A deeper-reaching attempt to explain the significance of the castrato age has been made by Moses (1960) in an interesting paper on the psychology of the castrato voice. He interprets the emergence of this vocal fashion as the fulfillment of an age-old dream wish of bisexual hermaphroditism. Even if one does not follow Moses in some of his somewhat overdrawn conclusions, there is left enough of a solid basis for his theory. Hermaphroditic mythology plays an important part in cultural history. In collections of primitive art one sometimes see sculptures of idols each with female breasts and a penis

Voices mirror not only individual characters but the spirit of a period as well. In this sense the voice of the castrato personifies the bisexual ideal with its unity of a female voice in a man's body. In the mythological atmosphere of the baroque opera the castrato portrayed gods and mythological persons who presented male and female characteristics in a vocal hermaphroditic combination.

In an unfinished book that Paul Moses left at his death he predicted, over ten years ago, quite correctly the approach of another age of crossover of the sexes. The young generation of today favors fashions that obliterate the differences between the sexes. Girls wear pants, and young men sport girlish long hair and wear necklaces and bracelets. The classical love song of the nineteenth century, the love-centered operettas, and the popular songs of the "June-moon" variety of the first half of this century have given way to the harsh rhythms of rock and roll of the unisex generation. And the phoniatrist sees among his patients an increasing number of young adult males who do not use the deep masculine voice that the pubertal growth of the larynx offers but continue to speak in an artificial high pitch of almost female sound. Friedrich S. Brodnitz, M.D.

CONSISTENT WITH RESTORING HEBREW ROOTS

Delitzsch on Psalms: Moreover, we must take into consideration the facts that the compass of the tenor extends even into the soprano, that the singers were of different ages down to twenty years of age, and that Oriental, and more particularly even Jewish, song is fond of falsetto singing. We therefore adopt Perret- Gentil's rendering, chant avec voix de femmes, and still more readily Armand de Mestral's, en soprano; whereas Melissus' rendering, "upon musical instruments called Alamoth (the Germans would say, upon the virginal)," has nothing to commend it.

"Hebrew music... was used in the luxurious times of the later monarchy the effeminate gallants of israel, reeking with perfumes, and stretched upon their couches of ivory, were wont at their banquets to accompany the song with the tinkling of the psaltery or guitar (Am. v1. 4-6), and amused themselves with devising musical instruments while their nation was perishing... music was the legitimate expression of mirth and gladness, and the indication of peace and prosperity." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 590).

Gender Inclusive and Egalitarian  Churches of Christ  Everyone prays that EVERYONE be in peace and quietness. Men cannot bring on WRATH or ORGY which includes all of the performing or hypocritic performances: rhetoric, singing, playing, acting.  Women cannot teach OVER men because the authorized pattern is to PREACH the Word by READING the Word and mutually confessing it.  The PURPOSE all inclusives miss and violate is that so that "everyone can be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth." That truth is the elders teaching that which has been taught.

A Trickle of Spirit: Tim Woodruff

The concept of a TRINITY of separated "god" points primarily to the pagan systems where the SPIRIT of necessity must be the MOTHER. this is based on the Sophia-Zoe concept orother mothers of a daughter trinities.  The inventor and the early writers who spoke of the "trias" of Father, Son and Spirit--none of which are ever the names of persons--they never in their wildest imagination would have left unhurt real bad any of the pulpit level makers of songs and sermons.  John 14 up to chapter 16 where Jesuis uses the word "proverb" makes it perfectly clear that there are not three god people. Much less a "spirit" person who leads people beyond being a teacher and disciple of what Christ commanded to be taught. In Matthew 13 Jesus warned that truth had been hidden from the Scribes and Pharisees He called hypocrites where Christ in Ezekiel 13 named false preachers, singers and instrument players.

1.13.11

Those imposing musical instruments build their faith on the Levites defined by the Scribes: Jesus defined them as hypocrites and Christ in the Ezekiel 33 example named speakers, singers and instrument players. The first two reasons assert that under the Old Testament, God did not just allow instrumental music, He commanded and blessed it. Rick offered the following passages for these contentions: 2 Chronicles 5:13-14; 7:6; 29:25-26; Psalm 33:1- 3; 92:1-3; 150:1-6. Never mind that the godly tribes were quarantined. No singer or player went INTO or NEAR a holy thing or place on the penalty of death. Some of these patterns are separated from the last by up to 300 years. CHRIST IN THE PROPHETS WARNED ABOUT THE LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES. Stand in the gate of the Lords house [courts], and proclaim there this word,         and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah,         that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. Jeremiah 7:2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,         Amend your ways and your doings,         and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Jeremiah 7:3  Trust ye not in lying words, saying,         The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord,         The temple of the Lord, are these. Jeremiah 7:4 Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is WITH US?         LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE HE IT;         THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES IS in vain. 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 Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on John,   That the Pharisees puffed up unto strange boasting,         were wont to pretend that the Divine Word was with them and in them,         and therefore foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to marvellous wisdom,          the Spirit Itself will testify,          since Christ says by the Prophet Jeremiah unto them,                  How do ye say, WE are wise, and the word of the Lord is with us?                 For nought to the scribes became their lying pen;                 the wise men were ashamed, were dismayed and taken;                 what wisdom is in them? because they rejected the word of the Lord. For how are they not taken rejecting the Living and Hypostatic Word of God,          receiving not the faith to Him-ward,           but dishonouring the Impress of God the Father,          and refusing to behold His most true Form (so to say)          through His God-befitting Authority and Power? THE PROPHECIES BY CHRIST WERE FULFILLED BY JESUS CHRIST: JESUS AND PETER MAKES THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS THE ONLY TRUTH. John 6:44 No man can come to me,         except the Father which hath sent me draw him:         and I will raise him up at the last day. 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. 2Pet. 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words         which were spoken before by the HOLY PROPHETS         and of the commandment of us the APOSTLES of the Lord and Saviour: IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WHO SPOKE THROUGH THE PROPHETS AND NOT LYING SCRIBES whom He called hypocrites by naming speakers, singers and instrument players in Ezekiel 33.     1Pet. 1:10 Of which salvation the PROPHETS have inquired and searched diligently,             who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:     1Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time             the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,             when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ,             and the glory that should follow.     God did NOT speak through the lying pen of the Scribes who recorded the Monarchy which God had NOT commanded. Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners         spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Heb. 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us BY HIS SON         whom he hath appointed heir of all things,         by whom also he made the worlds; Heb. 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory,         and the express image of his person,         and upholding all things by the WORD of his power,         when he had by himself purged our sins,         sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high THOSE WHO DELIBERATELY SOW DISCORD BY QUOTING THE LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES (hypocrites: speakers, singers, instrument players) are defined by the Spirit: Jer. 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts,         Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you:         they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart,         and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 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.    Despise tthe Word of God of God and using your own words is: Blasphēm-eō , pf. A. “beblasphēmēka” D.18.10:—speak profanely of sacred things, “eis theous” Pl.R.381e; offer rash prayers, 1. Because Christ as Spirit spoke ONLY through the prophets. 2. Those who use use the pattern of the Lying Pen of the Scribes, in fact despise and ignore the SPIRIT message. 3. Christ in Jeremiah defines that as blasphemy Hebrew: H5006 nâ’ats naw-ats' A primitive root; to scorn; abhor, (give occasion to) blaspheme, contemn, despise, flourish, XThere are TWO ACTORS in God's pattern: God the Father and Jesus of Nazareth whom God MADE TO BE both Lord and Christ. Christ Who is God in action spoke ONLY through the Prophets for the Godly people.  Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled these prophecies and THAT is the sole teaching resource for faith and practice.

