Patrick
Mead on Instrumental Music.
Patrick Mead at Rochester
Church of Christ in his first sermon on God and
Instrumental Music sifts through the Old Testament for
passages that use an instrument of any kind. This
tends to flood the mind with the notion that the
Bible is filled with direct commands to use instrumental
music to worship God.
Rev 12.26.10
NEVER ACCEPT A SERMON
ABOUT INSTRUMENTS IN A CHURCH OF CHRIST UNTIL YOU HAVE
SOME BACKGROUND.

THOSE WHO
IMPOSE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC BUILD ON THE FOUNDATION
OF THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES.
The first two reasons assert that under the Old
Testament, God did not just allow instrumental music,
He commanded and blessed it. Rick offered the
following passages for these contentions: 2 Chronicles
5:13-14; 7:6; 29:25-26; Psalm 33:1- 3; 92:1-3;
150:1-6.
Never mind that the godly tribes were quarantined. No
singer or player went INTO or NEAR a holy thing or place
on the penalty of death. Some of these patterns are
separated from the last by up to 300 years.
CHRIST IN THE PROPHETS WARNED ABOUT THE LYING
PEN OF THE SCRIBES.
Stand in the gate of the Lords house [courts], and
proclaim there this word,
and say, Hear the word of
the Lord, all ye of Judah,
that enter in at these
gates to worship the Lord. Jeremiah 7:2
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
Amend your ways and your
doings,
and I will cause you to
dwell in this place. Jeremiah 7:3
Trust ye not in lying words, saying,
The temple of the Lord,
The temple of the Lord,
The temple of the Lord,
are these. Jeremiah 7:4
Jer. 8:8 How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of
the LORD is WITH US?
LO, CERTAINLY IN VAIN MADE
HE IT;
THE PEN OF THE SCRIBES
IS in vain.
For I spake NOT unto your fathers, nor commanded
them
in the day that I brought
them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt offerings
or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
Cyril of
Alexandria, Commentary on John,
That the Pharisees puffed up unto strange boasting,
were wont to
pretend that the Divine Word was with them and in them,
and therefore
foolishly affirmed that they had advanced to
marvellous wisdom,
the Spirit Itself will
testify,
since Christ says by the
Prophet Jeremiah
unto them,
How do ye say,
WE are wise, and the word of the Lord is with
us?
For nought to the scribes became
their lying
pen;
the wise men were
ashamed,
were dismayed and taken;
what wisdom is in
them? because they rejected
the word of
the Lord.
For how are they not taken rejecting the Living and Hypostatic Word of God,
receiving not the faith to Him-ward,
but
dishonouring the Impress
of God the Father,
and
refusing to behold His most true Form (so
to say)
through His
God-befitting Authority and Power?
THE PROPHECIES BY CHRIST WERE FULFILLED BY JESUS
CHRIST: JESUS AND PETER MAKES THE APOSTLES AND
PROPHETS THE ONLY TRUTH.
John 6:44 No man can come to me,
except the Father which
hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at
the last day.
John 6:45 It is WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS
And they shall be all
taught of God.
Every man therefore that
hath heard,
and hath learned of the
Father, cometh unto me.
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:
IT WAS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST WHO SPOKE THROUGH THE
PROPHETS AND NOT LYING SCRIBES whom He called
hypocrites by naming speakers, singers and instrument
players in Ezekiel 33.
1Pet. 1:10 Of which salvation the PROPHETS
have inquired and searched diligently,
who
prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1Pet. 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.
God did NOT speak through the lying pen of the
Scribes who recorded the Monarchy which God had NOT
commanded.
Heb. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers
manners
spake in time
past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb. 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us BY
HIS SON
whom he hath appointed
heir of all things,
by whom also he made the
worlds;
Heb. 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory,
and the express image of
his person,
and upholding all things
by the WORD of his power,
when he had by himself
purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand
of the Majesty on high
THOSE WHO DELIBERATELY SOW DISCORD BY QUOTING THE
LYING PEN OF THE SCRIBES (hypocrites: speakers,
singers, instrument players) are defined by the
Spirit:
Jer. 23:16 Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
Hearken not unto the words
of the prophets that prophesy unto you:
they make you vain: they
speak a vision of their own heart,
and not out of the
mouth of the LORD.
Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise
me,
The Lord hath said, Ye
shall have peace;
and they say unto every
one that walketh
after the imagination
of his own heart,
No evil shall come upon
you.
Despise tthe Word of God of God and using your own
words is:
Blasphēm-eō , pf. A.
“beblasphēmēka” D.18.10:—speak profanely of sacred
things, “eis theous” Pl.R.381e; offer rash prayers,
1. Because Christ as Spirit spoke ONLY through the
prophets.
2. Those who use use the pattern of the Lying Pen of
the Scribes, in fact despise and ignore the SPIRIT
message.
3. Christ in Jeremiah defines that as blasphemy
Hebrew: H5006 nâ’ats
naw-ats' A primitive root; to scorn; abhor, (give
occasion to) blaspheme, contemn, despise,
flourish, X great, provoke.

