Do
Elders Exercise Command Authority:
Authority of
Elders. Elders are beginning to insist that the congregation
must "obey" their command rulership "even if we teach false
doctrine." Their followers actually identify them as
"celestial beings" which must not be questioned. Elders rule
by teaching and disciples obey by conforming to the teaching
but only to the extent that the elders "teach that which has
been taught." Obedience is to the teaching and the "outcome
of the lives of the elders." Elders are not elected but
identified as those "already laboring to the point of
exhaustion in teaching and preaching." Elders increasling
follow the Saddle Back or Purpose Driven Cult in levels of
membership and the signing of covenants.

I love rotten old,
syphilis infected, widow exploiting priest and humanist
scholar, Irascible Erasmus. He knew clergy scams because he
was one.
He makes fun of the
exploiting of the clergy, then and now. He is merciless on
the monks (preachers), clergy, princes and popes. He
"praises folly." He produced the first Greek New Testament
which became the Textus Receptus (received text) as the
basis for the KJV.
Exodus Pattern for Church Worship and Community Top
The
latest coming out of "christian" universities and the
pulpits more and more manned by philosophers, theatrical
experts and communications experts is that rather than the
musical idolatry at Mount Sinai which doomed Irael being an
utter defeat, it is actually re constructed by Rubel Shelly
and others as as
An approved Pattern for Christian Worship
and Community.
While God turned
Israel over to worship the starry host including the sun,
Rubel Shelly teaches that by reversing this pattern God
actually said that "we can worship the S.O.N. God as the
S.U.N. God.

The
"familiar spirit" of the witch of Endor is defined as an

as a bell or echo chamber to panic the enemy into cowardice.

Africa, Greece and Rome. Some were at time church servants
and they all leave a record of the trials and triumphs of
the church of Christ before it came under civl
control and afterward. We have especially selected those
documents which deal on baptism, the Godhead, worship and
the nature of the Godhead. None ever saw God as three
people.

Grace Centered Cult
Top
The
Grace Centered cult says clearly: "We know that we are
probably wrong but God's grace will save us. Therefore,
grace gives us liberty. Keeping Christ's commandments is
defined as anti-grace legalism because of the belief that
commands and examples of God are not authority for faith and
practice.
For instance, the
key creed of Grace Centered Magazine is that churches of
Christ are legalistic. The primary sin of Bible beleivers is
that they "sowed discord" by refusing to submit to the
forced introduction of musical instruments. As usual, the
apologetics in favor of instrumental music shows a total
lack of basic knowledge of the Bible, church history and the
continuing acknowledge that THERE IS NO MUSIC word used in
the entire Bible in connection with the worship of a Spirit
God.
The Grace-Centered
important supporter is Rubel Shelly.
The Grace-Centered
movement gives permission as a Post-Modern, Post-Biblica
movement to attack those who believe that "grace teaches"
and grace or charisma is the power God gives to live
according to His will.

Hands, Lifting "holy"
hands Top
No one
really "lead public prayers." Prayer is personal. Lifting
holy hands would be like one holding a book for reading:
palm up. There is no concept of "lifting holy arms" above
your head whereas this has always said more about one's
gender than they may want to say. To lift one's hands is to
turn the palms upward as did David in lifting up his hands
to God's commandments.

Holy Spirit Top
"Spirit" does not mean "person." And "Holy
Spirit" is not the name of a "member" of the god family.
Spirit in both Hebrew and Greek means the "mental
disposition" of a perso. God is The Spirit and because He is
not COMPOSED of anything not Spirit then He is Holy or Pure
Spirit. As God's Holy Spirit is to the Mind of Christ (1 Cor
2) my spirit is to my mind: mind and spirit are often
interchangeable.

Spirit or
Mental Disposition

There
is only ONE God. The 1940's view of God as a family, clan or
committee is a destructive heresy. The word "trinity" in the
historical views NEVER envisioned three, separated persons
of a God family. Neither is God a person: I am a person
(people) but I am not god; my dog has personality but he is
not God. The writers did not use the word person but
personae. That is, the ONE, undividedGod manifests
Himself in three images. At time, He is Arm, Door or Way but
these are personificatons. We will look at most of the major
historical writings about the Godhead but never find three
gods holding a planning conference.
Holy
Spirit, Word of Christ Connection

"Spirit" means mental disposition and Jesus
said "my Words are Spirit and Life" (John 6:63). Throughout
the NT an identity is drawn between the Spirit or Mind of
Christ and the Words of Christ.