As you go through the Epistles by people assigned PARTS to be fully revealed the term "The Holy Spirit" virtually disappears because Jesus Christ THE Spirit was fulfilling His mission to guide the apostles into ALL truth. That leaves nothing for the fertile imagination of Sophists or Rhetoricians.

Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens:
         but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord,
        Sit thou on my right hand,
Acts 2:35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly,
        that God  hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified,
        both Lord and Christ.

All of the Salutations teach this two-fold relationship:

2Cor. 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
        unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2Cor. 1:2 Grace be to you and peace from God our Father,
        and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2Cor. 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father
        of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

1Tim. 2:5 For there is one God,
                and one mediator between God and men,
                the man Christ Jesus;

John identifies as Anti-Christ anyone who denies this One and only One God and One Lord.

When people speak out of their own imagination instead of the Word as Spirit by Christ in the Prophets and Apostles, Christ calls it blasphemy.  Of Hezekiah's Plague stopping exorcism used to say that "God commanded instrumental praise and we must not be disobedient" Christ calls them BLASPHEMERS.

See Christ defining Blasphemy of The Holy Spirit

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.

See how the mother of the child began and ends in "Babylon."
That is why the DOVE and Jesus refutes always-pagan trinities: The Father God identifies His agent as the SON and therefore the masculine Jehovah-Logos.

The rise of the "spirit" telling preachers--right in the middle of a sermon--to lie about the Word of God and COMMAND the use of "instrumental praise" with the threat of being disobedient and refusing them the right to speak to the "leaders."  

The introducion of music is proof of the Sophia-Zoe and effeminate in violent opposition to the Jehovah-Logos which is devoted to the rational or spiritual.  Masculine means say or speak: feminine or effeminate recites or sings.

If you are the victim of such a movement you are under the end-time Babylon mother of harlots (Rev 17) who uses the "lusted after fruits" (same as in Amos).  In chapter 18 John calls the preachers (techne), singers and instrument players sorcererers who HAD deceived the whole world.  In Paul's language, Eve (Zoe) was wholly seduced.  Jesus called the Scribes and Pharisees who gave themselves the right to a new PATTERNISM, hypocrites.  In the Ezekiel 33 version He names preachers, singers and instrument players who attract those who will never obey but the cunning crafty get paid.

4.19.10Without knowing any of the end time ANTI-patternists on a vendetta against people who have NEVER worshipped with instruments under the name of The Church of Christ, I do not attack the persons but the new PATTERNISM which is effeminate and hypocritical as Jesus marked the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites and named "exciting" preachers who go "go to Tulsa" or write for New Wineskins, singers and instrument players. In some Psalms and the prophets Jesus denies authorization for the burnt offering of the goats (cappella, Azazel) as a unity gesture for Israel as the "instrumental sect" even in the Temple.

Knowing that none of the Bible is metrical (the Spirit SPEAKS witout METER), men like Calvin bowed to the clamor to begin singing in the assembly as they had often when the buildings belonged to the Catholics and in entertainment spectacles after the great cathedrals belonged to the state.  To obey the DIRECT COMMANDS, approved examples and inferences for anyone who knows the meaning of ekklesia or synagogue.  The Church of Christ was ordained as the Qahal or synagogue in the wilderness: it quarantined the gody people from the cursed tribe of Levi who were abandoned to "worship the starry host" because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

Plato Symposium Introduction: not even the vilest pagans or the Levites permitted instrumentalists when there was a need to hold dialog (mistranslated today as preach):

Not till they are half-way through the meal does Socrates appear; and Agathon rallies him on his devotion to sophia. The proposal of Pausanias to restrict the potations, in view of yesterday's banquet, and that of Eryximachus to dismiss the flute-girl and amuse themselves by logoi, are unanimously agreed to.

Friend
Where have you been now, Socrates? Ah, but of course you have been in chase of Alcibiades and his youthful beauty! Well, only the other day, as I looked at him, I thought him still handsome as a man—for a man he is, Socrates, between you and me, and with quite a growth of beard.

Socrates
And what of that? Do you mean to say you do not approve of Homer

HH 4 483 Then Hermes answered him with artful words: “You question me carefully, O Far-worker; yet I am [465] not jealous that you should enter upon my art: this day you shall know it. For I seek to be friendly with you both in thought and word. Now you well know all things in your heart, since you sit foremost among the deathless gods, O son of Zeus, and are goodly and strong. And wise Zeus loves you [470] as all right is, and has given you splendid gifts. And they say that from the utterance of Zeus you have learned both the honors due to the gods, O Far-worker, and oracles from Zeus, even all his ordinances. Of all these I myself have already learned that you have great wealth. Now, you are free to learn whatever you please; [475] but since, as it seems, your heart is so strongly set on playing the lyre, chant, and play upon it, and give yourself to merriment, taking this as a gift from me, and do you, my friend, bestow glory on me. Sing well with this clear-voiced companion in your hands; for you are skilled in good, well-ordered utterance. [480] From now on bring it confidently to the rich feast and lovely dance and glorious revel, a joy by night and by day. Whoso with wit [Tekhne] and wisdom [Sophia] enquires of it cunningly, him it teaches [485] through its sound all manner of things that delight the mind, being easily played with gentle familiarities, for it abhors toilsome drudgery; but whoso in ignorance enquires of it violently, to him it chatters mere vanity and foolishness.

HH 4 511 Afterwards they two, the all-glorious sons of Zeus turned the cows back towards the sacred meadow, [505] but themselves hastened back to snowy Olympus, delighting in the lyre. Then wise Zeus was glad and made them both friends. And Hermes loved the son of Leto continually, even as he does now, when he had given the lyre as token to the Far-shooter, [Apollo, Abaddon, Apollyon] [510] who played it skilfully, holding it upon his arm. But for himself Hermes found out another cunning art and made himself the pipes whose sound is heard afar.

Apollo shot real arrows from a twanging bow to send forth singing arrows.  He also as the father of homosexual worship used his lyre to send forth love arrows. That's another MARK.

THE MARK OF SOPHIA-ZOE: SORRY BUT THERE IS NO RECORDED EXCEPTION

The only term meaning LEGALISM ir traditionalism is teaching the words of Apollo as the sun God with instrumental music.  After all, a musical instrument is "a machine for doing hard work mostly in making war (civil) and the shockand awe of religious spectacle. This was the laded burden Jesus died to remove along with the burdenladers.

Plato, Symposium (getting fluted-down with wine)

IV. The Discourse of Pausanias: 180 C-185 C.

d The varying nomoi concerning Eros may be classified thus:— 

(1) In all Greek states except Athens the nomos is simple, either (a) approving paederastia, as in Elis and Boeotia; or (b） condemning it, as in Ionia and states subject to barbarian rule, where it is held to foster a dangerous spirit of independence (e.g. Harmodius and Aristogiton).

