Lipscomb University Theology Replaces Holy Scripture

2Th. 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
        except there come a falling away first,
        and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th. 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped;
        so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

2Th. 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
        only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th. 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
        whom the Lord shall consume with the SPIRIT of his MOUTH,
        and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th. 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan
        with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th. 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
        because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th. 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th. 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Strong Delusions Produce lying wonders.

Stephen Lawson Nietzsche " Upon this theological instinct I make war: I find the tracks of it everywhere. Whoever has theological blood in his veins is shifty and dishonourable in all things"

Stephen Lawson Teaches Human Imagination called Theology that the Ancient Documents of Christ are obsolete.  

Candace McQueen, as LU President, is now President of Lipcomb University. She needs many prayers. This comes at a time when Theology suddenly heard A spirit informing them that neither Father, Spirit, Son, Apostles is just just LETTER.  The Austin connection Theologians are empowered to deny that neither Father, Prophets, Jesus nor Holy Scripture could know that we have met a "CONTINGENT" that they could have anticipated.

And women lead everyone to follow the SERPENT path to find their CENTER. They will get a message which makes The Death and Last Will and Testament of Jesus unnecessary.

However, this SPIRITUS seems to add to the PATTERN and take over your congregation and Universities.  Isn't God's Prophecies fulfilled wonderful

Rubel Shelly John York: Just get us humans more interested in our differences and distinctions than in our common ground and similarities in Christ, and the church remains the devil's playground.

[p. 114] Our proposal to focus on Jesus means that Scripture is NO LONGER a set of proof-texts or a collection of facts or God's rulebook for human behavior. Scripture is the unfolding story of God acting both to create and to re-create. It is not an easy book to understand.

It was NEVER intended as a document to [p. 115] be INDIVIDUALLY read and interpreted--a sort~of correspondence course in salvation.

Henry Blackaby: "In the Old Testament God spoke at many times and in a variety of ways. Through Jesus,

God Himself spoke to His people during His lifetime.
Now God speaks through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will teach you all things, will call to your memory the things Jesus said, will guide you into all truth, will speak what He hears from the Father, will tell you what is yet to come, and glorify Christ as He reveals Christ to you.

This SPIRIT's PATTERN is defined in Biblical and Secular Literature.  His name is APOLLYON and his daughter is MASTER or Leader.

Stephen Lawson:

David Bentley Hart described the shift from ‘modernism’
        into the constellation of movements described as ‘postmodern,’
      characterized as they are by the discovery
            of the ultimate foundationlessness of ‘truth,’
             succinctly as “the ascendancy of RHETORIC over dialectic.”

Hart is speaking of Stephen Lawson and not the Holy Scriptures. Like all THEOLOGY or tampering with the WORD, that is proof of a strong delusion for which there is no cure.

Eph. 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
        but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [EDUCATED BY] the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
         Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not:
        the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.
John 10:26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

1John 4:5 They are OF THE WORLD:
        therefore speak they OF the world,
        and the world heareth them.
1John 4:6 WE ARE OF GOD:
        he that knoweth God heareth us;
        he that IS NOT OF GOD heareth not us.
        Hereby know we the spirit OF truth,
        and the spirit OF error.

Rhetoric is a one-man use of cunning of speech and actions INTENDED to prove one's opinion. In Ephesians 4 the elders as the only pastor-teacher is to remove the Cunning Craftsmen or SOPHISTS. Sophists are speakers, singers, instrument players or actors. ALL of these are Laded Burdens or Spiritual excitement intended to replace the one-piece Pattern of SPEAKING or READING that which is written for our LEARNING. Scripture and Church Fathers warn that to be "standing in the holy place claiming to BE God.  First Corinthians 1 certifies Isaiah 33 which outlaws Podiums and "takers of Shekels."

Dialect is ANTICHRIST because it assumes that God was ignorant and truth must be discovered by human reasoning.  "Theology" rejects what Jesus called Holy Scripture as "The Prophecies CONCERNING ME."

What David Bentley Hart said. However, Lipscomb's CONTINGENCY can dishonor God or man.

Christ.and.Nothing.David.Bentley.Hart

As modern men and women—to the degree that we are modern—we believe in nothing. This is not to say, I hasten to add, that we do not believe in anything; I mean, rather, 
        that we hold an unshakable, if often unconscious,
        faith in the nothing, or in nothingness as such.

It is this in which we place our trust, upon which we venture our souls, and onto which we project the values by which we measure the meaningfulness of our lives. Or, to phrase the matter more simply and starkly, our religion is one of very comfortable nihilism.

Even our ethics are achievements of will. And the same is true of those custom-fitted spiritualities—
        “New Age,” occult, pantheist, “Wiccan,” or what have you—
        by which many of us now divert ourselves from the quotidien dreariness of our lives.

