      I agree that singing, even when reading words from a song book, is still singing. But, you have not convinced me that singing, even when accompanied by musical instruments, isnt still singing; even if you claim it is an entirely different activity. By the way, how does singing become something other than singing when an instrument accompanies it?

      The command is to SPEAK that which is written: Speak is the opposite of poetry or music. People "set their lies to melodies to deceive the simple minded." Because the sole purpose is to TEACH THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, the gift of A holy spirit would prevent people from MAKING NOISE while the WORD of Christ (Col 3) or Spirit (Eph 5) or "that whichis written" (Rom 15) is being dispense.

      Singing as in performing the ACT of singing and singing Twila Paris or Fanny Crosby violates direct comands and approved examples for ANYONE assembled to TEACH the word of God. Adding instrumental (machines for doing hard work) SOUND to the vocal sounds makes into something DIFFERENT. You cease to SING and become part of the MACHINE and your TEACHING role is DESTROYED: music means to "make the victim's message dumb." Music intends to "make the LAMB dumb before the slaugher." That was what they DID to Jesus momentarily as a SIGN of fulfilled prophecy.

      The assembly is the Qahal, synagogue or Church of Chrsit in the wilderness: it was for the civillians.
      1. The command was to REST from the laded burden: a burden in Greek and Hebrew is singing to arouse the flesh.
      2. The command was to READ the Word of God where the synagogue would be small groups in their own area: work outlawed "sending out ministers of God." You don't NEED ministers when you PREACH Moses by READING Moses.
      3. The command was to rehearse or discuss the Word of God--ONLY

      By the direct command of Christ that EXCLUDED vocal or instrumental rejoicing.

      That was the synagogue or SCHOOL OF THE WORD which existed throughout the Old Testament.
      That was appoved by Jesus by attending Synagogue, standing up to READ and SITTING down for discussion.
      The sacrificial system was ABANDONED to worship the starry host and was a virtual slaughter of their "gods" and was quarantined BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. No one NOT of the tribe of Levi could be INSIDE the walls and Jacob warned you NOT to attend the assemblies of LEVI. This was the old Egyptian/Babylonian worship of the STARS to which God ABANDONED the Levi's BECAUSE of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.

      SPEAK one to another is what you do in the AUDIBLE world: that is what even Simple Simon knows to do when he attends SCHOOL.
      SingING and makING are INAUDIBLE or in the PLACE of the human spirit directed to God: God is not deaf.

      If YOU are hired to tell people how to EXCAPE a BURNING SHIP, your method of instruction is to SPEAK.
      If some effems get up sing, clap with or without instruments you KNOW that they want you to BURN with the SHIP.
      That is why speakers, singers and instrument players are called SORCERERS working for the Babylon mother of harlots who wants YOU to keep HER company while SHE burns.

      That is why from Genesis to Revelation wind, string and percussion instruments are the WARNING MARKS of Satan. He/she/it wants to STEAL the worship for herself (Lucifer or ZOE).

      The PURPOSE is to TEACH, praise God, comfort with SCRIPTURE and prevent discord (Rev 15).

      Christ in the Wilderness OUTLAWED vocal or instrumental rejoicing during SCHOOL OF THE BIBLE.
      No Jew ever "sang congregationally with or without instruments" which make noise.
      Christ CONFIRMED the synagogue as a place to READ and DISCUSS the Word opf God.
      Paul outlawed singing if you can define the concept of SELF-PLEASURE.
      No one misunderstood that EVER NEVER. However, singing as an ACT was imposed after Constantine let the pagan priests into the church: the Catholic Encyclopedia says that MUSIC was added because it was COMMON to all PAGAN CULTS. That was in 373 in just a few temples taken over by the Catholics.

      However, not even the Catholics fell into CONGREGATIONAL SINGING with INSTRUMENTAL ACCOMPANIMENT.
      After the Reformation you could not OBEY the direct command to use the BIBLICAL TEXT and SING because none of it is METRICAL. Therefore, the protestants ADDED congregational singing AFTER radically recomposing the Psalms (only) to make singing POSSIBLE.

      When the Father (within the Son) delivered Spirit (breath) it was WITHOUT METER. That becomes a MARK that when you "turn the word of God into songs" you are doing what Jesus accused the Pharisees and Scribes of doing so that they could be HYPOCRITES. The same Spirit of Christ identified the hypocrites as performance speakers, singers and instrument players.

      The Greek language identifies a HYPOCRITE of the first order as rhetoricians or what the preacher does when he scrambles the Words of God and makes an omlet so YOU will pay him for "making the voice of the victim silent."

      A HYPOCRITE is secondly a SINGER where all of the VOCAL SINGING words were the vocation of the MYTH MONGERS who were NOT permitted in Athenian Law to write TRUE HISTORY. Old Wives tales or fables are composed by religious composers who are primarily females or effeminate "ruling over you" by supplying the music.

    ...........................THE BOOK

    What Happened At the Madison Church of Christ?


    There are thousands of churches being taken over across America.

    This book is only about one of those churches. It's about the Madison Church Of Christ. By studying the methods used here along with the resource references you might be able to inoculate your church. At the very least you will recognize the signs early on.

    Many of the current members of the Madison Church of Christ still don't know what happened.
    Some never will know! This book is for them as well.

    Madison Church of Christ was a 60 year old church. At one time it was one of the largest churches in the US, and the largest Church of Christ.

    It thrived for many years on the vision of it's elders and those of it's ministers. Those visions undoubtably came from the the inspired word of Jesus Christ.

    At sometime in the last 10 years there was a deliberate plan by a majority of the elders to take the Madison Church of Christ into a more worldly realm.

    They used secrecy, covert planning, and outside sources to scheme and to change the format and direction of the Madison Church of Christ.

    The Elders knew that the membership would never approve such a plan. Using the tools of the "Community Church Movement"(consultants, books, seminars, meetings,planters,seeders) they slowly started initiating change so it was never noticed by the members until it was too late.....

    At the heart of the plan was the fact that old members were going to be driven off so new techniques could be used to go out and reach the unchurched through new "Contemporary Holy Entertainment" methods developed by the "Community Church Movement"

    Old members had to be kept on board long enough to get their plans ready, or the funds would not be there to pay for the new building. So by the plans very nature, it had to be secret.

    The church had no plan in effect to renew or approve elders. There was never any need. The elders had always been "as approved by God". 10 of the last 15 elders would begin to shed some doubt on that.

    The Elders did not even need a majority at first, because some of the elders went along unwittingly.

    This edition starts shortly after some of the members begin to smell something strange in January 2001. Later editions may go back and fill in some of the timeline.

    To even start to understand whats happening here, you must read the background materials in the first of the book.

    This is only the first edition, and not the end. New editions will be printed as needed. To keep abreast of current changes, please visit our web site; http://www.concernedmembers.com/madison

    Here is the list of players;

    5 Godly Elders
    10 Not so Godly Elders
    120 "Deacons" (allegiance unknown)
    2,800 - 4,000 church "members"
    2 "teners" (people who have publicly confessed to have broken all ten commandments)
    Unknown number of "sinners" (This is what the 10 elders call us.)
    Unknown number of "demons" (Flying everywhere, to many to count)
