It is a lie to claim that Churches of Christ thought that they could use human reason to determine God's Will. Nor whatever individual congregations do or not to upset theologians, the WAY, ROAD, METHOD OR PATTERN always existed independent of any human imagination.

THE FEMINIST HOSTILE TAKEOVER DEFINED BY GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT: Isaiah.3.Women.and.Children.Rule.Over.Them.html
by Stache, Kristine M., Ph.D., LUTHER SEMINARY, 2008, 196 pages; 3360826 This dissertation is an exploration into the history, theology, and day-to-day thoughts around missional church from leaders and lay persons of four different denominational systems. Interview data was collected from 350 individuals in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Presbyterian Church USA's Synod of the Trinity, Mennonite Church USA,
and a fellowship of Churches of Christ connected with Abilene Christian University.
In addition, a NEW WAY of understanding the TRIUNE GOD as a social reality
and in relationship with humanity
is introduced through the hermeneutic of feminist theology.
Specifically, how can the EXPERIENCE OF WOMEN help one better
understand the kingdom of God present today and coming at us from the future?
JESUS AND EVERYONE PREACHED THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM: YOU ARE TOO LATE LADIES.
What does it mean to become part of God's NEW CREATION by participating in the life of God?
Implications for understanding God in light of this HERMMENEUTIC
are presented for furthering the missional church conversation.

This new paradigm [Pattern], however, has not always been realized.

"At the Highland Church of Christ, a faithful Christian woman who studied the Bible very carefully,
TAUGHT the elders at Highland that THIS TRADITIONAL view was far from the truth of the Bible.
She cited numerous texts in the Bible that the Holy Spirit works in our lives
just as much as he did in the first century.
Slowly, but surely, the whole church listened and learned and changed our position FOR THE GOOD. "1Cor. 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you
are the commandments of the Lord.

BEFORE YOU CAN CONFISCATE A CHURCH OR SCHOOL YOU FIRST HAVE TO CAUSE ACTUAL "PLAN" TO INDUCE DISSOCIATION
http://www.pineycom.com/FaxofLifeR2.html
http://www.pineycom.com/mkv2ch06.htmlIn Machiavelli's famous "The Prince", he wrote: "It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new.
This coolness arises partly from the fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them." He was right!
JESUS DID NOTHING WORTHY OF DISMISSING AS A PLAGARIST FOR CLAIMING THAT THE PROPHETS SPOKE ABOUT HIM.
The mass meeting is also necessary for the reason that in it the individual, who at first while becoming a supporter of a young movement, feels lonely and easily succumbs to the fear of being alone, for the first time gets the picture of a larger community, which in most people has a strengthening, encouraging effect.
The same man, within a company or a battalion, surrounded by all his comrades, would set out on an attack with a lighter heart than if left entirely on his own. In the crowd he always feels somewhat sheltered, even if a thousand reasons actually argue against it. But the community of the great demonstration not only strengthens the individual, it also unites and helps to create an esprit de corps. The man who is exposed to grave tribulations, as the first advocate of a new doctrine in his factory or workshop, absolutely needs that strengthening which lies in the conviction of being a member and fighter in a great comprehensive body.
And he obtains an impression of this body for the first time in the mass demonstration. When from his little workshop or big factory, in which he feels very small, he steps for the first time into a mass meeting and has thousands and thousands of people of the same opinions around him, when, as a seeker, (Als Suchender.' A Wagnerian phrase, which Hitler was apparently determined to use at all costs) he is swept away by three or four thousand others into the mighty effect of suggestive intoxication and enthusiasm,
when the visible success and agreement of thousands confirm to him the rightness of the new doctrine and for the first time arouse doubt in the truth of his previous conviction -
then he himself has succumbed to the magic influence of what we designate as 'mass suggestion.'
The will, the longing, and also the power of thousands are accumulated in every individual. The man who enters such a meeting doubting and wavering leaves it inwardly reinforced: he has become a link in the community.
The National Socialist movement must never forget this and in particular
it must never let itself be influenced by those bourgeois who know everything better,
but who nevertheless have gambled away a great state including their own existence and the rule of their class.

CONTRARY TO THE ASSAULT UPON THE HISTORIC CHURCH OF CHRIST:http://www.pineycom.com/Acts.7.Temple.Not.Commanded.html
The prophets of God were not like the raving Pythoness of heathen temples,
nor are the saints of God converted into whirling dervishes by an influence which is the author.There can be little doubt that Paul would have severely reprobated such scenes as frequently occurred during the revival of which we are speaking.
"He would have said to the people substantially what he said to the Corinthians. If any unbeliever or ignorant man come to your assemblies and hears one shouting in ecstasy, and another howling in anguish; if he sees some falling, some jumping, some lying in convulsions, others in trances, will he not say ye are mad?" (Hodge, History Presbyterian Church quoted in Barton W. Stones' Biography, p. 368, 369)

as it is written in the book of the prophets,
O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts
and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
BUT God had not commanded sacrifices. But:
Acts 7:43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch,

And if those that corrupt mere human families are condemned to death, how much more shall those suffer everlasting punishment who endeavour to corrupt the CHURCH OF CHRIST, for which the Lord Jesus, the only-begotten Son of God, endured the cross, and submitted to death! Whosoever, "being waxen fat," and "become gross," sets at nought His doctrine, shall go into hell.
In like manner, every one that has received from God the power of distinguishing, and yet follows an unskilful shepherd, and receives a false opinion for the truth, shall be punished.

"As if the Church had any deadlier enemies than wicked prelates, who not only suffer Christ to run out of request for want of preaching him, but hinder his spreading by their multitudes of laws merely contrived for their own profit, corrupt him by their forced expositions, and murder him by the evil example of their pestilent life. Nay, further, whereas the CHURCH OF CHRIST was founded in blood, confirmed by blood, and augmented by blood, now, as if Christ, who after his wonted manner defends his people, were lost, they govern all by the sword.

