  • RIVERSIDE is PLANTING Heresy and a COMMUNE #2

    • Posted Jan 11, 2006 8:56 PM

        Mike Armout A few weeks ago we noted in passing, didn't call a lot of attention to it, a principle from Romans 1 where the apostle Paul makes a scathing indictment of the immorality of the Roman and Greek culture. He says on three different occasions in that description of their immorality that God gave them over to even more degrading passions because they chose not to remember him. But as Paul describes what begins this journey into degradation, he says the Greek and the Roman cultures made two mistakes.
      If you read the WHOLE book you will discover that Paul has problems with the pagan sects as well as the Jews who resented the Gentiles being Christians until they became PREDESTINATED JEWS. Paul puts the Jews and Gentiles in the same status:
        Mike Armout First he says, "Though they knew God, they did not honor him as God." Secondly, they were not grateful. Every time I come across that statement in Romans 1, I'm caught up short. If you were asked what are the roots of immorality and degradation in a society, how many of us would put ingratitude at the top of the list. But Paul says that's where it started. It started because they did not have a spirit of genuine gratitude.
      Before Paul gets to THANKFUL (which you cannot do as a MUSICATING RITUAL) he says something more. It started because God had GIVEN the Jews The Book of the Covenant of Grace so that they KNEW the restatement of the Abrahamic Covenant. However, they worshipped the creature and turned to a MUSICAL ritual common to all pagans. This would DOOM them. Their KNOWLEDGE plus turning to MUSICAL WORSHIP Mike Armour approves was the PROOF or MARK of their ingratidued.

      Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God,
        They glorified him not as God,
        neither were thankful;
        but became vain in their imaginations,
        and their foolish heart was darkened.
      Paul says the same thing in 2 Cor 3 about the Jews who FELL because of musical idolatry. They tried to worship God with INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC which Mike Armour assigns to ignorant restorationists as their TRADITIONAL. Part of the MISSIONAL MADNESS which has been invented to replace the FAILED "church growth" cult includes DELIVERATELY imposing those same practices the FALSE LEADERS imposed at Mount Sinai.
        2 Cor 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:

        2 Cor 3: 14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.

        2 Cor 3: 15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.

        2 Cor 3: 16 Nevertheless, when it shall turn [only at baptism' to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

        2 Cor 3: 17 Now the Lord IS that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

        2 Cor 3: 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

      They fell into the same trap of DOCTORS OF THE LAW whom Jesus says "take away the key to knowledge."

      Rom 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

      Rom 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

      Rom 1:24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:


      For the ekklesia, synagogue or SCHOOL of the Bible in Romans 15 he does not leave this PLEASURING as a DIVERSITY which he intends to allow for DIALOG. The pleasuring is the same REPROACHES Jesus was prophesied to endure which was TO EXPOSE HIS PRIVATE PARTS. This pleasuring which is FACILITATED withou arousal singing LIFTS UP the mind to CARRY it away for the preacher's OWN PURPOSES.

      Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

      Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:


      Paul OUTLAWED women exercising authority in the assembly. This is AUTHENTIA which means "EROTIC AND MURDEROUS." They will have the GIRLY show going pretty quick to EXERCISE sexual authority which changes the NATURE of women.

      Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, BURNED in their LUSTE one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

      Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;


      JUST READ THE SERMONS FOR PROOF:

      When you REFUSE to have the WORD in your mind which is proven by SERMONIZING rather than teaching that which has been taught, God sends you STRONG DELUSIONS so you can slander churches of Christ and all of Church history while being ignorant of the MUSICAL IDOLATRY at Mount Sinai. For that idolatry Stephen and many others teach that GOD TURNED THEM OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOSTS (Acts 7)
        "The triumphal hymn of Moses had unquestionably a religious character about it; but the employment of music in religious services, though idolatrous, is more distinctly marked in the festivities which attended the erection of the golden calf." (Smith's Bible Dictionary, Music, p. 589).

        "In the New Testament there is nowhere any emphasis laid on the musical form of the hymns; and in particular none on instrumental accompaniment whereas this is significantly paganism." (Delling, Gerhard, Worship in the New Testament, trans. Percy Scott Phil. Westminster press, 1962, p. 86).

        "They sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. They practiced rites in which they made themselves naked, perhaps similar to those which were carried out by naked Babylonian priests." (Woodrow, p. 158).

      The word "play" is used of Samson as the pagans caused him to "sport" during their worship services of Dagon. Otherwise, the word is used only of David who performed an Egyptian form of naked dance as he moved the Ark to the one he had provided in Jerusalem. David was in fact separating the presence of God at the Tabernacle from the Ark of the covenant in which David believed that God lived.
        "Not to be overlooked here is the accompaniment of music and dancing which, with the character of the ensuing phenomena, makes the diagnosis (of idolatry) certain." (Schaff-Herzog, Ecstasy, p. 71).

        "And the people celebrated this feast with burnt-offerings and thank-offerings, with eating and drinking, i.e. with sacrificial meals and sports, or with loud rejoicing, shouting, antiphonal songs, and dances, in the same manner in which the Egyptians celebrated their feast of Apis(Herod. 2, 60, and 3, 27)." (Keil and Delitzsch, Vol. II, p. 222).

      That is part of the UNIVERSAL theme that when a group turns to MUSIC and especially by MALES performing "arousal" singing with or without instruments ALL of the resources mark them as PERVERTED and PERVERTING.

      The word Psallo or melody simply means to PLUCK to make a noise. Paul insisted that the melody be on the HEART STRINGS because EXTERNAL plucking spoke of literal warfare or males PLUCKING the harp strings to seduce the young "ministers of the gods" for pederasty.

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