The
Unforgivable Sin Two
In part two we showed that the
WORDS of Christ are SPIRIT and LIFE. If we reject His words then we
blasphmen the Spirit of God. We have not made it clear that
we are not condemning music any more than we would condemn eating
food. The point of this material is that for those who have known and
tasted the Living Word of God through a love for His written word,
and then reject it by "taping up the mouth of Jesus" and replacing
His Word with our own sentimental "word" we are rejecting the Spirit
which Jesus put into His Words (John 6:63). And to substitute the
charismatic body exitement created by musical instruments as
"worship" for "giving heed" to Christ through His Word is repudiating
Christ and His power. We will see that the instruments--not called
music--were used for animal sacrifices for the king, clergy and city
officials only at the temple and only at Jerusalem. The sacrifices
were most often connected with dedication of kings or to the
PURGING or
casting out of the influence of Baal worship in the temple.
>
Psalm 41 prophesied that
Judas
would attempt to "triumph over" Jesus where triumph over was the
"alarm" which included "playing instruments and 'making a joyful
noise before the Lord.'" This was the army's battle cry. > The Judas bag was "for carrying the mouthpieces of wind
instruments." > The Jews 'mocked' Jesus which would have included trying
to panic Him with pipes, drums and loud singing. > The Dead Sea Scroll translation of Psalm shows that
Messiah would be attacked as "beliar" which, like Beelzebub, stands
for Satan. Therefore, in this prophecy and fulfullment, the musical
rejoicing was accusing Jesus with being the Adversary. > The method was for the Levitical musicians or "panic
sounders" to stand in the
gap and attack the adversary which, to
the Jews, was Jesus and His Word. > However, when the attack was over, Messiah would make
His music with the "fruit of the lips" as His only instruments. This
is what Paul defined as the only spiritual sacrifice. > Modern musicians and self-composed hymns (called
idols) have the performers at the
focus of worship and dismiss the Words of Christ which Paul defined
as the only resource for "singing" or teaching. > This is the explicitly claim because the Word is not
adequate to meet the needs of our culture. > Furthermore, worship teams begin or end by claiming that
they can "lead the worshipers into the presence of God." That is,
they claim to be Mediators and thereby repudiate Christ as the One and Only
Mediator between man and God. Others explicitly claim that they
are the mediators. > This has the effect, as in many Old Testament examples,
of telling Christ: "We do not want to hear from you." This is a claim
that He and His words are destructive for our religious
systems. > And this is the unforgivable sin. The military panic music was to defeat the
Gentile enemy which was often identified as the Accuser or Enemy or
Beliar or Devil. However, it also proved effective when much of
Israel finally slipped into the worship of "the starry host" to which
God had abandoned them as a result of the musical idolatry at Mount
Sinai. When the temple, Jerusalem and nation became so
polluted with paganism that God would not hear them, the "good kings"
rose up and used the music like warriors to cast out the evil spirits
of pagan idolatry. During the intertestament period we understand
that not only was the temple purged but that pagan "churches" were
destroyed and their priests destroyed. First
Maccabees. The temple had been
destroyed because under Antiochus Epiphanes the Jews wanted a gymnasium build and to worship like the Gentiles.
This casting out of the demons did not happen
very often and the temple became a den of thieves and a house of
merchandise--just like the end-time Babylon harlot. John calls
Jerusalem "Egypt and Sodom." The Jews could not deny the signs but this
Messiah was not the one they wanted to rule over them. He would
totally destroy their commercial system. Therefore, they would accuse Jesus
of being the Devil or Beliar and this
would permit the military musicians (organized under the king and
commanders
of the army) to defeat the quiet
preaching of Jesus. Their musical
triumph-over would make Him into a "stage player" and then defeat Him
with literal spears and warrior music. His singing and dancing while
they piped would be the supernatural sign from their "god" that Jesus
had been defeated. Too deep for now but the "serpent" is
intimately connected to the Chaldean magicians where "brass" gave
them almost supernatural power to enslave mankind by the "magic" of
wind, string and percussion instruments. This message is well
documented in the documents of the ANE and inherent in the meaning of
Hebrew and Chaldee records. It was a sign of
defeat at Sinai, at Jerusalem, In Job
21, Amos 5, 6, 8, Isaiah 5 and Ezekiel 33. Lucifer came with
musical instruments when he
fell for
trying to "triumph over
God" Himself. Ezel 29 He is credited
with coming equiped with wind, string and percussion instruments all
related to "polluting" or destroying. It was a sign of the king/queen of Tyre as
Lucifer's agent defeating the Jews and others in Isaiah 23.