There is no saint of any celebrity of whom two or three bodies are not in existence. I can name the place where a piece of pumice stone was long held in high veneration as the skull of Peter. Decency will not permit me to mention fouler exhibitions. Undeservedly, therefore, are we blamed for having studied to purify the Church of God from such pollutions.
Calvin's Calvinism On the Eternal Predestination of God by John Calvin
The Pastors of the CHURCH OF CHRIST Geneva pray that God would grant to those most excellent Men, their supreme Lords, and to the Syndics and Senate of Geneva, a just and holy administration of the State, and all happy prosperity and success.
Schaff: The same apparent contradiction we find in Calvin, in Luther, and other Reformers. They cherished the deepest respect for the holy Catholic CHURCH OF CHRIST and yet felt it their duty to protest with all their might against the abuses and corruptions of the actual Church of their age, and especially against the papal hierarchy which ruled it with despotic power.

Purpose Driven to destroy the WELL-PATTERNED Churches of Christ, these men listen to one another and there is no evidence that. they are enabled to read BLACK text on BROWN Paper. 2 Corinthians 3: if they could read they would know that THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT.
1Cor. 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul;
the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
SECOND, SPIRIT translated from any language is NEVER a God nor a Person. The Candletick is the seven spirits OF God or His Mental disosition
Is. 11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,
and a Branch shall grow out of his ROOTS:
Is. 11:2 And the spirit OF the Lord shall rest ["flutter" in the water]
upon him, the SPIRIT
[1] of wisdom and
[2] understanding, the spirit of
[3] counsel and
[4] might, the spirit of
[5] knowledge and of the
[6] fear of the Lord;
Is. 11:3 And shall make him of
[17] quick understanding in the fear of the Lord:
and he shall NOT judge after the SIGHT of his eyes,
neither reprove after the HEARING of his ears:
Is. 11:4 But with righteousness shall he judge the POOR,
and reprove with equity for the MEEK of the earth:
and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the SPIRIT of his LIPS shall he slay the wicked.

Ergotism (pron. /ˈɜːrɡətˌɪzəm/ UR-gət-iz-əm) is the effect of long-term[citation needed] ergot poisoning, traditionally due to the ingestion of the alkaloids produced by the Claviceps purpurea fungus—from the Latin clava "club" or clavus "nail" and -ceps for "head", i.e. the purple club-headed fungus—that infects rye and other cereals, and more recently by the action of a number of ergoline-based drugs. It is also known as ergotoxicosis, ergot poisoning, and Saint Anthony's fire.1Cor. 1:22 For the Jews require a sign,
In the Middle Ages the gangrenous poisoning was known as "holy fire" or "Saint Anthony's fire", named after monks of the Order of St. Anthony, who were particularly successful at treating this ailment.
The convulsive symptoms from ergot-tainted rye may have been the source of accusations of bewitchment that spurred the Salem witch trials. This medical explanation for the theory of "bewitchment" was first propounded by Linnda R. Caporael

And a third kind of possession and madness comes from the Muses.
This takes hold upon a gentle and pure soul,
arouses it and inspires it to songs and other poetry,
and thus by adorning countless deeds of the ancients educates later generations.
But he who without the divine madness comes to the doors of the Muses,
confident that he will be a good poet by art, meets with no success,
and the poetry of the sane man vanishes into nothingness before that of the inspired madmen.

Walter Brueggeman at Lipscomb: Well, to make a long story short,
the authors of the Bible had their own particular godly MOTIVES
for bringing these texts before us; and
the MORAL lessons aren't always written in front of us.
Brueggemann says “those of us who think critically do not believe that the Old Testament was talking about Jesus, and yet we make the linkages. Texts traditionally understood as prophetic and messianic he generally interprets as "Christian imagination" or "rereadings": for example, the "great light" promised in 9:2 is simply "relief from oppression" not predictive.COMPARING CANE RIDGE TO PENTECOST MUST BE BEYOND REDEMPTION: CONTRARY TO ALL THEOLOGIANS, GOD IS NEITHER DUMB NOR "ESCSTATIC" according to Allen.

Many Congregations and Universities funded by Widows and hard working, honest believers, have been assaulted, tribulated and confiscated with great glee. This is founded by a tiny number of Feminists quite willing to assault God, His Spirit (is Holy), Jesus Christ and all MEN or MASCULINE in order to Get their way.
1Cor. 14:32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1Cor. 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace,
as in all churches of the saints.
THEREFORE:
1Cor. 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted unto them to speak;
but they are commanded to be under obedience,
as also saith the law.
LEARNING is the only duty of a Christian, Disciple or a STUDENT of Christ. It is God and Jesus Christ and protecting their youth that they are USURPING.
1Cor. 14:35 And if they will LEARN any thing,
let them ask [challenge] their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1Cor. 14:36 WHAT? came the word of God out from you?
or came it unto you only?
1Cor. 14:37 If any man think himself to be a PROPHET, or SPIRITUAL,
let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you
are the commandments of the Lord.
1Cor. 14:38 But if any man [WOMAN] be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

TRUE: Under the leadership of Barton Warren Stone, a Presbyterian minister at Cane Ridge, the members agreed to create their own separate church in 1804.
FALSE: This church was based solely on the Bible, without attention to religious rituals, or Calvinistic doctrine. The denomination grew and joined with a similar movement led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell in 1832.

Although union was not so easily brought about elsewhere as in Kentucky, thousands of ''Christians" did join the Reformers. After referring to the union effected by Stone in Jacksonville, M. T. Morrill, the leading historian of the Christian Connection, made the following admission:
"Then followed a wave of ' Campbellism ' that swept the Christians off their feet, and aggregated about eight thousand accessions to the Disciples. No Christian churches long survived in Tennessee, their cause was ruined in Kentucky and never has regained its former strength or prestige. Of the Southern Ohio Christians a majority of the preachers embraced Campbeism prior to 1837, and only about one thousand church members remained. A man named C. A. Eastman, traveling through Indiana about 1846, reported that, 'In many places they [the Christians] have amalgamated with the Disciples, and are known only as the same people.' Several years later it was reported that on Stone's account conferences of the Christians had been dissolved and churches disbanded, and the people had become amalgamated with the Disciples...the "Christians" existed a quarter of a century before the Reformers separated from the Baptists, but both apparently overlook the fact that in spite of this, the "Christians" now number less than 125,000, whereas the Disciples number nearly 1,500,000

