YOU SHOULD
UNDERSTAND THAT I AM POSTING THE NEW HERMENEUTIC
CONNECTED WITH CHURCHES OF CHRIST. Walter.Brueggeman.Apostasy.at.Lipscomb.University.html
This prophesied
end-time Great Apostasy and TRIBULATION is defined
in great detail. One fulfillment is the
foreordained right or duty is to "infiltrate
and convert your congregation for their own use."
This has happened all over the country including
universities. The documented comment is to "GET OVER
IT OR GET OUT."
THE BEAST (THERION) is a sudden new style of music
and satyric (perverted) drama. The New HermeNEUTS
major tribulation is to force peaceable
congregations to add "musical worship teams." The
gradually introduce male and females OVERSEEING the
assembly by sitting in the rear, then on the front
rows with microphones, THEN on the stage leading you
into worship. The ultimate goal is to add "male and
females singing and playing instruments." You have
taken the MARK of the Beast. A large number are
offended and get up and leave.

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all
diligence to write unto you of the common salvation,
it
was needful for me to WRITE [God
ordained SCRIBES] unto you,
and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend
for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.
Jude 4 For there are certain men crept
in unawares, [boasted
pattern: Infiltrate and Divert]
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, [PATTERN]
suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude 8 Likewise also these filthy
dreamers defile the flesh,
despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jude 17 But,
beloved, remember ye the words
which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jude 18 How that
they told you there should be mockers in the last time,
who should walk after their own ungodly
lusts.
Jude 19 These
be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the
Spirit.

Rubel Shelly and John York: Rubel:
Let me give you an example to work with in relation to the question you've
raised: homosexuality and the ordination of practicing
homosexuals to ministry.
Why don't we at least entertain the possibility that the
Bible simply reflects an ANCIENT
TABOO or homophobic prejudice in a few people like Paul
-- a taboo and prejudice we need to outgrow?
John: Remember, our fundamental conviction is that the Bible is the story of God,
a dramatic narrative that announces and reveals and invites us
into participation and relationship with God and one
another.
Every scene
in that story has been set in some historical human context.
Those cultural settings always have been changing and changeable

Bac. 1.1 Note:
Your Bacchanalian den: "Bacchanal" was properly
the place where the Bacchanalia, or orgies, were
celebrated. He styles them "Bacchantes," and their
house a "Bacchanal," in allusion both to
their names and their habits

Mischievous serpent: "Mala
tu's bestia."
Literally, "you are an evil beast;"
which sounds harsh to an English ear, even when
applied to such an animal as Bacchis.

or Thuias,
I. a Bacchanet, a female
attendant of Bacchus, who, in
company with Silenus and the Satyrs, celebrated
the festival of that deity with a raving madness carried
even to insensibility, and with hair loose and
flying wildly about, to initiate into the
festivals of Bacchus, Mūsa

A soft cloak: It was the custom at
entertainments for the revellers to exchange their
ordinary clothes for fine vestments, elaborately embroidered.
5 A womanish race:
"Muliersous" generally means "fond of women." It clearly
however, in this passage means "womanish," or "womanlike."
Jeremiah 15:17 I sat not in the
assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced;
I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me
with indignation.
9 Use a
drum: The priests of Cybele, who
were either eunuchs, or persons of effeminate
and worthless character, walked in their
processions beating a "tympanum." a "drum" or
"tambourine." The Captain, by his question,
contemptuously implies that Agorastocles is such a character.

ACU AGENDA: FOREORDAINED (JUDE)
TO ASSULT ANY AUTHORITY OVER THEM
Jeff Walling and the recent spawn of "preachers" seem
to have some unresolved conflict so that they reject ANY
authority and especially says or cannot read the
universal connection between music and REBELLION and
BURNING. Not even Edward Fudge can refute that
"for ever and for ever" doesn't exist.
The ACU
Agenda: If we are to have a truly
significant impact upon the national and international scene, faculties of religion must play leading prophetic roles in channeling and facilitating whatever changes loom ahead.
Train Prophetic roles, Channelers and Facilitators
The method
of subverting the 'hierarchial"
views of Jesus and Paul.

necessarily be convincing by today's standards"

PLATO LAWS
-[941a-b] If anyone, while acting
as ambassador [presbeutēs]
or herald [kērux],
conveys false messages from his State to another
State, or fails to deliver the actual
message he was sent to deliver, or is
proved to have brought back, as ambassador
or herald, either from a friendly or
hostile nation, their reply in a false
form, —against all such there shall be
laid an indictment for breaking the law
by sinning against
the sacred messages and injunctions of
Hermes1
and Zeus, and an assessment shall be made of the
penalty they shall suffer or pay, if convicted.
Theft of property is uncivilized, open robbery is shameless:
neither of these
has any of the sons of Zeus practiced,
Through delight in fraud or force. Let
no man, therefore, be deluded concerning
this or persuaded either by poiētōn or by any perverse myth-mongers [muthologōn]
into the belief that,
when he thieves or forcibly robs,
he is doing nothing shameful,
but just what the gods
themselves do. That is both unlikely and
untrue; and whoever acts thus unlawfully is
neither a god at all nor a child of gods;

men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in
their lust one toward another; men with men working
that which is unseemly, and receiving in
themselves that recompence of their error which
was meet.
Rom. 1:28 And even as they
did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God
gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those
things which are not convenient;
Rom. 1:29 Being filled with all
unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness,
covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,
debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom. 1:30 Backbiters, haters of
God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of
evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom. 1:31 Without
understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural
affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom. 1:32 Who knowing the
judgment of God, that they which commit such things
are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have
pleasure in them that do them
2Tim. 3:6 For of this sort are
they which creep into houses, [churches]
and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led
away with divers lusts,
2Tim. 3:7 Ever learning,
and never ABLE to come to the knowledge of the
truth.
2Tim. 3:8 Now as Jannes and
Jambres withstood Moses,
so do these also resist the truth:
men of
corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2Tim. 3:9 But they shall
proceed no further:
for their
folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs
also was.

From the Heliconian Muses let us begin
to sing, who hold the great and holy mount
of Helicon, and dance on soft feet about the
deep-blue spring and the altar of the
almighty son of Cronos...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....and quick-glancing1Aphrodite,
and Hebe with the crown of gold, and fair
Dione, Leto, Iapetus, and Cronos the crafty
counsellor, Eos, and great Helius [lucifer-apollyon],
and bright Selene, [20] Earth, too
And one day they taught
Hesiod glorious song while he was
shepherding his lambs under holy Helicon,
and this word first the goddesses
said to me—

daughters [whatever sex] of Zeus who
holds the aegis:

VOICES.
Olbricht was
not a disciple of Christ or he would understand that,
as in Jude and the music-replacing the once delivered
word: the Law of liberty from Hermes characters.
Plat. Sym. 202e “‘Well
what?’
“‘As I previously suggested, between a mortal and an
immortal.’
“‘And what is that, Diotima?’
“‘A great spirit, Socrates: for the whole of
the spiritual1
is between divine and mortal.’
“‘Possessing what power?’ I asked.
“‘Interpreting and transporting
human
things to the gods and divine things to men;
entreaties
and sacrifices from below,
and ordinances
and requitals from above:
being midway
between, it makes each to supplement the other,
so that the
whole is combined in one.
Through it are
conveyed all divination

of the porthmeus, Charon,

below these, the divine spirits, 1
and air-born race, holding the third
and middle situation, cause of interpretation,
which we must surely honor with prayers for
the sake of an auspicious journey across. 2
We must say of either of these two
creatures—that which is of ether and, next to
it, of air—that it is not entirely plain to
sight: when it is near by, it is not made
manifest to us;
Plat. Epin. 985a]
but partaking of extraordinary intelligence, as
belonging to an order which is quick to learn and
strong in memory, we may say that they understand the
whole of our thoughts, and show extraordinary kindness
to anyone of us who is a good man and true, and hate
him who is utterly evil, as one who already partakes
of suffering. For we know that God, who has the
privilege of the divine portion, is remote from these
affections of pain and pleasure, but has a share of
intelligence and knowledge in every sphere; and the
heaven being filled full of live creatures,
Plat. Epin. 985b.
[ 985b] they interpret all
men and all things both to one another and to the
most exalted gods, because the middle creatures move
both to earth and to the whole of heaven with a
lightly rushing motion. The kind which is of water, 1
the fifth, we shall be right in representing as a
semi-divine product of that element, and it is at
one time seen, but at another is concealed through
becoming obscure, presenting a marvel in the dimness
of vision. So these |

Thomas Olbricht poses as a
scholar but his target is Churches of Christ which feeds
him. He takes Alexander Campbell's view that
Scripture--delivered by prophets, Apostles and His
Scribes-can be understood by the rational mind of those
being provided "all that applies to life and godliness.
That false charge began in the 1960s and has
always been used to claim that those calling for a
restoration can use their own rational nature to
understand A Pattern.

"Although the
sermon was not
an essential part of the synagogue service,
the translation and explanation of
the Scripture lesson was a step in the direction
of a preaching service. There is evidence that an
exposition of the lesson formed a part of the
Sabbath afternoon service.
In earliest times the sermon seems to have been connected
with the reading from the
Prophets.
Anyone able to instruct might be asked to
preach (Acts 13:15).
The preacher spoke from a sitting
position on an elevated place (Luke
4:20). (feiffer, Charles F., Between the

"The word
that is employed for this "anaginosko, anagnosis)
is the
technical term for the cultic reading aloud of the Old Testament in the
synagogue.
By applying this terminology to the reading of
his own epistles
he not only
ascribes the same authority to the apostolic word
as to the Old Testament writings...
he also combines a quotation from the Old
Testament with a word of Jesus and introduces the

THE PATTERN FOR THE CHURCH-SYNAGOGUE
EXISTED AFTER GOD COMMMUNICATED THROUGH MOSES
Thomas Campbell defined:
CHURCH:
is A School of Christ
WORSHIP: is
Reading and Musing the WORD
THE PATTERN FOR THE
SYNAGOGUE-CHURCH IN THE
WILDERNESS FOR GODLY PEOPLE AFTER THE LEADERS
FELL INTO INSTRUMENTAL-TRINITARIAN-PERVERTEDO
IDOLATRY.
Acts 15:21 For
Moses of old time hath in every city
them that preach him, being read
in the synagogues every sabbath day.
THE PATTERN OF JESUS.
Luke 4:16 And he came to
Nazareth,
where he
had been brought up:
and, as
his custom was, [PATTERN]
he went
into the synagogue on the sabbath day, [ONCE EACH WEEK]
and stood
up for to READ.
THE PATTERN OF PAUL.
Acts 13:15 And after the READING of the
law and the prophets
the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them,
saying, Ye
men and brethren,
if ye have
any word of exhortation [comfort]
for the people,
SAY on.
NEVER "sing" or "preach"
beyond translating or comments ON THE READ
SCRIPTURES.
THE PROPHECY- PATTERN FOR
THE "LEADERS" THEN AND NOW.
Acts 13:27 For they that
dwell at Jerusalem, and their RULERS,
because
they knew him not,
nor yet
the VOICES
of the PROPHETS
which are
READ every sabbath day,
they have
fulfilled them in condemning him
THE DIRECT COMMAND AND
EXAMPLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN
God sent Apostles and SCRIBES to record ALL that
one needs to know in order to keep peace and
Educate: that is the inclusive-exclusive PATTERN.
Eph. 2:16 And that he might
RECONCILE both unto God
in one
body by the cross, having slain the enmity
thereby:
Eph. 2:17 And came and preached PEACE to
you which were afar off,
and to
them that were nigh.
Eph. 2:18 For through him we both have access
by one
Spirit unto the Father.
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 IN THE
EKKLESIA]
the
foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus
Christ himself being the chief [only Rabbi when we READ]
corner stone;
[Angelus: isolated, silent and secret]
Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together
for an
habitation of God through the Spirit.
John 14:23 Jesus
answered and said unto him,
IF a man love
me, he will KEEP MY
WORDS:
and
my Father will love him,
and WE
will come unto him, and make our abode with 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
The Father
Breathes {spirit} into the SON. SPIRIT is
always seen as God puts His WORDS into the
MOUTH of the SON.
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that
quickeneth;
the
flesh profiteth nothing:
the WORDS
that I speak unto you,
[Jesus is Masculine and
ADULT: He does not SING]
they
are SPIRIT,
and they are life

Martyr Chapter LXVII.-Weekly Worship of the
Christians.
"And
we afterwards continually remind each other of
these things. And the wealthy among us
help the needy;
and we always keep together; and for all

Is. 59:21 As for me, this is my
covenant with them, saith the Lord;
My SPIRIT
that is upon thee,

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
Matt. 28:16 Then the eleven disciples went away
into Galilee,
into a
mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Matt. 28:17 And when they saw him, they
worshipped him: but some doubted.
Worship means that
they "fell on their face in reverence and Godly
fear. No one in Holy Scripture worships by
preaching, listening, singing, playing an
instrument, acting or PAY TO PLAY.
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 (imperitave) ye therefore,
and teach
all nations, [enroll
disciples-not ceremonial legalists]
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

Matt. 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Heb. 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a
priest,
seeing that there are priests
that offer gifts according to the law:
That means that Jesus is
Prophet, Priest, only Rabbi, Comforter (paraclete)
and still TEACHER of the twos and threes who need
REST so that they and "LEARN OF Me." Jesus assures
that professional grade theologians will never be
able to "speak that which is written for our
learning."
Heb. 8:5 Who
serve unto the EXAMPLE and shadow of heavenly
things,
as Moses was admonished of God
when he was about to make the tabernacle:
for, See, saith he, that thou
make all things
according to the PATTERB shewed
to thee in the mount.
Heb. 8:6 But now hath he
obtained a more excellent ministry,
by how much also he is the
mediator of a better covenant,
which was established upon better
promises.
Heb. 8:7 For if that first
covenant had been faultless,
then should no place have been
sought for the second.
R. L. Dabney a
Presbyterian representing all denominations
prior to the mid 1800s wrote:
"God set up in the Hebrew
Church two distinct
forms of worship;
THE ONE one moral, didactic, spiritual and universal,
and
therefore perpetual in all places and ages that of the synagogues;
Rick.Atchley.Acts.17.25.God.Not.Worshipped.Mens.Hand.html
THE
ONE peculiar, local, typical,
foreshadowing in outward
forms the more
spiritual dispensation, and therefore destined to
be utterly
abrogated by Christ's coming.
Now we find instrumental music, like human priests and their vestments, show-bread, incense, and bloody sacrifice, absolutely
limited to this
local and temporary worship.
WORSHIP most
often means to fall on your face in reverence
and godly fear. music is never called worship
But,
the BEAST'S are worshipped by rhetoric, music,
scenic or pay to play. Jesus said that god
HIDES frome these wise sophists.
"But the Christian churches
were modeled upon
the synagogues and inherited their form of
government and worship because it was permanently didactic, moral and spiritual, and included nothing typical.
R.L.Dabney,
Expository Preaching contemporary of Alexander
Campbell
This reply is impregnably fortified by the word of God
himself: that
when the Antitype has come the types must be abolished.
For as the temple-priests and
animal sacrifices typified
Christ and his
sacrifice on Calvary, so the musical instruments of David in the temple-service only
typified the joy of the Holy Ghost in his
pentecostal effusions.
The preacher's business is
simply to take what he finds in the Scriptures,
and as he finds it, and press it down
upon the understandings, hearts, and consciences
of men. Nothing else is his business as a
preacher.