1.04.11
Christ the Spirit spoke through the
Prophets
Jesus of Nazareth made these prophecies more perfect
Jesus said "my WORDS are Spirit and Life."
To speak out of your own
imagination while pretending to speak for Christ
is defined as blasphemy.
The Progressive Church of
Christ members note that they have reached their
plateau. A Cloud of Unknowing is prophesied of
those who treat the word like a mechanic pretending to be a
Brain Surgeon.
The amazing thing is that
this small pool which has lost connection with the head: by
lifting those proof texts necessary to sow discord within
the Church of Christ, and failing to understand the context,
they have unwittingly or half-wittingly ascribed to the
Spirit of Christ what He did not say: does that not
constitute blasphemy?
CENI means that no one can survive speaking out of their
OWN IMAGINATION rather than simply reading an account and
discussing it.
Jer 23:16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Hearken not
unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you;
they make you vain:
they speak a vision of their own heart,
and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
Jer 23:17 They say still unto them that despise
me,
The Lord hath said, Ye
shall have peace;
and they say unto
every one that walketh
after the
imagination of his own heart,
No evil shall come
upon you.

Jer 23:22 But if they had stood in my counsel,

people to hear my words,
then they should have

and from the evil

The spirit OF Christ spoke through the
PROPHETS to univerally condemn music as the MARK and
CAUSE of rejecting the Word. Otherwise, to prophesy
meant to MAKE SELF a prophets in a singing, dancing and
musical sense.

"In Isa 8:19 the 'obhoth and yidh'onim are spoken of those who 'chirp and mutter."
These terms refer to the necromancers themselves who
practiced ventriloquism in connection with their magical rites. In Isa 29:4 it is
said 'Thy voice shall be as an 'obh, out of the
ground.'... They are stamped
in these passages, as in the Witch of Endor narrative, as
deceivers
practising
a fraudulent
art. By
implication their power to evoke spirits with whom they were in familiar intercourse is
denied." (Int Std Bible Ency., ency, p. 690)

