And he [Jesus] gave some, apostles; and
some, prophets; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some,
pastors and teachers; Eph. 4:11
The One-Piece Patter which never
changed. Even Gentiles were Wise unto Salvation
because the Synagogue was a way to escape the sexual and
perverted pagan "worship" centers. The only worship
concept in the Bible is to "fall on your face in reversion
and godly fear." Those who not crucify of burn up any
human input worship by reading the WORD or Last Will and
Testament of Jesus Christ" are subject to BURNING.
Acts 15:21 For
Moses of old time hath in every city
them that PREACH him, being READ in the synagogues every
sabbath day. [once each week]
Then and now in any carnal institution who
pays Bible-deprived persons to preach their own words
intend to crucify or silence the mouth of Jesus as the
ONLY rabbi.
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,
[once each week by elders as the only
Pastor-Teachers]
they have
fulfilled [the
Prophets] them in condemning him
THE
PATTERN OF JESUS:
Luke
4:16 And he came to
Nazareth, where he
had been brought up:
and,
as his custom
[PATTERN]
was,
he went into the
synagogue on
the sabbath
day, [Weekly REST
day]
and
stood up for to READ.
THE PATTERN OF PAUL:
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 [Comfort]
for the people, say
on.
THE COMMANDED PATTERN FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
Eph.
2:19 Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners,
but
fellowcitizens with the saints,
and
of the household of GOD;
Eph. 2:20 And are built [Edified or Educated
in the Ekkllesia] upon the
foundation
of
the APOSTLES and PROPHETS,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief
corner stone;
Chief or Head
means that Jesus in His Glorified STATE of Holy Spirit is
the ONLY teacher when the TIRED go to Him at the
CORNER or Angle. This is a quiet and secret
place. Jesus said MY Words are SPIRIT and LIFE (John
6:63) and Jesus is still in charge of His Small flock of
lost spirits or "Sons FROM God." Senior and APT elders are
to "Teach that which has been taught". Women have to
call the Audible-Visible Jesus and Paul liars
Paul silenced
women and effeminate males because:
1 Corinthians 14
they thought and sold themselves as originators of truth
beginning with Eve.
1 Timothy 2 because
1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be
saved, [kept safe from authentia or
sexual authority]
and to come unto the
KNOWLEDGE of the truth. [Word, Logos outlawing
rhetoric, singing, playing instruments]
Because dear sisterens!
1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,
and one mediator between
[Comforter, Intercessor] God and
men,
the man Christ Jesus;
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a RANSOM
for all,
to be TESTIFIED in due time.
1Tim. 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a PREACHER, and an APOSTLE,
(I speak the
truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher
of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
The Last Will and
Testament was put into effect when Jesus Died. No one should
be so profane as to lust for Show and Tell and MODIFY the
will of even an evil person.
THE ONLY MEANING OF WORSHIP ON THE PENALTY OF BURNING
Rev. 19:10 And I FELL AT HIS FEET to
worship him.
And he said unto me,
See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren
that have the TESTIMONY
of Jesus: worship God:
for the TESTIMONY
of Jesus is the SPIRIT
of prophecy.
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.
To become a
PREACHER God chose Him and he had to SEE and HEAR THE VOICE
of "Jesus of Nazareth"" in His HOLY SPIRIT STATE.
Spirit has never and can never define a god.
Matt. 18:6 But whoso shall offend
[skandal-izō
cause to stumble] one of
these little ones [members] which believe in me,i t were
better for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the
sea.
The promotion of Instrumental Worship and female "pastors" was
an intentional massive sowing of discord and offending the
"Comfort Zone" in order to create dissociation to enable forcing
the BEAST (a new style of music and Satyric Drama)
Preacher is Kerusso
defining a Herald. Neither Jesus nor Paul
preached beyond what God the Father revealed to them. A
Preacher CALLED by God is defined as an EYE-witness
with supernatural power to prove THEIR unique
role.
Jesus spoke "without measure" or Metron meaning any tuneful sense. That is because the common knowledge was that rhetoricians or singers were Purpose-Driven to decieve, say the widows, and eat up their homes. GOD anointed Jesus with the SPIRIT which means "God put His WORD into the MOUTH of Jesus. The MARK was to go, preach, offend the world, suffer and die to DISBAND rank as clergy.
Jesus as PREACHER Spoke only what God the Father put into His mouth: this is the meaning of SPIRIT.
Jesus guided Paul into all truth and had to be SEEN by and HEAR the voice of His Mouth to qualify as a preacher.
Preach or Kerusso must be an EYE WITNESS or must be a herald sent by that AUTHORITY.
In Ephesians 4, Jesus in the STATE (never a person) of Holy Spirit OMITTED the office of PREACHER and gave authority to the Elders as the only Pastor-Teachers over the flock.
The Evangelist is simply the POSTMAN who must be SENT with no authority to change the message.These Elders were LIMITED and willing to TEACH THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TAUGHT and reprove anyone who did not TEACH THAT WHICH HAD BEEN TAUGHT.
The Herald is paid by the job to one in authority and never collects money from those who hear GOOD NEWS.
Paul agreed that those who Served in the temple were FED while on duty. The Jewish priests and Levites served about 2 weeks out of the year.
Rom. 10:15 And how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written,
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel OF PEACE
and BRING glad tidings of good things!
John 8:26 I have many things to say
and to judge of you:
but he that sent
me is true;
and I SPEAK to the world
those things
which I
have HEARD of
him.
John 8:27 They understood not that he spake to them of
the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
When ye have
lifted up the Son of man,
then shall ye
know that I am he,
and that I do
nothing of myself;
but as my
Father hath TAUGHT me,
I speak these
things.
John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
the Father hath
not left me alone;
for I DO always those
things that PLEASE him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many
believed on him.
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 PROPHECY: WHEN JESUS TAUGHT
GOD'S WORD, HE WAS DESPISED, REJECTED AND
MURDERED. How dare anyone who calls Scripture a
lie at the same time demand A WAGE for preaching
when anyone with a Bible can READ without any
personal opinions, personal experiences,
sermonizing, singing, playing instruments or
anything beyond the WORD or Logos.
THE EXAMPLE OF PAUL AS
SECOND-ORDER AND FINISHERS OF THE GOSPEL
Acts 22:14 And he said,
The God of our fathers
hath CHOSEN thee,
that thou shouldest KNOW HIS will, [Last will and Testament: Feminist and
Effeminate want to ALTER]
and SEE that Just One,
and shouldest HEAR THE VOICE OF HIS MOUTH
Acts 22:15 For thou shalt be his WITNESS
unto all men of WHAT THOU HAS SEEN
AND HEARD
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized,
and WASH away thy sins,
CALLING on the
name of the Lord.
Rom. 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Rom. 10:15 And how shall they PREACH, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?
as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of PEACE,
and bring glad tidings of good things!
Rom. 10:16 But they have not all OBEYED THE GOSPEL
For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED OUR REPORT
Rom. 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the WORD of God.
PAUL SUFFERED MANY HORRORS AND
SUFFERED DEATH BECAUSE HE WAS PREACHER WHEN THE
GOSPEL HAD NOT ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED
1Cor. 4:6 And these things, brethren, I
have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your
sakes;
that ye might learn in
us not to think of men
above that which is
written,
that no one of you be
puffed up for one against another.
1 Cor. 4:9