A feminist author identified the "Mad Women of Corinth" These were the prophetess of Apollo or Apollon, just up the mountain from Corinth. http://www.pineycom.com/His55.html Plato Ion 534a continues to speak of the female musical worship team - the Muses: For all the good epic poets
utter all those fine poems not from art,
but as inspired and possessed, and the good lyric poets likewise;
[534a] just as... the Corybantian worshippers
do not dance when in their senses,... so the lyric poets do not INDITE those fine songs in their senses, but when they have started on the melody and rhythm they begin to be frantic, and it is under possession--as the bacchants are possessed, and not in their senses, when they draw honey and milk from the rivers--that the soul of the lyric poets does the same thing, by their own report.
For the poets tell us, I believe, that the songs they bring us are the sweets they cull from honey-dropping founts [534b] in certain gardens and glades of the Muses-- like the bees, and winging the air as these do.1 And what they tell is true.
"For a poet is a light and winged and sacred thing, and is unable ever to indite until he has been inspired and put out of his senses, and his mind is no longer in him: every man, whilst he retains possession of that, is powerless to indite a verse or chant an oracle. Seeing then that it is not by art that they compose and utter so many fine things about the deeds of men--
http://www.pineycom.com/MuIon.html Ion. That is good, Socrates; and yet I doubt whether you will ever have eloquence enough to persuade me that I praise Homer only when I am mad and possessed; and if you could hear me speak of him I am sure you would never think this to be the case.
Plato describes the insane or mad prophesying in Corinth. This involved taking off the veil, standing up and presiding over male audiences, singing, clapping, dancing or playing musical instruments. She began in mild madness, got herself all worked up and pretended to speak for the gods and this spread to the audience. A true prophet can sit down and calmly tell you what the True god wants you to know.
In like manner the Muse first of all inspires men herself;The Corybantes were priests of Cybele or Rhea, mother of Zeus and other Olympian gods, and she was worshipped with wild music and frenzied dancing which, like the bacchic revels or orgies of women in honor of Dionysus, carried away the participants despite and beyond themselves. Cf. Eurip. Bacchae.
and from these inspired persons a chain of other persons is suspended, who take the inspiration.And as the Corybantian revellers when they dance are not in their right mind,
For all good poets, epic as well as lyric, compose their beautiful poems not by art, but because they are inspired and possessed.
so the lyric poets are not in their right mind when they are composing their beautiful strains:
but when falling under the power of music and metre they are inspired and possessed;
like Bacchic maidens who draw milk and honey from the rivers
when they are under the influence of Dionysus
but not when they are in their right mind.
Written 380 B.C.E Translated by Benjamin Jowett
At the oracles this state was usually produced by external influences (see Oracula);
women were held to be particularly susceptible to them.
Oracula. The most revered oracles were those of the first class, where the divinity, almost invariably the god Apollo [Abaddon, Apollyon], orally revealed his will through the lips of inspired prophets or prophetesses. The condition of frenzy was produced, for the most part, by physical influences: Here he was purified and brought back by the same road, accompanied by a chorus of maidens singing songs of joy. The oracle proper was a cleft in the ground in the innermost sanctuary, from which arose cold vapours, which had the power of inducing ecstasy.

"The machinery of modern revivals is not divine, but human. It is certainly divisive. They are undoubtedly deceived who repose the slightest confidence in it. The spirit of the crusades is in it--the spirit of fanaticism is in it--the spirit of delusion is in it. The Spirit of God is not in it, else he was not in the Apostles; for he taught them no such schemes--no such means of catching men. This is a bait which was never put by Christ's fishermen on the evangelical hook." (Alexander Campbell, quoted by Randall, p. 373)
"But in the rage of sectarian proselytism, 'the Holy Ghost' is an admirable contrivance.

Leonard Allen presents a lot of information from many sources. The meaning of IT IS that Leonard intends to promote what might be called witchcraft as the ideal. However, Churches of Christ, then Reformed Baptist, were more rational meaning SPIRITUAL MINDED. What observers, rather than historians, saw was repudiated later by Barton W. Stone.
Many fell to their knees, crying for forgiveness. People counseled one another on spiritual matters. They sang, shouted, danced, groaned or wept uncontrollably.

The 12 spoke known language and there was no puking, barking up trees or howling while fighting for food in the garbage.