SOWERS OF DISCORD AS A PSYCHOLICAL
WEAPON ARE FORCED TO BE BURNED BY THEIR OWN TONGUE.
Christ defined the
synagogue or church in the wilderness to EXCLUDE these
people: don't be a guilty enabler.
There is no ROLE for them
and no DOLE: rhetoricians and musicians were called
HYPOCRITES by Jesus and PARASITES by decent society.
Acts 15:21 For Moses of
old time
hath in every city
them that PREACH
him,
being READ in the
synagogues every sabbath day.
Do trust your souls to
people who mock the church: Christ and His Word "as
taught" is the only guide into the spiritual world and the
rest including wind, string and percussion musicians John
called sorcerers are doomed for the Lake
of Fire.
Before looking at any
rationale for adding instruments into a Church of Christ it
would be well to note that the Bible, church scholars and
founders of denominations denied that the instruments of
paganism and the theater had any role to play in the Church
which is synagogue, ekklesia or school of the Word of
Christ: A DISCIPLE of Christ is to be taught what Jesus
Christ COMMANDED to be taught.
All recorded history makes
religious musicians, sexuality and homosexuality absolute.
Patrick's sermon
# 2 has been reviewed in part by clicking here.
Patrick Mead Rivers and Rubicons.
Patrick uses the Nadab and Abihu example to most those who
grasp the story.
Patrick
Mead: intentionally just picks up on the obvious
uses of instruments (machines for deceiving or
controlling) none of which are used in the spiritual
worship of the "citizens" of Israel. On the
contrary, these are all marks of Satan (Lucifer,
Zoe), making war, sending signals, exorcism, prostitutes
and Sodomites. The proof-texts--intentionally ignoring the
context and story line--are MARKS of a national,
Civil-Priestly state to which God abandoned Israel because
of musical idolatry at Mount
Sinai. [Acts 7 and many clear statements)
CHRIST
SPEAKS ONLY THROUGH THE PROPHETS. Christ affirmed
the musical fall from grace most of the prophets. The
Monarchy was NOT a system of worship for the common, godly
people who attended synagogue or church in the wilderness
as a school of the Word (only).
There
seems to be a crippling veil which has not been removed
because clergy, by definition, have served the secular
world and have not turned to Christ. It doesn't
matter how many cases of the use of instrumental music in
the Civil system in Washington: it has no connection to
the spiritual world.
On the other
hand, the Bible is flooded with LOUD warnings beginning
with Genesis where the "serpent" is defined as
a musical enchanter(ess) who is bisexual and able to wholly
seduce Eve in a sexual way says Paul and able for Adam to
"eat of the tallest tree in Eden" whom the prophets identify
as the Assyrians. The FRUITS are not apples.
Lucifer
the singing and harp playing prostitute in Eden: Ezekiel
28
Assyrians in Eden: Ezekiel 31
In the middle of the Bible and
throughout, Amos lumps the female-controlled
players
of musical instrumets with the "basket of summer FRUITS."
These
are
defined
as
the
DOGS or CATAMITES Paul warned about in our
worship. They caused the people to hunger and thirst for
the Word of God until they died or went into captivity
with the females led away with fishhooks in their nose.
The Bible ends with the Mother of harlots
(Revelation 17) using the "lusted after FRUITS" as
speakers, singers and instrumentalists identified by John
as sorcerers (Revelation 18) who HAD deceived
the whole world.
Why is this important in
reviewing the RESOURCES hand fed by the NACC to a few
preachers and THEIR repeating the material almost
word-for-word?
It
is because Jesus told the Apostles why He would not even
preach the clear gospel to the clergy of Scribes
and Pharisees whom He called hypocrites.
Jesus pointed to Isaiah and Ezekiel who identify the HYPOCRITES
as speakers, singers and instrument players along with
anyone who would go out and listen to them to be
entertained.
Jesus said that truth had been hidden in parables
from the foundation of the World FROM those He also called Doctors
of the Law who "Take away the KEY to knowledge."
They, being blind, will lead the blind and charge you an
unlawful wage for doing it.
Why do people hide the dozens
of bright lights warning about instruments as a MARK of
rejecting God under a bushel of isolated verses none of which
defines collective worship?
Jesus explains why it may be utterly impossible for those
sowing musical discord to even read or hear
this message: God may have sent strong delusion and the most
powerful DELUDERS were known as singers and musicians.