PLATO LAWS -[941a-b] If anyone, while

or herald [kērux],
conveys false messages from his State to
another State, or fails to deliver the actual
message he was sent to deliver, or
is proved to have brought back, as ambassador
or herald, either from a friendly
or hostile nation, their reply in a false
form, —against all such there shall
be laid an indictment for breaking
the law
by sinning
against the sacred messages and
injunctions of Hermes1
and Zeus, and an assessment shall be made of
the penalty they shall suffer or pay, if
convicted.

but just what the gods themselves do.1
That is both unlikely and untrue; and
whoever acts thus unlawfully is neither a

Philodemos considered it paradoxical
that music should be regarded as veneration
of the gods while musicians were paid for performing this so-called veneration.
Again, Philodemus held as self-deceptive the view that music mediated religious
ecstasy.
He saw the entire condition induced by the noise of cymbals and tambourines
as a disturbance
of the spirit. (Paul called it
mad or insane) He found it
significant that, on the whole, only
women and effeminate men fell into this
folly."

But things that are akin to things of
different kinds must themselves differ

[3] A still clearer
proof may be drawn
from
the hindrance that activities
receive from the pleasure derived from other
activities.
For instance, persons fond of the flute
cannot give their attention to a
philosophical discussion
[The LOGOS
or Regulative Principle]
when they overhear someone playing the
flute,
because they enjoy
music more than the activity in
which they are engaged;
therefore the pleasure afforded by the music
of the flute
impairs the
activity of study.

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me:
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good
work we stone thee not;
but for
blasphemy; and because that thou, being a MAN
, makest thyself God.
John 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath
sanctified, [At Baptism 30

Unlike Thomas Olbricht and his influence over all
once-Church of Christ universities and their
product--Theologians--is defined in the REAL resources as
MYTHOLOGY--I have consulted Lexicons apparently
unknown by the universities and the actual Greek and Latin
Resources. I will be happy to respond confidentially
to the end-time masses caught up in demonic (their
intercessors) and prophesied "worship". Jesus defines them
as from BENEATH or Tartarus.
Olbricht
provides an “AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL
HERMENEUTIC” as he unfolds the
story of his fruitful career. In a style
reminiscent of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Leaves from
the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic, Olbricht
conveys profound theological INSIGHTS
through accounts of his own life EXPERIENCES.
Jesus is the Spirit OF Truth
Comforter and the ONE and only Paraclete:
1John
2:1 My little children, these things write
I unto you, that ye sin not.
And
if any man sin, we have an advocate [PARACLETE] with
the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1John 2:2 And he is the propitiation for
our sins: and not for ours only, but also
for the sins of the whole world.
1John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we
know him,
if
we keep his commandments.
1John 2:4 He that saith, I know him,
and
keepeth not his commandments,
is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:5 But whoso keepeth his WORD,
in him verily is the love of God
perfected:
hereby know we that we are in him.
1John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him
ought himself also so to WALK,
even as he WALKED.
Matt. 8:20 And Jesus saith
unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air
have nests;
but the Son of man
hath not where to lay his head.
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;
1Cor.
15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written,
The
first man Adam [Dust-Aborigine] was made a
living soul;
the
last Adam was MADE a quickening SPIRIT

Tertullian, De Spectaculis,
Religious Drama and Music Died ad200
Tertullian in De Spectaculis: Ritual battles of idolatry
were performed and the promoter had to lie and say
that the performances were to worship the gods and
goddesses. They called the theaters Temples for "holy
entertainment" to fool the fools.
Chapter XXV Nay, in the whole thing he will meet
with no greater temptation than that gay attiring of the men and women.
The very intermingling
of emotions,
the very agreements and disagreements with each other in the
bestowment of their favours, where you have such
close communion, blow up the sparks of passion.
And then there is scarce
any other object in going to the show,
but to see and to
be seen
When a tragic actor is declaiming,
will one be
giving thought to prophetic appeals?
Amid the measures of the effeminate player,
will he call up to himself a psalm?
And when the athletes are hard
at struggle, will he be ready to proclaim that there
must be no striking again? And with his eye fixed on
the bites of bears, and the sponge-nets of
the net-fighters, can he be moved by compassion? May
God avert from His people any such passionate
eagerness after a cruel enjoyment!
For how monstrous it is to go
from God's church to the devil's-from the sky to the stye, [De Caelo in
Caenum: (sic) Oehler.] as they say;
to raise your hands to God, and then
to weary them
in the applause of an actor;
out of the mouth, from
which you uttered
Amen over the Holy Thing,
to give witness
in a gladiator's favour; to cry "forever" to any
one else but God and Chris
For at the very time the devil is working havoc
in the church,
do you doubt that the angels are looking down
from above,
and marking every man, who speaks
and who listens to the blaspheming
word,
who lends his tongue and who lends his ears to
the service of Satan against God?
Shall you not then shun those
tiers where the
enemies of Christ assemble, that seat of
all that is pestilential, and the very super
incumbent atmosphere all impure with wicked cries?
Grant that you have there
things that are pleasant, things both
agreeable and innocent in themselves; even some
things that are excellent.
Nobody dilutes poison with
gall and hellebore: the accursed thing is put
into condiments well seasoned and of sweetest
taste.
So, too, the devil puts into the deadly
draught which he prepares,
things of God most pleasant and most acceptable.
Everything there, then, that is either brave,
noble,
loud-sounding, melodious, or exquisite
in taste,
hold it but as the honey drop of a poisoned cake;
nor make so much of your taste for its
pleasures,
as of the danger you run from its
attractions.
Now they have gladness and we
are troubled.
"The world," says Jesus,
"shall rejoice; ye shall be sorrowful."
(John xvi. 20)
Let us mourn, then, while
the heathen are merry,
that in the day of their sorrow we may
rejoice;
lest, sharing now in their
gladness,
we share then also in their grief. Thou art too
dainty,

The NEW HERMENEUTIC was forordained
1Tim. 4:1 Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly,
that in the latter times some shall depart from THE FAITH

1Tim. 4:2 Speaking lies in
hypocrisy;
having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Cor. 10:20 But I say, that the things
which the Gentiles sacrifice,
they sacrifice to DEVILS, and not
to God:
and I would not that ye should have fellowship with DEVILS.
1Cor. 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of
the Lord, and the cup of DEVILS:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the
table of DEVILS.
Rev. 9:20 And the rest of the men
which were not killed by these plagues

This, now, is great proof

that any one could be found to adopt the rule which he
had laid down. For you alone were found to be a man who could not be satisfied
with correcting the wills of the living, unless
you also rescinded those of the dead.
And yet Most if
not all Once-Christian Universities and their Theological
spawn have ACCEPTED that counterfeit."I have
added actual resources over time and the evidence is absolute:
Jude defined foreordained men who reject the once-delivered
faith and are repeating the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted
"play" at Mount Sinai.
Foster, Olbricht, all of the once-Christian universities
and most if not all of the latest spawn of preachers, have
collected a BAND OF BROTHERS with a FOREORDAINED
(Jude) assault upon Holy Scripture which has been honored by
all prior to the PROPHESIED effort leading up to the last
Jubilee in the year 2000.
IF THEY PLEAD FOR MONEY AND WANT YOU TO BUILD THEM A HOUSE

method, and almost no one will be able to find it.
Heb. 11:6 But without faith

Rom. 10:6 But the
righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise,
Say not in thine

(that is, to bring
Christ down from above:)
Theologians and musicians boast that
THEY can bring God down into your actual presence.
Rom. 10:7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep?
(that is, to bring up Christ again
from the dead.)

IN 1885 the Disciples-Christian
Churches dug up the Greek PSALLO to justify their
sowiing discord among the DISCIPLES-CHRISTIANS.
IN 1985 Rubel Shelly miffed, began a movement to
transition churches of Christ away from Scripture and to
merge with the NOT-Christian churches.
J.E.Choate wrote: Since the
1960s, the postmodern Church of Christ has
been gradually taking on the form and substance of another
Protestant denomination. The movement began with
an "elite" crop of young "intellectuals" who had grown
ashamed of the traditional churches of Christ.
I watched this first hand in Mass Public.
Meetings in Seattle as Pat Boone, Roy Osburne

"(and in the early 1980s, Chuck Lucas

in Hereford, Texas, wrote a little book (Fellowship of
Believers) in which he advocated fellowship with the
denominations, and then began practicing what he wrote. Roy
Osborne was in the forefront of liberal preachers
who were gaining in popularity on campuses and in pulpits
of some large churches.
Roy Osburne boasted that he had burned his old
sermons!
This prophesied apostasy rejects God, Jesus, The Apostles and
Holy Scripture has been made OLSOLETE by A spirit guiding

ROBBING TEMPLES!
The paradigms of postmodern theology
take on different guises. Michael Moss, chairman of the
Lipscomb Bible department, says it best in his 1989 CSC
paper: "One must reject a rigid 'pattern
theology' which simply transplants religious and
cultural forms from the first century to the modern age."
Randy Harris, popular Lipscomb Bible faculty
member, advocates the "hermeneutic of suspicion."

"Thomas Olbricht reports that
"according to current prognosis, the churches of Christ are
entering a 'hermeneutical crisis"' (CSC,
1989).
The Church of Christ; Ekklesia in the Wilderness and all
of the ABSOLUTE PATTERN--With priests,
Levites and FUNDING--has always been in Crisis.

A year later Randy Fenter
sounded the alarm that a "hermeneutical fire storm is
raging through the brotherhood" (Image, 1990).
Denny Boultinghouse sees the controversy in a different
light. He wrote that the controversy between the "old
hermeneutic" versus the "new hermeneutic" brethren has
become so controversial that they are finding it "difficult
to carry on a cool-headed discussion about the matter" (Image,
1990).
"Thomas Olbricht submits
his proposal that he says is endorsed by FRONT
RUNNERS in Nashville and other places:
"Scripture is not a
constitution or code book as envisioned by the 'old
hermeneutic'
but is a love
letter from God."
And he adds: "I believe that God's relentless love for
mankind made in his image is the beginning point
for the story and its form" (CSC, 1989).
Philip Slate sees it differently: "I have heard no real
evidence for the assertion that the New Testament is a
love letter rather than a constitution" (Image,
1991).
John 14:15 If ye love me,

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them,

me shall be loved of my Father,

John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in
my love;
even as I have kept
my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
1John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of
God,
when we love God,

1John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments:

are not grievous.
2John 6 And this is love, that we walk after his
commandments.
This is the
commandment,
That, as ye have
heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

lbricht
provides an “AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL HERMENEUTIC”
as he unfolds the story of his fruitful career. In
a style reminiscent of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Leaves from
the Notebook of a Tamed Cynic, Olbricht
conveys profound theological INSIGHTS
through accounts of his own life
EXPERIENCES.
Herneneutics in its PRO Holy Scripture sense is
interpretation by translation that which is written for our
learning; the perfect law of liberty, the once delivered
truth, the New Covenant or Last Will and Testament of Jesus
Christ.
God used LOGOS to define His WORD made visible and audible by
Jesus Christ. This is the antithesis of Hermes (Mercury,
Kairos) as the homosexual mediator between the "gods" and
humans. Hermes was a liar and thief. The Hermes or
phallic symbol like Jochim and Boaz as the abomination meaning
"the temple is open for business."
Olbricht and all of his converts defined by any THEOLOGY
pattern are versed in the laws of Apollyon leader of the
Locusts: they are his prostitute musical worship team used to
call in the SEEKERS.
Theologians stand in their "holy
places' claiming to be God. That is
because they deny that God, Jesus
Christ, the Apostles or the recorder of
Scripture were UNABLE to anticipate the
CONTINGENCIES of our culture.
Douglas
A. Foster. The
author immediately makes it clear
that he felt neither the desire nor
the capability of producing a
traditional hermeneutics textbook. This
is, rather,
narrative theology.
"In a narrative essay,
you tell a story, often about a personal
experience, but you also make a
point. So, the purpose is not only to tell
an entertaining tale, but also to expound
on the importance of the experience. In
the narrative essay examples below, see if
you can pull out the moral or theme. When
it’s your time to draft a similar type of
essay, hopefully, you can stir the heart
of the reader." [And sell more books and
bookings]
Don't be disturbed: God
sent Jesus for a tiny flock of Lost
Spirits and translate them into a
heavenly kingdom." Christ's Church
is a SAFE HOUSE and the leaders SERVE
the lambs.
The.Golden.Tractate.of.Hermes.Trismegistus.html
Even thus saith Hermes: Through long years I have not ceased
to experiment, neither have I have spared any labour
of mind And this science and art I have obtained by the
sole inspiration of the living God, who judged fit to
open them to me His servant, who has given to rational
creatures the power of thinking and judging aright,
forsaking none, or giving to any occasion to despair. For
myself, I had never discovered this matter to anyone
had it not been from fear of the day of judgment, and the
perdition of my soul if I concealed it. It is a debt which I
am desirous to discharge to the Faithful, as the Father of
the faithful did liberally bestow it upon me.
After the Instrumental-Trinitarian-Perverted "Play" at Mount
Sinai, God turned the over to worship the starry host (Acts 7)
and sentenced them to Captivity and death in Babylon
Jesus
used "narrative" or parables to HIDE from the wise,
sophists inchuding rhetorians, singers, instrument or
drama.
All of those things pertaining to life and godliness
were recorded as olbjective commands, examples and
inferences.
If you do not
believe this then God sends you a strong delusion that you
believe your own lies and are damned.
Strong delusions causes you to reject
the Word, the REAL Logos, the regulative principle. That
outlaws everything the NEW HERMENEUTS have hallucinated and

Rubel Shelly and John York: Rubel: Let me give you an example to work with in relation to the question you've
raised: homosexuality and the ordination of practicing homosexuals to ministry.
Why don't we at least entertain the possibility that the
Bible simply reflects an ANCIENT
TABOO or homophobic prejudice in a few people like Paul -- a taboo and prejudice we need to outgrow?
John: Remember, our fundamental conviction is that the Bible is the story of God,
a dramatic narrative that announces and reveals and invites us
into participation and relationship with God and one
another.
Every scene in that story has been set in some historical human context.
Those cultural settings always have been changing and changeable

Hermes was the messenger god.
He was the god of rhetoric, the lord of
the clever. He was the god of merchants
(derived from his name through the medieval
“ch”ing of the Latin c), and traders, and
thieves. He was a merry god, impish in all
his doings. The kind of trouble maker you
couldn’t help loving. Obviously a marketer

Hermes: Born with the dawning,
at mid-day he played on the lyre, and in the evening he stole the cattle of far-shooting
Apollo on the fourth day of the month; for on
that day queenly Maia bare him.
When
Zeus had an affair with Mnemosyne, he coupled with her for nine
consecutive nights, which produced nine daughters, who became known as the Muses.
They entertained their father and the other gods
as a celestial choir on Mount Olympus. They became deities of intellectual pursuits. Also
the three Charites or Graces were born from Zeus and Eurynome. From all his children Zeus
gave man all he needed to live life in an
ordered and moral way.
Hermes, the
herald of the Olympian gods, is son of Zeus and the nymph Maia, daughter of Atlas and one of
the Pleiades.
Hermes is also the god of shepherds, land travel, merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves and
known for his cunning and shrewdness. He was also a minor patron of poetry.
He was worshiped throughout Greece especially in
Arcadia.
Festivals in
honor of Hermes were called Hermoea.
Originally Hermes was a phallic god, being attached to fertility
and good fortune, and also a patron of roads and
boundaries. His name coming from herma, the
plural being hermaiherm was a square or
rectangular pillar in either stone or bronze, with the head of Hermes (usually with a beard), which
adorned the top of the pillar, and male genitals near to the base of the pillar.
The offspring of Hermes are believed to be Pan, Abderus and Hermaphroditus. Hermes as with the other gods
had numerous affairs with goddesses, nymphs and mortals. In some
legends even sheep and goats. Pan, the half man half goat, [The
CAPELLA MYSTERY] is believed to be the son of Hermes and Dryope,

on Olbecht: In eleven
chapters O. proceeds chronologically through HIS
personal story,
focusing in each phase on
the ways he and those around him
have INTERPRETED
and acted upon Scripture.
He sets the
stage for HIS narrative in the introduction
with the principle
that
interpretation must begin with a biblical
understanding of God.
If
these Theologians had been able to read BLACK
text on BROWN

