Rev 7.12.09NEW 9.05.09 See the sad FALL FROM GRACE being PROMOTED before your listening ear.
| NEW POST 10.19.09 IF YOU LOVE THE WORD YOU WILL KNOW THE MEANING OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST. Satan speaks ot the musical imposers through the Scribes of the Monarchy's King: they are called the "lying pen of the Scribes" and Jesus called them hypocrites by naming speakers, singers and instrument players. Their AUDIENCE is collected ONLY to be fleeced and entertained. Christ speaks to the RIGHTEOUS thread through the Prophets and Apostles. The method is to hold ekklesia or synagogue and teach only that which has been taught. This is repeated over and over and it takes lots of training to MISS it. Else, we are dealing with the "fallen stars" as John called the speakers, singers and instrument players who HAD deceived the whold world. Peter MARKS as a false teacher likek the false prophets anyone who does not TEACH THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TAUGHT. INCLUSIVE AND IDENTICAL TO THE SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS 2 Peter 3:1 This is now, beloved, the second letter that I have written to you; and in both of them I stir up your sincere mind by reminding you; [2] that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and the commandments of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior: INCLUSIVE OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF CHRIST. 2Pet. 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, [the SOLE worship word] as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: EXCLUSIVE OF ASSUMED SILENCE OR "FURTHER EXPOUNDED." 2Pet. 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Further expounding means that NO ONE has any right to add to, subtract from or modify "that which is written." If you think silence is permissive for the assembly of Christ as a school of the word you are marked. WHY DOES CHRIST'S APOSTLE ISSUE THIS WARNING? EXCLUSIVE AND IDENTICAL TO THE SYNAGOGUE OR CHURCH OF CHRIST IN THE WILDERNESS [3] knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, [Magikos, magi] walking after THEIR OWN lusts, lust is the evil desire to DO something or longing (especially for what is forbidden) Lordy, they will lie, cheat and steal in order to give YOU the authority to violate the old "'traditionalists" or even the Word of God. It is at a pitch fever and they are already "consuming themselves with the breath (spirit) of their own lips." That INCLUDES the writings of the prophets and apostles. 2Pet. 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. [Spirit OF Christ] That EXCLUDES that which comes out of the human imagination which is only evil continually Isaiah 30 and Jude pointing us to The Book of Enoch which has no recorded exception to the central message. See Enoch http://www.piney.com/ApocEnoch1.html Jude 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration [lying wonders] because of advantage. Jude 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; Jude 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. Those FOR WHOM God comes in judgment is defined as Satan all all he/she/it can seduce into music in the face of Jesus Christ as an attempt to silence His Words. G1703 empaiktēs emp-aheek-tace' From G1702 ; a derider, that is, (by implication) a false teacher:—mocker, scoffer. Jude 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. THE MUSICAL GROUP FORM A SECTARIAN DIVISION. G592 apodiorizō ap-od-ee-or-id'-zo From G575 and a compound of G1223 and G3724 ; to disjoin (by a boundary, figuratively a party):—separate. This is the same mocking or PLAY which requested that God REMOVE His Grace and abandon them to worship the starry host: the HAVING FALLEN angels. The PLAY words identify the musical idolatry at Mount Sinai for which God removed GRACE and forced the father-cursed tribe of LEVI to bear the burden of this CURSE and ABANDONMENT.

Do you state it so, or how?[/color] All ceremonial legalism is an abortive attempt to SILENCE the gods and is always a mark of people who repudiate the Word as authoratative for our school (onl) of the Bible (only).

