Review: Russ Adcox at Maury Hills Church in No Other Gospel defines another gospel as requiring obedience. This is the usual Faith Only dogma recently invented. It is particularly used to sow discord among churches of Christ which believe with all early church history that we are justified by faith but we are saved by the life, teachings and obeying the commands of Jesus Christ.
For follow up proof that the Bible and all historic scholars and founders of denominations always defended the Bible as the sole source for faith and practice. You are free to discuss it.
See some proofs on "the law of silence" that Christ was never so silent that He needed Self-Will
Purpose Driven Patternism
The purpose is to deny the Biblical and historical view that Jesus bestowed Grace to those of faith by teaching them to repent and be baptized. That is heaven's will for accepting believers into discipleship and not ceremonial paganism as a Makes Works Project.
The patternism for teaching people how to revolt against heaven is based on ignorance of the Word.
Part Two Read Todd Loyd define away any OBEDIENCE required for salvation. Galatians 1:11-24
- First, the object is to prove that Paul got his gospel directly from God.
- He refused to learn from the original Apostles because they "didn't get it."
- They assume by proof texting that Paul taught SALVATION by faith only.
- That abrogates what Jesus commanded and the older apostles taught about baptism..
- That is the old "two gospels" pattern of "believer's baptism" where you are "washed" because you are already clean.
- That is because they never learned to distinguish between righteousness and salvation.
All such dogma is confusing Paul's denial of THE LAW OF MOSES as having any justifying power with obeying the laws of Christ. However, it is from within the curse of the Monarchy where the authority for music is gleaned from the Levites. They were an old cult in Egypt and when Israel fell beyond redemption because of musical idolatry, the tribe of Levi carried on the NATIONAL sacrificial system. This was quite identical to that of Babylon.
It is clear that Russ Adcox nor his mentors know the difference between justification and salvation. Because Abraham was JUSTIFIED by faith they conclude "justified by faith only." Then they replace the word justified with "saved" to say that Abraham was SAVED BY FAITH ONLY. However, THE FAITH is in contrast to THE LAW added because of musical idolatry.
To refute the Judaizers:
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,Cornelius was justified by faith, but to be saved, Paul commanded him to be baptized. THE VERSE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO PUT A CURSE ON THOSE DEMANDING OBEDIENCE.
Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Accursed is "Anathema excommunicated without redemption." That is why you can use foul means to try to destroy those who understood the Bible prior to the postmodern joke on all theologians.
"Any object so sacrificed or devoted to the Lord could not be redeemed (Num. 18:14; Lev. 27:28, 29); and hence the idea of exterminating was connected with the word. The Hebrew verb (haram) is frequently used of the extermination of idolatrous nations. It had a wide range of application. The anathema or herem was a person or thing irrevocably devoted to God (Lev. 27:21, 28); and "none devoted shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death" (27:29). The Hebrew word therefore carried the idea of devoted to destruction (Num. 21:2, 3; Josh. 6:17); and hence a majority of scholars have treated the word anathema similarly, generally as meaning a thing accursed. For example, in Deut. 7:26 an idol is called a herem = anathema, understood to mean a thing accursedTHE ANOTHER GOSPEL IS DENYING CHRIST THE RIGHT TO COMMAND OBEDIENCE
- Russ Adcox would define obeying the Words of Christ as Law based. This allows him to judge as acceptable all of those who have FAITH.
- That is contrary to what the Gospel of THE KINGDOM which gives us REST from self-speaking, burden singing and being taxed to hear fale teaching.
- The MARK of preaching another GOSPEL is the word ANATHEMA which is identified by the SIGHT and SOUNDS of music. Isaiah 30 shows that Hell was prepared for them and the SOUNDS of them being driven into ANATHEMA to be burned is the same wind, string and percussion instruments Lucifer brought into the Garden of Eden.
- The Bible and many extra Biblical writings such as The Book of Enoch proves that once you have made the connection between musical or rhetorical arousal you have fallen and cannot be redeemed.
Russ had planned to SKIP the heavy Abraham material on obedience but was convinced otherwise. For now, let us say that Abraham being justified by faith is directly related to obedience of faith. However, there never was more than ONE Spiritual covenant made with Abraham because of his faithful obedience and restored with Power by Jesus Christ.
