Al Maxey Grace Centered Magazine The Spirit of sectarianism

All Maxey along with Robert Beasely address Sectarianism in the same issue of Grace Centered Magazine. Al Maxey is an elder and preacher at the Cuba Avenue Church of christ, Alamogordo, NM.

Al Maxey suggests that not fellowshiping other groups DEFILES the Temple of God and you will get hurt. However, all of Al's proof texts prove that it was perverted musicians who defiled everyone. Not in the vilest pagan temple could singers and instrument players enter into the holy places.

NEW: Al Maxey refutes John Mark Hicks on Acapella: Al Maxey reviews John Mark Hick's views on why the church does not use Instrumental music. Al is convinced that the sacrificial exorcist music of a nation abandoned to Sabazianism is authority for our use of instrumental music. I will only review parts of this long defense of instrumental music: this is part one. I have posted lots of evidence Al says does not exist.  Chiefly the testimony is that all of the performing ares are called HYPOCRITIC.  Jesus judged the Scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites by pointing to Isaiah 29 and Ezekiel 33 which OUTS "performance speakers, singers and instrument players."  The evidence proves that none of these performing roles contribute to humanity and are therefore identified as PARASITIC. Now, why would Al be so RACA-loaded against those who do not use either the hypocritic arts or parasites.

Al has launced another attack against the legalistic, sectarian patternists.  He believes that Miriam was the Musical Worship Minister after Israel escaped through the Red Sea.  First, the sistrum or tabret was NOT a musical instrument but a rattle to keep the women in step as they danced and "escaped" from Moses SPEAKING His song of Triumph.  This was a boast song to threaten the enemies in front of him what God had done to the Egyptians. We will read some of the REST OF THE STORY to prove that universally any knid of boasting music is a MARK of people who will sing God's praise but NOT obey His will.  Click for the latest Al thinks that the "harps" in Revelation is driving the legalistic sectarian NON-instrumentalists into terror.  Also Read David Faust who has solicited INSTRUMENTALISTS to come represent the NON-instrumental churches of Christ. This gives the impression that the dominos are falling.  This was an UNANSWERED list of false teachings at Freed Hardeman.

10.15.06 I have posted a rebuttal of Al Maxey's Shouting above the silence. He makes the strange assumption that the Old Testament does not command the Synagogue. Because Jesus READ the Bible in the synagogue Al thinks this refutes the "law of silence" and gives authority for adding instrumental music. He makes the same strage error or denying that one could eat bread during Passover. You KILL the Passover and EAT the passover and Al misses the WHOLE concept. Click for Al Shouting above Direct Commands to harshly pass judgment on his betters.

There is a small of christian church preachers who fulfill the most ancient story told in The book of Enoch, Jubilees, Adam and Eve and 3 dozen other accounts of a clear BIBLICAL statement that Jubal introduced music in order to control the minds of others to STEAL THEIR PROPERTY for HIS OWN USE. The Bible says that it was WITHOUT AUTHORITY. The words singing (which creates excitement), lifting up and heresy are intimately related in the Hebrew and Greek literature. Heresy is specificially connected to using music in order to USE people for the heretics own USES. It sure beats obeying Paul and working for a living.

There is no Biblical or historical exception to the rule that performance preaching or SINGING performance which replaces the SAY or SPEAK (as Paul commanded), it is a MARK of pagan homosexual urges. It, in turn, produces more homosexual impulses. "Worship" then with performance sermons and music becomes a "virtual" and too often literal homosexual, pagan religion. You may want to see some notes on the Christian church's birthing at Cane Ridge, Kentucky with more than a "touch of voodoo." This fulfills the Babylon harlot of the end-time prophecy in Revelation 18.

It comes as no surprise that the LADED BURDEN Jesus died to remove is just this molesting people's minds and bodies for personal use: the Lucifer Principle.

It also comes as no surprise that the REST Jesus died to give us specificially points to stopping the speakers, stopping the singing and stoppint the music.

To do otherwise is the definition of a SECTRIAN, A HERETIC AND A LEGALIST. Music as the fundamental stream of sectarianism and heresy is addressed in more detail here.

9/25/04 Charles Daily Northwest College of the Bible Part One ..... Part One A .....Part Two ..... THRESKIA or CHARISMATIC

The same AUTHORITY which authorized any form of music must reach back to the word PSALLO and shoot each other in the heart with whizzing arrow or as in the end-time Apollo (Abaddon or Apollyon) worship with LOVE ARROWS. See how psallo is NEVER a musical word except the noise involved with BATTLE or homosexual religion brom Tom Burgess. 100% of Tom's historical references associate PSALLO with homosexual worship. Psallo is NEVER used in the Bible or in the literature to mean SING and PLAY.

What is the Doctrine of Christ according to Christ?

Kenneth Sublett, Piney.com, Hohenwald, Tennessee
Revised 3/09/02...5/07/04...11/09/04 NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S FLUTES

Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, Daniel.3:4

That at what ever time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music, Ye must fall down and worship the Golden Image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up. Daniel. 3:5.

And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, shall in the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. Daniel.3: 6

It also comes as no surprise that these heretics have made a career out of trying to convince everyone that you have to be a CULT or INSANE to refuse to bow when they pipe the flute (meaning pollute or prostitute). Al Maxey whom Jesus loves this I know says that

If you have any standards about marriage and divorce respecting the right to a leadership role or if you concentrate on "music, holiday observances, women's roles, and the like, we are clearly dealing with an aberrant group of dysfunctional disciples. The eight general distinctives of such groups are:

I believe that the MUSICAL SECTARIANS are sowing serpent's teeth and it fits the pattern that anyone who will not be FORCED to agree MUST be insane:

Aberration \Ab`er*ra"tion\, n. [L. aberratio: cf. F. aberration. See {Aberrate}.] 1. The act of wandering; deviation, especially from truth or moral rectitude, from the natural state, or from a type. ``The aberration of youth.'' --Hall. ``Aberrations from theory.'' --Burke.

