that they were soothsayers used interchangeably with sorcerers such as the self-speakers, singers and instrument players in Revelation 18 whom John consigned to be cast alive into the Lake of Fire.
Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. In the Ezekiel 33 version He named self-speakers violating Isaiah 58, singers and instrument players. Christ left this as the MARK of men who will not or cannot obey the command to PREACH the Word (only) by READING the Word while others REST from the laded burdens (rhetorical or musical performances) or the Burden Laders. To that end, the Gift of the Spirit of Christ was to COMMAND that godly elders silence all of the cunning craftsmen or SOPHISTS:
A Sophist is a usurping speaker who speaks and demonstrates his SELF, a singer, instrument player, actor or dancer: dance is implicit in the music word which is not remotely hinted of in the never-instrumental commands to SPEAK the Biblical text. The Command in Ephesians 5 is that the ODE and PSALLO be SILENT.
1Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, [translator)
let him keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
Musical Instruments are LIFELESS INSTRUMENTS or CARNAL WEAPON. They are defined as a TONGUE by people who fulfill the meaning of music or mystery "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter." They did that to Jesus by mocking him instrumentally.There is no exception that when the Word, Logos (Regulative Principle) is replaced by rhetoricians or "hypocritical mockers at feasts" you are ALWAYS being attacked by sorcerers or Nicolatains. Notice that those who get the victory are agents of the Babylon Mother of Harlots working FOR the Goddess of Victory. In Isaiah 33 Christ warned that when you hear the sounds of wind, string or percussion instruments the GODDESS worshipers have neutered you. See Christ speaking through Isaiah 30. Christ said that Lucifer (documented in many ancient texts) was the Singing and Harp-Playing Prostitute in the Garden of Eden. Then in Isaiah 30 He defined the PATTERN for His Rest both inclusively and exclusively and said that the fleecees were being driven into HELL: In Revelation for the end time the "lusted after fruits" use the same instruments to mark the REMOVAL of the Christ Confession, the Lamps or seven spirits OF Christ (Isaiah 11) and being cast ALIVE into the Lake of Fire. The IGNIS or the INCENTOR or musicl starter is also called the FIRE STARTER: consuming resident spirits OF THE WORLD by the the Breath (spirit) of their own mouth.
Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues
of men and of angels, (condemned)
and have not charity, (Grace) (condemned)
I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
The LOCUSTS were Muses led by Abaddon or Apollyon who HAS been unleashed as the musical worship leaders:
La^l-eō, Mark of the Locusts II. chatter, Opposite. articulate speech, as of locusts, chirp, Theoc.5.34; mesēmbrias lalein tettix (sc. eimi), a very grasshopper to chirp at midday, III. of musical sounds, “aulō [flute] laleō” Theoc.20.29; “di'aulou [flute] ē salpiggos l.”[trumpet] Arist. Aud.801a29; of Echo, magadin lalein sound the magadis, [double flute]
"It may help us to understand that the Greek word lelein refers primarily to utterance rather than to meaningful conversation. The term is used repeatedly in chapter 14 to describe speaking in tongues. Phrynichus, the ancient dictionarian, defined the term as 'to talk nonsense'.
The word is used of gossip, prattling, babbling, animal sounds, and musical instruments. During the classical period, it usually was employed in a contemptuous sense. Debrunner, writing in the Kittle-Friedrich Theological Dictionary of the New Testament, states 'Lalein can also be used quite objectively of speech when there is reference to sound rather than than meaning. 'To what kind of utterance can St. Paul refer? There were many types of vocalization in ecstatic rites.