(2) At Athens the nomos is complex. (a) Eros is approved, and its excesses condoned, when directed towards superior youths approaching manhood. (b) It appears to be condemned, in so far as parents forbid their boys to hold converse with “erastae.” The explanation of this ambiguous attitude must be sought in the principle laid down above, that the moral quality of an act depends upon the conditions of its performance. The Athenian nomos provides a test for distinguishing between good and bad forms of Eros: the test of time shows whether or not the right motive (desire for aretē) actuates both the lover and his object. This motive alone justifies all erotic pursuits and surrenders, even mutual deception: hence we conclude that kalon aretēs heneka kharizesthai.

Charismatic points specificially to a sexaul explicit: worship being "virtual" does not lessen the impact: that is why up to one half of a congregation flees when the singy-clappy boys stand in the "holy place" singing their own erotic prpaise songs: if you can feel and say "awesom" watch out.  

The New Wineskin as the Vineyard Movement.  People are not shy in promoting music to make the SPIRIT COME.  "Come Holy Spirit" has a hidden meaning common in all pagan religions.

Pind. O. 1 Yes, there are many marvels, and yet I suppose the speech of mortals beyond the true account can be deceptive, stories adorned with embroidered lies; [30] and Grace, who fashions all gentle things for men, confers esteem and often contrives to make believable the unbelievable. But the days to come are the wisest witnesses. [35] It is seemly for a man to speak well of the gods; for the blame is less that way. Son of Tantalus, I will speak of you, contrary to earlier stories. When your father invited the gods to a very well-ordered banquet at his own dear Sipylus, in return for the meals he had enjoyed, [40] then it was that the god of the splendid trident seized you, his mind overcome with desire, and carried you away on his team of golden horses to the highest home of widely-honored Zeus, to which at a later time Ganymede came also, [45] to perform the same service for Zeus.

Grace is another word for Christ like the Word: TRUE Grace has appeared teaching us NOT to do what "grace" demands

        that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.

Titus 2:12 Teaching us that,
        denying ungodliness and WORLDLY lusts,
        we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,
        in this present world;  [Wholly Evil: Jesus will not even pray for the masses}
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope,
        and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us,
        that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
        and purify unto himself a peculiar people,
        zealous of good works.

The fulfilment of Abaddon or Apollyon and Aphrodite or Zoe who is Lucifer

The recent claim by people to be indwelled by a literal "spirit" deny that Jesus as the Christ of God fulfilled all that we need to know about FULL DEITY literally indwelling a man who could never make it on the lecture circuit.  Connected with that claim is its use in what might be psychological violence to impose "musical worship teams" standing in the holy places CLAIMING to be mediators and the deliberate stirring up of strife by planned imposing musical instruments. This is also attended with a warning not to question "the leaders" who relly have no role and no Biblical funding.

I can only tell you what I read in the Bible which always points outside of itself for a fuller understanding: that is why Christ sought out disciples who worship in the PLACE of the Spirit devoted to TRUTH and quarantinedthem from the religion of the culture.  When you begin to question the Word one proof of its inspiration is that you fall into delusions and those are  spelled out in clear detail. The whole message of the Bible is that people use music to "take away the key to knowledge."  ZOE is another name for Lucifer and Christ in the prophets marks him/her/it as "a singing and harp playing prostitute" beginning in the garden of Eden. She arises in the end time as the Babylon Mother of harlots who uses rhetoricians, singers and instrument players as SORCERERS.

2:45      3.23.10
Appendix A   "spirit" is always "neuter." No one ever thought that the Mind of Christ which Paul equated to the Holy Spirit OF God (1 Corinthians 2) was another person.  The most common "pattern" in the Bible is

1. God the Invisible, Inaudible sole Deity which no man can hear, and
2. The Son of God in Jesus of Nazareth "has in these last days" been the SOLE spokesman for God. Jesus said that the Spirit OF truth never speaks on its own.
3. To repudiate the universal superstition that the gods were families especially triads, and in its evil Babylonian or Egyptian example as father, mother and son, God performed a SIGN to prove that the FATHER (alone) speaks through a SON. The spirit or breath which passes between Father and Son is not another person as John 14 makes clear.
4. If you deny that the FULL DEITY dwelled in Jesus as the Christ you are marked as an Anti-Christ.
5. The claim to hear beyond that which is written is most often used as psychological violence to intimidate people "not to question god's anointeds" as they lead you into practices clearly outlawed within the sacred pages and most church history before the "me" generatioon.

Appendix B IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION THE LETTERS TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES SEAL UP THE REVELATION. This has Jesus as the Christ of God "making perfect" that HE is the Spirit or Word to the churches.  If He is Alpha and Omega then He is everything in between.  He sealed up the prophecies just as the Prophets speaking by Christ were sealed and off limites to further changes.

CLICK: That which is perfect is perfect: knowledge in parts yields perfect knowledge. You cannot ammend the perfect. Because church is a "school" only of the Word only for those who are disciples of Christ only, if it writes its own "scripures" in song and sermon it fulfills the sacrificial purpose driven music: to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter. Therefore, it is not possible to look at the claim to be  Second Incarnations without looking at Paul's warning of God sending strong delusions. These strong delusions are marked by the use of all of the performing arts which the Greek literature identifies as lying wonders: "Men set their lies to melodies to deceive the simple minded."  "Perfect gentlement never allows musicians at their manly conversations

7:36       3.23.10
Matthew 12:31 Warning against blaspheming the Spirit OF God.  Jesus said "the flesh counts for nothing." When He returned to His position in Glory as the Head of the Church He said "My WORDS are SPIRIT and they are Life." John 6:63.  Therefore, to deny that the Bible is the sole authority for our faith and practice is to blaspheme the FULL DEITY which dwelled in Jesus as the CHRIST of God.  To claim that the SPIRIT told you that burning goats with instrumental noise as a "unity" gesture to the nation of ISRAEL--the instrumental sect in Amos and Isaiah 5--was the Spirit telling HIM that God commanded instrumental praise for YOUR congregation and you must not disobey" is also blasphemy.  All instrumental efforts to do mind alteration on God's people has been a terminal offense.

 
7:06      3.25.10

Acts 7:51 the danger of resisting the Spirit.  In fact, Stephen recites the event at Mount Sinai which is repeated in Amos. They resisted the Spirit by engaging in the musical idolatry of a trinity.  In Exodus 32 they operated by self-will and just continued their Egyptian musical / trinitarian practices while Moses was warning them against PROFANING the Sabbath in Exodus 31.  The Levites PROFANED the Sabbath with noise (never called music) because they had been ABANDONED.

1:57      3.25.10
THE CHALLENGE TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF WORSHIP 

Ekklesia or synagogue is directly commanded as "a School of the Word."  Music by definition from mystery intends to "make the lambs dumb before the slaughter" and intends to "silence the voice of the victim. That is why music is well documented to be sacred violence.  Music is a latter-day imposition and probably fits clear prophecy.

Worship is in the PLACE of A holy spirit: it is out of reach of those Paul called the dogs.  Examining one of the proof texts we will show that blasphemy in the pagan rituals involved the invasion of singers, players and choirs.  Musical worship of a trinity at Mount Sinai was beyond redemption.  That is the message repeated in the Bible and contemporaneous Hebrew and Greek scholars: if Jesus finds rhetoricians, singers and instrument players in the congregation the LIGHTS (7 spirit candlestick) will be removed for using sorcery to deceive people.