Symposium 215c DEFINES
LYING WONDERS Part Two
[215d] quite an excellent
orator, perhaps—pronouncing one of the usual discourses, no
one, I venture to say, cares a jot; but so soon as we hear
you, or your discourses in the mouth of another,—though such
person be ever so poor a speaker, and whether the hearer be
a woman or a man or a youngster—we are all astounded and
entranced. As for myself, gentlemen, were it not that I
might appear to be absolutely tipsy, I would have affirmed
on oath all the strange effects I personally have felt from
his words, and still feel even now. For when I hear him
Psilos IV. opposite to melody.
Ordinary sound of the voice OPPOSITE to singing.
This is the same procedure
used by David Faust who is the latest
facilitator from the NACC tutoring a few men to infiltrate
peaceable churches of Christ with instrumental music.
It always begins with "musical worship teams" to lead you
into God's presence: they claim to be God standing in the
holy places capable of being your mediators. The next step
will be to appease the masses with A Sunday Acappella
service BUT adding a third or Sabbath Worship service.
Believe me, they intend to "go all the way" as did Max
Lucado appeasing the people all along that this will be
"soft strings in another room." Don't be fooled.
Why list ALL of the
"instrument" passages gleaned from a lexicon without ever
reading what God was saying?
The impact of a
serial quoting of non-related statements is pretty strong
until you just stop and understand that there must be a deliberate
patternism for using the boasted-of postmodern
plan or Lynn Anderson's Navigating the Winds of Change to
make a shocking impact. This is not unexpected
because a musical instrument is defined as "a machine for
doing hard work mostly in makingwar and in
creating the shock and awe of performance
religionism." However, one of the oldest bits of information
is that leaders use musical performers to point or direct
the credit or worship to the leader and to bind them
to himself: tribalism 101a--and pay him too.
We will skip the proof that
God had abandoned the national leaders to "worship the
starry host" because of musical idolatry at Mount
Sinai. When the elders fired God and demanded a king LIKE
THE NATIONS He understood that to mean "so we can worship
like the nations." As a result Hosea says that "I gave them
kings in my anger and took them away in my anger." God
warned that the king set over them would take their
tithe and lands and give it to his "ministry team."
He
would take the young girls for the court and the young boys
to make musical instruments and run before the potentate's
chariots.
Anyone who has read how the
elders "fired" God and God's promises that the kings would
destroy them, cannot miss the primary document of O.E.Payne
and later by Tom Burgess who justifies instrumental music by
the Greek word Psallo along with the curse of the Old
Testament. Not to be missed is that ALL of the
literature where psallo is used it means only the plucking
and the proof uses Alexander the Great condemned by his
father, Philip, for outing his pederasty by the WAY he
plucked the harp seducing young boys for a sexual favor.
Next,
we need to establish that God or the Spirit OF
Christ knows that there are two classes of people
one of which Jesus called a Crooked Generation meaning the perverted
skolion singers from whom we are to SAVE
OURSELVES.
God intends to make fools
of the blind to collect the blind and quarantine them just
as the sacrificial system was off limits to people who
assembled or synagogued as a school of the Bible where vocal
and instrumental rejoicing was outlawed. Not too helpful
when people are told that god LOVES loud noise when He tries
to be our teacher when the elders "teach that which has been
taught" and we "sing that which is written." On the
contrary, Habakkuk 2 says to silence the "idols" we assume
SPEAK to us and "when God is in His Holy Temple, let all the
earth keep silence before him."
You might LUMPED with a
group whom Jesus INTENDS to keep in the dark because you
have let the wolves inside when Paul told you to worship in
the SPIRIT in contrast to in the FLESH. Body Worship is not
a pretty term. Rember that Lucifer
is called "the singing and harp playing prostitute" in the
garden of Eden. She / he / it is called in Gnosticism
"Zoe, the beast and female instructing principle."
Therefore the Lucifer Principle intends to
make noise and especially music to PREVENT people from
hearing the still, quiet voice of God speaking so gently
that with Elijah God's voice is the "silence of a
whispered breeze." As long as people invent their own
songs and make music no one can convince anyone that the
performers--Jesus called hypocrites--intend for you to
keep the though and thoughs of God in your mind. Why
should all historic scholars and founders of denominations
be so wrong and a half dozen people in these end times be
so opposite but correct?
Here is how God
intends to fool those foolish enough to revert to
an Old Testament priestly class all condemned by the
Spirit OF Christ in the prophets. Sure,
they were the senior pastors, preachers, doctors of the
law and identified by Jesus as "piping trying to force
people to sing and dance." This MARKED the perverted
Dionysus or god of the new wineskin bowing to Baal. But,
Nehemiah speaking of the Monarchy said "they all TOOK
us for all they could collect."
Matt
13:10: And the disciples came, and said unto him,
Why speakest thou
unto them in parables?
Matt 13:11: He answered and said unto them,
Because it is given
unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of heaven,
but to them [clergy, doctors of the law]
it is not given.
Matt 13:12: For whosoever hath, to him shall be
given, and he shall have more abundance:
but whosoever hath
not, from him shall be taken away even that he
hath.
Matt 13:13: Therefore speak I to them in parables:
because they seeing
see not; and hearing they hear not,
neither do they understand.
Matt 13:14: And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of
Esaias, which saith,
By hearing ye shall hear,
and shall not understand;
and seeing ye shall
see, and shall not perceive:
Matt 13:15: For this people's heart is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing,
and their eyes they
have closed;
lest at any
time they should see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears,
and should understand
with their heart,
and should be converted,
and I should heal them.
Matt 13:16: But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and
your ears, for they hear.
The prophecy of these end
times was from Isaiah who in Isaiah 5 just radically
repudiated the practice defined by Amos where their religious
festivals were MARKED by wine, visible
women and instrumental music. Isaiah
promises that they will be led into captivity and the dominant
women would suffer reproach and die for lack of the
Word of God. In chapter 6 he prophesies the modern
church:
Also
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send,
and who will go for us?
Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isa 6:8
And he said, Go, and tell this people,
Hear ye indeed,
but understand not; and see ye indeed, but
perceive not. Isa 6:9
Make the
heart
of
this
people
fat, and make their ears heavy, and
shut their eyes;
lest they see
with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand
with their heart,
and convert,
and be healed. Isa 6:10
ALL musical terms and names of instruments
are derived from evil roots. All Greek singing and playing
words convey the idea of enchantment or deception
or sorcery as John said of the "fruits" speaking,
singing and playing instruments in Revelation 18:22-23
#E The words SPEAK for the
synagogue or ekklesia are defined as the OPPOSITE of poetry or
music. The Bible is not metrical and
cannot be sung in a tunful sense.

