Nothing is more proof of inspiration than Luke who said that Doctors of the Law Take away the key to KNOWLEDGE. If you understand Genesis, the year 2000 as the Rubel Shelly and the Pope's Jubilee Y2K, saw a historic, sudden and quite violent, Documented Plot to RESTRUCTURE Churches of Christ. That involved hiring Conflict Resolvers to Purpose resolving CONFLICT by Turning Against the Historic AND Biblical Churches of Christ which fed their face.
Suddenly only those with the ticket to BUY AND SELL and pretend Church Councils, had repudiated the Biblical and Historical Church of Christ. It felt the need to MOCK Churches of Christ for not added so-called Instrumental Music. Bible readers know that the BEASTS are the Locusts or MUSIC GIRLS led by Apollyon the prophesied SPIRITUS of the end time.
In all of Paul's silencing everyone but the READER, women were silenced because they always believed that TRUTH BEGAN WITH THEM. Nothing could be more tragic to see women DOMINATING because no one dares question their claim to FLITTER above Holy Scripture and somehow get the truth by treading the SERPENT'S SPIRIT which they fool people by calling it a Labyringh.

CONTINGENT THEOLOGY means that Stephen Lawson, John York, Keith Stanglin etal deny that God is omniscient or omnipotent, nor that He put His WORD into the MOUTH of Moses, Elijah and the MAN Jesus of Nazareth for the last time.
TRUTH means what Keith Stanglin and all theologians CO-INSPIRE for the ME TIME because the Almighty could not possibly know what a Phd at Lipscomb could provide--for a price.
The Clear Prophecy and Time is defined for the APOLLYON and the Locusts (muses) Dispensation in Revelation 17-18. Because a Disciple of Christ "continues in my word" they will know that the BEAST or Therion identifies A New Style of Worship by the Muses and Satyric or gender-confused drama.
Stephen Lawson andJOHN MARK HICKS: Irenaeus knew that everyone reads the text
against the background of a hypothesis, which norms what the text
can mean or gives boundaries to the meaning of a text.
This is Scripture’s sacramental function within the liturgical life of the church.
This quite literally in published documents that neither Father nor Son could inspire people to document His mind or spirit. Stephen Lawson denies that God could not foresee OUR culture and wishes. Therefore, His documents are CONTINGENT which means that God had lost the right to inform His creatures by the time the document arrived at another location.
The REAL Irenaeus.Demonstration.of.Apostolic.Preaching.html
But, since at this present time we are parted from one another in the body, yet according to our power
we will not fail to speak with you a little by writing,
and to show forth in brief the preaching of the truth for the confirmation of your faith.2
We send you as it were a MANUEL of essentials,3 that by little you may attain to much,
For one is the way leading upwards for all who see,
learning in short space all the members of the body of the truth,
and receiving in brief the |70 demonstration of the things of God.
So shall it be fruitful to your own salvation, and you shall put to shame all who inculcate falsehood,
and bring with all confidence our sound and pure teaching to everyone who desires to understand it.
lightened with heavenly light:
but many and dark and contrary are the ways of them that see not.
2. Now, since man is a living being compounded of soul and flesh, he must needs exist by both of these: and, whereas from both of them offences come, purity of the flesh is the restraining abstinence from all shameful things and all unrighteous deeds,
This way leads to the kingdom of heaven, uniting man to God:
but those ways bring down to death, separating man from God.
Wherefore it is needful for you and for all who care for their own salvation
to make your course unswerving, firm and sure by means of faith,
that you falter not, nor be retarded and detained in material desires,
nor turn aside and wander from the right.
and purity of the soul is the KEEPING FAITH towards God entire,
neither adding thereto nor diminishing therefrom.
For godliness is obscured and dulled by the soiling and the staining of the flesh, and is broken and polluted and no more entire, if falsehood enter into the soul: but it will keep itself in its. beauty and its measure, when truth is constant in the soul4 and purity in the flesh.
98. This, beloved, is the preaching of the truth,
and this is the manner of our redemption, and this is the way of life,
which the prophets proclaimed,
and Christ established,
and the apostles delivered,
and the Church in all the world hands on to her children.
This must we keep with all certainty, with a sound will and pleasing to God,
with good works and right-willed disposition.
3. Now, that we may not suffer ought of this kind, we must needs hold
the RULE OF THE FAITH without deviation,7
and DO the commandments of God,
believing in God and fearing Him as Lord and loving Him as Father.
99. So that none should imagine God the Father to be other than our Creator, as the heretics imagine;
(for) they despise the God who is, and make gods of that which is not;
and they fashion a Father of their own above our Creator,
and imagine that they have found out for themselves
something greater than the truth. For all these are impious and blasphemers against their Creator
and against the Father, as we have shown in the Exposure and Overthrow of Knowledge falsely so-called.
And others again reject the coming of the Son of God and the dispensation of His incarnation,
which the apostles delivered and the prophets declared beforehand,
even such as should be the summing up of mankind, as we have shown you in brief:
and such also are reckoned amongst those who are lacking in faith.
And others receive not the gifts of the Holy Spirit,
and cast away from |151 themselves the prophetic grace,
watered whereby man bears the fruit of life unto God:
and these are they of whom Isaiah speaks:
The demonstrated fact in posted rebuttals beginning in 1997, is that the New Hermeneutic or various forms of Theology have the purpose of rejecting each and every faith or practice by the Historical Church of Christ. Their new PATTERN is forced to deny that all of the clear SCRIPTURAL PRACTICES, recorded and belieived for 2,000 years have SUDDENLY proven that Holy Spirit which means that "God puts His WORD into the MOUTH of Moses, Elijah and the MAN Jesus for the LAST TIME."
BOASTING OF TEACHING YOUR YOUTH TO LEAVE THEIR MOVEMENT FOR TEN YEARS (Rick Atchley) the Machavelli plot was to intimidate everyone for DARING to question anyone who claims that THEIR teaching came by visions (Lucado) or hearing audible voices (Rick Atchley right there in the pulpit).

