Topical Doctrine of Churches of Christ
Jesus promised preachers in Churches of Christ that they will be hated, hounded and hurt as He was.
The Church in the Wilderness defined the only assembly of God's people both inclusively and exclusively. That simple WAY that is called HERESY or SECT is defined over and over under the Old Covenant: it was prophesied clearly, was made perfect by Jesus, was written by APOSTLES or SCRIBES as eye-- and ear--witnesses of Jesus of Nazareth. The New Covenant or the Last will and Testament of Jesus Christ went into effect when He died in the flesh. The certifying blood price was delivered into the heavenly Tabernacle. Jesus returned at Pentecost in the Promised [state] of Holy Spirit.
Churches of Christ following the Bible example and became active in Amerifa after the first amendment of the constitution. However, small groups existed in all periods and called themselves a Church of Christ. All historic writers and founders of denomatiions were APOSTOLIC. They all believed that the Testimony of Jesus was SPIRIT and the only resource for preaching and teaching.
Close to all preachers take their topic from a verse or two of Holy Scripture. However, they used outlawed methods of rhetoric and personal opinion proving that they need to enhance the Word of God.
Names and Practices of The church of christ:
Died C. 110 Ignatius to the Ephesians And if those that corrupt mere human families are condemned to death, how much more shall those suffer everlasting punishment who endeavour to corrupt the CHURCH OF CHRIST, for which the Lord Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God, endured the cross, and submitted to death! Whosoever, "being waxen fat," and "become gross," sets at nought His doctrine, shall go into hell.

But we do not trust through Moses or through the law; for then we would do the same as yourselves. But now -(for I have read that there shall be a final law, and a covenant, the chiefest of all, which it is now incumbent on all men to observe, as many as are seeking after the inheritance of God.

Against Heresies 3.1.1
“We have learned from none others the plan of our salvation, than from those through whom the gospel has come down to us, which they did at one time proclaim in public, and, at a later period, by the will of God, handed down to us in the Scriptures, to be the ground and pillar of our faith.”

“For our faith rests on the revelation made to the Prophets and Apostles who wrote the canonical books.”MOST DENOMINATIONS IN THE LAST 100 YEARS OR MORE CLAIM THAT NEITHER GOD, JESUS NOR THE APOSTLES as GOD'S SCRIBES, COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THE MODERN WORLD.
Leroy Garrett stated an earlier pattern:
"This is to say that the gospel is not the whole of the New Testament scriptures
for the gospel was a reality long before the scriptures were written.
Strictly speaking, the teachings of the apostles are not facts, as the gospel is,
but interpretations, implications, and edification based on the gospel.In this area, that of the didache (teaching) even the apostles differed in their ideas and emphases.
The churches for whom these documents were written were likewise different from each otherThe doctrine allows for debate and dialogue, for intellectual stimulation and the stretching of the mind. It nurtures us in Christ, but in such a way that each man develops according to his own uniqueness. The pragmatic mind as well as the speculative mind finds food for thought. Its design is (not) to make us all alike in our thinking, but to make us mature in Christ.
Leroy nor most who reject Scripture that Jesus and every one preached the gospel OF THE KINGDOM. The gospel is not good news unless it REMOVES the Clergy-ogranization and "priests and levites" and defines. a Perfect Law of Liberty which frees individuals and congregation to gather themselves as Christians-Disciples-Students. Students do not pass judgment on their ONLY RABBI.
IN THE ASSEMBLY WE ALL SPEAK THE SAME THINGS: IT'S EASY.
Rom. 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime

THE ELDERS AND OTHERS ARE COMMANDED TO TEACH THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TAUGHT.
Only God knows how to educate people: He IS the pater or Teacher. Jesus is still the head (only teacher of what He hears from the Father) at the corner or angle which is isolated from the multitude and silent. Don't go near a rich and famous mega-church because Jesus sows strong delusions.
Matt. 13:34 All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matt. 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Matt. 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
The reason for such hatred and efforts to confiscate property is promised by Jesus. And the reason they can preach long sermons without letting Jesus get a word in. They may not understand but Jude says that they were FOREORDAINED TO THIS JUDGMENT.Genesis 49 warns not to get entangled with Levi and the Levites but to WAIT or for SHILOH. REST from the Priests and Levites or the head of a commercial religious institution IS the gospel.
Gal. 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that
God would justify the heathen through faith,
preached before the gospel unto Abraham,
saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
1Pet. 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed,
that not unto themselves,
but unto us they did minister the things,
which are now reported unto you by them
that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost
sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Gal. 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Gal. 3:27 For [enim: what I mean is that] as many of you
as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal. 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s,
then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Matt. 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said,
I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
because thou hast HID these things FROM the WISE and prudent,
and hast REVEALED them unto babes.