Aberration n 1: an aberrant state or condition [syn: {aberrance}, {aberrancy}, {deviance}] 2: a disorder in one's mental state

Syn: Insanity; lunacy; madness; derangement; alienation; mania; dementia; hallucination; illusion; delusion. See {Insanity}.

To the absolute, Bible 101aaa contrary, the WANDERING STARS are the DEVIANTS. Click to see the Jude versus Book of Enoch and other Biblical proof that MUSIC was introduced by Satan to cause the holy Sethites to WANDER both spiritually and sexually.

"BOW OR BURN"

"Nebuchadnezzar's Flutes are those "calls to worship" that are ever emanating from Apostate Christendom. EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THE MUSIC you must "sing along" or they warn you that you will end up in the fiery furnace of HELL. They say "Praise the Lord"; and all of us are expected to genuflect on cue, to THEIR "lord". If you refuse to fall down and worship when they are "singing their hymns", they accuse you of insulting God. If you don't want to embrace or shake hands, they accuse you of lack of love, or pride, or schism. If you are a True Believer; a BORN AGAIN Child of God; YOU KNOW there is SOMETHING WRONG with all these "calls to worship". That something is this: Their religion is the religion of Mystery Babylon, and their "lord" is the god of Babylon. Jesus wouldn't dance. I'm not going to dance. And YOU don't have to dance either."
But JESUS SAID,

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

And saying, We have piped unto you and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. Matt.11:16

The Jews anticipated that Messiah would be Dionysus as part of the sexual Abomination of Desolation in the Holy Places in the temple in Jerusalem. They hoped that John wore SOFT clothing of a catamite and that Jesus and everyone must BOW the Dionysus, homosexual dance and lamenting (from pain) in order to be INITIATED as the only Messiah they would accept. The "chorus leaders" were usually children because the musical "worship" leaders including priests in the 'threskia' form of worship USED sodomy to "bind the spirit and flesh together." The preferred form was pederasty.

Why would anyone promote forms of which which universally associated performance preaching and music with homosexuality in order to "know their gods personally?"

Background to the Purpose Driven Cultish Movement.

In order to bring in the "post Christendom Era" we have to destroy the old "rotten and decadent" and that includes praying for an early exit or early death of the old folk.

With a vendetta against "someone who did them wrong" many internet writers seemingly cannot speak of any religious evil in the universe without blaming it on the fact that churches of Christ don't play instruments in the face of a Spirit God. For instance, it isn't "churches of Christ" but the "non-instrumental churches of Christ."

Unfortunately, they have in their total ignorance of the Word, church history and the totality of paganism picked the one practice which has 100% of the evidence in its favor while "making music" was never used in the entirety of the Bible as a way to "worship a Spirit God."

On the contrary, instruments have been the "mark" throughout the Bible as defacto proof that "we will not listen to your Word." Classical writers and the church Fathers agree that this is the mark of a feminist or effeminate practice which was always held in utter contempt especially when free men fell into the practices reserved for prostitutes (male or female) and suitable only for the slave girls who would be abused at the religious festivals.

While people may have pure motives they cannot use impure means without having the paying "audience" LAUGHING AT THEM more than LAUGHING WITH THEM: that is the history and we should use care that we don't associate ourselves with them.

If they could somehow prove that not playing instruments makes one totally void of any redeeming value (and they say so) that would not get them any closer to justifying the use of musical instruments. Lucifer was a harp-playing prostitute in the garden of Eden and he/she is the end-time Babylon whore whose end Revelation 18 predicts. When they lie to you about the legalistic uniqueness of churches of Christ we recommend that you aim them (they won't be able to read it) at proof that the improvisers like David are the unique deviation from the Bible and all of church history--until they as post-moderns got their "assignment" as the present-tense Christ for your church:

The contrary history is rearing its ugly head in a very unique latter-day attack. Many brag "we have taken over the movie and music industry" and doubt it not that "WE" are trying to get all the men into the hand-clapping and girlish singing to MARK them as they tried to "pipe" and MARK Jesus and John. I have added a picture so you can recognize the kiss of death when they hug you.

As Lucifer the harp playing (bisexual) prostitute in the garden of Eden said in the beginning and says at the end: "Hast God really said?"

Here is the Emerging Church of Christ Fred Peatross honestly reveals for your consideration

Read Al Maxey claiming NO authority for the fast. Thus proving that IMPROVISING was not condemned. BUT God did condemn THEIR form of external fasts.

Read Al Maxey using the "unlawful synagogue" to disprove the Law of Silence.

Al Maxey and Instrumental Music neither commanded nor condemned.

Is Replacing The Word of Christ with "Music" an Unforgivable Sin? It is in the Oldest Traditions That Instruments Came From the Devil. You decide. We seem to find lots of Biblical support.

Ooops! This got indexed under Robert Beasley. Sorry about that. Here is Robert Beasley reviewed.

See some pagan background to musical worship.

And the Sexual - Voodoo roots to modern "churchy music."

Because Grace Centered Magazine seems to have the goal of denying grace to non-instrumental churches we assume that Al Maxey in The Spirit of Sectarianism has the same "audience" in mind. If not, the accusation of sectarianism is still focused almost exclusively on and against those who will not endorse "Team Worship" or instrumental music in violation of their Bible and history- informed belief. This belief has persisted for 2000 years and is not refuted by any truly Biblical or historical evidence. Therefore, while very reactionary churches can be blamed for many things and may not have a clue about why they don't use instruments this does not constitute a new "proof text" for Praise Teams singing erotic songs about themselves while swiping the logo of the Logos or "worshiping with the works of human hands." I cannot worship while you are speaking. Did you notice that Jesus felt the same way?