SOME SPECIFIC PROOF TEXTS FOR OPERATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A SEPARATE PERSON.

I will quote John Calvin to try to save the Restoration scholars from the Bubba Gun Rack Dust Bin.  There is no credible scholar in history, including those birthed in the culture and languages of the time, who gave anyone the right to claim direct information which bypassed the Word of God. The Scriptures of the Prophets and Apostles, says Peter, are left as a way to mark false teachers as false prophets were marked.  John Calvin affirms that the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets and not on the horrors of the sacrificial system imposed on those past redemption.

10:38 3.23.10 HOW TO IDENTIFY ANTI-CHRIST BY SIGHT AND SOUND

The writer who recorded Jesus promising another Comforter had Him say I will come to you and in the epistle says that the NAME of the Comforter is Jesus Christ the Righteous.  There is GOD and the SON of God as the only Divine and human actors in the Bible: the SON in turn claims ownership of being Father, Son and Spirit which can never be names of "people."  John said that if you don't believe in this Christ as Father-Son you are an anti-Christ

It cannot be doubted that those who have BEGUN to claim that another Spirit person actually lives in them also claim to be guided by that "spirit" to impose radical, discording and anti-Biblical practices under the name of "worship."

ANTI-CHRIST DENIES THAT THE ABSOLUTE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD DWELLED IN JESUS THE SON BODILY

THE FULFILLMENT OF ABADDON OR APOLLYON AND APHRODITE OR ZOE MEANING LUCIFER.

If God did not make it very clear that there is only ONE SON or physical means of revealing His Mind (spirit) people would easily fall into delusions by strong deluders.   Spirit means OF THE MIND, Rational. Jesus wants DISCIPLES or STUDENTS: He did not invite those He called hypocrites (performing artists) but people to REST from these burdens and COME LEARN OF ME.  See Strabo on the universal association between music and magic or sorcery.

The most common warning is against worshipping the MOTHER of a DAUGHTER:

For instance, the note of  Iamblichus in Myst.1.8 defining the pagan concept of god shows how people using divination are actually filled with an evil spirit.

So, also, certain others of these ecstatics become entheast or inspired when they hear cymbals, drums, or some choral chant; as for example, those who are engaged in the Korybantic Rites, those who are possessed at the Sabazian festivals, and those who are celebrating the Rites of the Divine Mother.

Others, also, are inspired when drinking water, like the priest of the Klarian Apollo at Kolophon; others when sitting over cavities in the earth, like the women who deliver oracles at Delphi; others when affected by vapor from the water, like the prophetesses [of Bel] at Branchidæ; and others when standing in indented marks like those who have been filled from an imperceptible inflowing of the divine plerome.

Others who understand themselves in other respects become inspired through the Fancy: some taking darkness as accessory, others employing certain potions, and others depending on singing and magic figures.

3. That likewise, ecstasy or alienation of mind is a chief origin of the divining art; also the mania which occurs in diseases, mental aberration, abstinence from wine, suffusions of the body. fancies set in motion by morbid conditions or equivocal states of mind, such as may occur during abstinence and ecstasy, or apparitions got up by technical magic. 

12. Goeteia (goetia), or "black magic."

The belief that GOD has not fully Revealed the Divine Mind or Spirit has always created a sense of lostness. The result is to try various methods to PROVE to the person that they themselves may be the agents of God. This black magic pointing to the end time Apollo (Abaddon or Apollyon) is:

Undoubtedly the comic poet who [735] mounted the stage to praise himself in the parabasis would deserve to be handed over to the sticks of the beadles. Nevertheless, oh Muse, if it be right to esteem the most honest and illustrious of our comic writers at his proper value, permit our poet to say that he thinks he has deserved a glorious renown. First of all, he is the one who has compelled his rivals no longer [740] to scoff at rags or to war with lice; and as for those Heracleses, always chewing and ever hungry, he was the first to cover them with ridicule and to chase them from the stage; he has also dismissed that slave, whom one never failed to set weeping before you, [745] so that his comrade might have the chance of jeering at his stripes and might ask, “Wretch, what has happened to your hide? Has the lash rained an army of its thongs on you and laid your back waste?” After having delivered us from all these wearisome ineptitudes and these low buffooneries, he has built up for us a great art, like a palace with high towers, [750] constructed of fine phrases, great thoughts and of jokes not common on the streets. Moreover it's not obscure private persons or women that he stages in his comedies; but, bold as Heracles, it's the very greatest whom he attacks, undeterred by the fetid stink of leather or the threats of hearts of mud. He has the right to say, “I am the first ever dared to go straight for that beast with the sharp teeth

Plato Epinomis Plat. Epin. 987b [987b] is clearly a sign of witlessness; and as to their having got no names, the cause of it should be stated as we have done. For indeed they have received titles of gods: thus, that Lucifer, or Hesperus （which is the same）, should almost belong to Aphrodite, is reasonable, and quite befitting a Syrian lawgiver; and that that which follows the same course as the sun and this together should almost belong to Hermes. Let us also note three motions of bodies travelling to the right with the moon and the sun. 

Lucifer, or Hesperus, may for its beauty be connected with Aphrodite （and so got the further name of Venus）

WHAT'S THE POINT? THOSE WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST RELIEVE BURDENS AND NEVER IMPOSE THEM.

THOSE NOT COMFORTED BY SPEAKING "THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN" (ROM 15) AFTER OUTLAWING SELF PLEASURE OR THE PERFORMING ARTS probably work and work and work but never be able to perform well enough even with professionals.

IF you deny that Christ as SON is full deity for out physical world He will send you strong delusions: the lying wonders are the performing arts claiming that you are worshiping God.

IF YOU PASS JUDGMENT THAT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT OBEY THE GOSPEL ARE SAVED YOU CALL CHRIST A LIAR

In Amos and Isaiah music was both the cause and mark of leaders starving the people to death for lack of the Water of the Word. The text which is neither taught nor used is the cause of hungry and thirst people looking for food and drink while holding it in their hands and preaching fabricated sermons and singing non-Biblical songs.

FIRST PART
Never mind that the New Testament bears witness to the ability of others besides the Apostles to lay on hands and convey this fuller measure of the Spirit.  Ananias did it with Saul.[5]

[5]  Acts 9:17—note Ananias’ statement that he had been sent to Saul so that he might “be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

As an engineer, I can never look at a spot on a device and try to define it technically. I do run on but it keeps me out of jail.

JESUS CHRIST THE SPIRIT DID NOT COMMISSION US FOR THIS TASK.

We need to define how God in Christ can exercise His will and He did by a PERSONAL message to Ananias. None of us fit that patternism.

Max Lucado clearly said that he that he had a vision to remove the confession of "Christ" and impose instrumental music after denying that he would do it on Sunday. As I understand Rubel Shelly and John York they claim new glasses to "work out their salvation" which they interpret as "a new set of scriptures" and writing themselves in.  Rick Atchley is on record claiming the Holy Spirit spoke to him about outing his hidden agenda.  I believe that such a claim is blasphemy because it forces the Spirit or Mind of Christ to lie for them.

CHRIST ALWAYS HAS THE RIGHT TO GO BEYOND WHAT HE AUTHORIZED THE APOSTLES TO DO.