Spirit OF God.

afore in few words,
Eph. 3:4 Whereby, when ye READ,

“If we interpret the
Bible properly we do NOT come face to face
with a sure-fire scheme.
We come face
to face with the living God,
through Christ his
Son and the Holy Spirit” (11).
If
that is understandable: Interpretation of Holy
Scripture (God is not an idiot as claimed) cannot
happen without understanding God.
But IF we interpret PROPERLY, we cannot understand the
objective desire for God in the Ekklesia or School of
Christ.
Instead we come Face to Face with God.
But not face to face: we see God through the MAN Jesus
and A Holy Spirit god.
God sends a LYING SPIRIT into the MOUTH to deceive
everyone not baptized into Christ, or "washed with
water INTO the Word"
Col.
1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his
dear Son
May it not happen, may it not come to pass,
although you craftily conceal it, that the one
should take the other's place, deluding, mocking,
deceiving, and presenting the appearance of the deity
invoked?
If the magi, who areso
much akin to 63
soothsayers, relate that, in their
incantations, pretended gods
64 [demons] steal in frequently
instead of those invoked; that some of these,
moreover, are spirits of grosser substance,
65
who pretend that they are gods, and delude the
ignorant by their lies and deceit,-
why 66
should we not similarly believe that here, too, others
substitute themselves for those who are not, that they
may both strengthen your superstitious beliefs, and
rejoice that victims are slain in sacrifice
[tithes and oferings] to them under names not their
own?
Plat. Rep. 2.364a
employed by both laymen and poets. All with one
accord reiterate that soberness and righteousness
are fair and honorable, to be sure, but
unpleasant and laborious, while
licentiousness and injustice are pleasant and easy
to win and are only in opinion and by
convention disgraceful. They say that
injustice pays better than justice, for the
most part, and they do not scruple to felicitate
bad men who are rich or have other kinds of
power to do them honor in public and
private, and to dishonor
Republic
[364b]
and disregard those who are in any way
weak or poor,
even while admitting that they
are better men than the others.
But the strangest of all
these speeches
are the things they say about
the gods1
and virtue,
how so it is that the gods
themselves
assign to many good men
misfortunes
and an evil life but to their
opposites a contrary lot;
and begging
priests2
and soothsayers go to rich men's doors
and make them believe that they by
means of sacrifices and incantations
have accumulated a treasure of
power from the gods3
that can expiate and cure with
pleasurable festivals
1
The gnomic poets complain that bad men prosper
for a time, but they have faith in the late
punishment of the wicked and the final triumph of
justice.
2
There is a striking analogy between Plato's
language here and the description by Protestant
historians of the sale of indulgences by Tetzel
in Germany.
Rich men's doors is proverbial. Cf. 489 B.
3
Cf. Mill, “Utility of Religion,”Three
Essays on Religion, p. 90: “All positive
religions aid this self-delusion. Bad
religions teach that divine vengeance may be bought
off by offerings or personal abasement.” Plato, Laws
885 D, anticipates Mill. With the whole passage
compare the scenes at the founding of
Cloudcuckootown, Aristophanes Birds
960-990, and more seriously the medieval
doctrine of the “treasure of the church” and
the Hindu tapas.

The
Assembly or School of Christ does not interpret:
Peter equates that to despising the Spirit OF (His)
God.
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.
SPIRIT in all languages has not and can not be a god
or man: spirit or mind is God's Mental Disposition.
John 6:62 What and if ye
shall see the Son of MAN ascend up where he was
before?

that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth
nothing: [man's imagination is
only evil continually]

that I SPEAK unto you,

they are SPIRIT, and they
are LIFE
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;
LIKE THE PATTERN FOR THE
SYNAGOGUE, THE ONLY PATTERN FOR THE ASSEMBLY WHERE
JESUS TEACHES.
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 in the Ekklesia]
the foundation
of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ
himself being the chief corner stone;
Jesus is Chief or HEAD as the only
Teacher. The PLACE is at a quiet and secret place:
In the PLACE of the human spirit.
2Pet.
1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation.
That means no one will be permitted
among believers to FURTHER EXPOUND.
Again: The
author immediately makes it clear that he felt neither
the desire nor the capability of producing a
traditional hermeneutics textbook. This is, rather,
narrative theology.

The Babylonian Mother of Harlots is a SORCERESS.
In His Glorified STATE, Jesus is HOLY SPIRIT. Jesus is still
Prophet, Priest, King and only Rabbi: He continues to teach
through His Last Will and Testament which containes everything
that the Lost Spirits need to respond to the sign, be baptized

HOLY PLACES can understand
Luke 10:22 All things are
delivered to me OF my Father: [There is no spirit god between

TO PYTHIAN APOLLO -- (Abaddon Apollo Apollyon)
179-181
- O Lord, Lycia is yours and lovely Maeonia and Miletus,
charming city by the sea, but over wave-girt Delos
you greatly reign your own self.
182-206 - Leto"s (mother of Apollon) - all-glorious son
goes to rocky Pytho, playing
upon his hollow
lyre, clad in
divine, perfumed garments; and at the touch of the golden key his
lyre sings sweet.
Thence, swift as thought, he speeds
from earth to Olympus, to the house of Zeus,
to join the gathering of the other gods:
then straightway the undying gods think only of the lyre and song,
and all the Muses
[locusts] together, voice sweetly answering voice,
hymn the unending gifts the gods enjoy and the
sufferings of men,
all that they endure at
the hands of the deathless gods,
and how they live witless and helpless and
........... cannot find healing for death or defence against old age.
Meanwhile the rich-tressed Graces
[godesses of fertility] and cheerful Seasons dance with Harmonia [Greek:
daughter of Ares and Aphrodite], and Hebe and Aphrodite, daughter of
Zeus, holding each other by the wrist. And among them sings
one, not mean nor puny, but tall to look upon and
enviable in mien, Artemis [sister
of Apolo, temple in Ephesus]
who delights in arrows, sister of Apollo.
Among them sport Ares [Greek,
Roman Mars] and the
keen-eyed Slayer of Argus,while
Apollon plays his lyre
stepping high and featly and a radiance shines around him, the gleaming of his feet and close-woven vest. And they,
even gold-tressed Leto and wise Zeus,
rejoice in their great hearts as they watch their dear
son playing among the undying gods.

Aeschylus, Suppliant Women The
tender ripeness of summer fruit is in no
way easy to protect; beasts despoil it--and men, why
not?-- [1000] and brutes
that fly and those that walk the earth. Love's goddess
spreads news abroad of fruit bursting ripe. . . . So all
men, as they pass, [1005] mastered
by desire, shoot an alluring arrow of the eye at the
delicate beauty of virgins. See to it, therefore, that we do
not suffer that in fear for which we have endured great toil
and ploughed the great waters with our ship; and that we
bring no shame to ourselves and exultation to our enemies.
Housing of two kinds is at our disposition,
[1010] the one Pelasgus offers, the other, the city, and to
occupy free of cost. These terms are easy. Only pay heed to
these behests of your father, and count your chastity more
precious than your life.

Olbricht was a leader in the New Hermeneutic. The
olden pattern of reading Scripture for truth is now outdated
and some talented and trained men can CO-INSPIRE to meet the
CONTINGENCY of our culture. The Driving Purpose is to
repudiate Holy Scripture and the MAN Jesus into Who God put
His WORD into the Son's MOUTH: THAT
is the meaning of SPIRIT. Theology or Hermeneutics
would never float to the top of the mind of a
Christian-Disciple-Student:
The REST [Shiloh] or PAUO as the School

IN 1885 the Disciples-Christian Churches dug up the Greek
PSALLO to justify their sowiing discord among the
DISCIPLES-CHRISTIANS.
IN 1985 Rubel Shelly miffed, began a movement to transition
churches of Christ away from Scripture and to merge with the
NOT Christian churches.
J.E.Choate wrote: Since the
1960s, the postmodern Church of Christ has
been gradually taking on the form and substance of another
Protestant denomination. The movement began with
an "elite" crop of young "intellectuals" who had grown
ashamed of the traditional churches of Christ.
Some of the "young turks" held Ph.Ds
from prestigious theological seminaries. They came out
loaded to the gill with the new theology labeled
neo-orthodoxy. No longer was it the apostle Paul whom they
admired as their biblical hero but Barth and Bultmann.
Today, it would not be Peter and Paul, but dangerously
closer to John Dominic Crossan of the Jesus Seminar.
It is such seminarians who now push their theological
packages.
Change was in the air! Their long
range goals were being formulated. Their agendas were
"fuzzy" through the 60s and 70s. This is now no longer the
case. The premier liberal theologies today are labeled
Liberation theology; "Derridean" deconstruction;
the Third Wave Pentecostal Movement; the Kansas City
Prophets; and the "Jesus theology" of the Westmar
Institute. Few in the pews have the vaguest ideas of such.
They became increasingly open with
their stated liberal views. Their big talking point in the
early '90s was the "old hermeneutic" versus the "new
hermeneutic." Go to the 1989-1991 Christian Scholars
Conference (CSC) papers and Image magazine to
read about this. "Our scholars" who can now write learned
papers on the cutting edge of modern liberal scholarship
are documenting their learned papers with Bultmann, et.al.
The paradigms of postmodern theology
take on different guises. Michael Moss, chairman of the
Lipscomb Bible department, says it best in his 1989 CSC
paper: "One must reject a rigid 'pattern theology'
which simply transplants religious and cultural forms from
the first century to the modern age." Randy Harris,
popular Lipscomb Bible faculty member, advocates the
"hermeneutic of suspicion."
Thomas Olbricht reports that
"according to current prognosis, the churches of Christ are
entering a 'hermeneutical crisis"' (CSC, 1989). A year later
Randy Fenter sounded the alarm that a "hermeneutical fire
storm is raging through the brotherhood" (Image, 1990).
Denny Boultinghouse sees the controversy in a different
light. He wrote that the controversy between the "old
hermeneutic" versus the "new hermeneutic" brethren has
become so controversial that they are finding it "difficult
to carry on a cool-headed discussion about the matter" (Image,
1990).
Thomas Olbricht submits his
proposal that he says is endorsed by front runners in
Nashville and other places: "Scripture is not a
constitution or code book as envisioned by the 'old
hermeneutic' but is a love letter from God." And he adds:
"I believe that God's relentless love for mankind made in
his image is the beginning point for the story and
its form" (CSC, 1989). Philip Slate sees it differently:
"I have heard no real evidence for the assertion that the
New Testament is a love letter rather than a constitution"
(Image, 1991).
Michael Casey sets forth his proposal
for a specific methodology for a "new hermeneutic." The
deponents for a "new hermeneutic" share a commonalty of
agreement in their rejection of the "old hermeneutic." Casey
explains: "I want to propose a 'new hermeneutic' that grows
out of a critique of the 'old hermeneutic' of command,
approved example, and necessary inference." Casey
alleges that, "The church is a story-formed community or a
community of character that lives by the story of Christ and
the early church. That story has been given to all
Christians to live by" (CSC, 1989). And so it is that "life
is a tale that is told," as poetically phrased by David and
prosaically stated by William Faulkner that "life is a tale
told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing."
Bill R. Swetmon would set up
a model for a "new hermeneutic" with the most venerable of
patterns.
He begins by telling
us there has been a tendency in our movement
to almost totally
ignore the historical approach to literature.
"Rather we have approached the
scripture as an arrangement of inspired propositions
(proof texts)." Swetmon states his intent: "In this
article I should like to set forth a method of hermeneutic
that has been almost totally overlooked by many of us" (Image,
1989). What does he mean when he speaks of the
"historical method in hermeneutics"?
Swetmon is actually saying
that most of us have little awareness of the fields of
lower criticism and higher criticism. In the centuries-old
translations of the scripture, we start with the
Septuagint (250 B.C.) and the monumental translations
since. We have the language scholars in mind in the field
of lower criticism. In the field of higher criticism, we
have in mind the biblical historians and archaeologists
who recover ancient civilization from dead languages and
artifacts, each with its own story to tell. We all use and
have boundless respect for such "world class" scholars and
their books and dictionaries. I have seen the Rosetta
stone and a part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The secular
world of academia is just as thrilled with each new
discovery as any biblical scholar. We think Swetmon has
done poorly on this one.

EVEN CONSERVATIVES INSIST THAT GOD COMMANDED WORSHIP

is utterly false
All such WORSHIP wars are created by Clergy who insists on
destroying both the REST and LEARNING for which Jesus
died. Even when musical instruments are used they
are Force Agents to force people to WORSHIP by bowing or
falling down. Neither the singers or instrument players
are said to WORSHIP or LEAD Worship. They are
threats that everyone very close must be on the ground.Not

WORKS-INTENSIVE MUSIC IS WORSHIP.
Dan. 3:7 Therefore at
that time, when all the people
heard the sound of
the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds
of musick,
all the people, the
nations, and the languages,
fell down and worshipped the
golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
The BEAST in Revelation is Therion or A New Style of
Music and Satyric (perverted drama). There is no limit
that large institutions are Purpose Driven to force or
shame everyone to "worship with instrumental Music." God
will burn them if they don't fall down in the isles when
the really silly "worship team" turns to HOWLING as
prophesied in Amos 8
Tom Olbricht: Campbell
commenced the address by declaring the need to "take all
our measures directly and immediately from the Divine
standard." (Note 1)
To be
avoided, however, is a human interpretation of that standard.
He therefore immediately implied the desirability of setting out
guidelines which avoided human construals.
Note 1: Thomas
Campbell, Declaration
and Address, in Historical Documents Advocating
Christian Union,
ed. Charles Alexander Young, ed. (Chicago: The
Christian Century Company, 1904) 71.
The almost universal guideline is
that a church is APOSTOLIC meaning that, as a Disciple,
one seeks to READ or SPEAK that which is
written. It is not possible to ADD anything from
human or PAGANISM such as Instrumental Music.
When people HIRE OUT as theologians
or preachers they CLAIM the role and dole to INTERPRET.
A review of discussion by the
Campbells and others indicates that the chief goal was RESTORATION
OF HUMAN FREEDOM. That did not give theologians a
new TOOL to DO church but a weapon for individual
believers to fend off those ever ready to bundle them into
some form of human institution. By repudiating the notion
of ordained clergy they freed everyone to become a student
of the word.
A human interpretation would be the
work of "doctors of the Law" who, according to Jesus, took
away the keys to knowledge. Campbell did not remotely hint
that the Bible could not be interpreted IF you left out
theology which is anti-Biblical.
Paul said that the way to avoid human
"construals" is for the elders as the only
pastor-teachers of the congregation to "Teach that which
has been taught." Paul also understood the Prophets who by
inspiration DEFINED the future kingdom both inclusively
and exclusively. Jesus defined Holy Scripture
as the Prophets and other prophecies CONCERNING ME.
The Apostles were eye-- and ear--witnesses and left us a
MEMORY. That is not subject to Private Interpretation (a
command or Further Expounding.
Mark 10:24 And
the disciples were astonished at his WORDS.
But Jesus
answereth again, and saith unto them, Children,
how hard is it for
them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of
God!
John 3:3 Jesus answered and
said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be BORN
AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a MAN
be born when he is old?
can he enter the
second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born
of WATER and of the SPIRIT,
he cannot enter into
the kingdom of God.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have
done,
but according to his
mercy he saved us,
by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy SPIRIT;
Acts 3:19 Repent ye
therefore, and be converted,
THAT your
sins may be blotted out,
when the times of
REFRESHING shall come from the presence of the
Lord;