But we—while not ignoring how appalling such a condition is—should yet rejoice that modernity offers no religious comforts to those who would seek them. In this time of waiting, in this age marked only by the absence of faith in Christ,
it is well that the modern soul should lack repose, piety, peace, or nobility,
        and should find the world outside the Church
        barren of spiritual rapture or mystery,
        and should discover no beautiful or terrible or merciful gods
        upon which to cast itself.
With Christ came judgment into the world,
        a LIGHT of discrimination
        from which there is neither retreat nor sanctuary
And this means that, as a quite concrete historical condition,
        the only choice that remains
        for the children of post-Christian culture
            is not whom to serve,
            but whether to serve Him whom Christ has revealed
            or to serve nothing—the nothing.
No third way lies open for us now, because—as all of us now know,
         \whether we acknowledge it consciously or not—
        all things have been made subject to Him,
        all the thrones and dominions of the high places
        have been put beneath His feet,
        until the very end of the world, and—simply said—
        there is no other god.

Before the prophesied end-time, no one was so profane as to make merchandise by make Father and Son and Holy Scripture now OBSOLETE. It is fitting that this is the SPIRIT of Apollyon. Jeremiah identified by Jesus as Holy Scripture wrote:

Jer. 8:9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo,
         they have rejected the WORD of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

Rev. 3:8 I know thy works: behold, 
         I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it:
        for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my WORD, and hast not denied my name.

Lipscomb University Persons hold workshops repudiating the REGULATIVE PRINCIPLE. 

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy TRUTH: thy WORD is truth.
Acts 26:25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus;
        but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.

Stephen may be hallucinating. He might be just a singular MIND and no one else exists.  He might be the universe and everything and everyone else might be in His GLOBAL MIND.  He might get paid with a slip of paper. However, he but not thee is quite certain that he can exchange that slip of paper for a new T.V.  He can watch a riot a thousand miles away. How can he know that he is not just a brain storm in a one eyed giant?

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence
        to WRITE unto you of the common salvation,
         it was needful for me to write unto you,
         and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for THE FAITH
         which was once delivered unto the saints.

Stephen finds the Last Will and Testament leaving a huge fortune to a person named Stephen as her great, great grandchild.  Certainly Stephen throughs it into the fire. No. Stephen knows that he had such an ancestor and she really lived.  Stephen takes the will to an atorney and gets a box of gold.  Stephen knows that reality in that CONTEXT is good.

How could God, Jude and recorded history know and define in detail the FOREORDAINED assualt against truth at about this time?

Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
        who were before of old ORDAINED to this condemnation,
         ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
        and denying the
        only Lord God,
        AND our
        Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
        though ye once knew this, how that the Lord,

        afterward destroyed them that believed not.

IT IS A LIE TO CLAIM THAT ANY FAITH OR PRACTICE OF THE HISTORIC CHURCH OF CHRIST IS BASED ON HUMAN REASON.  IT IS ALSO A LIE THAT GOD SPEAKS TO STEPHEN LAWSON.

Post-Christian and Post-God agnosticism or Atheism means that Paul informed by Jesus is no longer understandable.  

Men "standing in the holly place claiming superiority to God say YOU cannot understand:

1Tim. 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved,
        and to come unto the knowledge of THE TRUTH
1Tim. 2:5 For there is ONE GOD
        and one mediator between God and men,
        the man Christ Jesus;
1Tim. 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all,
         to be testified in due time.

No  Lipscomb Theologian believes that anymore. However, BAPTISM SAVES means that a tiny number have heard the invitation and REQUESTED A holy spirit (never person) to be able to be TAUGHT BY CHRIST through His Word.

Stephen Lawson: and the inevitable configurations of power that figure into its interpretation.
This discovery, prefigured by Nietzsche,   
         has resulted in a fundamental shift not simply in the results,
            but also in OBJECTS of philosophical inquiry.

Philosophers are decreasingly interested
        in articulating abstract foundationalist ontologies
        and instead are turning their attention
                toward the rhetoric and power that lies behind all truth claims.
The ‘who’ and ‘why’ of speaking are examined before the ‘what.’

This discovery, prefigured by Nietzsche
            has resulted in a fundamental shift not simply in the results,
         but also in the objects of philosophical inquiry.

Upon this theological instinct I make war: I find the tracks of it everywhere. Whoever has theological blood in his veins is shifty and dishonourable in all things

Must I add that, in the whole New Testament, there appears but a solitary figure worthy of honour? Pilate, the Roman viceroy. To regard a Jewish imbroglio seriously--that was quite beyond him. One Jew more or less-- what did it matter? . . . The noble scorn of a Roman, before whom the word "truth" was shamelessly mishandled, enriched the New Testament with the only saying that has any value--and that is at once its criticism and its destruction: "What is truth?". . .