Scribes would be at any place or public event. They were journalists. They had copiests make copies of an public speech and sell them before the crowd dispersed. Any copy could be a lectio-Divina or the "oracles of God" Whose Spirit enabled the Man Jesus:
John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you:
but he that sent me is true;
and I SPEAK to the world those things
which I have HEARD of him.
John 8:27 They understood not that he SPAKE to them of the Father.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them,
When ye have lifted up the Son of man,
then shall ye know that I am he,
and that I do nothing of myself;
but as my Father hath taught me,
I SPEAK these things.
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;John 8:37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed;John Mark Hicks explaining Keith Stanglin:
but ye seek to kill me, because my WORD hath NO place in you.

John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;

Theological hermeneutics, then, is where ecclesially-formed,
believing readers co-create meaning with the text
(1) within liturgical life of the church,
Hermeneutics in Greek permits ONLY translation or explanation of something: it never gives a Christian the right to lie about the Word. Hermeneutics after Hermes the pagan LOGOS as a GOD. As antithesis God used LOGOS to mean His Regulative and Governing principle

(3) the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit.
Hermēs; Dor. Hermas). The son of Zeus and of the Naiad Maia, daughter of Atlas. Immediately after his birth upon the Arcadian mountain of Cyllené, he gave proof of his chief characteristics—inventiveness and versatility, united with fascination, trickery, and cunning. Born in the morning, by mid-day he had invented the lyre; in the evening he stole fifty head of cattle from his brother Apollon, which he hid so skilfully in a cave that they could not be found. After these exploits he lay down quietly in his cradle.
Apollo undlerstood that he had been lied to: Hermes gave APOLLO or APOLLYON the Lyre and Apollo gave Hermes a flute. Apollyon always carried his BOW and his LYRE. He seduced both male and female with his lyre to shoot Love Arrows. When anyone refused Apollyon's advance he plucked the bow string (psallo) to make it twang to send forth a singing arrow into the literal heart.

"From the prophet even unto the priest, every one dealeth falsely." Again, "The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them," (Jer. 6: 13; 14: 14.)
And not to be prolix with quotations, read the whole of his thirty-third and fortieth chapters. Then, on the other hand, Ezekiel inveighs against them in no milder terms.
"There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls."
"Her priests have violated my law, and profaned mine holy things," (Ezek. 22: 25, 26.) There is more to the same purpose. Similar complaints abound throughout the prophets; nothing is of more frequent recurrence.