That is why Habbakuk warned against even David who tried to "awaken" his harp and lyre so that he could awaken the dawn:

Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it. Hab 2:19

But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. Hab 2:20

And, yes, all pagans believed that the "gods" or "demons" lived inside of musical instruments which were also idols. When you "smote" the strings, the gods cried out and delivered you a message which you could sell. Click for this page as a collection of evidence that instruments were idols and the homes of gods. The "instrument" of the witch of Endor as the familiar spirit was an old, dried wineskin which echoed her voice which she could sell. The same word is used to define the meaning of "nebel" or harp and the Greek, hi-tek version of the bronze vase condemned by Paul in 1 Cor 13.

Rubel Shelly: Today's Sermon Today 10/14/01 10/20/01: John used "Philosopher's Sifters" to explain Jesus? The Bible is a product of Narrative Theologians with their personal agendas?

Sermon Part Two: Jesus made, drank wine? This is the slander of the Jews "anxious" to mar the holy image of Lord Jesus Christ.

I love Al's spirit but "dialog" more than preaching is often the operative word for "church" and I therefore respectfully submit some comments from the cheap seats. Still not much proof-reading but then we don't do "beginnings, middles and endings."

If we have miss-attributed or misquoted please let us know. We respond to "please take if off" fairly well. We don't need to depend on mistakes to make our point. And you don't have to send a team of Psychiatrists:

Bible 101aaa will show that playing of instruments and shouting: "Making a joyful noise before the Lord" was a battle cry.

"with the aids of flying banners and the thrilling strains of instrumental music, if not too closely scanned, are well fitted 'plausibly to amuse' the worldy mind, to gratify the love for the picturesque,

and when the emotions thereby called forth are dignified with the names of piety and religion, to minister to the purposes of spiritual despotism. (Hislop, The Two Babylons, p. 174).

Grace Centered Magazine: July 2001 Al Maxey:

A sect is someone making a choice. And that is now considered evil even though God made choices.

My Webster reads of a Sect:

The belief HELD EN TOTO for 1850 years among protestants and even intellectually by Catholics was that Paul commanded that we teach one another with the Biblical material. History universally repudiated instruments as rank paganism and telling God as music told Him in the Old Testament: "We will not listen to your word.

> No one had accepted musical instruments, especially in the "official" worship of the Pope which was thought to be in the presence of Christ. There was nothing in Catholic worship for the people which was remotely like singing four part harmony with an orchestra or even a pipe organ in the background.

> Those not forced to conform had never accepted MACHINES in their worship. The Reformers who took over Catholic buildings removed the images of which the organ was, to Luther, a MARK or ensign of Baal.

> John Calvin called his movement a Restoration and went a long way toward restoring the church to the First Century model of Scripture.

> When the Restoration began neither Baptists, Methodists or Presbyterians believed that instrumental music as worship was lawful.

> The church of Christ (whatever its title) universally rejected instrumental music.

> Therefore, the ESTABLISHED GROUP did not use instrumental music.

> Primarily following the "awakenings" and the civil war, a form of revival music arose which WORKED because it had a VOODOO foundation.

> A MUSICAL SECTARIAN group forced instruments into the ESTABLISHED CHURCHES (the view held for over 1800 years).

> This invited and even forced the owners and the established view to depart.

> Therefore those who forced the intruments were the SECTARIANS because they BROKE AWAY and decided to take the property with them.

> > As terminal dishonesty, those who KILLED COCK ROBIN accused him of dripping blood on them.

Therefore, in Greek it means a new view opposed to the view held en toto or from the beginning of the organization. The musical worship sect broke away from the view held for 2,000 years against any Biblical evidence for "music" as a worship concept: God is not a sex object.