ALEXANDER CAMPBELL WITH TONGUE IN CHEEK
http://www.pineycom.com/Barton.W.Stone.Alexander.Campbell.Union.html
"it is misleading to refer to these New Light churches as predecessoors of the later Christian-Disciples movement, for in so many ways, beginning with the explosive conversions and the physical exercises and the spiritual gifts, the first New Light churches were closer to later Pentecostals than to contemporary Disciples or the Churches of Christ." (Conkin, Caneridge, p. 132)
For our part, we might be honored much by a union formal and public,
with a society so large and so respectable as the Christian denomination;
but if our union with them, though so advantageous to us,
would merge "the ancient gospel and ancient order of things"
in the long vexed question of simple anti-trinitarianism, anti-creedism, or anti-sectarianism,
I should be ashamed of myself in the presence of him whose "well done, good and faithful servant,"
is worth the universe to me.
We all could have had honorable alliances with honorable sectaries,
many years since, had this been our object.
I am, as at present advised, far from thinking that the present advocates of reformation are only pleading, or at all pleading, for what was plead in Kentucky thirty years ago, after the dissolution of the Springfield Presbytery. If such be the conceptions of brother Stone, I am greatly mistaken. T
hat he, with others, did at that time oppose authoritative creeds,
and some articles in them as terms of communion, and some other abuses,
we are not uninformed; but so did some others who set out with him.
Our eagle-eyed opponents plainly see the difference between the radical and differential attributes of this reformation, which they ignorantly call a deformation, and any other cause, however unpopular, plead in the land.
"The Christians" in some places, nay, in many places, are quite respectable in the eyes of those who contemn "the disciples" as unfit for good society. And I think the amiable editor of the Christian Messenger himself told me last winter,
Indeed, it was no mean proof of his christian spirit to see him so condescending to persons of such low degree in the estimation of the noble christians of the land. His willingness to fraternize with us in despite of the odium theologicum attached to our ancient gospel, I must ever regard as an additional proof of his unfeigned regard to the authority of Jesus as Lord, and his love to all them who esteem the reproach of the Messiah greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt
that even he and some of his brethren were considered by the orthodox as degrading themselves because they associated with us most "unworthy disciples?'
THE CHURCH WAS ESTABLISHED AT ONE POINT IN TIME. No one can BEGIN such a DEFINED PATTERN or a Sect that is called Heresy: narrow and find it.
Matt. 16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matt. 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matt. 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.
Matt. 16:18 And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matt. 16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.Answered by Fire: The Cane Ridge Revival Reconsidered has been a heavily anticipated book following the Carroll Ellis Symposium in August 2019. At the symposium, four scholars —Richard Hughes, James Gorman, John Mark Hicks, and Allen—joined together to discuss and present research on the Restoration Movement.
The book was formed out of the symposium’s presentations. Besides editing the volume, Allen authored two of the chapters which were originally his speeches.
The Restoration Movement, dated in the early 19th century has been crucial in identifying the origins of the modern-day Church of Christ. One of the most notable events of the movement, the Cane Ridge Revival, is the main component of the recently released book.
http://www.pineycom.com/Thomas.Campbell.Prospectus.Religious.Reformation.html
Upon the whole, these things being so, it necessarily follows, that christianity, being a divine institution, there can be nothing human in it; consequently it has nothing to do with the doctrines and commandments of men; but simply and solely with the belief and obedience of the expressly recorded testimony and will of God, contained in the Holy Scriptures, and enjoined by the authority of the Saviour and his holy Apostles upon the christian community. [5]......
Seeing the pernicious nature, and anti-scriptural effects of the present corruptions of christianity, both upon professors, and non-professors, in producing alienations amongst the former, in direct opposition to the law of Christ;--and in casting almost insuperable obstacles in the way of the conversion of the latter;--the serious and upright, of all parties, must feel conscientiously bound to endeavor, to the utmost of their power, to effect a genuine and radical reformation; which, we presume, can only be effected by a sincere conformity to the original exhibition of our holy religion, the divinely authorized rule and standard of faith and practice. To such, therefore, we appeal; and for the consideration of such alone, we have respectfully submitted the above queries.
Leonard Allen: The Cane Ridge Revival aimed to unify a long network of churches in the rural region of Kentucky during a six-day event filled with SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES. Thousands of people, regardless of denomination differences, were joined together during their “search for renewal.”
The name of the book comes from an analysis of the revival from the presiding Presbyterian pastor, Barton Warren Stone. He explained that God answered their prayers for revival “by fire.” Many were converted, and due to the experience many congregations with similar missions were formed.
This revival is responsible for many roots of the Churches of Christ we see today, Allen said.
THAT IS FALSE: CHURCHES OF CHRIST RIDICULED THE MANIC OUTRAGES ON A SUPERSTITIOUS AND PERHAPS
This topic aligns very closely with Allen’s personal research interests. “I’ve been studying the history and theology of Churches of Christ for 40 years, and have published many books and articles in this area,” explained Allen.

Speaking in tongues took two forms. First, the prophetesses at, say, the Oracle of Delphi dedicated to Apollo (Abaddon, Apollyon) would get zapped out of her mind sniffing burning poppy seed, hallucinating drugs and chewing laurel leaves which make my deer foam at the mouth and go crazy. All pagans believed that emotionally and sexually confused people in their insanity were inspired by the gods (demons). Philo coined the word enthusiasm or Enthus O Mania meaning out of your mind or possessed by the demons. This was an almost exclusive female ability to "prophesy" and sell it at a price too high.

Second, of the 75 the languages the Greeks recognized, there were 5 languages or major dialects. All of the barbarian languages were called tongues. There is no such thing as "unknown tongues" spoken of by Paul. Paul excluded the gibberish form of uncovered prophesying in 1 Cor 11:5 and highly regulated the use of tongues other than the common one understood by a church. Paul did not speak gibberish but as a gifted Apostle he spoke more "languages" or the lesser tongues where he had to preach.
As Catholics claimed that Latin was the power or magical language of liturgy, the Corinthians believed that a prayer or song in some barbarian tongue had angelic power even if the speaker did not know the language. By analogy, a priest may not know much Latin but enough to speak the magic. The Yezdis of iraq were devil worshipers who spoke their magic in a language the did not understand. Paul said that you might find a time to use that language but NOT IN CHURCH. Paul spoke many minor dialects

Ephraim Syrus On Our Lord notes that Sinai was a test.
18. But when their heathenism from being inward became open, then Moses also from being hidden openly appeared; that he might openly punish those whose heathenism had revelled beneath the holy cloud which had overshadowed them.But God removed the Shepherd of the flock from it for FORTY DAYS, that the flock might show that its trust was fixed upon the calf.[instrumental idolatry of the Egyptian Trinity]
While God was feeding the flock with all delights, it chose for itself as its Shepherd the calf, which was not able even to eat. Moses who kept them in AWE was removed from them, that the idolatry might cry aloud in their mouths, which the restraint of Moses had kept down in their hearts. For they cried: Make us gods, to go before us
What They Did. 19. But when Moses came down, he saw their heathenism revelling in the wide plain with drums and cymbals. Speedily, he put their madness to shame by means of the Levites and drawn swords. So likewise here, our Lord concealed His knowledge for a little when the sinful woman approached Him, that the Pharisee might form into shape his thought, as his fathers had shaped the pernicious calf.
At Mount Sinai without Redemption because the people refused to listen to the Covenant in Exodus 31 which outlawed vocal or instrumental rejoicing.

There is nothing in the first outpouring of KNOWLEDGE from the Prophets or Apostles which authorized anything by command and example but PREACHING the WORD by READING the Word for comfort and knowledge. The LOGOS is antithetical to Hermes, Mercury or Kairos and is opposite of Rhetoric, personal comments, singing, playing instruments or acting, dancing, shouting, hugging or kissing.

