Wade Hodges: "I’ve been asked a number of times what I hoped would come out of the reconciliation and unity celebrations that occurred at events like the Tulsa Workshop and NACC. I kept saying I hoped it would lead to some concrete demonstrations of unity beyond getting together for a worship assembly."THE PRAYER FOR UNITY INSISTS THAT YOU COME OUT OF THE WORLD MARKED BY MUSIC TO SILENCE THE VOICE OF THE LAMBS.
This is the common method of those seeking "unity" between the Church of Christ and the NACC which organization also represents the instrumental "churches of Christ" a term added while non-instrumental churches of Christ existed never "unioned" with the Disciples of Christ and the churches who sected out and became a separate group in 1927 and finalized in 1971. During that time a host of "unity" meetings have been formed all tasked to judge and anethematize the Church of Christ which never used instruments from the beginning and continue to rest evil men's effort to, as the say, "infiltrate and divert" peaceable churches into "theaters for holy entertainment."
The Tulsa Workshop has always been populated by people intending to or having twisted all Scripture and church history to "steal the church houses of widows." This has always been under the "white paper" publishing, "unity meetings" and sending agents to facilitate the deliberate sowing of discord to get another "number" in the instrumental or apostate sect.
UNITY QUESTS ALWAYS REPUDIATE THE DIRECT COMMAND AND CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS OF JESUS.

In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul uses the pagan religion and equates "speaking in an unknown language to playing a LIFELESS INSTRUMENT." He says that WE do not use CARNAL WEAPONS to fight against the principalities and powers in high place. If you are engage in a "love in" you simply do not know that you are either a pilgrim in a hostile world dominated by evil powers.according to the course of this world,

And let one go straightway [255] and fetch for Demodocus the clear-toned lyre which lies somewhere in our halls.” So spoke Alcinous the godlike, and the herald rose to fetch the hollow lyre from the palace of the king. Then stood up masters of the lists, nine in all, men chosen from out the people, who in their gatherings were wont to order all things aright. [260] They levelled a place for the dance, and marked out a fair wide ring, and the herald came near, bearing the clear-toned lyre for Demodocus. He then moved into the midst, and around him stood boys in the first bloom of youth, well skilled in the dance, and they smote the goodly dancing floor with their feet. And Odysseus [265] gazed at the twinklings of their feet and marvelled in spirit. But the minstrel struck the chords in prelude to his sweet lay and sang of the love of Ares and Aphrodite of the fair crown, how first they lay together in the house of Hephaestus secretly; and Ares gave her many gifts, and shamed the bed [270] of the lord Hephaestus. But straightway one came to him with tidings, even Helius, who had marked them as they lay together in love. And when Hephaestus heard the grievous tale, he went his way to his smithy, pondering evil in the deep of his heart, and set on the anvil block the great anvil and forged bonds [275] which might not be broken or loosed, that the lovers might bide fast where they were. But when he had fashioned the snare in his wrath against Ares, he went to his chamber where lay his bed, and everywhere round about the bed-posts he spread the bonds, and many too were hung from above, from the roof-beams, [280] fine as spiders' webs, so that no one even of the blessed gods could see them, so exceeding craftily were they fashioned. But when he had spread all his snare about the couch, he made as though he would go to Lemnos, that well-built citadel, which is in his eyes far the dearest of all lands. [285] And no blind watch did Ares of the golden rein keep, when he saw Hephaestus, famed for his handicraft, departing, but he went his way to the house of famous Hephaestus, eager for the love of Cytherea of the fair crown. Now she had but newly come from the presence of her father, the mighty son of Cronos, [290] and had sat her down. And Ares came into the house and clasped her hand and spoke and addressed her: “Come, love, let us to bed and take our joy, couched together. For Hephaestus is no longer here in the land, but has now gone, I ween, to Lemnos, to visit the Sintians of savage speech.

The Persians do not erect statues nor altars, but, considering the heaven as Jupiter, sacrifice on a high place. They worship the sun also, whom they call Mithras, the moon, Venus, fire, earth, winds, and water. They sacrifice, having offered up prayers, in a place free from impurities, and present the victim crowned.
After the Magus, who directs the sacrifice, has divided the flesh, each goes away with his share, without setting apart any portion to the gods; for the god, they say, requires the soul of the victim, and nothing more. Nevertheless, according to some writers, they lay a small piece of the caul upon the fire.

For whatever it means in this discussion, using "that which is written" is the direct command, approved examples, historic practice and necessary inference if you understand that ekklesia - synagogue is a school of the Bible and not a worship center. That's good because the Bible is not metrical was never "sung" tunefully nor congregationally until after the Reformation.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth:
It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away,
the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
The Holy Spirit as Comforter is Jesus Christ the Righteous. While in Spirit He had to be SEEN and HEARD by Paul to qualify him to speak FOR Jesus Christ. Those who claim the spirit told them to lie about instruments are hearing delusions which are marked by LYING WONDERS which speaks of the performing arts.