They have been heard to utter (different voices of equal strength, or with great diversity and inequality) in tones that alternated with silence; and again in other cases harmonious crescendo or dimenuendo of tone, and in still other cases other kinds of utterance. (Iamblichus, On the Mysteries, III, 4-6)
The Spirit OF Christ is not ignorant: If He wanted you to Flute people down with wine or ridicule the fleecees, He would have named an instruments or as Simple Simon would have used a necessary Compound word for each instrument, style of playing or including the ode being sung:
-kat-auleô , A. charm by flute-playing, metaphor I will flute to you on a ghastly flute, E.HF871 (troch.):--Pass., of persons, methuôn kai katauloumenos drinking wine to the strains of the flute, Pl.R.561c; k. pros chelônidos psophon to be played to on the flute with lyre accompaniment,
II. in Pass., [ton monochordon kanona] parechein tais aisthêsesi . . katauloumenon subdued by a flute accompaniment, to be piped down, ridiculed, gelômenoi
2. make a place sound with flute-playing, resound with flute-playing, nêsos katêuleito Plu.Ant.56
The Worship of the Starry Host at Tyre and Jerusalem was NOT from God so that the Assyrians and Jews were bonded together: In Hezekiah's plague-stopping exorcism used by the PATTERNIMSTS commanding THEM to go and do likewise, the Levite Instrumental noise makers were NOT clean enough even to go into any Holy Place to clean out the garbage left over when the Assyrians invaded the holy places with wine, women and instruments. The text specificially says that the INSTRUMENTS were purged from the temple while the sister shrines were burned down INCLUDED the vessels or psalteries of the Assyrians: here is a visual picture of anyone who has FALLEN into sowing discord and offending or offering up the children for BURNING:
The Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted PLAY (instruments and personal) at Moun Sinai. This was beyond Redemption
Acts.17.25.God.Not.Worshipped.Mens.Hands.html
Paul silenced the MEN bringing on wrath or ORGY and he silenced the women exercising authority or AUTHENTIA which was both EROTIC and MURDEROUS. The Authentes: They were NOT safe in bearing children because their willingness to be EXPOSED proves that they were involved in devoting their children to be burned:
Since Maury Hills (ex Church of Christ) builds on the foundation of Carroll D. Osburn etal:"The adored wife of the fallen Hector, is taken as a concubine by the authentes, who can command her domestic and sexual services. The word also occurs in a homosexual sense in a speech by Theseus, king of Athens, where love of young boys was considered a virtue rather than a vice." ( Charles Trombly, Who Said Women Can't Teach, p. 174)
"dionysus's worship is thus established by the simple means of killing the opposition. It has been suggested that every tragic hero who suffers and dies on stage at the Dionysia, the great dramatic festival at Athens (of the South?), is in fact dionysus himself, being killed."
Being taught to expose people to "Christian Bands to teach our children to leave our Movement" (Rick Atchley agent of the NACC) Paul's warning does NOT give males including Elders to do ANYTHING but teach that which has been taught for our learning or FEEDING.Carroll D. Osburn
"Feminist hermeneutics stands over against patriarchal hermeneutics" its goal achieved
"by small, often unnoticed acts of subversion. Numerous such incremental changes, like erosion, will eventually bring down the fortress " ( p. 32).
I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY AN ELDER THAT THEY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO "OFFER" AN INSTRUMENTAL WORSHIP SERVICE. THEY CLAIM THAT INSTRUMENTS ARE NEITHER COMMANDED NOR PROHIBITED: THEREFORE, THEY CAN SPEAK FOR JESUS CHRIST NOT KNOWING THAT THE USE OF INSTRUMENTAL NOISE IS ONE OF THEM MOST VIOLENT AND PROHIBITED ACTIONS IN THE BIBLE.
Peter and others affirm that Jesus of Nazareth made these prophecies more perfect or affirmed.Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 1 Corinthians 14:36
If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that
what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. 1 Corinthians 14:37
If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored. 1 Corinthians 14:38"Michael Clycas, the Byzantine historiographer, uses this verb to describe the woman, 'who make sexual advances to men and fornicate as much as they please without arousing their husband's jealous.'" (Charles Trombly, Who Said Women Can't Teach, p. 176)
Ephesus was famous for its shrine of Diana, where thousands of sacred prostitutes believed fornication
brought believers into contact with deityin much the say way the Gnostics used authentia to bind the flesh and the divine together. When these owm converted to Christianity they had to unlearn these pagan practices.' Trombley, p. 177)
A pro-feminist author nevertheless confesses: "By thrusting themselves forward as the originators or inspirers of religious hymns or creative drama, the woman would be exercising sexual authority. This has nothing to do with "authority to speak" because non-inspired men noR "senior male husbands" have no more authority.
"Ephesus was famous for its shrine of Diana, where thousands of sacred prostitutes believed fornication brought believers into contact with deity in much the same way the Gnostics used authentia (authority) to bind the flesh and the divine together. When these women converted to Christianity they had to unlearn these pagan practices. 'Virtually without exception,
female teachers among the Greeks were courtesans, such as Aspasia, who numbered Socrates and Pericles among her students. Active in every major school of philosophy, these hetairai made it evident in the course of their lectures that they were available afterwards for a second occupation.