It went with the king of Babylon as Lucifer's
agent in Isa 14 It was prophesied to be used to triumph over
Jesus in Psalm 41 It was defined in detail as the Jews would try
to defeat Jesus with instruments and identify Him as the
Devil. It was the device of the "women's mourning
team" to appeas the Demons. Jesus cast them out more or less
violently. Matt 9. It will be the sign of the end-time Babylon
Harlot worship according to Revelation 18. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the
Devil is the master divider and sower of
discord. After sowing discord often by
introducing theatrical performance and giving it the name of
"Christian" he accuses those who object of being "neurotic,
psychotic, demon
possessed" and on and on. scribes
scribes And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
Beelzebub (Baal,
Belial, Satan), and by
the prince
of the devils casteth he
out devils. Mark
3:22 And he called them
unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? Mark 3:23
Jesus spoke in parables to keep the Word of Spirit from them (Matthew 13). Belial means worthless. When you go out to
worship a god who is not
the True God you are
children of Belial (De 13:13). A naughty person who "walks with a froward mouth" is Belial. Belial or Beliar
is like Judas as the agent of the devil. He divides houses, sows
discord in order to collect the honor for himself or herself. The
Judas Bag shows that Judas as Satan's agent "came equipped with a
bag for carrying the
mouthpieces of wind instruments." For men shall be
lovers of their own
selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 2 Tim 3:2 And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom
cannot stand. Mark 3:24 And if a
house be divided against
itself, that house
cannot
stand. himself, and be
divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. Mark 3:25 No man can enter
into a strong mans
house, and
spoil his
goods, except he will
first bind the strong
man; and then he will
spoil his
house. Mark 3:27
Blasphemy means to speak against. Verily I say unto
you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and
blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: Mark 3: 28
But he that shall
blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal
damnation: Mark 3: 29 Because they said,
He hath an unclean spirit. Mark 3: 30 > Jesus said that His Words were Spirit
and Life. > Paul said that the "Mind of Christ" to
us is the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 2. > Peter said that the prophets spoke by
"The Spirit of Christ." 1 Peter 1:11 > John in Revelation said that the
Testimony of Jesus is the Spirit. Rev 19:10 > Therefore, those who reject the Words of
Christ as the product of the Spirit of Christ (1 Pe 1:11) blaspheme
against the HolyGhost: For it is impossible for those If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh,
and put him to an open shame. Heb 6: 6 For the earth which
drinketh in the
rain that cometh oft
upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is
dressed, receiveth blessing from God: Heb 6: 7 In Isaiah 55 the
Word of God is compared to the rain of God. But that which beareth thorns and briers is
rejected, and is nigh
unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. Heb 6: 8 In Isaiah
5 rejecting the free food from God by making their "religious festivals" into
wine and music caused God to take away the "food and drink" so that
they hungered and thirsted to death. God sent thorns and the "beasts"
to remove their tiny remnant of "food and drink." The meaning implied is that He
was not inspired of God and therefore spoke for Himself. Jesus identified the Devil as a liar for speaking
on his own. Therefore, to say that those whom Jesus promised to guide
into all truth simply made up their epistles to fit fragmentary
records and their own agenda is to accuse them of speaking on their
own and therefore a devil. Ye are of
your father the
devil, and the
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie,
he speaketh of his
own: for he is a
liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
Isaiah shows the connection
between instrumental music at religious festivals, the loss of the
Word or Spirit of God and the "without measure" concept:
Therefore
hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth
without measure: and
their glory,
and their multitude, and their pomp,
and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. Isaiah 5: 14 > He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. John 3:33
For he whom God
hath sent speaketh the
words of
God: > Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me. John
7:16 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own
glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent
him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. John 7:18
> And all the people that heard him, and the publicans,
justified
God, being baptized with the baptism of John. John 7:29
But the Pharisees
and lawyers rejected the
counsel of God against
themselves, being not baptized of him. John 7:30 > And I fell at his feet to worship him.
And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and
of thy brethren that have the testimony
of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of
Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10 It is the
spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: > Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the
Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I
do nothing of
myself; but as my
Father hath
taught me, I
speak these
things. John
8:28 > If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John
8:36 I know that ye are
Abrahams seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word (logos) hath no place in you.
John 8:37 The modern musical movement
preaches the CORE
GOSPEL in which only
seven facts ABOUT Jesus are vital. The rest is up for grabs because
it is divided apostles teaching different things to divided
churches." Dr. Rubel
Shelly promotes the CORE GOSPEL and then says: "These are the
essentials of Christian faith. It is this core message about
Jesus that we share in common with other Bible-believing,
cross-proclaiming, resurrection-confessing, born-again persons
that constitutes us a
church. "Outside the
essence of the gospel,
there are other features that reflect our
history and consensus interpretations of the larger
biblical message." In preaching the parable part of John
6 and not being able to allow Jesus to
explain it, Dr. Rubel Shelly equates the "food and drink" to eating
Christ as in Catholic theology. Unable to teach the "punch line" the
audience was deprived of the truth: the parable meant that we should
feed on His Word which is Spirit and Life. Post modernism says in effect
that Jesus didn't really inspired the words of the apostles. Rather,
Jesus let them down and didn't establish an earthly kingdom.
Belatedly, they decided to try to reconstruct their memory and make
it seem that Jesus had not really made such a promise. As a result,
they "colored" or sifted the fragmentary memories through Greek
philosophy and created their "narrative theology" to fit their own
personal agenda. That said that Christ did not
have the Spirit of God. In another sermon Dr. Rubel
Shelly said that we can COLOR the S.U.N. to speak of the S.O.N.
