In Exodus 31 God warned against letting loose or lose custody of
singing, playing and being entertained when the assembly was Called.
In Exodus 32 the people depending on God's SILENCE
to permit their IMAGINATION rose up to play in musical Idolatry.
In Deuteronomy 31 Moses defined SONGS as to be SPOKEN for instruction from God (only):
In Deuteronomy 32 in the SECOND LAW the musical idolatry was repeated.
- Individuals are Disciples (only) of Christ (only) and only when the elders SPEAK and teach that which has been taught.
- It is logical that the doctors of the Law whom Jesus said "take
away the key to knowledge" insist that God DOES not speak: rather "a"
spirit tells them that they can fabricated their own Commands, Examples
and Necessary Inferences IF you want to be their disciple.
- If your shepherds fail to warn you and you FALL into the Devil's trap (His children speak on their OWN) you will never get up.
- God abandoned the Israelites to be destroyed by their own people and sentenced the rest to "worship the starry host."
Deut 31:21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles
are befallen them,
that this song shall testify against them as a
witness;
for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their
seed:
for I know their imagination which they go about,
even now,
before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
- All false teachers who claim that a "spirit" gives them the authority to speak and impose where God has been silent.
- That is proof that they cannot read and just make laughingstocks of themselves and their disciples.
- Paul said of the Corinthians that fools love to be fooled because they have no love for the truth.
- They will hurt you in more ways you can imagine if you tamper with "god's anointeds."
- God says that no human has the wisdom to ADD to the Word of God:

MOSES DEFINED THE SYNAGOGUE FOR TEACHING THE WORD OF GOD:
The synagogue continued when the leaders returned to their tribes and SPOKE the instructions of God:
The synagogue EXCLUDES vocal or instrumental rejoicing:
this was always the MARK of people making the lambs
dumb before the slaughter.
Deut 31:28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes,
and your
officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven
and
H6950 qâhal kaw-hal' A primitive root; to convoke:—assemble (selves) (together), gather (selves) (together).
Deut 31:29 For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you;
and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil
in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work of
your hands.
Deut 31:30 And Moses SPAKE in the ears of all the congregation of
Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
Moses didn't SING this song He SPOKE it because comprehension was the purpose: teaching and admonishing.

THIS IS A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT PAUL MADE CLEARLY IN EPHESIANS 5
Notice that Paul often uses forms of parallelism
II. Antithetical Parallelism--The thought of the
first line is expressed by an antithesis in the second; or is
counterbalanced by a contrast in the second. This parallelism is very common in the Book of Proverbs:
(a) The tongue of the wise adorneth knowledge,
{but} The mouth of the fool blurteth out folly.
Prov., xv, 2.
(b) Soundness of heart is the life of the flesh,
{but}Envy is the rot of the bones.
--Proverbs 14:30.
The thoughts of the righteous are right,
But the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. Proverbs 12:5 (NKJV)
The word SPEAK is the opposite of POETRY or MUSIC. Therefore,
Eph. 5:17 Wherefore be ye not unwise,
but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Eph. 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit;
Eph. 5:19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
{but} singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Eph. 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
This is true because you cannot SPEAK and SING at the same time in an external sense.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain;
and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John 4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh,
when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is,
when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth:
for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit and in truth.
You cannot worship a Spirit God in houses built by human hands or by the works of human hands.
Phil. 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Phil. 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus,
and have no confidence in the flesh.
Plat. Theaet. 189e Socrates
As the talk which the soul has with itself about any
subjects which it considers. You must not suppose that I know this that
I am declaring to you. But the soul, as the image presents itself to
me,
when it thinks, is merely conversing with itself, asking itself
questions and answering,

Stranger Well, then, thought and speech are the same;
only
the former, which is a silent inner conversation of the soul with
itself,
has been given the special name of thought. Is not that true?
Theaetetus Certainly.

But the stream that flows from the soul in vocal utterance through the mouth has the name of speech
