Speak EXCLUDES music: Singing is Sorcery: John Told me So!
Posted Sep 5, 2006 10:30 PM
"Arousal singing" is any form which has been CALCUATED to create "mental excitement" in you. They SELL that as being worship or the Spirit inside. But, doesn't it stand to reason if you were Satan you would fill ALMOST ALL pulpits and have your singers BLEEDING OFF worship to them? Jesus didn't do it, outlawed it, Paul outlawed it and the church DID NOT practice it until they had fallen into deep apostasy and some bishops were not even Christians. They inform you in the Catholic Encyclopedia that they "added music because it was COMMON to all pagan cults." And that is why YOU do it.
In the "church in the wilderness" or the Qahal or synagogue God OUTLAWED any form of instrumental or singing excitement. Why? It was because the assembly was never called except for instruction. The command was to REST then read and rehearse the Word of God. The sabbath does not mean Saturday but REST: that word outlaws "speaking your own words" or even "sending out ministers."
The synagogue Jesus endorsed had no "praise service" because it was a school of the Bible. That is what Paul commanded and the church practiced. Singing was not an act of "worship" and was added generally about the year 400.
The GOSPEL tellls us to come REST and "learn of me." The burden He lifted is defined as "spiritual anxiety created by religious rituals." The word self-pleasure in Romans 15 outlaws anything which creates "mental excitement." The word is ARESKO and points specificially to ALL that we do in church as pagan.
ALL forms of singing which can CREATE a special feeling in you beyond SPEAKING the Word of God defines charming, or enchantment and John called the singers, musicians and speakers who use "techne" or craftsmanship SORCERERS. The Bible writers knew the VOCABULARY of the Greek world and ALL of the singing in religious rituals was seen as witchcraft. Why would you PAY someone to make you cry when Jesus identified that generation as children who PIPED trying to make you DANCE for excitement or mourn. Someone is tampering with your mind and it may be "purging" but it is not Christian.
All of the Bible writers used the terms which would communicate with even simple people. Because no performance preacher or singer has a clue to that vocabulary and culture, they PICK up the pagan practices and violate the direct command to SPEAK in a calm way "that which is written." If reading the Bible makes you weep that is okay; if someone MANIPULATES your mind to cause you to weep then ALL of the Bible and literature calls them SORCERERS. I am just now doing a study of the Athenian Law and those who did that were put into prison: if they did it for MONEY they would never get out of jail until they "paid the last" mite they stole from a widow. That is where "purgatory" came from.
The word REST which the Law gave and which Jesus RESTORED is a highly-dedicated word which means STOP whatever it is you are doing to other people.
Someone will tell you that this is wacko: let them find the word REST ever used in the Bible or the literature meaning to DO WORSHIP SERVICE (service means hard bondage). No one will ever find the word to mean PLAY INSTRUMENTS or SING because the village simple simon knew that music forces your body to DO WORK.
Pauô, includes to: bring to an end, stop or silence by death, take one's rest, cease, have done, of one singing or speaking.
Pauô, includes to: stop the polemos or battle, fight, war: stop levying war against another, anaireisthai or airô egeirein, kathistanai, epagein to begin a war; p. poieisthai to make war, -- opp. to p. anapauein, kataluesthai to put an end to it, make peace, all in attic

1. song, a singing, whether the art of song, Hom.; or the act of singing, song, Il.
2. the thing sung, a song, Hom., etc.
3. the subject of song, Od.
Why is that important? Because aoiding is related to the MUSES of Revelation 18 and John called the SORCERERS.
Pauô, includes to: Stop worshipping the MUSES
kata-pauô put an end to, stop. The MUSES are the LOCUSTS in John's secret message and they work for Apollyon or the Devil and they perform sorcery.
3. depose from power, k. tina tês archês, tês basilêïês, Hdt.4.1, 6.64; tous turannous Id.5.38 , cf. 2.144, 7.105; Mousas depose them from their honours, cease to worship them, E. HF685 (lyr.):--Pass., tês basilêïês katepausthê Hdt. 1.130 , cf. 6.71.
You should be aware that Lucifer or Zoe goes back to the garden of Eden, shows up in the Babylonian tablets and is the singing and harp playing prostitute. The GOAL of Zoe was to force the little "jehovah" worship HER. When people PERFORM in speaking or singing or whatever you DO give heed to the PERFORMERS and that is Paul's ONLY word for worship. It has been called "the idolatry of talent."
Pauô, includes to: Stop the charismatic music which is with clanging cymbals:
Klangê [klazô] any sharp sound, such as the twang of a bow, the grunting of swine, the hissing of serpents, the barking of dogs, of song, Cassandra-prophecies

2. pass. sung or said after, morphês epôidon called after this form, Eur.
II. in metre, epôidos, ho, a verse or passage returning at intervals, a chorus, burden, refrain
I hope you didn't miss the fact that in Hebrew and Greek SINGING is called a BURDEN especially when it REPEATS words or phrases: Their yeas are not yeas and their nays are not nays.
The Pauo Jesus died to give us means: To Take Thy Rest:
Klisia a place for lying down, henceI. a hut, cot, cabin, such as besiegers lived in during long sieges, Il.:--that they were not tents, but wooden huts, appears from Il. 24.448 sq.; and when an army broke up, it burnt them on the spot, Od. 8.501
Ii. a couch or easy chair, Od., Pind.
2. a bed, nuptial bed, Eur.
Iii. a company of people sitting at meals, NTest.
Iv. a reclining or lying, Plut.
Pauo stop! have done! be quiet!
Do you believe that you are being used as a MONEY COW? Of course you don't! Jesus asks: "Shall He find faith when He returns?" Yes, but VERY LITTLE and they will all be OUTSIDE the Polis or groups where Paul said we would have to GO to find Him sitting quietly ready to teach ONLY in one or two rare groups where they are still faithful.
The word SPEAK in the "ekklesia" specificially EXCLUDES the word 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