Stephen Lawson and A new breed of Theologians are required to teach Christianity new CHANGES to fit CONTINGENCIES which God could not have anticipated. All of the "theology" and "contingencies" seem to focus on Churches of Christ who resist having their congregation taken over so the boys and girls can make angels blush as "Musical Worship Ministers." A son FROM God would know that instrumental sounds create a laded burden or "Spiritual anxiety caused by the Ritual." It would be a wast of time to supply the flood of warning about people making any kind of musical sounds, that they intend "to make the lambs dumb before the slaughter."

Acts 8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this,
        He was led as a sheep to the slaughter;
        and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

The Greek word KOMA is defined by the literature as "produced by musical sounds."

Feminists and the Effeminate fulfilled the warning of Paul and church history and use magic to get a ME ME ME revelation.

Marsha West: Not surprisingly, lectio divina is brought to us by the Roman Catholic magical mystical monks.  In a nutshell, the idea is to “turn your mind from outward things to the deep parts of your being,” while reading the Bible.  Supposedly, “You are not there to learn to read, but…to experience the presence of your Lord!”  Catholic mysticism, anyone?

it is Latin for “divine reading” and “is undertaken not with the intention of gaining information but of using the texts as an aid to contact the living God.”* It is popular among Catholics and Gnostics and has gained wide acceptance within the emerging church. In general, lectio divina is being promoted as a form of Bible study and is found within the unbiblical practice of spiritual formation.

This is a BURNABLE APOSTASY: First, Divina speaks of the Thesslian Witches who could even draw down the moon. No wonder that Scripture is repudiated: it is a strong delusion.  The Practice commanded was to READ LECTIONS

1Pet. 4:11 If any man speak,
        let him speak as the oracles of God;  [Direct Command]
        if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth:
        that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ,
        to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen

There is no reviewed Theologian or Clergy beyond SPEAKING that which is written for our learning, who does not prove that they are not Jesus-enabled to read BLACK text on BROWN paper. That is why they fabricate their own songs and sermons like the Pharisees in order to pick their purse.

Before reviewing Stephen D. Lawson's occupation of making the Finished Work of Jesus changed by the CONTINGENCY that, working with Lipscomb University, to wrestle peacable Church of Christ to taking the MARK OF THE BEAST.  The BEAST is Theiron which identifies those OF THE WORLD OR EARTH: They swoop in and introduce A New Style of Music and Satyric (sexual) Drama.

As related to the Historic Church of Christ, a tribulation of Biblical Proportions came just in time for the year 2000. This same assualt was made a hundred years ago and the historical sowing of discord just needed YOU to admit that Scripture COMMANDED instrumental music in worship. THEN  we will be in UNITY.

Proving my point about Theology being Purpose Driven to get everyone to impose INSTRUMENTAL WORSHIP PERFORMANCE, they will never find, in holy scripture, a single example of any one said to WORSHIP by preaching, listening, singing, playing an instrument, acting and PAY TO PLAY.

Walter.Brueggeman.Apostasy.at.Lipscomb.University.html

Walter Brueggemann: “those of US who think critically
        do not believe that the Old Testament
        was talking about Jesus,
        and yet we make the linkages

The prophets clearly identified a future Messiah who would liberate both Jew and Gentile by allowing it temple, sacrificial system and enslavement to monarch patterned after Babylon. I dont believe that there is a historic THINKING scholar who didn't validate Jesus Christ and His kingdom by both prophecy and fulfillment.  Jesus defined Holy Scripture as the PROPHETS and other prophecies CONCERNING ME.  Walter Brueggemann and the CHRIST and SCRIPTURE repudiators and Lipscomb confess that the WE just invented OUR rejecting of Scripture and History and ethics by claiming that A spirit rejecting all history BEFORE THEM.

Rich Atchley, the preacher of the Richland Hills Church of Christ in Dallas, Texas, made this completely unscriptural claim:
        "Right there at that spot about 1994 the Holy Spirit said to me in the middle of a sermon,
        'that's what you and all preachers like you are doing,
        who haven't for years believed that the worship of God with instruments was wrong.
        But you continue by your silence to let people think it's wrong.
        But you allow the people to be disrupted, and you do so under the plea,
        'Well, we're just maintaining peace.' But that's not peace; that's cowardice.
        I knew then the day would come I'd have to teach this lesson."     

It took about twelve years for this SPIRIT empowered Rick Atchley to lie about all of holy Scripture. There is not a single passage from God that associated worship of HIM with rhetoric, listening, singing, playing instruments, acting or pass the plate.  Rick Atchley confessed that his early influence came from the Christian Church.

The Austin Center Thesis:

Theological hermeneutics, then, is where ecclesially-formed,
        believing readers co-create meaning with the text

Clement Stromata 1 Chapter XII.-The Mysteries of the Faith Not to Be Divulged to All.