When people want to impose more giving and more programs and an INCLUSIVE mantra they do NOT mean to include those who do not engage in the Mind-Altering or Cult-Like REprogramming.
While people lie about the sectaranizing of Churches of Christ over some things not connected with being a SCHOOL OF THE WORD, it is a fact that there are still about 146 Baptists Denominations which do not fellowship one another."It encouraged people to devote their practical, daily exertions to loving God and serving their neighbors.
A new desire to see the churches purified of all but the elect
was an ecclesiastical reflection of this more intense piety.Led by Edwards, many Congregational and Presbyterian churches repudiated the Half-Way Covenant. The fellowship of the faithful on earth, so this reasoning ran, should reflect the purity of God's grace as closely as possible.
"In fact, the Great Awakening did nearly as much to promote controversy (sectarianism) as it did to stimulate revival. In the middle colonies, Presbyterians divided over the revival and its effects....
Its immediate impact was to divide the Puritan churches into four more or less distinct groups. Historian C. C. Goen has painstakingly identified 321 separations of one kind or another by these New Lights.... The Baptists were the greatest benificiaries of the Great Awakening."Eerdmans' Handbook to Christianity in America, p. 115-115)
"it is misleading to refer to these New Light churches as predecessoors of the later Christian-Disciples movement, for in so many ways, beginning with the explosive conversions and the physical exercises and the spiritual gifts,
the first New Light churches were closer to later Pentecostals than to contemporary Disciples or the Churches of Christ." (Conkin, Caneridge, p. 132)
MUSICAL RELIGIOUS OBSERVATIONS (to which the kingdom does not come) BEGAN WHILE (SOME) WERE STILL IN THE TREES.
The prophet or priests used musical devices to convince the simpleton that, like the old empty wineskin of the witch of Endor was the voice of a god granting their wish. Music was always to BOND the tribe to the Alpha Male or increasingly. Alpha Female.
Paul warned about the MAD Women of Corinth that the assembly commanded to be a Word of God only assembly would look like any pagan "worship center" which performed musical rituals to enable the fleecing of the males who used their services and used up all of their food money before they could get out of town." Because Jesus said that the kingdom does not come with observation including Religious Observations then and now the world saw it as a produce of females or effeminate males. Spiritual Formation, Centering Prayers or Ignatian Retreats or extended periods of purpose driven prayer was the claim that a spirit "people" would speak to them and affirm their driven purpose. To mark for identification such institutions Jesus paid it all and Paul denied that giving your money even to the destitute was a COMMAND."... the primary effect of music is to give the listener a feeling of security, for it symbolizes the place where he was born, his earliest childhood satisfaction, and his work; any or all of these personality shaping experiences.
As soon as the familiar sound pattern is established, he is prepared to laugh, to weep, to dance, to fight, to worship, etc...
Apparently the character and the variety of the music matters less than its conformity to tradition, which produces a sensation of security. The work of composers in the folk world is, so far as I have observed, limited by this stylistic security-bringing framework." (Goldschmidt, Walter, Exploring the Ways of Mankind, p. 609, Holt, Rinehart and Winston)
"The development both of religion and of the arts can be traced back in a continuous line to the hunting era. The group ritual of the primeval tribesmen were the origin not only of all religious ceremonial, but also of the drama and of poetry and music, while magic gave birth to the visual arts." (Parkes, Henry Bamford, On Gods and Men, p. 30).
"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.
mantikē, sc. tekhnē). (mantikê, sc. technê). The name given by the Greeks to the gift or art of divination. The belief of the ancients that it was possible to find out what was hidden or what was going to happen sprang from the idea that the gods, when implored by prayer, or even when unimplored, graciously communicated revelations to men by means of direct inspiration or through signs requiring interpretation.The power of more or less clearly seeing in waking hours things concealed from ordinary vision was believed by the Greeks to be a special gift of Apollo. It is from him that Homer makes Calchas receive his revelations, although no mention is made of his being in the ecstatic state usually connected with this kind of soothsaying [Miriam and the Levites].
At the oracles this state was usually produced by external influences (see Oracula);
women were held to be particularly susceptible to them.
Paul commanded that the women be silent because "there is ONE GOD and one Mediator between man and God, the MAN Jesus Christ."
Besides oracles and persons reputed to be inspired, use [p. 1003] was made of various collections of older oracular sayings [song books] and pretended predictions of prophets and prophetesses of former times, such as the Branchidae of Miletus, the Iamidae of Olympia, the Eumolpidae of Athens, and the Sibyls. Such collections were not only in the possession of States and priesthoods, but also in that of private individuals, called chrêsmologoi, who drew on their store when paid to do so by those who believed in them, and often also explained the dark sayings. Like the prophets by immediate inspiration, those also were called seers who interpreted according to certain rules the divine signs which formed the subject of the artificial variety of the art of divination.
Oracula. The most revered oracles were those of the first class, where the divinity, almost invariably the god Apollo [Abaddon, Apollyon], orally revealed his will through the lips of inspired prophets or prophetesses. The condition of frenzy was produced, for the most part, by physical influences:APOLLO IS ABADDON OR APOLLYON THE "SPIRIT" OF THE MUSICAL WORSHIP GROUPS
Here he was purified and brought back by the same road, accompanied by a chorus of maidens singing songs of joy. The oracle proper was a cleft in the ground in the innermost sanctuary, from which arose cold vapours, which had the power of inducing ecstasy.

