Jesus of Nazareth is the son of man and Son of God:
Philippians 2 says
that Christ as God using instrumental means gave up His full majesty
and glory and took on the form of a man. Even more to be marked by the
world as a criminal worthy of death. God does not overwhelm us to
create faith: most miracles did not deter the blasphemers. You
have to believe that God who is invisible and inaudible and pure Spirit
or Mind without body parts can disclose His Mind to humans. THE
primary meaning of blasphemy is to minimize the Words of Christ and the
fulfilment byJesus of Nazareth whom God made to be both Lord and
Christ. Peter lists the prophets and the prophecies made more perfect
as THE resource for creating a spiritual mind in the disciple. A
disciple does not do ceremonial legalism but goes OUTSIDE of the
institutes to find Jesus and suffer reproaches against him. Those
inside the institutes will be blaspheming by making up their own songs
and sermons. This despises the Words of Christ: Paul in Romans 15
defines the synagogue which began in the wilderness: the role is to
PREACH the Word by READING the Word and discussing it. Paul outlaws
private interpretations which means "further expounding." That would
make the preacher superior to Jesus Christ. Second Peter Chapter One.
This, says Peter, is the only way to MARK the false teacher as false
prophets were MARKED.
Doctors of the Law whom Jesus fired for "taking away the key to
knowledge" DENY that they are bound by the the Word of Christ AS
WRITTEN: if Christ has not made a law AGAINST something then they have
the right to make a LAW which imposes it on you. They even say, get
over it or get out.
8.19.11 The
"pattern" for imposing instrumental music and sowing massive discord is
primarily 2 Chronicles 29 where Hezekiah (the king) proposed a
plague-stopping animal slaughter. What they missed is that the
Levites were tasked by Moses to slaughter 3,000 of the "brethren"
because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai. He sentenced them to
"bear the burden of their own sin" by being guards at the Tabernacle
gate to execute anyone who came too close.
The Levites under the King and
Commanders of the Army are clearly said to have made that great
crashing noise during the burnt offering of the Goats for Israel (the
musical sect) trying to get them to return to Jerusalem to protect
Hezekiah. Musical Performers following the pattern of the Levites still have the task of keeping any of the body out of the "holy places."
The Message of the Levites making noise is that they will KILL YOU if you question their authority.
In
Isaiah 8 Christ the SPIRIT said that if people do not speak
according to the Law and Testimony (by Christ the Spirit) there is no
light in them.
Therefore I say to you,
every sin
and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the
Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word
against the
Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the
Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in
the
age to come (Matthew 12:31-32).
1. The Spirit of Christ
defined the future REST and invites to "come learn of Me" both
inclusively and exclusively.
1Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner of time the
Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify,
when it testified beforehand the
sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
1Pet. 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves,
but unto us they did minister the
things,
which are now reported unto you
by them that have preached the gospel unto you
with the Holy Ghost sent down
from heaven;
which things the angels desire to
look into.
1Pet. 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober,
and hope to the end for the grace
that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1Pet. 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
Epithu_m-ia
Passion, Appetite 2.
. c. gen., longing after a thing, desire of
or for theaomai ,
theaomai gaze at, behold,
mostly with a sense of wonder, 3. view as
spectators, esp. in the theatre, Isoc.4.44; hoi theōmenoi the spectators, Ar.Ra.2, cf.Nu.518,
Rev. 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me,
See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that
have the testimony of Jesus
2. The SPIRIT of Christ
is that which Moses promised when the Israelites rose up in musical
idolatry at Mount Sinai and never achieved the promised Rest:
2Cor. 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:
2Cor. 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.
2Cor. 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon
their heart.
2Cor. 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall
be taken away.
2Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty.
2Cor. 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
3. Christ repudiated the Civil-Military-Clergy complex as
robbers and parasites: they had been ABANDONED to the worship of the
starry host. In all of the Prophets Christ MARKED religious music as
that which made the people BLIND and DEAF and famished for the Word of
God.
4. Those who deny that Christ is the sole authority for
Commands, Examples and Inferences CENI follow the patternism of
the cursed tribe of Levi. They deliberately hide the SPIRIT OF CHRIST
in the prophets which MARKS them. Therefore, they blaspheme the Spirit
OF Christ by ignoring the message of the Spirit.
Assuredly, I say to you,
all sins will be
forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but
he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is
subject to eternal condemnation—because they said, “He has an
unclean
spirit” (Mark 3:28-30).