Wherefore the hearers are not permitted to apply the test of comparison.
Nor is the word, given for investigation, to be committed to those who have been reared in the arts of all kinds of words, and in the power of inflated attempts at proof; whose minds are already pre-occupied,

But whoever chooses to banquet on faith, is stedfast for the reception of the divine words, having acquired already faith as a power of judging, according to reason. Hence ensues to him persuasion in abundance. And this was the meaning of that saying of prophecy, "If ye believe not, neither shall ye understand." [ Isa. vii. 9.] [Citation]

1John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God
        hath the witness in himself:
        he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
        because he believeth not the RECORD that God gave of his Son.
1John 5:11 And this is the record,
        that God hath given to us eternal life,
        And this LIFE is in his Son.

The Glorified Jesus Christ exists in the STATE (never a person) of Holy Spirit. Theology exists because the concept is proof of Strong Delusions imposed on people who have marked themselves as OF THE WORLD. Any 'scholarly' work flooding the internet proves that they are unable to let Jesus speak whole paragraphs. Jesus says that they are from BENEATH or Tartarus and they DO (speak, sing, play) what they see with THEIR father.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them,
        saying, I am the LIGHT of the world:
        he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
        but shall have the light of life.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John 12:46 I am come a light into the world,
        that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

1John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God
        hath the witness in himself:
        he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
        because he believeth not the RECORD
        that God gave of his Son.
1John 5:11 And this is the record,
        that God hath given to us eternal life,
        And this LIFE is in his Son.

Jesus is still the only Teacher: only those who have been Washed with water INTO the Word or School of Christ can understand the simpliest text. Jesus said that the Father HIDES from the wise or Sophists which are religious speakers, singers, instrument players or actors.

John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man
        ascend up where he was before?
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
        the FLESH profiteth nothing:

Acts.17.25.God.Not.Worshipped.Mens.Hands.html

The WORDS that I SPEAK unto you,
        they are SPIRIT, and they are life.

John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not.
        For Jesus knew from the beginning
        who they were that believed not, [apistos: traitors,]
        and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you,
        that no man can come unto me,
        except it were GIVEN unto him of my Father.

Walter Brueggemann: “those of us who think critically
        do not believe that the Old Testament
        was talking about Jesus,
        and yet we make the linkages

Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things?
        We also are men of like passions with you,
        and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities
        unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, a
        and all things that are therein:
Acts 14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
Acts 14:17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness,
        in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons,
        filling our hearts with food and gladness.

People do by NATURE or by traditions which does not have to be controlled by a law. People refuse to COME TO THE LIGHT because they need to hide their conduct. Theologians refuse to let God be the Teacher by their on human nature which God's Word cannot touch,

John 6:45 It is written in the PROPHETS,
        And they shall be all taught BY God.
        Every man therefore that hath heard,
        and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

HERE IS THE CLAIM OF AUTHORITY TO FORCE YOU TO MOCK JESUS TO KEEP HIM SILENT DURING OUR NEW WORSHIP SERVICE:

Stephen Lawson That call by its nature is ahistorical;
        it discounts the DEVELOPMENT and transmission
        of Christian BELIEF and practice
        through CONTINGENT events and personalities
                across the centuries

THIS CONTINGENT  IMPERATIVE centered around the year 2000, Jubilee Y2K and the end of Moses' Day 6 has been UNIQUELY the demand that YOU must take the mark.  The other
CONTINGENCY Demanded calling Paul and Scripture liars.  All of Paul's silence reasons because Women-beginning with Eve and Miriah-was that truth began with them.

Thence they arise and go abroad by night, [10] veiled in thick mist, and utter their song with lovely voice, praising Zeus the aegis-holder, and queenly Hera of Argos who walks on golden sandals, and the daughter of Zeus the aegis-holder bright-eyed Athena, and Phoebus Apollo, and Artemis who delights in arrows,

This Arion was a lyre-player second to none in that age; he was the first man whom we know to compose and name the dithyramb¹ which he afterwards taught at Corinth.

NOTICE THE PRODUCT OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD. The new Covenant was the Last Will and Testament of God through Jesus Christ. No one is so profane that they would become a grand INDUSTRY attempting to nullify God's Covenant and the INHERITANCE of believers. Again, Jesus said that DISCIPLES continue in HIS WORD.

Is. 59:20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion,
        and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Is. 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD;
        My SPIRIT that is upon thee,
        and my WORDS which I have put in thy MOUTH,
        shall not depart out of thy mouth,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed,
        nor out of the mouth of thy seed’s seed,
        saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Steven Lawson says that is a lie: God's Holy Spirit could not have known about our CONTINGENCY imposed by SUPERIOR persons.

What David Bentley Hart said. However, Lipscomb's CONTINGENCY can dishonor God or man.