"First, [ecumenical] is biblical. “Ecumenical” is from the Greek word oikoumena, which is used 15 times in the New Testament for “the entire inhabited world.” The most interesting passage that relates to the modern meaning is Matthew 24:14: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”
However, this verse had a context:
Matt. 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matt. 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matt. 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Britannica: The ancient Middle East constituted an ecumene. The term ecumene comes from the Greek word oikoumene, which means the inhabited world and designates a distinct cultural-historical community.
"The ancient Middle East made a place for homosexuality and bestiality in its myths and rites. In the Asherah cult the qedeshim priests had a reputation for homosexual practices, even as the qedeshot priestesses for prostitution. Israel eventually banned both the qedeshim and qedeshot, while in Ugarit the and kohanim were priestly guilds in equally good standing. Baal is portrayed in Ugaritic mythology as impregnating a heifer to sire the young bull god. The biblical book of Leviticus (18:22--27) bans homosexuality and bestiality expressly because the Canaanite population had been practicing those rites, which the Hebrews rejected as abominations.

Why don't we at least entertain the possibility that the Bible simply reflects an ANCIENT TABOO or homophobic prejudice in a few people like Paul -- a taboo and prejudice we need to outgrow?
Lev. 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Lev. 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Lev. 18:24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Lev. 18:25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants
Churches of Christ have endured hatred for resting practices on Holy Scripture and rejecting ecumenicalism. They choose to be PART of the world because they are unable to READ the text they refuse to love.

From the beginning God honored those who loved Him and practiced social Justice. Moses wrote that God is said to have RESTED on the seventh day, he was writing to those who had been saved out of captivity but had profaned that day of rest by reverting to the worship of Egyptian gods and goddesses by feasting. instrumental music and sexual and homosexuality before the golden calf Golden Calf.
Churches of Christ rejects Instrumental Music or any Performance "worship" leaders. Worship means that God wants "bowing low in submission" or often Falling on your face. No group is so hated and targeted for hostility as those who refuse to even sing except "for or learning."
Jesus said that God HIDES from the wise or sophists. That is why they cannot find a single person said to worship God by performance singing or playing an instrument. Being under strong delusions they claim that God commanded instrumental music and soaring rhetoric.

Church Top Church New TestamentClapping Hands as Worship Top Throughout the Bible and lots of secular history, clapping of hands was to insult the loosers. Hand clapping is defined by the same word as "driving a tent peg into the brain." It is a MARK that a people have been captured. In the new Purpose Driven Cult it is a way to train up immature children to become immature adults addicted to self-directed worship. Hand clapping and singing says more about one's gender than they may want to be known. Classical Literature Top
Core Gospel, the Top Creationism Top Bishop Ussher said that God created the WHOLE universe in 4004 B.C. Lightfoot making fun of Ussher making fun said: "No. God created the universe at 9:00 AM, October 23, 4004 B.C. and closer than that he couldn't calculate." Preachers say if you will buy my books and call me to lecture I will show you how God did it. Science says, "no, the universe was created 20 billion years ago and we know exactly how it was done back to within one trillionth of a second and if you will give me money and take my course I will give you the secret. Ooops! it was really only 10 billion years ago." Jesus said that God had always revealed in parables from the foundation of the world and Job and Jeremiah confirm it.

