1 Corinthians 14 Speaking in Tongues

Speaking in tongue is gibberish, singing and playing instruments 10.26.23

1Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,
        and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

This is not speaking as in the command to SPEAK one to another to teach and comfort. Sounding brass and tinkling cymbals here are identifying marks of people who have NO LOVE. Even if they COULD speak all of the languages in the world there would be no love. The command is to SPEAK or LOGOS the Word of Christ which is the opposite of rhetoric, singing or playing instruments. Speaking in the tongues of angels was IN FACT making music in tongues.

Aristoph. Birds 724
If you recognize us as gods, we shall be your divining Muses, through us you will know the winds and the seasons, summer, [725] winter, and the temperate months. We shall not withdraw ourselves to the highest clouds like Zeus, but shall be among you and shall give to you [730] and to your children and the children of your children, health and wealth, long life, peace, youth, laughter, songs and feasts; in short, you will all be so well off, [735] that you will be weary and cloyed with enjoyment.

If you are a rhetorician, singer or instrument player John in Revelation 18 calls you a sorcerer: if you are a sorcerer or witch:

Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Aggelos ,  of a loquacious person 2.  generally, one that announces or tells, e.g. of birds of augury, Il.24.292,296; Mousōn aggelos, of a poet,

Paul will define a prophet as Teaching the Word of God with Speaking: Logos or opposite poetry or music. These are the Locusts or music Apollo unleashed and John calls Sorcerers in Revelation 18 working for the Babylon Mother of Harlots.

1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

Salp-igx , iggos, hē, A. war-trumpet hupai salpiggos by sound of trumpet, S.El.711, cf. Ar.Ach.1001; also apo s. X.Eq.Mag.3.12, Plb.4.13.1.

The trumpet was for sending signals: if someone makes music it might getyou killed:

Xen. Cav. 3.11 In the sham fight when the regiments pursue and fly from one another at the gallop in two squadrons of five regiments, each side led by its commander, the regiments should ride through one another. How formidable they will look when they charge front to front; how imposing when, after sweeping across the Hippodrome, they stand facing one another again; how splendid, when the trumpet sounds and they charge once more at a quicker pace!

[12] After the halt, the trumpet should sound once more, and they should charge yet a third time at top speed; and when they have crossed, they should all range themselves in battle line preparatory to being dismissed, and ride up to the Council, just as you are accustomed to do.

Paul spoke LOGOS in clear conversational style because the purpose was to TEACH the Word of Christ.

Paul is warning about pagan rituals which involved the actual buring of bodies including the Jews in Jerusalem. Therefore, paul repudiates both Judaism and paganism where loud music helped drown out the screams so the priests could hear the voice of Molech etal.