John 2:22 When therefore he was risen from the dead,
his disciples
remembered that he had said this unto them;
and they believed
the SCRIPTURE, and
the WORD
which Jesus had said.
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 WORDS,
then are ye my disciples indeed;
AND ye shall KNOW
the truth, and the truth shall make you FREE. John 8:32
The gift is OUR unholy spirit is made
Holy when "our sins are washed away." In 2 Corinthians
3 Paul said that unless the Jews were converted or
baptized they would not be able to READ the Word nor
could they HEAR the Word when it was PREACHED by being
READ once each week.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said
unto her,
If thou knewest
the GIFT of God,
and who it is that
saith to thee, GIVE
me to DRINK;
thou wouldest have
asked of him, and he would have GIVEN
the LIVING WATER
Isaiah.55.Word.Spirit.html
Jesus as Prophet, Priest, King and SOLE Teacher will NOT
let you SELL the Free Water of the WORD. That is why
those who Speak ON THEIR OWN, says Jesus, are the sons
of the Devil.
The Sons of God SPEAK the Word.
The Sons of the DEVIL DO. DO is poieo anything you
build, compose or perform.
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [Educated By] the
foundation of the APOSTLES and PROPHETS and
prophets,
Jesus Christ himself
being the chief corner stone
Campbell said:
We are also of opinion that as the
Divine WORD is equally
binding upon all,
so all lie under
an equal obligation to be bound by it, and it alone;
and not by any human interpretation of it;
and that,
therefore, no man has a right to judge his brother,
except in so far
as he manifestly violates the express letter of the
law.
That every such
judgment is an express violation of the law of Christ,
a daring usurpation of his throne, and a gross intrusion
upon the rights and liberties of his subjects.
The Kingdom of Abilene JUDGE and PUNISH those
who will not join in MOCKING Jesus with the WORKS
OF HUMAN HANDS.
2Pet. 2:17 These are WELLS WITHOUT WATER
clouds that
are carried with a tempest;
to whom the mist of
darkness is reserved for ever.
2Pet. 2:18 For when they speak great swelling words of
vanity,
they allure through
the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness,
those that were clean
escaped from them who live in error.
2Pet. 2:20 For if after they have
escaped the
pollutions of the world
through the knowledge
of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
they are again
entangled therein, and overcome,
the latter end is
worse with them than the beginning.
2Pet. 2:21 For it had been better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness,
than, after they
have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered
unto them.
ALL STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT THE
WORD IS GOD MADE VISIBLE AND AUDIBLE BY JESUS CHRIST
ONLY.
There is no WORSHIP of God which
implicates musical instruments or anything beyond BOWING
or falling before God and listening to the PREACHING of
the Word by READING once each week.

The Declaration and Address, like
John Locke's writings, were a Declaration of Freedom FROM theologians. Judging is not just having an opinion
which the NEW HERMENEUTS want to outlaw but judging is
inflicting or imposing some penalty or burden on others.
In the case of instrumental music, the same German liberal
thought imposed instruments on most of the denominational
people who CAME OUT OF BABYLON as they were freed to think

GOD SENT PROPHETS AND SCRIBES
OR PROPHETS AND APOSTLE FOR OUR 'MEMORY'
Matt. 23:34 ¶ Wherefore, behold, I send
unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some
of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them
shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:
Luke 11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I
will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them
they shall slay and persecute:
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:
Peter warned about
hermeneuts, exegetes, rheroricians, sOPHISts,
singers and musicians by putting a SEAL on the
written word. This was in part to be a TRAP to
identified those who made a profession out of
further expounding the free Word:
2Pet. 1:4 Whereby are given unto
us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these
ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped
the corruption [connects to musical sounds]
that is in the world through lust.
2 Pet 1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be

to have these things alway in

If you are "taking heed" to the preacher, singers

church you cannot be giving heed to the Word. And

epithet Lyceus, often applied to Apollo, was

the destroyer and protector of wolves （ lukoi）. As a
destructive power he is invoked to ward off
enemies （ Aesch.
Seven 145）; as an averter
of evil he protects herds, flocks, and the
young. According to Pausanias （ Paus.
2.19.3） Danaus
established a sanctuary in honor of Lyceus at
Argos,
where, in later times, the most famous of all
Apollo's temples was consecrated to him under
the title of “Wolf-god.”
Paus.
2.19.3 The most famous building in
the city of Argos
is the sanctuary of Apollo Lycius （Wolf-god）.
The modern image was made by the Athenian
Attalus, but the original temple and wooden
image were the offering of Danaus. I am of
opinion that in those days all images,
especially Egyptian images, were made of wood.
The reason why Danaus founded a sanctuary of
Apollo Lycius was this. On coming to Argos
he claimed the kingdom against Gelanor, the
son of Sthenelas. Many plausible arguments
were brought forward by both parties, and
those of Sthenelas were considered as fair as
those of his opponent; so the people, who were
sitting in judgment, put off, they say, the

It will, I imagine, seem ridiculous that
things are made manifest through imitation
in letters and syllables; nevertheless it
cannot be otherwise. For there is no better
theory upon which we can base the truth of
the earliest names, unless you think we
had better follow the example of the
tragic poets, who, when they are in a
dilemma, have recourse to the introduction
of gods on machines. So we may get out
of trouble by saying that the gods gave
the earliest names, and therefore they are
right.
Soc. I will endeavour to
explain, for I do not believe that any
single name could have been better adapted
to express the attributes of the God,
embracing and in a manner signifying all
four of them,- music, and prophecy, and medicine, and archery.
Her. That must be a strange
name, and I should like to hear the
explanation.
Soc. Say rather an harmonious name, as beseems the God of Harmony.
In the first place, the

from all impurities?

It is darkness, And not light. [19] As if a

I hate, I despise your feasts, And I can't

Neither will I regard the peace offerings of

Campbell's basis of fellowship in a worshiping body.
Later, instrumental music would be added and those who
resisted would be charged with sowing discord because they
refused to conform. Non instrumentalist were denied the
right to hold and express their views held from the first
century. Therefore, to pass judgment on
non-instrumentalists when there is no law against speaking
or teaching rather than "making music" the musical
innovators judge their brethren and generally confiscated
their property.

Thomas Campbell may never
have said the word "hermeneutic" which is named
after Hermes or Mercury the Rubel Shelly example
for John's adaptation.
Scripture claims for itself
giving a holy spirit or the mind of Christ simply
by reading and discussing it: there is no PREACHER
or PROFESSOR in the spiritually gifted offices.
In fact, Jesus repudiated the
DOCTORS OF THE LAW because they "take away the key
to knowledge." A HUMAN OPINION is trying to decide
what GOD would have said if He had the benefit of
our education.
"Our desire, therefore, for
ourselves and our brethren would be, that,
rejecting human opinions and the 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;
- 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;
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.
Because using any form of
MUSIC is contrary to the explicity Biblical and
historical connection to Satan and to sexual and
homosexual pagan "worship" in the threskia sense,
it is a HUMAN INVENTION. It has no positive
attributes in the Bible and in a negative sense it
was always the MARK of people who refused to
listen to the Word 'as it had been taught."
Clement of Alexandria Pedagogue 1
- b. AD 150, Athens
- d. between 211 and 215 [B.C. meaning Before
Campbell]
Now, it is incumbent on us to return His love, who lovingly guides us to that life which is best;
........... and to live in accordance with the
injunctions of His
will, not only
fulfilling what is commanded,
........... or guarding against what is forbidden,
but turning away from some examples, and imitating others as much as we can,
and thus
to perform the works of the Master according to
His similitude,
...... and so fulfil what Scripture
says as to our being made in His image and
likeness.
--Gregory of Nyssa on Scripture as
Authority
- b. c. 335, Caesarea, in
Cappadocia, Asia Minor [now Kayseri, Turkey]
- d. c. 394, feast day March
9
-
- And in this assertion they
do not go beyond
the truth;
for we do say so.
- But the ground of their
complaint is that
-
their custom does not admit this,
-
and Scripture does not support it. What then is our reply?
We do not think that it is right to make their prevailing custom the law and rule of sound doctrine.
For if custom is to avail for proof of soundness, we too, surely, may advance our prevailing custom;
........and if they reject this, we are
surely not bound to follow theirs.
- Let the inspired Scripture, then, be our umpire, and
the vote of truth will surely be given to
those whose
dogmas are found to agree with the Divine words.
Augustine of Hippo
(354-430)
In such a case we
ought by all means to adopt it,
especially if it be something in defence of which Scripture can be alleged:
as in the singing of hymns and psalms,
for which we have on record both the example and the precepts of the Lord and of His apostles.
That means Commands,
Examples and Inferences.
John Locke
But since men are so
solicitous about the true church, I would only ask
them here, by the way, if it be not more agreeable
to the Church of
Christ
to make the conditions of her communion consist in such things, and
such things only,
as the Holy
Spirit has in the Holy Scriptures declared, in express words, to be necessary to salvation;
I ask, I say, whether this be
not more agreeable to the Church of Christ
than for men to impose their
own inventions
and interpretations upon others as if they were of Divine
authority,
and to establish by
ecclesiastical laws, as absolutely necessary to
the profession of Christianity, such things as the Holy
Scriptures do either not mention, or at least
not expressly command?
Whosoever requires those
things in order
to ecclesiastical communion, which Christ does not require
in order to life eternal, he may, perhaps,
indeed constitute a society accommodated to his
own opinion and his own advantage;
but how that can be
called the Church
of Christ
which is established upon laws that are not His, and which excludes such persons from
its communion as He will one day receive
into the Kingdom of Heaven, I understand not.
Schism, then, for the same reasons that
have already been alleged,
is nothing else
but a separation made in the communion of the
Church
upon account of something
in divine worship or ecclesiastical discipline that is not any necessary part of it.
Now, nothing in worship or discipline can be necessary to Christian communion
(unity) but
what Christ our legislator, or the Apostles by
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, have commanded
in express words
Campbell was not speaking
of a CHURCH:
IV. That this Society by no means considers itself a Church,
nor does at all assume to
itself the powers peculiar to such a society;
nor do the members, as such, consider themselves
as standing connected in that relation;
nor as at all associated for the peculiar
purposes of Church association;
but merely as voluntary advocates for Church reformation; and, as possessing the powers
common to all
individuals,
who may please to associate in a peaceable and
orderly manner, for any lawful purpose, namely,
the disposal of their time, counsel, and property, as they may see cause.

Tom Olbricht: We are also of opinion that as the Divine
word is equally binding upon all, so all lie under an
equal obligation to be bound by it and it alone; and not
by any human interpretation of it; and that, therefore, no man has a
right to judge his brother, except in so far as he manifestly violates the express letter
of the law. Note 2.
Note 2: Young,
ed., 72.
"Somewhat later Campbell set forth a
larger perspective for taking up the Scriptures so as to
reject ""human opinions and the inventions of men as of
any authority."
First, the Divine word is alone to
be the rule.
Second, the Holy Spirit is to be TEACHER and guide.
Third, Christ alone, as exhibited in the word is the ground
for salvation. Note 3:

1Kings 22:22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
And he said, I will go forth,
and I will be
a LYING SPIRIT in the MOUTH of all his
prophets.
And he said,
Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth,
and do so.
Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the BOOK of the
LORD, and READ:
no one of
these shall fail, none shall want her mate:
for my MOUTH
it hath commanded,
and his SPIRIT
it hath gathered them.
Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with
them, saith the LORD;
My SPIRIT

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.
Theologians and the New Hermeneutic claim that
their OPINIONS are the WORDS of A spirit god.

Thomas Campbell: God as
Persons
"It
appears to be a query with some who profess to
hold this doctrine, whether it be correct to use
the term person when speaking of the above distinct characters in the
divine essence.
As to this, let every man be fully persuaded in
his own mind. In the mean time, all that we
pretend to say in favor of this application of the
term is,
that although the term person (which, in relation to men, signifies a distinct intelligent agency or rational being,
coexisting with others
in the same common nature),
is not manifestly applied in the
Holy Scriptures to any of the Sacred Three: nor indeed can be so applied in strict
propriety,
according to its literal and obvious
acceptation;
........... for when applied to God, instead
of meaning a distinct
intelligent being
........... coexisting with others in the
same common nature,
we must mean by it, if we
think and speak correctly, one and the self-same individual being so existing as to constitute
in and to itself
so many distinct or different, real and relative characters, or subsistences, [The church fathers did not
use "person" but "personae."]
each of which is but
another name for the self-same
individual essence or being considered as
existing in the specified relation of Father, Son and Holy
Spirit.
(Note: Character means an
actor representing a distinct group. Thus God
reveals Himself in flesh, soul or life and
spirit or mind eliminating all other roles.
Subsistences means the status of something
which exists and proves His total, undivided existence or reality.)