Elders Top
Do Elders Exercise Command Authority: Authority of Elders. Elders are beginning to insist that the congregation must "obey" their command rulership "even if we teach false doctrine." Their followers actually identify them as "celestial beings" which must not be questioned. Elders rule by teaching and disciples obey by conforming to the teaching but only to the extent that the elders "teach that which has been taught." Obedience is to the teaching and the "outcome of the lives of the elders." Elders are not elected but identified as those "already laboring to the point of exhaustion in teaching and preaching." Elders increasling follow the Saddle Back or Purpose Driven Cult in levels of membership and the signing of covenants.
Erasmus Index Top I love rotten old, syphilis infected, widow exploiting priest and humanist scholar, Irascible Erasmus. He knew clergy scams because he was one. He makes fun of the exploiting of the clergy, then and now. He is merciless on the monks (preachers), clergy, princes and popes. He "praises folly." He produced the first Greek New Testament which became the Textus Receptus (received text) as the basis for the KJV. Exodus Pattern for Church Worship and Community Top The latest coming out of "christian" universities and the pulpits more and more manned by philosophers, theatrical experts and communications experts is that rather than the musical idolatry at Mount Sinai which doomed Irael being an utter defeat, it is actually re constructed by Rubel Shelly and others as as An approved Pattern for Christian Worship and Community. While God turned Israel over to worship the starry host including the sun, Rubel Shelly teaches that by reversing this pattern God actually said that "we can worship the S.O.N. God as the S.U.N. God.
Familiar Spirit Top The "familiar spirit" of the witch of Endor is defined as an empty wineskin. Because it was hollow, one could mumble and whisper into it and claim to speak from the dead. The word "nebel" or harp has the same meaning while the "booming gongs" of 1 Corinthians 13 was the hi-tek bronze vase used as a bell or echo chamber to panic the enemy into cowardice. All pagans believed or claimed that the gods or demons lived in musical instruments. Fathers, Church Top Fathers, Church 57 Ancient Documents The Ante- and Post- Nicean church "fathers" are the writing scholars of Syria, Africa, Greece and Rome. Some were at time church servants and they all leave a record of the trials and triumphs of the church of Christ before it came under civl control and afterward. We have especially selected those documents which deal on baptism, the Godhead, worship and the nature of the Godhead. None ever saw God as three people. Giving as worship Top Jesus paid the temple tax, sent the "doctors of the law" packing and Paul authorized looking out for the starving but then insisted that this was NOT A COMMANDMENT.
Gnosticism Top 16 Ancient Gnostic documents. Gnosticism and Neo-Gnosticism in Musical Worship Teams: The Zoe Concept The views of Gnosticism begin in the garden of Eden. Because Eve (mother of the living) was taught by the serpent (the musical enchanter) she as Mary (mother of god) she becomes Sophia and Zoe. Sophia is the serpent and Zoe is the Beast: the female instructing principle. She is the feminine side of Lucifer who was the serpent or musician in the garden of Eden Grace Centered Cult Top The Grace-Centered movement gives permission as a Post-Modern, Post-Biblica movement to attack those who believe that "grace teaches" and grace or charisma is the power God gives to live according to His will. See how the movement promotes spectacle worship which is identical in action and purpose to neo-paganism or witchcraft.
Hand-Clapping, Body Drumming, Mind Altering See under Clapping above Hands, Lifting "holy" hands Top No one really "lead public prayers." Prayer is personal. Lifting holy hands would be like one holding a book for reading: palm up. There is no concept of "lifting holy arms" above your head whereas this has always said more about one's gender than they may want to say. To lift one's hands is to turn the palms upward as did David in lifting up his hands to God's commandments. Defense by Participant of Madison Church Harps in Heaven? Yes, for the dead. The universal theme in the ancient world and defneded by John is that those who died in the Lord live a life of ease and happiness. However, for those still alive (that's us) the message is that we must preach the gospel: does not mean sing the gospel. Harps in Revelation Lots of Pictures Heglian Dialectic Top The communistic method of resolving conflict by a pretending to compromise but "facilitating" people to compromise upon the facilitator's views or the views of those who hired the "comflict resolution team." Antionio Gramsci: Post Modernism Defines Narrative Theology Hitler Top We have added Hitler because his methods are widely used in modern mind control and regulating churches in a dictatortial way. Like the "circles of membership" cults afflicting the modern church, Hitler identified the few rational leaders who used spectacle including music to control the workers as "human material." Hitler: Völkish State: Supporters (emotional) and Leaders (Intellectual) Hohenwald, Tennessee Top Holy Spirit Top "Spirit" does not mean "person." And "Holy Spirit" is not the name of a "member" of the god family. Spirit in both Hebrew and Greek means the "mental disposition" of a perso. God is The Spirit and because He is not COMPOSED of anything not Spirit then He is Holy or Pure Spirit. As God's Holy Spirit is to the Mind of Christ (1 Cor 2) my spirit is to my mind: mind and spirit are often interchangeable. This table is the way classical trinitarians or inventers of the word identify the SON of the FATHER as the WORDS which are made audible to mankind.