Notice that Haireô or heresy includes the word Anaireô which shows that the heretics may think that they have invented a NEW STYLE WORSHIP. Of their postmodernism it has been noted that when they lose connection with their "doctrine" and are no longer believers their new INVENTIONS revert to Satan and the cult of the dead. Singing and instruments were the WEAPONS OF CHOICE for inducing this lifted up or pleasuring which violates the practices of Jesus and the direct command of Paul in defining a SYNAGOGUE in Romans 15. The Greek word Psallo is a warfare and not worship word. Twanging bowstrings to send singing arrows into the enemy's heart was THE BASE meaning including to "grind the enemy into a fine powder." The two silver trumpets in the wilderness were to SING and make a LOUD NOISE to cause the enemy to panic. The Greek word Heresy from Liddell and Scott: Haireô means "to take with the hand, grasp, hair. To take by force, to take a city, Il., etc.; to overpower, kill, often of passions, to take, catch, as in hunting, hairein tina kleptonta to convict of theft. To take for oneself. Another form means: take with the hand, grasp, seize as in the Komo or naked dance. Having taken up [the song]. Anaireô, anêirêka (aneir-dub. in Com.Adesp.18.6D.): (v. haireô): --take up, anelontes apo chthonos having raised the victim from the ground, so as to cut its throat (cf. aueruô), take up and carry off, bear away, esp. prizes. of oracle's answer to inquiry   II. make away with, destroy, of men, kill, Hdt.4.66; pollous anairôn A.Ch.990 ; se men hêmetera psphos a. E.Andr.517; thanatois a. Pl.Lg. 870d ; ek politeias toiauta thêria a. Din.3.19 , etc.   The Thêria are are the beasts of the book of Revelation and is used with words related to ZOE or EVE or RHEA. thêrion, drakôn, ophis. This is related to daimôn or the genius or Genun as a composite of Jubal, Jabal, Tubal-Cain and Naamah. Jubal "handled" musical instruments meaning "without authority" and to commit HERESY which meant to use music to steal the houses of others. take up and carry off, snatch, take up money at interest, 4. take up bodies for burial. See Isaiah 8 below about chirping and muttering.   A word with similar definition of Anaireô connects RHETORIC and MUSIC. In pagan worship the rhetoricians, sOPHISts, singers and musicians performed the role of PARASITE which resulted when all of the animal sacrifice centers fell into disrepute.   Exairô -lift up, lift off the earth 2. raise in dignity, exalt, magnify, exaggerate it. Rhetoric, treat in elevated style, of music 3. arouse, stir up excites thy wish to die, pervert, make away with, get rid of, to be excited, agitated   Includes: Choreia [choreuô] a dance, esp. the choral or round dance with its music The word HAEIRO has the same meaning as aeiro. Heresy is invading and making war to LIFT YOU UP with musical excitement. The method is to lade the burden Jesus died to remove: "spiritual anxiety created by religious ritual." Aeirô [attic airô] to lift for the purpose of carrying, to bear away, to lift up for oneself, i. e. bear off, to raise or stir up, aeirasthai polemon to undertake a long war, to be lifted up, excite. achthos aeirein, of ships of burden, Od.; mê moi oinon aeire offer me not wine. PLUCK UP HERBS Jesus outlawed this using another word for the burden levied on people by religion: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mt.11:28 This burden is treating people like pack animals: Phortizo (g5412) for-tid'-zo; from 5414; to load up (prop. as a vessel or animal), i.e. (fig.) to overburden with ceremony (or spiritual anxiety): - lade, be heavy laden.   Phortos (g5412) for'-tos; from 5342; something carried, i.e. the cargo of a ship: - lading. The rest Jesus came to give us from charismatic music is: Anapauo (g373) an-up-ow'-o; from 303 and 3973; (reflex.) to repose (lit. or fig. [be exempt], remain); by impl. to refresh: - take ease, refresh, (give, take) rest.   Ana: each ad every one must STOP it all. Jesus invites us to come "learn of me." You simply cannot be a Christian or a baptized believer and engage in ritualistic worship in the presence of God in Christ. It is important that the rest has connections to STOPPING the arosal of anxiety through ANY ceremony which is peddled as having a spiritual effect over God or mankind! Aoid-ê ôidê ( [aeidô] ):--song, 1. art of song, autar aoidên thespesiên... spell, incantation  Aeidô, [Aeirô] all kinds of vocal sounds, crow as cocks, hoot as owls, croak as frogs, tettiges [locusts] chamothen aisontai The tettix are the "locusts" in the book of Revelation under the control of Apollo, Abaddon or Apollyon. They are the "muses" of Revelation 18:22. They were the Mousôn prophêtai or the "Lord, Lord sayers" Jesus repudiated. The live on a diet of air and dew. They are HOT AIR and SPRINGS WITHOUT WATER. They sing or chant The word REST which Jesus alone can give is the Greek PAUO. It is closely connected to "silencing the musicians" and "silencing the rhetorician" or preachers. Pauô, includes to: bring to an end, stop or silence by death, take one's rest, cease, have done, of one singing or speaking. Pauo means stop the polemos or battle, fight, war: stop levying war against another, anaireisthai or airô Pauo means: STOP the: melôid-ia , hê, singing, chanting Pauo means: Stop the pain of: aoidê [aeidô] Pauo means: Stop worshipping the MUSES The music of harpists and musicians, flute players and trumpeters, will never be heard in you again. No workman of any trade will ever be found in you again. The sound of a millstone will never be heard in you again. Re 18:22 And STOP everything not related to the ekklesia or synagogue or school of the Bible built by Jesus Christ.

The Orthodox View of Paganism which informed Paul:

"Women and girls from the different ranks of society were proud to enter the service of the gods as singers and musicians. The understanding of this service was universal: these singers constituted the 'harem of the gods'." (End of Quasten)

See also Nimrod's Musical Worship Team

The Christian Sect freed women from public performance to earn their bread by "leading men into the presence of the gods" with music.

The Orthodox Burden of Instrumental Music

Katauleô to play upon the flute, to resound with flute-playing, to overpower by flute-playing:--generally, to overpower, strike dumb [Don't get methuo with wine includes "don't get fluted down with wine.]

Katapsallô, play stringed instruments to, [sumposion] have music played to one, enjoy music, resound with music, The symposium was the musical festivalsof the PERVERTED. When they needed to discuss something they CAST OUT the flute girls and this automatically reduced the wine drinking.

Tumpanizo (g5178) toom-pan-id'-zo; from a der. of 5180 (mean, a drum, 'tympanum"); to stretch on an instrument of torture resembling a drum, and thus beat to death: - torture.

The instrument of torture defined in Hebrews 11:35

"Others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection" brings to mind yet another scene during the Maccabean Revolt. The word "tortured" is tumpanizo, from which we get the term tympani or a kettledrum with a tightly drawn skin covering it. The victim would be stretched on a rack or wheel until their skin was as tight as a drum, and then beaten until every bone was out of joint and he eventually died.

"Not accepting their release" refers to the countless brethren that refused to renounce the Christian faith, accepting the punishment handed them.

In Afghanistan and other Islamic countries, those arrested for being Christians are sometimes given three days to recant their faith and return to Islam. Afterward many of them are hanged or beheaded or left to rot in a prison because they did not accept release that required them to deny their Lord.

But the reality of resurrection keeps them pressing on by faith. One of the seven brothers told Antiochus Epiphanes,

"You accursed wretch, you dismiss us from this present life, but the King of the universe will raise us up to an everlasting renewal of life, because we have died for his laws" [Second Maccabees 7:9].

The Orthodox Burden of the clergy:

Massa (h4853) mas-saw'; from 5375; a burden; spec. tribute, or (abstr.) porterage; fig. an utterance, chiefly a doom, espec. singing; mental, desire: - burden, carry away, prophecy, they set, song, tribute.

The load Jesus died to relieve:

Phortizo (g5412) for-tid'-zo; from 5414; to load up (prop. as aa vessel or animal), i.e. (fig.) to overburden with ceremony (or spiritual anxiety): - lade, be heavy laden.