After the world was purified by water--
"men turned again to impiety; and on this account a law was given by God to instruct them in the manner of living. But in the process of time, the worship of God and righteousness were corrupted by the unbelieving and the wicked, as we shall show more fully by and by.
"Moreover, perverse and erratic religions were introduced, to which the greater part of men gave themselves up, by occasion of holidays and solemnities, instituting drinking and banquets, following pipes, and flutes, and harps, and diverse kinds of musical instruments, and indulging themselves in all kinds of drunkenness and luxury. Hence every kind of error took rise; hence they invented groves and altars, fillets and victims, and after drunkenness they were agitated as if with mad emotions. By this means power was given to the demons to enter into minds of this sort, so that they seemed to lead insane dances and to rave like Bacchanalians; hence were invented the gnashing of teeth, and bellowing from the depth of their bowels; hence a terrible countenance and a fierce aspect in men, so that he whom drunkenness had subverted and a demon had instigated, was believed by the erring to be filled with the Deity." (Recognitions of Clement, Book IV, Chapt XIII, Ante Nicene Fathers, Vol 8, p. 137)
It seems clear that the small revival which produced great excitement attracted the masses with no better entertainment than a religious revival. We have experienced it in our own lives. Many creatures great and small were attracted like moths to a flame and many got burned. The spirit of celebration and entertainment produced the great crowds and the preachers who had become men of note literally sold their bodies to create the charismatic breakdown which, if personality driven, is sexual.
"Oh men without understanding! Judge ye rightly of what is said. For if it were necessary to give one's self to some pleasure for the refreshment of the body, whether were it better to do so among the rivers and woods and groves,
where there are entertainments and convivialities and shady places,
or where there is the maddness of demons, and cuttings of hands,
and emasculations, and fury and mania, and dishevelling of hair,and shoutings and enthusiasms and howlings, and all those thing which are done with hyprocrisy for the counfounding of the unthinking, when you offer your prescribed prayers, and thanksgivings even to those who are deader than the dead?" (The Clemetine Homilies, Homily XI, Chapt XIV, Ante Nicene Fathers, Vol 8, p. 287).
Earlier, In Salem, dominant males such as Parrish needed a supernatural show to prove his superiority over the other local preachers. As a result, "witches" were murdered.
Jonathan Edwards Revival 1740-1742
In Boston, Anne Hutchinson, formulated a new set of 81 "laws" which denied the value of the Bible, demanded a witness of the Spirit to prove conversion, one "assured" could not be lost for any reason, and "the whole letter of the Scripture is a covenant of works." See Trial of Anne Hutchinson
Increase Mather listed the signs of demon possession (or epilepsy) and listed speaking in tongues, speaking without use of the mouth (Stone was impressed with this), and "bodily exercises." "Witches" were hanged and pressed to death for causing the "exercises" and Robert Calef blamed the clergy for "laying aside the Sword" of God and repeating what happened when Samson, the blind, was forced to participate in worship much like what was happening in Salem.

"We have seen that enthusiasm and fanaticism, in their wildest shapes, have attended them--that jealousy, envy, hatred, evil surmisings, bitter revilings, heart-burnings, unholy schism and strifes, have followed close in their train--that spiritual pride, censoriousness, a Pharisaic disposition, and a spirit that trusts too much in suggestions, impulses, and consequently, that underrates the word of God, is always associated with them." (Stone Biography, p. 384).
Kenneth Latourette notes that:
"Divisions in the churches accompanied and followed the Great Awakening. The more ardent preachers of the revival had sharp words for those ministers whom they deemed unconverted. Whitefield occasionally spoke caustically of those who did not follow him. Others were even more vehement. On the other side were many, both clergy and laity, who were alienated by the emotional excesses, were angered by the denunciations of the more ardent itinerant preachers... 'New lights' 'Old lights' in Presbyterian and Congregational churches often separated into distinct units." (Latourette, p. 960).
"While there were examples of church groups which increased in numbers and strength as a result of the appearance of glossolalia, more usually friction and divisive factions developed. In extreme examples, up to one-third of the congregation stopped going to church and/or dropped their formal membership." (John P. Kildahl , p. 66 The Psychology of Speaking in Tongues, Harper and Row).
Churches of Christ were never part of what was called witchcraft in earlier ages.
"The Baptists had a peculiar appeal to the masses. Their preachers, usually with very slight education, knew their audiences and how to address them in language (with a musical cadence) which would hold their attention and bring conviction. They tended to be highly emotional." (Kenneth, Latourette, p. 1037).
"For the desire of the teacher for power, combining with the desire of the taught for certainty, must tend always to efforts at making the sign, which is to secure both, still more awful and convincing, by still greater and more awful attestations. A fresh miracle must be provided to silence each fresh heresy, a new prodigy to confirm each new dogma." (j. Hastings, The Greater Texts of the Bible, 1 Cor., p. 7).
"The camp meeting was well introduced by the beginning of the next century. Excitement was intense. This was largely the result of impassioned preaching, earnest exhortation, loud prayers, and energetic singing. Bodily exercises, as dropping, jerking, and barking, often manifested themselves, but since they too often brought disrepute upon religion, they were frequently condemned by the better educated of all denominations." (Jenning, Walter W., Origin and Early History of the Disciples of Christ, p. 28, Standard).
From Small Cells to Large Groups
At caneridge: "They were commonly collected in small circles of ten or twelve, close adjoining another circle, and all engaged in singing... hymns; and then a minister steps upon a stump or log and begins an exhortation or sermon..."
"On Sabbath night, I saw above 100 persons at once on the ground crying for mercy of all ages from 8 to 60 years... The whole number brought to the ground under convictions about one thousand, not less."
"When a person is struck down he is carried by others out of the congregation, when some minister converses with and prays with him, afterwards a few gather around and sing a Hymn suitable to his case." (Jenning, Walter W., Origin and Early History of the Disciples of Christ, p. 29, Standard).
"The new, self-consciously wrought revivals took several forms. They first emerged at the turn of the eighteenth century with the invention of the camp meeting in western Virginia and North Carolina and on the Kentucky and Ohio frontier by Presbyterians, Methodists, and Baptists. At these meetings, the most famous (or notorious) of which took place at caneridge, Kentucky in 1801, hundreds and sometimes thousands of people would gather from miles around in a wilderness encampment for four days to a week. There they engaged in an unrelenting series of intense spiritual exercises, punctuated with cries of religious,
all designed to promote religious fervor and conversions.
These exercises ranged from the singing of hymns addressed to each of the spiritual stages that marked the journey to conversion, public confessions and renunciations of sin and personal witness to the workings of the spirit, collective prayer, all of which were surrounded by sermons delivered by clergymen especially noted for their powerful "plain-speaking" preaching.
The second, major variant of the new revivalism consisted of the "protracted meetings" most often associated with the "new measures" revivalism of Finney but which by the late l820s had become the characteristic form of most northern and western revivalism. "Protracted meetings," ordinarily conducted once a year at a time when they would be less disruptive of ordinary life, usually lasted two to three weeks, during which time there would be preaching two or three times each day, addressed especially to the anxious penitents who would gather on an "anxious bench" at the front of the church to be prayed for by the congregation, and prayer and counseling visits by newly converted Christians to the concerned and anxious. Once a person had gone through the experience of conversion and rebirth, he or she would join the ranks of visitors and exhorters, themselves becoming evangelists for the still unconverted around them.