But the Bible teaches that to seduce men in such a manner was indeed to lead them to slaughter and the halls of death (cf. Prov. 2:18; 5:5; 6:27; 9:18).
The verb authentein is thus peculiarly apt to describe both the erotic and murderous." (Trombley, Who Says Women Can't Teach, p. 177).
Peter said that these prophecies cannot (and will not) be Private Interpreted: that means "further expounded" including anything as faith and practice which Christ has not detailed in infinite detail as Prophetic Types.
Those who interpret or further expound or of elders "teach that which has NOT been taught" are false teachers.
That is because they DESPISE the Word of God which Christ in Jeremiah 23 defines as BLASPHEMING the Holy Spirit OF Christ.

http://www.pineycom.com/Russ Adcox part two Biblical Considerations
9-22-13, Maury Hills Church
If you’re joining us for the first time today or you just happened to miss last Sunday, I launched a new series on Music & Worship. It’s a series that deals specifically with why our leadership believes it’s time to start offering both a cappella and instrumental worship services at Maury Hills. I want to start by saying thank you for your response to last week’s message. I was very encouraged by the comments I received. Not all of them were in agreement but all of them were kind and gracious and sensitive to the way others felt about it. That’s no surprise. I wouldn’t have expected anything different from Maury Hills but I still appreciate it. The comments were all across the board from “Yes, let’s go. I can’t wait!” to “No, I’m not real comfortable with this right now” and everything in between. That’s also not a surprise. Maury Hills is a very diverse church so I was expected a diverse reaction.
Jenny and I are helping plant a new community group this Fall and the majority of the people are new to Maury Hills. We’re not actually doing the music study. We’re doing some material that Tim asks new small groups to go through, but last week someone in the group said, “Hey, before we start our study can ask a question about the message this morning?” I said “Sure.” “Well, I was just wondering, is this really a big deal?” I thought he was joking so I laughed. He said, “No, no, I’m being serious. I was raised Catholic and I’m really asking is this a big deal?” Someone else spoke up and said “I was wondering the same thing. I mean obviously it is if you’re spending three weeks on it, but is really that big of an issue?” You could see the same question on other faces but there were three 3 people nodding “Yes, this is a really, really big deal!” And I immediately knew who in the room grew up Church of Christ and who didn’t.
It was really eye-opening because the latter group was in the minority. Even though our sign says “a church of Christ” we have folks here from all sorts of different church backgrounds.
That's a false statement. The Pattern of folly was to Top Load with elders and members who agreed with him. From the beginning everyone knew the http://www.pineycom.com/Russ Adcox agenda from his divisive split of a church of Christ in Hohenwald. Churches effective disfellowshipped Maury Hills. http://www.pineycom.com/Russ made efforts to court the Christian Churches and set out the hooks for anyone ANTI Church of Christ: you can not be A Church of Christ and use "machines for doing hard work mostly in making war and creating the charismatic (Grace as erotic man-man favor) the Bible and recorded history defines as SORCERY or Witchcraft because it means "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."
Sometimes we do something in our 101 class I illustrate it like this. I’ll ask you to participate with a simple show of hands. How many of you grew up with Church of Christ as your dominant church background? And how many of you grew up with some other background (Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Baptist, all of the above or none of the above) as your background? That’s Maury Hills. We’re a diverse church and it’s easy to forget that. People start thinking everyone feels the same about this issue as me. They don’t. Some folks wonder how in the world we hold it all together. It’s simple. We major in the majors and don’t allow our opinions on lesser issues to divide us. In other words, we’re united in Christ despite any differences of opinion on worship style. We’ll talk a lot more about that next week.
That's wonderful: since http://www.pineycom.com/Russ Adcox has assumed the role of Authoratative Teacher usurping the role of Jesus Christ, he does not know and God HIDES the fact that The Church of Christ (the Rock) in the wildernesss specificially outlawed "vocal or instrumental rejoicing including http://www.pineycom.com/Russ' form of rhetoric. Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites by in Ezekiel 33 naming self speakers (sons of the Devil says Jesus), singers and instrument players.
This week I want to ask the second question in our series.
Last Sunday we asked “Why?” Why do our leaders feel it’s time to start moving in this direction? I answered that from 1st Cor 9:19-23 and Acts 15:19. If you missed it I’d really encourage you to go back and pick it up on the website. Basically, we believe that offering both a cappella and instrumental services will help us better reach our community. This week we drop back and ask the second question “Is Biblical? Is it OK to do this?” Let’s open our Bibles.
