Psalmos (g5563) psal-mos'; from 5567;
1 a set piece of music, i.e. a sacred ode
accompanied with
the voice,
harp or
other instrument;
2. a "psalm";
3. collect. the book of the Psalms: - psalm. Comp. 5603.
The pro-instrumentalists pay no attention to the SEMICOLONS. This is why Tom Burgess, A. Ralph Johnson and the ditto heads make 2. a "psalm" jump back to mean "sing a PSALM with an ODE and an INSTRUMENT."
Now, Paul DIRECTLY COMMANDED that they SPEAK to one another. One SPEAKS with the VOICE and no "works of the human hands" can SPEAK from its heart. That is why Psalm 150 demands that those things WITH BREATH praise God. Speak means to TALK, UTTER WORDS, PREACH, SAY, SPEAK. That is why Paul called mechanical instruments LIFELESS INSTRUMENTS or CARNAL WEAPONS
Psocho (5597) pso'-kho; prol. from the same base as 5567; to triturate, i.e. (by anal.) to rub out (kernels from husks with the FINGERS or hand): - rub.
Psalmos has the same base meaning as SOP which is ground up by Jesus, dipped and hand fed to Judas. Iits ROOTS, like all musical terms and names of instruments have Satanic, warfare, prostitution or sodomy as their source. Killing innocent animals as SURROGATE Christ's was with SOUND and not MUSIC. The Levitical Warrior Musicians served the priests and their service is called HARD BONDAGE. This is related to Apollo, Apollyon or Abaddon who DIGS up the locusts or Muses or musical performers right about now. Apollo or Abaddon is the FATHER of musical harmony, shooting literal or love arrows, thieves and liars.
Psalmos is a SONG: Psallo is what you DO with it. The division and false teaching is based on the word PSALLO. That's simple!
PSALLO was, for the first time in all of history, dug up by the Stoneites to try to justify the massive sowing of discord through musical sectarianism. That was in 1878. Tim and the "scholars" hate history and the RESTORATION scholars have a nasty habit of lying about history KNOWING that people will not look up what ALL church scholars knew before the Stoneites--separate and apart from the Campbell church of Christ. If THEY say EVERONE approved of instrumental music and HISTORY says noone approved of instrumental music you can see why the book burners want to keep ALL DATA BASES chained to the pulpit. But the chain broke and the raging bulls with false preachers stuffed in their mouths have found their wings. [I like to mix them up] So, that is WHY we look at the verbal form because THAT is the only thing deliberate sowers of discord can hang onto as they look fearfully toward the place where God sent Israel, Egypt, Assyria and Babylon to the BEAT OF INSTRUMENTS.
Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon
Psallô [psaô]
I. to touch sharply, to pluck, pull, twitch, Aesch.; toxou neuran meaning bow strings
to twang the bow-string, Eur.; belos ek keraos [horn]
to send a shaft twanging from the bow,
carpenter's red line, which is twitched and then suddenly let go, so as to leave a mark, id=Anth.
Only in a secondary sense does the word mean to PLUCK HARP STRINGS with the FINGERS. The defined act is PLUCKING and not the resulting MUSIC.
II. to play a stringed instrument WITH the FINGERS, not with the PLECTRUM,
2. later, to sing to a harp,
sing, New Testament
Psallo is NOT DEFINED as a musical word: it is simply used of sounds made like the twanging of a BOW STRING which "rang" and were therefore "musical." However, in a given context, NEVER in the Bible or in ANY Hebrew or Greek literature is one word used to mean "sing with musical accompaniment." You ALWAYS see three things: 1) sing, 2) PLUCK and 3) Pluck WHAT? The instrument is always named. Paul named the FIRST INSTRUMENT OF CHOICE for psalm or song.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years,
according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years
shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Is.23:15
HOW DOES A HARLOT SING AS A TYPE OF LUCIFER OR ZOE?
Take an harp , go about the city,
thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet melody , sing many songs,
that thou mayest be remembered. Isa 23:16
This can have no application to wind instruments or percussion instruments. You cannot PLUCK a flute, organ or piano, drums, cymbals: nothing but a HARP which with ABADDON was the same as his BOW.
HERE IS THE UNIVERSAL MOTIVE FOR POLLUTED RITUALS
Nay, rather, to speak out more truly, the augurs, the dream interpreters, the SOOTHSAYERS, the prophets, and the PRIESTLINGS, ever vain, have devised these fables; for they,
fearing that their own arts be brought to nought, and that they may extort but scanty contributions from the devotees, now few and infrequent,
whenever they have found you to be willing that their craft should come into disrepute, cry aloud, the Gods are neglected, and
in the temples there is now a very thin attendance. For ceremonies are exposed to derision, and the time-
honoured rites of institutions once sacred have sunk before the superstitions of new religions.
And men--a senseless race--being unable, from their inborn blindness, to see even that which is placed in open light,
dare to assert in their frenzy
what you in your sane mind do not blush to believe. (Arnobius Against the Heathen, Ante-Nicene Fathers, VI, p. 418).
Similar Latin:
Latin Psallo
I. In general: to play upon a stringed instrument; esp., to play upon the cithara,
II. In particular, in ecclesiastical. Lat.in to sing the Psalms of David, Hier. Ep. 107, 10; Aug. in Psa. 46; 65; Vulg. 1 Cor. 14, 15
Sorry, I know that the "scholars" are busy little bees REVISING the Bible and church history. That is why they JUST INVENTED what they WANTED to do because THEY knew that they could FLEECE your skin. That is why they claim and are PROFITS. And to prove the destructive ROOTS of ALL musical terms:
Revello, velli, vulsum or volsum, 3, v. a., to pluck or pull away, to pull or tear out, to tear off or away (freq. and class.).
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.
Sorry TIM I have looked at the Bible and other texts. There is NO EXCEPTION to the rule that SINGING or ODEING in an external sense meant to EXCITE or PLEASURE under the ploy of ENCHANTING or being a HIRED SORCERER. The instrument of the Witch of Endor was an old, hollow wineskin or echo chamber. Her ventriloquism which reverberated was her FAMILIAR SPIRIT. When you play games with God He may send you a spirit of delusion.
Of ALL of the proof texts used by the "scholarly" Stoneites now RIDING the once Christian colleges, there is NO EXCEPTION to the rule that every instance of flute-girls or harp players in the feasts which were always religious in nature, the context is that of prostitutes or Sodomites serving as "the ministers of the gods" as with Cyble or any of the Mother Gods.
If you cannot grasp SPEAK or PREACH or TEACH you may not grasp that IN the heart means in the new PLACE of the human spirit which Jesus said was the ONLY place God will even look for us.
The word for EXCITE or PLEASURE is outlawed in Romans 15. If you SPEAK with one MOUTH and one MIND "that which is written" then EVERYONE can attend SYNAGOGUE or school of the Bible. That is because the kingdom of God is NOT about eating or drinking OR by singing or playing or clapping or lusting for the TEAM. Just as those for whom "Tim and my house will follow" they have REMOVED the name of CHRIST from their logo and I think that they truly HAVE HAD a lying vision where Jesus Christ forces them to remove HIS name from their pagan institution.

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