"As the revival interest grew, and as the meeting became larger and longer, unexpected and bizarre manifestations, called 'exercises,' began to occur. They were considered visible manifestations of the direct action of the Holy Spirit... The commonest were the 'falling exercise' and the 'jerks.' The names are sufficiently explanatory. The barking exercise sometimes accompanied the jerks, and the dancing exercise grew out of them. There was also the running exercise. It was reported that those who came to scoff were not immune to these seizures. However, it was only the devout who ever experienced the laughing exercise." (Winfred E. Garrison and Alfred T. DeGroot, The Disciples of Christ, St. Louis: The Bethany Press, 1948, p. 99).
The Stoneites were in sympathy with the Shouting Methodists.
Elsewhere in Kentucky--
"Hundreds fell to the ground senseless, the most elegantly dressed women in Kentucky lying in the mud alongside rugged trappers. Some were seized with the 'jerks,' their heads and limbs snapping back and forth and their bodies grotesquely distorted. Those who caught the 'barks' would crawl on all fours, growling and snapping like the camp dogs, fighting over garbage heaped behind tents... One preacher wrote to another: 'thousands of tongues with the sound of hallelujah seemed to run through infinite space; while hundreds of people lay prostrate on the ground crying for mercy. Oh! My dear brother, had you been there to have seen the convulsed limbs, the apparently lifeless bodies, you have been constrained to cry out as I was obliged to do, the gods are among the people." (Fawn M. Brodie, No Man Knows My History (New York: A.A. Knopf, 1945), p. 14).
Barton W. Stone--Praised only the Initial Unity at Cane Ridge
"He speaks of... falling, rolling, jerking, barking, growling, snapping the teeth, foaming, rushing out on all-fours, roaming round, personating dogs--shouting, screaming, shrieking, groaning, singing, clapping of hands, praying, preaching, jumping, dancing, &c...." (However, this was a false accusation against STONE and Rogers wrote)--
"And that as a matter of course, if Mr. Stone's peculiar views gave rise to such fearful extravagancies, his reformation is little worth." (Stone Biography, p. 402)
"That there were many eccentricities, and much fanaticism in this excitement, was acknowledge by its warmest advocates; indeed it would have been a wonder, if such things had not appeared, in the circumstances of that time. Yet the good effects were that... 'it silenced contention and promoted unity for a while; and these blessed effects (unity--not exercises) would have continued--but, but, but." (Biography, p. 42).
"At first, they were pleased to see the Methodists and Baptists so cordially uniting with us in worship, no doubt, hoping that they would become Presbyterians.
But as soon as they saw these sects drawing away disciples after them, they raised the alarm..."
"The gauntlet was now thrown, and a fire was now kindled that threatened ruin to the great excitement (unity not exercises); it revived the dying spirit of partyism, and gave life and strength to the trembling infidels and lifeless professors. The sects were roused. The Methodists and Baptists, who had so long lived in peace and harmony with the Presbyterians, and with one another, now girded on their armor, and marched into the deathly field of controversy and war.
These were times of distress.
"The spirit of partyism soon expelled the spirit of love and union--peace fled before discord and strife, and religion was stifled and banished in the unhallowed struggles for pre-eminence. Who shall be the greatest, seemed to be the spirit of the contest--the salvation of a ruined world was no longer the burden... peace was drowned by the din of war." (Stone Autobiography, 45-46)
"We have seen this state of things continue but a short time, and then disappear for years. We have seen many of these converts soon dwindle, sicken and die, and become more hardened against the fear of God, than they were before--many of them becoming infidels, by thinking that all professors of religion are like themselves deluded by strong passion and imagination."... All must acknowledge that some good results from such revivals; but all must acknowledge that great evil also rose out of them. Those, who were under strong affections, believed they were born of God, and who made a public confession of faith, and fell from it, are of all people in the most pitiable situation, seldom do they ever after embrace religion--these by their example, discourage others, and fill their minds with prejudices against religion." (Stone, Barton Warren, The Christian Messenger, Vol. VII, No. 7, July, 1833, pages 210-212--See Randall p. 390, for the complete letter).
"I admit that some enthusiasm and even fanaticism did prevail. But as respects that, brother Stone was clear. He was faithful, zealous, and spiritual; yet sober and temperate, holding fast the faithful word. Some talked of extraordinary views and spiritual illuminations. I mentioned that matter to Stone--
"He replied--'I cannot rely on any teaching from God, otherwise than through his word.'" (Biography, p. 122).
"... need we wonder at the exhibition of this spirit in the wildest forms of fanaticism among the more ignorant on camp-meeting occasions and others, where such spirit is encouraged and sought after?"
"In view then of the fanatical, bitter, and censorious spirit which associates itself with these bodily agitations, and is highly promotive of them, the writer is decidedly opposed to them." (Rogers, Stone Biography, p. 383).
The End of the Stone Restoration Movement in The South
"No Christian churches long survived in Tennessee, their cause was ruined in Kentucky and never has regained its former strength or prestige... Of the Southern Ohio Christians a majority of the preachers embraced Campbellism prior to 1837, and only about one thousand church members remained." (Jenning, Walter W., Origin and Early History of the Disciples of Christ, p. 197, Standard).
Alexander Campbell--and All Restoration Movement Churches
"The machinery of modern revivals is not divine, but human. It is certainly divisive. They are undoubtedly deceived who repose the slightest confidence in it. The spirit of the crusades is in it--the spirit of fanaticism is in it--the spirit of delusion is in it. The Spirit of God is not in it, else he was not in the Apostles; for he taught them no such schemes--no such means of catching men. This is a bait which was never put by Christ's fishermen on the evangelical hook." (Alexander Campbell, quoted by Randall, p. 373)
"But in the rage of sectarian proselytism, 'the Holy Ghost' is an admirable contrivance. Every qualm of conscience, every new motion of the heart, every strange feelings or thrill--all doubts, fears, despondencies, horrors, remorse, etc., are the work of this Holy Ghost. " (Millennial Harbinger 1831:212).
"Simply that it was a peculiar form of nervous disease, that was both epidemic and contagious... No new truths were communicated,--no old errors corrected--nor miraculous utterances given; but simply an excitement, despondent or hopeful, gloomy or joyful, clear or confused, according to the convictions of the mind at the time of the attack and influence of circumstances during its continuance." (Pendelton quoted by Randall, p. 373).
Looking backward through one's own head makes Cane Ridge into a holy place or a place of horror and lostness in the wilderness where Indians lurked, beverage sellers sold and prostitutes plied their trade certainly in later imitation. This led to the demise of such revivals.
"They (disorders) cannot come from God, for he is not the author of confusion. The apology made in Corinth for the disorders, which Paul condemned, was precisely the same as that urged in defense of these bodily agitations. We ought not to resist the spirit of God, said the Corinthians; and so said all those who encouraged these convulsions. Paul's answer is that no influence comes from God which destroys our self-control. 'The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.'
"The prophets of God were not like the raving Pythoness of heathen temples,
nor are the saints of God converted into whirling dervishes by an influence which is the author.There can be little doubt that Paul would have severely reprobated such scenes as frequently occurred during the revival of which we are speaking.
"He would have said to the people substantially what he said to the Corinthians. If any unbeliever or ignorant man come to your assemblies and hears one shouting in ecstasy, and another howling in anguish; if he sees some falling, some jumping, some lying in convulsions, others in trances, will he not say ye are mad?" (Hodge, History Presbyterian Church quoted in Barton W. Stones' Biography, p. 368, 369)
"A high form of mystical ecstasy flourished mainly at two periods, in the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries, in both cases near the close of great intellectual and spiritual awakenings. In cruder forms it has had a continuous history among the lower and less cultured strata of the population. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries the Dancers of Chorizates created much excitement in Germany. These wild enthusiasts numbering thousands of the poor and ignorant of both sexes, danced madly in thee churches and streets for hours at a time, frequently until they fell exhausted. They saw fantastic visions, leaped high in the air to get out of the flood of blood in which they imagined themselves to be wading, and indulged in many other marvelous exercises, wholly oblivious of the throngs of amazed spectators. Gifts were showered upon them, attracting many rascally imitators and thus offering a breeding ground for shocking immoralities." (Clark, Elmer T., The Small Sects in America, p. 87, Abingdon)
"To some extent they were contrived, both by those who exhorted and by those who listened and responded. Certain techniques, which ministers conscientiously learned, helped push audiences toward an ecstatic frenzy. Certain hymns, certain tunes worked better than others. Certain repeated and familiar verbal images, those with great resonance for an audience, worked better than others. In many of the greatest revivals the spark was a type of confession--the telling of what had happened to oneself there or at an earlier revival. Some ministers learned the most evocative ways of telling their stories. Several sermonic devices--timing, phrasing, pauses, and above all the display of intense feeling--worked." (Conkin, Paul, Cane Ridge America's Pentecost, p. 106, U of Wis.)
THE ONE-PIECE PATTERN TABLE BELOW
Thomas Campbell defined:
CHURCH: is A School of Christ
WORSHIP: is Reading and Musing the WORD
synagogue, also spelled synagog, in Judaism, a community house of worship that serves as a place not only for liturgical services but also for assembly and study. Its traditional functions are reflected in three Hebrew synonyms for synagogue: bet ha-tefilla (“house of prayer”), bet ha-kneset (“house of assembly”), and bet ha-midrash (“house of study”). The term synagogue is of Greek origin (synagein, “to bring together”) and means “a place of assembly.” The Yiddish word shul (from German Schule, “school”) is also used to refer to the synagogue, and in modern times the word temple is common among some Reform and Conservative congregations.
THE PATTERN FOR THE SYNAGOGUE-CHURCH IN THE WILDERNESS FOR GODLY PEOPLE AFTER THE LEADERS FELL INTO INSTRUMENTAL-TRINITARIAN-PERVERTEDO IDOLATRY.
Acts 15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
THE PATTERN OF JESUS.
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up:
and, as his custom was, [PATTERN]
he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, [ONCE EACH WEEK]