Music works because it creates spiritual anxiety.

The Orthodox View of Judasim was that rather than display their utter sinfulness and lostness, they came to view sacrifices with music as earning their own righthteousness.

The Christian Sect is freed from guilt by the one-time sacrifice of Christ. This sacrifice was also made by the Jews as they mocked Him with music.

Without animal sacrifices. the Christian Sect has no need for blowing 120 trumpets while the flesh of Jesus is burning.

The Orthodox View of women in Judaism was that they were property. Women could not be taught the Word of God nor could they teach.

The Christian Sect treated everyone alike. Women are free to be taught or to teach but the need then and now was to be taught and not to teach. Women were restricted for that 1 hour a week and seemed to be totally free to teach the other 177 hours.

The "authority" Paul outlawed was authentia which means sexual authority: both erotic and murderous. No stand up (non sedentary or silent) woman can serve without exercising sexual authority: that is why people say "we USE women in our services."

The Orthodox view of paganism was that women could be "used" as charismatic or even sexual agents of the priestly class to pretend to get a message from the gods.

The Christian sect outlawed USING non-sedentary, uncovered women who had been enslaved to the authority Paul outlawed: Authentia or sexual or erotic authority.

This was based on Paul's grasp of Genesis which shows that Eve was totally seduced. The NACHASH was never a snake but a Chaldean musical enchanter as agent of the fallen Lucifer who brought his heavenly gift of music to earth to grasp worship for himself.

The Orthodox View of the Jewish Monarchy Contrary to the Covenant:

David sinned so completely that he could never again return to Gibeon to enquire of God because he believed that it, like the Garden of Eden, was guarded by warrior angels. God permitted David and future kings to establish an alternative (sect) at the Jebusite high place for the new kingdom which God granted purely to protect the flesh of a remnant and as a "like the nation's" temple state.

The orthodox view of David was still that no instrumental noise accompanied the alternative animal sacrifices at Zion. This was prescribed by David (king) and the commanders of the army for the future temple as capital of the secular state permitted but not approved by God.

The Christian Sect was and is freedom from the Law from the beginning to the end.

This "sect" defines Noah. That defines Moses. That defines Elijah. That defines John the Baptist. That defines Jesus. That defines Paul. That defines Martin Luther. That defines John Locke who defined your political and religious freedom FROM established religion. That defines Thomas Campbell. That defines Alexander Campbell. That defines me.

Reversing the Order from Synagogue Back To Musical Sect.

The Christian View Held en toto about music in any form.

The orthodox doctrine about instrumental music, even among Catholics, held from the beginning was that God ordained teaching the Word in congregational "singing" to reject the loud instrumental "noise" which was legal only in connection with the Sacrificial System, in Jerusalem and only performed by hereditary, blood-filled members of the tribe of Levi. Instrumentalists did not go into the holy place (church) or into the Most Holy Place (individual spirits). To have tried it would have gotten the musicians (noise makers) killed. Apparently the Levites tried it and Ezekiel attributes Israel's lostness to them.

Consequently, in the 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia, instrumentalists were not permitted in the Sistine Chapel where the Pope had his throne. This gave rise to A Cappella, which does not mean "without the instrument," but "after the Sistine Chapel." This involved an emasculated choir to provide the Pope the legalistic effect of the "organ" without violating the clear New Testament principle.

The a cappella concept speaks of young boys serving the older priests as in all priesthoods.

The Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians, Puritans, Congregationalists and all of the protestant groups out of which the Restoration Movement "made the choice" to differ with were non-instrumental.

The universally held view en toto was that trying to worship a Spirit God with lifeless instruments (carnal weapons) was wrong because there simply was no more place for music in worship than there had been for sexual intercourse with temple prostitutes which went along with instrumental worship among the pagans and much of Jewish history.

Speaking (external) or preaching has always been the pattern with the singing and melody "in the heart and directed to God."

Sing praises to the LORD (singular), enthroned in Zion;
........... proclaim among the nations what he has done. Psalm 9:11

It comes as no surprise that those lusting for music are sitting around waiting for the Holy Spirit to guide us into a new "program" for 2002. David laid out the plan: sing praises to God by proclaiming to the nations. Don't you get it? No!

This is the "singing" pattern of Paul to the Romans, Ephesians and Colossians and in many other places where he does not use the word "sing."

The New Musical Sectarians Restored Body Worship

The word "music" is never an operative word in the spiritual worship of God in either the Old or New Testaments.

The Christian sectarians had to await men who needed "music" to swell the new buildings as late as AD 1878 to fly the flag that the Greek word "psallo" demanded that we use instruments. Yes, positively commands it. Because no credible scholarship would defend the new notion, psallo became the new mantra of the instrumental sect. Further study was precluded by defining anyone who objected to the new instrumental sect as themselves being sectarian. And, yes, legalistic for trying to defend the new "high church" change of direction by recourse to the Words of God. This is known from all eternity as The Guilt Clause.

I find that including a whole chapter is defined as "proof-texting." What they mean is that trying to define faith and practice from the Bible is no longer what "ou"r sects believe.

Sowing Discord Produces Two Different Religions and there can never be any "affirmation" of the error.

John Locke and others define as TWO SEPARATE RELIGIONS the 'high church' notion that we must reform the church by reforming the Bible, as opposed to those who still use the Bible as the Words of Christ.

Yet, the "high church" was the queen's choice in the Protestant world: it never had any Biblical or historical sanction.

Disciples such as Alfred T. DeGroot defines those who use the Bible as "sects" and those who use the "high church" or Catholic right to improvize or innovate as "churches."

However, Alexander Hislop notes that instrumental music not included in the church of England (English Catholic) through the use of the high church view. Rather, they tried to repudiate the old Catholic view:

"Now, in opposition to the divine enunciation in regard to "will-worship," the Church of England has admitted into its articles this principle,

that it belongs to "the Church," of her own authority, to "decree rites and ceremonies" (Article XX).