Therefore if we can "color" anything the color of Christian or make
it "smell" like the Gospel then we can "become as much like the world
as possible." Jesus said that as Spirit He
would guide the Apostles into all truth. Jesus of Nazareth appeared
to Paul and made the same promise. The Apostles claimed that they
were inspired and left a record about how we should behave in the
Church. If this is not true then Jesus
was not inspired enough to guarantee that what He wanted said was not
delivered. The claim is, however, that "for a price I am hand-picked
and trained by the sovereign grace of God and I can tell you the
truth." For a price. The singing out of their own
"spirit" and preaching out of their own "spirit" is the defacto proof
that they truly deny that Jesus spoke for their God. This is God's visual aid to a people who have been
"turned over" to worship the stars. Spirit here is not another person but as in
the Hebrew it means the mental disposition of the Holy God who is
pure Spirit: Pneuma
(g4151) pnyoo'-mah; from 4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast)
or a breeze; by anal. or fig. a spirit,
i.e. (human) the
rational soul, (by
impl.) vital
principle, mental
disposition, etc., or
(superhuman) an angel, doemon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the
Holy Spirit: - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Comp. 5590.
The Old Testament speaks of
the "spirit" this way: O Lord, be gracious
unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm
every morning, our
salvation also in the time of trouble. Isa 33:2 At the noise of the tumult the
people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. Isaiah 33:3 And your spoil
shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. Isaiah 33:4 The Lord is exalted; for he
dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and
righteousness. Isaiah 33:5 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of
salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure. Isaiah 33:6NIV This is the Spirit which
would rest upon Messiah who was God's ARM sent into the
world: And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the
spirit of
wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might,
the spirit of
knowledge and of the
fear of the
Lord; Isaiah
11:2 Rejecting the Spirit as
seven "spirits" of knowledge means that there is no fear of God in
their lives.
Therefore, to reject the words
of God as THE WORD is to reject Christ as God. If you reject that Word then you have committed the
unforgivable sin. Paul did that but he was ignorant and therefore was
forgiven. If we confess "our experiences"
with what we perceive to be the "spirit" then we are substituting our
views for CONFESSING CHRIST. Also I say unto
you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man
also confess before the angels of God: Luke 12:8 But he that denieth
me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. Luke 12:9
And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but
unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven. Luke 12:10 If we do not confess what
Christ said then we are denying Him as the adequate SPEAKER of His
own WORD. And Paul spoke of those who
drink of the Word freely given by God and begins to bear
thorns: For the earth which
drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth
herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from
God: Heb 6:7 But that which
beareth thorns and briers
is rejected, and is nigh
unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. Heb 6:8 Paul alludes to Isaiah 5 where
the people replaced the Word of God with wine, women and song and God
"broke down the walls" and let the beasts come in and the briars and
thorns. And I will lay
it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up
briers and
thorns: I will also command
the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. Isa 5:6 They added wine, harp, viol,
tabret and pipe to their religious festivals but they didn't regard the work of the Lord.
Therefore, the people hungered and thirsted for the Word but could
not find it. In a physical sense, for almost
all of them their musical paganism was the unforgivable sin.
In view of all of this, to deny
Christ the Spirit is just as certain and terminal as rejecing the
Spirit Words He delivered to us in the Epistles. But, Jesus does not Judge. And
Jesus came to bring Grace. And why do you care if Jesus gives grace
(to them "unlimited forgiveness for unlimited sins"). And if Jesus is
not going to judge how dare you. We don't and neither did
Jesus: And if any man hear
my words, and believe not, I judge him not:
for I came not to judge
the world, but to save
the world. John 12:47 He that
rejecteth
me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last
day. John 12:48 Music is both a cause and
sign that people have told God: "We won't hear your words just
now." The music of the Old Testament was
making-war
and burning-animals
music. To try it on Christ is an
unforgivable sin. The Jews "rose up to play" at Mount Sinai. This was
Egyptian musical idolatry. For that, God "turned them over to worship
the starry
hosts" which in Amos 5 and 6 was Remphan or Chiun. In Jerusalem it
was Molech
where the music accompanied the burning
phase of little babies. All of this
idolatry used lots of instrumental
music. Israel couldn't do it and get
away with it, neither can we. In the Exodus event God blinded Israel to the Word
and Paul in 2 Cor. 3 says that they remained blind until they
turned to Christ. In Amos 5, 6, 8 and Isaiah 5 this "took away the knowledge of the Word" so that they were willingly made deaf and
blind to
God. Willful sin as pre-planned "sowing
of discord" to turn church from school
to theater
is committed with a high hand and there is no redemption. It is
exactly the sin of Sinai, Gerezim and Jerusalem and one cannot
get by with it. If you want a strong delusion from strong deluders
just tell God: we reject all but the
CORE GOSPEL to determine faith and
practice. He will do it to you jiffy quick. But you will never be
able to read the Word for its Spirit value again. We do not believe that God decides
"I will destroy you for violating my
commands." Rather, God established the
laws which are eternal statements of cause and effect. When you
jump off a tall building then it is the will of God that you go
patty cake on the sidewalk. Jumping is an unforgivable violation of
the law. The role of music (sumphonia) which is
eleminated in the demand to teach is the one act which we do
which has a huge historical record of cause and effect. Speaking the Words of Christ said
"I honor the Son Who honored the Father by repeating only
What He heard." "Music" said: "I will not listen to God's Word
straight from the source." Whammo! Israel went blind. All but a tiny remnant of the Jews
refused to listen to the
Words of God and the primary weapon for
silencing His Voice in their heart was instrumental music as
vital to paganism "ecstasy." Nothing so destroys the ability to think
rationally than endorphins or "morphine-within" created by complex
harmony and instrumental music. Therefore, the planned cause was musical
celebration and the predestinated
effect is that the people hunger and
thirst for the Word and you refuse to let them have it. When you starve a
child they send you to prison or kill you; when you starve children of the
Word then God's effect
is that you have
died spiritually and you
are not going to get up. Hezekiah did that to little
Manasseh while he "played on the harp in the temple all day."