THE PATTERN OF PAUL.
Acts 13:15 And after the READING of the law and the prophets
the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them,
saying, Ye men and brethren,
if ye have any word of exhortation [comfort] for the people,
SAY on.
NEVER "sing" or "preach" beyond translating or comments ON THE READ SCRIPTURES.
THE PROPHECY- PATTERN FOR THE "LEADERS" THEN AND NOW.

because they knew him not,
nor yet the VOICES of the PROPHETS
which are READ every sabbath day,
they have fulfilled them in condemning himTHE DIRECT COMMAND AND EXAMPLE TO BE A CHRISTIAN
God sent Apostles and SCRIBES to record ALL that one needs to know in order to keep peace and Educate: that is the inclusive-exclusive PATTERN.
Eph. 2:16 And that he might RECONCILE both unto God
in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Eph. 2:17 And came and preached PEACE to you which were afar off,
and to them that were nigh.
Eph. 2:18 For through him we both have access
by one Spirit unto the Father.
Eph. 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph. 2:20 And are built upon [EDUCATED IN THE EKKLESIA]
the foundation of the apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ himself being the chief [only Rabbi when we READ]
corner stone; [Angelus: isolated, silent and secret]
Eph. 2:22 In whom ye also are builded together
for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
IF a man love me, he will KEEP MY WORDS:
and my Father will love him,
and WE will come unto him, and make our abode with him
John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
IF ye continue in MY WORD
THEN are ye my disciples indeed
The Father Breathes {spirit} into the SON. SPIRIT is always seen as God puts His WORDS into the MOUTH of the SON.
John 6:63 It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing:
the WORDS that I speak unto you,
[Jesus is Masculine and ADULT: He does not SING]
they are SPIRIT, and they are life
THE PATTERN OF JUSTIN MARTYR AND OTHERS ON WEEKLY WORSHIP.
Justin Martyr Chapter LXVII.-Weekly Worship of the Christians.
"And we afterwards continually remind each other of these things. And the wealthy among us help the needy; and we always keep together; and for all things wherewith we are supplied, we bless the Maker of all through His Son Jesus Christ, and through the Holy Ghost.
JUSTIN: And on the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together to one place,
and the memoirs of the APOSTLES or the writings of PROPHETS the are READ, as long as time permits;
then, when the reader has ceased,
the president verbally instructs,
and EXHORTS to the imitation of these good things.

In every city them that PREACH him,
being READ in the synagogues every sabbath day.
SABBATH MEANS REST: QUARANTINED FROM JERUSALEM

because they knew him not,
nor yet the VOICES of the PROPHETS
which are READ every sabbath day,
they have fulfilled them in condemning him