There is only ONE God. The 1940's view of God as a family, clan or committee is a destructive heresy. The word "trinity" in the historical views NEVER envisioned three, separated persons of a God family. Neither is God a person: I am a person (people) but I am not god; my dog has personality but he is not God. The writers did not use the word person but personae. That is, the ONE, undividedGod manifests Himself in three images. At time, He is Arm, Door or Way but these are personificatons. We will look at most of the major historical writings about the Godhead but never find three gods holding a planning conference. Holy Spirit, Word of Christ Connection Top "Spirit" means mental disposition and Jesus said "my Words are Spirit and Life" (John 6:63). Throughout the NT an identity is drawn between the Spirit or Mind of Christ and the Words of Christ. Holy Spirit A Direct Experience Top Holy Entertainment Top "Facilitated" by the Jubilee movement in Nashville, some churches have been driven into seeing worship as whatever gets the charismatic juices flowing. This began as an offshoot of the Willow Creek Movement of holy entertainment. The heart of the Purpose Driven cult is to virtually eleminate teaching the Bible and provide a Venue for Rock and Roll and Rap (Rubel Shelly). Fred Peatross Pulls no punches in defining Spectacle Worship in terms identical to neo-paganism and witchcraft. Instrumental Music By Authors Top Instrumental Music By Authors Over 300 ancient and modern documents on music as worship. The See a great summary of why Presbyterians and others rejected music as worship because music had never been used in "worship." "Music" is never used in the Bible to describe spiritual worship to God. Rather, the Greek Sumphonia speaks of true music which in the classics is often defined as "singing and dancing." Music defines the end-time Babylonian Harlot worship as it defined the beginning Babylonian religion at the towers of Babylon. Paul never commanded "singing" as we know it. Rather, his often direct command is to "teach one another" and the only resource available to us is "that which has been written" (Rom 15), The Spirit (Eph 5) which Jesus said is His Word (John 6:63) and "the word of Christ" (Col. 3). Complex harmony (organum) accomplishes the same mind-deluding goal as instrumental music. Both defeat the purpose for which Paul used the word "singing" as the internal result of outward speaking or teaching or preaching. Instrumental Music Chronological Top May surprise you but the serpent in the garden is clearly a Lucifer figure in both a male and female role. In the female role she is Sophia (serpent) and Zoe (beast). They force the junior jehovah to form a musical worship team. Music can be evil when it takes away the demand to teach the Word with the singing and melody in th heart. This index is arranged by major periods of ancient and modern history. Islam Top Islamic Worship: Makes Satan and Musical "worship" connection The Koran (Coran) Jewish Top Josephus Top JOSEPHUS. These papers
are not yet on The Bible words in the Hebrew or Greek hold vastly more information than translators have been able to stuff into English words. However, men like Josephus lived at a time when the New Testament was new and the knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic and Koine Greek was fresh. Josephus speaks of the Antiquities of the Jews including his own retelling of all of the Biblical events. Jubilee and the Y2K expectations Top Reviews of published documents on the Jubilee and The New Wineskins Movement In 1987 the Pope called for Jubilee 2000 with intermediate Jubilees. Rubel Shelly, Steve Flatt formed the Jubilee Corporation to promote the urge for an ecumenical church which if not organized with would recognize a one world religion. The CORE gospel and the Post Modern, Post Biblical view made it difficult to throw away old views and form a music to restructure churches of Christ around a Gnostic structure. To that end they organized huge gatherings to teach people how to "raise holy hands, clap hands, lay on hands, sing and play instruments around the Asherah poles" and a host of efforts in an attempt to fracture the old churches of Christ and give them a second incarnation as a neo-pagan system. The Jubilee implies a need for an atonement which one gained, like the Catholics, by attending the mass meetings and denouncing the old churches. This Jubilee pattern includes the idea of breaking up the ownership of individual property and returning it to the "tribal groups." Kabbalah: Law and Temple as Judgment Top While Christians are tempted to skip the real story and see the temple as God's ordained place and method of worship. the Bible would say: nonsense. When Jerusalem fell for the last time the Jewish scholars rejected their traditions and returned to the Old Testament. They were quite astounded to find that the Law had been added because of transgression and the Temple was "like the nations" or a pagan temple because that is what the Israelite demanded to go along with their human king. Kingdom of God Top
Koran Top Index of Resource Lifting Hands as Ritual Paul always identifies prayer as "praying in the spirit." That means praying in the homan mind or spirit even as Jesus demanded that ALL worship be in the PLACE of the human mind (nous) which is the holy place(naos) where God meets us. He does not define a pecking order of leading prayer but the spiritual qualifications for both male and female to pray "in their spirit."
Locke, John Top John Locke is largely responsible for the political and religious freedom we enjoy. Locke warned that a church is not a "Christian" group which does not depend upon the document of the church, the Bible, as its authority for faith and practice. We have cross referenced Locke with Thomas Campbell's Declaration and Adress.