Hezekiah, too, had a Seeker Center and welcomed the enemy "seeker" into his temple to
see his gold and guess what? The enemy wasn't seeking the glory of
God but the gold. Sucking Seekers with sexual stimulas through music
will always excite and incite the Enemy to take over your new
theatrical "venue." And gues What? God doesn't really care.
Manasseh grew up to burn babies
in the red hot arms of Molech while the loud instruments
played. Therefore, if Christ has said that as
Word or Logos, His Spirit
power is in His words and we ignore
His words and replace them with any human substitution (philosophical
sermons, erotic praise tunes) then the law of predestinated cause and
effect will crush us. What we erroneously
call it "music" under the Law of Carnal Ordinances was the WEAPON OF
WARFARE. Playing instruments and "making a joyful noise before the
Lord" was a war
chant. The "praise" of
David was to make self
vile to panic the
enemy. The enemy was always Beliar. Music helped put one's boot on
the Gentile's neck. The Dead Sea Scrolls record the
musical war
chants calling down God
to defeat Beliar. It was prophesied that the Jews
using Judas would try to "triumph over Jesus." This is defined in Psalm 41 as the "Alarm" which
is defined by the above war chant. The Dead Sea Scrolls define
this as identical to David's war music. Furthermore, they
"piped" trying to force Jesus into the
effeminate, choral dance while singing the laments of defeat.
Getting Jesus to take on the role of the effeminate was a way to
"neuterize" the defeated enemy if you didn't kill them. The singing and
dancing the David-like dance would be the clear evidence that Jesus
had been defeated and that He in fact was not God and His Words were
not inspired. When we fall into singing and
dancing (clapping and swaying) we are demonstrating that our rational
or spiritual nature has been defeated. When we ignore the Word or
Logos and replace it with "musical performance and making a joyful
noise" we tell the
world that we are the superior God-ordained people and Jesus the Word
is the enemy. This is one unforgivable sin
and the theatrical music is more of a sign of defeat than the cause
of defeat. The israelites rose up to play which defined
the Egyptian worship with singing, dancing, instrumental music and
going naked like David who is also said to have "played."
Nevertheless, they said that they were
worshiping the One True God. Their loss was terminal. The Role of Women in Charismata
Musical "worship" is charismatic worship
because the performers have to be somewhat "outside of themselves" to
presume to stand up and substitute their "songs" and teaching style
for the Words of Christ and His "read the word, have the common
decency to sit dow" style. Musical "worship" is charismatic when anyone
"feels" something crawling in their skin and that "lightness of
being" feeling. If that feeling persisted it would kill you or
institutionalize you because you are rationally immobalized. And that
is the predestinated goal of those predestinated to become Lucifer's
agents. "Philo of Alexandria had already emphasized the ethical qualities of
music, spurning the 'effeminate' art of his Gentile surroundings. Similarly, early
synagogue
song intentionally
foregoes artistic
perfection, renounces
the playing of instruments, and attaches itself entirely to 'the
word'--the TEXT of the
Bible" (Encyclopedia Judaica, 1971 ed., "Music") Clement of Alexandria on Music: Chapter VIII.-The True Doctrine is to
Be Sought in the Prophets. "It is now time, as we have
despatched in order the other points, to go to the
prophetic
Scriptures; The divine Scriptures and institutions of wisdom
form the short road to
salvation. Devoid of
embellishment, of
outward beauty of
diction, of
wordiness and seductiveness, they raise up humanity strangled by wickedness,
teaching
men to despise the
casualties of life; and with one and the same voice remedying many evils, they at once dissuade us from
pernicious deceit, and clearly exhort us to the attainment of the
salvation set before us. When one "assembled" with the church or
ekklesia, one always "synagogued." That is, the
person who assembled came to synagogue. The synagogue was never a
pagan or Jewish worship center but it was a school of the Bible even
as the church must be the school of Christ and His Spirit
Word. Moreover I will
endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things
alway in remembrance. 2 Peter 1:15 For we have not
followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the
power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty. 2 Peter 1:16 For he received from God the
Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the
excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2
Peter 1:17 And this voice
which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy
mount. 2 Peter 1:18 We have also a more sure word of
prophecy; whereunto ye
do well that ye take
heed, as unto a light
that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the
day star arise in your
hearts: 2 Pet
1:19 Take heed is the
only clear "worship" word: Proserchomai (g4334) pros-er'-khom-ahee; from 4314 and 2064
(includ. its alt.); to approach, i.e. (lit.) come near, visit, or
(fig.) worship, assent to: - (as soon as he) come (unto), come
thereunto, consent, draw near, go (near, to, unto). If you "feel it" it is a charismatic
climax. This is the stated goal of the Vineyard Praise Cult and
the "new style worship" with the new praise song books. You usually
feel it when sexual identification allows you to worship the
performer. That is why popular musicians either or let themselves be
identified as gender-confused: you get both genders that way:.
But I suffer not a
woman to teach, nor to usurp authority (authenteo) over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Ti.
2:12 This truly means to be
submissive and teachable in the church sense. It outlaws any
nonsedentary or performing role which would make her stand between man and God.
