        the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you
        I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

God didn't command the TEMPLE made with human hands. Hiram, king of Tyre and the agent of Lucifer used Jewish slave labor to build Solomon a temple much like his own.  Hiram's temple still stands: there is nothing to prove that Solomon ever build His Temple

THE PATTERN WHICH THEOLOGIANS CANNOT FIND

Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were
        written aforetime were written for our learning,
        that we through patience and comfort of the SCRIPTURES might have hope.
Rom. 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation
        grant you to be likeminded one toward another  [NO INTERPRETERS OR CLERGY]
        according to Christ Jesus:
Rom. 15:6 That ye may with ONE MIND and one MOUTH
        glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE MARK OF THE SONS OF THE DEVIL.

John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said,
        My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will,
        he shall know of the doctrine,
        whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:
        but he that seeketh his glory that sent him,
        the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

THE PATTERN COMMANDED AND EXAMPLED BY JESUS AND PAUL
Rubel Shelly Behold the Pattern

For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor  commanded them
        in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt,
         concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
But this thing commanded I them, saying,
         Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: (CENI)
         and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, (CENI)
         that it may be well unto you. Jeremiah 7:23

Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise me,
        The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace;
        and they say unto every one that walketh
        after the imagination of his own heart,
        No evil shall come upon you.  "You can SOW discord and steal from the owners"

    Despise tthe Word of God of God and using your own words is:

Blasphēm-eō , pf.

THE REST OF CHRIST IS DEFINED INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY BY THE PROPHETS.

Isaiah.33.Prophecy.of.Church.of.Christ.html

Is. 52:15 So shall he sprinkle many nations;
        the kings shall shut their mouths at him:
        for that which had not been told them shall they see;
        and that which they had not heard shall they consider.

In Romans 15 Paul confirms the Prophets for the assembly pattern

Rom. 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach THE GOSPEL
        not where Christ was named,
        lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:

The PLAN is that Jesus was sent and sent others to:

Rom. 15:21 But as it is written,
        To whom he was not spoken of,
                they shall see:
        and they that have not heard
                shall understand.

 

1Cor. 3:9 For we are labourers together with God:
        ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.
1Cor. 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me,
        as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation,
        and another buildeth thereon.
        But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1Cor. 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid,
         which is Jesus Christ.
1Cor. 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation
            gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1Cor. 3:13 Every man’s work shall be made manifest:
        for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire;
        and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.

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 upon [Educated by]
        the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
        Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 2:21 In whom all the building
        fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together
        for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

What was needed was fine tuning our architectural prowess.
        So we learn of such technical matters as exclusive pattern, specific authority, generic authority, coordinates. John Mark then walks us through the transformation of an occasional (and not universally commanded) collection from 1 Corinthians 16 into a required pattern requirement and the money can be used only for saints.

“This is how I learned to read the Bible. It was comfortable, and it made sense to me” (p. 58). But it was (and is) exceedingly complex.

Hicks, Wineskins etal begin by spreading hatred for those who understood that:
1.  There is no Command, Example or Remote inference for any FUNDING even for the destitute.
2.  ALL division is BUILT by trying to IMPOSE something based on human authority.
3.  When apostasy was blooming My father stopped by the Gin-Store of the Tucker clan to borrow one dollar to put in the plate when many were pinching a nickle or quuarter.
4.  No one had or has the right to fleece the widow to feed another PROGRAM. The ACU kingdom at Highland has taken the MARK of music led by "scholars" whom Jesus will not permit to SELL their own opinion.
4.  The New Hermeneutic was ACU manufactured

THE ONE-PIECE PATTERN FOR THE CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS

John 6:45 It is written in the prophets,
        And they shall be all taught of God.
        Every man therefore that hath heard,
        and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime
        were written for our learning,
        that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
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.

THE PUFFER BILLY ANTI-SCRIPTURE PATTERN

Carroll D. Osburn ACU  Speaks for most Universities where Scripture is corrected to fit the present world age.  Historical Theology, the new Curriculum, means that Scripture is defined by church councils and Historic Scholars.  Because that is the PATTERN, contemporary Text Books follow a stream of text books written by the Professor who teaches the class. Eph. 2:20 And are built upon  [Edified-Educated in the Ecclesia]         the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS,         Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; Even Gentiles were "wise unto salvation" because the Synagogue was favored over the pagan rituals. Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time         hath in every city   [sabbath day's journey prevented travel]         them that PREACH him,         being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day. 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,         they have fulfilled them in condemning him Luke 18:7 And shall not God avenge his own elect,         which cry day and night unto him,         though he bear long with them? Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.         Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh,         shall he find faith on the earth? Carroll D. Osburn "American scholar recognized as one of North America's leading New Testament textual critics and a prominent Christian egalitarian, Galatians 3:28 is the key for egalitarians.  However, we kinda think that females are not boys with long hair. Being ONE in Christ as the HOUSE of God as FAMILY Priests or Levites are Excluded. Gal. 3:28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek,         there is NEITHER bond nor free,         there is NEITHER male nor female:         for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus. The Assemblies involve SPEAKING that which is written for our LEARNING.  Egalitarians want both male and female to have CLERGY offices and lots of money to operate a purely secular institution.  Osborn and all Institutions (Institutional or none institutional) wants Galatians 3:28 to say BOTH. Osburn: 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 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"         its goal achieved "by small, often unnoticed acts of SUBVERSION.         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         BECAUSE people find themselves accountable to it.         THAT is what make its SCRIPTURE" (p. 46). "A major task facing our churches         is the reintegration of the Old Testament into the regular teaching,         thinking and practice of the church" (p. 49). "There is major disagreement on whether one should use the Bible to UNDERGIRD doctrines          in a "proof-texting way,  [The Written Scriptures]          or whether one should ALLOW doctrine to EMERGE from understanding texts          in their LITERARY and HISTORICAL contexts. Certainly these differing views of Scripture lie behind differing views of women in the church" (p. 90). "Paul's arguments carried weight in HIS DAY even though they may not necessarily be CONVINCING by today's standards" (p. 135).N MARK: BOTH MALE AND FEMALE STANDING IN THEIR HOLY PLACES CLAIMING TO BE GOD. NO ONE WHO CORRUPTS THE WORD OR SELL THEIR LEARNING AT RETAIL (ADULDTERY in civilzed Greek society) can ever grasp that Paul silenced both male and female trying to teach over.  Both male or female agents (parasites) in religionism believed that they spoke for the gods. 1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD,          and one mediator between God and men,          the MAN Christ Jesus; Lying wonders are "religious operations" claiming to AID the gods: this is the meaning of ANATHEMA. It or they cannot be REDEEMED and MUST BE BURNED. WHY YOU NEED HICKS OR DABBS OR OSBURN TO MAKE GOD INTELLIGIBLE (Leonard Allen] "The science of INTERPRETATION in general is difficult         because it requires much learning, judgment, and diligence AND "Not unfrequently, a FELICITY of TALENT  [Meaning:The Bible becomes SCRIPTURE BY ONE with "the ability to find appropriate expression for one's thoughts."speech that pleased by its accuracy, felicity, and fluency" "or a more than usual degree of UNDERSTANDING         is REQUISITE to manage an EXEGETICAL inquiry with success. "But INTERPRETATION of the sacred books is, from various causes         a) still more difficult,                 as the general consent of THE LEARNED                 and the wonderful paucity         (b) of good INTERPRETERS fully evince . Biblical theologians are THE ONES who attempt to LOCATE these questions         through identifying the central ISSUES of the biblical FAITH. PETER CALLS PRIVATE INTERPRETATION OR FURTHER EXPOUNDING DESPISING THE SPIRIT http://www.piney.com/Keith.Stanglin.Private.Interpretation.Rejects.The.Holy.Spirit.html

The Prophets define the WAY that is called a SECT which is a ROAD or PATTERN.  Jesus defined Holy Scripture as the PROPHETS and other prophecies CONCERNING ME.  The Prophet spoke when God put His WORD into their MOUTH.  The Prophets in perfectly clear statements defined what was SHILOH or Rest for the Godly to define Disciples to READ and UNDERSTAND.  Figurative language is easily understood by similar effects.  Theologians, based on published material, quote a verse or comment and the make up the rest.

Eph. 3:4 Whereby, when ye read,
        ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages
        was not made known unto the sons of men,
        as it is now REVEALED unto his holy APOSTLES and PROPHETS by the SPIRIT

SPIRIT produces WORDS.  SPIRIT is figurative or a PARABLE to HID truth from the WISE or SOPHISTS: Rhetoricians, singers, Instruments.  God REVEALS to BABES.  Babes are Those who have received a NEW or REgenerated spirit without which one cannot read BLACK text on BROWN paper.;  2 Corinthians 3

Neh. 8:3 And he READ therein before the street
        that was before the water gate from the morning until midday,
        before the men and the women, and those that could understand;
        and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.

Reading was always from the original or exact copy of the ORIGINAL.  He TRANSLATED so that people could understand. There was no preaching or Inspired Theologian.

READING or PREACHING the Word by READING it once each week in the assembly is the ONE-PIECE PATTERN.  The Lord's Supper is a REteaching that it was Jesus who died to become the ONLY Rabbi.

Neh. 8:8 So they READ in the book in the law of God distinctly,
        and gave the sense,
        and caused them to understand the READING

No one went beyond EXPLAINING or TRANSLATING that Specific Passage.

Hermeneutics--

False Teachers Fore Ordained Jude: The same as EXEGESIS, a term technically used of the interpretation of a text from the study of critical materials such as manuscripts, editions, and quotations. The word is from the Greek hermêneuô, "to interpret." See Textual Criticism.

--hermaêneuô [hermêneus]--

interpret foreign tongues, X.An.5.4.4; translate, D.H.Th.49, etc.; “apo Hpōmaikōn” PRyl.62.30 (iii A. D.):—Pass., “Hellēnisti” D.H.2.12, cf. LXXJb.42.17, etc.

The "god" of the HermeNeuts: Beyond reading, translating and expaining THE TEXT:

--Hermês Hermes, the Lat. Mercurius, son of Maia and Zeus; messenger of the gods (diaktoros); giver of good luck (eriounios, akakêta ); god of all secret dealings, cunning, and stratagem (dolios); bearing a golden rod (chrusorrapis ); conductor of defunct spirits (psuchopompos, pompaios ); tutelary god of all arts, of traffic, markets, roads (agoraios, empolaios, hodios, enodios ), and of heralds. His bust, mounted on a four-cornered pillar, was used to mark boundaries. --Proverb., koinos Hermês shares in your luck! Theophr.: cf. hermaion.

TO MARK AND AVOID JOHN MARK HICKS AND ALL END-TIME PROFESSORS.

John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said,
        My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 7:17 If any man will do his will,
        he shall know of the doctrine,
        whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory:
        but he that seeketh his glory that sent him,
        the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him

It is true that Scripture uses a lot of figurative language.  Parables, for Instance, said Jesus was to HIDE from those OF this world.  Other forms which Alexander Campbell wrote about can be understood by reading the CONTEXT which is never done when people SPEAK of themselves to GLORIFY themselves and Sell Christ  at retail.

Eph. 3:4 Whereby, when ye READ,
        ye may understand MY knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

The writers left a "memory" of their PART of the PERFECT.  When the PERFECT came the purpose was to repudiate people who had contrary opinions.

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
        and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,
        but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious,
        and bridleth not his tongue,
        but deceiveth his own heart,
        this man’s religion is vain.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this,
        To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction,
        and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

THAT LEAVES THE SCHOOL OF THE WORD AS PATTERN FROM THE WILDERNESS ONWARD.


John 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying,
        How knoweth this man letters, having never LEARNED?
Acts 7:22 And Moses was LEARNED in all the wisdom of the Egyptians,
        ad was mighty in  and in deeds.
Acts 26:24 And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much LEARNING doth make thee mad.
Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were WRITTEN AFORETIME
        were written for our LEARNING,
        that we through patience and comfort of the SCRIPTURES might have hope.
Rom. 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren,
        mark them which cause divisions and offences
        contrary to the doctrine which ye have LEARNED; and avoid them.
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.
1Cor. 14:31 For ye may all prophesy [teach WORD by inspiration] one by one,
         that all may LEARN, and all may be comforted.

Romans 15 written comfort

1Cor. 14:35 And if they will LEARN any thing,
        let them ask their husbands at home:
        for it is a shame for women to SPEAK in the church.

The only periodic assembly of the godly Jews was to hold a holy convocation. This was normally on the First and Last days when mature males were gathered together.

Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time
        hath in every city
        them that PREACH him,
         being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.



2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded:
        for until this day remaineth the same VAIL untaken away
        in the READING of the old testament;
        which vail is done away in Christ.
2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day,
        when Moses is READ, the vail is upon their heart.
2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall TURN [Convert-be baptized]
        to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. [by receiving A holy REgenerated spirit]

NOW or after Jesus received the Promise or Evangelistic as Holy Spirit.

2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord IS that SPIRIT:
        and where the SPIRIT OF the Lord is, there is liberty.

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.

In SPIRIT STATE (never a person) Jesus guided the Apostles into all TRUTH. He Appeared to and Spoke to Paul to qualify Him.  When the Holy Spirit prevented Paul from going into Bithynia, it was the Spirit OF JESUS.

Only women enhanced their "worship" by singing AND playing an instrument.
Only rarely would a MALE sing and PLAY and INSTRUMENT at the same time. They were universally willing to entertain in female garments and offer their bodies either visually or sexually.

SPEAKING or TEACHING OVER applies to male and female. That would permit either to Speak His own Words (Marking him as a son of the devil and violating the Holy Spirit or God putting His WORDS into the MOUTH of the PROPHETS.

Isaiah.55.Word.Spirit.html


SPEAKING is a word which defines speaking on your own, speaking in tongues, or performing any kind of music when Jesus visits to teach.

1Cor. 14:9 So likewise ye,
        except ye UTTER by the tongue WORDS
        easy to be UNDERSTOOD,
        how shall it be known what is SPOKEN? for ye shall speak into the air.

1Cor. 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather SPEAK five WORDS with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand WORDS in an unknown tongue.

There is no tuneful singing in all of Scripture.  Modern Theologians impose sermons out of their own head SINGING and PLAYING instruments both as LEGALISTIC acts of worship in order to SILENCE the UTTERING of the WORD.

        which ye have both LEARNED,
        and received, and HEARD, and seen in me,
        do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Phil. 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want:
         for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Col. 1:7 As ye also LEARNED of Epaphras our dear fellowservant,
        who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
1Tim. 1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander;
        whom I have delivered unto Satan,
        that they may LEARN not to blaspheme.
1Tim. 2:11 Let the woman LEARN in silence with all subjection.

1Tim. 5:4 But if any widow have children or nephews,
        let them LEARN first to shew piety at home,
        and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
1Tim. 5:13 And withal they LEARN to be idle,
        wandering about from house to house;
        and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies,
        speaking things which they ought not.
2Tim. 3:7 Ever LEARNING, and never able
        to come to the knowledge of THE TRUTH [The Word, Logos, Regulative Principle].
2Tim. 3:14 But continue thou in the things
        which thou hast LEARNED and hast been assured of,
        knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them;
Titus 3:14 And let ours also LEARN to maintain good works for necessary uses,
        that they be not unfruitful.
Heb. 5:8 Though he were a Son,
        yet LEARNED he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Rev. 14:3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,
        and before the four beasts, and the elders:
        and no man could LEARN that song
        but the hundred and forty and four thousand,
        which were redeemed FROM the earth.


John 12:48 He that rejecteth ME,
        and receiveth not my WORDS,
        hath one that judgeth him:
        the WORD that I have SPOKEN,
        the same shall judge him in the last day.
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am IN the Father,
        and the Father in me?
        the WORDS that I SPEAK unto you
        I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Acts 4:29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants,
        that with all boldness they may SPEAK thy WORD,
Acts 5:20 Go, stand and SPEAK in the temple
        to the people all the WORDS of this life.
Acts 6:11 Then they suborned men, which  ,
        We have heard him SPEAK blasphemous WORDS
         against Moses, and against God.

1Cor. 14:9 So likewise ye,
        except ye UTTER by the tongue WORDS
        easy to be UNDERSTOOD,
        how shall it be known what is SPOKEN? for ye shall speak into the air.
1Cor. 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather SPEAK five WORDS with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand WORDS in an unknown tongue.
2Cor. 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the WORD of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God SPEAK we in Christ.

2Pet. 1:3 According as his divine power
        hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS,
        through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2Pet. 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,
        though ye KNOW them, and be ESTABLISHED in the present truth.
2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more sure WORD of prophecy;
         whereunto ye do well that ye take heed,
        as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
        until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION

Theologians always end up contradicting Scripture and focus on sowing discord.  Don't further expound the preserved WORD because that would be blasphemy.

2Pet. 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:
        but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy SPIRIT.

Those who sell books denouncing DISCIPLES or STUDENTS-only, don't need to Quote the Scriptures which have been understood--if usually violated--by God and historic Scholarship who understood The Word or Logos delivered as APOSTOLIC are God's Regulative Principle.  Students of Christ--still the only TEACHER--cannot possibly accuse God Who always preserves His Word against change--of being SUPERSEDED by Theologians who impose themselves as ADDITIONS to the Scriptures.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done,
        but according to his mercy he saved us,
        by the washing [Baptism] of regeneration, and REnewing of the Holy Ghost; [OURS]
Titus 3:9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions,
        and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

The PATTERN for the Church in the Wilderness was to PREACH the Word by READING the Word.  Jesus left us an EXAMPLE of His Pattern to READ.  Theologians write for other theologians but do not grasp that that "Theology IS the Commanded and Exampled" pattern REFUTED  by those "selling learning at wholesale." Here is a "circle drawn close or a noose for professional sowers of discord" and self speakers

John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine,
        whether it be OF GOD, or whether I speak of MYSELF.

INFERENCE is always proper when people are blind.

There is no example of group singing with or without instruments in Scripture or until after the Reformation.
God provided nothing to lyrical or for the Lyre.
Paul commanded that we SPEAK Psalms, Hymns, Spiritual Songs for TEACHING.
          In Romans the direct command is to "use one mind and one mouth" to "teach that which was written or SCRIPTURE.
ODE (sorcery) and PSALLO (Smiting, Shooting arrows, one string with the fingers) is IN the heart or SILENCE.

We can INFER that anyone who can find any "musical" or "tuneful" faith or practice in Scripture or before the Reformation is either BLIND by God's Will or Deceitful.

We want to say that anything beyond the WORD is just ignorance.  Jesus had Paul say that "Rhetoric, singing, playing instruments" are MARKS of those LYING IN WAIT TO DECEIVE.

WHOSE SPIRIT guides men to Purpose Drive imposing any kind of Clergy Singers or Instrument players knowing that it would sow MASSIVE DISCORD and offend tens of thousands of believers?  The Worship Teams are truly pitiful and painful for the offended to watch.

        if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:

        to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Modern Doctors of the Law know that they cannot get rich and famous by speaking and writing about Scripture rather than pointing to a passage now FIT to be stated in fool.

The Church of Christ as Ekklesia or Synagogue is defined EXCLUSIVELY before INCLUSIVE throughout Scripture. Moses quoting Jacob excluding the Priests and Levites in Genesis 49. Paul proves that when he skips the entire Monarchy period and returns to the promise made to Abraham. ALL of those still in DARKNESS (cannot quote Scripture) are those still Abandoned to worship the Starry Host (Acts 7]

Anathema was the Instrumental.Trinitarian.Perverted "play" or "worship" on the day of REST at Mount Sinai.  Stephen confirms that God turned them over to the worship of the starry HOST and ignored the Creator. By ignoring the pattern to READ the Scriptures, modern theologians write and sell and subvert the youth.

Jesus defined Holy Scripture as the Prophets and other prophecies "Concerning Me." The Prophets outlaw all of the ACTS John Mark Hicks or any "patternists" can invent, impose, and SELL. The Ekklesia (defines a PATTERN).  After working 6 days the people were given a sabbath for mental and physical refreshing.

There is no example of people gathering to sing none and anti-Biblical songs and listen to self-authored lectures. The Pharisees did it in some way to justify eating up the widow's living. Jesus calls them PHARISEES by referencing performance speakers, singers or instrument players.

A small band of "lost spirits" as pilgrims and sojourners, IN the World (Kosmos, Ecumenical, Kingdom of Darkness), but not OF the world,  are God's Witnesses of the Universe now clearly shows battle between the DARK and LIGHT forces.

Job 18:18 He shall be driven from LIGHT into DARKNESS,
        and chased out of the world.

Job 30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

John 12:35 Then Jesus said unto them,
        Yet a little while is the LIGHT with you.
        Walk while ye have the LIGHT, lest darkness come upon you:
        for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

The world knows not Christ, nor does it know his followers. The character and conduct of the martyrs were a perfect mystery to the mass who looked on their sufferings.

The Platonist who made of necessity a virtue, and tried philosophy to prepare himself to bear anything,
        was completely at a loss when he saw the Christian conqueror meet death in its most aggravated forms with joy.

One, when thrown on the flames, said: “This is a bed of roses.” Another, over­whelmed with joy, forgot his sufferings, cried out:
        “None but Jesus! none but Jesus!” These things were, indeed, wonders to the gazing world.

The followers of Christ were like beings from another world; so it will be with us if we are Christians. We will be pilgrims, and, of course, strangers here.

The world will not under­stand us. Our motives to action, our joys and hopes, our supports, are all strange to them. For example: that we should have so much pleasure in contem­plating the crucifixion and death of our Master—a thing supposed to give us pain—is a mystery.

That we should be so careful in performing some duties, which the world regards of so little use—that we should rejoice in the darkest hours of trial and in death, make us strange to our nearest worldly friends.

We are bound for another land, and feel strange here. If strangers, let us live so. If a traveler in a foreign land is going homeward, if he has an unpleasant journey, he finds relief in the fact it will soon be over. If, as he halts for the night, he has a disagreeable landlord and uncomfortable accom­modations, he remembers it is only for the night. As soon as morning comes he will leave all these behind him, and be nearing his home. So should we, in our pilgrimage, look on our homes, our lands, merely as they aid us on our journey heaven­ward. If we have trouble and bereavement and sorrow, remember these are soon to end, and we shall find sorrow turned to joy. [110][Volume V: January, 1868]

Selling Theology in the name of Jesus Christ allows one to IMPOSE musical "worship" when the Greeks called that IMPURE RELIGION.

Matt. 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said,
        I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
        because thou hast HID these things from the WISE and prudent, [Rhetoricians, singers, instrument players]
        [Wise are Sophists: rhetoricians, singers, instrument players for sale]
        and hast revealed them unto BABES. [New DISCIPLES of Christ-only]
Matt. 11:26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Matt. 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father:
        and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father;
        neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,
        and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Contrary to the LIPSCOMB scholars, Jesus was born IN THE FLESH 30 years before God made him to be both Lord and Christ. To fulfill the PATTERN, Jesus could not be a priest of God until He was washed in the "Laver."  Jesus was sanctified and sent when He was baptized to fulfill the Righteousness He had based on His Faith.

Matt. 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

Rhetoric, singing, playing instruments is worship OF THE WORLD PATTERN. It is without doubt that those who listen to a singer sing his own songs and beat on drums is intending NOT to submit in any sense to the ONLY Teacher

 However, worship as SCHOOL is giving heed to the WORD which Jesus commanded to be taught.

4352.  proskuneo, pros-koo-neh´-o; from 4314 and a probable derivative of 2965 (meaning to kiss, like a dog licking his master’s hand); to fawn or crouch to, i.e. (literally or figuratively) prostrate oneself in homage (do reverence to, adore): — worship.

Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
        All power is GIVEN unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
         baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Peter and everyone understood to baptize in the NAME-singular of Jesus Christ.

Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to OBSERVE all things whatsoever I HAVE COMMANDED YOU you:
        and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

The NECESSARY INFERENCE is that self-authored songs and sermons MARK those WITH WHOM Jesus is NOT WITH.

Jesus affirms that the Word which God put into His MOUTH (the meaning of SPIRIT) was that of the Prophets CONCERNING ME.  Jesus did not create Pluto or anything physical.  He is the creator or PURCHASER of his very tiny flock.

g165.  aion, ahee-ohn´; from the same as 104; properly, an age; by extension, perpetuity (also past); by implication, the world; specially (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future): — age, course, eternal, (for) ever(-more), (n-)ever, (beginning of the , while the) world (began, without end). Compare 5550 or Chronos a space of time..

You don't need to INTERPRET anything that God has delivered.  If you are wise or a SOPHISTS--rhetorician, singer, instrument player--God HIDES the truth for ever and ever.  Thomas Olbricht as the FOUNDER of the New Hermeneutic claims to be an expert of Aristotle.  However, before Olbricht's "proof text" Aristotle says that rhetoric is not to be used where a Lawgiver Has expressed Himself clearly.  By "inference" we can assume that Theologians claim that neither God nor Jesus were competent to speak for OUR culture.

BAPTISM SAVES because it REQUESTS or BEGS Jesus for A good conscience, consciousness or a CO-perception of the WORD. The Word or Logos is GOD made audible as the Regulative Principle.  It outlaws everything John Mark Hicks proposes and imposes such as Instrumental Idolatry.

        and made us sit together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus:

Col. 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
        which hath made us meet to be partakers
        of the inheritance of the saints in LIGHT:
Col. 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of DARKNESS
         and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son:

This kingdom DOES NOT come with LEGALISTIC act claiming that it is for God.  Paul calls all performances silencing those who love the WORD as Lying Wonders.

Col. 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood,
        even the forgiveness of sins:
Col. 1:15 Who is the IMAGE of the invisible God,
        the firstborn of every creature:

Col. 1:18 And he is the HEAD of the BODY, the CHURCH:
        who is the beginning [of the Church], the firstborn from the dead;
        that in all things HE might have the preeminence.

Theologians and Apostate "Angels of Light" are identified by DENYING that.  All religious "music" is called SORCERY and the actors will be or ARE BEING CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

        and to God the Judge of all,
        and to the SPIRITS OF just men made PERFECT,

Eph. 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
        but fellowcitizens with the saints,
        and of the household of God; [Excludes Priests or Levites]
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon  [Educated Only]
        the foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS,
        Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together
        groweth unto an holy temple IN the Lord:

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
        but I have called you friends;
        for all things that I have HEARD of my Father I have made known unto you.

Scripture contains nothing we can honestly label "Music."  There is no command, example or inference of God calling HIS children into assembly to engage in group singing with or without instruments.  Making unnatural vocal or instrumental sounds disturb the human spirit and is the MARK of these Demonic practices.

Plautus.Ass-Dealer. The word "Parasite" properly denotes "one person who dines with another." The name was originally given to persons who were assistants to the priests and high magistrates, and, consequently, had a respectable signification. The hangers-on, who are called "Parasites" by the Comic writers of Greece and Rome, first received that name from Alexis, the Greek Comedian. It has been well remarked, that their chief characteristics were "importunity, love of sensual pleasures," and "the desire of getting a good dinner without paying for it." They may be subdivided into the jesting, the officious, and the flattering Parasite (assentator), of which latter kind Artotrogus is an admirable specimen. From ancient writers we find that it was the

The Pattern in Ephesians 4 is that Jesus in His STATE of Holy Spirit ordered the Elders as vocational Pastor-Teacher.  The Shepherd does not manufacture the "food" nor does he force the sheep to pay him.  They are commanded to TEACH that which has been taught.  This is the frequent one-piece pattern which no literate reader can miss.

Catullus - Poem 63

9 Use a drum: The priests of Cybele, who were either eunuchs, or persons of effeminate and worthless character, walked in their processions beating a "tympanum." a "drum" or "tambourine." The Captain, by his question, contemptuously implies that Agorastocles is such a character. See the Truer lentus, l. 608, and the Note. 
        a timbrel, etc., as a figure of something effeminate, enervating: “tympana eloquentiae,” Quint. 5, 12, 21: “in manu tympanum est,” Sen. Vit. Beat. 13, 3.—a timbrel, etc., 

Clement of Alexandrian notes why emasculated men could not be priests:

"One of these charges the Egyptians thus: "If you believe them to be gods, do not mourn or bewail them; and if you mourn and bewail them, do not any more regard them as gods." And another, taking an image of Hercules made of wood (for he happened most likely to be cooking something at home), said,

"Come now, Hercules; now is the time to undergo for us this thirteenth labour, as you did the twelve for Eurystheus, and make this ready for Diagoras," and so cast it into the fire as a log of wood. For the extremes of ignorance are atheism and superstition, from which we must endeavour to keep.

And do you not see Moses, the hierophant of the truth, enjoining that no eunuch, or emasculated man, or son of a harlot, should enter the congregation?
By the two first he alludes to the impious custom by which men were deprived both of divine energy and of their virility;

and by the third, to him who, in place of the only real God, assumes many gods falsely so called,-as the son of a harlot, in ignorance of his true father, may claim many putative fathers.

Galatians 5 I.Wish.They.Would.Go.the.Whole.Way.and.Emasculate.Themselves

Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished. Galatians 5:11

As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves! Galatians 5:12

Chrysostom's Commentary on Galatians:
Galatians 5:1.-"With freedom did Christ set us free; stand fast therefore.115 ."
Ver. 12. "I would that they which unsettle you would even cut themselves off." And he says well "that unsettle you."  "A man that is heretical after the first and second admonition refuse." (Tit. iii: 10) If they will,  let them not only be circumcised, but mutilated. Where then are those who dare to mutilate themselves; seeing that they draw down the Apostolic curse, and accuse the workmanship of God, and take part with the Manichees?

Chrysostom understood that the pagans used vocal or instrumental noise to stir up or create anxiety so that they could steal your food money. Christ outlawed this in Isaiah 55.  Christ outlawed BLASPHEMY in the modern context of saying that God commanded instrumental distractions when  He DID NOT.

But if you will not allow this,  why do you not mutilate the tongue for blasphemy, the hands for rapine, the feet for their evil courses, in short, the whole body?

For the ear enchanted by the sound of a flute hath often enervated the soul;
and the perception of a sweet perfume by the nostrils hath bewitched the mind, and made it frantic for pleasure .

David's PRAISE word threatened the same sexual proof of superiority:

SUMMARY OF RECORDED FACTS NOT AVAILABLE TO ANY "DOCTOR OF THE LAW" WHOM JESUS SAID "TAKES AWAY THE KEY TO KNOWLEDGE."

1. Israel fell from grace beyond redemption because of Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry at Mount Sinai.
2. The NOBILITY turned the REST of God into a day of the Worship as the ABOMINATION they brought from Egypt.
3. The REST of God is Sabbath or the Greek PAUO and demands STOPPING anything beyond Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word delivered by Moses.
4. The Civil-Military-Clergy were abandoned behind closed gates to engage in the Lust of Blood and Flesh and the HOLOCAUST of INFANTS and GOATS.
5. The Godly Jews were never gathered to engage in group singing with or without instruments: this was outlawed for the SYNAGOGUE as A School--only of the Word-only.
6. Any kind of musical or theatrical performance would MARK the Effeminate and their refusal to HEAR the Word of God.
7. Even worse any kind of self-exhibition especially SINGING is that which MARKS and produces ALL of the data defining:
 
A CRACKED POT will not Ring True:

A further peculiarity of Dodona was the "bronze," a large gong set vibrating at every breeze by a scourge held in the hand of a figure standing over it;

the persistent ringing passed into a Greek proverbial phrase--Khalkos Dodones ("Brass of Dodona")-- for a continuous TALKERS who has nothing to say. Britannica Members

"A famous oracle in Epi'ros, and the most ancient of Greece. It was dedicated to Zeus (Jupiter), and situate in the village of Dodona.

The tale is, that Jupiter presented his daughter Theb with two black pigeons [Doves, Rock Pigeons] which had the gift of human speech. Lemprière tells us that the Greek word peleiai (pigeons) means, in the dialect of the Eprots, old women; so that the two black doves with human voice were two black or African women. One went to Libya, in Africa, and founded the oracle of Jupiter Ammon; the other went to Eprus and founded the oracle of Dodna. We are also told that plates of brass were suspended on the oak trees of Dodona, which being struck by thongs when the wind blew, gave various sounds from which the responses were concocted. It appears that this suggested to the Greeks the phrase Kalkos Dod ns (brass of Dodona), meaning a babbler, or one who talks an infinite deal of nothing. Bartleby

The WORD or LOGOS is God's only Regulative and Governing principle.  God names and Defames personal opinions, personal experiences, rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, acting or "seeing godliness as a means of financial gain. Among the Greeks and others RATIONAL (Logos) are marked by SPEAK or READ identifies Disciples.  Disciples are STUDENTS of what Jesus commanded to be taught

Anything beyond being A School of Christ or those OF the World, Kosmos, Ecumenical or the kingdom of the Devil MAKING war against the Kingdom of Christ.  All Rhetoric, singing, speaking or acting is the universal marks of the effeminate or worse.

Here is a short list of PERFORMANCE and PERFORMING Enabled by rhetoric, singing or any kind of instruments which CLAIMS that God is ignorant.

An Abomination, Witchcraft, the BEASTS, Sorcery, Charming, Soothsaying,  enchantment, harlots, beguile, serpents, vipers, Serpo, Herpo, inducing wine-dranking, Cunning Craftsmen or Sophists, Rhetoricians, Dogs or Catamites, magic, Voodoo in primitive America, Melodies to deceive, Deceiver, Cunning Crafts, Techne, religious craftsmen, Lucifer,  Locusts, Apollyon, Levi-Leviathan

If any kind of metrical or recurring sounds are PROOFS of Sorcery (Revelation) why would it become a MAJOR COMMERCIAL INTEREST in imposing any kind of rhetoric, singing, playing (Anti-Logos) instruments and 'passing the plate' to fund it?  Jude says that they are FOREORDAINED.

The Greek and Latin overflows with identifying anyone who tried to control another's mind with anything but FACTS

THE PATTERN IN SCRIPTURE AND ALL RELIGIOUS GROUPS. IN THE CLASSICS
        STRAIGHT OR RATIONAL was identified by the LOGOS which Jesus SPOKE and did not sing or play.
        CROOKED OR GAY by SING, PLAY, DANCE ETAL.

John Mark Hicks: I understand that the positive argument for acapella music in the assembly of worshiping saints involves other considerations. For example, it includes the contrast with Israel's worship, the limited and situated use of instruments in the Levitical worship authorized for the tabernacle and the temple, the value of human voice as God's created instrument for worship, and the history of the church in the first few centuries after the apostles.

A capella is a PLACE: the Sistine Chapel where the male singers were replaced by the Pope's castrated opera singers. They CHANTED the same note and the melody could consist of one or two notes.  Everyone singing in UNISON means that they are in HARMONY.


The godly Jews were quarantined "to quarters" on the evil Babylon Sabbath to prevent them from going to Jerusalem or any other pagan "worship centers."  Not even a Jacob-Cursed and God-Abandoned Levite could go NEAR the Holy Space without being executed. The Holy Place was the PAGAN PATTERN replaced by the Church PATTER which contained the Lampstand representing the 7 spirits OF god all devoted to knowledge.

Music.  Cantillation signs guide the READER in applying a chant to Biblical READING. This chant is technically regarded as a ritualized form of SPEECH intonation rather than as a musical exercise like the singing of metrical hymns: for this reason Jews always speak of SAYING or READING a passage rather than of singing it. (In Yiddish the word is leynen 'read', derived from Latin legere, giving rise to the Jewish English verb "to leyn".)

http://www.piney.com/Cantillation.2.html

The Philipedium: In most western European languages, the word for “read” starts with the letter “L”. These languages can be divided into two main groups — those of Latin origin and those of Germanic origin. In each of the Latin languages (Italian, Spanish, French, etc.), the modern word is derived from legere, the Latin word for “read”. The Italian word is still leggere, essentially unchanged from the Latin. In the other Romance languages, the “g” sound was lost, and so we have leer in Spanish, ler in Portuguese, and lire in French.

(Note: The Old Testament understands that instrumental music--called NOISE--was authorized only in certain dedicatory or purification rituals associated with the temple and with Jerusalem. Without both there was never any rationale for instrument to make a great crashing sound during animal sacrifices.)

"At the dedication of the later edifice, the priests blew the trumpets at the same time that the Levites sang and played upon instruments of music,

so as 'to make one sound;' but it is evident that on that great occasion of rejoicing, what was aimed at was not musical harmony, but a powerful crash of jubilant sound. We are shut up to the conclusion that

there was nothing in the tabernacle-worship, as ordered by Moses, which could be justly characterized as instrumental music." (George Girardeau, Instrumental Music, p. 29 - a Presbyterian)

Because of Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted Idolatry at Mount Sinai, that generation has Sinned BEYOND REDEMPTION.  God turned them over to worship the STARRY HOST including Apollon or Abaddon in Egypt before the Exodus.

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.

Acts 7:41 And they made a calf in those days,
        and offered sacrifice unto the idol,
        and rejoiced in the works of their own hands

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?

Amos 5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into
        captivity beyond Damascus,
        saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, 
        and the star of your god Remphan, 
        figures which ye made to worship them: 
        and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Mark.10.They.Shall.Mock.Him.With.Music

Psallo and SOP have the same root meaning.

They WILL BE CAST ALIVE INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.

John Mark Hicks: At the same time, when it comes to specific authorization and the required exclusion of instruments, that is rooted in the above pattern argument. Otherwise, the argument against instruments in the worship of God is more like a theological argument than it is a blueprint argument. (I will explain what a theological hermeneutie is in coming pages.) There is nothing inappropriate about that, of course. Eastern Orthodox churches have done that for centuries.

And thou, blessed goddess, who inhabitest the all-golden house of Ephesus, in which Lydian damsels greatly reverence thee; and thou, our national goddess, swayer of the aegis, Minerva, guardian of the city! And thou, reveler Bacchus, who, inhabiting the Parnassian rock, sparklest with torches, conspicuous among the Delphic Bacchanals!

One can make a good theological case for acapella music, but it is a different sort of animal than the blueprint argument. One may seek to justify acapella music as an apostolic practice based upon a prescribed pattern, or one may seek to justify it by a theological argument, or both. Though both may be true, the two approaches are quite different. Sometimes they arrive at similar conclusions; sometimes they do not. Sometimes they arrive at opposite conclusions. What do we do when the theological argument runs contrary' to the blueprint argument? More on that a bit later.

        since I am manlier and more useful to the king than you,
                a man who keeps his face clean-shaven, wears eye-liner,
                and anoints his skin with white make- up."
Then he answered, "Aren't you ashamed that such a great man as yourself, defeated by your belly and genetalia, has been conquered by the lesser one? I, however," he continued, "will soon make your skin softer and whiter than a woman's." He then swore an oath to Belos and Molis (this is how the Babylonians call Aphrodite).

Nanaros then summoned the eunuch in charge of the songstresses and said to him,

        "take this man and shave his entire body except for his head,
        rub it with pumice stone, wash him twice a day and rinse him with egg-yolk,
        and then put eye-liner on him and braid his hair like a woman's.
               Teach him to sing, play the cithara, and pluck the lyre
                so he can perform like a woman for me with the music-girls,
                with whom he will share a lifestyle by having a soft body,
                wearing the same clothes, and practicing the same skills."

After he spoke, the eunuch took Parsondes, shaved his entire body except for the head, taught him what he was asked, keeping him out of the sunlight, washing him twice per day, softening him up,

        and keeping him in the same quarters with the women as his master had ordered.
        Soon after, Parsondes was a white, smooth, and woman-like man,
        who sang and played the cithara more beautifully than the music-girls with
        whom he had performed and surpassed them in beauty as well
        and no one who saw him perform at one of Nanaros' dinner-parties would realize that he was not a woman.

After this, he invited the angaros to join him for a drink and dinner and when the meal was served, the music-girls entered, 150 women in with Parsondes among them. Some women played the cithara or aule while others plucked the lyre; Parsondes was the most prominent of them in beauty and talent as he appeared to be a woman too. When they had their fill of dinner, Nanaros asked the angaros which of the girls he thought was the most attractive and talented and without much thought he replied, "that one" while pointing to Parsondes. Nanaros clapped his hands and laughed for a long time before saying, "How would you like spending the night with her?" to which the angaros readily assented. Nanaros then said, "However, I won't let you have her.", and the angaros relied, "Then why did you ask me?" Nanaros paused for a while and said, "That is Parsondes, the man for whom you have come."

Athenaeus Deipnosophist 4.5.5

So piped he the drunken bagatelles of the Muses sung by Glauce,
        or the tune of the Stutterer
        who delights in the drinking of unmixed wine,
         or of Cotalus or Pacalus.77 Nay, then, of Theon the reed-piper say, Farewell, Theon!'

OF EDUCATED PEOPLE:

Plat. Prot. 347c But if he does not mind, let us talk no more of poems and verses, but consider the points on which I questioned you at first, Protagoras, and on which I should be glad to reach, with your help, a conclusion.
        For it seems to me that arguing about poetry is comparable to the wine-parties of common market-folk.
        These people, owing to their inability to carry on a familiar conversation o
        ver their wine by means of their own voices and discussions—

[347d] such is their lack of education—put a premium on flute-girls by hiring the extraneous voice of the flute at a high price, and carry on their intercourse by means of its utterance. But where the party consists of thorough gentlemen who have had a proper education,

        you will see neither flute-girls nor dancing-girls nor harp-girls,
        but only the company contenting themselves with their own conversation,
        and none of these fooleries and frolics—each speaking and listening decently in his turn,

-lēros (A), ho, A. trash, trumpery, of what is showy but useless, useless, futile, “poiētōn l.”

ADDED NOTES MUSIC IS SORCERY

Plato, Euthydemus
[289e] For not only do these speech-writers themselves, when I am in their company, impress me as prodigiously clever, Cleinias, but their art itself seems so exalted as to be almost inspired. However, this is not surprising; for it is a part of the sorcerer's art, epōdōn tekhnēs

Latin 289e:

kai mentoi ouden thaumaston: esti gar tēs tōn epōdōn tekhnēs morion mikrō te ekeinēs hupodeestera.

Thaumaston Is a Lying wonder which claims that your rituals are ordained by God.

Hdt. 1.132 And this is their method of sacrifice to the aforesaid gods: when about to sacrifice,
        they do not build altars or kindle fire, employ libations, or music, or fillets, or barley meal:
        when a man wishes to sacrifice to one of the gods,
        he leads a beast to an open space and then, wearing a wreath on his tiara, of myrtle usually, calls on the god.
[2] To pray for blessings for himself alone is not lawful for the sacrificer; rather, he prays that the king and all the Persians be well; for he reckons himself among them. He then cuts the victim limb from limb into portions, and, after boiling the flesh, spreads the softest grass, trefoil usually, and places all of it on this. [3] When he has so arranged it, a Magus comes near and chants over it the song of the birth of the gods, as the Persian tradition relates it; for no sacrifice can be offered without a Magus. Then after a little while the sacrificer carries away the flesh and uses it as he pleases.