1Corinthians 9:16 For though I preach the gospel,
I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me;
yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the GOSPEL (of the Kingdom: Scripture only]!
1Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward:
but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
1Corinthians 9:18 What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel,
I may make the gospel of Christ WITHOUT CHARGE,
Paul commanded Timothy the evangelist to WORK so that he could sponsor the agape or feeding workers before they went to a day job. This verse TERMINATES preachers who refuse to GO and preach what Jesus commanded to be taught and observed. http://www.pineycom.com/Russ Adcox stands condemned. A SERVANT means that while the Jew was working Paul would go out and be his SERVANT. Being masculine he would not be caught dead singing, clapping and picking a guitar to SERVE a Jew.
1Corinthians 9:19 For though I be free from all men,
yet have I made myself servamt unto all, that I might gain the more.
1Corinthians 9:20 And unto the Jews I became [SERVANT] as a Jew,
that I might gain the Jews;
to them that are under the law, as under the law,
that I might gain them that are under the law;
1Corinthians 9:21 To them that are without law, as without law,
(being not without law to God,
but under the LAW TO CHRIST,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1Corinthians 9:22 To the weak became I as weak,
that I might gain the weak:
I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
1Corinthians 9:23 And this I do for the gospel’s sake,
that I might be partaker thereof with you.
False teachers were demanding that believers be circumcised and keep the law of Moses. Moses did not include 'instrumental worship' but the Scribes and Pharisees are defined as hypocrites meaning preachers, singers and instrument players in Ezekiel 33
Acts 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them,
which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: [converted, baptised]
Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them,
that they abstain from pollutions of idols,
and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Men like Timothy and the Gentiles were "wise unto salvatio" because they attended the synagogue often to escape the perverted, musical rituals "making the lambs DUMB before the slaughter" to fleece them.
BECAUSE THE SINGULAR ACT HAS NEVER CHANGED:
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city
them that PREACH him, being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.
http://www.pineycom.com/Russ.Adcox.html stand
condemned by his proof text: Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise, sophists meaning rhetoricians, singers, players, actors or dancers demanded of the MUSIC concept. Russ is ignorant and condemned just like the Pharisees, hypocrite (rhetoric, singer, instrument player BECAUSE..
Acts 13:27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,THE PATTERN OF JESUS:
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
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was,
First, I want you to go to the Old Testament. In 2nd Chronicles we read about the ark being brought in the temple and the dedication of the temple.
The NEW Covenant or TESTAMENT is the Last Will and Testament of the MAN Jesus Christ. Jesus defined Holy Scripture as the PROPHETS and prophecies CONCERNING ME.
RUSS USES THE INSTRUMENTAL-TRINITARIAN-PERVERTED JEWS AS A PATTERN TO USE MUSIC TO MOCK JESUS. THAT IS WHY MUSIC AS THE WORSHIP OF THE BEAST IS BEYOND REDEMPTION;
The practice in the wilderness, tyre and Jerusalem
Acts 7:42 Then God turned,
and gave them up to worship the HOST of heaven;
as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices
by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
2nd Chr 5:12-13—12 All the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun and their sons and relatives—stood on the east side of the altar, dressed in fine linen and playing cymbals, harps and lyres. They were accompanied by 120 priests sounding trumpets. 13 The trumpeters and musicians joined in unison to give praise and thanks to the LORD. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals and other instruments, the singers raised their voices in praise to the LORD and sang: “He is good; his love endures forever.” Then the temple of the LORD was filled with the cloud,
2nd Chr 7:6—6 The priests took their positions, as did the Levites with the LORD’s musical instruments, which King David had made for praising the LORD and which were used when he gave thanks, saying, “His love endures forever.” Opposite the Levites, the priests blew their trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
Now skip over the Psalms. These were the worship songs of Israel and over 25 of them contain either references to instruments or instructions which instruments should accompany the songs. For example, if you look at Psalm 4 it says “with stringed instruments” and Psalm 5 says “for flute accompaniment.” And here’s what a couple of the Psalms say…
Psalms 33:1-3—1 Sing joyfully to the LORD, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him.2 Praise the LORD with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
g3034 Yada to bemoan (by wringing the hands):—cast (out), (make) confess(-ion), praise, shoot, (give) thank(-ful, -s, -sgiving).1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Pslams 92:1-3—1 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, 2 proclaiming your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night,3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp.