Plato in Cratylus mystically connects her name (Rhea) with the idea of 'flowing' (from the Greek reo--'to flow') [Rheology, for example, is the science of fluid flow.], meaning thereby simply 'that fontal power by which she contains in transcendent union the divisible rivers of life'. Rhea, is, therefore, the 'mother of lives,' the mystical Eve [Zoe], the 'mother of all living.' Proclus (Theol. Plat. Taylor's ed., i.267) says that according to Orpheus, 'This Goddess, when considered as united to Saturn by the most exalted part of her essence, is called Rhea; but considered as producing Jupiter, and together with Jupiter unfolding the total and partial orders of the Gods [i.e., the powers of the Sensible World], she is called Ceres.' This is a very important distinction to bear in mind. Now Rhea, as Ceres, in Hymn XIV, is called 'brass-sounding' and 'drum-beating'. This has reference to the mystical results of certain sounds and rhythm, part and parcel of what the Hindus call Mantravidyâ. I remember reading a curious old French book in the Bibliothèque de la Ville of Clermont-Ferrand, one of the books confiscated from the Minime Monastery of the same town, at the time of the Revolution. This work dealt with the magical properties of music, and described for what especial purposes the various instruments of music were used in the Temple-service of the Jews. Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. The Ghebers of Hebron 2 Hoaea, xii. 4 derives the name Inracl from Sarah to contend, to fight, and El = God of Fire. — Gen. xxxii. '28. Asarians, Asriel, Israel, a name of the War god {Exodus, xiii. 21, 22, xiv. 25), Saturn and the Sun. The Fire-god Azar was the God of war, and M'irs was the Sun. — Macrob. I. xvii. OS But these fire-worshippers carried with them the arks of Moloch and Khiun (Life-god), their Adon, and they had, like the other peoples of the Delta, their Mysteries, which the priests instituted. They took with them from Phoenicia, probably, a certain knowledge of fixed vocal signs; and it would not be safe to deny to Syria the possession of some sort of (Syrian) hieroglyphs Remphan, (hrem-fan') is the King James Version of the Bible's rendering of the Greek word variously appearing in Acts 7 verse 43 as Ρομφα, Ρεμφάν, Ρεμφαμ, Ραιφαν, and Ρεφαν. It is part of a quotation from Amos 5 verse 26 where the Septuagint's reading raiphan or rephan stands the Hebrew Chiun or Kewan. The Greek forms are probably simple mistakes for the Hebrew, k (qoppa) having been replaced by r (resh) and ph substituted for v (yod). Kewan is probably the Old Babylonian Kayawanu, the planet Saturn, another (the Akkadian) name for which is Sakkut, which appears as Siccuth in the earlier part of the verse. THE MUSIC AT THE ARCANE RITES. Iamblichus III In addition to these things you remark as follows: "So also certain others of these ecstatics become entheast or inspired when they hear cymbals, drums, or some choral chant, 21 as, for example, those who are engaged in the Korybantic Rites, those who are possessed at the Sabazian festival and those who are celebrating the Rites of the Divine Mother." 21. Some exhibition of this kind is described by the Apostle Paul in the first Epistle to the Corinthians. "If," says he, "the whole assembly come together to the same place and all prattle in tongues, and common men should come in, or unbelievers, will they not say that you are raving?" Hence he counsels that only two or three should speak in turn, and one interpret; but if nobody present is capable of this, they should keep silence, and speak only to themselves and to God:        "for not of tumult is he a god, but of tranquillity." (Ovid; Fasti IV,        "The attendants beat the brass, and the hoarse-sounding hides. Cymbals         they strike in place of helmets, tambourines for the shields; the pipe yielded its Phrygian notes.") 22. The Korybantes are variously described. Their cult was identified or closely allied to that of the Kabeirian divinities, and that of the Great Mother. It was celebrated in the islands of the Aegean Sea and in Phygia. Music, dancing, processions, and ecstatic frenzy were characteristics. [The Fruits in Amos and Revelation 18] Amos 8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. Amos 8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 23. Sabazios, Sabaoth, or Sabbat, the god of the Planet Saturn, was better known as Bacchus or Dionysos, and was also styled in Semitic countries, Iao or Yava. His worship was more or less associated and identified with that of the Great Mother, under various designations, and it was characterized by phallephoric [carrying the penis] processions, dances, mourning for the slain divinity, and the Watch Night. It came from Assyria as its peculiar symbols, the ivy or kissos, the spotted robe or Nimr, and the Thyrso, indicate. The name Zagreus the Kissos and nimr remind us of Kissaia or Asiatic Ethiopia, and the Zagros mountains occupied by the Nimr. Assyria was called "the land of Nimrod." -Amos VIII. Because God turned Israel over to worship the starry host whatever they called their god in the Monarchy he/they was not the God of Abraham.  Christ came to PUT DOWN that evil system and not replace it with another worship patternism.

 
Paul in reinforcing what he and other Jews had practiced from the wilderness onward by attending the synagogue which quarantined the godly people from the Civil-Military-Clergy system turned over to worship the starry host.  Both the laded burden and the REST Jesus gave us stops all of the rhetoric, singing or playing instruments.