Alexander Campbell repudiated John Calvin's Views of
the Trinity primarily as to WORDING because Calvin
repudiated the idea of THREE PERSONS.
1. In the first place I
object to the Calvinistic doctrine of the Trinity for the same reasons they object to the Arians and Socinians.
They object to these, because
their views derogate in their judgment from the eternal glory of the Founder of
the christian religion.
They will not allow the Saviour to have been a
creature,
however exalted, because they conceive this
character is unbecoming
him, and
contrary to the scriptural statements concerning
him.
........... They wish to give him more
glory
........... than they think the Arians are
willing to do.
Now I object to their making
him and calling him an "Eternal Son" because I think that if he were only the Son of God
from all eternity,
he is entitled to very little, if any more glory,
than what the Arians give him.
I wish to give him more glory than the Calvinists give him. They are as far below his real
glory, in my judgment, as the Arians are in
their judgment.
2. But in the second place, I
have an insuperable objection to the Arian and Calvinistic phraseology--On the doctrine of
the first relation existing between the Father and the Saviour of Men,
........... because it confounds things human and
divine,
........... and gives new ideas to bible terms unthought of by the inspired
writers.
The names Jesus, Christ, or Messiah, Only
Begotten Son, Son of God, belong to the Founder of
the christian religion, and to none else.
They express not a relation existing before the christian era, but
relations which commenced at that time.
To understand the relation
betwixt the Saviour and his Father, which existed
before time, and that relation which began in
time, is impossible on either of these theories.
There was no Jesus, no Messiah, no Christ, no Son of God, no Only Begotten, before the reign of
Augustus Caesar.
The relation that was before the christian era,
........... was not that of a son and a father,
........... terms which always imply disparity;
but it was that expressed
by John in the sentence under consideration.
........... The relation was that of God,
........... and the "word of God."
This phraseology unfolds a relation quite different from
that of a father and a son--a relation perfectly intimate,
equal, and glorious.
This naturally leads me to
the first sentence of John. And here I must
state a few postulata.
1. No relation amongst human beings can perfectly exhibit the
relation which the Saviour held to the God and
Father of All anterior to his birth. The reason
is, that relation is not homogenial, or of the same kind with
relations originating from creation.
........... All relations we know any thing of are created,
........... such as that of father and son.
Now I object as much to a created relation as I do to a creature in
reference to the original relation of God and
the word of God.
........... This relation is an uncreated
and unoriginated relation.
2. When in the fulness of
time it became necessary in the wisdom of God to exhibit a Saviour, it became expedient to
give some view of the original and eternal dignity of this wonderful visitant of the
human race.
And as this view must be
given in human
language,
inadequate as it was, the whole vocabulary of
human speech must be examined for suitable
terms.
3. Of these terms expressive
of relations, the most suitable must be, and most
unquestionably was, selected.
And as the relation was spiritual and not carnal, such terms only were eligible
which had respect to mental or spiritual relations. Of this sort there is but
one in all the archives of human knowledge,
and that is the one selected.
4. The Holy Spirit selected the name Word, and therefore we may safely
assert that this is the best,
if not the only term, in the whole vocabulary of
human speech at all adapted to express that relation which existed "in the
beginning," or before time, between our Saviour
and his God.
[A Being and His Word]
These postulata being stated, I proceed to
inquire what sort of a relation does this term
represent? And here every thing is plain and easy
of comprehension. I shall state numerically a few things universally admitted
by the reflecting part of mankind:
1st. A word is a sign or representative of a thought or an idea, and is the idea in an audible or visible form.
........... It is the exact image of that invisible thought which is a perfect secret
........... to all the world until it is
expressed.
2d. All men think or form ideas by means of words or images;
........... so that no man can think without words or symbols of some sort.
3d. Hence it follows that the
word and the idea which it represents, are co-etaneous, or of the same age or antiquity.
It is true the word may not be uttered or born for years or ages after the
idea exists, but still the word is just as old
as the idea.
4th. The idea and the word are nevertheless distinct from each other, though the
relation between them is the nearest known on
earth.
........... An idea cannot exist without a word, nor a word without an idea.
5th. He that is acquainted
with the word, is acquainted with the idea, for the idea is wholly in the word.
Now let it be most
attentively observed and remembered, that these
remarks are solely intended to exhibit
........... the relation which exists between
a word and an idea, and that
........... this relation is of a mental nature,
........... and more akin to the spiritual system than any relation created, of which we know any thing.
It is a relation of the most
sublime order; and no doubt the reason why the
name Word is adopted by the apostle in this
sentence
........... was because of its superior ability to represent to us the divine relation
........... ...........
existing between God and the Saviour
........... ...........
prior to his becoming the Son of God.
By putting together the above
remarks on the term word, we have a full view of
what John intended to communicate.
........... As a word is an exact image of an idea,
........... ...........
so is "The Word" an exact image of the invisible God.
As a word cannot exist without an idea, nor an idea without a word,
........... so God never was without "The Word," nor "The Word"
without God;
or as a word is of equal age, or co-etaneous with its idea,
........... so "The Word" and God are co-eternal.
And as an idea does not
create its word nor a word its idea;
........... so God did not create "The Word," nor the "Word" God.
Such a view does the language
used by John suggest. And to this do all the
scriptures agree.
For "The Word" was made flesh,
Because God is infinite in nature one cannot be
with God without being God. This God Who manifested
Himself in flesh was Christ:
Your attitude should be the
same as that of Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
Who, being in very nature
God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, Philippians 2:6
but made himself
nothing, taking the very nature [b] of a
servant, being made in human likeness.
Philippians 2:7
Or: but laid aside his mighty
power and glory, taking the disguise of a
slave and becoming like men. Philippians
2:7LIV
and in consequence of becoming incarnate,
he is styled the Son of God, the only Begotten of the
Father.
As from
eternity God was manifest in and by "The Word,"
........... so now God is manifest in the flesh.
As God was always with "The Word,"
........... so when "The Word" becomes
flesh, he is Emanuel, God with us.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is
given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6
As God was never manifest but by "The Word,"
........... so the heavens and the earth,
and all things were created by "The Word."
And as "The Word" ever was
the effulgence or representation of the invisible God, so he will ever be known and
adored as "The Word of God."
So much for the divine and
eternal relation between the Saviour and God.
You will easily perceive that I carry these
views no farther than to explain the nature of
that relation uncreated and unoriginated which the inspired language
inculcates.
These views place us on a lofty eminence whence we look down upon the Calvinistic ideas of "eternal filiation," "eternal Generation," "eternal Son," as midway betwixt us and Arianism. From this sublime and lofty
eminence we see the Socinian moving upon a
hillock; the Arian upon a hill; and the Calvinist,
upon a mountain; all of which lose their disproportion to each
other
........... because of the immense height
above them to which this view elevates us.
The first sentence of John I
paraphrase thus: From eternity was the Word, and
the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was, I say, from eternity
with God.
By him all things were
made, and
he became flesh and dwelt among us. He became a
child born and a son of man.
As such he is called Emanuel, Jesus, Messiah, Son of God,
Only Begotten of the Father.
I can give the above views
upon no other authority than my own reasonings. I
learned them from
nobody--I found
them in no book. It is true, indeed, I have held
the idea for sixteen
years
........... that Jesus is called the Son of
God,
........... not because of an "eternal generation," (which I conceive to be nonsense)
........... but because he was born as the
angel described to Mary.
This is now pretty generally received by a great many christians.
Nor would I dispute or
contend for this as a theory or speculation with
any body. I could, indeed, amplify considerably,
and perhaps obviate some difficulties by following
up farther the hints submitted; but such are my
views of the import of the beginning of John's
testimony.
You will remember that I make no systems, and although there are some
abstract reasonings upon terms (as indeed much of
our reasonings about language are) in the
preceding,
it is only for the purpose
of getting into the sacred import of a style from which we have
been proscribed by a speculating philosophy.
I have acceded to our
request with more ease than I could have done,
had it not been for a few prating bodies who are
always striving to undo my influence by the cry of Unitarianism, or Socinianism, or some other
obnoxious ism. From all isms may the Lord save us!
Yours truly, Alexander
Campbell from the Christian Baptist, May 1827)

Thomas Campbell never believed the H.
Leo Boles, Max Lucado, Rubel Shelly tritheism which is
polytheism. Thomas Campbell allowed the use of the
word "person" because he had no other word. However,
he never saw the Holy Spirit as separated from Christ
any more than that his spirit is separated from
Campbell. Jesus Christ put Spirit and Life in His
Words.
Campbell never taught that
the Holy Spirit taught beyond the Scriptures.
[Thomas Campbell noted
elsewhere that: "I am not to be understood as
objecting to the detection and exposure of a false and unscriptural experience, which, from your words, appears
to be the thing intended; for, in your foot note,
page 141, you assert, that we are taught, that
"since those gifts have ceased,
the Holy Spirit now operates upon the minds of
men ONLY BY THE WORD and at the close of said note,
you further assert, that "we are positive of one
point,"
namely, "that the scriptures teach us
NOT the doctrine of physical operations of the
Divine Spirit in order to faith."]
Jesus discounted the flesh
and said MY WORDS are SPIRIT and they are LIFE.
The Words of Christ the Spirit simply will not
"stick" or reside in A human spirit which is not
HOLY or undefiled. In the Old Testament God
promised to give US a NEW, HOLY SPIRIT and the
purpose was so that we would keep His commands.
"Again--Some will say, What
does the expression Holy Spirit mean? Well, in scripture it
stands first for God the Holy Spirit, and secondly for the holy mind or spirit of a
believer--
for illustration, take Peter's words to Ananias,
"Why has Satan tempted you to lie to the Holy Spirit; you have not lied to men, but
to God," (the Holy Spirit.) And the
Saviour says, How much more will your heavenly
Father give A holy spirit (as it should be
translated) to those that ask him.
Again--Praying in A holy spirit. Again--Paul says he
approved himself God's servant "by knowledge, by
long sufferings, by kindness, by a holy spirit'" by a mind innocent of the love of gain, or commerce, or sensuality. Walter Scott
"But an old Hubris tends to bring forth in evil men, sooner or later, at the fated
hour of birth, a young Hubris and that irresistible, unconquerable, unholy spirit, Recklessness, and for the household black Curses, which resemble their parents. - John M. Allegro, The Sacred
Mushroom and the Cross.

THAT WHICH IS PERFECT IS
THE COLLECTED PARTS OF APOSTLES-SCRIBES OF GOD.
It is clear that spiritual truth
came through the writing prophets by the Spirit
of Christ.
Those prophets define baptism clearly and how the TRUE
Sabbath shoulc be conducted.
This defines the ekklesia which Jesus gave us
which has the same function as the synagogue.
Much of Paul's writings point to the Bible or paganism
to show us what NOT to do and to the prophets
about what to do.
The work of Jesus was to FILL FULL those
prophecies:
1Cor. 13:12 For now we see through a glass,
darkly;
but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known.
Paul, like Jesus used figurative language to fool the
dogma pickers.
The same Paul who told the unconverted Jews
(Unbaptized) that they could not read BLACK text on
BROWN paper put it another way: |
1Cor. 2:6 Howbeit we
speak wisdom among them that are perfect:
[Teleios, completeness: of full age,
man, perfect.]
yet not the
wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this
world, that come to nought:
1Cor. 2:7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a
mystery,
even the hidden
wisdom, which God ordained before the world
unto our glory:
1Cor. 2:8 Which none of the princes of this
world knew:
for had they
known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of
glory.
1Cor. 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor
ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which
God hath prepared for them that love him. |
2Cor. 3:12 Seeing then that
we have such hope, we use great plainness of
speech:
2Cor. 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail
over his face,
that the
children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end
of that which is abolished:
2Cor. 3:14 But their minds were blinded:
for until this
day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the
reading of the old testament;
which vail is done
away in Christ.
2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is
read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to
the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and
where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Turn is to be converted
which Luke equated to being baptized. Those
who are baptized are given A
holy spirit as that which remains when "sins are
washed away." Peter called it A
good conscience or consciousness which means a "co-perception"
which means that a PERFECTED disciple can see the
WORD clearly.
2Cor. 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding
as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed
into the same image from glory to glory,
even as by
the Spirit of the Lord.
Those who are born of water and SPIRIT see the
kingdom of God and NOT vaguely |
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all
filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,
and receive with
meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save
your souls.
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and
not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not
a doer,
he is like unto
a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his
way,
and straightway
forgetteth what manner of man he was.
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. |
2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more
sure word of prophecy;
whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed,
as unto a light
that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn,
and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation. |

Tom Olbricht: Note 3: 3.
Young, ed., 73. In
this program may be recognized the larger agenda of the reformation. The FIRST is the sola scriptura principle of both Luther and Calvin.
Sola Scriptura came directly from
God: the Spirit of Christ!
Christ who was the Spirit of the
Old Testament did not change His view of His own
inspired revelations. In them through Isaiah:
And when they shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar spirits (Old, empty
wineskins), and unto
wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people
seek unto their God? for the living to the
dead? Isaiah 8:19
To the law
and to the testimony: if
they speak not
according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20
Isaiah and Hebrews Sola Scripture
If thou turn away thy foot from the
sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the
sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and
shalt honour him,
........... not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own
........... pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: Isaiah 58:13
THEREFORE we
ought to give the more earnest heed (honor or worship)
to the things which we
have heard, lest at
any time we should let them slip. Hebrews 2:1
For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Hebrews 2:2
How shall we escape, if we
neglect so great
salvation; which at
the first began to be spoken by the Lord,
and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; Hebrews 2:3
God also bearing them
witness, both
with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his
own will (pattern)? Hebrews 2:4
Luther's FAITH ONLY was based on SCRIPTURE ONLY.
However, he did not originate the view which began in the
garden of Eden.
But as our would-be wise, new
spirits assert that faith alone saves, and that works and external
things avail nothing, we answer:
It is true, indeed, that nothing in
us is of any avail
but faith, as we shall hear still further. But
these blind guides are unwilling to see this, namely,
that faith must have something which it
believes, that
is, of which it takes
hold, and upon
which it stands and rests.
Thus faith clings to the water, and believes that it is Baptism, in
which there is pure salvation and life;
........... not
through the water (as we have sufficiently stated), but
through the fact
........... that it
is embodied in the Word and institution of God, and
the name of God inheres in it.
Now, if I believe this,
........... what else is it than believing in God as in Him
........... who has given
and planted His Word
into this ordinance,
........... and proposes
to us this external thing wherein we may apprehend such a
treasure?
Tom Olbricht: The SECOND is the Scripture ALONG with the Holy
Spirit principle found
in both Luther and Calvin.
Thomas Campbell wrote the Editor of
the Christian Baptist:
I am not to be understood as
objecting to the detection and exposure of a
false and unscriptural
experience, which, from your
words, appears to be the thing intended; for, in your foot
note, page 141, you assert, that we are taught, that
"since
those gifts have ceased, the. Holy Spirit now
operates upon the minds of men only by the word;"
and at the close of said note, you
further assert, that "we are positive of one point,"
namely,
"that
the scriptures teach us not the doctrine of physical
operations of the Divine Spirit in order to faith."
"And
that, therefore, in the mean time, we ought to reject as
unscriptural,
all invocations or forms of address immediately directed
to the Holy Spirit,
as innovations in the worship of God,
who alone has a
right to prescribe both the matter and manner of his own
worship,
even of that
worship which he will be graciously pleased to accept as
right and pleasing in his sight.
(Memoirs of
Alexander Campbell, Vol. 1, pp. 539-555. Campbell's
"Circular Letter")
With these declarations as I
understand them, I am quite satisfied; for, since
the sacred canon has been completed, it seems to be the
general opinion, at least of
all the most eminent
Protestant writers that have adverted to this
subject,
that we are not to look for any new revelations of
the Spirit;
and that, of course, his saving operations in the
production of faith and repentance,
and of every other gracious effect by which we
are made partakers of a divine nature, (2 Peter
i. 4.)
is by the word
of truth being put into the mind and written upon the
heart, (Heb. viii. 10.)
for this certainly is one of the exceeding great and precious promises
above referred to, (2 Peter i. 4.) by which the
Lord has graciously engaged to save his people, (Heb.
viii. 10.)
As to regeneration
itself, or, as it is commonly termed, the new birth, we
are divinely assured, that it is effected by the word
of truth.
(James
i. 18.) Of his own will begat he us by the word
of truth; and
(1 Peter
i. 23-25.) Being born
again not of
corruptible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which lives and abides
forever.
And this is the word which by the gospel is preached to
you.
No. The Campbells had access to more writings than
John Calvin. Therefore, being literate, they knew that the
Bible FURTHER EXPOUNDS itself to say what most scholars said
before the Reformation.
One suspects that the warning was against THE HOLY SPIRIT
without the WORD. All history agrees that the SPIRIT of
God or the MIND OF CHRIST is ministered when
the word is taught without "further hermeneuting." Note that
it is the Holy Spirit without the oral word and not
the Word which is Spirit and Life PLUS a direct operation of
a third member of the God "family."
Martin Luther, Law and Gospel
7. Note further, that it is his
ministry to which Paul ascribes the preparation of their heart thereon and the inscription which constitutes them "living epistles
of Christ."
He contrasts his ministry with the blind fancies of those fanatics who seek to receive, and dream of
having,
the Holy Spirit without
the oral word; [see the difference/]
who, perchance, creep
into a corner and grasp
the Spirit through dreams, directing the people away from the preached Word and visible ministry.
Look again: Scripture along with the Holy
Spirit principle
found in both Luther
and Calvin. Calvin did
not speak of SCRIPTURE plus THE HOLY SPIRIT!
The Bible personifies THOUGHT,
Truth and Spirit:
For the (1) WORD (Dabar=Logos=Spirit of Christ) of the (2) Lord (Jehovah) is right;
and all his works are done in TRUTH.
Psa 33:4
By the WORD
of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the (3) BREATH (Spirit) of his MOUTH. Psa 33:6
Mouth: Peh (h6310) peh; from 6284; the mouth (as the
means of blowing)
Breath is SPIRIT: Ruwach (h7307) roo'-akh, roo'-akh; from 7306;
wind; by resemblance breath... by resemblance SPIRIT, but
only of a rational being (includ. its EXPRESSION and FUNCTIONS)
First, remember that Jesus said of "spirit"
It is the spirit
that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:
........... the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit,
and they are life. John 6:63
Paul ministered the Holy Spirit by
preaching:
O foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not obey the
truth, before whose eyes
........... Jesus Christ hath been
........... evidently set forth, crucified among you? Galatians 3:1
This only would I learn of you,
........... Received
ye the Spirit by the works of the law,
........... or (Received ye the Spirit) by the
hearing of faith? Galatians 3:2
Paul MINISTERED the Spirit
through preaching: they received the Spirit by listening.
Therefore, Paul was not ministering a THIRD PERSON.
"But Paul says that the Spirit,
through his preaching, has wrought in the hearts of his
Corinthians, to the end that Christ lives and is mighty in them. After such
statement he bursts into praise of the ministerial office,
comparing the message, or preaching, of Moses with that of
himself and the apostles. He says:
"Such confidence have we through Christ to Godward: not
that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything
as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God.
8. These words are blows
and thrusts for the false
apostles [PAGE 227] and
preachers. Paul is mortal enemy to the blockheads who make great boast,
pretending to what they do not possess and to
what they cannot do;
who boast
of having the Spirit in
great measure; who
are ready to counsel
and aid the whole world;
who pride
themselves on the ability to invent something new. It is to be a surpassingly precious
and heavenly thing they are to spin out of their heads, as the dreams of pope
and monks have been in time past.
"We do not so," says Paul. "We rely
not upon ourselves or our wisdom and ability. We preach
not what we have ourselves invented. But this is our boast
and trust in Christ before God,
that we have made of you a divine
epistle; have written upon your hearts,
not our thoughts, but the
Word of God.
We are not, however, glorifying our
own power, but the works and the power of him who
has called and equipped us for such an office; from whom
proceeds all you have heard and believed.
9. It is a glory which every preacher
may claim, to be able to say with full confidence of
heart:
........... "This trust have I toward God in Christ,
that what I teach and
preach is truly the Word of God."
There is a role for PROFESSORS and
Rhetoricians and Sophists but we quoted Luther above to
say that it WAS NOT of ANY value in the spiritual realm:
that is why Jesus repudiated the Doctors of the Law who
might go and make a living in Canon Law:
In short, let him who would be wise, who would boast of great skill,
talents and power, confine himself to things other
than spiritual;
The Super Apostles in Paul's
condemnation of the WIDOW RIDERS: they deny that the Spirit and Life is ministered by
"teaching that which has been taught."

