In Exodus
31 God warned against letting loose or lose custody of
singing, playing and being entertained when the
assembly was Called.
In Exodus 32 the people depending
on God's SILENCE to permit their IMAGINATION rose up
to play in musical Idolatry.
In Deuteronomy 31 Moses defined SONGS as
to be SPOKEN for instruction from
God (only):
In
Deuteronomy 32 in the SECOND LAW the musical
idolatry was repeated.
- Individuals are Disciples (only) of Christ
(only) and only when the elders SPEAK and
teach that which has been taught.
- It is logical that the doctors of the Law whom
Jesus said "take away the key to knowledge" insist
that God DOES not speak: rather "a" spirit tells
them that they can fabricated their own Commands,
Examples and Necessary Inferences IF you want to
be their disciple.
- If your shepherds fail to warn you and you FALL
into the Devil's trap (His children speak on their
OWN) you will never get up.
- God abandoned the Israelites to be destroyed by
their own people and sentenced the rest to
"worship the starry host."
Deut 31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils
and troubles are befallen them,
that this
song shall testify against them as a witness;
for it shall not
be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed:
for I know their
imagination which they go about,
even now, before
I have brought them into the land which I sware.
- All false teachers who claim that a "spirit"
gives them the authority to speak and impose
where God has been silent.
- That is proof that they cannot read and just
make laughingstocks of themselves and their
disciples.
- Paul said of the Corinthians that fools love
to be fooled because they have no love for the
truth.
- They will hurt you in more ways you can
imagine if you tamper with "god's anointeds."
- God says that no human has the wisdom to ADD
to the Word of God:

MOSES DEFINED THE SYNAGOGUE FOR TEACHING THE WORD
OF GOD:
The synagogue
continued when the leaders returned to their tribes
and SPOKE the instructions of God:
The synagogue
EXCLUDES vocal or instrumental rejoicing:
this was always
the MARK of people making the lambs dumb before the
slaughter.
Deut 31:28 Gather unto me all the elders of
your tribes,
and your officers,
that I may speak these words in their ears,
and call heaven and
H6950 qâhal kaw-hal' A primitive root; to
convoke:—assemble (selves) (together), gather
(selves) (together).
Deut 31:29 For I know that after my death ye will
utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside
from the way which I have commanded you; and evil
will befall you in the latter days; because ye will
do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him
to anger through the work of your hands.
Deut 31:30 And Moses SPAKE in the ears of
all the congregation of Israel the words of
this song, until they were ended.
Moses didn't SING this song He SPOKE it because
comprehension was the purpose: teaching and
admonishing.

THIS IS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT PAUL
MADE CLEARLY IN EPHESIANS 5
Notice that Paul often uses forms of parallelism
II. Antithetical
Parallelism--The thought of the first
line is expressed by an antithesis in the
second; or is counterbalanced by a contrast in
the second. This parallelism is very common in
the Book of Proverbs:
(a) The tongue of the wise
adorneth knowledge,
{but} The
mouth of the fool blurteth out folly.
Prov., xv, 2.
(b) Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh,
{but}Envy is the rot of the bones.
--Proverbs 14:30.
The thoughts of the righteous are right,
But the
counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Proverbs
12:5 (NKJV)
The word SPEAK is the opposite of POETRY or
MUSIC. Therefore,
Eph. 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but
understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine,
wherein is excess;
but be
filled with the Spirit;
Eph. 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs,
{but}
singing and making melody in your heart to
the Lord;
Eph. 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto
God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ;
This is true because you cannot SPEAK and SING at
the same time in an external sense.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain;
and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to
worship.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me,
the hour cometh,
when ye
shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the
true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth:
for the
Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him
must
worship him in spirit and in truth.
You cannot worship a Spirit God in houses built
by human hands or by the works of human hands.
Phil. 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil
workers, beware of the concision.
Phil. 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which
worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in
Christ Jesus,
and have no
confidence in the flesh.
Plat.
Theaet. 189e Socrates
As the talk which the soul
has with itself about any subjects which it
considers. You must not suppose that I know this
that I am declaring to you. But the soul, as
the image presents itself to me,
when it
thinks, is merely conversing with itself, asking
itself questions and answering,

Well, then, thought and speech are
the same;
only the
former, which is a silent inner conversation
of the soul with itself,
has
been given the special name of thought. Is not
that true?

Certainly.