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.
XV Theatrical performance creates spiritual anxiesty
If, then, we keep throat and belly free from such defilements, how much more do we withhold our nobler parts, our ears and eyes, from the idolatrous and funereal enjoyments, which are not passed through the body, but are digested in the very spirit and soul, whose purity, much more than that of our bodily organs, God has a right to claim from us.
They resemble each other also in their pomp, having the same procession to the scene of their display from temples and altars,
.........and that mournful profusion of incense and blood,
.........with music of pipes and trumpets,
.........all under the direction of the soothsayer and the undertaker,
.........those two foul masters of funeral rites and sacrifices.

“Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am
I trying to please men? If I were still pleasing
men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
That's true: There is no rank but there are God-ordained roles.
Sara Barton The Church of Christ TRADITIONALLY engages in ACAPELLA-style worship. Acapella is a term describing the absence of instruments and the use of only human voice to create MELODY.Moral and Psychological effects of music:
A WOMAN who persuades solely by means of her presence and its perfumes,
The orgiastic element of its syncopated rhythm, entirely divorced from any more exalted musical content, produced a hyper-excitement of the nerves and loosened the powers of self-control. It gave rise to a false exhilaration, a fictitious endurance, an insatiability resulting in deleterious moral and physical reactions. 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?]
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.
-Jactant Th throw, cast, hurl, to scatter semen. To throw, toss about, make gestures, throw kisses, to be restless, rebellius, sow serpen's seed. “irrita sacrilega jactas incendia dextra,” id. M. 14, 539: “hastas,” Cic. de Or. 2, 78, 3 [cause controversy about questions]
Ovid, Meta 14.527
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.”
TRADITION is used as a RACA word to claim that churches of Christ juse MADE UP not using instruments. The deep thrusst is that they were Ignorant, Destitute, just evil people. There is no reason that a Doctor of the Law purchased by totally Biblically illerate who use textbooks written by men and prove themselves NOT Christians because they do not CONTINUE in the Word of Christ.
Melody is a series of single notes: a two note melody was common. Psallo has nothing to do with melody: it was a word marking evil and perversion. Paul used the word and demanded that ODE and PSALLO be SILENT. "Melody as tunefulness belongs to the 19th century.
Flunked totally: [skandal-izō] A capella defines the Pope's urge to replace the disgustingly shrill of Effeminate singers in the CAPER or the Sistine Chapel named after a General's Goat Skin shrine. It was never permitted to use an organ in the Pope's Mass in the Sistine. That changed about 1911. The Pope imported a group of CASTRATED opra singers for his own pleasure. This was the style was ORGANUM. Harmony meant that they all sang the same note: a melody might be one or two notes.The Catholic never used the organ added at Cathedrals at TRADE FAIR CENTERS for accompaninent of singing. The organ was played at processionals, intermissions and recessionals.
Sara Barton: This TRADITION [A Raca Word] initially BEGAN because of financial realities, said David Baird, historian and dean emeritus of Seaver College.University Chaplain Sara Barton said lack of funds was just one historical motivation for the acapella tradition
No, Churches of Christ didn't DECIDE TO BEGIN using Musical Instruments because there is NO one in Holy Scripture ever said to WORSHIP by singing with or without an instrument. The Disciples-Christian SECTED by BEGINNING to use the organ--only they pledged because the CARPET BAGS went empty and they payed a reed organists $5,000.00 a year to pump up the UNLAWFUL "Lay by in Store."
Beginning with Clay Tablets the universal bad testimony about the slick rhetoricians and whistle, twang or bang was SOLD as proof that their gods dwelled IN their instrument.
No, there is no "congregational singing" nor any singing with or without in the entire Holy Scriptures. It was those who IMAGINED A NEW WAY TO BE HermeNeuts to give them authority to "BEGAN" Instrumental music as the way to Worship the BEAST FROM THE EARTH.