Christ and Nothing, David Bentley Hart
But we—while not ignoring how appalling such a condition is—should yet rejoice that modernity offers no religious comforts to those who would seek them. In this time of waiting, in this age marked only by the absence of faith in Christ,
it is well that the modern soul should lack repose, piety, peace, or nobility,
        and should find the world outside the Church
        barren of spiritual rapture or mystery,
        and should discover no beautiful or terrible or merciful gods
        upon which to cast itself.
With Christ came judgment into the world,
        a LIGHT of discrimination
        from which there is neither retreat nor sanctuary
And this means that, as a quite concrete historical condition,
        the only choice that remains
        for the children of post-Christian culture
            is not whom to serve,
            but whether to serve Him whom Christ has revealed
            or to serve nothing—the nothing.
No third way lies open for us now, because—as all of us now know, whether we acknowledge it consciously or not—
        all things have been made subject to Him,
        all the thrones and dominions of the high places
        have been put beneath His feet,
        until the very end of the world, and—simply said—
        there is no other god.

Stephen Lawson: In Thomas Campbell’s Declaration and Address, he wrote that “Nothing ought to be received into the faith or worship of the Church [Stephen''s omitted fact]???  that is not as old as the New Testament.”

That call by its nature is ahistorical;
        it discounts the DEVELOPMENT and transmission
        of Christian BELIEF and practice
        through CONTINGENT events and personalities
                across the centuries

Theology, by definition, is the APOLLYON (beast, 666) world order. Jesus doesn't pray for the WORLD, the Kosmos, the Ecumenical, the kingdom of Satan. As a MARK of those who rose up in Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted idolatry at Mount Sinai, God TURNED THEM OVER to homosexuality.  That is part of the LAW of Satan's kingom all around you.

Restoration by the Campbell's and John Calvin is to REMOVE all of those contingencies IMPOSED by someone.

James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,
        and continueth therein,
        he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work,
        this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James 2:12 So speak ye, and so do,
        as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

John 8:29 And he that sent me is with me:
        the Father hath not left me alone;
         for I DO always those things that PLEASE him.
John 8:30 As he spake these WORDS, many believed on him.
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
        IF ye continue in MY WORD,
        THEN are ye my disciples indeed;

Both implied and STATED EXPLICITLY, Neither God Almighty, Jesus His ONLY Teacher nor the Apostles delivered for our memory, the teachings of CHRIST.  However, there is NO historical Contingent nor super-personality which ever call God a liar.  When Stephen Lawson nominates PERSONS hearing Spirit Voices they come from the  INSTRUMENTAL SECTARIANS having infiltrated and REpurposed Churches of Christ congregations and even Universities.

Creation and Contingency
Contingency is a term that occurs in philosophical discourse as well as in theology in a number of contexts and with a number of meanings.
        In its modern sense the English term contingency
        refers to events, processes, or properties that may occur, but are not certain to occur;
                or that have, but might not have, occurred,
                because they depend on factors beyond our knowledge...
A consequence of the latter view seems to be that God cannot have sufficient fore-knowledge with regard to the process of creation so that God’s omniscience and omnipotence seem in danger. On the other hand, the option of total predestination faces the problem that in its view the Creator seems to be responsible for everything, including all evil.

Making this more of a BURNABLE offense, certain men trained in theology but ignorant of the thousands of scholars or of the Holy Scriptures.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you
        of the common salvation,
        it was needful for me to write unto you,

Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares,
        who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,
        ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,
        and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,
        though ye once knew this, how that the Lord,
        having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
        afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate,
        but left their own habitation,
        he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
        unto the judgment of the great day.
Jude 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha,
        and the cities about them in like manner,
        giving themselves over to fornication,
        and going after strange flesh,
        are set forth for an example,
        suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers
        defile the flesh, despise dominion,
        and speak evil of dignities.

The Stone-Campbell Movement LIE was created by Leroy Garrett after the final Sectarian Movement by more Conservative Christian Churches:
        1. Churches of Christ were never part of a Stone or any human movement.
        2. In 1906 Churches of Christ denied that they were property of the Disciples-Christian denomination.
        3. The NACC denomination was founded in 1927 after failing to lie, cheat and steal Churches of Christ.
        4. In 1968 the RESTRUCTURE of the Disciples of Christ caused the Christian Churches to become a seperate sect.
        5.  In 1971 the Disciples removed the NACC from their body count.
      6.  Leroy Garret, Thomas Olbricht and others were all primed to introduce a New Hermeneutic with the single purpose of Infiltrating and Diverting congregations and universities to the prophesied BABYLON MOTHER OF HARLOTS movement.

STONE-CAMPBELL MOVEMENT has no connection to Churches of Christ Stephen Lawson is hired to DESTROY. This was the PATTERN of the NACC or the Christian Churches Denomination.