Gen. 26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:THE FALSE ANOTHER GOSPEL STILL COVERS ONLY GAL 3:19-25 BY RUSS
Gen. 26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
Gen. 26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Gen. 26:5 Because that Abraham
obeyed my voice,
and kept my charge,
my commandments,
my statutes
and my laws.
Gen. 26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar: [He obeyed God's conditional promise]
- God restated The Book of The Covenant of Grace as the Abrahamic Covenant at Mount Sinai.
- The people rose up in musical idolatry of their old Egyptian trinity.
- God turned them over to worship the starry host BUT ordained the Synagogue or church in the wilderness as an ACADEMIA or school of the Bible. That outlawed vocal or instrumental rejoicing and high sounding speakers.
- The spiritual people always attended Synagogue and were quarantined from the curse of the sacrificial system.
- All of the prophets speaking by the spirit of Christ called them robbers and parasites and blames the "music" for their fall. Ezekiel and Josephus agree.
- The New Covenant is the Abrahamic Covenant (Galatians 3) where we become the children of Abraham when we are saved BY FAITH when we are BAPTIZED INTO or clothed with Christ.
- That is Christ's way to WEED out the "believeth nots" which means WILL NOT COMPLY because are in revolt or treacherous.
- Therefore, Paul never rejects obedience as absolutely required before or sins are removed.
However, the WAY to be Saved after being Justified is to obey and be baptized.
Gal. 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,You cannot have your sins remitted by faith only and therefore you cannot hav A holy spirit or A good conscience into which Christ will let His BLACK words on BROWN paper reside.
that we might be justified by faith. [not saved]
Gal. 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Gal. 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith IN Christ Jesus.
Gal. 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized INTO Christ have put on Christ.
Gal. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal. 3:29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
THEREFORE RUSS ADCOX IS TEACHING ANOTHER GOSPEL
The MARKS of teaching another gospel and being consigned to the lake of fire is ANATHEMA which points directly to the ritualistic religionism using sophists, singers and instrument players as sorcerers.
The law could not bring righteous as the Jews believed. However, all people who were made righteous by faith OBEYED whatever it was they trusted.
Paul never connects OBEDIENCE to the Will of Christ with being LEGALISTIC. In fact, the only definition of legalism in the Greek world meant to SING the laws of Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) by the muses or musicians in Revelation 18 John calls sorcerers fit only for burning.
Russ Adcox: No Other Gospel (Gal. 1:1-10)
Gal. 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man,
but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Gal. 1:2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Therefore, they were The Church of Christ: Russ has removed that vital public confession.
Gal. 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Grace means power: it never means unlimited forgiveness for unlimited sins.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,Gal. 1:4 Who gave himself for our sins,
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
that he might deliver us from this present evil world,
according to the will of God and our Father:
The WILL of Jesus Christ was the will of Father, Son and Spirit. If you deny the need for OBEDIENCE then you deny that God HAS a will. That allows only self-will
REMISSION OF SINS DELIVERS US FROM THIS EVIL WORLD.
No one's sins are remitted or washed away who has not OBEYED the direct command to be baptized.
Salvation by Grace (which teaches) through faith is to deliver us from THIS EVIL WORLD and not to drive people into UNITING with evil. Secondly, we are delivered by the WILL of Jesus Christ who is our God and Father.
This is the LADED BURDEN Jesus died to remove: a burden is a repeating type song as "sorcery." it is the creation of spiritual anxiety through religious rituals which makes you ignorant of the word and pan an EXTRA TAX not in warfare or food for your children. The burden is Phortion. from Phortos vulgar, rubbish, balderdash, mass of detail: and poetry: manufacturing songs and sermons which produce an erotic influence, singing, playing instruments. Peter called it corrupting the word: selling knowledge at retail.

See also 4191.The Graces were three browned-eyed Greek prostitutes. The Grace of God [as WORD] HATH APPEARED teaching us to DENY the present evil world. Paul spoke on two levels which people deny:
Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,Peter would be ANTI-Christ if he repudiated obedience to the command He received from Jesus Christ:
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them,SECONDLY salvation was to save ourselves from those of restored ceremonial legalism.
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

(ll. 11-24) So, after all, there was not one kind of Strife alone, but all over the earth there are two. As for the one, a man would praise her when he came to understand her; but the other is blameworthy: and they are wholly different in nature.
For one fosters evil war and battle, being cruel: her no man loves; but perforce, through the will of the deathless gods, men pay harsh Strife her honour due. But the other is the elder daughter of dark Night, and the son of Cronos who sits above and dwells in the aether, set her in the roots of the earth: and she is far kinder to men. She stirs up even the shiftless to toil; for a man grows eager to work when he considers his neighbour, a rich man who hastens to plough and plant and put his house in good order; and neighbour vies with is neighbour as he hurries after wealth.
This Strife is wholesome for men. And potter is angry with potter, and craftsman with craftsman, and beggar is jealous of beggar, and minstrel of minstrel.
Transmission of Archaic Greek Sympotic Songs: from Lesbos to Alexandria by Gregory Nagy
A striking example is the reference in Aristophanes F 235 Kassel/Austin to the singing of a sympotic song of Alcaeus, called a skolion : 'sing me some skolion, taking it from Alcaeus or Anacreon'. 48 This correlation of Alcaeus with Anacreon as masters of sympotic songmaking is particularly valuable in light of the explicit identification of Anacreon with the institution of the symposium: in Herodotus 3.121, this poet is pictured as actually participating in a symposium attended by his patron, the tyrant Polycrates, at Samos ("and he found Polycrates reclining in the men's quarters, in the company of Anacreon of Teos"). 49
48. The word skolion , as used in the time of Aristophanes, is a distinctly sympotic term. It was an appropriate general designation for the performance, self-accompanied on the lyre, of compositions by the great lyric masters; see A. E. Harvey, 1955. "The Classification of Greek Lyric Poetry," Classical Quarterly 5 (1955): 162-63, following R. Reitzenstein, Epigramm und Skolion: Ein Beitrag zur Geschichte der alexandrinischen Dichtung (Giessen, 1893); see also Nagy, Pindar's Homer, pp. 106-7. To engage in these performances was an old-fashioned convention at symposia, as we can see from such references as Aristophanes Clouds 1355-1356, the scholia to Aristophanes Wasps 1222, and Eupolis F 139 Kock (by way of Athenaeus 638e). According to "Plutarch" On Music 1140f, Pindar attributed the "invention" of the skolion to Terpander, who is also the traditional "inventor" of the system of melodies used in kitharôidia ( On Music 1132d). I should add that Aristotle refers to Alcaeus F 348, which he also cites, as a skolion ; see Aristotle, Politics 1285a35 and following).49. See commentary by E. Urios-Aparisi, "Anacreon: Love and Poetry (on 358 PMG, 13 Gentili)," Quaderni Urbinati di Cultura Classica 44 (1993): 54 on the explicitly sympotic features of the description given by Herodotus.REMISSION OF SINS AT BAPTISM DELIVERS US FROM THE SOPHISTS / MUSICIANS

UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE MEANING OF IS IS
The Galatians would be like those sowing discord by imposing musical worship. By using Hezekiah's plague stopping ritual they say that even the curse of the law is OUR COMMAND to "use instrumental praise."
Most false teaching about faith as a "one step plan of salvation" does not know the SUBJECT under discussion. The Jews believed that one was justified or made ceremonially pure based on circumcision and obeying the law.
That was what made them hinder the Gentiles from OBEYING Jesus Christ and being baptized.
All people and even pigs are no longer UNCLEAN based on THE FAITH of Jesus Christ: their personal faith is NOT THAT POWERFUL.
Being Justified does no mean that one is saved: justification by faith gives one the RIGHT to be baptized for the remission of sins.
Gal. 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified byThe only spiritual covenant was made with Christ to Abraham: Abraham was justified (not saved) because :
THE works of THE law,
but by THE FAITH of Jesus Christ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ,
that we might be justified by THE FAITH of Christ,
and not by the works of THE LAW :
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Gen. 26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.Justified does not mean saved, remission of sins or added to the Church by Christ.
Bible 101a: obeing THE FAITH of Jesus Christ is not obeying THE LAW OF MOSES.
Baptism was a promise in Isaiah and Malachi by the Spirit of Christ. Receive a promise is not works of any kind. However, refusing to obey the conditions of that free gift is FATAL ingratitude.
Gal. 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God:The way to OBEY the Death, Burial and Resurection of Christ is to obey that FORM of doctrine and only after you have OBEYED in baptism are you then free from sin.
for if righteousness come by THE LAW, then Christ is dead in vain.
Gal. 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you,
that ye should not obey THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ
hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Jesus didn't die just so others can refuse to obey His New Covenant. Jesus died to put down the sacrificial system which in may ways is imposed in modern isntitutes.
THIS IS NOT REMOTELY CONNECTED TO THE LAW OF MOSES
Careless students deny that we should obey the truth because THAT would be keeping THE LAW and that would be another gospel.That FORM of doctrine is the work which Jesus Christ accomplished for us. A form is "a pattern capable of being imitated" or "instead of." We are baptized INSTEAD of dying on the cross. Without this OBEDIENCE people are still the servants of Satan.
Rom. 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin,
but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Rom. 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Gal. 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you,
and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
THE GOSPEL IS THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM
The Gospel of Jesus Christ demanded that disciples be made by BAPTIZING and teaching WHAT JESUS commanded to be taught. The Gospel of the Kingdom defines TERMS OF INTRANCE into the kingdom. That was and is

John calls the sophists, singers and instrument players SORCERERS who had deceived the whole world. The LAW WAS ADDED by these false teachers.
No one in recorded history DID NOT know that music manipulates the mind and is therfore always defined as sorcery and something only the lower classes could tolerate.
Plato In Timaeus "The phenomena of medical and of the swallowing of drink and of the projection of bodies, whether discharged in the air or bowled along the ground, are to be investigated on a similar principle;
For when the motions of the antecedent swifter sounds begin to pause and the two are equalised,
- and swift and slow sounds, which appear to be high and low,
- and are sometimes discordant on account of their inequality,
- and then again harmonical
- on account of the equality of
- the motion which they excite in us.
the slower sounds overtake the swifter and then propel them.
When they overtake them they do not intrude a new and discordant motion,
but introduce the beginnings of a slower, which answers to the swifter as it dies away,
thus producing a single mixed expression out of high and low,
whence arises a pleasure which even the unwise feel,
and which to the wise becomes a higher sort of delight,
being an imitation of divine harmony in mortal motions.
Plato, Protagoras.
[347c] But if he does not mind, let us talk no more of poems and verses, but consider the points on which I questioned you at first, Protagoras, and on which I should be glad to reach, with your help, a conclusion.
For it seems to me that arguing about poetry is comparable
to the wine-parties [sumposiois] of common market-folk [Agoraion].
These people, owing to their inability to carry on a familiar conversation over their wine
by means of their own voices and discussions--
Commentary on the Sumposiois (getting drunk on wine) and the Agoraion where Jesus consigned the pipers, singers and dancers.
[347d] such is their lack of education--put a premium on flute-girls by hiring the extraneous voice of the flute at a high price, and carry on their intercourse by means of its utterance.
[347e] even though they may drink a great deal of wine. And so a gathering like this of ours, when it includes such men as most of us claim to be, requires no extraneous voices, not even of the poets, whom one cannot question on the sense of what they say;
But where the party consists of thorough gentlemen who have had a proper education, you will see neither flute-girls nor dancing-girls nor harp-girls, but only the company contenting themselves with their own conversation, and none of these fooleries and frolics--each speaking and listening decently in his turn,
when they are adduced in discussion we are generally told by some that the poet
thought so and so, and by others, something different,
and they go on arguing about a matter which they are powerless to determine.
No, this sort of meeting is avoided by men of culture,Suneimi: To be joined with, Intercourse is II. to have intercourse with a person, live with hêdonê, desires after pleasure, pleasant lusts, voluptuosus,In Romans 15 the Vulgate is much clearer about the SELF PLEASURE which is prostitution.