As a matter of historical fact, this principle was never agreed to by the Convocation that adopted the Thirty-nine Articles;

this sentence being found neither in the first-printed edition of the Articles, nor in the draft of them that passed the Convocation, and which is still in existence, with the autograph signatures of the members;

but is believed to have been surreptitiously inserted by the hand of Queen Elizabeth herself, who had much of the overbearing spirit of her father, Henry VIII., and who, as Head of the Church, which the English Constitution made her,

was determined to have a pompous worship in that church, under her ecclesiastical control.

Alfred T. DeGroote representing the ANTI movement declares that a group which IMPROVIZES with the times is a CHURCH while those who remain faithful to the Bible are a SECT.

"Thus there came to be, very early in the career of this movement, interest not only in

(1) Christian unity in a new freedom, but also (defined as 'church')
(2) a return to the doctrine, ordinances, and discipline of the New Testament church." (p. 153) (defined as 'sect')

The fact is that Al Maxey and the new ANTI-ISM have "wholly invented" the notion that ANY human has any right to tamper with the Word of God: to do so is ANTI-CHRISTIAN. They have no historical scholarship to give them the right to keep on sowing discord by accusing those who will not BOW to Baal while PRETENDING to bow to Christ of being ABERRANT or INSANE.

After the overflow of wealth and people as a "reward" for the civil war, big city churches competing for "attendance" decided to add instruments into non-instrumental churches clearly admitting that they had no Biblical authority and that they would sow discord and the sooner the sore heads left the better it would be for everyone.

The Disciples claimed in court, and probably under oath before a judge at Newbern, Tennessee that if "instrumental music was used AS worship then it would be sinful." But they, legalistically, claimed that it was only an AID. The Judge ridiculed the idea but had NO power to keep them from stealing the "church house of widows." Therefore, no one in history according to David Lipscomb and confirmed by our search ever tried to justify music by the Bible prior to 1878. The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia still confirmed that fact and urged the return to congregational singing.

Therefore, by every known definition of the Bible and dictionaries and scholarly commentary, the instrumentalists became the sectarians and therefore the heretics (not our words.)

Non-instrumental groups "did not make a choice" and therefore did not introduce a new practice which was against its historical beliefs and spirit of unity.

Therefore, the new anti-ism of blaming the victim they shot for spurting blood on their new choir "gown" does not rise to the level of minimal honesty.

Again: a heretic introduces some unscriptural practice which violates the beliefs of the group into which the heretic or sectarian is forcing his will. And, Vine, adds "for some vested interest."

There is every financial disadvantage IN not using the instruments of the stage to make worship "exciting."

There are powerful financial advantages to adding instruments and beautiful, talented "praise teams." This institutionalizes "the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the lust of the ears."

Therefore, Al Maxey defends the sectarians and remains on the payroll by turning black into white.

Lucifer was the harp-playing and piping prostitute in the garden of Eden: there is never any approved use of instrumental music to worship a Spirit God in the entire Bible:

"The instruments were used as worship to God and to give glory and elat to the earthly kingdom. They were tolerated by God as were many other things during this period, that he did not approve.

The establishment of the kingdom itself was an act of rebellion against God" (David Lipscomb, Queries and Answers, pp. 226, 227, and Gospel Advocate, 1899, pp. 376, 377).

Of course, God tolerated instrumental music in the sense that He did not strike dead the prostitutes and sodomites who prowled around the Temple as the "state capital" and the king's shrine. But, He sentenced them to captivity and death by NOT protecting them and allowing them to COLLECT the penalty for which their CHANGED WORSHIP earned them--the old fashioned way.

As a result of this act of rebellion, in Ecclesiasticus 47 David "made melody" with the voice and heart. However, of his kingship:

6. who brought kings down to destruction, and famous men from their beds;
7. who heard rebuke at Sinai and judgments of vengeance at Horeb;
8. who anointed kings to inflict retribution,

and prophets to succeed you.

O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help. Hosea 13:9

I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes? Hosea 13:10

I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. Hosea 13:11

So, again, the meaning of "sectarian" accrues to the addition of anything which gives glory to the spectacle.

See Ecclesiasticus 47 annotated to show how MUSIC was involved with cleansing the temple and never congregational worship.

The "fracture" occurs the moment something offensive is added to make a new sectarian group.

Those who leave cannot fracture that which has been fractured. By analogy, if adultery breaks wedlock, then getting a certificate from the state does not sow discord and break the marriage.

It would appear that those who added the "musical concept" even in singing idle, secular or sentimental poetry thought that they were infinitely superior to the Word of Christ or Spirit which Paul insisted be the 'resource' for teaching or preaching and leaving the "singing and melody" in the heart.

Why? Why, because "melody" is based on grinding the enemy to bits with instruments to turn them coward: Jesus did that to Judas when the SOP he shreded for Judas was a sign which only Judas understood. Sop is related to Melody. One makes melody by twanging a bow string to send an arrow "singing" into the human heart to kill them. Therefore, Paul absolutely outlawed external melody.

Therefore, adding instruments flowed from a spirit of superiority to those who were "stuck" with the Bible and did not receive periodic updates from the denominational headquarters.

Not using instruments can never be based on a feeling of superiority. There was never any "music" connected with the worship of God. However, blowing of hundreds of trumpets, shouting to "praise" the superiority of our Warrior God over yours and tens of thousands of warriors twanging their bow string was a feeling of superiority: the Jewish war chant.

When Elijah spoke the quiet word of God to do what the 950 musical, charismatic prophets of Baal and Asherah failed to do he did not feel superior but in mortal fear.

Calling non-instrumentalists sectarians seems distinctily to be a spirit of superiority. Calling non-instrumentalists legalists for NOT obeying a law might be from a spirit of superiority.