For those at Tulsa who had the "spirit" tell them that the instrumental curse of the worship of the starry host in burning the goats (cappella) was now GOD'S COMMAND to add instrumental praise and we had better not disobey, Jesus and all recorded history and mental hospitals prove that NO MAN hears the Word of God unless the Son has revealed them:
John 3:32 What he hath seen and heard, of that he beareth witness;Eph 2:3 Among whom also WE all had OUR conversation in times past
and no man receiveth his witness.

"The 'sounding gong and tinkling cymbal' used in such worship are mentioned in a derogatory sense in 1 Corinthians 13:1; but the religious outcry itself is dealt with more directly. It is essential that we understand that much of the shouting involved in the rite was the specific function of women. Euripides describes the advent of Dionysiac religion to Thebes thus: 'This city, first in Hellas, now shrills and echoes to my women's cries, their ecstasy of joy'

There were always TWO SPACES defined by Moses so that the Israelites who were sentenced back to Babylonia because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. Moses reminded them of the TWO SPACES they would have learned from their place of origin and enforced by the Israelites false worship in Egypt for 430 years. The ruler of the WORLD or Kosmokrator or Satan invated the Spiritual Space as the "singing and harp playing prostitute" in the garden of Eden. The Adams were cast out into the time-space first called the Cosmos by Pythagoras who learned the Greek and modern "worship" from both Babylon and Egypt. You can never doubt this because we know what the Israelites did in Egypt, at Mount Sinai and we know what Paul, John and Peter knew as they gave direct commands to keep us from walking IN THE WORLD.
The Name of the Holy Spirit OF Christ is naturally "Jesus Christ the Righteous." Why would Tulsa build on the foundation of people who have a "spirit" tell them to REPRODUCE the Curse imposed BECAUSE of musical idolatry?
Because Jesus said MY WORDS are SPIRIT we can conclude that Spirit does not speak in METER as the word means.

Pythagoras is said to have been the first philosopher to apply the term cosmos to the Universe, perhaps from application to the starry firmament.
You will remember that Stephen identified the musical idolatry at Mount Sinai as the sin for which God abandoned Israel "to worship the starry host."
Cosmos:Music, Apollo taught divination and prophecy. It is common to hear the term "music of the spheres" and read of Pythagoras and his school, who laid the foundations of our knowledge of the study of harmonics—how strings and columns of air vibrate, how they produce overtones, how the overtones are related arithmetically to one another, etc.
Apollo Divination Lucian Prophecy
In theology, the term can be used to denote the created Universe, not including the creator. The Septuagint uses both kosmos and oikumene for the inhabited world. In Christian theology, the word was also used synonymously with aion to refer to "worldly life" or "this world" as opposed to the afterlife.
The cosmos as originated by Pythagoras is parallel to the Zoroastrian term aša, the concept of a divine order, or divinely ordered creation.

THE EVIL WORLD BELONGS TO SATAN: HIS PREACHERS FILL THE WORLD. THEY ARE FALSE SEED
Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables because the truth had been hidden from the foundation of the world.
Jesus called these Scribes and Pharisees--preachers of the world order--hypocrites. He quoted both Isaiah and Ezekiel 33 where he MARKS them as teachers, singers and instrument players. He said that they have NO RIGHT to hear the Words of God. Jesus does not even PRAY for them. He does not want them to hear the truth. Therefore, the story of the "locusts" or "muses" in Revelation shows how God holds the ungodly captive by the same speakers, singers and instrument players he calls SORCERERS in Revelation 18. They are agents of the Babylon Mother of Harlots just as were the evil race outside of the garden.
John 17:9 I pray for THEM: I pray not for the world,
.......... but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

Now, that the WORLD has been excluded, the Spiritual kingdom is held together by the NAME and the WORDS which Jesus Christ has given. Those are contained in the prophets and apostles.
2 Peter 1 shows that their MARK is that they do not teach that which was validated once for all times and left for our memory.