From the wilderness onward the only reason for collecting the godly people into an assembly was to let them REST or free them from the almost-universal religionism documented on clay tablets and beyond.  They were permitted to collect in their local precinct to READ and REHEARSE the Word of God

This did not include the sacrificial system:

Isaiah 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
Isaiah 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
Isaiah 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Isaiah 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Isaiah 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

On the contrary, the Qahal, synagogue or church in the wilderness was for reading and discussing the Word of God.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:
        though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
        though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Isaiah 1:20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword:
         for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it

The New Testament EXCLUDES all of the Hypocritic arts and crafts which Christ in Ezekiel 33 names as rhetoricians, performermance singers and instrument players. That excludes doing anything as entertaining to ASSIST the Word of Christ. Again, the purpose driven purpose is to learn and even if you had a Symphony you cannot find PRAISE TEAM performing FOR and replacing the assembly:

1Corinthians 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him,
        in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
1Corinthians 1:6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

Utterence is inclusive of that which is written for our learning:

Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith;
        that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians 3:18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth,
        and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ,
        which passeth knowledge,
        that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

We know that no preacher, singer, song composer or musical performer can reveal the testimony of Christ.

1Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently,
        who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1Peter 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time
        the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
        when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

The prophecies by the Spirit OF Christ have value when they have been fulfilled or perfected by Jesus of Nazareth whom God made to be both Lord and Christ for that purpose:

2Peter 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:
2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Peter 1:21 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

The great dragon is absolutely marked or identified if they compose their own "waters of their word."

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,
        and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
        and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
        which keep the commandments of God,
        and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him.
        And he said unto me, See thou do it not:
        I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren
        that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God:
        for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

1Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren,         by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,	Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime         were written for our learning,         that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures         might have hope.
that ye all speak the same thing,         and that there be no divisions among you;	Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation         grant you to be likeminded one toward another         according to Christ Jesus:
but that ye be perfectly joined together         in the same mind and in the same judgment.	Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth        glorify God,        even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

When Paul calls the assembly he uses "gather, assemble or come together." These are forms of "synagogue." The synagogue was well established in much of the world and was devoted wholly to reading and understanding the Word of God (only).  Both Jew and Gentile were ready for Jesus Christ. The pattern defined for the church in the wilderness never changed:

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them,
        that they abstain from pollutions of idols,
        and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

This was not be a problem because the Gentiles understood the Jew's views.

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 "discussion" was by the presiding elder who explained any difficult passage. This was the patern given to Timothy and did not change in historic Christianity.

Romans 15:18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things
        which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Romans 15:19 Through mighty signs and wonders,
        by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum,
        I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Romans 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel,
        not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation:

1Timothy 4:11 These things command and teach.
1Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth;
        but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation,
        in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1Timothy 4:13 Till I come, give attendance to [public] reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1Timothy 4:15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them;
         that thy profiting may appear to all.
1Timothy 4:16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine;
        continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself,
        and them that hear thee.

Women were often the priestesses in pagan cults which intended to make certain that unbelievers who came for an oracle did not leave town with his family's food money.  Paul makes them understand that church is not a schism or an orchestra divided into the different performing roles in all of paganism.  There were no speaking roles other than read and explain "that which is written for our learning" (Romans 15).

Silencing the women would not put them in an inferior state but put them in the same status as the males. Men had often attended synagogue school from their youth and would be able to dialog with question and answer so that it did not detract from READING the word of God for LEARNING and COMFORT.

 Paul is writing specificially to correct divisions within the church.