One cannot look and listen with the lust of the eyes and lust of the
ears without being sexually assualted with the "authority sword"
which replaces the Sword of the Spirit. "Usurp authority" is one word by which a woman
becomes the spiritual "sword" and does not remain "sedentary."
"Although one
finds
hints in
certain modern
lexicons, the
erotic sense of authentes is often ignored. The grammarian Phynichus, writing
approximately A.D. 180, explained that the word is composed of two
parts-autos, "self,"
and hentos from himi: to "thrust out from
oneself" or to "desire." The word should never, he announced, be used
to denote tyranny, but rather
murder by
one's own hand, as with a
sword. In the Wisdom of
Solomon, the musical failure in the
wilderness is discussed. 12:5 -
their merciless slaughter of children, and their sacrificial feasting on human flesh and
blood. These initiates from the midst of a heathen cult, Catherinne C.
Koreger writes: "authentas goneis, "parents engendering helpless souls, in the midst of a discussion of the
abominable fertility and mystery rites of the Canaanites. Although God gave the Canaanites ample opportunity to repent, yet Thou wert not
ignorant that theirs was a wicked conception, their evil inseminated,
and that their attitude could never be changed. For it was a cursed
seed from the beginning. Catherine
C. Kroeger Wisdom of Solomon 12:
6 - these parents who
murder helpless lives, thou didst will to destroy by the hands of our
fathers, Paul in Hebrews will say that after you have
received the knowledge of Spirit
truth and then try to go back to
body-directed ceremonial
legalism you have committed the
unforgivable sin. Why? Because God gets mad? No. It simply means that
God's Spirit Word has the power to form the image and character of
Christ in us only if we let His
Words stay as He wrote them without
trying to make some utilitarian use of them. In the same book of
Hebrews, Paul defines the new "sacrifice" as the fruit of the lips. This is
intended as a contrast. If you play the animal burning music while
dedicating it to Christ you will never
get away with it. Judas would try to triumph according to Psalm
41 with musical instruments and "making a joyful noise before the
Lord." This was the Israelite battle cry against Beliar or the enemy.
The "Judas Bag" is seen in the sketch below. The spotted thing on the
right is the flute case. The box or bag on the side is the BAG
mentioned only of Judas. It was "for carrying the mouthpieces of wind
instruments." It is made up of "speaking in tongues" and "of the
world or COSMOS." Satan is the
KosmoKraetor or ruler of the Cosmos. The dance and lament they tried
to seduce into Jesus is illustrated by this sketch in which up to
fifty people joined in the CHOIR OF DANCE. The oxgoad as phallic
symbol is also useful for those engaged in the exhilarated worship of
the NEW WINESKIN. "Later I thought of
this clown
of the flute
as a grotesque modern
form of the
great god
Pan of the forest whom
the Greeks
worshipped as the symbol of cosmic vitality--serene, goat-footed Pan who
plays the sacred syrinx
(pan pipes) in the
sinking dusk and with its magic sound evokes an echo in
all things: leaves and fountains shiver, the stars begin to tremble, and the shaggy goats dance at the edge of the grove. (qtd. in Kinsley 33, n. 49) Kinsley,
David R. The Sword and
the Flute: Kali &
Krsna: Dark Visions of the Terrible and the Sublime in Hindu
Mythology. Berkeley: U of California P, 1975. Dr. Rubel Shelly believes that
John's "taking liberties" with the Words let him see the LOGOS in
Greek philosophy.
In our review we show
that the Greek Logos is consistent with the Cosmic Christmas and
baptizing the S.U.N. god as the S.O.N. God. Hermes
is also the god of shepherds, land travel,
merchants, weights and measures, oratory, literature, athletics and thieves, and known for his
cunning and
shrewdness. Originally Hermes
was a phallic
god, being attached
to fertility and good
fortune, and also a patron of roads and
boundaries. His name coming from herma,
the plural being hermaiherm was a square or rectangular pillar in either stone or bronze,
with the head of Hermes
(usually with a beard),
which adorned the top of the pillar, and male genitals near to the base of the pillar. The offspring of
Hermes are believed to be Pan,
Abderus and Hermaphroditus (half man, half woman). Hermes as with the other gods
had numerous affairs with goddesses, nymphs and mortals. In some legends even sheep and
goats. Pan,
the half man half goat, is believed to be the son of Hermes and Dryope, Pan can
make humans, like cattle, stampede in "panic" terror. Easton's:
Hairy one. Mentioned in
Greek mythology as a creature composed of a man and a goat, supposed
to inhabit wild and desolate regions. The Hebrew word is rendered
also "goat"
(Leviticus 4:24) and "devil",
i.e., an idol in
the form of a goat (17:7; 2 Chr. 11:15). When it is said (Isaiah
13:21; comp 34:14) "the satyrs
shall dance there," the meaning is that the place referred to shall
become a desolate
waste. Some render the
Hebrew word "baboon," a species of which is found in Babylonia. They sacrificed
unto
devils, not to God; to
gods whom they knew not, to new (stranger, prostitutes) gods that
came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Deut 32:17 Of the
Rock that begat thee thou art
unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. Deut 32:18 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, Psalms
106:37 See Adam Clark This defines the Nagash or serpent in the garden of
Eden. Of course, the "children" love
the LIGHT and MUSIC show but they are too young to know that their
fathers and mothers are deliberately having them burned in the red
hot arms of Molect just so the "priest" can get a better message from
God out of the music and screams of terror: Molech just loves to eat
freshly-cooked babies with "rejoicing before the lord" to the beat of
the harp, tambourine, singing and drumming. Paul told the Corinthians
not to participate in this worship of demons (bull or goat spirit).
