ALL of the Epistles prove TEACHING and never MUSIC.

All of the Epistles make a point of defining WHAT the people are to do as a collective. The synagogue or church in the wilderness, the synagogue Jesus TAUGHT or READ in, the commands of Paul and others and church history knows that music had no role to play in the school of the Bible. Who in the right mind would look for a "musical worship team" or an instrumental band leading the supreme court in getting into the SPIRIT?

Yet, those who twist ALL of the Scriptures to force the Spirit OF Christ to lie, whine that they cannot FIND any negative information about music as the WEAPON of Satan beginning in heaven. If they cannot then you shout quit feeding them and they will go away. If they pretend to be a teacher of the Law when they know nothing but twist everything then they are the agents the whole Bible warns against. In Revelation 18 the rhetoricians, singers and instrument players are called sorcerers who HAD deceived the whole world.

You have no reason to believe the Bible or be a Christian unless you accept the clear claim about fallen angels, wandering stars or sons of the Devil according to Jesus MARKED by their speaking on their own.

Didn’t Jesus say, "Suffer the little children to come unto me"? I wonder how many little children would get their early Christian training if there was no music in the church, or they could not dress up and be a shepherd or an angel in the Christmas play. I've watched those children's faces light up in wonder as they proclaim their faith with the sweet voice of their song. How many teenagers would pledge their hearts to Christ if the churches were such a somber place that no voice was raised in joyful praise?

Are you, like the Pharisees of old, so stuck on the letter of the law that you have forgotten the Lamb's message? Was it not "Love thy neighbor as yourself"? Yet I have heard you compare black gospel music to "voodoo" without a single thought for the feelings of millions of black people who raise their voices to the Lord with simple purity of heart. People whose lives are downtrodden often need song to lift their spirits, yet you give not a one of them compassion; and even dare compare those who are sincere of heart and sing joyfully in choirs to devil worshippers. Who are you to judge them?

Though I appreciate your web site because it has many ancient texts not generally found elsewhere, I must admit that as a Christian, not once have I felt uplifted by all the preaching you have done. You seem to damn folks whose hearts are weary and whose lives are often filled with woe. If the downtrodden find their hope and joy by raising voice in Christian song, who are you to condemn them? Jesus was about bringing hope and faith to our hearts and souls. He meant to give our spirits wings, yet it seems to me you would be far happier if our souls were all encaged in dull, grey prison walls where joyful voices are never raised in praises to the Lord.

I've been to lots of Christian churches over the years, and there was music in them all. Not once have I ever seen people draw pentagrams on the walls or strip off their clothes in some sort of ecstatic "whirling dervish trance" and copulate on the floor. I really think you folks need to get a life, or at least some semblance of Christian discernment, least ye be found guilty of straining at gnats while you swallow the camel whole.

...........................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)