Paraka^leō , A. “-kalesō” LXX Jb.7.13, al.:—call to one, X.An.3.1.32.
II. call in, send for, summon, Hdt.1.77, Ar.V.215

Speak in connection with the Logos excludes all of the metrical styles

legō opp. ouden legei has no meaning, no authority, “ouden l. to sōphronōs traphēnai” Ar.Eq.334, cf. V.75; ouden legeis nonsense! Id.Th.625; but ouden legein, also, say what is not, lie, Id.Av.66, Pl. Ap.30b

Paul is defining the collective assembly and in Romans 15 defines the function of the synagogue: it excludes all of the self-pleasing things used to create mental excitement and then commands that we speak "that which is written for our learning."  While divisions about "doubtful disputations" would arise Paul excluded these opinions in Romans 14 because they have no bearing on the way the ekklesia or church is conducted.

1Corinthians 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions [Skhis-ma] among you; and I partly believe it.

1Corinthians 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts,
        but rather that ye may prophesy.

[Explain the prophets and the prophecies made perfect and recorded by the apostles)

1Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men,
         but unto God: for no man understandeth him;
         howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

You will just be speaking into the air and not to the true God: Since the pretend "gods" did not exist only God could understand them.

Mustēri-on , to, (mustēs, mueō)
A. mystery or secret rite: mostly in pl., ta m. the mysteries, first in Heraclit.14, cf. Hdt.2.51 (of the mysteries of the Cabiri in Samothrace), etc.; esp. those of Demeter at Eleusis, {This was into the Gay Brotherhood]

The only purpose for assemblying the congregation was to edify, educate, comfort and persuade. It was a Christ-Centered assembly to build up the Body of Christ.

Paul minces no words: even if you are having visions in your own spirit and speak, sing or make instrumental noise it is SELF-centered and had no purpose.

1Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown
        edifieth himself;
        but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Again, the only authorized meaning of prophesying is to teach that prophecy which had been made more perfect: the church is built or edified on the Prophets and Apostles. If there happened to be a real prophet in Corinth and he got a revelation he should NOT speak that tongue in gibberish.  The meaning of gibbering, singing or playing instruments as the tools of charismatic ecstasy would be excluded by the demand to interpret or translate. You cannot translate the twangs of a harp.

1Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied:
        for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret,
        that the church may receive edifying.

Now, back to what Paul would do if HE DID speak in tongues:

1Corinthians 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

The speaking, singing or playing instruments are excluded because they cannot reveal the will of god--except among the pagans--cannot "expound the Scriptures" and cannot convey doctrinal content.

PAUL USES MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS TO EXPLAIN ANYTHING OTHER THAN TEACHING THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TAUGHT.

1Corinthians 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp,
        except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

gignōskō , discern, distinguish, recognize, take a thing to mean tha

1Corinthians 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

Even then, all you can communicate is a series of long and short blasts.

1Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.

1 Corinthians 9.26 I therefore run like that, as not uncertainly. I fight like that, as not beating the air

ON THE OTHER HAND "TONGUES" WERE DEFINED AS MINOR DIALECTS AND NOT THE GIBBERING or making vocal or instrumental noises.  All of the tongues had meaning and Paul was gifted with understanding many because he was an apostle and evangelists.

1Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world,
        and none of them is without signification.

1Corinthians 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning [duna^mis] of the voice,
        I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian,
        and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.

This is clearly speaking languages but in Corinth most travellers would understand Koine Greek.

1Corinthians 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts,
        seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.

1Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

diermēn-euō interpret, expound, translate

Polybius, Histories 3:22 Of this treaty I append a translation, as accurate as I could make it,--for the fact is that the ancient language differs so much from that at present in use, that the best scholars among the Romans themselves have great difficulty in interpreting some points in it, even after much study.

1Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue,
        my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

1Corinthians 14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit,
        and I will pray with the understanding also:
        I will sing with the spirit,
        and I will sing with the understanding also.

1Corinthians 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?

1Corinthians 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.

1Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

2. obsolete or foreign word, which needs explanation, Arist. Rh.1410b12, Po.1457b4,
3. people speaking a distinct language, LXX.Ju.3.8 (pl.), interpol. in Scyl.15.