The REAL Irenaeus.The.Rule.of.Faith.html1. The temper and error of the Libertines, who take to themselves the name of spiritual, briefly described. Their refutation.
(a). The Apostles and all true Christians have embraced the written Word. This confirmed by a passage in Isaiah; also by the example and words of Paul.
(b). The Spirit OF Christ seals the doctrine of the written Word on the minds of the godly.(2) Refutation continued.
a) The impositions of Satan cannot be detected without the aid of the written Word. First Objection. The Answer to it.
3. Second Objection from the words of Paul as to the letter and spirit. The Answer, with an explanation of Paul's meaning. How the Spirit and the written Word are indissolubly connected.
1.The fanatics wrongly appeal to the Holy Spirit
Those who, rejecting Scripture, imagine that they have some peculiar way of penetrating to God, are to be deemed not so much under the influence of error as madness. For certain giddy men have lately appeared, who, while they make a great display of the superiority of the Spirit,
3. Now, that we may not suffer ought of this kind, we must needs hold
Now this doing is produced |72 by faith: for Isaiah says:
the RULE OF FAITH without deviation
and do the commandments of God,
believing in God and fearing Him as Lord and loving Him as Father.
If ye believe not, neither shall ye understand.
Since then faith is the perpetuation of our salvation,
we must needs bestow much pains on the maintenance thereof,
in order that we may have a true comprehension of the things that are.
Now faith occasions this for us; even as
the Elders, the disciples of the Apostles, have handed down to us.
First of all it bids us bear in mind that we have received baptism for the remission of sins, in the name of God the Father, and in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who was incarnate and died and rose again, and in the Holy Spirit of God. And that this baptism is the seal of eternal life, and is the new birth unto God,
that we should no longer be the sons of mortal men,
but of the eternal and perpetual God;
and that what is everlasting and continuing is made God; and is over all things that are made,
and all things are put under Him; and all the things that are put under Him are made His own;
for God is not ruler and Lord over the things of another,
but over His own; and all things are God's;
and therefore God is Almighty, and all things are of God.
5. Thus then there is shown forth 14 One God, the Father, not made, invisible, creator of all things; above whom there is no other God, and after whom there is no other God.15
And, since God is rational, |74 therefore by (the) Word He created the things that were made;16
and God IS Spirit, and by (the) Spirit He adorned all things: as also the prophet says:
By the WORD of the Lord were the heavens established, and by his spirit all their power.17 Since then the WORD establishes, that is to say, gives body 18 and grants the reality of being, and the Spirit gives order and form to the diversity of the powers;
rightly and fittingly is the WORD called the Son,
and the Spirit the Wisdom of God. Well also does Paul His apostle say:
One God, the Father, who is over all and through all and in us all.19 For over all is the Father; and through all is the Son, for through Him all things were made by the Father; and in us all is the Spirit, who cries Abba Father,20 and fashions man into the likeness of God.4
Now the Spirit shows forth the Word,
and therefore the prophets announced the Son of God;
and the Word utters the Spirit,
and therefore is Himself the announcer of the prophets,
and leads and draws man to the Father.

Now, with regard to this RULE OF FAITH without-that we may from this point 145 acknowledge what it is which we defend-it is,
you must know, that which prescribes
the belief that there is one only God,
and that He is none other than the Creator of the world,
Who produced all things out of nothing through His own Word, first of all sent forth; 146
that this Word is called His Son,
and, under the name of God,
was seen "in diverse manners" by the patriarchs,
heard at all times in the prophets,
at last brought down by the Spirit and Power of the Father into the Virgin Mary,
was made flesh in her womb, and, being born of her,

of what substance soever He is man and God, [John 10 reference to Eloyhim, not JEHOVAH]
of what faith soever He is the, teacher,
of what reward soever He is the Promiser, did, whilst He lived on earth,

what the Father's will was which He was administering,
what the duty of man was which He was prescribing; (and this declaration He made, )

and whom He destined to be the teachers of the nations.Chapter XXI.-All Doctrine True Which Comes Through the Church from the Apostles,
Who Were Taught by God Through Christ.
All Opinion Which Has No Such Divine Origin and Apostolic Tradition to Show, is Ipso Facto False.From this, therefore, do we draw up our RULE.

In a word, it means, "the RULE OF FAITH without 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 prescription (1 Corinthians 11:16).-
We have no such custom neither the Churches of God.

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.STEPHEN LAWSON AS PROOF THAT YOU CANNOT READ BLACK TEXT ON BROWN PAPER.