Stephen Lawson: In his denunciation of the importing of Greek philosophical concepts into Christian theological reflection, the early Latin Christian writer
        Tertullian famously quipped,
“What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?” The title I have taken for this article is likely to elicit an analogous question from readers:

        What has historical theology to do with the Stone-Campbell Movement?

The Christian Church was DElisted by the Disciples of Christ in 1971.  They had begun the secting out in 1927 with the NACC.   The "conservative" Christian Churches needed warm bodies.  The began "unity meetings" in 1937-1938. Unity has always means You take the MARK (Theiron, beast, new style music and Satyric or perverted Drama). Then and now as again on the attack wrecking churches and CONFISCATING universities.

The pattern for the Ekklesia in the Wilderness never changed. In God's good time, the Jewish nation was destroyed. After Christ the synagogue (Paul's terms), the Church of Christ was made known.  The Pattern was always A School of Christ.  Only profane people would become experts in rewriting the product of the most evil person who lived.  Jesus continues to be the only one who permits the Scriptures to be read.  It is clear that no scholarly work produce in these last prophesied days can read BLACK text on BROWN Paper.  Otherwise they would know that THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT and He is still in charge.

On my best days the best I can muster is that the sudden and violent rise of THEOLOGY to replace Holy Scripture, is that they are proven to have to lie.

Barton W. Stone and the Disciples of Christ

J. F. Burnett in 1921 denies that Barton W. Stone joined the Disciples of Christ.

Sheryl D. Vanderstel 1836 Indiana Weekly worship for Christian Disciples was a simple matter. No liturgical form was followed. Worship consisted of sermons and prayers with additional hymn singing. The Lord's Supper was an important part of worship. Baptism followed the guidelines of Christ's own baptism, that of adult immersion. Membership in the faith did not require a conversion experience or any examination. One only had to adhere to the tenet of Christ as Savior and Scriptures as the only doctrine.

But even hymn singing during worship caused a problem for some who considered hymns to contain religious doctrine and thus deserving of being excluded from worship.

Campbell felt strongly about the use of hymns in worship and sought to override the objections by compiling a book containing hymn texts appropriate to the Scriptural basis of the faith. His work was simply titled Hymn Book .

AND: Hoosier singing master Silas W. Leonard, also an elder in the church, compiled a book of texts and music for use in Christian churches entitled the Christian Psalmist.

The first congregation in Indianapolis organized as a Campbellite church was the Church of Christ in Indianapolis. Evangelist John O'Kane organized the church in June of 1833.

It was this respect and devotion felt by westerners to the gentle and articulate Stone that in many ways facilitated the 1832 merger of the New Lights with the Campbellites. After the first meeting of the two groups at Stone's church in Georgetown, Kentucky in 1823, Stone often quoted Alexander Campbell in the Christian Messenger.
        Stone saw Alexander Campbell as a David destroying the Goliath of established churches and their doctrines.
        Campbell's theology grew from that of his father Thomas Campbell who had been a Presbyterian minister in Scotland. Throughout Alexander's childhood, Thomas withdrew more and more from the teachings of the Scots Presbyterians. A brilliant man with an equally gifted son, they immigrated to America and continued teaching and preaching their doctrine of anti-denominationalism. 

Churches of Christ do not IMPOSE human imagination by men who explicitly REPUDIATE God the Father and Jesus into whose MOUTH God put His WORD.   They deny Jesus as a plagiaristic for claiming that Holy Scripture is the "Prophecies Concerning Me."

Tertullian.The.Prescriptions.Against.Heretics.html

In a word, it means, "the RULE OF FAITH asserted against Heresies."
        And his practical point is,
        it is useless to discuss Scripture with convicted (Titus 3:10, 11.) heretics;
        every one of them is ready with "his psalm, his doctrine, his interpretation," 
        and you may argue fruitlessly till Doomsday.

But bring them to the test of (Quod Semper, etc.), the apostolic prµscription (1 Corinthians 11:16).-We have no such custom neither the Churches of God. State this RULE OF FAITH,
        viz. Holy Scripture, as interpreted from the apostolic day
         if it proves the doctrine or custom a novelty,
        then it has no foundation, and even if it be harmless,
                it cannot be innocently professed against the order and peace of the churches.

These are "the doctrines" of men and "of demons" produced for itching ears of the spirit of this world's wisdom: this the Lord called "foolishness," and "chose the foolish things of the world" to confound even philosophy itself.