DAVID NEVER PLAYED A HARP AS PUBLIC WORSHIP:
Psa. 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks UNTO the LORD,
and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
Psa. 63:6 When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
Psa. 149:6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
Psa. 149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
Psa. 149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Psa. 149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
Pslams 150:3-6—3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that has Psa. 149:6 ¶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
Psa. 149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
Psa. 149:8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
Psa. 149:9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD. praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
Number 150 is a HALAL
I read all of that to show you that instrumental music was a part of worship in the time of Israel and it wasn’t just an aid to worship. It could also be worship itself. We can praise him not only with our voices but also with the music of instruments. The Old Testament shows us (especially the Psalms) that God not only allowed instrumental praise, he approved of it as well. The argument against that is “Well, he didn’t actually approve of it, he just tolerated it. God put up with it but he never approved of it.” Be careful with that assumption because its saying something the text never says. There’s never any hint in the Old Testament that God was not pleased with music that came from a sincere heart. The second argument against it is “Yeah, but that’s Old Testament. There were lots of things they did in Old Testament worship that don’t continue in the New Testament.” Fair point.
Click Russ Says that the New Testament authorizes Instrumental Noise for worship
Let’s go to the New Testament. Here’s where we run into some issues. The New Testament doesn’t have much to say about instruments. Jesus never addressed the issue, the book of Acts (which contains the history of the early church) never addressed the issue, the letters to the churches do not address the issue. However, the New Testament is not completely silent because instruments are clearly mentioned on Revelation. Two examples…
Rev 5:8—8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. EACH one
had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense,
which are the prayers of God’s people.
The Elders and the BEASTS (Theiron) means "A New Style of Music or Satyric Drama -perverted". They said HOLD the harms and not PLAY the harps. Russ, Also, Will do that without repentance>
Rev 15:2-3—2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the BEAST and its image and over the number of its name. They HELD harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations.
THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS A SCHOOL OF CHRIST ONLY
Again, God not only allowed the use of instrumental praise but he approved of it. The argument against this is “Well, that’s symbolic language. It’s not meant to be taken literally. Besides, Revelation isn’t addressing an worship assembly so it doesn’t apply.”
The point is that God approved of instrumental praise in the Old Testament and he approves of it in the coming age so what makes us think that he now disapproves of it during the time in-between?
Amos 5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Amos 5:22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings,
I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Amos 5:23 Take thou away from me the NOISE of thy songs; for I will not hear the MELODY of thy viols.
Amos 5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Amos 5:25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images,
the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus,
saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Of course, if you share the same heritage as me right now you’re thinking, “I’ll tell you what makes us think that. The Bible says it! The New Testament letters do speak to the use of instrumental music. Did you forget about those verses?” No, I didn’t forget.
The other night at community group there was another group meeting at the building and I was walking by them as they were doing this study. They said “Hey what’s the verse that folks use to refute music?” I quoted them without hesitation—Eph 5:19, Col 3:16. Those are implanted right here. If they would have asked me the verses that teach the atonement of Christ I’d need a concordance, but I know right where those music verses are located. Let’s take a look at those.
I want to read both of them to you and I want to challenge you to set aside your background. I know this is really hard to do but try to hear them as a first time hearer.
Col 3:16—16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.
Col. 3:16 Let the WORD of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;
TEACHING and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

The WORD or LOGOS is God's Regulative Principle. In civilized society it outlawed rhetoric, opinions, singing, playing instruments, acting all a GENDER MARK.

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 victim5.5 In general, then, the survival of the victim's perspective is highly unusual as a historical phenomenon -- until more recent history, that is, when the victim's perspective has finally established a beachhead in Western culture, namely, the cultures most often in closest contact with the Gospel (more on this below). (And it must be emphasized that the close contact is in the category of being an accident of history and not by any meritorious claims for Western culture. In short, the perspective of the victim has established a place in Western culture not because of any inherent merit in Western culture but because of the historical accident of being in close proximity to the Gospel over a long period of time.)
Cic. Catil. 2.10.23 In these bands are all the gamblers,
all the adulterers, all the unclean and shameless citizens.
These boys, so witty and delicate,
have learnt not only to love and to be loved,
not only to sing and to dance,
but also to brandish daggers and to administer poisons;
and unless they are driven out,
unless they die, even should Catiline die,
I warn you that the school of Catiline would exist in the republic.