As background, when Miriam claimed that her musical prophesying (soothsaying) was God speaking through her, she was informed:

Num. 12:5 And the LORD [Christ] came down in the pillar of the cloud,
        and stood in the door of the tabernacle,
        and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
Num. 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you
        I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Num. 12:7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Num. 12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth,
        even apparently, and not in dark speeches;
        and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold:
        wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Num. 12:9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
Num. 12:10 And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle;
        and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow:
        and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Deut. 24:9 Remember what the LORD thy God did unto Miriam by the way, after that ye were come forth out of Egypt.

The very recent rise of what John Mark Hicks calls a neo-trinitarianism credits Rubel Shelly and Max Lucado but it really began with H. Leo Boles and probably whipped up recently by the "resurrection" of KC Moser.  This may have damaged people like Rick Atchley who claimed that the Spirit told him he was going to have to "out" his secret agenda which was to impose instruments knowing that he would deliberately sow discord. I believe Paul calls that "strong delusions" and the lying wonders points specificially to using the performing (hypocritic) arts and crafts in the School (only) of the Word (only)

THEREFORE, WE SEE ANANIAS AS A SPECIAL CASE EVEN AS PAUL BECAME AN APOSTLE "AFTER APOSTLE SEASON" AS THE LAST APOSTLE.  If you shoot a deer after "deer season" count on it, a warden will be watching.

Even in this case the Spirit Jesus Christ uses instrumental means.

Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
Acts 9:10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias;
        and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias.
        And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him,
        Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight,
        and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

Acts 9:12 And [Paul] hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in,
        and putting his hand on him,
        that he might receive his sight.

Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered,    
        Lord, I have heard by many of this man,
        how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Acts 9:14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him,
        Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me,
        to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

I believe that when people got a direct mission from God in Christ they were sent out to suffer and die and not be rich and famous.

THE ACTS 22 ACCOUNT WHERE PAUL WENT TO JERUSALEM TO BE CAPTURED OR KILLED.

Acts 22:6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey,
        and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon,
        suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
Acts 22:7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me,
        Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?  
Acts 22:8 And I answered, Who art thou, Lord?
        And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
Acts 22:9 And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid;
        but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
Acts 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me,
        Arise, and go into Damascus;
        and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
Acts 22:11 And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
Acts 22:12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
Acts 22:13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
Acts 22:14 And he said,
        The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
        that thou shouldest know his will, [be filled with spirit]
        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 hast 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.

I don't see how you can have another God person inside of your carnal body without being an EYE- and EAR witness of Jesus Christ.  In fact those who have imposed musical instruments CLAIM that they were guided into violating all of the Bible and recorded history.

You can never be a witness of Christ other than what you HEARD and what you SAW.  That is why self-willed men are forced to CLAIM to have seen visions, heard audible voices or had the spirit tell you "right in the middle of a sermon." I believe that is psychological violence.

BACK TO ACTS 9

Acts 9:17 And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house;         and putting his hands on him said,         Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee              in the way as thou camest,         hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight,         and be filled with the Holy Spirit (Mind of Christ].	Acts 22:14 And he said,         The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,         that thou shouldest know HIS WILL [be filled with spirit]         and see that Just One,         and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;                but be filled with the Spirit; Eph. 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;  [Speak is the opposite of poetry or music] The word SPEAK is the opposite of poetry or music. Eph. 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto GodLord Jesus Christ;   and the Father in the name of our	Col. 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Col. 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;      teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  [All the inspired text] Col. 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
If we call Stephen and others deacons and they were filled with the Holy Spirit Paul said that the deacons must be Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. What Peter promised as the gift of A holy spirit in Acts he called A good conscience in 1 Peter 3:21. J. W. McGarvey who wrote for Lipscomb but did not support what H. Leo Boles taught.

Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales:
        and he received sight forthwith,
        and arose, and was baptized.
Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened.
        Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
Acts 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Acts 9:21 But all that heard him were amazed,
        and said; Is not this he that destroyed them
        which called on this name in Jerusalem,
        and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
This is a quicky review which may not read too well in the morning.

I will look at this later.  P.S. When people use the phrase "our heritage" they are saying that this is a virus we caught from out godly ancestors who lived in the old "modern" era.  Their's was not a knee jerk reaction but something they had always held for the 1800 plus years of recorded history.  John Calvin even said that anyone who thinks that they get "spirit" without reading the Word is a fanatic.

SECOND PART:

Tim Woodruff: Elders of the church did it with Timothy.[6]  

  [6]  1 Timothy 4:14—elders of the church laid hands on Timothy and conveyed a “gift.”

2Tim. 1:1 Paul, an apostle
        of Jesus Christ by the will of God,
        according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2Tim. 1:2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace,
        from God the Father                  [Full Deity (one) invisible, inaudible, no man can hear]
        and Christ Jesus our Lord.      [Lord: God working through means]
2Tim. 1:3 I thank God,
        whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience,
        that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
2Tim. 1:4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2Tim. 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee,
        which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice;
        and I am persuaded that in thee also.

2Tim. 1:6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance
        that thou stir up the gift of God,
        which is in thee BY the putting on of MY hands.

Notice that this is a person or "people as another center of consciousness" Here are gifts of God.

2Tim. 1:7 For God hath not given us
        the spirit OF fear;
        but spirit OF power,
        and spirit OF love,
        and spirit OF a spirit OF
2Tim. 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the TESTIMONY of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner:
        but be thou partaker of the afflictions
        of the gospel according to the power of God;

A. 1Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time
        the Spirit OF Christ which was in them did signify,
        when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ,
        and the glory that should follow.
B. 2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded: [refusing to hear the Word they turned to musical idolatry]
        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 to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Cor. 3:17 Now the LORD IS that Spirit:
        and where the SPIRIT OF the Lord is, there is liberty.
2Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
        are changed into the same image from glory to glory,
        even as by the SPIRIT OF the Lord
C. 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

THE POWER WAS BESTOWED BY THE HANDS OF AN APOSTLE

Paul defines the ekklesia or synagoge both inclusively in several of his letters.  For instance.

1Tim. 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to [public] reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

The Gentiles and Timothy were already wise unto salvation because they had heard Christ define the future REST in great detail

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

This was the Holy Convocation defined inclusively and exclusively for the Church of Christ in the Wilderness.
The qahal or synagoue could not be called nor performed by the ALARM which was vocal or instrumental rejoicing and which Moses knew to be musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

Acts 13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham,
        and whosoever among you feareth God,
        to you is the word of this salvation sent.
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.

Now, notice the difference between Paul's--a apostle--BY my hands and gift WITH the teaching of the presbytery.

1Tim. 4:14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy,  [Teaching]
        WITH the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
1Tim. 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
1Tim. 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them:
        for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

THIRD PART:

Tim Woodruff: Timothy himself appears to have this ability to pass on gifts to his churches.[7] If we could just ignore these inconvenient passages, however, we could justify a cessationist view of the miraculous spiritual gifts: they stopped when the Apostles were no longer around to pass them on to God’s people.

[7]  1 Timothy 5:22—Paul warns his protégée not to be hasty in laying on hands. Perhaps this refers to ordination of church leaders. But the language is certainly consistent with the impartation of spiritual gifts.

The ekklesia with about the same meaning as the synagogue in the Greek world did not tolerate preacher or musicians: they could read and discuss only material presented by a highter power.  Paul warns against women getting involved because in a heated debate there was a temptation to man handle a speaker. Paul is saying DON'T GET VIOLENT.