We are REDEEMED by the Cross which was to repudiate, silence and burn up the sacrificial system which in all nations was an attempt to SILENCE their god's and replace their own. Music derives from "mystery" which means "to silence the voice of the victim." In the case of Jesus it was to "make the Lamb dumb before the slaughter priest." In Greek systems the priest was the HERETIC which choose and lifted up the lamb to cut its throat. The musicians served the PRIESTS and not the gods by driving the animals into silent submission: they were called PARASITES. THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IS A SYNAGOGUE AND NOT A PAGAN WORSHIP CENTER. Why Church of Christ Clergy fall into fatal musical idolatry as at Mount Sinai. Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto usThe Church in the wilderness was: H6951 qâhâl kaw-hawl From H6950 ; assemblage (usually concretely):—assembly, company, congregation, multitude.Stephen used the word: G1577 ekklēsia ek-klay-see'-ah From a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564 ; a calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both):—assembly, church.Therefore, the Qahal or synagogue has the same religious meaning as ekklesia (a civic meeting) or Church. The Holy Convocation was inclusive of Rest, Reading and Rehearsing the Word: what you do in a school of the Bible.  Num. 10:2 Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou
make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly
[h5712 Edah] , and for the journeying of the camps. [h4150 moed
congregation]Neh. 8:8 So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. "Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. Acts 13:26 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him (Setting Him at Nought). Acts 13:27
This is still a popular name for synagogues. The ekklesia Stephen used in Acts 7 is equivalent to Qahal or synagogue. This is also why most people cannot find the synagogue before the Return. The Holy Convocation which came to be every rest day was to READ and REHEARSE the Word of God. That never changed and was exampled by Jesus and commanded by the ekklesia word. John 20:19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.Jesus showed up on the very next first day of the week to SYNAGOGUE. That might establish a pattern. Matt. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. Synagogue is a duplicated form:G4863 sunagō soon-ag'-o From G4862 and G71 ; to lead together, that is, collect or convene; specifically to entertain (hospitably):—+ accompany, assemble (selves, together), bestow, come together, gather (selves together, up, together), lead into, resort, take in. G4864 sunagogē soon-ag-o-gay' From (the reduplicated form of) G4863 ; an assemblage of persons; specifically a Jewish “synagogue” (the meeting or the place); by analogy a Christian church:—assembly, congregation, synagogue. 1Cor. 11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.Come Together: In the Church. The ekklesia was an assembly of mature citizens for DISCUSSION ONLY. The ekklesia is the name of the qualified group as well as the place as in Church house. The civil ekklesia met roughly weekly. It elected an elder as "contact man" for the year and paid some small fee in the Greek world. It had no function until the "next appointed hour." The contact elder in the church as ekklesia received mail, visitors and made sure that no need was not met.G4905 sunerchomai soon-er'-khom-ahee From G4862 and G2064 ; to convene, depart in company with, associate with, or (specifically) cohabit (conjugally):—accompany, assemble (with), come (together), come (company, go) with, resort G1577 ekklēsia ek-klay-see'-ah From a compound of G1537 and a derivative of G2564 ; a calling out, that is, (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both):—assembly, church. Heb. 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Ekklesia mistranslated as church was a civic body and we know what was inclusive and what was exclusive in great detailsG1997 episunagogē ep-ee-soon-ag-o-gay' From G1996 ; a complete collection; specifically a Christian meeting (for worship):—assembling (gathering) together James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.The synagogue was also a Greek Civic group used of the Hebrew assembly and we know absolutely what was inclusive and exclusive. None of these were worship assemblies but for the reading and discussion (even debate) of "that which is written" always by a higher authority. It's sole function is to make known the manifold wisdom of God where the Lord's Supper is an act of evangelism. That's why arguing the fine points of legalism proves that most of us missed the point and most have no intention of getting it. There was never a "praise service" in the ekklesia or synagogue of Christ by direct command and minimal reverence for the sole role of reading and learning the Word of God. END OF NEW POST |
2 Chronicles 29 is used by many who would love to add music and musicians to worship. However, under the guidance of the NACC Rick Atchley preached that God commanded instrumental praise and we should not disobey. Apparently he is so convinced that he thanks that God hating sowers of discord does not apply to him.
Most preachers miss the fact that the Bible is a history of the Hebrew people: it is not a hostory of the universe nor is it a legalistic patternism for Christian worship. As such it has the same TWO THREADS as any other national history--inspired or otherwise.Edward Fudge GracEmail: Death of a Distinctive? For about 150 years there is been a death wish on those who will not begin to add instruments when they have never used instruments for these 2,000 years. As far as I can detect it was the Disciples of Christ who uncovered the word PSALLO in 1878 as the first effort to AUTHORIZE that which everyone had rejected. This word too has the primary meaning of MAKING WAR and in a secondary sense shooting real arrows or shooting out love arrows. There is another word which would have to be used to indicate singing and playing a harp: the bible never uses one of those.