Baird notes. "In the 1970's and beyond, controversy continued in the form of a different hermeneutic, how to address social justice issues, the role of women in the church, and the use of instrumental music in worship. in the post-Civil War years, others in the brotherhood, better known as "progressives," took the same approach, especially as they utilized parachurch organizations to expedite evangelism and instrumental music to contemporise worship.There is not a single instance of anyone said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting or PAY TO PLAY. Worship is never more than bowing low to the face towards the ground or most often FALLING ON THEIR FACE in Reverence and Godly Fear.
Not even mentioned, by scripture, just like instrumental worship services. Clearly, according to the critics, the church was relying on techniques and institutions RATHER than divine providence to carry out its missions."

The common "scholarly" fallacy is that Churches of Christ BEGAN singing without an instrument. I don't have space to list all of the passages which uses a TONE making thing to MARK: "we will NOT obey your Word." Exekiel 33 and to MARK burning.
Hymnody developed systematically, however, only after the emperor Constantine legalized Christianity (313 ce), and it flourished earliest in Syria, where the practice was possibly taken over from the singing by gnostics and Manichaeans of hymns imitating the psalms. The Byzantine church adopted the practice, and in its liturgy hymns maintained a much more prominent place than in the Latin liturgy. Byzantine hymnody developed complex types such as the kanōn and kontakion (see also Byzantine chant). St. Ephraem—a 4th-century Mesopotamian deacon, poet, and hymnist—has been called the “father of Christian hymnody.”...By the late Middle Ages trained choirs had supplanted the congregation in the singing of hymns.Sara Barton: “Some people are LEGALISTIC about [acapella music] and feel that acapella worship is the only right way to worship,” Barton said. “However, I myself actually don’t know that many people that feel very strongly about instrumental worship being inherently wrong anymore.” As chaplain, Barton said she emphasizes the importance of “blended” WORSHIP, or the combination of acapella and INSTRUMENTAL music
The kanōn is thought to have originated in Jerusalem in the 7th or 8th century to replace the biblical canticles in the morning office.

"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.6
A play of Anaxandrides was entitled Kitharistria while the masculine Kitharistes was the title of plays by Antiphanes and Menander, which might also refer to male sex workers. Antiphanes, Klearchos, Alexis, Nikon, Anaxippos, Diphilos and Sophilos wrote plays entitled Ki6apco86q (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.69
Matt. 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you,
EXCEPT ye be CONVERTED [baptized],
and become as little children,
Ye shall NOT enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Preach as kērussō is, first, a herald an eyewitness sent to carry
the message of an authority. A
herald does not originate the message, he doesn't open the
sealed dispatch, and he does not charge on the receiving end. The Christian has "all that applies to life
and godliness." It has been
written for our memory [2Pet.
1:13] and, as a last will
and testament, is not subject to private interpretation or
"further expounding." [2Pet.
1:20] because it was
delivered by God's Holy Spirit.
2Pet. 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people,
even as there shall be false teachers among you,
who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,
even denying the Lord that bought them,
and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pet. 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pet. 2:3 And through covetousness [fraudulency, extortion]
shall they with feigned words [plastice, fabricate]

whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not,
and their damnation slumbereth not.

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 man ROBBED of a self, is no longer himself:
he has become nothing more than a vibrating string, a sounding pipe.
He trembles madly under the bow or the fingers of the instrumentalist;
and just as APOLLON fills the Pythia’s lungs,
so the organ’s powerful voice
and the harp’s gentle accents take possession of the listener.
This process, at once IRRATIONAL and SHAMFUL, takes place on the margins of truth,
and thus borders more on magic than on empirical science.This is outlawed by the Word, LOGOS or Regulative Principle:
