https://www.pineycom.com/His56.html It is not in one point only, but in manifold respects, that the ceremonies of "Holy Week" at Rome, as it is termed, recall to memory the rites of the great Babylonian god. The more we look at these rites, the more we shall be struck with the wonderful resemblance that subsists between them and those observed at the Egyptian festival of burning lamps and the other ceremonies of the fire-worshippers in different countries.
In Egypt the grand illumination took place beside the sepulchre of Osiris at
Sais.
........ In Rome in "Holy Week," a
sepulchre of
Christ also figures in connection with a brilliant
illumination of
burning tapers.
In Crete, where the tomb of
Jupiter was exhibited, that tomb was an object of worship to
the
Cretans.
........ In Rome, if the devotees do not
worship
the so-called sepulchre of Christ, they worship what is
entombed
within it.
As there is reason to believe that the Pagan festival of burning lamps was observed in commemoration of the ancient fire-worship, so there is a ceremony at Rome in the Easter week, which is an unmistakable act of fire-worship, when a cross of fire is the grand object of worship.
This ceremony is thus graphically described by the authoress of Rome in the 19th Century:
"The effect of the blazing cross of fire suspended from the dome above the confession or tomb of St. Peter's, was strikingly brilliant at night.
It is covered with innumerable lamps, which have the effect of one blaze of fire...
The whole church was thronged with a vast multitude of all classes and countries, from royalty to the meanest beggar, all gazing upon this one object. In a few minutes the Pope and all his Cardinals descended into St. Peter's, and room being kept for them by the Swiss guards, the aged Pontiff...prostrated himself in silent adoration before the CROSS OF FIRE. A long train of Cardinals knelt before him, whose splendid robes and attendant train-bearers, formed a striking contrast to the humility of their attitude." What could be a more clear and unequivocal act of fire-worship than this? Now, view this in connection with the fact stated in the following extract from the same work, and how does the one cast light on the other:
"With Holy Thursday our miseries began [that is, from crowding]. On this disastrous day we went before nine to the Sistine chapel...and beheld a procession led by the inferior orders of clergy, followed up by the Cardinals in superb dresses, bearing long wax tapers in their hands, and ending with the Pope himself, who walked beneath a crimson canopy, with his head uncovered,

I see, he said, certain speech-writers who do not know how to use the special arguments composed by themselves, just as lyre-makers in regard to their lyres: in the former case also there are other persons able to use what the makers produced, while being themselves unable to make the written speech. Hence it is clear that in speech likewise there are two distinct arts, one of making and one of using. I think you give sufficient proof, I said, that this art of the speech-writers cannot be that whose acquisition would make one happy. And yet I fancied that somewhere about this point would appear the knowledge which we have been seeking all this while.[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.

and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head,
and FELL FLAT ON HIS FACE

FELL ON HIS FACE to the earth,
and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

and so falling down on his face he will worship God,
and report that God is in you of a truth.

Jesus still exists as teacher of "sons FROM God who are taught BY God to SPEAK that which is written for our LEARNING" AFTER silencing rhetoric, music or scenic disturbances.PROOF THAT GOD REPUDIATES ANY KIND OF MUSIC IS THAT THERE IS NOT ONE PERSON SAID TO WORSHIP WITH ANYTHING BUT HUMBLE SUBMISSION AS A STUDENT OF JESUS WHOSE KINGDOM IS DEFINED INCLUSIVELY AND EXCLUSIVELY IN THE PROPHETS.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CONTINUED with only the CLERGY chanted the BIBLE TEXT or later. The clergy were on continuous duty and "Chants of the Office, sung during the canonical hours, have their roots in the early 4th century, when desert monks following St. Anthony introduced the practice of continuous psalmody, singing the complete cycle of 150 psalms each week. . Around 375, antiphonal psalmody became popular in the Christian East; in 386, St. Ambrose introduced this practice to the West. In the fifth century, a singing school, the Schola Cantorum, was founded at Rome to provide training in church musicianship.[10]

The letter of Conrad Grebel and his friends at Zurich to Thomas Miinzer, of which a translation is here presented, Sixteenth-century hymnodists were fully aware of the importance of biblically based texts if their hymns were to fulfil their kerygmatic purpose. The title page of the first Lutheran hymn book, Das Achtliederbuch (1524), attests to this as it states: "Some Christian hymns, canticles, and Psalms, made according to the pure Word of God, from Holy Scriptures, by several very learned men, to sing in church as it is in part already practiced in Wittenberg." Thomas Munzer, the radical German reformer, was already producing German services and hymns. In order to protect his people from Munzer’s teachings, Luther decided to provide hymns of his own. Congregational singing was largely the invention of the Protestant Reformation. Before then, singing in churches, especially in larger urban churches, was largely left to professionals.[2] The reformers in Strasbourg, in particular, reduced the church service largely to a sermon bookended by congregational singing and prayers.[2] The letter of Conrad Grebel ad his friends at Zurich to Thomas Miinzer, Thomas Müntzer (Muentzer, Muntzer) was perhaps the most controversial figure of the period of the German Reformation, a man who has been called at various times the "beginner of the great Anabaptist movement," the forerunner of modern socialism, the beginner of the mystical-spiritualistic movement in Germany, a religious socialist, the leader in the Peasants' War 1525,We understand and have seen that
thou hast translated the mass into German and hast introduced
new German hymns. Secondly, since SINGING in Latin grew up without divine instruction and apostolic example and custom, without producing good or edifying, it will still [93] less edify in German and will create a faith consisting in mere outward seeming.
Thirdly, Paul even clearly forbids SINGING
in Eph. 5, and Col. 3, since he says and teaches just as if it were written: "This do not; SING not." If thou art willing to defend war, the tablets, SINGING, or other things which thou doest not find in express words of Scripture, as thou doest not find the points mentioned, then I admonish thee by the common [98] salvation of us all that thou wilt cease therefrom and from all notions of thine own now and hereafter, then wilt thou be completely pure, who in other points pleasest us better than anyone in this German and other countries. |
The Worship or Praise Team (A blasphemy) does the same thing replacing Jesus and most men.
EVEN THOUGH MARTIN LUTHER SOUGHT TO TEACH THE SCRIPTURES BY SINGING, HE HAS THE FOLLOWING TO SAY TO SHAWN'S TRIBE.
Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3 define TEACHING and ADMONISHING one another with the BIBLICAL psalms, hymns and Spiritual songs all of which are IN SCRIPTURE. Spirituals songs are INSPIRED by God and speaking ONLY what God is revealing.
Those given the right to be taught BY God THROUGH Jesus understand these versed to OUTLAW singing.