The Civil-Military-Priestly thread was assigned to the tribe of Levi. But, Jacob warned us not to attend the assemblies of Levi.
The Spiritual Thread was commanded as the Qahal, synagogue or Church in the wilderness: since it was ordained by Christ it was The Church of Christ.
This was INCLUSIVE of REST, reading and rehearsing the word: it was Bible class only.
This was EXCLUSIVE of vocal or instrumental Rejoicing. This outlawed vocal and instrumental rejoicing was performed by the Levites as an old pagan cult in Egypt. Jacob could have warned you about that.
See John Calvin's writings.
The Civil-Military-Priestly thread offered all of the sacrifices for Judah and the remaining godly tribe without any instrumental noise.
Because Israel had been lost and refused to participate they offered BURNT OFFERINGS: only during this burning time did the Priests blow trumpets and the Levites played the instruments "ordained by David."
However, the Spiritual thread under Christ through Jeremiah reminds us of the obvious that God DID NOT COMMAND burnt offerings or sacrifices when the people had been "baptized" and had the Spirit pillar guiding them on safe ground. It is scholarly opinion that the Civil-Military-Priestly thread added this to try to eleminate HUMAN BURNT OFFERINGS to Molech. This human burnt offerings began as soon as Manasseh took contro.
Therefore, the PROOF text Rick AtchleY has let loose on a few others is a VIRTUAL human sacrifice.
Edward Fudge: Death of a Distinctive. Edward Fudge looks forward to the death of what he falsely calls a cappella which is called "congregational singing." He assumes that "they" will probably leave a few ignorant of the Bible and the "unity" principle to just keep singing without instruments. I don't know how to say it other than to say that these people have no trouble just lifting raw assertions from their bonded buddies and subconsciously or unconsciously lie about all of the Bible.If you make a claim that is false intending to deliberately slander and hurt people that is called a lie: John lumps speakers, singers and instrument players as liars then heaped up with "dogs" and liars who will go into the lake of fire. I think I understand why such people deny what the Bible teaches about hell.
Jay Guin and friends Endorse Danny Corbitts false teaching about the Bible and History on instruments. I have decided to back up to the beginning to show that the INSTRUMENT was God's universal MARK of those who had Profaned His REST DAY and were therefore TURNED OVER TO WORSHIP THE STARRY HOST. If Jay Guin sees the WORSHIP of the starry host as a PATTERNISM for the ekklesia, synagogue or school of the Bible then we can understand why the appeal to the church fathers. However, he is absolutely wrong and has not read the Church fathers. I have posted most of the MUSIC writings where they DO condemn David's abandonment to STAR WORSHIP by pointing to the common knowledge of pagan worship where music was to subdue the mind or spirit by creating the "spiritual anxiety through religious rituals" which was the laded burden SILENCED by Jesus along with the burden laders where all musicians including the sacrificial exorcists were called PARASITES.
REVIEW PART TWO: See on the Synagogue which began as the Church of Christ in the wilderness.Missing More than Music
REVIEW NUMBER THREE: Danny Corbitt beats up on Dr. Everett Ferguson on Psalmus.I. As evil type the Jews engaged in musical idolatry at Mount Sinai
A. As a remedy the tribe of Levi whom Jacob had warned about were abandoned to worship the starry host.
B. Christ ordained the Qahal, ekklesia, synagogue or church in the wilderness.II. As evil anti-type the Jews would treat the Son of God in the same way: this is prophesied in great detail to prove that they would attack him in the style of the perverted musical mockers.
A. The Prophecy of the perverse, musical attack against the Son.
B. As a remedy Jesus promised to build HIS ekklesia or synagogue. That continues the Synagogue which never had a "praise service" but was devoted to the Word of God--only. It would be empowered by His Spirit in His Word. Jesus patterned, Paul taught and commanded and the historic church was faithful for almost 400 years when singing as an ACT was added.
The stumbling stone is that almost no one sees church as a school of the Bible but as a "worship service" which is patterned on the fatal pattern of the tribe of Levi. That is why lost souls lust to live under the Law.