Instrumental Music By Authors Top
Instrumental Music By
Authors Over
300 ancient and modern documents on music as worship. The
See a
great summary of why Presbyterians and others rejected music
as worship because music had never been used in
"worship."
"Music" is never
used in the Bible to describe spiritual worship to God.
Rather, the Greek Sumphonia speaks of true music which in
the classics is often defined as "singing and dancing."
Music defines the end-time Babylonian Harlot worship as it
defined the beginning Babylonian religion at the towers of
Babylon. Paul never commanded "singing" as we know it.
Rather, his often direct command is to "teach one another"
and the only resource available to us is "that which has
been written" (Rom 15), The Spirit (Eph 5) which Jesus said
is His Word (John 6:63) and "the word of Christ" (Col. 3).
Complex harmony (organum) accomplishes the same
mind-deluding goal as instrumental music. Both defeat the
purpose for which Paul used the word "singing" as the
internal result of outward speaking or teaching or
preaching.

May surprise you
but the serpent in the garden is clearly a Lucifer figure in
both a male and female role. In the female role she is
Sophia (serpent) and Zoe (beast). They force the junior
jehovah to form a musical worship team. Music can be evil
when it takes away the demand to teach the Word with the
singing and melody in th heart. This index is arranged by
major periods of ancient and modern history.

The Bible words in

Testament was new and the knowledge of Hebrew, Aramaic and
Koine Greek was fresh. Josephus speaks of the Antiquities of
the Jews including his own retelling of all of the Biblical
events.
Jubilee and the Y2K
expectations Top
Reviews of published documents on the
Jubilee and The New Wineskins Movement
In 1987 the Pope
called for Jubilee 2000 with intermediate Jubilees. Rubel
Shelly, Steve Flatt formed the Jubilee Corporation to
promote the urge for an ecumenical church which if not
organized with would recognize a one world religion. The
CORE gospel and the Post Modern, Post Biblical view made it
difficult to throw away old views and form a music to
restructure churches of Christ around a Gnostic structure.
To that end they organized huge gatherings to teach people
how to "raise holy hands, clap hands, lay on hands, sing and
play instruments around the Asherah poles" and a host of
efforts in an attempt to fracture the old churches of Christ
and give them a second incarnation as a neo-pagan system.
The Jubilee implies a need for an atonement which one
gained, like the Catholics, by attending the mass meetings
and denouncing the old churches. This Jubilee pattern
includes the idea of breaking up the ownership of individual
property and returning it to the "tribal groups."
Kabbalah: Law and
Temple as Judgment Top
While
Christians are tempted to skip the real story and see the
temple as God's ordained place and method of worship. the
Bible would say: nonsense. When Jerusalem fell for the last
time the Jewish scholars rejected their traditions and
returned to the Old Testament. They were quite astounded to
find that the Law had been added because of transgression
and the Temple was "like the nations" or a pagan temple
because that is what the Israelite demanded to go along with
their human king.

Lifting Hands as Ritual
Paul
always identifies prayer as "praying in the spirit." That
means praying in the homan mind or spirit even as Jesus
demanded that ALL worship be in the PLACE of the human mind
(nous) which is the holy place(naos) where God meets us. He
does not define a pecking order of leading prayer but the
spiritual qualifications for both male and female to
pray "in their
spirit."

Locke is largely responsible for the political and religious

Miracles Top
Seems
like all of life is a miracle. Certainly answered prayer is
supernatural. However, the term "answered prayer" and "a
miracle" have different meanings. In fact, Jesus got Himself
threatened with death to suggests that "miracles are rare."
A miracle is "God's design of certifying that this teacher
or leader has been commissioned by him." (Luke 4:27). Those
in the synagogue flew into an orge of wrath and tried to
throw Him off a high hill. So, if answered prayer is a
miracle Jesus said "there won't be many."
Miracles
Most urges for
modern miracles is to get a direct control of the "Spirit
Person" and get new revelaton. John Calvin addressed this false idea about
continuing revelation.
Narrative Theology Top
Most
preaching flows from Narrative Theology. This is the notion
that all of the Scriptures have been sifted to fit the
personal agenda of the Bible writers. Therefore, there is no
truth except as we can narrate it to become the Moses or
Jesus for our age.
Narrative Theology
affirms a given community's right to come up with its own
interpretation, or to "write" its own new biblical text.
And, what is the purpose of reading texts, for narrative
theologians? Why, of course, to affirm the self."