hell as part of the end-time "harp- playing prostitute"
religion.
Playto, Cratylus says "the
part of appropriative, coercive, hunting art which hunts animals, land animals, tame animals, man,
privately, for pay, is paid
in cash, claims to give education, and is a hunt after rich
and promising youths, must--so our present argument
concludes--be called sophistry.
Sophistês 1 [sophizomai]
I. a master of one's craft or art, an adept, of a diviner, Hdt.; of poets, Pind.; of the Creator, Plat.;
metaph., s. pêmatôn an adept in misery, Eur.
2. like phronimos, one who is clever in matters of life, a wise man, in which sense the seven Sages are called sophistai, Hdt.; of
Prometheus, Aesch.
II. at Athens, a Sophist, i. e. a
professor of grammar, rhetoric, politics,
mathematics, such as Prodicus, Gorgias, Protagoras,
Thuc., Plat., etc. At
first the Sophists
were held in honour; but from their loose principles they fell into ill repute, and the
word came to mean,
2. a sophist (in bad sense), a quibbler, cheat, Ar., Dem., etc.
THESE CRAFTSMEN WHO USE HUMAN
SKILLS TO DOCTOR UP THE WORDS OF GOD WILL GO BACK INTO
HELL WITH THE BABYLONIAN WHORE, HER MUSICIANS, HER
INSTRUMENT PLAYERS AND HER "GRINDERS" OR MALE AND FEMALE
PROSTITUTES.
Because Jesus Christ died and
promised to build MY EKKESIA or SYNAGOGUE or school of
the Bible. Any of the human CRAFTSMEN who decided to
help God do His work did NO USEFUL WORK, created
division and were therefore called PARASITES.
The Rest of the
Story: neither Calvin or Luther believed in the neo-Tritheism in churches of Christ under the influence
of Max Lucado and Rubel Shelly.
Tom Olbricht: Since Campbell is from a Calvinistic
background it is appropriate to quote Calvin: See Campbell below
to refute this:
Quotes below:
Note 5: John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion, trans. Henry Beveridge (Grand
Rapids: Eerdmans, 1957) I, ix, 3.
Calvin has a before and after in
his context.
"There is nothing repugnant here to
what was lately said, (chap. 7)
Quoted: that we have no great certainty of the word itself, until
it be confirmed by the testimony
of the Spirit. For the
Lord has so knit together the certainty of his word and his Spirit,
that our minds are duly imbued with reverence for the word
when the Spirit shining upon it enables us there to
behold the face of God; and, on the other hand, we embrace
the Spirit with no danger of delusion when we recognise
him in his image, that is, in his word.
The Spirit does not testify to
us: He has testified in Scripture. Jesus promised
ANOTHER COMFORTER and said "I" will come to you. The
Spirit has a name: to Paul it was "I am Jesus of
Nazareth."
More Campbell below but are you
listening?
"since
those gifts have ceased, the. Holy Spirit now operates upon the minds of men only by the word;"
Calvin continued: "Thus, indeed, it is. God did not
produce his word before men for the sake of sudden
display, intending to
abolish it the moment
the Spirit should
arrive;
........... but he employed the SAME
SPIRIT,
........... by whose agency he
had ADMINISTERED the
word,
........... to complete
his work by the efficacious CONFIRMATION of the word.
"In this way Christ explained to the two disciples, (Luke 24: 27,) not
that they were to reject the Scriptures and trust to their own wisdom,
........... but that they were to UNDERSTAND the Scriptures.
This SPIRIT OF supernatural knowledge is MINISTERED through
preaching. Those who have faith and want to become members
of Christ's TEAM must be baptized.
This I say then, Walk
in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of
the flesh. Gal 5:16
"Throughout the rest of the chapter
'spirit' and 'flesh' are contrasted, the new
and the old nature. We see their antagonism...
Rendal says that through out this section Paul has in
mind 'spirit' and not 'Spirit'; Lightfoot says it in regard
to v. 17...
"The analogy of Scripture shows
that we never use the Spirit as a
means, but we do so use our own 'spirit.'
"So Paul here bids the Galatians
to use in their walk and conversation what is spirit
in its nature, i. e., the reborn, new
man... 'Flesh' and
the ''Holy Spirit' are not a contrast, but 'flesh' and
'spirit' are." (Lenski, Gal. 5:16)
Hear it again:
Without the Word there is no
administration of the Spirit.
As Spirit, Christ completes
and confirms.
The gift of A holy spirit or A
clear conscience or consiousness means "a co
perception." Christ REMOVES sin so that we can see
SCRIPTURE but not to reveal NEW SCRIPTURE.
And Calvin heard it from Paul:
O foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before
whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth,
crucified among you? Gal 3:1
This only would I learn of you,
........... Received ye the Spirit by the works of the
law,
........... or by the hearing of faith? Gal 3:2
Paul delivered and they received
the Spirit by "hearing of faith." The witness is there
when you believe the words. The human SPIRIT is the new
PLACE for worship or giving heed to the Spirit OF Truth.
Are ye so foolish? having begun
in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Gal 3:3
Have ye suffered so many things
in vain? if it be yet in vain. Gal 3:4
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you,
doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Gal 3:5
If God has the power to incarnate
FULL DEITY in Jesus Christ then surely He has the power to
put His Spirit into His Words. They were Spirit and Life
because the SON (word) spoke only what He heard from the
FATHER dwelling in the same person.
It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they
are spirit, and they
are life. John 6:63
Therefore, John Calvin would never
speak of a SEPARATED SPIRIT needed for us to grasp the
meaning of the words of God. The spirit, according to
Greek usage and Walter Scott meant that we received A holy
spirit or in 1 Peter 3:21 a clear conscience or clear
conscience. This "holy" personal spirit must be cleared
from all sin before we can SEE AFAR.
The HOLY SPIRIT as a Divine Being was
always the ONE and ONLY Spirit Who was God.
My Word is my spirit (mental disposition) as the
expression of MY Thought. The thought is the father of my
words.
There was only ONE Lord Jehovah but
many ELOHIM. However, God said that I (Jehovah) am the
ONLY GOD or Elohim:
> But God hath revealed them unto us by
his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things,
yea, the deep things of God. 1 Cor 2:10
For what man knoweth the things
of a man, save the spirit
of man which is in
him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the
Spirit of God. 1 Cor 2: 11
Paul said that God's Spirit is to God
what our spirit is to us: the Holy Spirit was the Mind of
Christ.
Here is the dead give away that
Paul NEVER speaks of the Holy Spirit as a third member
of the family of God. There is a difference between my
FLESH nature and my SPIRIT nature but I am not triplets
or twins.
> Now we have received, not the spirit of
the world, but the spirit which
is of God; that we
might know the things that are freely given to us of
God. 1 Cor 2: 12
Which things also we speak, not
in the words which mans wisdom
teacheth, but which
the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things
with spiritual. 1 Cor 2: 13
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct
him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor 2: 16
Mind is Spirit: Spirit is
Mind.
> Then he said unto them, O fools, and
slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Luke 24:25
And beginning at Moses and all
the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the
things concerning himself. Luke 24:27
> Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1 Pet 1:10
Searching what, or what manner of
time the Spirit of
Christ which was in them did signify, when
it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ,
and the glory that should follow. 1 Peter 1:11
> And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are
they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. Rev 19:9
And I fell at his feet to worship
him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy
fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the
testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy. Rev 19:10
> But their minds were blinded: for until
this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the
reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in
Christ. 2 Cor 3:14
But even unto this day, when
Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 2 Cor
3:15
Nevertheless, when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. 2 Cor
3:16
........... Now the
Lord is that Spirit:
and where the Spirit of the Lord is,
........... there is liberty. 2 Cor 3:17
The Gift of A holy spirit is not the
GIFT of a junior member of the Rubel Shelly Family of God.
Rather, a thing is considered HOLY when it has all
impurities removed from it. Holy means pure or wholly: a
bottle of pure water contains nothing but water.
At baptism we REQUEST a clear
conscience which gives us a clear consiousness or co
perception. God does not ADD something to us but REMOVES
all that is UNholy. Then we can see the Word.
John Calvin continues:
"In like manner, when Paul says to
the Thessalonians, "Quench not the SPIRIT," he does not
carry them aloft to empty
speculation APART from the
word; he immediately
adds, "Despise not prophesying," (1 Thess. 5: 19, 20.)
"By this, doubtless, he intimates
that the LIGHT of the SPIRIT is quenched the moment prophesying (teaching the word) fall into contempt.
How is this answered by those SWELLING ENTUSIASTS, in whose idea the only true
illumination consists, in carelessly laying aside, and
bidding ADIEU to the
WORD of God, while,
with no less confidence than folly, they fasten upon any dreaming notion which may have casually SPRUNG up in their MINDS?
"Surely a very different sobriety
becomes the children of God. As they feel that without the Spirit of God they are
utterly devoid of the light of truth,
so they are not ignorant that the
WORD is the INSTRUMENT by which the illumination
of the Spirit is DISPENSED.
They know of NO OTHER
SPIRIT than the one
who dwelt and spake in the apostles--
........... the Spirit by whose oracles they are
daily invited to the hearing of the word.
Hear it again:
Without the Spirit there is no
LIGHT.
The WORD is the instrument of Spirit LIGHT.
John Calvin Wrote:
Does any one object, that music
is very useful for awakening the minds of men and moving
their hearts? I own it;
but we should always take care
that no corruption creep in, which might both defile the pure worship of God and involve men in superstition. Moreover, since the Holy Spirit
expressly warns us of this danger by the mouth of
Paul,
to proceed beyond what we are there warranted by him is not only, I must say,
unadvised zeal, but
wicked and perverse obstinacy.
"We know that our Lord Jesus Christ
has appeared, and by His advent has abolished these legal shadows.
Instrumental music, we therefore
maintain, was only tolerated on account of the times
and the people, because they were as boys,
as the sacred Scripture speaketh, whose condition
required these puerile rudiments.
But in gospel times we must not
have recourse to these unless we wish to destroy the
evangelical perfection and to obscure the meridian
light which we enjoy in Christ our Lord." (Calvin's
Commentary on the Thirty-third Psalm, and on 1 Sam.
18:1-9).
> Because MUSIC is one of the primary issues
of the new Anti movement, the reader should understand
that the Restoration Movement DID NOT even consider such a
radical institution in the beginning because there was no
instruments in their background.
> Therefore, the church took notice of their
so-called PROFANE HISTORY and saw no reason to change.
> It was ONLY when the musical sectarians
introduced instruments to compete for the traffick
in music that there was any reason to repudiate the
innovation.
It was wilfulness and ignorance which caused one muddied stream to flow
into musical rituals. The same presumed profane history is turned upside down to
FALSELY ACCUSE churches of Christ for NOT
rejecting the clear WATER OF THE WORD of God which
prescribed the synagogue and utterly reudiated the
CHURCH as a PROFANE worship institution.
Calvin Continues: "Profane
nations also had
their ceremonies, such as auguries, supplications, soothsayings, victims, because natural reason
dictated that nothing could be engaged in successfully without Divine assistance;
but God would have His people
bound to Him in another way, so that, when called by
the sound of the
sacred trumpets as
by a voice from
heaven,
they should assemble to holy and pious deliberations. The circumstance of the place also
has the same object.
The door of the Tabernacle was to
them, as if they placed themselves in the sight;
of God.
We will speak of the word dewm, mogned (synagogue) elsewhere. Although it
signifies an appointed
time, or place, and
also an assembly of the people, I prefer translating
it convention, because
God there in a solemn manner,
as if before His sacred tribunal, called the people to witness, or, according to appointment,
proceeded to make a covenant with them.
But when they frequent their sacred
assemblies, musical
instruments in
celebrating the praises of God would be no more suitable
than the burning of
incense, the lighting
up of lamps, and the restoration of the other shadows of the law.
The Papists, therefore, have
foolishly borrowed this, as well as many other things,
from the Jews.
When Paul preached the WORD he
MINISTERED the Spirit. The Scholars who repudiate the
WORD get their light from other scholars and the blind
lead the blind.
Tom Olbricht: Campbell
clearly believed that the Spirit
worked in conjunction with the word in bringing about a proper interpretation
of the Scriptures,
unlike some of his descendants who argued that the Spirit did not
work separate and
apart from the word.
This is quite false!
Thomas Campbell in D & A used the
word "interpretation" only once. He called the church "THE
SCHOOL OF CHRIST" and the act of worship was READING AND
STUDYING THE WORDS OF GOD. He was not concerned with a
HERMENEUTIC interpretation because he grasped that he was
NOT God.
The neo-trinity or Tritheism taught
by Max Lucado and Rubel Shelly and apparently "among the
scholars" is that the Godhead consists of a family of
PERSONS. They are all separated with their own beings.
Therefore, any student of church
history would understand that the leaders meant that the
HOLY SPIRIT PERSON did not have to live in your carnal
body to enable you to understand the WORD.
Our quoted scholars claimed that the
SPIRIT IS DISPENSED when the WORD is studied: Jesus said
"My Words are Spirit and Life" (John 6:63)
Therefore, neither the Campbells
believed in the direct operation of a PERSONAL SPIRIT in
understanding the Word.
Therefore, it is not the DESCENDANTS
who are ignorant of the totality of church history which
defines as HERESY the notion of three separated members of
the Family of God.
Tom Olbricht Again: The second is the Scripture along with the Holy
Spirit principle found
in both Luther and Calvin.
Again, Tom Campbell: The Holy Spirit works only through the
WORD. See how that is reversed?
Jesus said:
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words
that I speak unto
you, they are spirit, and they
are life. John 6:63
> I am not to be understood as objecting to
the detection and exposure of a false and unscriptural experience, which,
from your words, appears to be the thing intended; for, in
your foot note, page 141, you assert, that we are taught,
that
"since
those gifts have ceased, the. Holy Spirit now operates upon the minds of men only
by the word;"
and at the close of said note, you further assert, that
"we are positive of one point," namely,
"that
the scriptures teach us not the doctrine of physical
operations of the Divine Spirit in order to faith."
With these declarations as I
understand them, I am quite satisfied; for, since
the sacred canon has been completed, it seems to be the general opinion, at
least of
all the most eminent
Protestant writers
that have adverted to this subject,
that we are not to look
for any new revelations of the Spirit;
>> and that, of course, his saving
operations in the production of faith
and repentance, and of every other gracious effect by which we are made partakers of a
divine nature, (2 Peter i. 4.)
>> is by the word of truth being put into the mind
and written upon the heart, (Heb. viii. 10.) f
or this certainly is one of the exceeding great and precious promises above referred to, (2 Peter i. 4.) by which the Lord has
graciously engaged to save his people, (Heb.
viii. 10.)
> But, instead of such characters, the debased and stupid practisers of horrid cruelties and abominable idolatries, "do service to them who by nature are no
gods." This, all may know to be the present as it most
certainly was the ancient state of the heathen world, in
the days of the apostles and long before.
Nor can it be shown, that since the gospel was first preached
to the nations, from the day of Pentecost, (Acts
ii. 1,) until this day,
that any portion of the human
family were ever
reformed from their
idolatries and disgraceful immoralities
........... by any supposed physical operations of
the Holy Spirit without the word.
> That where
the word of the truth of the gospel is not published, the Spirit of Christ has nothing to do, is farther evident from John
xvi. 3-14, where his reproving or convincing the world of sin, of righteousness, and
of judgment, is confined to his testifying the things concerning Jesus.
In short, his very character as the
spirit of Christ, as the spirit of
wisdom and revelation, for enlightening, convincing,
comforting and establishing, in the knowledge and belief of the truth, is ascribed to him exclusively as
revealing and testifying the things concerning Jesus.
Compare John xiv. 26, and xvi. 14, 15, with 1 Cor.
xii. 3-13, with Eph. i. 13-18, and 1 Pet.
i. 10-12, and ii. 18, 19, with Jude 14, 15.
Campbell alludes to Isaiah 11 where
the spirit is the spirit OF some quality of Divine
knowledge. These are the SEVEN SPIRITS represented by
the light of the Menorah:
AND there shall come forth a rod
out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots: Isaiah 11:1
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; Isaiah 11: 2
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he
shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither
reprove after the hearing of his ears: Isaiah 11: 3
NEITHER THOMAS CAMPBELL, SCRIPTURE OR THE FIRST USE OF
'TRIAS" TAUGHT A TRINITY.