For (philosophy) it is which is the material of the world's wisdom, the rash interpreter of the nature and the dispensation of God. Indeed heresies are themselves instigated by philosophy. From this source came the AEons, and I known not what infinite forms, and the trinity of man in the system of Valentinus, who was of Plato's school. From the same source came Marcion's better god, with all his tranquillity; he came of the Stoics. Then, again, the opinion that the soul dies is held by the Epicureans; while the denial of the restoration of the body is taken from the aggregate school of all the philosophers; also, when matter is made equal to God, then you have the teaching of Zeno; and when any doctrine is alleged touching a god of fire, then Heraclitus comes in. The same subject-matter is discussed over and over again by the heretics and the philosophers; the same arguments are involved. Whence comes evil? Why is it permitted? What is the origin of man? and in what way does he come? Besides the question which Valentinus has very lately proposed--Whence comes God? Which he settles with the answer: From enthymesis and ectroma. Unhappy Aristotle! who invented for these men dialectics, the art of building up and pulling down; an art so evasive in its propositions, so far-fetched in its conjectures, so harsh, in its arguments, so productive of contentions--embarrassing even to itself, retracting everything, and really treating of nothing! Whence spring those "fables and endless genealogies," and "unprofitable questions," and "words which spread like a cancer?"

Stephen Lawson:  To be sure, the clarion call of the founders of the Stone-Campbell Movement2
        to “restore” the NT church was a call to overcome historical contingency,

Stephen Lawson means that Holy Scripture must be interpreted by THEM based on the need of the moment.  Of course that Blasphemes God.

        essentially bypassing centuries of theological and ecclesial development
                in order to encounter the pristine church
                before it was besmirched in its historical development.

http://www.pineycom.com/A.Restoration.of.the.Ancient.Order.of.Things.Alexander.Campbell.html

Those reformers are not most deserving of our thanks who stand highest and most celebrated in the annals of reformations. We owe more to John Wickliffe than to Martin Luther, and more, perhaps, to Peter Bruys than to John Calvin

The reformations most celebrated in the world are those which have departed the least from the systems they professed to reform.--Hence, we have been often told that there is but a paper wall between England and Rome.

The church of England, with king Henry or George IV. as her head,
        though a celebrated reformation,
        has made but a few and very short strides from her mother,
        the church of Rome, with the pope at her head.
So sensible of this are the good members of the reformed church of England, that they yet give to their king the title of "Defender of the Faith," although the title was first given him by the pope for defending his faith.

The reformation of the church of England, effected by Mr. Wesley,
        which issued in Episcopal Methodism,
        has entailed the same clerical dominion over that zealous people,
        which their forefathers complained of in the hierarchies of England and Rome.
And not in England only does this dominion exist, but even in these United States, of all regions of the earth the most unfriendly to a religious monarchy, or even a religious oligarchy.

A restoration of the ancient order of things
        is all that is necessary to the happiness and usefulness of christians.
        No attempt "to reform the doctrine, discipline and government of the church,"
        (a phrase too long in use,) can promise a better result than those
        which have been attempted and languished to death.

Alexander Hislop - Against Instrumental Music

AGAINST THE VOTE OF THE CHURCH:

As a matter of historical fact, this principle was never agreed to by the Convocation that adopted the Thirty-nine Articles;

this sentence being found neither in the first-printed edition of the Articles, nor in the draft of them that passed the Convocation, and which is still in existence, with the autograph signatures of the members;

but is believed to have been surreptitiously inserted by the hand of Queen Elizabeth herself, who had much of the overbearing spirit of her father, Henry VIII., and who, as Head of the Church, which the English Constitution made her, was determined to have a pompous worship in that church, under her ecclesiastical control. [1]

With the abrogation of the "worldly sanctuary," the instrumental music, which, as much as the offering of sacrifice, was identified with it, and which was not used in the service of the synagogue, was equally abrogated.

So certain is it that the instrumental music of Judaism was identified with the Temple service, that the Jews themselves have, ever since the destruction of the Temple, till very recently,

held it utterly unlawful to introduce such music into their synagogues; and when, about the beginning of the present century, an organ was, for the first time, introduced, nothing but the influential position of the individual concerned in its introduction, saved him from being summarily excommunicated. [3]

Stephen Lawson: In Thomas Campbell’s Declaration and Address, he wrote that “Nothing ought to be received into the faith or worship of the Church [omitted motive]  that is not as old as the New Testament.”

THAT WAS THE DIRECT COMMAND OF JESUS CHRIST:

Matt. 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
        All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
        baptizing them in the name [SINGULAR] of the Father, and of the Son,
        and of the Holy Ghost:
Matt. 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things
        whatsoever I have commanded you:
        and, lo, I am with you alway,
        even unto the end of the world [messianic age]. Amen.

Historical or Narrative or Contingency Theology has already claimed tha the MAN Jesus of Nazareth 

       That with respect to the commands and ordinances  
                of our Lord Jesus Christ,
                where the scriptures are SILENT,
                as to the express time or manner of performance,
                if any such there be ;

NO HUMAN AUTHORITY HAS POWER TO INTERFERE
        in order to  SUPPLY the supposed deficiency,
        by making laws FOR the church ;

NOR can any thing more be REQUIRED of Christians in such cases,
        but only that they so observe these commands and ordinances,
        as will evidently answer the declared and obvious end of their institution.