But what do those wretches want? Are they going to take their wives with them to the camp? how can they do without them, especially in these nights? and how will they endure the Apennines, and these frosts, and this snow?
unless they think that they will bear the winter more easily
because they have been in the habit of dancing naked at their feasts. O
war much to be dreaded, when Catiline is going to have his bodyguard of prostitutes!What do those verses specifically teach us about instrumental music in the assembly? Nothing. They don’t even address the assembly. The context is Christian living. However, even if they are about the assembly they still tell us nothing in regards to instruments. They tell us to sing in our hearts to God. That’s it. They neither authorize nor condemn the use of instrumental music but both sides have used them to prop up their arguments.

The pro-instrument folks say that tell us to “sing psalms” and remember what we learned about the psalms? Many of them are to be accompanied by instruments so God is actually commanding instrumental praise here.
That’s a bit of stretch. It’s saying something the text doesn’t say. It only commands us to sing in our hearts.
THAT MEANS THAT SINGING, ODE OR SORCERY, CANNOT BE HEARD.

The anti-instrument people say “That’s right and the only way you can do that is through a cappella praise alone.” Sing means sing only.
There is no command, example or inference of anyone said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing instruments, acting or PAY TO PLAY.
Literate Christians never used the ACAPPELLA PRAISE word. Acapella is in the STYLE in the Sistine Capella or Chapel. The FORM of singing was never congregational but a small number of CASTRATED Opera singers imported from France. They sang in the style of ORGANUM which is not "complex harmony. Rather, originally they sang the text or chants using ONE NOTE in unison.
That’s a bit of stretch as well. Again, you’re trying to say something that the text doesn’t say. Then there’s this whole argument over the Greek word “psallo” and whether it means to play an instrument or to sing with the voice and the Greek lexicon gives both definitions so both have some valid points.
Of course, if you don’t share my heritage abut right now you’re thinking “Wow. I had no idea this issue was that involved.” Yep, and I’m just scratching the surface.
Here’s the bottom line. These verses say absolutely nothing about the use or non-use of instruments in worship. If you read them, in context without a particular interpretative grid, you would never reach the conclusion of “It’s clear right there that God doesn’t want music!”
Anyone who Had READ the entire Bible would know that God never speaks of anyone WORSHIPING (meaning to fall on your face) by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting or PAY TO PLAY.
The WORD of God always uses the GENDER trap of SPEAK or READ that which is written.
You wouldn’t reach that conclusion if you read the entire Bible. If I handed a Bible to someone who’d never read it and asked them to read it cover to cover then after they were done I asked them “what did you learn?” They wouldn’t say “Well, for one, I learned that God does not approve of instrumental worship.” That’s not the point of Scripture. They’d learn about Jesus, they’d learn about sin, they’d learn about grace but music is a non-issue in Scriptures. So how in the world did a non-issue because the main issue in our fellowship?
I believe it’s because we’ve done exactly the opposite of our old Restoration Movement motto. “We speak where the Bible speaks and are silent where the Bible is silent.” Well, we’ve done a lot of arguing over things God never said. One brother comes up and says “You can’t show me anywhere in the Bible where God authorizes instrumental music.” The other brother says “You can’t show me anywhere in the Bible where God condemns music.” And the argument goes round and round in a circle while both brothers are right! How do you interpret what someone never said? How should we understand the silence of God? Is it always permissive or always prohibitive? It’s neither. Those who say it’s always permissive run the risk of adding all sorts of crazy things to worship. We have to weigh these things against the whole of Scripture and have a little common sense. But those who say it’s always prohibitive can’t consistently apply that principle. They do all sorts of things in worship that aren’t specifically authorized in the New Testament. Again, we have to weigh that against the whole of Scripture and use a little common sense. It’s a decision left to individual congregations and their leadership.
They may choose a cappella praise only and that’s fine. But they shouldn’t impose it on others or insist that on it as a condition of salvation or fellowship. They may choose instrumental praise and that’s fine. But they shouldn’t impose it on others or insist on it as a condition of salvation or fellowship. Where the Bible is silent we are silent. How can we judge one another based on something God never said? And do we actually think God is going to judge us based on something he never said? That’s not the God I read about in the Bible. The absence or the presence of instruments doesn’t make any difference. It’s what happens in the heart. This is what it all comes down too. This is God’s main concern. He makes that abundantly clear in his Word. So I’ll end with this question. What if that’s all he hears? What if God doesn’t hear the instruments? He doesn’t even hear the voices? He just hears the heart. What does our worship look like then? I hope we don’t get so distracted by our opinions on music that we forgot this core principle.