It is related to grinding the enemy to death and the SOP Jesus fed Judas. Meriwether Lewis Top Meriwether Lewis Miracles Top Seems like all of life is a miracle. Certainly answered prayer is supernatural. However, the term "answered prayer" and "a miracle" have different meanings. In fact, Jesus got Himself threatened with death to suggests that "miracles are rare." A miracle is "God's design of certifying that this teacher or leader has been commissioned by him." (Luke 4:27). Those in the synagogue flew into an orge of wrath and tried to throw Him off a high hill. So, if answered prayer is a miracle Jesus said "there won't be many." Miracles Most urges for modern miracles is to get a direct control of the "Spirit Person" and get new revelaton. John Calvin addressed this false idea about continuing revelation. Narrative Theology Top Most preaching flows from Narrative Theology. This is the notion that all of the Scriptures have been sifted to fit the personal agenda of the Bible writers. Therefore, there is no truth except as we can narrate it to become the Moses or Jesus for our age. Narrative Theology affirms a given community's right to come up with its own interpretation, or to "write" its own new biblical text. And, what is the purpose of reading texts, for narrative theologians? Why, of course, to affirm the self."

Praise Leader as Mediators Top Praise Singing as a Ritual Top One of the oldest superstitions is that by singing praise songs you literally enabled the feeble god to "hold up the sky" or to keep sending rain and good crops. To attract the gods, then and now, the praise hymns were self-directed (me and my wonderful feelings) and were often erotic: having a PERONAL relationship with a god.

Singing as Worship Top
There is no command to sing as an act of worship in the New Testament. The direct command it to TEACH one another. In Romans 15 the resource is "that which has been written," In Ephesians 5 the Spirit and in Colossians 3 it is the Word of Christ. Jesus said that His Words ARE spirit and life. Singing in the Greek world was a purely "secular" activity while speaking was a religious activity. Melody is not Harmony but the word "melody" speaks of the grinding into powder by the warriors chant. It is derived from the twanging bowstring sending a singing arrow into your heart. It is related to the SOP Jesus had fed Judas: the Judas Bag carried "mouthpieces of wind instruments." Even what David did as "worship" was speaking to himself with the Word and "musing" on it or making melody in his own heart or spirit--even on his bed at night.Spiritual Worship Top Series of articles beginning hereSoothsaying Top Soothsaying, Necromancy, Witchcraft. The serpent in the garden is not identified as a "snake" except in the sense of hissing or whispering. The Hebrew word defines the peoples skilled in enchanting or "charming" people into sin or out of their property by the mind-altering magic of music. The word "Chaldean" is almost equivalent to the word "astrologer." Jubal "handled" musical instruments where handled means "without authority." The familiar spirit of the witch of Endor was an empty wine or water skin. By mumbling into its hollow space it became like a "nebel" or the sounding brass of 1 Cor 13. People have still not grown above the superstition of being fooled that a musical performer is speaking the voice of angels or gods.Speaking in Tongues Top

Music was outlawed during these assemblies which were for instruction (Num. 10:7). The "people's congregation" worshiped in study of the word and in their own personal prayers. The temple was for the civil-state rituals. By analogy, Washington Cathedral is primarily for state "worship rituals."Tabernacle Top God ordained the tabernacle "within the camp" of Israel to be the symbolic sign of God's presence and the people's easy access. After Israel rose up to play in musical idolatry at Mount Sinai, God appointed the Levites to guard the Tabernacle against the approach of the people who were now "strangers." They were never in the Tabernacle or Temple during animal sacrifices. Temple Top