John 17:12 While I was with them in the world,
.......... I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept,
.......... and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;
.......... that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Christ, the Rock defined the Qahal, synagogue or church of Christ in the wilderness:
It was INCLUSIVE of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word of God handed down from MosesIt was EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental rejoicing. The rejoicing word translated alarm or triumph over would not have to be outlawed for people OF TRUTH.
In time each REST day quarantined the godly people FROM the worship of the starry host by the tribe of Levi whose father warned us against in Genesis 49. The assembly is defined by the Hebrew h4744 Miqra.
The Synagogue is defined in clear terms and defines the Church of Christ with the addition of the Lord's Supper as an act of evangelism. John Calvin spoke of Restoring the Church of Christ and defined the Church of Christ in the wilderness.
The vocal or instrumental rejoicing is left as a MARK of the Son of Perdition who claimed to be a FRIEND of Jesus: something like Judas wanting a unity meeting with those who understand the Word of God. The Dead Sea Scrolls version of Psalm 41 makes it clear that the perverse Levites as an old Egyptian cult would attempt to TRIUMPH over Jesus. Paying Judas whose Judas bag was "for carrying the mouthpieces of wind instruments" would eventially fail but MUSIC is left as the MARK.
See how the Sons of Perdition try to silence Jesus with music. In fact, music derived from mystery meant in the worship of the starry host and always "making the lambs dumb before the slaughter." Music was always called SACRED VIOLENCE because it was to silence the voice of the victim. Sure works with all of those new silly praise songs. In fact the SOP Jesus fed Judas to cause Satan to enter into him has the same root meaning as PSALLO. Psallo was invented by the Disciples long before the NACC but it is still the only weapon they have to try to use the violence and perversion word into the "worship" of peaceable Churches of Christ.
John 17:13 And now COME I TO THEE;
.......... and these things I SPEAK in the world,
.......... that they might have my joy FULFILLED in themselves.
CONTRARY TO THE POLYTHEISTS AT TULSA THE SON OF GOD IS THE WORD OF GOD.
Only those NOT of the world can possibly receive the Written words of the Living Word. In 2 Corinthians 3 Paul tells the Jews that they were blinded at Mount Sinai and would not be able to read BLACK text on BROWN paper until they converted or were baptized into Christ.
John 17:14 I have given them
.......... THY WORD; and
.......... the WORLD hath HATETH them,
.......... because they are not of the world,
.......... even as I am not of the world.
Based on the Keynoters: the Alpha Billy Goats of the hill for "one hour with the king" of the World, the Tulsa Workshop thinks that to achieve unity with the NACC which is a denomination rejected by Godly Christian churches is to dredge up all of the HATE mongers against the ANTI-instrumentalists who will neither bow to Baal while they pipe or refuse to STOP teaching the Word which no one can misunderstand without delusions form God.
The TULSA WORKSHOP was populated by people active in confiscating churches of Christ for the INSTRUMENTAL group under the management of the NACC. David Faust, then President of the NACC, travelled the UNITY meetings but then presented his full "white paper" full of black lies defending instruments. I hate to tell these guys but ALL of their proof examples using PSALLO as justification for sowing discord are by older males plucking the harp to seduce younger males: that was the wrath or ORGE Paul warned about if the women (or effeminate males) waved unholy arms.

Apparently all you need to get on the program is to deliberately misteach or be STRONGLY DELUDED for having rejected all of the Word of God. The MARK of strong delusions is exactly the musical performance with or without instruments. The PRAISE GROUPS are defacto instrumental: ACappella is a steal word to fool the foolish who know that "a cappella" identifies the castrated opra "musical worship team" the Pope infiltrated into the Sistine Chapel where no instruments were permitted in the Pope's presence. So, ACappella is a "legalistic end run" as a way to ge the effeminate -- always emasculated -- praise singers which Paul identified as DOGS and excluded from worship IN THE SPIRIT. What they do is called Body Worship and is outlawed and ALWAYS marked as appealing to the gender-confused. What they were doing was stroking all of your nerve endings (all) to make you "feel something" which the most ignorant simple simon knew what science knows: it shuts down your logical (Logos) or rational mind and PREVENTS you from being able to distinguish that people like Al Maxey is spreading hate and utterly Bible illiteracy.

You should grasp that this was founded and continues to be an INFILTRATE AND DIVERT movement: while claiming to represent the Church of Christ, they HAND PICK those who have already betrayed their own congregation or who continually gibber HATE crimes against those who will NOT use instruments and will NOT stop teaching what any Simple Simon reader knows by reading Genesis to Revelation and all recorded history which MARKS religious music and musicians with a MARK that will never rub off.
Believe me: no one could INTENTIONALLY be that Ignorant of ALL RECORDED HISTORY. They are either DELUDED and have an UNholy spirit or they are promoting the "carnal weapons" of the principalities and powers in high places.

When the watching world see those who BELIEVE in the use of instruments in the School of the Word uniting with those who BELIEVE in the use of instruments in the School of the Word why would anyone think that this TRUMPS seeing both groups speaking where Christ spoke and being silent where He was silent.

that the world may know that thou didst send me,
and lovedst them, even as thou lovedst me.
In John 14 the SON does not originate any words. The Words are the thoughts of the Father which Jesus said dwelled within him. Neither does the SPIRIT speak any new words. The Father thinks, the Spirir Breaths and the Son articulates audible words.
John 17:24 Father,
I desire that they also whom thou hast given me be with me where I am,
that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
John 17:25 O righteous Father, the world knew thee not, but I knew thee;
and these knew that thou didst send me;
John 17:26 and I made known unto them thy name,
and will make it known;
that the love wherewith thou lovedst me may be in them, and I in them.