You need two words to PLAY the HARP. If you sing TO a harp you need a compound word: PsalmOidiaREVIEW NUMBER FOUR: The word psallo in the Septuagint was translated only to SING. If the psallo word is used in connection with an instrument then the instrument is named. Corbitt and all of those promoting discord take a snippet out of context and read it while ignoring the semicolon. Thayer interprets its list of how psallo was used and defines it as singing in the church just as it is usually translated in the Greek Old Testament if there is no instrument in the context.
Is. 23:15 And it shall come to pass in that day, that TyreYou need a COMPOUND word to sing and play an instrument. The Greek has and the spirit knew a separate compound word for each instrument. NONE OF THESE ARE USED IN THE BIBLE.
[the singing and playing prostitute in the garden of Eden]
shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king:
after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
What is the song of the prostitute?
Is. 23:16 Take an [1] harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten;
make sweet [2] melody, [3] sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Is. 23:17 And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Amos 5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy [1] songs; for I will not hear the [2] melody of thy [3] viols.

5.14.09 Whatever method you emply to reach an unbiblical conclusion is faulty. The problem as I see it is more centered on the flawed men rather than a bad method. If every coC preacher/elder really believed that becoming a child of God or staying in that relationship does not depend on good works“do” as Christians. We can never forget that many of these incorrect conclusions that have been reached over the years are “salvation issues” to many. there would not be such a focus on what we Royce is well-travelled to be able to judge all of the preachers and elders in perhaps 18000 congregations. To anyone who honors Christ in Spirit who prophesied Baptism as God's way to CLEANSE us in Isaiah and Malachi; and who believes in the direct association Jesus etal made between baptism and the REMISSION OF SINS; and can find no historic exception, one MIGHT concluded that baptism FOR or in order to the remission sins means what the text says? No reader of the Bible can fail to see that MUSIC is always Satan's way to prevent people from honoring the Words of God from Genesis to Revelation and including ALL of the historic scholars and founders of denominations could even HALLUCINATE that NOT beginning to use machines to do WORSHIP was not added by false conclusions. Honoring Christ by wearing His name has the Bible and ALL historic scholarship to back it. VOCAL OR INSTRUMENTAL REJOICING REPUDIATED BY THE BIBLE AND ALL LITERATE HISTORIC SCHOLARS. True: but, a disciple of Christ who is a STUDENT of Christ through the Bible is not bound to REACH conclusions "beyond the sacred page." The direct command was to REST, Read the Word and Rehearse or discuss it in the Church in the wilderness. Nehemiah 8 describes exactly what is and what is NOT allowed for the synagogue or Church of Christ in the wilderness. h4744.Miqra
This
is the same Qahal, synagogue or church in
the wilderness: the Holy Convocation
included Rest, Reading and
meditating on the Word. It EXCLUDED both
vocal and
instrumental rejoicing. This was the Law of Moses ANTITITHICAL to the
Sacrificial system: God never changed that.
6951. Qahal kaw-hawl´; from 6950; assemblage (usually concretely):—assembly, company, congregation, multitude. This was the national assembly for everyone: people always assembled in their local synagogues where. Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day Noticed that
the SOLEMN ASSEMBLIES or HOLY CONVOCATIONS were held on the FIRST
and EIGHT days.
Neh. 8:18 Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God.
ON THE OTHER HAND THE CIVIL-MILITARY-PRIESTLY COMPLEX WAS NOT WHERE PEOPLE WORSHIPPED NEHEMIAH
DEFINED THE CURSE OF THE LAW SO THAT ALL OF THOSE NOT DOING SYNAGOGUE
WERE PARASITES. YOU WOULD NEED A DIRECT COMMAND, EXAMPLE OR INFERENCE TO BEGIN USING "MACHINES FOR DOING HARD WORK" AND THERE IS NO SUCH LAW. FURTHERMORE, TO ANY READER OF THE BIBLE GOD AND ALL OF THE HISTORIC SCHOLARSHIP HAS NOT BEEN SILENT. Royce Ogle applauds Jay Guin who applauds Edward Fudge for setting the Church of Christ straight on FELLOWSHIP and instrumental music by appealing to Carl Ketcherside. However, they misrepresent a dead man. Carl made it perfectly clear that it was the instrumentalists who deliberately sowed discord. While Carl would not pass judgment on them he would NOT join one of their churches and fellowship instrumental music. While Carl seems even kinder than Jesus or Paul his description of what the instrumentalists have done and TRIED to force everyone to do would seem to be without redemption:
Paul in Colossians 2 would make that a sin without redemption.