Much less has any human authority power to IMPOSE
        NEW commands or ordinances upon the church,
        which our Lord Jesus Christ has not enjoined.

Nothing ought to be received into the faith or worship of the church ;
        or be MADE A TERM OF COMMUNION AMONGST CHRISTIANS
        that is not as old as the New Testament.

Stephen Lawson:  In Thomas Campbell’s Declaration and Address, he wrote that “Nothing ought to be received into the faith or worship of the Church [or be MADE A TERM OF COMMUNION AMONGST CHRISTIANS]. . . that is not as old as the New Testament.”3

"A Declaration and address of the Christian Association of Washington, Pa.,

 in which he proclaimed eternal enmity to 'All human authority in matters of religion,' and declared that he would require nothing of others for which he could not find a 'Thus saith the Lord,' either in express terms or by approved precedent."

That call by its nature is ahistorical;
        it discounts the development and transmission of Christian
                BELIEF and practice through contingent events and personalities
                across the centuries

V.    That this society, formed for the sole purpose of promoting simple evangelical Christianity, shall, to the utmost of its power, countenance and support such ministers, and such only, as exhibit a manifest conformity to the original standard in conversation and doctrine, in zeal and diligence;—
        only such as reduce to practice
        that simple original form of Christianity,
        expressly exhibited upon the sacred page;
        without attempting to inculcate anything of human authority,
        of private opinion, or inventions of men,

as having any place in the constitution, faith, or worship, of the Christian church—or' any thing, as matter of Christian faith, or duty, for which there can not be expressly produced a thus saith the Lord either in express terms, or by approved precedent.

and rather embraces a romantic, idealistic vision of an immaculate original Christianity.

Dearly beloved brethren, why should we deem it a thing incredible that the church of Christ, in this highly favored country, should resume that original unity, peace and purity, which belongs to its constitution, and constitutes its glory?
        Or, is there any thing that can be justly deemed necessary
        for this desirable purpose,
        but to conform to the model,
        and adopt the practice of the primitive church,
        expressly exhibited in the New Testament.

Whatever alterations this might produce in any or all of the churches, should, we think, neither be deemed inadmissible nor ineligible.

Surely such alteration would be every way for the better, and not for the worse ;
            UNLESS we should suppose the divinely inspired rule to be faulty, or defective.

Were we, then, in our church constitution and managements, to exhibit a complete conformity to the Aposto-lick church, would we not be in that respect, as perfect as Christ intended we should be? And should not this suffice us?

1Cor. 12:28 And God hath set some in the church,
        first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers,
        after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

Notice that there need be no more than ONE person in a location with a supernatural power to "teach that which had been revealed."

1Cor. 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Edudated by] the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
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:
Rev. 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.

What a pity, that the kingdom of God should be divided about such things! ! Who then, would not be the first amongst us, to give up with human inventions in the worship of God j and to cease from imposing his private opinions upon his brethren : that our breaches might thus be healed? Who would not willingly conform to the original pattern laid down in the New Testament, for this happy purpose? Our dear brethren, of all denominations, will please to consider, that we have our educational prejudices, and particular customs to struggle with as well as they. But this we do sincerely declare, that there is nothing we have hitherto received as matter of faith or practice, which is not expressly taught and enjoined in the word of God, either in express terms, or approved precedent, that we would not heartily relinquish, that so we might return to the origp-

nal constitutional unity of the Christian church

Moreover, as Curtis Freeman notes in his recent volume Contesting Catholicity,
        this ahistorical vision of the early Restorationists
        was not infrequently understood as anti-historical,
               justifying its ignoring of the vast majority of Christian history
               by embracing a narrative the
                  “regarded the church from the fourth to the sixteenth century
                    to be degenerate and apostate.”4

John Calvin's Restoration of the Church of Christ proposed all of the baggage added by clergy usually to enhance their Purgatory Plot.  Calvin, like Scripture and the Campbell's saw the assembly as educational.  Calvin removed the Catholic organ music for two reasons.
        1. The pattern was to SPEAK that which was written for our learning.
        2.  From Calvin's Number 10 definition of the Church in the Wilderness or Synagogue understood that the trumpet was for calling the assembly ONLY.  That was to be a SIGN and not instrumental music which was impossible in the "tuneful" sense."

No clergy of the time would be ignorant of the Historical Scholars.  Alexander Campbell taught his children Latin without which it would be impossible to understand man of the historical scholars.  There is no HISTORICAL Vision which did not defend Holy Scripture as the ONLY source for the Christian School.