That is because Paul was gifted with knowing many of the dialects because Jesus gave him that power to guide Him into all truth.  If you know lots of languages maybe God wants you to GO.

This was not in the babbling, chattering musical sense because He would not do that in church: we have lots of records of Paul speaking in the Logos sense but none in the:

1Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,

1Corinthians 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?

These instruments for making war had a few simple messages which they could communicate: you could never teach the warriors how to fight by having a musical performance.

This is not speaking the LOGOS or Word of God but gibberish: Paul equated speaking tongues with lifeless instruments.

1Corinthians 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
        and so falling down on his face he will worship God,
        and report that God is in you of a truth.

You don't worship with rhetoric or music: you fall dow before God.  Paul says in effect "BUT,  YOU don't do that. YOU think that your imagination is the gospel message.

1Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
        everyone of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation,
        hath an interpretation.
        Let all things be done unto edifying. 

Paul didn't say "Let all things be DONE." The all things are what edifies or educates. g3619.Edifying.gif

Even if you THINK that your songs or revelations are from God, here is the absolute:  IF there happens to be someonne who can teaching in a "minor dialect" (tongue), Paul insists that the information must be coming from God who has given the gift. This would exclude a musical worship team because of the limitation of numbers  AND no one attempts to interpret the sound of gibbering, playing a flute, harp or trumpet.

1Corinthians 14:27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue,
         let it be by two, or at the most by three,
         and that by course; and let one interpret.

Paul did not say that either speaking an unlearned language or interpreting was available in Corinth: Paul is speaking irony to shame them

diermēn-euō interpret, expound, translate

Polybius, Histories 3:22 Of this treaty I append a translation, as accurate as I could make it,--for the fact is that the ancient language differs so much from that at present in use, that the best scholars among the Romans themselves have great difficulty in interpreting some points in it, even after much study.

If you claim that your praise songs are INSPIRED then you must be validated by ANOTHER inspired person or be silent.

I believe Paul uses the word "man" because this would be his ironic way to shut down speaking in tongues or making music:

1Corinthians 14:28 But if there be no interpreter, (translate)
        let him keep silence in the church;
        and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Again, speaking in tongues is GIBBERISH or playing an instrument: you cannot INTERPRET either.

com-mŏvĕo (conm- ), A. To remove from a place, to carry away, displace, to start, set in motion, move: if I put my instruments (artifices, tricks, etc.) in motion.
frantic, crazed, Ludo .Especially, to play on an instrument of music, to make or compose music or song: “ludere quae vellem calamo permisit agresti,” Verg.

G. To delude, deceive: “auditis, an me ludit amabilis Insania?”

THEY MUSICALLY MOCKED JESUS AND BEAT HIM WITH A FLUTE!

Gallus , i, m., = Gallos Strab., A. Galli , ōrum, m., the priests of Cybele, so called because of their raving, “resupinati cessantia tympana Galli,” Juv. 8, 176.—And satirically (on account of their emasculated condition)

The DOGS or CONCISION were emasculated priests of the Mother Goddess

If he has a supernatural gift or can play an instrument then let him keep silence in church: you have another 165 hours during the week:

1Corinthians 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

When one true or pretend prophet speaks everyone else would listen: the other supernatural prophet could make sure that he hasn't been busy all week composing inane praise ditties

1Corinthians 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

The insistance is that one must be REVEALING something so that others can learn and be comforted: music in factshuts down the learning and the "feeling" is really spiritual anxiety.

1Corinthians 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one,
        that all may learn,
        and all may be comforted.

This would be the impossible test to weed out those who were speaking or singing in the chattering sense because they claimed that the music and speaking induced frenzy was a spirit speaking through them:

1Corinthians 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

1Corinthians 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion,
        but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. [ekklēsiais]

Akata-sta^sia , hē,

A. instability, anarchy, confusion, Stoic.3.99, Plb.1.70.1, Nic.Dam.Vit.Caes.28, etc.: pl., LXX Pr.26.28, D.H.6.31, 2 Ep.Cor.6.5.