Paul is specificially pointing to those who would use DAVID as their authority for music:
Royce Ogle Romans 4 and many, many other passages stand in stark condridiction to what most coC folks teach. Because the Baptist
Calvinists are identified as a "distinctly American
Gnostic religion with no connection to the historic church" Harold
Bloom, we know that BELIEVER'S BAPTISM is because your sins have
already been washed way. This is the ancient pagan view of
Apollo,
Abbadon or Apollyon who was the father of musical harmony, the subject
of many of the psallo or plucking passages, the father of homosexual
worship and of thieves and liars taught (as did Nimrod) that "morals
could be regenerated by external means." Therefore, the charismatic or
sexual arousal created by religious ritualism was the PROOF that people
had been WASHED and baptism was just to PROVE it. Click
for Pagan Believer's baptism.
Royce Ogle therefore reads BITS of Romans 4 but if he looked where Paul pointed he would see that God does not IMPUTE righteousness based on THE LAW OF MOSES but He DOES impute righteousness only to those who obey His commands and walk according to His laws. CLICK FOR ROMANS 4. and Paul pointing to the FALL FROM GRACE in chapter 1 at Mount Sinai BECAUSE of musical idolatry of the always-pagan trinity. |

Jay Guin: Lessons on Grace: Scruples, Romans 14
The use of Romans 14 speaking of the practices in the MARKETPLACE and limited ONLY to DIET and HOLIDAYS is used to DEFEND the use of Instrumental Music in the synagogue or church. He also defines the STRONG as those SECTS which have NOTHING of private opinion to TRUMP the Word of God. The WEAK are they whiners who PLEAD that the instrumentalists should give up INSTRUMENTS because the FAITHFUL are so miserably weak. Jay and others has INVERTED Romans 14-15 which OUTLAWED private opininions in the assembly and SPECIFICIALL outlaws all of the PERFORMING ARTS: not even simple Billy Bob needs a LAW to be quiet when Jesus comes to be out ONLY teacher through the word.
Jay Guin and the gang of about a dozen defends the use of instrumental music and defines The Church of Christ's practice for 2,000 years apparently worthy of--in the words of Dwayne E. Dunning SUBJECTS of "taking an axe to." Nothing could be more destructive and judmental than the use of the Greek word PSALLO to claim that God commands that we use instruments. Jay appeals to the simple Lexicon and his Phd friends to define Psalmos. I have collected most of the out of context passages here.
Lynn Anderson on the Word Psallo or Psalmos Number One.

Click for what I believe is the collected list (not in order) of those passages used by Lynn Anderson and family to fool the Oak Hills into adopting Max Lucado's IMAGE to remove Christ from their confession and ADD instrumental music so the female misleaders can perform.
This will be HOMEPAGE for some of the teachings I believe prove that Biblical Scholarship fits the patternism of Jesus who said that "doctors of the Law take away the key to knowledge." He marked the Scribes and Pharasees as hypocrites by pointing to Isaiah and Ezekiel who lists "slick speakers, singers and instrument players." All of the Greek culture identified the performing arts as that of the HYPOCRITES and John etal even called them sorcerers.
Scruples http://oneinjesus.info/2008/03/24/in-response-to-an-email-re-instrumental-music/
Tom Olbricht wrote an important book about the history of interpretation in the COC. He concluded that the COC gets its hermeneutic directly from Zwingli. Zwingli was good about binding the silence of Scripture, as well as drowning Anabaptists!
As a matter of factual fact (we must all tell the truth) the Disciples claim that they invented the LAW OF SILENCE. They had the authority to use their own opinion after which it became the will of God.
See H. Leo Boles, grandson of John Smith for proof.
The Bible and all historic Scholars were simply SPIRITUAL enough to honor the Word of God. Click to see how easy it is to lie when you don't consult the original text such as the Bible
Olbricht wrote a lot of things which were not based on the REAL people like Luther and Zwingli: I have reviewed his review of the Declaration and Address and where he rawly asserts something to make his point, but I have quoted the CONTEXT and linked to the real people.