He also warned the Romans. We know that we had rather get jacked up with
music than meet reverently with those "morose people of the first
service." That was the accusation made of John the Baptist.
Plato Cratylus Socrates: Then in reference to his ablutions and absolutions, as being the physician who orders them, he may be
rightly called Apolouon (purifier); or in respect of his
powers of
divination, and his truth
and sincerity, as in the Thessalian dialect,
for all the Thessalians call him Aplos;
also he is Ballon
(always shooting), because he is a master archer who never misses; or
again, the name may refer to his musical attributes, and then, as in akolouthos, and akoitis, and in many other words the a is supposed to mean
"together," so the meaning of
the name Apollo will be "moving together," whether in the poles of heaven as they are called,
or in the
harmony of
song, which is
termed concord, And he is the
God who presides over harmony, and makes all things move together, both among Gods and among men.
And as in the words akolouthos and akoitis
the a is substituted for an o, so the name Apollon is equivalent to omopolon; only
the second l is added in order to avoid
the ill-omened sound of destruction (apolon). Now the suspicion of this destructive power still haunts the minds of some who do not consider
the true value of the name, which, as I was saying just now,
has reference to all the
powers of the God, who
is the single
one, the everdarting,
the purifier, the mover together (aplous, aei Ballon, apolouon,
omopolon). Therefore, knowing what we do when we do it we
are willingly deluded by the world's oldest professions: religious
musicians and enchanters (prophesiers, witches of Endor) who are
advertised to "bring us into the presence of God." You have to be
awed by your own talent, drunk without wine and in an abnormal
emotional state before you can stand before people and claim to "lead
them into worship." Worship is in spirit or mind (nous) which is the
new holy place (naos) and musicians who attempt to go there with the
honest seeker alone with God has been or will be struck dead
spiritually for the presumption of Lucifer personified by the
king/queen of Tyre. She/he is called the harp-playing prostitute but
his/her music wanted to be "remembered as a male." The king/queen of
Babylon rotted on a bed of maggots the everlasting fires and garbage
at the once-king's music grove which became the symbol of hell.
He/she may be rising again as the king/queen of Babylon who will
again be destroyed along with his/her musicians (Rev. 18).
"Awed by the
mysteries of his own
spirit no less than by
those of nature, primitive man was likely to attribute to divine influence
any abnormal emotional state, whether above or below the usual
level. Medicine
men customarily went
into states of
trance in which they
were believed to be in
communication with the gods, and many tribes
supposed lunatics and sexual deviants to be divinely possessed. In most early
societies, moreover, men
evolved techniques for
deliberaly inducing the abnormal forms of consciousness in which they supposed themselves to
achieve union with
divine power, sometimes
by the use of drugs and other physiological stimuli, sometimes by
hypnotic
dances and
music. (Parkes, H. Bamford, Of Gods and Men, p.
32-33). The entire record is that when we do it we
are not going to retreat any more than a morphine addict willingly
hooked is going to ever be free again in his life. Because "music" is based on the unlearned
assumption that the Jews worshiped by
instrumental music then to deliberately
restore the musical part makes one guilty of violating the whole
sacrificial type. He would say that this is an unforgivable
sin. And then shall that
Wicked be
revealed, whom the Lord
shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming: 2 Thess 2:8 Even him, whose
coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying
wonders, 2 Thess 2: 9
And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might
be saved. 2 Thess 2: 10 And for this cause God shall
send them strong
delusion (Plane or wandering star or traveling tramps), that they should believe a lie: 2 Thess 2: 11 Woe unto them for
they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. Jude 1:11 Book Book Jude quotes The Book of Enoch which defines the fallen angels or
wandering stars. In the Book of Jubilees and other ancient documents
the cardinal sin was Satan's teaching the youth how to organize
mixed-sex choirs, play instrumental music and this led to sexual
perversion. And remember that as a result
of the musical idolatry at Mount Sinai and throughout Israel's
history, God "turned them over to worship the starry host."
God came with "ten thousand of
His Host" to Mt Sinai and will come again to execute judgment. The
first sin in these documents is using instrumental music to gain
praise from God and take away the Word. That they all might be
damned who believed not the
truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness. 2 Thess 2: 12 Peter says that by worshiping by "giving heed"
to the Words of God, the Daystar rises in our hearts. It may not
tickle our sex nerve endings but the effect is in the spirit
nature. It is a terrible thing to be
blinded and made deaf by God. This happened in Isaiah 6 and
29. And he said, Go,
and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye
indeed, but perceive not. Isaiah 6:9 Make the
heart of this people fat, and make their ears
heavy, and shut their
eyes; lest they see
with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their
heart, and convert, and be healed. Isaiah 6: 10 Then said I, Lord, how long?