1Tim. 5:21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels,
        that thou observe these things without preferring one before another,
        doing nothing by partiality.

1Tim. 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure.

THIS IS A WARNING AGAINST GETTING PHYSICAL IN THE EKKLESIA:

G2007 epitithēmi ep-ee-tith'-ay-mee From G1909 and G5087 ; to impose (in a friendly or hostile sense):—add unto, lade, lay upon, put (up) on, set on (up), + surname, X wound.

G5030 tacheōs takh-eh'-oce Adverb from G5036 ; briefly, that is, (in time) speedily, or (in manner) rapidly:—hastily, quickly, shortly, soon, suddenly.

Aeschin. 1 35 [If any public man, speaking in the senate or in the assembly of the people, shall not speak on the subject which is before the house, or shall fail to speak on each proposition separately, or shall speak twice on the same subject in one day, or if he shall speak abusively or slanderously, or shall interrupt the proceedings, or in the midst of the deliberations shall get up and speak on anything that is not in order, or shall shout approval, or shall lay hands on the presiding officer, on adjournment of the assembly or the senate the board of presidents are authorized to report his name to the collectors, with a fine of not more than 50 drachmas for each offence. But if he be deserving of heavier penalty, they shall impose a fine of not more than 50 drachmas, and refer the case to the senate or to the next meeting of the assembly [Ekklesia] . After due summons that body shall pass judgment; the vote shall be secret, and if he be condemned, the presiding officers shall certify the result to the collectors.]” 

The term The Holy Spirit was dropped as the final writers finished their PART of the WHOLE.  That is because Jesus Christ as the Name of The Holy Spirit promised to lead the APOSTLES (only) into all truth.  When HE had lead them into all truth as The Holy Spirit Of Christ the language shifts sharply to cut off all latter day pretenders and disturbers of the weak in the faith.

PART TWO

SOME SPECIFIC PROOF TEXTS FOR OPERATIONS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A SEPARATE PERSON.

A Textual Tension

Given these “more” factors (our commitment to a rational faith and the perceived lack thereof in others), we were then forced to face a troubling tension at the very foundation of our restoration efforts. The goal of our movement was to “restore” the New Testament church. 

I don't think so: I believe the Restoration term is a retrospect: it was John Calvin who began a Restoration Movement of the Church of Christ. Neither he nor anyone wanted to restore Corinth which is used as a pattern for "unity in diversity." The Campbells believed with Calvin that if you REMOVE those rituals such as instruments and exorcism which had been ADDED without any Scriptural authority the church would be just fine. The Campbell's planned to restore:

Church as A School of Christ
Worship as Reading and Musing the Word of God

That is the pattern Christ ordained for the Church in the wilderness and never changed it. That was the pattern for the historic church of Christ until singing as an ACT was imposed with lots of discord in the yer 373. Preaching came about the same time. There was no law of giving or budgets.

We believed the key to pleasing God and changing the world and ushering in the Millennium was to recreate first century Christianity with all its pristine beauty in our own time. We were obsessed with the practices, habits, worship, governance, and teachings of the church we found in the pages of the New Testament.

I don't think so: some of the encyclopedic history writers make a serious mistake: It was the Millerites who decided that Jesus was going to return in about 1843. The Disciples got busy and organized because they had to "save all of the Jews" to enable Jesus to return.  It was Alexander Campbell who explained all of the millenniel views but rejected all of them.  See Restoration Roots

See Alexander Campbell: The Second Coming of Christ

This tension and the questions it raised became especially evident when we turned in our Bibles to the writings of Luke and Paul. We loved these inspired writers, embracing them as our true mentors in the faith. We took their writings as our primary Scriptural authority. Acts and Paul’s epistles became our canon-within-a-canon. Luke and Paul set the foundations and laid the parameters for our understanding of church, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, polity, worship, conduct, and witness.

We depended on their writings to show us the way. The Gospels were good, but sadly lacking in the pragmatics of ecclesiastical conduct. John’s Revelation? Well …. But Acts! Paul’s letters! Now there were ideas you could wrap your Millennial Harbinger around!

These two writers were so eminently rational, so easily replicable. Their depiction of the first century church seemed so elegant to us … so perspicuous. A single pattern. A clear description of acceptable worship. An unambiguous guide to organization and collective action.

Until it came to their teaching about the Holy Spirit! Suddenly, things weren’t simple at all. Anointings of fire. Prophecy. Tongues and wonders. The Spirit pouring out and falling on and filling up. Visions. Healings. 

Paul set apart by the Spirit (Ac 13:2), 

Acts 9:3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: 
        and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
Acts 9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him,
        Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said,
        I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him,
        Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me
        to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.

Acts 22:21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.

Jesus Christ the Spirit continued to work through instrumental means and in this case to tell Paul the Apostle where to go to fulfill the commission.

Acts 13:1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch 
        certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger,
        and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted,
        the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas
        and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

We have noted of all of the apostles, when Jesus Christ THE Spirit speaks to you it is to SEND you out to suffer and die.  This is still Jesus of Nazareth being with Paul to guide him into all truth but not to us:

Acts 13:3 And when they had fasted and prayed,
        and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Acts 13:4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost,
        departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Acts 13:5 And when they were at Salamis,
        they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews:
        and they had also John to their minister.

You will notice that Jesus Christ the Spirit is simply using these men to instruct Paul.

prevented by the Spirit (Ac 16:7), 

Acts 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, 
        to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen,
         and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;

Acts 16:6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, 
        and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 

spirit of Jesus ESV, NLT,  This is what Jesus of Nazareth promised to Paul to guide him to preach to the people and then suffer and die.

warned by the Spirit (Ac 20:23), compelled by the Spirit (Ac 20:22).

Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, 
        repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:22 And now, behold, I go bound in the [Paul's] spirit unto Jerusalem,
        not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
Acts 20:23 Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city,
        saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.

The Holy Spirit testified by a prophet:
Acts 21:10 And as we tarried there many day
there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.

Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself,
        so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry,
        which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Churches saved by the Spirit (Tit 3:5), 

Titus 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, 
        but according to his mercy he saved us, ˜
        by the washing of regeneration,     [baptism]˜
        and renewing of the Holy Ghost;    [which gives us A holy spirit]
Titus 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Paliggenesia of persons, beginning of a new life,  2. regeneration by baptism, “dia loutrou paliggenesias” Ep.Tit.3.5.

2Cor. 4:16 For which cause we faint not; 
        but though our outward man perish,
        yet the inward man is renewed day by day. ˜
Eph. 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit OF your mind;
Col. 3:10 And have put on the new man,
        which is renewed in knowledge
        after the image of him that created him:

led by the Spirit (Ro 8:14), 

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then ........with the MIND I myself serve the law of God; ........but with the FLESH the law of sin. Rom 7:25

Rom 8:1 THERE is therefore now no condemnation to them ........ which are in Christ Jesus, ........ who walk not after the flesh, [human] ........ but after the Spirit.  [human]

 
Rom. 8:10 And if Christ be IN you, 
        the [your] body is dead because of sin;
        but the [your] Spirit is life because of righteousness.

You will notice that Christ in you is the same as the Spirit of God who raised up Jesus
Therefore, the name of the Spirit OF God is Christ and not another person.
In John 14 having Father and Son IN us is the same as WE being IN the Father and Son.
Therefore, in does not mean INSIDE OF: The Spirit OF Christ dwells in our Spirits BY FAITH.