No Preexisting Culture or Command for Music as Worship.

The Pre Monarchy period of Israel including David's plague-stopping burnt offerings HAD NO CULTURE OF MUSIC AS WORSHIP.

The entire culture of the "synagoguing" Jews even as the civil rulers and clergy conducted animal sacrifices at the Temple and at Jerusalem or in the area had no COMPONENT OF MUSIC AS A TOOL OF WORSHIP. The "sounders" made a great crashing noise but the only ones who "worshiped" did so by falling on their face. They were not "musicians" but excellers, overseers, straw bosses and yes even slave drivers. The "chief musicians" were under the commanders of the army and their "service" was hard bondage.

The common Jews "who heard Jesus gladly" had no culture connecting "worship" with music.

The Intertestament Temple HAD NO CULTURE OF MUSIC FOR SACRIFICES.

The more institutionalized and Pharisee controlled Synagogue still HAD NO CULTURE OF MUSIC AS WORSHIP.

Josephus would later warn the Levitical Singers that the attempt to wear the linen ephod and perform as temple singers had destroyed the nation once and it would do so again.

Therefore, the SECTARIANS called Christians broke away from paying the temple tax or making sacrifices "offered to God but consumed by the priests."

There was no MUSIC AS WORSHIP from which to break away.

Jesus could heap total abuse upon the Pharisees but not even they ever dared introduce instruments into the synagogue.

Jesus did not use instruments: ejected musicians "more or less violently" as one ejects dung because this "music" was for the truly dead.

Psalm 41 prophesied that Judas would try to "triumph over" Jesus with instruments and "making a joyful noise." This is fully explained in the DSS translation of Psalm 41. Jesus then accused the Jews of being "children" in the marketplace piping trying to make Him perform the Dionysus dance and lament as a sign of utter defeat. Jesus cast out the musical mourning team "more or less violently," and Jesus refused to attend the oppening day of the Feast of Tabernacles which had become a giant fertility ritual. Furthermore, Jesus sent the evangelists out to preach and not to sing.

Paul outlawed the culture of the Dionysus and Orpheus worshipers.

Paul did not prescribe any "musical" term. The direct command throughout his letters is to use The Word of Christ to Teach and Admonish one another. That is the "preaching" task. The in-spirit, personal singing and melody is "in the heart" and is directed to God: I cannot do that listening to a Rock band or watching Suped Up Sister Singers in the SECT of the SENSES.

PERFORMING MUSICIANS DELIBERATELY STIR UP THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES, THE LUST OF THE EARS AND THE VAIN GLORY. VAIN, TO JESUS, MEANT "I HAVE NOT COMMANDED IT."

KNOW WHAT? THE ELDERS KNOW THAT SUCKER-SEEKING-SENSUOUS praise teams are better than having a Money Changing Minister or a Sister Seller of Sick Sheep.

Since THERE WAS NO CULTURE OR ORTHODOX RELIGION OF GOD WHICH INCLUDED "MUSIC"

> and the Biblical churches were taught the non-pagan replacement for external melody,

> one would have to LOOK FOR A LAW WHICH INCLUDED MUSIC AS WORSHIP to violate the entire Law, culture and universally negative view of music as telling God "we will not listen to Your Word."

In order to include music AS worship one has to make up a new law. That is the LAW OF SILENCE. But why would anyone depend on The Law of Silence which says: "God hath not said, 'Thou shalt not sing and make melody on a harp' therefore we are legally free to do so and sow discord among at-peace brethren? What is the motive and who is the motivator?

The Church of Christ had no culture of music

Even though Rome thought that it had control of the "universal" or world-wide church it was still called The Church of Christ. There was NO CULTURE OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC in what was usually identified as the church of Christ until a few Cathedrals added instruments to attract customers. But, they always sowed discord. They were added using the same modern "authority": we need to attract the Seekers to pay off the huge debt by taking money from the poor. Catholic said, as do any today, that they simply need no authority to do whatever they wish even knowing beforhand that they are creating a "musical sect" and sowing discord and offending many of these little ones.

However, music was never part of the official worship of which the common people's congregaton HAD NO PART.

There was NO CULTURE OF INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC in the groups in which churches of Christ continued to shake off ecclesiastical dictatorships.

The Instrumental Music Sect

About 1800 years too late THE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC SECT arose to stop the rapid growth of those who had freed themselves to worship "in spirit" and using "the Word" which is the only worship Jesus said that the Father seeks. "Seeking God" or "giving heed to the public reading of the Word" is the only clearly-defined or preplanned "act of worship" in addition to meeting to eat the Lord's Supper which was also a teaching or showing forth act. It is not possible to worship "in spirit" or in the mind where Christ meets us while showing musical skills allowed solely because it demonstrates a SUPERIOR FORM OF MODERN MUSIC which is not remotely connected to the ideas of Paul. It is not possible for me to "give heed to God" when a superior mediator is performing right in my face seducing me with the lust of the eye, the lust of the ear and the vain glory of life: if Jesud didn't teach it then He said that it is VAIN WORSHIP.

A SECTARIAN is:

The musical sect repudiated the views of the established message of the Old Testament, the established church, and the established view of Biblical authority for music until they arrived on the scene in A.D. 1878 to correct the universal view.

The new "law of silence" and treatment of Scripture had escaped all of the Church Fathers and founders of Reformation churches.

History knows that this came out of "the code of the wild frontier." The Witchcraft craze led into the Great American Awakening which aroused many but created the host of new sects including at one time about 341 protestant sects when there had been few. Quakers went from one to four. Many of these never fully "organized" into a denomination but there are about 146 Baptists sects remaining.

The Second Awakening peaking at Cane Ridge among the Presbyterians, Methodists and Baptists shopping for sheep, was empowered by a new form of hymn singing which included a strong dose of black Voodoo secretly cursing the masters while seeming Christian.