how to make the HEART FAT:
-Pindar,

through the sweet songs of Homer,
Pause! poetry and

WANT you to know the truth and YOU being blind love to
follow the blind. Congratulations, God wrote about you.
[22]
since there is a certain solemnity in his lies and
winged artfulness, and poetic skill
deceives, seducing us with stories, and the heart of the mass of men is
blind.
For if
[25] they had been able to see the truth, then
mighty Aias, in anger over the arms, would never
have planted in his chest the smooth sword--Aias,
who was the most powerful in battle, except for Achilles,
and whom the breath Hades breaks over all
alike; it falls on the man who does not expect it, and on
the one who does. There is honor for those whose
fame a god causes to grow luxuriant when
they are dead. Neoptolemus came to help, to the great
navel of the broad-bosomed earth. And he lies beneath the
Pythian soil, of the unswerving Zephyr
conveyed in swift ships, to bring back the wife of
golden-haired Menelaus [30] from the city of Ilus.
Paul and John knew the stories the Greeks
told one another to entertain and deceive the masses. But,
Jesus never speaks to the masses without using PARABLES.
However, not even the DECENT poets used
meter or melody:
-Aristotle Aristot. Rh. 3.6: Melody
Deceives: "Poets also make use
of this in inventing words, as a melody
"without strings" or "without the lyre"; for they employ
epithets from negations, a course which is approved in
proportional metaphors.

And on rhythm in general, and its application to
prose, there is an Appendix (C), pp. 379—392; in which is a
full account of its original and derived significations in
the first part, and of its distinction from metron in the second.
John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the
words of God:
for God giveth not
the Spirit by metron unto him.

of such and such a cadence.

to Philo, the gods of the pagans exploit
this weakness of men. For the sake of a better effect, and
with the intention of more easily cheating
their devotes, that they have set their lies to

Don't be shocked that these
definitions of all music speak of witchcraft or

an end to them. And then the Argonauts came to Phasis, where they clashed with the
dark-faced Colchians in the realm of Aeetes himself. And
the queen of sharpest arrows brought the dappled wryneck
from Olympus, bound to the
four spokes [215] of the indissoluble wheel: Aphrodite of
Cyprus brought the maddening
bird to men for the first time, and she taught the
son of Aeson skill in prayerful incantations, so
that he could rob Medea of reverence for her
parents, and a longing for Greece
would lash her, her mind on fire, with the whip of
Persuasi on.
That is why the Lucifer Principle uses
speakers, singers and musicians to ROB God of reverence
without which Hebrews 12 says you should know that "God is a consuming fire."
How can anyone say that God COMMANDS making loud noise
when He demands reverence and Godly fear?