Rom. 8:11 But if the Spirit OF him that
        raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
        he that raised up Christ from the dead
        shall also quicken your mortal bodies
        by his spirit that dwelleth in you.

Rom. 8:12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors,
        not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. [your]
Rom. 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:
        but if ye through the [your] Spirit
        do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

The Spirit OF God cannot be ANOTHER Spirit.

Rom. 8:14 For as many as are led
        by the spirit OF God, they are the sons OF God.
Rom. 8:15 For ye have not received
        the spirit OF bondage again to fear;
        but ye have received the Spirit OF adoption,
        whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Because there are no upper case or Capital "S"pirit in the text, if the spirit OF God is a person then wouldn't thespirit OF bondage be another person.  When we have the "mental disposition:" of a son then WE call God Father.

empowered by the Spirit (Ro 15:13), 

Rom. 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, 
        There shall be a root of Jesse,
        and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles;
        in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Rom. 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
        that ye may abound in hope,
        through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Rom. 15:14 And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren,
        that ye also are full of goodness,
        filled with all knowledge,
        able also to admonish one another.
Rom. 15:15 Nevertheless, brethren,
        I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort,
        as putting you in mind,
        because of the grace that is given to me of God,
Rom. 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
        ministering the gospel of God,
        that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable,
        being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.

taught by the Spirit (1Co 2:13),

Paul confirms that NO MAN can hear or see or understand anything about God that is not revealed by the Son in a face to face or mouth to mouth revelation.  Paul will write the Corinthians if they need further information: this proves that those who thought that they had a gift were just fooling themselves

1Cor. 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
        neither have entered into the heart of man,
        the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 
1Cor. 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto US by his Spirit: 
        for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Notice how the Spirit of God and the spirit of man have the same meaning: God'sSpirit is God's Mind and not another person.

1Cor. 2:11
For what man knoweth the things OFa man, 
        ave the spirit OFman which is in him?
even so the things OF God knoweth no man,
        but the Spirit OF God.

1Cor. 2:12 Now we have received,
        not the spirit OF the world,
        but the spirit which is OF God;
        that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Cor. 2:13 Which things also we speak,
        not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth,
        but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

1Cor. 2:16 For who hath known the mind OF the Lord, that he may instruct him?
        But we have the mind OFChrist.

Jesus spoke of PLACES when in John 4 He said that worship was not in the PLACE of the Samaritans or the PLACE of the Jews but in the PLACE of the human spirit deboted to the Spirit OF Truth.  Paul warned that while we assemble to speak that which is written with one mind and one mouth to educate (Romans 15) our worship must be IN THE SPIRIT which is opposite to IN THE SPIRIT:

Phil. 3:1 Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Phil. 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Phil. 3:3 For we are the circumcision, 
        which worship God IN THE SPIRIT and rejoice IN Christ Jesus,
        and have no confidence IN THE FLESH

The Dogs were Catamites or Cynics and their ACADEMY was opposite the ACADAMY or synagogue of God.  The Cynics were especially identified by their "old style praise singing" which is not a pretty picture in any religious music.

Phil. 1:9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;

That is because The Holy Spirit OF Christ is named Jesus Christ.

The Spirit described by Luke and Paul posed a significant challenge to our Lockean faith. He confused our conclusions on baptism (“Is baptism in water or Spirit?”—Ac 1:5; “Wadda ya mean the Spirit fell on them before they were baptized?”—Ac 10:47).

IT IS HUMAN REASON WHICH IS OUTLAWED.

The word SPIRIT means RATIONAL MIND. The Word WORD means "the rational discourse of God." God is rational and He created humans as RATIONAL or REASONABLE or SPIRITUAL.

Reason is what one uses to make changes in the church to make it ABLE to work in our century. Faith is accepting the Word of God for our faith and practice. The changers use REASON to change or innovate by claiming that the OLD does not work anymore.

A Letter Concerning Toleration.

"But since men are so solicitous about the true church, I would only ask them here, by the way, if it be not more agreeable to the Church of Christ
........... to make the conditions of her communion consist in such things, and such things only,
........... as the Holy Spirit has in the Holy Scriptures declared, in express words, to be necessary to salvation;

I ask, I say, whether this be not more agreeable to the Church of Christ

than for men to impose their own inventions and interpretations upon others as if they were of Divine authority,
and to establish by ecclesiastical laws, as absolutely necessary to the profession of Christianity,

such things as the Holy Scriptures do either not mention, or at least not expressly command?

Whosoever requires those things in order to ecclesiastical communion,
which Christ does not require in order to life eternal,
he may, perhaps, indeed constitute a society accommodated to his own opinion and his own advantage;

but how that can be called the Church of Christ which is established upon laws that are not His, and which excludes such persons from its communion as He will one day receive into the Kingdom of Heaven, I understand not.

David Hume, 1711-1776

"These two species of false religion, though both pernicious, are yet of a very different, and even of a contrary nature.

The mind of man is subject to certain unaccountable terrors and apprehensions, proceeding either from the unhappy situation of private or public affairs, from ill health, from a gloomy and melancholy disposition, or from the concurrence of all these circumstances.

In such a state of mind, infinite unknown evils are dreaded from unknown agents; and where real objects of terror are wanting, the soul, active to its own prejudice, and fostering its predominant inclination,

finds imaginary ones, to whose power and malevolence it sets no limits.
As these enemies are entirely invisible and unknown,

the methods taken to appease them are equally unaccountable, and consist in ceremonies, observances, mortifications, sacrifices, presents, or in any practice, however absurd or frivolous,

which either folly or knavery recommends to a blind and terrified credulity. Weakness, fear, melancholy, together with ignorance, are, therefore, the true sources of SUPERSTITION.

But the mind of man is also subject to an unaccountable elevation and presumption, arising from prosperous success, from luxuriant health, from strong spirits, or from a bold and confident disposition.

In such a state of mind, the imagination swells with great but confused conceptions, to which no sublunary beauties or enjoyments can correspond. Every thing mortal and perishable vanishes as unworthy of attention.

And a full range is given to the fancy in the invisible regions or world of spirits, where the soul is at liberty to indulge itself in every imagination, which may best suit its present taste and disposition.

Hence arise raptures, transports, and surprising flights of fancy; and confidence and presumption still increasing, these raptures (rapes), being altogether unaccountable, and seeming quite beyond the reach of our ordinary faculties,

are attributed to the immediate inspiration of that Divine Being, who is the object of devotion.

Human reason was not based on the understanding of Scripture. Rather, when people come to believe that they are inspired they use their own feelings induced primarily today by "music" then they are using human reason.

In a little time, the inspired person comes to regard himself as a distinguished favourite of the Divinity; and when this frenzy once takes place, which is the summit of enthusiasm, every whimsy is consecrated:

Human reason, and even morality are rejected as fallacious guides:

And the fanatic madman delivers himself over, blindly, and without reserve, to the supposed illapses of the spirit, and to inspiration from above.

Hope, pride, presumption, a warm imagination, together with ignorance, are, therefore, the true sources of enthusiasm. (See Speaking in Tongues)

Peter had to look back a decade to find something similar to the upper room experience.  This was a deliberate act of God to dare the doubting Jews to forbid Peter to baptize Cornelius. This was one of the FOUR groups to which Jesus sent the Apostles where the SIGNS would validate the Apostles and not save anyone. When the four groups received the certification it did not happen again.

LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT SPIRIT

He chose church leaders without congregational consultation or vote (e.g., Ac 13:4). 

Acts 13:2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, 
        the Holy Ghost SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul
        for the work whereunto I have called them.
 
We noted above that the Spirit Lord named Jesus of Nazareth caused Paul to HEAR and SEE Him to qualify as a SENT Apostle.  It was Jesus Christ who used these men to SEND OUT Paul as an apostle.  If YOU are separated out by an AUDIBLE voice of Jesus Christ He wants you to go, suffer and die.

He disrupted orderly assemblies (with tongues, prophecies, and other inconvenient interruptions—1Co 14). 

There is no evidence that any carnal Corinthian had a single gift: if they needed instructions Paul would write them a letter.  This spirit absolutely silenced singing out of their own spirit or women speaking in the assembly.   The Mad Women of Corinth were notorious and some probably served as oracles for Apollo where they went mad on sniffing gas, wine or music. Their uncovered prophesying (1 Cor 10:5) was outside of the asembly.  The "tongues" were not UNKNOWN but minor dialects which people tended to use in a church where most would understand Koine.  A person should not speak in Thracian dialect unless HE could pray so that HE could interpret.

Eph. 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph. 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

That which is PERFECT is that which was supplied IN PARTS by people given supernatural powers.  When they completed their work then cunning craftiness (all of the theatrical, musical arts) could not teach their false doctrine which did not measure up to the revelation.  Paul regulated the speaking and absolutely outlawed women who tended to break out in singing musically.

Aristotle Politics 1341b and all the instruments that require manual skill. And indeed there is a reasonable foundation for the story that was told by the ancients about the flute. The tale goes that Athena found a flute and threw it away. Now it is not a bad point in the story that the goddess did this out of annoyance because of the ugly distortion of her features; but as a matter of fact it is more likely that it was because education in flute-playing has no effect on the intelligence, whereas we attribute science and art to Athena...And since we reject professional education in the instruments and in performance  (and we count performance in competitions as professional,  for the performer does not take part in it  for his own improvement, but for his hearers'  pleasure, and that a vulgar pleasure, owing  to which we do not consider performing to be proper for free men, but somewhat menial; and indeed performers do become vulgar, 

The challenged our understandings of the nature of worship. (Does “worship” consist of acts we perform or spiritual and emotional responses to God that only the Spirit can prompt? See Php 3:3 and John 4:24.) 

You will remember that the ZOE GROUP brought in an expert to debunk the PLATONIC FALLACY: No such luck.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers (an adorer) shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23

God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24

In spirit does not mean 'enthusiastically' or paying attention to the true meaning as one is involved in external worship in specified forms, at specified times and specified places. Philo invented that word: enthus o mania meaning to be mad, insane possessed by the demons.

Basil severely trimmed the earlier "liturgy" and thereby simplifying the collective assembly.

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Eph 6:17

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; Eph 6:18

For we are the circumcision, which

worship God IN THE spirit,

and rejoice in Christ Jesus,

and have no confidence IN THE flesh. Philippians 3:3

WHY MUST WORSHIP BE IN THE PLACE THE SPIRIT OR HEART?

Phil. 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

That leaves worship IN THE SPIRIT as defined exclusively of being giving heed to the Word God.

Heredos 7:153 When the founding of Gela by Antiphemus and the Lindians of Rhodes was happening, he would not be left behind. [2] His descendants in time became and continue to be priests of the goddesses of the underworld [Demeter and Persephon]; this office had been won, as I will show, by Telines, one of their forefathers. There were certain Geloans who had been worsted in party strife and had been banished to the town of Mactorium, inland of Gela. [3] These men Telines brought to Gela
        with no force of men but only the holy instruments of the goddesses worship to aid him.
        From where he got these, and whether or not they were his own invention, I cannot say;
however that may be, it was in reliance upon them that he restored the exiles, on the condition that his descendants should be ministering priests of the goddesses. 

        [4] Now it makes me marvel that Telines should have achieved such a feat, 
        for I have always supposed that such feats cannot be performed by any man
        but only by such as have a stout heart and manly strength.
       Telines, however, is reported by the dwellers in Sicily to have had a soft and effeminate disposition.

Suagros: Athenaens, 401 d, gives the word as an epithet of a dog (from Soph. Akhilleōs Erastai; cp. Nauck, Tr. Gr. Fr. p 132), but ascribes the name to an Aitolian general as well as to this Spartan.
        Aelian 14. 21 places a poet of the name after Orpheus and Musaios,

        or perhaps he may even have donned female attire for the exhibition of the holy things,
        and this cult-practice may have generated the traditional view of his character.

Plato Republic Plat. Rep. 398e [398e] are the dirge-like modes of music? Tell me, for you are a musician.” “The mixed Lydian NOTE” he said, “and the tense or higher Lydian, and similar modes.” “These, then,” said I, “we must do away with. For they are useless even to women [note] who are to make the best of themselves, let alone to men.” “Assuredly.” “But again, drunkenness is a thing most unbefitting guardians, and so is softness and sloth.” “Yes.” “What, then, are the soft and convivial modes?” “There are certain Ionian and also Lydian modes

NOTE  2: The modes of Greek music are known to the English reader only from Milton's allusions, his “Lap me in soft Lydian airs” and, P.L. i. 549 f., his “Anon they move/ in perfect phalanx to the Dorian mood/ Of flutes and soft recorders; such as rasied/ To highth of noblest temper heroes old.” 

The adaptation of particualr modes, harmonies, or scales to the expression of particular feelings is something that we are obliged to accept on faith. Plato's statements here were challenged by some later critics, but the majority believed that there was a connection between modes of music and modes of feeling, as Ruskin and many others have in our day.

Homer 3 to Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) HH 3 195 Leto's all-glorious son goes to rocky Pytho, playing upon his hollow lyre, clad in divine, perfumed garments; and his lyre, [185] at the touch of the golden key, sings sweet. Thence, swift as thought, he speeds from earth to Olympus, to the house of Zeus, to join the gathering of the other gods: 
        then straightway the undying gods think only of the lyre and song,
        and all the Muses together, voice sweetly answering voice,

[190] hymn the
        unending gifts the gods enjoy
        and the sufferings of men,
        all that they endure at the hands of the deathless gods,
        and how they live witless and helpless and cannot find healing for death
        or defence against old age.

Meanwhile the rich-tressed Graces and cheerful Seasons dance with [195] Harmonia and Hebe and Aphrodite, daughter of Zeus, holding each other by the wrist. And among them sings one, not mean nor puny, but tall to look upon and enviable in mien, Artemis who delights in arrows, sister of Apollo. [200] Among them sport Ares and the keen-eyed Slayer of Argus, while Apollo plays his lyre stepping high and featly and a radiance shines around him, the gleaming of his feet and close-woven vest. And they, [205] even gold-tressed Leto and wise Zeus, rejoice in their great hearts as they watch their dear son playing among the undying gods.

NOT IN THE ASSEMBLY PLEASE: The Spirit OF Christ or the Spirit OF God or Paul's spirit is being discussed.   The "spirit" which groans is the inner man, the rational nature of man.