You may click here to understand that because Jesus warned that "doctors of the Law take way the key to knowledge" you can READ and see that MARK to warn you NOT to be deluded. Not only do the MISuse the Bible and most of recorded history but actually INVERT them to fit a previous INVERTED set of RULES for the Bible but not for what they write.
You have to grasp that the historic group calling itself The Church of Christ including the Apostolic Constitutions knew of no MUSICAL authority (c. 205) nor did any historic church go so legalistic that they did not grasp that you need no legalism if you grasp point 101aaa: that the people assembled ONLY as a school of the Bible. The constitutions saw musicians as they were universally understood and they could NOT be part of the Church of Christ wiithout a lot of teaching and repenting.
The
Catholics did not do MUSIC but chanted or cantillated as did the
Jews and as Paul commanded using the word SPEAK. While a church council
OUTLAWED self composed songs which were for private use only, the new
Gregory chants were adopted from the Egyptians as the Israelites
brought the same practice out of Egypt. That “ran the gamut” which was
the worship of “Gamut.” 
Hislop notes that Now the name of Linus or Osiris, as the "husband of his mother," in Egypt, was Kamut (BUNSEN). When Gregory the Great introduced into the Church of Rome what are now called the Gregorian Chants,
he got them from the Chaldean mysteries, which had long been established in Rome;
for the Roman Catholic priest, Eustace, admits that these chants were largely composed of "Lydian and Phrygian tunes" (Classical Tour), Lydia and Phrygia being among the chief seats in later times of those mysteries, of which the Egyptian mysteries were only a branch. (i.e. Barbarians)
These tunes were sacred–the music of the great god, and in introducing them Gregory introduced the music of Kamut. And thus, to all appearance, has it come to pass, that the name of Osiris or Kamut, “the husband of the mother,”
is in every-day use among ourselves as the name of the musical scale; for what is the melody of Osiris, consisting of the “seven vowels” formed into a hymn, but–the Gamut?
This was the PLAY or MUSICAL IDOLATRY at Mount Sinai
This defines the Child in Assyria: it is important that the REASON Hell was created was for Lucifer or Satan and all SHE could seduce with wind, string and percussion instruments. In Isaiah 30 the MARKS of God driving His enemies into strong delusions with "lying wondlers" was all of the musical arts and crafts. Click for Isaiah 30 and the GOD of the musical deceivers.
While the diverted Reformation claims that they restored congregational singing they knew very well that no one had ever performed a WORSHIP RITUAL using congregational singing with the organ to accompany it: the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia still outlawed it.
The PEOPLE who had attended the Cathedrals for PERFORMANCES wanted the PSALMS-ONLY put to music. Men like Calvin slowly agreed but the PROOF which will stand up in the COURTS of heaven is that they understood the commands to “use that which is written” and “psalms, hymns and spiritual songs” were FORMS of the book of Psalms, to mean ONLY the Biblical text. The proof that no one practiced congregational singing of the authorized Biblical text lies in the fact that the SPIRITUAL WORD is without METER (as the word most often means). Therefore, the Psalms–only–had to be radically RECOMPOSED to make the ACT of singing remotely POSSIBLE. At that time no one thought of singing the prose which was always CANTILLATED which is NOT musical.
Alexander Campbell fell radically from the Presbyterians undoubtedly because he had a SONG BOOK to sell while he repudiated paying young men for writing and delivering sermons.
Therefore, Zwingli objected to the ritualistic ACT of singing because it had no Biblical authority, violated the purpose of teaching, and had no CASE LAW to authorize it. Therefore, Zwingli was faithful to the historic grasp of church being SCHOOL and it was a reluctant Calvin who bowed to the popular practices still disturbing the WORSHIP TIME in the cathedrals now OWNED by the State and used by everyone.
No discording “scholar” from the once-Christian colleges ever quotes from the SOURCES or “cherry picks” them: I doubt that you could get an advanced degree (about 212 F) without quoting the previous “scholarly” works.
Zwingl did not INTRODUCE any new “hermeneutic” (derived from Hermes who is the declared LOGOS of the changelings) but refused to CONFORM to the radical departures of the Restoration. However, NONE of them failed to grasp the mark of the INSTRUMENTS.