Origen
Book VI, Chapter XLI speaking of the "god" to whom God
abandoned Israel because of musical idolatry.
In the next place, as if he
had forgotten that it was his object to write against the
Christians, he says that, "having become acquainted
with one Dionysius, an Egyptian musician,
Alawys
denounced: "the latter told him,
with respect to magic arts,
that it was only over the uneducated and men of corrupt morals that they had any power,
Alawys approved: "while on philosophers they were unable to produce any effect,
because they were careful to observe a healthy manner of life."
Following the use of women
and instrumental music in the religious festivals
which left the nation ignorant of God's word, the nation
would be DECEIVED until "women and children rule over" the

PROVING THE UNIVERSAL MARK
OF THE EFFEMINATE: the church is almost now devoid of men.
E-mail from a long
term but now X member of one of Patrick Mead's sister
congregations:
"This
will
confirm
many things that you have been saying about these hijacked
congregations.
It was the most efiminate thing that I have ever
witnessed. They had a choir that was totally
composed of women. This group sang a couple of
performance songs and also led the congregational
singing. Only one song was acapella, a bone tossed
to those that still care. The two men besides the
preacher that spoke, although married, were way off the
scale in the feminine category. It was really sad."
Why does GOD need
music as a MACHINE to make His Word more powerful.
Especially when this is a universal mark of all effeminate
priesthoods? #H
"The development both of
religion and of the arts can be traced back in a continuous line to the
hunting era. The group ritual of the primeval tribesmen were the origin not only of
all religious ceremonial, but also of the drama and of poetry and music, while magic gave birth to the
visual arts."
(Parkes, Henry Bamford, On Gods and Men, p. 30).
"Awed by the mysteries of
his own spirit no less than by those of
nature, primitive man was likely to attribute to divine influence
any abnormal emotional state, whether above or below the
usual level. Medicine men customarily went into states of trance in which they were believed to be in
communication with the gods,
and many tribes supposed lunatics and sexual deviants to be divinely possessed.
"The trained
musicians which eventually appear around the time of
David and Solomon mark a distinctive change in
the history of Jewish music.
Before
this time much of the music was made by women."
(Zondervan Pict., Music p. 313).
"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).
Ancient
literature from Babylonian tablets and beyond agree with Johannes
Quasten. In Music and Worship in Pagan and Christian
Antiquity, beginning on page 41 He uses
many of the church Fathers and Classical resources we also
rely upon:
"Philodemus
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.
He
found it significant that, on the whole, only
women and effeminate men fell into this folly.
Accordingly,
nothing
of value could be attributed to music; it was no
more than a slave of the sensation of pleasure, which satisfied
much in the same way that food and drink
did.
Similar
opinions may be found in the writings of Philo. On one
occasion he spoke of the Jewish "Feast of Fasting," used
by the Greeks for the Day of Atonement:
"Now,
many a man from the false religions, which are
not ashamed of criticising what is noble, will ask:
how can there be a feast without carousing and overeating, without
the pleasant company of hosts and guests, without
quantities of unmixed wine, without
richly set tables and highly stacked provisions of
everything that pertains to a banquet, without pageantry
and jokes,
bantering
and
merry-making
to the accompaniment of flutes and citharas, the
sound of drums and cymbals and other
effeminate
and frivolous music of every
king,
enkindling
unbridled lusts with the help of the sense
of hearing. For in and through the
same [pleasures] those persons openly
seek their joy, for what true joy is
their they do not know.
This is the
laded burden [songs] Jesus died to remove along with the
burden laders. And what Paul outlawed as SELF-pleasure so
that the ekklesia or school of the Bible could take place in
Romans 15.