II. unsteadiness, “tou sōmatos” Chrysipp.Stoic.3.121; “a. kai mania” Plb.7.4.8: pl., Man. 5.57.

Proverbs 26.28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts; And a flattering mouth works ruin.

The speaking in tongues was identified by Paul as madness:

Ma^nia (A), Ion. -iē, hē, (mainomai)
II. enthusiasm, inspired frenzy, “m. Dionusou para” E.Ba.305; “apo Mousōn katokōkhē te kai m.” Pl.Phdr. 245a; theia m., opp. sōphrosunē anthrōpinē, ib.256b, cf. Prt.323b, X. Mem.1.1.16; “tēs philosophou m. te kai bakkheias” Pl.Smp.218b.

katokōkh-ē possessed, mania the gift of the Muses.

Plat. Ion 536c and you have plenty to say: for it is not by art or knowledge about Homer that you say what you say, but by divine dispensation and possession; just as the Corybantian worshippers are keenly sensible of that strain alone which belongs to the god whose possession is on them, and have plenty of gestures and phrases for that tune, but do not heed any other. And so you, Ion, when the subject of Homer is mentioned, have plenty to say, but nothing on any of the others. And when you ask me the reason

Eur. Ba. 305 But this god is a prophet—for Bacchic revelry and madness have in them much prophetic skill. [300] For whenever the god enters a body in full force, he makes the frantic to foretell the future. He also possesses a share of Ares' nature. For terror sometimes flutters an army under arms and in its ranks before it even touches a spear; [305] and this too is a frenzy from Dionysus. You will see him also on the rocks of Delphi, bounding with torches through the highland of two peaks, leaping and shaking the Bacchic branch, mighty throughout Hellas. But believe me, Pentheus; [310] do not boast that sovereignty has power among men, nor, even if you think so, and your mind is diseased, believe that you are being at all wise. Receive the god into your land, pour libations to him, celebrate the Bacchic rites, and garland your head.

Dionysus will not compel women [315] to be modest in regard to Aphrodite, but in nature [modesty dwells always] you must look for that. For she who is modest will not be corrupted in Bacchic revelry. Do you see?

Lucretius (98 - c. 55 BC): The Worship of Cybele

Escort of Phrygian bands, since first, they say,

From out those regions 'twas that grain began

Through all the world. To her do they assign

The Galli, the emasculate, since thus

They wish to show that men who violate

The majesty of the Mother and have proved

Ingrate to parents are to be adjudged

Unfit to give unto the shores of light

A living progeny. The Galli come:

And hollow cymbals, tight-skinned tambourines
Resound around to bangings of their hands;
The fierce horns threaten with a raucous bray;
The tubed pipe excites their maddened minds

In Phrygian measures; they bear before them knives,

Wild emblems of their frenzy, which have power

The rabble's ingrate heads and impious hearts

To panic with terror of the goddess' might.

And so, when through the mighty cities borne,

She blesses man with salutations mute,

They strew the highway of her journeyings

With coin of brass and silver, gifting her

With alms and largesse, and shower her and shade

With flowers of roses falling like the snow

Upon the Mother and her companion-bands.

Here is an armed troop, the which by Greeks

Are called the Phrygian Curetes. Since

Haply among themselves they use to play

In games of arms and leap in measure round

With bloody mirth and by their nodding shake

The terrorizing crests upon their heads,

Paul began by discussing the problem:

1Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren,
        by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
        that ye all speak the same thing,
        and that there be no divisions among you;
        but that ye be perfectly joined together
        in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1.10  Parakalō de humas, adelphoi, dia tou onomatos tou kuriou hēmōn Iēsou Khristou hina to auto legēte pantes, kai mē ē en humin skhismata, ēte de katērtismenoi en tō autō noi kai en tē autē gnōmē.

