If you use PSALLO or MELODY which Paul confined to be IN THE HEART OR SPIRIT as opposed to twanging a literal arrow (from Apollo's bow) you are left with MUSIC "built upon the foundation" of 100% warfare, prostitutes, Sodomites and hucksters. Furthermore, Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) is, like Jubal, the father of those who "handle" (meaning: Without Authority) twanging bow strings to send "singing" arrows to psallo (grind up like SOP) the literal heart. He is the father of thieves and liars. HE arouses the LOCUSTS who are MUSES as the "team" of Apollo. They are defined in John's Patmos arena as "musical performers." Since Psalm 18 defines the end-time HARLOT worship as involving singers, musicians and craftsment (techne) why would there be a SUDDEN repudiation of the Bible, the Classics, all of the church fathers and all of the founders of denominations?
Liddell and Scott, Intermediate notes of the ROOTS of Psallo:
PSALLO (psao)
I. to touch sharply, to pluck, pull, twitch, Aesch.; toxou NEURAN ps. [NERVUS , i, m. [root snar-; Old Germ. snara, a snare; Gr. neuron; cf. parvus and pauros] , a sinew, tendon, nerve. 5. A thong with which a person was bound, Plaut. Curc. 5, 3, 11; Veg. Mil. 4, 9.-- 6. The cords or wires by which a PUPPET is moved NEURON cord made of sinew, for fastening the head of the ARROW to the shaft ]
to TWANG the bow-string, Eur.; belos ek keraos ps. [connected to the 'horns' of the REVELATION BEAST which are "musical."
to send a SHAFT twanging from the bow, Anth.; so, schoinos miltophuręs psallomenę a
carpenter's red line, which is twitched and then suddenly let go, so as to leave a MARK, id=Anth.
II. to play a stringed instrument with the FINGERS, NOT with the plectron, Hdt., Ar., Plat.
A BOW was an effective ZITHER to try to melt the heart of the enemy as the Warrior Musicians tried to defeath Jesus Christ. If ten thousand men twang their bowstring it CREATES panic of FRENZY which is associated with MUSICA and CANTUS.
Paul outlaws LIFELESS INSTRUMENTS which are CARNAL WEAPON where the instrument and the weapon are from the same Greek word as they are also from the same Hebrew word.
Only in ATTIC but NOT in Koine Greek the word included its WEAPON OF WAR meaning. Religiously this was related to the CONTEST with Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) where the LOSER got applauded and SKINNED ALIVE. When used in a PEACABLE manner SINGING was defined by the word Psallo but ONLY in connection with ODEING the Inspired PSALMS. Paul used ODE and PSALLO in a parallel fashion:
2. later, to sing to a harp, SING New Testament.
To keep the FOOLS from getting FOOLED Paul insisted that the SPEAKING be one to another but the SINGING and MELODY be in the human heart or spirit which is the ONLY place God judges our worship. Paul even warns that the circumcized Jews worshipped IN THE SPIRIT to make sure that the "DOGS" and other evil people not try to get a JOB to aid you.
Similar Latin word does not include the "singing" meaning:
REVELLO, velli, vulsum or volsum, 3, v. a., to PLUCK or PULL away, to pull or TEAR OUT, to tear off or away
I. Lit. be torn away, remove,
II. Trop., to tear away, send away injurias honorificis verbis, Signum: A sign, signal; a watchword, password, given by a wind-instrument.
Injurius, a, um, adj. [2. in-jus] , that acts UNLAWFULLY, injurious, WRONGFUL, unjust
WHY WOULD A LITERATE PAUL INTEND TO SAY "SING AND MAKE MELODY WITH THE HARP?"
He would not and COULD NOT because SINGING with an INSTRUMENT is always a SPECIFIC WORD. A psalmODIA sings psalms with a harp. Paul DID NOT use ANY of but the human heart. A guitarIST is a singer with a guitar. He was identified as a PARASITE and excluded from the early church according to the Apostolic Constitutions
Blituri, to, twang of a harp-string: hence of a meaningless sound, S.E.M.8.133, D.L.7.57, Artem.4.2, Gal.8.662.
The word CLANGING which Paul used in 1 Cor has the same meaning:
klang-ę, hę, metapl. dat. klangi Ibyc.56 : ( [klazô] ):--any sharp sound, e.g. twang of the bow, Il.1.49; scream of birds, esp. cranes,
to which are compared confused cries of a throng, 3.3, Od.11.605, cf. Il.2.100, 10.523; grunting of swine, Od. 14.412; later,
howling of wolves and lions, h.Hom.14.4, cf. 27.8; hissing of serpents, Pi.Dith.2.18 (pl.), A.Th.381 (pl.);
baying of dogs, X.Cyn.4.5, etc.; [a "dog" being a catamite whose singing included making animal sounds]
also, of musical instruments, Telest.4, Mnesim.4.57 (anap.); of song, S.Tr.208 (lyr.); k. aędoneios (leg. -onios) Nicom. Trag.1; k. dusphatos, of Cassandra's prophecies, A.Ag.1152 (lyr.);
of the scream of the Harpies,
I know of no source where PSALLO includes an instrument. They all lie about Lucian of Samosata. They say that he said that "you cannot psallein without a harp." What he said was that you cannot PLAY the lyre if you HAVE NO lyre. And you cannot ride a horse if you have no horse. YOU are invited to find a jot or tittle of God's authority to worship Him with what He defines as noise.
In the Classics:
P. Vergilius Maro, Aeneid
She said, and from her quiver chose with speed
The winged shaft, predestin'd for the deed;
Then to the stubborn yew her strength applied,
Till the far distant horns approach'd on either side.
The bowstring touch'd her breast,so strong she drew; Whizzing in air the fatal arrow flew.
At once the twanging bow and sounding dart
The traitor heard, and felt the point within his heart.
Him, beating with his heels in pangs of death,
His flying friends to foreign fields bequeath.
The conqu'ring damsel, with expanded wings,
The welcome message to her mistress brings.
All SINGING which includes an INSTRUMENT names that instrument specificially. If you PSALMOS you do the same thing as SING. Metrical composition makes using an INSTRUMENT POSSIBLE but in Greek and the Britannica the HUMAN VOICE is the FIRST INSTRUMENT OF CHOICE.
No "scholar" can find any spiritual endorsement of INSTRUMENTS. On the contrary, a TRUE scholar will find ALL musical terms associated with WARFARE, prostitution (male and female) and pagan, superstitious, legalistic rituals.
The GONE MAD lust of the SCHOLARS to include instruments validates the action of Jesus who repudiated the DOCTORS OF THE LAW because "they take away the key to knowledge." Words like hermeneutis and exegesis derive directly from violating Peters law against FURTHER EXPOUNDING that which God in Christ has fully expounded.
Sorry, but they are all worshipers of MAMON, are Anti-Bible and therefore Anti-Christ. Their SCHOLARSHIP is self or bonded buddy VALIDATED and they couldn't pass Greek 101aaa. God sees to it that they are BLIND and DEAF when they turn from Christ. Rejecting the WORD is the unforgivable sin against the SPIRIT (Heb 6) and that is why have have to RID the Bible of the "epistles." Postmodern means "Schizophrenic."
ALL Greek "music" words speak of creating a FRENZY or PANIC: you are spiritual terrorists and you cannot find a jot or tittle in the whole history of the world to refute that charge.

...........................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