Moreover, we must take into

soprano, that the singers were of different ages down to twenty
years of age, and that Oriental, and more particularly
even Jewish, song is fond of falsetto singing
Clement of
Alexandria on Exhortation to the Heathen whom
they twist to authorize instrumental music in worship says:
All
honour to that king of the Scythians, whoever Anacharsis
was, who shot with an arrow one of his
subjects who imitated
among the Scythians the mystery of the Mother of
the gods, as practised by the inhabitants of Cyzicus,
- beating
a
drum and sounding a cymbal
- strung
from his neck like a priest of Cybele,
- condemning
him
as
having
become
effeminate among the Greeks,
- and
a teacher of the disease of effeminacy to the
rest of the Cythians.
And do you
not see Moses, the hierophant of the truth,
enjoining that no eunuch, or emasculated
man, or son of a harlot, should enter
the congregation? By the two first he alludes to the impious
custom by which men were deprived both of divine
energy and of their virility; and by the third, to him who,
in place of the only real God, assumes many gods falsely so
called,-as the son of a harlot, in ignorance of his true
father, may claim many putative fathers.
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. 1 Cor 13:1
See the TWANGING
ARROW as the background to external melody which Paul
prohibited.
Paul repeated this warning which also
appears in Isaiah 29 and Isaiah 48 shows why the mercinaries
or corrupters of the word meaning "selling learing at
retail" meaning spiritual adultery will not have a clue. A
blind flock deserves a blind shepherd to "craunch your
bones."
And
some
believed
the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
Acts 28:24
And
when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after
that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost
by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, Acts 28:25
Saying,
Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and
shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not
perceive: Acts 28:26
For
the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they
closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and
hear with their ears, and understand with
their heart, and should be converted, and I should
heal them. Acts 28:27
Be
it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is
sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear
it. Acts 28:28
Isaiah 30 notes
that when you hear the wind, string and percussion
instruments it is the SIGN or MARK that God is driving His
enemies into hell. That is the last MARK that
Jesus the Spirit has visited your church and REMOVED the
candlesticks meaning the seven Spirits OF Divine knowledge.
(Isa 11:1)
As in the days of Noah, god will send a SPIRIT of FIRE and a
SPIRIT of judment to burn up the blind chaff.
NOW, JUMP TO MATTHEW 15 TO HEAR JESUS DEFINED THE
PERFORMERS AS HYPOCRITES
When we are told that there
is little symphathy for the BLIND who are led by the
BLIND and both fall into a ditch. Who are the
BLIND men playing their bluff. In Matthew 15 Jesus
spoke of the false teachers afflicting people a Scribes and
Pharisees whom He called hypocrites. What is a hypocrite so
that we can know whether Patrick Mead is speak for a God who
LOVES LOUD or whether he is a hypocrite?
Matt
15:6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be
free.
Thus
have ye made the commandment of God of none effect
by
your
tradition.
The MEANING of the Scribes, Pharisees and Hypocrites was that they IMPOSED their own
TRADITIONS in order to TRUMP the COMMANDMENTS of God.
A
SPECIFIC EXAMPLE
It is easier to mumble
personal opinion than to LOOK at the proof that Jesus was
OUTLAWING musical performers. Why can't you FACE Scripture
fair and squar?
Matt
15:7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of
you, saying,
Matt 15:8 This people
.......... draweth nigh unto me with their
mouth, and
..........
honoreth me with
their lips;
..........
but their heart is far from me.
Matt 15:9 But in vain they do worship
me,
..........

Melos

rhythmic and induces what Carol Wimber and the pagans
called a "sexual-like climax." Sure, that is why modern
music attracts and why musicologists know that "churchy" music is derived from
Voodoo which again needs femal operatives.

they automatically produce the AUTHENTIA authority which
is both erotic and murderous. Paul would
exclude women clapping or waving unholy ARMS when he

real sexaul climax according to the Vineyard lady, Carol

stands on a false pretence, denouncing
me, but indicting Ctesiphon. He sets in the forefront
of the controversy his private quarrel with me, in
which he has never confronted me fairly; yet he is
avowedly seeking to disfranchise somebody else.

A
LEGALISTIC PATTERNISM CONDEMNED
Ezekiel also defines the HYPOCRITES Jesus condemned as slick
speakers, singers and instrument players.

Ezekiel 33 identifies the same HYPOCRITES which Jesus also
associated with the perverters who PLAYED in the marketplace
trying to force others to sing or lament and dance. This would
be the mark that Jesus was their hoped for Dionysus who gave
them authority for the sexuality, homosexuality and
music in the Holy Places as the Abomination of Desolation:
