WHAT IS A SECTARIAN OR HERETIC

THE TRUE MARKS OF A SECT: MUSIC IS THEIR MOST POWERFUL WEAPON JOHN AND ALL HISTORY CALLS SORCERERS.

HERESY or SECTARIANIZING is what Jesus outlawed as laded burdens along with the burden laders: these were forms of songs intended to shock and awe.  Paul used a word connected to HERESY when he outlawed SELF-pleasing in the churches. These were all forms ot performing arts used by the demagogue to appease the masses and to do HERESY meaning "to carry them away for his own uses." It is also what the priests did when the Levitical musicans made the sheep dumb before knife or the shearer.

God left the INSTRUMENT as a MARK which the godly can HEAR and flee from Babylon and never look back.

First, HERESY derives from the sacrificial priests who "lifted up the lamb to cut its throat."

Second, a PARASITE is defined in the literature as the musician who made loud noise in order to make the lamb DUMB before the slaughter priest.

In both cases, the heretic-parasite pair silenced the victim to make cutting its throat easier and they did it for their own uses and the word KLEPTOMA is included in the formula.

IN THE CURSE OF THE ISRAELITE SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM.

You may click here on Terry Rush for a summary proving the curse of the sacrificial system  The prophets who spoke TRUTH through the Spirit OF Christ understood that God had given them the lands as an inheritance and the king-priest system which had been abandoned at Mount Sinai because of musical idolatry stole it as God had promised through Samuel.  Nehemiah sums it up:

Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. Neh 9:34

For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Neh 9:35

Behold, we are servants this day, [and so are you]
        and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof,
        behold, we are servants in it: Neh 9:36

And it yieldeth 
        much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us 
        because of our sins: 
        also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle,
        at their pleasure, 
        and we are in great distress. Neh 9:37

        They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: 
        they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: 
        and they shall be ashamed of your revenues 
        because of the fierce anger of the Lord. Je.12:13

THE NATURE OF PARABLES

Jesus said that truth had been hidden from the sectarian clergy in parables from the foundation of the world. That was to limit the priestly-sacrificial system TO inside of the walled city while the civilans were quarantined or locked out and attended synagogue or church in the wilderness which never ended. When Manasseh took the priests and musicians OUTSIDE of Jerusalem God put a great plague on the temple, city and nation of Judah.  This taught the hostility of all sacrificial systems and the non-violence of Jesus Christ and all victims of the CROOKED RACE marked by mad music. While this is perfectly clear and stated often by the Prophets through the Spirit OF Christ, here are some interesting comments.

Girardian Lectionary:

6 Therefore, from beginning to end, the biblical story is a story of humanity's sinful descension into violence, and of God's planned action of salvation from our violence.

Both the cross and baptism speak of COOLING DOWN the animal passions:

Stauros, metaph. of voluntary suffering, crucify it, destroy its power, figuratively exposure to death, that is, self denial;

Ab-luo abluere sibi umbras, to remove darkness (by bringing a light), Of the washing away of earth by a shower, Varr. R. R. 1, 35.--In eccl. Lat., of baptism: munere divinitatis abluti,
II. Trop., of calming the passions: omnis ejusmodi perturbatio animi placatione abluatur, be removed (fig. derived from the religious rite of washing in expiation of sin),

Those who STIR UP the animal passion use music as violence. To crucify again is:

Anastatoo (g387) an-as-tat-o'-o; from a der. of 450 (in the sense of removal); prop. to drive out of home, i.e. (by impl.) to disturb (lit. or fig.): - trouble, turn upside down, make an uproar, to stir up, excite, unsettle to excite tumults and seditions in the state to upset, unsettle, minds by disseminating religious error.

PSALLO I. In gen., to play upon a stringed instrument; esp., to play upon the cithara, to sing to the cithara:
psallere saltare elegantius, [meaning: carry away 1. to convey away (from the family) by bequest, to bequeath away,]

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 victim

5.5 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.)

Poets and song writers were never permitted to write about factual events: they were to write myths telling only what it SHOULD have been if they had been Jesus or Moses.

Strabo writing about Music

[941b] if convicted. Theft of property is uncivilized, open robbery is shameless: neither of these has any of the sons of Zeus practiced, through delight in fraud or force. Let no man, therefore, be deluded concerning this or persuaded either by poets or by any perverse myth-mongers into the belief that, when he thieves or forcibly robs, he is doing nothing shameful, but just what the gods themselves do. 1 That is both unlikely and untrue; and whoever acts thus unlawfully is neither a god at all nor a child of gods; 

1 Cp.Plat. Rep 378 ff., Plat. Rep. 388 ff. Hermes [Hermeneutics] is specially in mind, as notorious for his thefts and frauds; cp. Homer Iliad 5. 390; 24. 395, etc.

In [10.3.7] Strabo continues, "The accounts which are more remotely related, however, to the present subject, but are wrongly, on account of the identity of the names, brought into the same connection by the historians--I mean those accounts which, although they are called "Curetan History" and "History of the Curetes," just as if they were the history of those Curetes who lived in Aetolia and Acarnania, not only are different from that history, but are more like the accounts of the Satyri, Sileni, Bacchae, and Tityri;

for the Curetes (homosexual clergy or priests), like these, are called genii or ministers of gods by those who have handed down to us the Cretan and the Phrygian traditions, which are interwoven with certain sacred rites, some mystical, the others connected in part with the rearing of the child Zeus in Crete and inpart with the orgies in honor of the mother of the gods which are celebrated in Phrygia and in the region of the Trojan Ida.

But the variation in these accounts is so small that, whereas some represent the Corybantes, the Cabeiri, the Idaean Dactyli, and the Telchines as identical with the Curetes, others represent them as all kinsmen of one another and differentiate only certain small matters in which they differ in respect to one another;

but, roughly speaking and in general, they represent them, one and all, as a kind of inspired people and as subject to Bacchic frenzy, and, in the guise of ministers , as inspiring terror at the celebration of the sacred rites by means of war-dances,   accompanied by uproar and noise and cymbals and drums and arms, and also by flute and outcry;

Haireô
A. Act., take with the hand, grasp, seize, having taken up [the song], Od.8.500.

Homer, Odyssey The muses were taught by Apollo

So he spoke, and the minstrel, moved by the god, began, and let his song be heard, [500] taking up the tale where the Argives had embarked on their benched ships and were sailing away, after casting fire on their huts, while those others led by glorious Odysseus were now sitting in the place of assembly of the Trojans, hidden in the horse; for the Trojans had themselves dragged it to the citadel.

The assembly is the Agora or marketplace where Jesus consigned the pipers, singers and dancers along with all of the selling of goods and bodies. When they foolish drag the marketplace stuff into their CITADEL you know that they intend to "infiltrate and divert."

Minstrels moved by the god Apollo (Apollyon) and the Muses (Musicians Re 18:22) or dirty adulteresses were never allowed into the ekklesia or church.

[280] and the girls led on the lovely dance to the sound of lyres. Then again on the other side was a rout of young men revelling, with flutes playing; some frolicking with dance and song, and others were going forward in time with a flute player and laughing. The whole town was filled with mirth and dance and festivity.

Beside them was a row of vines [New Winskinners] [297] in gold, the splendid work of cunning Hephaestus [Tubal-Cain]: [299] it had shivering leaves and stakes of silver [300] and was laden with grapes which turned black. And there were men treading out the grapes and others drawing off the liquor. Also there were men boxing and wrestling, and huntsmen chasing swift hares with a leash of sharp-toothed dogs before them, they eager to catch the hares, and the hares eager to escape.

They still do it to STEAL YOUR CHURCH HOUSE AND MEMBERS.