THOMAS CAMPBELL REFUTING DIRECT OPERATION OF A
HOLY SPIRIT
|
Tom Olbricht: Scripture must be searched to avoid a cheap orthodoxy
obtained through "committing to memory a
catechism, or professing our approbation
of a formula, made ready to out hand, which we
may or may not have once read over"" But the right
interpretation involves more than a careful
reading, important as that is,
A person may, however, by
this short and easy method, become as orthodox as the apostle Paul "without
ever once consulting the Bible, or so much as
putting up a single petition for the Holy Spirit to guide him into all truth, to
open his understanding to know the Scriptures".
From the actual Declaration
and Address:
"Let it here be carefully
observed that the question before us is about human standards designed to be subscribed, or
otherwise solemnly acknowledged, for the
preservation of ecclesiastical
unity and purity,
and therefore, of course,
by no means applies to the many excellent performances, for the Scriptural elucidation and
defense of Divinely-revealed truths, and other instructive
purposes. These, we hope, according to their
respective merit, we as highly esteem, and as
thankfully receive, as our brethren.
"But further, with respect to
unity of sentiment, even suppose it ever so
desirable, it appears highly questionable whether such a thing can at all
be secured, by any expedient whatsoever,
especially if we consider that it necessarily
presupposes in so far a unity or sameness of
understanding.
"Or, will any say, that from
the youth of
seventeen to
the man of fourscore--from the illiterate peasant, up to the learned prelate--all
the legitimate members of the Church entertain the
same sentiments under their respective formulas?
If not, it is still but a mere verbal agreement, a
mere show of unity.
"They say an amen to the same
forms of speech, or of sound words, as they are
called, without having, at the same time, the same
views of the subject; or, it may be, without any
determinate views of it at all.
And, what is still worse,
this profession is palmed upon the world,
as well as upon the too credulous professors themselves,
for unity of
sentiment, for
soundness in the
faith;
when, in a thousand instances, they have, properly
speaking, no
faith at all;
that is to say, if faith
necessarily presupposes a true and satisfactory
conviction of the
Scriptural evidence and certainty of the truth of
the propositions we profess to believe.
This, not PATTERNISM,
was in Campbell's mind. It more properly
defined a CURRICULUM where professors CANNOT
exist without CONFORMING to the prevailing
views. Phds are not EARNED but BESTOWED.
"A cheap and easy
orthodoxy this, to which we may attain by
committing to memory a catechism, or professing our approbation
of a formula, made ready to our hand, which we
may or may not
have once read over; or even if we have, yet may not
have been able to read it so correctly and
intelligently as to clearly understand one
single paragraph from beginning to end, much
less to compare it with, to search and try it by the
holy Scriptures, to see if these things be so.
[No direct spirit
"person" speaking here]
"A cheap and easy orthodoxy
this, indeed, to which a person may thus attain,
without so much as turning over a single leaf of
his Bible,
whereas Christ knew no
other way of leading
us to the knowledge of himself, at least has
prescribed no other, but by searching the Scriptures, with reliance upon HIS Holy Spirit.
A person may, however, by
this short and easy method, become as orthodox as the apostle Paul (if such
superficial professions, such mere hearsay verbal repetitions can be called orthodoxy)
without ever once consulting the Bible, or so much as putting up a single petition
for the Holy Spirit to guide him into all truth, to open his
understanding to know the Scriptures;
Of course, we call upon
God to give us A holy spirit or A clear
consience at baptism:
The like figure whereunto
even baptism doth also now save us (not the
putting away of the filth of the flesh, but
the answer of
(request for) a good conscience toward God,)
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter
3:21
And you cannot escape the
fact that Campbell was speaking of those who
MAKE A PROFESSION of Scripture. In the Bible,
Jesus condemned the Pharisees, Scribes and
Hypocrites. The hypocrites fall under the
classification of rhetoricians, sophists,
singers, musicians and others who are acting the
part of sorcerers. All are classified as
PARASITES because they claim to do priestly
service for others.
Campbell warned of "too credulous professors themselves who PALM
OFF on the world"
a pretense
for speaking or, for heaven's sake, why would
they as sOPHISts charge for teaching what Christ
died to give for free? And it is the PROFFESORS
who speak with "no faith at all" or even without
"putting up a
single petition for the Holy Spirit to guide
him into all
truth."
Campbell, did not say that the SPIRIT must be prayed
for to be able to understand the WORD. He
wonders why the SELF-SELECTED Professors PALM
OFF their revelations of the Spirit without even
seeking the guidance of the Spirit.
Asking for the Spirit of
Christ which Jesus said is the Words of Christ
to guide you does not mean that Campbell
believed that one could not understand without the Spirit.
Rather, if you are searching the Word as Spirit
you ask for discernment. This proves that one is
not involved in "easy orthodoxy" by asking the
preacher or some scholar. The process is WORD
REVEALS SPIRIT and not HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS SCRIPTURE which
cannot otherwise be understood.

II. Express Terms and Approved
Precedents
Tom Olbricht: In a note
at this point in the Young, edited version of the Declaration and Address is inserted a footnote in which Alexander
Campbell stated upon reading the document in proofs stated
to his father,
"Then, sir, you must abandon
and give up infant baptism, and some other practices
for which it seems to me you cannot produce an
express precept or an example in any book of the
Christians 'scriptures!"
One might conclude from this
exclamation of Alexander that the proposed hermeneutic came
as a surprise. If it
did, however, it is not as if Thomas Campbell was the
originator.
We may take Alexander's reaction
therefore to be his assertion of the ramifications of
a rigorously applied express
terms, approved precedent hermeneutic.
I have not been able to discover
the explicit roots of
this hermeneutic. It
may go back as far as the fathers of the church, but its
more modern versions lay in the reformation. In
determining what specific matters were to be adapted,
Ulrich Zwingli (1484-1531) wrote of both the commands of Christ and Biblical
examples. I have not
found as yet, however, a statement in which Zwingli
brought the two together as a clear hermeneutic
principle.
Zwingli was moving but still
believed that parts of the Law were in effect.
"In this matter of baptism -- if
I may be pardoned for saying it -- I can only conclude
that all the doctors
have been in error from the time of the apostles. . . . All the doctors have ascribed
to the water a power which it does not have and the
holy apostles did not teach."[iii]
I. The light of nature showeth
that there is a God, who hath lordship and sovereignty over all, is good,
and doth good unto all, and is therefore to be feared,
loved, praised, called upon, trusted in, and served,
with all the heart, and with all the soul, and with
all the might.
But the acceptable way of
worshiping the true God
is instituted by himself,
and so limited by his own revealed will,
that he may not be worshiped according to the imaginations and devices of men,
or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible
representation,
or any other way not
prescribed in the Holy Scripture.
And Zwingli wanted to get rid of:
"traditional forms or
ceremonies (added) simply on the ground that they were not actually forbidden by
Scripture Commands Examples
Schaff History of the Christian
Church: Zwingli: He
arrived in Zurich on the 27th of the month, and received
a hearty welcome. He promised to fulfil his duties
faithfully, and to begin with the continuous exposition of the Gospel of
Matthew, so as to
bring the whole life of Christ before the mind of the
people. This was a departure from the custom of
following the prescribed Gospel and Epistle lessons,
but justified by the example of
the ancient Fathers, as Chrysostom and Augustin, who preached on whole books. The Reformed Churches reasserted the
freedom of selecting texts; while Luther retained the
Catholic system of pericopes.
Zwingli began his duties in Zurich
on his thirty-sixth birthday (Jan. 1, 1519) by a sermon
on the genealogy of Christ, and announced that on the
next day (which was a Sunday) he would begin a series of
expository discourses on the first Gospel. From Matthew
he proceeded to the Acts, the Pauline and Catholic
Epistles; so that in four years he completed the
homiletical exposition of the whole New Testament except
the Apocalypse (which he did not regard as an apostolic
book). In the services during the week he preached on
the Psalms. He prepared himself carefully from the
original text. He probably used for his first course
Chrysostom' famous Homilies on Matthew. With the Greek
he was already familiar since his sojourn in Glarus. The
Hebrew he learned from a pupil of Reuchlin who had come
to Zurich. His copy of Reuchlin' Rudimenta Hebraica is marked with many notes from his hand.
He made it his chief object "to preach Christ from the fountain," and "to insert the pure Christ into
the hearts.
He would preach nothing but what he could prove
from the Scriptures,
as the only rule of
Christian faith and practice.
This is a reformatory idea; for the aim of the Reformation
was to reopen the fountain of the New Testament to the whole people, and to renew the life of the Church
by the power of the
primitive gospel.
By his method of preaching on entire books he could
give his congregation a more complete idea of the life
of Christ and the way of salvation than by confining
himself to detached sections. He did not at first
attack the Roman Church, but only the sins of the
human heart; he
refuted errors by the statement of truth.
For the classical literature of
Greece and Rome, however, Zwingli had more respect than
Luther.
It should be remarked also that
he was not opposed to images as such any more than to
poetry and music,
but only to their
idolatrous use in churches.
Tom Olbricht: Whatever the case, an English
contemporary of Bullinger, Edward
Dering (1540-1576), a
Puritan, offered what may be one of the earliest written
statements on commands,
examples and inferences, in arguing for the theological
importance of inferences. He insisted that a conclusion
based on Scripture and drawn from "proportion, or
deduction, by consequence,...is as well the Word of God,
as that which is an express commandment or example."
Bullinger: By these
preparatory measures, public opinion was prepared for
the practical application of the new ideas.
The old order of
worship had to be abolished before the new order could be
introduced. The destruction was radical, but
orderly. It was effected by the co-operation of the
preachers and the civil magistracy, with the consent of
the people. It began at Pentecost, and was completed June 20, 1524.
In the presence of a deputation
from the authorities of Church and State, accompanied
by architects, masons and carpenters, the churches of
the city were purged of pictures, relics, crucifixes,
altars, candles, and all ornaments, the frescoes
effaced, and the walls whitewashed, so that nothing
remained but the bare building to be filled by a
worshiping congregation. The pictures were broken and
burnt, some given to those who had a claim, a few
preserved as antiquities. The bones of the saints were
buried.
Even the organs were removed, and the Latin singing of the choir abolished, but fortunately afterwards replaced
by congregational
singing of psalms
and hymns in the vernacular (in Basle as early as 1526, in St.
Gall 1527, in Zurich in 1598).
"Within thirteen days," says
Bullinger, "all the churches of the city were cleared;
costly works of painting and sculpture, especially a
beautiful table in the Waterchurch, were destroyed.
The superstitious
lamented; but the
true believers rejoiced in it as a great and joyous
worship of God." In the following year the magistracy
melted, sold, or gave away the rich
treasures of the Great Minster and the Frauenminster,
chalices, crucifixes, and crosses of gold and silver,
precious relics, clerical robes, tapestry, and other
ornaments. In 1533 not a copper' worth was left
in the sacristy of the Great Minster. Zwingli
justified this vandalism by the practice of a
conquering army to spike the guns and to destroy the
forts and provisions of the enemy, lest he might be
tempted to return.
The same work of destruction
took place in the village churches in a less orderly
way. Nothing was left but the bare buildings, empty,
cold and forbidding. Note 105: Egli, p. 893 (No.
2004, c. 1533). Uetinger declared that between 1524
and 1532 all the treasury of the sacristy was
squandered, and nobody knew what had become of it. "Prorsus nihil supererat."
But, this is a clear BIBLICAL
statement of DOCTRINE: yea, PATTERNISM.
Thomas Campbell followed the clear Biblical pattern of following the Word of God, the common
belief of most of the church Fathers, the founders of
denominations and the beliefs of most protestant
denominations. The scholarly denial of an earlier
formulation is based on a failure to read the Bible and
all of the available evidence. See our collection here.
Letters of St.
Augustin
Letter LV. or
Book II. of Replies to Questions of Januarius. (a.d.
400.)
In such a case we ought by all
means to adopt it,
especially if it be something in
defence of which Scripture can be alleged: as in the singing of hymns and psalms,
........... for which we have on record both
the example and the precepts of the Lord and of His apostles.
In this religious exercise, so
useful for inducing a devotional frame of mind and
inflaming the strength of love to God, there is
diversity of usage, and in Africa
the members of the Church are rather too indifferent in
regard to it;
on which account the
Donstists reproach us with our grave chanting of the divine
songs of the prophets
in our churches,
while they inflame their passions in their revels by the singing of psalms of human
composition, which
rouse them like the
stirring notes of
the trumpet on the battle-field.
But when brethren are assembled in
the church, why should not the time be devoted to
singing of sacred songs,
excepting of course while reading
or preaching (disputatur) is going on, or while the presiding minister prays aloud, or the united prayer of the
congregation is led by the deacon's voice? At the
other intervals not thus occupied, I do not see what
could be a more excellent, useful, and holy exercise
for a Christian congregation.
The evidence that the Law of Silence is
very ancient. Because the use of MUSIC as worship has it
origins in the fall of Lucifer as the King/queen of Tyre,
and Paul's direct command to practice INTERNAL MELODY and
most of church history, it was the instrumentalists who
formed a musical sect based totally upon the premise that
"God hath not said, 'thou halt not'."
Thomas Campbell didn't use the word HERMENEUTIC in his Declaration and Address. One could
believe about anything and discuss it. He used interpretation only one time and that DENOUNCED human interpretation which would repudiate the WORD to be read
and discussed as "church" or rather synagogue. All
interpretation, hermeneutics and exegesis is totally HUMAN
REASONING which contributes to study but cannot define the
Bible "as it has been taught."
We are also of opinion that as the
Divine word is equally
binding upon all, so
all lie under an equal obligation to be bound by it, and
it alone; and not by any human interpretation of it;
and that, therefore, no man has a
right to judge his brother,
except in so far as he
manifestly violates the express letter of the law.
That every such judgment is an
express violation of the law of Christ, a daring usurpation of his throne, and a gross intrusion
upon the rights and liberties of his subjects. Thomas Campbell Declaration and
Address
Jesus repudiated the DOCTORS OF THE
LAW because they "take away the key to knowledge."
Knowledge sums up the SEVEN SPIRITS which would rest on
the BRANCH grown from the STUMP and give spiritual
knowledge. Only by rejecting the Word of God can it be
exegeted or hermeneuted to death. Why? First, the Word was
delivered by the Spirit of Christ in the way He wanted it
delivered. This was not to form fodder for hermeneuts or
exegetes to be given heed too. Second, Scripture promises
that by reading and dialoguing the Word we will see the
TRUE Day Star arise in our hearts. Third, this prevents
any openings for the MANY false teachers to promote
Lucifer, the false day star, the harp- playing prostitute.
She cannot get a word in edgewise or musician- wise or
rhetorician- wise. Fourth, since the Word has been
delivered free of charge (Isa 55) there is no ROLE for the
TRAFFICKERS to play:
For we have not followed cunningly
devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty. 2 Pet 1:16
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such
a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Pet 1:17
And this voice which came from
heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy
mount. 2 Pet 1:18
Sophizo (g4679) sof-id'-zo; from 4680; to
render wise; in a sinister acceptation, to form "sophisms", i.e. continue plausible error: -
cunningly devised, make wise.
Sophism identifies the SERPENT in
the book of Revelation. Sophism or wise, trained
speakers reveals the CUNNING devisers of fables as sOPHISisms.
Therefore, Peter the fisherman rather
than Peter the liberal artists or philosopher, was not
chosen for his hermeneutical skills. This would have
DISQUALIFIED him utterly. Take Heed is one of Paul's
unique WORSHIP WORDS. Peter agrees:
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do
well that ye take heed, as unto a light
that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the
day star arise in your hearts: 2 Pet 1:19
Why Peter?
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the
scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Pet 1:20
For the prophecy came not in old
time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the
Holy Ghost. 2 Pet
1:21 [Which is the
Spirit of Christ]
Peter said that the Word has been
ASSURED to be followed specificially because false
teachers sow discord and create SECTS or HERESIES such as
the music heresy.
BUT there were false prophets also among the people, even as there
shall be false teachers
among you, who
privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even
denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon
themselves swift destruction. 2 Pet 2:1
Seeing godliness as a means of
financial gain is almost always the motive for arriving at
a different interpretation. This is especially if men like
Paul were vocational evangelists. To discredit Paul to the
Corinthians would allow the SUPER APOSTLES, rhetoricians,
singers, actors, musicians and Sophists to creep into the
houses and lead the church astray.
And many shall follow their pernicious (deadly)
ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2 Pet 2:2
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 2 Pet 2:3
Merchandise has the definition emporion or phortion. This was the burden laded by the
clergy and it meant "spiritual anxiety created through
religious ritual." Of course, they cannot TAX you unless
they grind you into powder which is the meaning of
PSALLO or MELODY.
Look again at the outlawing of
private interpreters:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy
of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2 Pe.1:20
Epilusis (g1955) ep-il'-oo-sis; from 1956; explanation, i.e. application: - interpretation.
Epiluo (g1956) ep-ee-loo'-o; from 1909 and
3089; to solve further, i.e. (fig.) to explain, decide: - determine, expound.
That is why the Campbells were
wise enough not to speak of HERMENEUTICS.
The Scriptures speak for themselves
and in SCHOOL they should be "taught as they have been
taught." There is no handle by which professional
scholars, speakers or musicians can get closer access than
the non- professional to help God. That is why the Greek
world honored the herald because "he delivered the message as it
had been delivered to him." However, Jesus fired the
DOCTORS OF THE LAW because they "take away the key to
knowledge" by presuming superior authority. That is why
they are identified as PARASITES.