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 AFFIRMS BELOW WHAT ALL RECORDED HISTORY BEFORE THE SCM ASSAULT ON THE HISTORIC AND SCRIPTURE-FOUNDED CHURCH OF CHRIST SAYS of Thomas Campbell:

But Lipscomb Theologians go well beyond redemption by saying that God Almighty did not have in mind and was capable of delivering His MIND or SPIRIT and repudiating ALL other religions.
Their "god" could not have known that A spirit would cause people to sow massive discord, lie, cheat and steal, because the YOUNG PEOPLE GET BORED BY SCRIPTURE. Bless their heart, God knew that only the Lost Spirits or called Sons FROM God desired and DARED Speak the WORD to be despised by the WORLD. The WORLD or Kosmos is defined as the ECUMENICAL or the Kingdom of Satan making war against the Kingdom of God. Scripture and Strabo knew that the LAWS govering them was SOPHIA devoted to musical performance and pederasty (common to all historical religions).
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.
contingency: a future event or circumstance which is possible but cannot be predicted with certainty.a detailed contract that attempts to provide for all possible contingenciesIn philosophy and logic, contingency is the status of propositions that are neither true under every possible valuation (i.e. tautologies) nor false under every possible valuation (i.e. contradictions). A contingent proposition is neither necessarily true nor necessarily false.
HOWEVER The relationship of the Creator to His creation is not like that of an artist to His work.
The created order would disintegrate and vanish upon the withdrawal of the Divine presence.
"In Him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).
"In Him all things hold together" (Col. 1:17).
"He upholds all things by the WORD of His power" (Hebrews 1:3).
Creation would not exist autonomously and independently from God, apart from His sustaining providence, maintaining power and sovereign control. This is known as the "general immanence" of God in His creation. The "particular immanence" of God in His creation is the indwelling of Christ in the Christian.
Science seems to be at the forefront of explaining the "relatedness" and "relativity" of the created order upon God. Religion, on the other hand, is running in circles trying to be socially "relevant" to the world.
Rather than trying to relate the ecclesiastical institution and its practices to the fallen world,
Christians should be at the forefront of interpreting the newest scientific observations
of how God in Jesus Christ relates to everything in the world,
and all the world is contingent and dependent upon God. More specifically Christian theology must consistently explain the contingent relation of the Christian "new creature" upon Christ for all Christian living.

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.
Barton W. Stone and the Disciples of Christ
J. F. Burnett in 1921 denies that Barton W. Stone joined the Disciples of Christ.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."
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?
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.
"See that no one beguile you through philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men,
and contrary to the wisdom of the Holy Ghost." 77
He [Paul] had been at Athens,
and had in his interviews (with its philosophers)
become acquainted with that human wisdom
which pretends to know the truth,
whilst it only corrupts it,
and is itself divided into its own manifold heresies,
by the variety of its mutually repugnant sects.
God HIDES from the Wise or Sophists.

the other class, while holding the same opinions as the former,
yet being specially “gifted by nature'' and being full of craft and guile,
is the class out of which are manufactured many diviners and experts in all manner of jugglery;

Stephen Lawson What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem?
What concord is there between the Academy and the Church?
what between heretics and ChristianThe REAL Tertullian: Our instruction comes from "the porch of Solomon," 78 who had himself taught that "the Lord should be sought in simplicity of heart." 79 Away with 80 all attempts to produce a mottled Christianity of Stoic, Platonic, and dialectic composition! We want no curious disputation after possessing Christ Jesus, no inquisition after enjoying the gospel! With our faith, we desire no further belief. For this isour palmary faith, that there is nothing which we ought to believe besides.

ANSWER: The Stone-Only Movement as perverted IS HISTORICAL THEOLOGY. Unfortunally and a Burnable Offense. Neither Barton Stone, Alexander Campbell or any enlightened reformer would dare accuse God of ignorant or unable to comprehend the hallucinations of THEOLOGY which is a word marking APOLLYON and his adulterous Locusts or his guiding SPIRITUS and Worship Team. Jude PROPHESIED but APOLLYON caused it:

Jude 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance,

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,
HAD the founder of the Christian faith been defective in wisdom or benevolence,
then his authority, his testimony, and his commandments,
might be canvassed with as little ceremony as the discoveries and maxims
of our compeers and contemporaries
then his religion might be improved,
or reformed, or better adapted to existing circumstances.
But as all christians admit that he foresaw and anticipated
all the events and revolutions in human history,
and that the present state of things was as present to his mind
as the circumstances that encompassed him in Judea,
or in the judgment hall of Caiaphas;
that he had wisdom and understanding perfectly adequate to institute,
arrange, and adapt a system of things,
suitable to all exigencies and emergencies of men and things,
and that his philanthropy was not only unparalleled in the annals of the world,
but absolutely perfect, and necessarily leading to,
and resulting in, that institution of religion
which was most beneficial to man in the present and future world.
I say all these things being generally,
if not universally agreed upon by all christians,
then it follows, by the plainest and most certain consequence,
that the institution of which he is the author and founder,
can never be improved or reformed.
The lives or conduct of his disciples may be reformed, but his religion cannot.
The religion of Rome, or of England, or of Scotland may be reformed, but the religion of Jesus Christ never can. When we have found ourselves out of the way we may seek for the ancient paths, but we are not at liberty to invent paths for our own feet. We should return to the Lord.
But the abstract and metaphysical dogmas of the best creeds now extant, are the most difficult of apprehension and comprehension.
Dogma Sample 5. "Although in relation to the knowledge and decree of God, the first cause,
all things come to pass immutably and infallibly;
yet, by the same providence, he orders them to fall out
according to the nature of second causes,
either necessarily, freely, or contingently."Stephen Lawson means that Holy Scripture must be interpreted by THEM based on the need of the moment. Of course that Blasphemes God.
Stephen Lawson Campbell: essentially bypassing centuries of theological and ecclesial development
in order to encounter the pristine church
before it was besmirched in its historical development.
That's false and foolish: All Restoration was to the Gospel OF the kingdom or the Church of Christ. There is no example of men using the congregations of that time. The Holy Scriptures based on ALL Church Fathers is delivered "once for all." The succession of Bishops meant that new Bishops were given the task of not letting any thing slip into the widely-distributed documents.
Not even the Pople CHANGES Scripture: He simply gives himsellf the authority to do a LAWSON sidestep.
There is no historical Scholar who was so reckless as to deny the Apostles and Propphets as the foundation of a religious organizati.
Clement of Alexandria c. ad 190
Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God; that is, what you are commanded to do by the rule of faith (Miscellanies IV:15)
All things are right," says the Scripture, "to those who understand." That is, those who receive and observe, according to the rule of the Church, the exposition of the Scripture explained by [Christ]. And the rule of the Church is is the concord and harmony of the Law and the Prophets in the covenant delivered at the coming of the Lord. (Miscellanies VI:15)
Further, Isaiah the prophet is ordered to take a new book and write in it certain things. The Spirit of God was prophesying that through the Scriptures there would later come the sacred knowledge, which was at that time still unwritten, because it was not yet known. For it was spoken in the beginning only to those who understand. Now it has been handed down to us that the Saviour taught the apostles the unwritten rendering of the written Scriptures, inscribed by the power of God on new hearts, as the new book indicates. (Miscellanies VI:15)
A.Restoration.of.the.Ancient.Order.of.Things.Alexander.Campbell.html
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.”
THE TRUTH ABUT PREVIOUS REFORMERS
Much less has any [16] 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 among Christians,
that is not as old as the New Testament.
That the fact should be acknowledged and lamented, that VERY MUCH IS WANTING TO BRING THE CHRISTIANITY AND THE CHURCH OF THE PRESENT DAY UP TO THE NEW TESTAMENT STANDARD amongst a people so intelligent, so respectable in numbers, and so influential, as the Baptist society in Kentucky; and that leaders of that community, so erudite, so pious, and so influential, should call upon their brethren to lay these things to heart, and to prepare themselves to make an effort towards reform, we hail as a most auspicious event.
The New Testament is a COVENANT and A Last Will and Testament. The confirmation by Jesus was to MAKE MORE PERFECT what He defined as Holy Scripture the PROPHETS and PROPHECIES Concerning Me. No one would be so DEPRAVED that they would attempt to CHANGE the Will of a beloved relative.
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,
The reformation of the church of England, effected by Mr. Wesley,
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.
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.THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DECLARATION AND ADDRESS
Most Churches of Christ are based on Directt evidence in the PROPHETS and recorded by the APOSTLES.
2. That although the Church of Christ upon earth must necessarily exist in particular and distinct societies, locally separate one from another, yet there ought to be no schisms, no uncharitable divisions among them. They ought to receive each other as Christ Jesus hath also received them, to the glory of God. And for this purpose they ought all to walk by the same rule, to mind and speak the same thing; and to be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
3. That in order to this, nothing ought to be inculcated upon Christians as articles of faith; nor required of them as terms of communion, but what is expressly taught and enjoined upon them in the word of God. Nor ought anything to be admitted, as of Divine obligation, in their Church constitution and managements, (John Locke LT)
but what is expressly enjoined by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ and his apostles upon the New Testament Church; either in express terms or by approved precedent.
John Locke 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; (Thomas Campbell D&A compare with John Locke)
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.
5 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 TestamentTHAT 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.
THAT WAS THE COMMAND, EXAMPLE AND INFERENCE BY PAUL
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,

In fact, from Bible 101a we learned that there is no Scripture which says that anyone WORSHIPS by preaching, listening, singing, playing instruments, acting (all gender traps) or PAY TOPLAY.