And anyone who
speaks a word against the Son
of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the
Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven (Luke 12:10).
Blasphemy is well defined in the prophets by Christ the Spirit.
Whatever Christ reveals in the prophets or Jesus fulfilled and revealed
through the apostles IS in fact "Spirit" (John 6:63). Jesus of
Nazareth would suffer all of the hate the clergy could invent and He
was there to take the brunt of their attack. However, when Christ
returns it will be HIS Words as SPIRIT which will inform and judge. If
you think that you are a co-revealer of the Word be informed that only
the Son revealse the Father and the Father HIDES Himself from the wise
or sophists: these are skilled speakers, singers and instrument
players. To present one's body and human talent as mediator is not to
be redeemed.
Then the word of the Lord
came unto me, saying, Jer 13:8
Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah,
and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jer 13:9
This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, Commands
which walk in the imagination of
their heart, Where God has been silent.
and walk after other gods, to serve them,
and to worship them, shall even be as this
girdle, which is good for nothing. Jer 13:10
For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to
cleave unto me
the whole house of Israel and
the whole house of Judah, saith the Lord;
that they might be unto me for a people,
and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory:
but they would not hear. Jer 13:11 Hear from what? from silence?
Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this
word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
Every bottle shall be
filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee,
Do
we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Jer 13:12
Jer 23:9 Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets;
all my bones shake: I am like a
drunken man,
and
like a man whom wine hath overcome,
because of the Lord, and because
of the words of his holiness.
Jer 23:10 For the land is full of adulterers; for
because of
swearing the land mourneth;
the pleasant places of the
wilderness are
dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
Jer 23:11 For both prophet and priest are profane; yea,
in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
Jer 23:12 Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery
ways in the darkness:
they shall be driven on, and
fall therein:
for I will bring evil upon them,
even the year of their
visitation, saith the Lord.
Jer 23:13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of
Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel
to err.
Jer 23:14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem
an horrible thing:
they commit adultery, and walk
in
lies:
they strengthen also the hands of
evildoers, that none doth
return from his wickedness:
they are all of them unto me as Sodom,
and
the
inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and
the cities about them in like manner,
giving themselves over to
fornication, and going after strange flesh,
are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Ju.1:7
And their dead bodies shall lie in the
street of the great city,
which spiritually is called Sodom and
Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Re.11:8
Jer 23:15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the
prophets;
Behold, I will feed them with wormwood,
and make them drink the water
of gall:
for from the prophets of
Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land
Jer 23:16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts,
Hearken not unto the
words
of the prophets that prophesy unto you;
they make you vain:
they speak a vision of
their own heart,
and not out of the
mouth of
the Lord.
You are stuck: it comes out of the mouth of the Lord or it comes out of
YOUR OWN heart: that is vanity and blasphemy.

"In the environment
in which Christianity arose was surcharged with such phenomena (raving
prophecy). In the Greek
oracles messages were uttered by priests or priestesses in a state of ecstasy, consciousness being in abeyance, and
it was necessary to interpret them to the laity, as both Plutarch and
Heraclitus testify... In the orgies of the cult of Dionysus music, dancing,
drink, and other
means were employed to supereninduce
the ecstatic state, in
which the devotees ate raw flesh,
disported themselves with frenzied enthusiasm in the forests, and
indulged in wild phallic excesses.
The ecstatic person was 'in the
divinity' and out of
normal consciousness. Cicero makes prophecy
and madness
practically synonymous." (Clark, Elmer T., The Small Sects in America, p. 86, Abingdon)
"The religious ecstasy induced by
music expressed
itself either in an outburst of emotions, thus giving rise to
religious catharsis, or in a transfer to
the state of prophecy.
In this way music became an
important factor in divination. In the mysteries of the Magna Mater this relationship between music and
divination is
particularly clear.
Through the din of tambourines,
cymbals and flutes
the ecstatic worshiper of the goddess prophesied
the future to those present.

"From time immorial music
had been especially
valued in the service of prophecy. Pliny the Elder
gives us a report of the cult of Apis:
"In Egypt an ox is honored in place of
the god. He is called Apis
and he lives in
isolation. If he ever goes among the people he stalks along while the
lictors make way for him and throngs of boys accompany him, singing
songs in his honor. He appears to understand what is happening and
seems to wish to be adored. The throngs [of boys] sudddenly become
inspired and prophesy the future. (Pliny, Natural History) Consequently Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon)
was god of prophets and musicians and Pan was
god of medicine, music and divination.