Martin Luther taught what all scholars taught before
the Pope declared his HIGH CHURCH right to add or
subtract:
16. Now, Paul's thought here is that nothing should be taught and practiced in the
Church
but what is unquestionably
God's Word.
It will not do to introduce or perform anything whatever
upon the strength of man's
judgment. Man's
achievements, man's
reasoning and power, are of no avail save in so far as
they come from God.
As Peter says in his first epistle
(ch. 4:11): "If any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as
of the strength which God supplieth."
Human talent has use ONLY in
ministering. However, the total Word outlaws those who
exegete or hermeneut assuming that God had some very
costly oversights.
In short, let him who would be wise, who would boast of great skill,
talents and power, confine himself to things other
than spiritual;
with respect to spiritual
matters, let him keep his place and [PAGE 230] refrain
from boasting and
pretense. For it is
of no moment that men observe your greatness and
ability; the important thing is that poor souls may
rest assured of being presented with God's Word and works, whereby they may be saved.
"Who also made us sufficient as
ministers of a new
covenant;
not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the
spirit giveth life."
It was not outrageous for the
Campbells to say what had always been said long before
the Reformation.
"Our desire, therefore, for
ourselves and our brethren would be, that,
rejecting human opinions and the 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;
- 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;
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.
[Thomas Campbell noted elsewhere
that: "I am
not to be understood as objecting to the detection and exposure of a false and unscriptural
experience, which,
from your words, appears to be the thing intended;
for, in your foot note, page 141, you assert, that we
are taught, that
"since those gifts have ceased, the
Holy Spirit now operates upon the minds of men
only by the word;"
and at the close of said note, you further assert,
that "we are positive of one point,"
namely, "that the scriptures teach us not
the doctrine of physical operations of the Divine
Spirit in order to faith."]
The Holy Spirit is the Mind of
Christ (1 Cor 2) and the ANOTHER COMFORTER would be
the same Jesus Christ in Spirit form (John 14: 16-8)
"With a direct reference to this
state of things, and, as we humbly think, in a perfect
consistency with the foregoing explanations, have we
expressed ourselves in the thirty-ninth page,
wherein we declare ourselves
ready to relinquish
........... whatever we have hitherto received as matter of faith or
practice,
........... not expressly taught and enjoined in
the word of God,
........... so that we and our brethren might, by
this mutual concession,
return together to the original constitutional unity of
the Christian Church, and dwell together in peace and
charity. By this proposed relinquishment we are to be understood, in the
first instance, of our manner of holding those
things, and not simply of the things themselves;
for no man can relinquish his
opinions or practices till once convinced that they
are wrong; and this he may not be immediately, even
supposing they were so. One thing, however, he may do:
when not bound by an express command, he need not impose them upon
others, by
anywise requiring
their approbation;
and when this is done, the things, to them, are as
good as dead, yea, as good as buried, too, being
thus removed out of the way.
This is consistent with the Greek
thought that rhetoricians, sophists, singers and musicians
pretended to be soothsayers or sorcerers or, as in
Revelation 18, craftsmen or TECHNE. Because Jesus modeled
and Paul commanded that we "teach that which we have been
taught" there is no room for hermeneuts or exegetes. These
were identified as PARASITES.
Tom Olbricht: This implicit hermeneutic drew upon
rules characteristic
of the backgrounds
out of which Campbell
came,
but which he tailored to be
even more serviceable to the undertaking at hand. In this
regard Campbell was not unique in that hermeneutics
are always advanced and modified in regard to the motivating drives of the individuals and groups who
utilize them.

III. The Old and New
Testaments
Campbell also launched upon a major hermeneutical
move in specifying the
New Testament rather than the Old as the basis for
unity.
This decision has precedents,
but is a departure
from basic Reform doctrine.
Campbell declared that all the Scriptures are
normative, but the Old for the Old Testament church
and the New for the New Testament Church.
In fact, this relegation of the Old Testament to a
non-authorial status for Christians, though not extreme,
........... ran counter to the reformed positions of Calvin, Zwingli, Knox, and the Puritans.
Luther, in contrast, found employment for
the Old Testament, but as a counterpoint to the gospel. [We
all do that: Types and Anti-types]
Alexander Campbell rejected
Luther's proposal, commenting pointedly, "There is
no necessity for preaching the law in order to
prepare men for receiving the gospel."
Rarely has any early scholar advocated using the Law as
authority for faith and practice. That is because they grasp
that the "law was added because of transgression."
Therefore, the "laws were not good" but were imposed to
regulate and finally lead Israel into captivity and death. The
Apostolic Constitutions in about the year 205
of those who called themselves the church of Christ.
But Luther wrote:
One is that of the Old
Testament, the other of the New; in other words, the office of Moses, or
the Law, and the office of the Gospel of Christ. He contrasts the glory and power of
the latter with those of the former, which, it is true,
is also the Word of God. In this manner he endeavors to
defeat the teachings and pretensions of those seductive spirits who, as he but lately foretold,
........... pervert God"s Word, in that they greatly extol the Law of
God, yet at best do not teach its right use,
........... but, instead of making it tributary to faith in Christ, misuse it to teach
work-righteousness.
36. No seditious spirit, it is
certain, ever carries out its own precepts, nor will he
ever be capable of doing so,
though he may loudly boast the
Spirit alone as his guide.
Of this fact you may
rest assured. For such individuals know nothing more than the doctrine of works--nor can they rise higher and point
you to anything else.
We have looked at some of the historical
views that the Old Testament is not authority for
Christian Faith and Practice here

Chapter XI.-The Law Abrogated;
The New Testament Promised and Given by God.
But now -(for I have read that
there shall be a final law, and a covenant, the chiefest
of all, which it is now incumbent on all men to observe,
as many as are seeking after the inheritance of God.
........... For the law promulgated on Horeb is now old, and belongs to yourselves alone;
........... but this is for all universally.
Now, law placed against law has abrogated that which is before it, and a covenant which comes after in like manner has
put an end to the previous one;
and an eternal and final law-namely, Christ-has been given to us, and the
covenant is trustworthy, after which there shall be no law, no commandment, no ordinance.
Have you not read this which Isaiah
says: `Hearken unto Me, hearken unto Me,
my people; and, ye kings, give ear unto Me:
for a law shall go forth from Me, and My judgment shall be for
a light to the nations.
My righteousness approaches swiftly, and My salvation
shall go forth, and nations shall trust in Mine arm?
LXX, Isa. li. 4, 5. '

XVIII.-Christians Would Observe the Law, If They Did
Not Know Why It Was Instituted.

Way, the Gentiles in
Another.
26. We must also be on our guard against supposing that what in the Old Testament, making allowance for the condition of
those times, is not a crime or a vice even if we take it
literally and not figuratively,
........... can be transferred to the present time
as a habit of life.
Martin Luther on Law and Gospel
- b. Nov. 10, 1483, Eisleben,
Saxony [Germany]
- d. Feb. 18, 1546, Eisleben
"For we hold that a man is justified
by faith apart from works
of law" (Rom. 3:28)
because he felt it was demanded by the German. The word alone
or only was retained by the Reformers after him because it
seemed to safeguard this important doctrine against such
perversions as might seem to make salvation dependent on human achievement or a reward
for human merit.
"This difference between the Law
and the Gospel is the height of knowledge in
Christendom. Every person and all persons who assume or
glory in the name of Christian should know and be able to state this
difference.
If this ability is lacking, one
cannot tell a Christian from a heathen or a Jew; of such
supreme importance is this differentiation.
This is why St. Paul so strongly
insists on a clean-cut and proper differentiating of
these two doctrines. (Sermon on Galatians 1532)
Paul "found that, especially in the
Church at Corinth, which he had converted by the words
of his own lips and brought to faith in Christ, soon
after his departure the devil
introduced his heresies whereby the people were turned from the
truth and betrayed into other ways....
And this is how it is he comes to
speak in high terms of praise of the ministration of the
Gospel and to contrast and compare the twofold
ministration or message which may be proclaimed in the
Church, provided, of course, that God's Word is to be
preached and not the nonsense of human falsehood and the
doctrine of the devil.
One is that of the Old Testament, the other of the New;
in other words, the office of
Moses, or the Law,
and the office of the Gospel of Christ. He contrasts the glory and power of the latter
with those of the former, which, it is true, is also
the Word of God.
In this manner he endeavors to defeat the teachings and pretensions of those seductive spirits who, as he but lately foretold,
pervert God"s Word,
in that they greatly extol the
Law of God, yet at best do not teach its right use,
but, instead of making it tributary to faith in
Christ, misuse it to teach work-righteousness.
Sermon by by Martin Luther (1483-1546)
John Calvin
- b. July 10, 1509, Noyon,
Picardy, France
- d. May 27, 1564, Geneva, Switz.
Perhaps it was John Calvin rather
than John Locke who "misled" Thomas Campbell into
Dispensational Distinction
"There is then no other argument needed to condemn superstitions, than that they are not commanded by God:
........... or when men allow themselves to worship
God according to their
own fancies,
........... and attend not to His commands,
........... they pervert true religion." Calvin's
Commentaries, 9:414.
He continues:
"Hebrews 9:1. "Then verily the first",
&c. After having spoken generally of the abrogation of the old covenant, he now refers specially to the
ceremonies. His object is to show that
........... there was nothing practiced then to which Christ's coming has not put an end.
They, while condemning superstition, left untouched a multitude of
ceremonies
which God had enjoined, and which
were useful and appropriate to an age of tutelage; our business has been to correct
numerous rites which had either crept in through
oversight, or been turned to abuse and which,
moreover, by no means accorded with the time.
For, if we would not throw everything into confusion,
we must never lose
sight of the distinction between the old and the
new dispensations,
and of the fact that ceremonies, the observance of
which was useful under the law, are now not only superfluous, but
vicious and absurd.
But in regard to the former, it is
plain that
........... they are destitute of authority from the scriptures,
........... as well as of any approved example of such intercession; while, as to the
latter,
The Formula of Concord, 1576
We believe, teach, and confess that
the distinction of the
Law and of the Gospel,
as a most excellently clear light, is to be retained
with special diligence in the Church of God,
........... in order that the Word of God, agreeably
to the admonition of St. Paul, may be rightly divided.
It should be obvious that while
scholars are made or unmade by their peers, the use of
human reasoning to define the Bible, and the use of false
quotations to prove the scholarly replacement for God's
Word, may have its role in a circle of scholarship which
might include phrenology. However, to attempt to destroy a
body of believers and inculcate a new postmodern view
based on false quotations and poor reasoning validates
Jesus' firing the doctors of the Law, Paul's teachings and
the almost 100% view of church theologians that
rhetoricians, sophists, singers and musicians are the
SORCERERS of John's Revelation and are defined in the
Greek world as parasites.
There simply is no stirrups on the
church by which those who do not "teach the Word as it has
been taught" can ride on the backs of widows and the
"audience" who are quite capable of reading the Word.