Gen. 8:21 And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Speaking of the mystics, Armstrong showed how the new, gender-neutral gods are to be worshipped:Lynn Anderson: The mind-set of the times threatens to strip our faith of symbols, rituals, dramas, mystery, poetry, and story,which say about life and God what logic and reason and rationalism can never say. S
- "This God is to be approached through the imagination and can be seen as a kind of art form, akin to the other great artistic symbols that have expressed the ineffable mystery, beauty and the value of life.
- Mystics have used music, dancing, poetry, fiction, stories, painting, sculpture and architecture to express this Reality which goes beyond concepts." (P. 396)

David Hunt, in his two books, The Seduction of Christianity (1985) and Beyond Seduction (1987), first chronicled the influence of Carl Jung's ideas in the modern church. He wrote of Agnes Sanford whose visualization techniques are founded in
shamanistic practices of the occult and
who expressed pantheistic beliefs similar to those held by Carl Jung.
The Vineyard Christian Fellowships, headed by John Wimber, are heavily involved in the use of imagination, visualization, and inner healing. There has been criticism that to a large extent allowing God to "guide the imagination" has been placed on a level equal to the authority of the Bible, which has created a great deal of confusion. David Hunt, (p. 174 Seduction of Christianity
Stephen Lawson: and rather embraces a romantic, idealistic vision of an immaculate original Christianity.
That is totally false. Imagination can move one toward BURNING along with the Sorcers as any Religious Craftperson, singer, instrument player actor or PAY TO PLAY. The Assembly of Christ was defined with SYNAGOGUE type words and was a School of Christ (the Campbells and Scripture) and worship was READING and musing the WORD.
The Reign of Messiah
Moreover, being well aware, from sad experience, of the heinous nature and pernicious tendency of religious controversy among Christians;
tired and sick of the bitter jarrings and janglings of a party spirit, we would desire to be at rest;
and, were it possible, we would also desire to adopt and recommend such measures as would give rest to our brethren throughout all the Churches: as would restore unity, peace, and purity to the whole Church of God.This desirable rest, however, we utterly despair either to find for ourselves, or to be able to recommend to our brethren,
by continuing amid the diversity and rancor of party contentions, the veering uncertainty and clashings of human opinions:
nor, indeed, can we reasonably expect to find it anywhere but in Christ and his simple WORD, which is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.
Our desire, therefore, for ourselves and our brethren would be, that, rejecting human opinions and the [3] inventions of men as of any authority, or as having any place in the Church of God, we might forever cease from further contentions about such things; returning to and holding fast by the original standard;
- taking the Divine word alone for our rule;
that, by so doing, we may be at peace among ourselves, follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.the Holy Spirit for our teacher and guide, to lead us into all truth; and Christ alone, as exhibited in the word, for our salvation;
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?
Stephen Lawson: 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
Alexander Campbell grew up in the DOGMA which imposed the Jewish Monarchy into its pattern of govering and worshiping. Secondly, Campbell was so cultified that he believed that SCRIPTURE was not to be consulted in the organization and worship of the Church. When he grasped that the Scripture's version of God's Authority was important, the first thing that he wanted to do was to be BAPTIZED for or in order to the remission of sins.
John Calvin Necessity of Reforming-Restoring The Church of Christ
Number One
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.

Hence
have arisen the Trinitarian, Arian, Semiarian,
Sabellian, Unitarian, and Socinian hypotheses.
Here, we presume, there is no
greater latitude assumed, or allowed, on either side,
than the law expressly determines. But we
would humbly ask, if a professed agreement in the
terms of any standard be not liable to the very
same objection? If, for instance, Arians, Socinians,
Arminians, Calvinists, Antinomians,
&c. &c. might not all
subscribe the Westminster Confession, the
Athenasian Creed, or the doctrinal
articles
of the
Church of England.
If this be denied,
we appeal to historical facts ; and, in the
mean time, venture to assert, that such things are,
and have been done. Or will any say, that a
person might not with equal ease, honesty,
and consistency, be an Arian, or a Socinian, in
his heart, while subscribing the Westminster
Confession, or the Athenasian Creed,