And he answered, Until
the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be
utterly
desolate, Isaiah 6: 11
And the Lord have
removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of
the land. Isaiah 6: 12 This is a description much like
the condition of the earth when God began to create. Jeremiah 4 uses
language quite identical to the original "creation" to describe the
fallen nature of Israel. In Isaiah 29:
WOE to Ariel, to
Ariel, the city where David dwelt add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices. Isaiah 29:1 Yet I will
distress
Ariel, and there shall
be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel. Isaiah 29:
2 And I will
camp
against thee round
about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise
forts against thee. Isaiah 29: 3 Stay yourselves, and wonder;
cry ye
out, and cry: they are
drunken, but not with wine;
they stagger, but not with strong drink. Isaiah 29: 9 For the Lord hath
poured out upon you the
spirit of deep sleep,
and hath closed
your eyes: the prophets and your rulers,
the seers
hath he covered. Isaiah 29: 10 And the vision of
all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which
men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee:
and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: Isaiah 29: 11 Jesus quoted from Isaiah and
Ezekiel 33 to describe
the Jews of the first century who were more involved with mouth
religion and ceremonial than with the Word of God: And the book is
delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith,
I am not
learned. Isaiah 29:12
Wherefore the Lord
said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from
me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Isaiah 29:13 Therefore, behold,
I will proceed to do a
marvellous work among
this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the
wisdom of their wise men
shall perish, and the
understanding of their
prudent men shall be hid. Isaiah 29:14 Ezekiel put it this
way: Also, thou son of
man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee
by the
walls and in the doors
of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother,
saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth
from the Lord. Ezekiel 33:30 And they come unto
thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and
they hear thy words, but
they will not do them:
for with their mouth
they shew much love,
but their heart goeth after their covetousness. Ezekiel 33:31 And,
lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do
them not. Ezekiel 33:32 And when this
cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a
prophet hath been among them. Ezekiel 33:33 Therefore, when Christ came the eyes and ears
were still sealed because they were still trying to find God with
rituals and inventing their own words. Jesus identifies this as lying
and of the Devil: The CORE GOSPEL presumes to be able to discount
the "doctrine" taught by Christ through the Apostles and through
religious ceremonialism empowered by modern music "ascend up to God"
and get their own personal message. However, God came in the form of a
humble servant to speak Spirit
Words in quiet places. The sheep of
Christ would be able to hear His
voice because they did not trust their
own talents to either understand the Mind or Spirit of God or to
raise their own bodies. Jesus as man set the example of refusing to do or speak anything which He had not received from the Father. He said that
"flesh counts for nothing" but that His Words were Spirit and
Life: Then said Jesus
unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know
that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. John 8:28 If the
Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed. John 8:36 I know that ye are
Abrahams seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word (logos) hath no place in
you. John 8:37
See John Chrysostom------John
Chrysostom "God" Named by His Work. The Book of Jubilees, Chapter One reads: And the Lord said unto Moses:
'I know their contrariness and their thoughts and their
stiffneckedness, and they will not be obedient till they
confess Jubilees 1:23 their own sin and
the sin of their fathers. And after this they will turn to Me in all
uprightness and with all (their) heart and with all (their) soul,
and I will
circumcise the foreskin of their heart and the foreskin of the heart
of their seed, and I will create in them a holy
spirit, and I will cleanse them so that they shall not turn away from Me from that day unto eternity.
Jubilees 1: 24 And their souls
will cleave to Me and to all My commandments, and they will fulfil My Jubilees 1: 25 commandments,
and I will be their
Father and they shall
be My children. And they all shall
be called children of the living God, and every angel and every
spirit shall know, yea, they shall know that these are My children,
and that I am their Father in uprightness and righteousness, and
that Jubilees 1: 26 I love them. And
do thou write
down for thyself all
these words which I
declare unto thee on this mountain, the first and the last,
which shall come to pass
in all the divisions of the days in the law and in the testimony and in the weeks and
the jubilees unto eternity, until I descend and dwell Jubilees 1: 27 with them
throughout eternity.' By definition, a "Christian" is
one who speaks only what he has heard from Jesus Christ through
inspiration. If one "makes up their own songs and sermons" they are
"speaking on their own" and this is how Jesus defines the
Devil. The majority of mankind has
always tried to manufacture power devices: the sword, smelting, musical instruments, tricks of soothsaying, to claim and sell a message from God. The Jewish
leaders were such men. Jesus said that they made long
prayers and made up their own replacement for God's Word and did it
to "steal the houses of widows." This self-speak is defined by Jesus
as LYING and makes one a "son" of the Devil. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen
with your father. John 8:38 They answered and
said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye
were Abrahams children, ye would do the works of Abraham. John 8:39 The Word as Test for the
Devil But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. John 8:40
Ye do the deeds of your
father. Then said they
to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John 8:41 Jesus said unto
them, If God were your
Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
myself, but he sent me. John 8:42 The Word as Test for
Satan Satanas
(g4567) sat-an-as'; of Chald. or. corresp. to 4566 (with the def.
affix); the accuser, i.e. the devil: - Satan. Echidna (g2191) ekh'-id-nah; of uncert. or.; an
adder or other poisonous snake (lit. or fig.):- viper. Echthros (g2190) ekh-thros'; from a prim. echtho ,
(to hate); hateful
(pass. odious, or act.
hostile); usually as a
noun, an adversary (espec. Satan):- enemy, foe Jesus refused to speak to
the "multitudes" except in parables. This was to keep the "serpent
disciples" from understanding His message for defeating
them. And these are they
by the way
side, where the
word is
sown; but when they
have heard, Satan cometh
immediately,
and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. Mk.4:15 Anyone who takes the word
out of the heart of people is a Satan. When people make fun of
speaking or "singing" the Word of Christ or of teaching it "as it has
been taught to you" it is likely that they have been exposed to the
Word enough to know its spiritual power but lament that it does not
have the carnal power to attract the masses. Therefore, they speak
the words out of their own spirit, become liars and Jesus says, sons
of the Devil. Paul to the Hebrews makes them fallen and unable to
return to God. Nevertheless, like the Pharisees they do not ever give
up their position. Therefore, their
"gospel" will be the gospel of Satan. The Jewish clergy and most of
their blind followers found themselves in that lost condition when
Jesus came. They rejected His Word and were offended that they were
about to lose their place and their position just like the
silversmiths. > Lust means an intense
craving for that which is forbidden.