"Here singing served as a means
of inducing
ecstatic
prophecy (speaking
in tongues). Thus the essential relationship
between music and
prophecy can be
clearly seen.
This relationship also
explains why the
expression for "making
music" and "prophesying" was often
identical in the ancient tongues. origen contra celsum 8.67.
The Hebrew word Naba signifies not only
"to prophesy" but also "to make
music." (Quasten, Johannes, Music and

The use of musical instruments in the modern Church is patterned after
the Jews during Hezekiah's plague stopping animal sacrifice. After the
animals had been offered for the king, nation, temple and priesthood
Hezekiah made the decision to burn the goats as a "unity" effort with
Israel which had turned totally to the worship of the starry host to
which God consigned them because of musical idolatry at Mount Sinai.
Amos and Isaiah connect their music in their temple as the cause of
their people hungering and thirsting and dying for lack of the Word of
God. The result is always being led into "Babylonian Captivit."

2. Christ in the Prophets said of the lying pen of the Scribes
(rhetoricians, singers, instrument players) Jesus called
hypocrites: Click for Jeremiah
7 and why Disciples never try to do a legalistic end run around the
Word of God.
Jeremiah 7:4 Trust
ye not in lying
words, saying,
The
temple of the Lord,
The
temple
of the
Lord,
The temple of the Lord, are
these.
Jeremiah 7:4 Trust
ye not in lying
words, saying,
The
temple of the Lord,
The
temple
of the
Lord,
The temple of the Lord, are
these.
Thus saith the Lord
of hosts,
the God of Israel;
Put
your burnt offerings unto
your
sacrifices,
and eat
flesh. Jeremiah
7:21
> For I spake NOT unto your
fathers, nor commanded them
in the day that I
brought them out of the land of Egypt,
concerning burnt
offerings or sacrifices: Jeremiah 7:22
> But this thing commanded I them, saying,
Obey my voice, and I will be
your God, and ye shall be my people: (CENI)
and walk ye in all the ways that
I
have
commanded
you, (CENI)
that it may be well unto you.
Jeremiah 7:23
Jer 23:17 They say still
unto them that despise me,

1. All of the Prophets
wrote to repudiate the PATTERNISTS who burned the GOATS for ISRAEL the
already-lost instrumental SECTARIANS. They also all repudiate the
instrument as saying to God "we WILL NOT teach your word in your way."
No changeling-hireling will read the prophets:
Christ spoke ONLY through the
Prophets and Apostles.
Christ has NOT given any rationale
for instruments in HIS Bible class
Jesus has cast out the musical
minstrels and "pipers" to the marketplace
Therefore, if YOU speak when He HAS
NOT you are a despiser and blasphemer.
2.
Christ said God DID NOT command it. So you say by defending the
deliberate sowers of discord that GOD SAID when God hath not
said. If
instruments don't damn you then sowing of discord is absolute: God
hates such people.
3. The Prophets spoke by the Spirit OF Christ (the only Spirit other
than evil spirits)
1Pet. 1:11 Searching what, or what manner
of time the Spirit of Christ
which was in them did signify, when
it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ,
and the glory that should follow.
Isaiah 50
warns against the musical SMITERS-PLUCKERS
Isaiah 55
commanded us NOT to pay for the free water of the Word.
Isaiah 58 commanded us
NOT to seek our own pleasure or speak OUR OWN WORDS.
Having
all of the Prophets speaking Christ's side HIDDEN from discording
clergy is a hair-raising spectacle. But God HIDES Himself, says
Jesus,
from the WISE or Sophists which defines rhetoricians, singers and
instrument players--especially for hire. Jesus mention that Christ
defined the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites by naming the same
rhetoricians, singers and instrument players.
Matt. 12:30 He that is not with me (CENI) is
against me;
and he that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad. (and BOASTS about it)
Matt. 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven
unto men:
but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall
not be forgiven unto men.
Matt. 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it
shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this
world, neither in the world to come.
- The Holy Spirit of Christ REPUDIATED the instrument in most if
not all of the prophets.
- The hireling-changelings say that the SPIRIT told them to
impose INSTRUMENTS
- Thereefore, the hireling-changelings are defined by the same
Spirit as blasphemers.
- There is no forgiveness for blasphemers now or never.
Jesus said MY WORDS are SPIRIT and LIFE: to speak against His WORDS is
to blaspheme the Spirit.
It is a terminal fork in the road.
In 1
Corintians 2 Paul proved that:
The Holy Spirit
Is to God
What our spirit
to us.
He then
defined the Holy Spirit as the Mind of Christ.
Jesus as the visible-audible body prepared for the Christ of God--the
Rock, the Arm of God, the Comforter, Intercessor--understood that there
was a difference between "the body of flesh" and the Spirit of God or
the Mind of God as the Word of God:
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the words that I speak
unto you,
they are spirit, and they
are life.
|
Question: If we are
saved and
have a relationship with God then we are
connected with God through His Spirit. Think, if you can blaspheme God
and Christ and be forgiven but you cannot blaspheme the Holy Spirit and
be forgiven, then the Spirit of God has to be a Person
That's not exactly what Jesus said.
Mark 3:22 And
the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said,
He hath Beelzebub, and
by
the
prince
of
the
devils
casteth
he
out
devils.
They
say that the spirit IN Jesus was the Devil.
Mark 3:28 Verily
I say unto you,
All
sins
shall
be
forgiven
unto
the
sons
of
men,
and
blasphemies
wherewith
soever
they
shall
blaspheme:
Mark 3:29 But he that
shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost
hath
never
forgiveness,
but
is
in
danger
of
eternal
damnation:
Now
look closely: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was saying that
the Spirit in Jesus was an UNCLEAN spirit.
Mark
3:30 Because they said, HE hath an UNclean spirit.
Instead,
the
Spirit
that
Jesus
had
was
A
HOLY
Spirit
perfectly
clean.
If you say that the Spirit OF Christ was
another "person" who now speaks to you then you are guilty of blasphemy.
Now, look at the supporting evidence
.
James 2:1 My
brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of glory, with respect
of
persons.
James 2:7 Do not they blaspheme
that worthy name by the which ye are called?
The
Spirit
OF
Christ
is
the
Advocate
or
Comforter.
1John 2:1 My little
children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not.
And
if
any
man
sin,
we
have
an
advocate
(Comforter)
with the Father,
Jesus
Christ
the
righteous:
So,
what about saying that THE Spirit which was IN Jesus
Christ as a clean or HOLY Spirit was NOT His at all? Can people believe
that the spirit that Jesus HATH was a HE and another person
standing outside of Jesus? That leaves Jesus without His own Spirit or
Mind as Paul draws the parallel in 1 Corinthians 2.
Jn 8:48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do
we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Jn 8:49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I
honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Jn 8:50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One
who seeks and judges.
Jn 8:51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall
never see death.”
So,
what about saying that THE Spirit which was IN Jesus
Christ as a clean or HOLY Spirit was NOT His at all? Can people believe
that the spirit that Jesus HATH was a HE and another person
standing outside of Jesus? That leaves Jesus without His own Spirit or
Mind as Paul draws the parallel in 1 Corinthians 2.

Therefore, to speak against the Son of Man might be forgiven, but, to
speak against the Spirit of God working through Him and against His
Word was not a forgiveable sin. In Matthew:
Matt. 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said,
This fellow doth not cast
out devils,
but by Beelzebub the prince of
the devils.
Matt. 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation;
and every city or house divided
against itself shall not stand:
Matt. 12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan,
he is divided against himself;
how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matt. 12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils,
by whom do your children
cast them out?
therefore they shall be your
judges.
Matt. 12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit OF
God,
then the kingdom of God
is come unto you.
Matt. 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house,
and spoil his goods, except he
first bind the strong man?
and then he will spoil his house.
Matt. 12:30 He that is not with me is against me;
and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth abroad.
Matt. 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you,
All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men:
but the blasphemy against the
Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Matt. 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man,
it shall be forgiven him:
but whosoever speaketh against
the Holy Ghost,
it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the
world to come.
Matt. 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good;
or else make the tree corrupt,
and his fruit corrupt: for the
tree is known by his fruit.
Matt. 12:34 O generation of vipers,
how can ye, being evil, speak
good things?
for out of the abundance of the
heart the mouth speaketh
Christ as Spirit in the prophets promised:
Isa 59:20
And the Redeemer
shall come to Zion,
and unto them that turn from
transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.
Is 59:21 As for
me, this
is my covenant with
them, saith the LORD;
My SPIRIT that is upon
thee , and
My WORDS
which I have put in
thy
mouth,
shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the
mouth of thy seed,
nor out of the mouth of thy seeds seed,
saith
the
Lord,
from
henceforth
and
for
ever.
This is a parallelism: both SPIRIT or WORDS are
in our MOUTH for ever. Isaiah does not have to say that the spirit
will never depart from us.
Whatever God delivers to mankind is a TEST
to weed out the false teachers or prophets?
To the law and to the
testimony:
if
they speak not according to this word,
it is because there
is no light in them. Isa 8:20
And they shall pass through it,
hardly bestead and hungry:
and it
shall come to pass,
that when they shall be hungry,
they shall fret
themselves,
and curse their king and their
God,
and
look upward. Isa 8:21
Matt. 26:61 And said, This fellow said,
I am able to destroy the temple
of God, and to build it in three days.
Matt. 26:62 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest
thou nothing?
what is it which these witness
against thee?
Matt. 26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and
said unto him,
I adjure thee by the living God,
that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Matt. 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said:
nevertheless I say unto you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power,
and coming in the clouds of
heaven.
Matt. 26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying,
He hath spoken blasphemy; what
further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his
blasphemy.
Matt. 26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of
death.
Mark 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mark 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all
condemned him to be guilty of death.
John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying,
For a good work we stone thee
not; but for blasphemy;
and because that thou, being a
man, makest thyself God.
Col. 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy communication out of your
mouth.
Rev. 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art
rich)
and I know the blasphemy of them
which say they are Jews,
and are not, but are the
synagogue of Satan.
Rev. 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of
the sea, having seven heads and ten horns,
and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Rev. 13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God,
to blaspheme his name,
and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Rev. 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness:
and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast,
full of names of blasphemy,
having seven heads and ten horns.
Catullus
- Then as the she-he sensed limbs were
void of manly strain
And sighted freshly shed a-ground spot of ensanguined stain,
Snatched she the timbrel's legier load with hands as snowdrops white,
Thy timbrel, Mother Cybele, the firstings of thy rite,
And as her tender finger-tips on bull-back hollow rang
She rose a-grieving and her song to listening comrades sang.
"Up Gallae, hie together, haste for Cybele's deep grove,
Hie to the Dindymnean dame, ye flocks that love to rove;
The which affecting stranger steads as bound in exile's brunt
My sect pursuing led by me have nerved you to confront
The raging surge of salty sea and ocean's tyrant hand
As your hate of Venus' hest your manly
forms unmann'd,
Gladden your souls, ye mistresses, with sense of error bann'd.
- Drive from your spirits
dull delay, together follow ye
- To hold of Phrygian
goddess, home of Phrygian Cybebe,
- Where loud the cymbal's voice resounds with timbrel-echoes blending,
- And where the Phrygian piper drones grave bass from reed a-bending,
-
- Where toss their
ivy-circled heads with might the Maenades
- Where ply mid shrilly lullilooes the holiest mysteries,
- Where to fly here and
there be wont the she-god's vaguing train,
- Thither behoves us lead
the dance in quick-step hasty strain."
-
- Soon as had Atys
(bastard-she) this lay to comrades sung
- The Chorus sudden lulliloos with quivering, quavering tongue,
- Again the nimble timbrel groans, the scooped-out cymbals clash,
- And up green Ida flits
the Choir, with footsteps hurrying rash
-
- Then Atys frantic,
panting, raves, a-wandering, lost, insane,
- And leads with timbrel hent and treads the shades where shadows rain,
- Like heifer spurning
load of yoke in yet unbroken pride;
- And the swift Gallae follow fain their first and fleet-foot
guide.
- But when the home of Cybele
they make with toil out-worn

21. Sorceries (farmakeiwn). Only here, ch. xviii. 23;
and Gal. v.
20, where farmakeia sorceries, A.V., witchcraft is enumerated among
the "works of the flesh." Used in the Septuagint of the Egyptian
sorceries (Exod. vii. 22. Of Babylon, Isa. xlvii. 9, 12). From
farmakon a drug, and thence a poison, an enchantment. Plato says:
"There are two kinds of poisons used among men which cannot clearly
be distinguished. There is one kind of poison which injures bodies by
the use of other bodies according to a natural law...
but there is
another kind which injures by sorceries and incantations and magic
bonds, as they are termed, and induces one class of
men to injure
another as far as they can, and persuades others that they, above all
persons, are liable to be injured by the powers of the magicians.