Skhis-ma , atos, to, A. cleft, division, as of hoofs, Arist.HA499a27 (pl.); of leaves, Thphr HP3.11.1; rent in a garment, Ev.Matt.9.16.

II. division of opinion, Ev Jo.9.16.

Matthew  9:[16] No one puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch would tear away from the garment, and a worse hole is made.

John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them

A schism would also exist if the collective body or church assembled and divided into "parts" performed by different people. Church is not an orchestra:

Skhis-ma IV. name of an orkhēstikon skhēma,

You would deliberately produce a schism in the body if you made an orchestra out of it:

Orkh-ēstikos , ē, on,

Aristot. Poet. 1460a Above all, Homer has taught the others the proper way of telling lies... What is convincing though impossible should always be preferred to what is possible and unconvincing. Stories should not be made up of inexplicable details; so far as possible there should be nothing inexplicable, or, if there is, it should lie outside the story.

Melos , eos, to,  B. esp. musical member, phrase: hence, song, strain, 2. music to which a song is set, tune, esp. of lyric poetry  3. melody of an instrument, “phormigx d' au phtheggoith' hieron m. ēde kai aulos”

IF YOU SILENCE THE WOMEN YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM

1Corinthians 14:34 Let your silence in the churches:
        for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
        but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

1 Corinthians 14.34
hAi gunaikes en tais ekklēsiais sigatōsan, ou gar epitrepetai autais lalein: alla hupotassesthōsan, kathōs kai ho nomos legei.

IN MATTHEW:
Matthew 9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Matthew 9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Matthew 9:25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

Flute players were most often unclean women.

Aul-ētēs ,A. flute-player, Thgn. 941, Hdt.1.141, 6.60, 129, Ar.V.581, And.1.12, Pl.Prt.327b,  auleitas IG7.3195 (Orchom. Boeot.). II. kind of wasp, Hsch.

Jesus ejected or "exploded out" the women flute players as an approved example

Matthew 9.25 et cum eiecta esset turba intravit et tenuit manum eius et surrexit puella

Jesus ejected the musical minstrels

Ejicio B.  In partic., like ekballein, to reject disapprovingly: “Cynicorum ratio tota est eicienda,” Cic. Off. 1, 41, 148; cf. id. Clu. 31, 86; id. Fin. 5, 8, 23 (in both passages with explodere), id. de Or. 1, 32, 146; id. Att. 2, 24, 2.—Esp. of players, public speakers, etc., to hiss or hoot off, Cic. de Or. 3, 50 fin.; Auct. Her. 4, 47 (with deridere); cf.: “cantorum ipsorum vocibus eiciebatur,” Cic. Sest. 55, 118.

THEREFORE WHEN PAUL SILENCED THE WOMEN HE SILENCED THE FLUTE PLAYERS.

If the silence applied to the women many just out of paganism it would equally apply to any mechanical noise: this is the same message of Paul equating speaking in tongues to the sounds of a lifeless instrument.

Ar.Fr.719; “kat' agrous tois nomeusi surigx an tis eiē” Pl.R.399d.

The only clear defiinition of Nomos or legalism is the musical teaching of the laws of Apollo, Abaddon or Apollyon.

2. cat-call, whistle, hiss, as in theatres, Id.Lg.700c; cf. “surizō” 11.2, surigmos:—the last part of the nomos Puthikos was called surigges, prob. because it imitated the dying hisses of the serpent Pytho, Str.9.3.10.

They beat the flesh off Jesus with their FLUTES! See Robert Ballard

Mark 14:65 And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face,

The Mad Women of Corinth were well known: In 1 Corinthiahsn 11 Paul begins by pointing out the "uncovered prophesiers" which just out of paganism would disturb the assembly for learning Christ's words: they had nothing to add even if they thought that their singing, playing, falling into a frenzy was a "spirit" inside.

1Corinthians 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home:
        for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

I am sorry bout that but recorded history notes that women are the founders of "religionism" and the tendency to fall into musical forms.  In fact in most pagan religions including Judaism the performing role had to be "female" but were performed as males.

Arguing with others in the body of Christ is disruptive. That’s why Paul spent the first part of chapter 2 on humility.

To dwell above, with saints we love, that will be grace and glory
But to live below with saints we know, now that’s a different story!

Dialogismos is used 14 times in the NAS (Matthew; Mark; Luke 6x; Romans 2x; 1 Corinthians; Philippians; 1 Timothy; James) and is translated as: argument, 1; disputing, 1; dissension, 1; doubts, 1; motives, 1; opinions, 1; reasonings, 2; speculations, 1; thoughts, 3; what...were thinking, 2

Dialogismos is used 11 times in the Septuagint (LXX) (Ps 40:5, 56:5, 92:5, 94:11, 139:2, 139:20, 146:4, Isa 59:7, Jer 4:14, Lam 3:60-61) Dialogismos often means the perverse, vain thinking which contemplates destruction (Ps. 94:11), and is turned against God (Jer. 4:14; Isa. 59:7) and against the godly (Ps. 56:5).

"Women and girls from the different ranks of society were proud to enter the service of the gods as singers and musicians. The understanding of this service was universal: these singers constituted the 'harem of the gods'." (End of Quasten)

"Before the establishment of the kingdom under Saul, it was the women who, as in every young civilization, played a major part in the performance of music. Such figures as Miriam, Deborah, Jephthah's daughter, and the women hailing the young hero David have become almost archetypes of female musicians.

"Characteristic of all these cases is the familiar picture of a female chorus, dancing and singing, accompanied by frenzied drum-beating.

This is the scene known to the entire Near East, and not
"even the severe rule of Islam could wholly suppress this age-old practice." (Int Dict of the Bible, Music, p. 457).

See our review of Al Maxey's use of Miriam as authority for a female musical worship minister. Of course, the text makes it clear that as a prophetess Miriam was called a soothsayer in Egypt.

Paul confirms this

1Corinthians 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you?
        or came it unto you only?

"Maniac inspirations, the violent possession which threw sibyls and priestesses into contortions--the foaming lip and streaming hair and glazed or glaring eyes-- have no place in the self-controlling dignity of Christian inspiration. Even Jewish prophets, in the paroxysm of emotion, might lie naked on the ground and rave (1 Sam. xix. 24); but the genuine inspiration in Christian ages never obliterates the self-consciousness or overpowers the reason. It abhors the hysteria and stimulation and frenzy which have sometimes disgraced revivalism and filled lunatic asylums." (Pulpit Commentary, 1 Cor., p. 460).

The only way to guard against the fall into a deranged form of paganism was to direct his attention to the rare man who thought that he read God's mind beyond the sacred pages received from Paul or preached.

1Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
        let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you
        are the commandments of the Lord.

Gibbering, singing, playing and falling into ecstasy was their claim to power, If they were true prophets they would understand that Paul taught them the commands of God. All then can be second hand prophets by teaching that which is written for our learning.

Paul wished they were all prophets or apostles in the true sense but if they didn't recognize Paul as the sole resource of the message from Christ they they would just bee doomed to remain ignorant.

1Corinthians 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

1Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy,
            and forbid not to speak with tongues. {but HE would not do that in church}

Prophēt-eia , hē,  III. in NT, gift of expounding scripture, or of speaking and preaching, under the influence of the Holy Spirit (cf. prophētēs), Ep.Rom.12.6, 1 Ep.Cor.12.10, 1 Ep.Ti.1.18, 4.14, 

Rom. 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Rom. 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us,
        whether prophecy, let us prophesy
        according to the proportion OF FAITH

Rom. 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Gal. 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

In the primary sense, men were given supernatural gifts to make certain that the early church was well founded on the Prophets and those teachings by gifted men.  He does not encourage tongues but proves that they have no value compared to the supernatural gift of teaching.