Therefore, the universal view of the church has been that Paul
imitated Christ and taught that "teaching" the inspired Word meant
preaching it one to another. The world is filled with preachers
who lust to "do that which is unlawful" according to the written Word
by declaring that God makes no commands, nor examples nor can we
infer anything from anything which we read. Therefore, to lust after
ways which "sow discord" and has no Biblical authority defines one as
a "Devil." And for that, God will send them strong delusions that
they CAN NEVER AGAIN hear the Word. > Therefore, they declare THERE IS NO LAW and we
can add the "lust of the eye, the lust of the ear, the
lust of the flesh through Sister Singers and strange Brother
Singers." > Why? Because they CANNOT hear the
Word of Christ or of Paul and they do not want you to hear
Christ. > Because their father is
the devil, and speaking HIS OWN WORDS made him a
liar, they make new laws and speak
out of their own twisted minds from which the Spirit of Christ has
been swept out. If your Father is the "Son's" Father then you
will be able to hear His words hidden in parables for the liars, and
sons of Satan. Here is the explicit
PATTERNISM of Jesus Christ: For I
have not
spoken of myself; but
the Father
which sent me, he gave
me a commandment, what
I should say, and what I
should speak. John
12:49 And I know that his
commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever
I speak
therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so
I speak. John
12:50 And earlier, He
said: It is the
spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are
life. John 6:63 Zoopoieo (g2227) dzo-op-oy-eh'-o; from the same as 2226
and 4160; to (re-) vitalize (lit. or fig.): - make alive, give life,
quicken. There is no physical effort you can perform
to create life. The ZOE
principle claims to
teach teams how to lead the worship through music, drama and dance.
These are all "the works
of human hands." [Most
instruments require the use of both hands] They are all directed to the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eye, the lust of the ear and the vain glory of
watching. However, as the true "worship"
word under the Law and under Christ is "to seek God through His Word." Of "give attendance to the public
reading of the Word and to doctrine." God often warned Israel that
they should "seek" Him through His Word. However, those who "sang
idle songs and improvized on the harp like David" told God: "Go away,
we will not hear your Word. The WORD judged them in the sense that it
could bring life but they starved to death. They were not just insincere:
they were according to Jesus, liars and children of the Devil. They
actually worshipped the Devil as Remphan or Chiun. The Word as power to
judge: When Jesus spoke the eternal
Word to the masses they did not have the key to understand it.
Therefore, the spoken words of God Incarnate passed judgment and they
were lost: Why do
ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. John 8:43 And if any man hear my words:, and believe not, I judge him not: for
I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 12:47
He that rejecteth
me, and receiveth not my
words, hath one that
judgeth him: the word
that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John
12:48 "But," you insist, "Jesus
does not Judge us: He came to save us"! And if any
man hear my
words:, and believe
not, I judge him
not: for I came not to
judge the world, but to save the world. John 12:47 He that rejecteth
me, and receiveth not my
words, hath one that
judgeth him: the
word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:48 Paul insists in the
"singing" passages that we teach the Word of God for two reasons:
first, it is inspired by God. Second, if we do not teach the Word "as
it has been taught" then the evil false teachers will gain an
entrance. Therefore, to reject the
WORDS of Christ is fatal because, and we quote again: For I
have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I
should
say, and
what I should
speak. John
12:49 And I know that his
commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said
unto me, so I
speak. John 12:50
The Word as power to give
Life: But if the Spirit
of (mental attitude) him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in
you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his
Spirit that dwelleth in you. Rom 8:11 The Word as power to
Sanctify: Sanctify (Make Holy) them through thy truth: thy word is
truth. John 17:17 Who also hath made us able
ministers of the new
testament (will); not
of the letter, but of the spirit:
for the letter
killeth, but the
spirit giveth life. 2 Co. 3:6 The person whose will is put
into effect is dead. His letter is a letter from the dead. However,
the spirit of the person while still living was the power to dispose
of their property. Therefore, we are not to honor a dead letter but
the Spirit of the person. In this case, the Law of Moses
was given "because of transgression." That transgression was the
result of rejecting the living Book of the Covenant
for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 3:34
the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit,
and they are life.
John 6:63

present us with the
appliances necessary for
the attainment of piety,
and so establish the
truth.
(The sword was considered a phallic symbol in ancient Greece.) Moeris, also in the second century, advised his
students to use another word, autodikein, as it was less coarse than authentein. The
Byzantine Thomas Magister reiterates the warning against using this
objectionable term. The charred fragments of a scroll excavated from
the ruins of Herculaneum demonstrate the use of authentein in a parallel position to "those wounded by the terrible
shafts of Eros." The lines were penned by the rhetorician and
obscene epigrammatist, Philodemus, who was nicknamed "Lascivus."