Dallas Burdette verbalizes the ancient superstition that praise empowers God and men and suggests the self-abandonment which is most often triggered by music.

I will say it as kindly as I can but anyone who does not believe that there is NO CULTURE OF MUSIC connected with the collective worship of God and that the Bible does not, over and over, associate instruments with saying, "We will not listen to God's Words" is absolutely and totally BLINDED BY THE MUSICAL SECT.

That, too, is part of the only story we have about "religion" and "music": that Satan led the "youth" to form mixed-sex choirs and to use instrumental music to seduce the Holy Sethites away from the Living Word. When they fell they could never return to the Word. Therefore, they blindly tried to suck everyone else into their musical sect to make them feel "affirmed."

Since from the Garden of Eden, the ORTHODOX culture for spiritual worship which was "seeking God, living right and treating others right" had no LEGAL PROHIBITION against instruments but they simply have no place when you are trying to get your spirit immunized from the noise of the world. Didn't Jesus say "pray in your closet?" But, but, but, "He didn't say, 'thou shalt not have the music team aide thee in thy meditation.'" And, shucks, the legalists are right. But you are trying to get into my mind (nous) as my unique holy place (naos) where God meets people to His Throne Room one at a time: and any musical Levite who stumbles in saying "Lord, Lord" with instruments is in a heep of trouble.

God said through Ezekiel: They listen to my Word like the masses listen to a prostitute with a beautiful voice and can play skillfully upon an instruments. However, they hear the "words" but they have no intention of obeying them. God told the same story in Amos 5, 6 and 8; and Isaiah 5.

BUT, BUT, BUT, "God hath not said, 'THOU shalt not sing erotic praise songs and play with they cymbals."

And that is a fact, but Jesus said that He only speaks to "those with ears." And he only explains in private.

GRACE TO THE RESCUE

But, not to worry. We still have a way to call up GRACE and that will allow us to continue to do "music" even though we know that we are "stealing the church houses of widows." And, and, and, "I know that I lied about not having sex with THAT woman. But, the Republicans and Press are the guilty party." That is the meaning of Post-Modernism which came before the beast of music was resurrected again in the last days.

Know what? In the paraphrased words of Paul to the Corinthians, "Fools love to be fooled."

See The Guilt Clause

R. L. Dabney, Presbyterian and foe of Alexander Campbell comments on the stable of Grace Centered denial of historical fact:

"It has always been common among the advocates of this Popish mode of worship,

to meet the objections of simple minded Protestants to the organ,
with the retort that their scruples were the relics of fanatical prejudice, and rustic ignorance.

"Such objections have been treated almost with levity and ridicule, as if they were contrary to taste, refinement and light, although the reading world knows, that they decided the minds of the wisest and most learned Reformers; the fathers of Protestantism.

"The sensible and just remarks of "Inquirer," in a late number of your paper, under the modest form of doubts, have presented objections to the organ, too solid, too rational, and pious to be thus lightly treated. They cannot fail of having some effect on every evangelical mind. It is not my purpose to attempt to do again, what Inquirer has done so well, by stating the scriptural and historical objections to the use of this instruments, in Protestant worship.

"But my object is to vindicate the great body of the Protestant church, and the Fathers of Protestantism, from the charge of ill taste, rudeness and blind prejudice, in their opposition.

"It is not strange that men, such as the present advocates of the organ in Presbyterian churches in America, should bring such a charge against such men; many of them

educated amidst the richest specimens of the fine arts in the old world, their youth imbued with the spirit of a gorgeous and poetic age?

Why do heart shooters blame the blood on the victim? Well, the conclusion is too horrifying to put into words! But, it began with Adam.

Robertson's Notes on Music and the Guilt Clause

And we venture to think that not those who disapprove of,
but those who introduce services and peculiarities which are trifling and insignificant,
are the guilty parties here.

If you listen to an organ discussion, or read a ritualistic paper,

you cannot fail to discover
that "liberty" is identified with additions to common notions.

[Note: that means "sectarian" but "grace" is held to forgive the deliberate sectarianism]

The people who seek to hold men to unadorned notions,

instead of being accounted friends of liberty,
are held up to execration as bigots, tyrants,
men of contracted notions and shallow minds;

with whom to identify liberty, is held to be as absurd as would have been for Gordon, of Jamaica, to have expected justice from a court martial of aristocratic cadets and martinets.

The totality of musical and instrumental meaning in the Bible is based on destructive, bluffing efforts. Therefore, taking a page from Hitler, the way to defeat those resisting your "truth" is to criticize, criticize, criticize. They tried the musical bluff on Jesus.

This follows the teachings of the master propagandist Goebels, of Nazi fame, who learned from Hitler taught that

'if you repeat a lie often enough, the public will believe it'.

Because the instrumentalists created a musical sect often based on regional superiority over the "defeated" southern churches and the claim to be citified and sophisticated and intellectually superior to those who didn't use instruments, those who introduced instruments obviously felt that their position was so religiously superior that it was worth violating the clear command against sowing discord and creating a musical sect.

The "music" or noise of the Levitical sounders was to exclude the worshipers who had become "strangers" at Mount Sinai and would enter into the holy precincts at the cost of their lives.

Non-instrumentalists exclude no one: every person who loves instruments is invited to a non-instrumental group and we will not "offend your conscience."

Instrumentalists exclude everyone who cannot bow their knees and "sing" while the clergy "pipes."

Because faithful churches HAD NOT used instruments prior to Al Maxey's SECT, and even the Catholic Encyclopedia repudiates it, the HERESY which created DISCORD was by Al's SECTARIANS. When the Catholics added the pipe organ it was NOT to accompany congregational singing. It played processionals, recessionals, interludes and set the PITCH for the clergy chanter or ENchanter. These early pipe organs were not SUITED to accompany the singing of the time which had no FOUR PART complex harmony.
