The Agora or Marketplace worship: They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not pd; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. Luke 7:32The Agora
Jesus spoke in PARABLES to hide the truth from people who reject the word but make a profession of pretending. A few men have has the not-too-secret agenda of diverting non-instrumental churches of Christ into a musical and theatrical Agora or marketplace religion. John identified this as the MARK of the Mother of harlots in Revelation 17 and identified the singers, musicians and all of the other religious operatives as being SORCERERS who HAD deceived the whole World. The Book of Enoch POINTED TO by Jude identifies those agents of Lucifer or Satan or Apollyon in John's coded message as those FOR WHOM a burning hell was uniquely prepared.

Let the chorus sustain the part and manly character of an actor: nor let them sing any thing between the acts which is not conducive to, and fitly coherent with, the main design. Let them both patronize the good, and give them friendly advice, and regulate the passionate, and love to appease thou who swell [with rage]:
The flute (not as now, begirt with brass and emulous of the trumpet, but) slender and of simple form, with few stops, was of service to accompany and assist the chorus, and with its tone was sufficient to fill the rows that were not as yet too crowded, where an audience, easily numbered, as being small and sober, chaste and modest, met together. But when the victorious Romans began to extend their territories, and an ampler wall encompassed the city, and their genius was indulged on festivals by drinking wine in the day-time without censure; a greater freedom arose both to the numbers [of poetry], and the measure [of music].
For what taste could an unlettered clown and one just dismissed from labors have,
when in company with the polite;
the base,
with the man of honor?
Thus the musician added new movements and a luxuriance to the ancient art, and strutting backward and forward, drew a length of train over the stage; thus likewise new notes were added to the severity of the lyre, and precipitate eloquence produced an unusual language [in the theater]: and the sentiments [of the chorus, then] expert in teaching useful things and prescient of futurity, differ hardly from the oracular Delphi.Delphis , Delphis, a priestess of the Delphic Apollo,See this See Strabo and the Musical Vile pervert connection

Paul says that this was a sexual seduction and we know that the "serpent" was the Musical Enchanter well known throughout that world. The MARK of God repaying His enemies and BEATING them into Hell (already) is the sound of the wind, string and percussion instruments Lucifer brought into the garden.
JESUS IDENTIFIED AND CONDEMNED MARKETPLACE OR AGORA WORSHIP AND A FEW TROUBLERS IN ZION ARE DRIVEN BY SOME FORCE TO TURN EKKLESIA INTO THE AGORA. This is the DIRECT EMERGING church identified by John in Revelation as the Mother of Harlots or feminist (effeminite) rise of GODDESS WORSHIP and the rhetoricians, singers, musicians and craftsmen who are defined in the AGORA as "theater builders and stage managers" whom John called SORCERERS. By pointing to Isaiah and Ezekiel Jesus identified the HYPOCRITIC SECTARIANS specificially as speakers, singers and instrument players: they didn't intend to teach the truth but just "pass the plate" and the audience just intended to be entertained in a sexual way. Pharisees "change the laws" and PERFORM in order to fleece the widows and the SCRIBES write the new "laws" and the songs and sermons.
For the EKKLESIA or SYNAGOGUE or school of the Bible (no more--no less) by identifying his TARGET as wicked men of no faith. However, they plagued all of the new churches wanting to be paid to be their pagan-like priest. If the elders are incompetent as pastor-teachers, and because churchmen have always been of the "nobility" exercising civic power and pride, and need to hire a Pastor-Teacher, he is STILL under the absolute LAW to "teach that which has been taught" and to be "an example for other to follow." What will all the little lambs do when they discover that the SHEPHERDS have fulfilled Acts 20 and become WOLVES which is NOT a pretty word.SCENE: The Athenian Ecclesia on the Pnyx; afterwards Dicaeopolis' house in the country.

What cares have not gnawed at my heart and how few have been the pleasures in my life! Four, to be exact, while my troubles have been as countless as the grains of sand on the shore! Let me see! of what value to me have been these few pleasures? Ah! I remember that I was delighted in soul when Cleon had to disgorge those five talents; I was in ecstasy and I love the Knights for this deed; 'it is an honour to Greece.' But the day when I was impatiently awaiting a piece by Aeschylus, what tragic despair it caused me when the herald called,"Theognis, introduce your Chorus!" Just imagine how this blow struck straight at my heart! On the other hand, what joy Dexitheus caused me at the musical competition, when he played a Boeotian melody on the lyre! But this year by contrast! Oh! what deadly torture to hear Chaeris perform the prelude in the Orthian mode! --Never, however, since I began to bathe, has the dust hurt my eyes as it does to-day.
Still it is the day of assembly; all should be here at daybreak, and yet the Pnyx is still deserted. They are gossiping in the marketplace, slipping hither and thither to avoid the vermilioned rope. The Prytanes even do not come; they will be late, but when they come they will push and fight each other for a seat in the front row. They will never trouble themselves with the question of peace. Oh! Athens! Athens! As for myself, I do not fail to come here before all the rest, and now, finding myself alone, I groan, yawn, stretch, break wind, and know not what to do; I make sketches in the dust, pull out my loose hairs, muse, think of my fields, long for peace, curse town life and regret my dear country home, which never told me to 'buy fuel, vinegar or oil'; there the word 'buy,' which cuts me in two, was unknown; I harvested everything at will. Therefore I have come to the assembly fully prepared to bawl, interrupt and abuse the speakers, if they talk of anything but peace. But here come the Prytanes, and high time too, for it is midday! As I foretold, hah! is it not so? They are pushing and fighting for the front seats.

Oh, Phales, [1 The god of generation, worshipped in the form of a phallus] companion of the orgies of Bacchus, night reveller, god of adultery, friend of young men, these past six years I have not been able to invoke thee.
Far from it, you would at once have sent three hundred vessels to sea, and what an uproar there would have been through all the city! there 'tis a band of noisy soldiery, here a brawl about the election of a Trierarch;
elsewhere pay is being distributed, the Pallas figure-heads are being regilded, crowds are surging under the market porticos, encumbered with wheat that is being measured, wine-skins, oar-leathers, garlic, olives, onions in nets;
everywhere are chaplets, sprats, flute-girls, black eyes; in the arsenal bolts are being noisily driven home, sweeps are being made and fitted with leathers;
we hear nothing but the sound of whistles, of flutes and fifes to encourage the work-folk. That is what you assuredly would have done, and would not Telephus have done the same? So I come to my general conclusion; we have no common sense.
Jesus speaking of the Market-place and casting out the musical minstrels LIKE DUNG drew a "BLOOD RED ROPE" between the Agora or market-place and the ekklesia. This DIRECTLY OUTLAWED musical performers pretending to dramatize religious rituals.
Apollo or the Apollyon of Revelation was the GOD OF THE AGORA and the MUSES or musical worship team known as adulterers were his TEAM. That proves that Satan is the "god" of the marketplace and the MARK is the musicians and singers performing as SORCERERS in Revelation 18.
The Agora was the place where men PREACHED FOR PAY, and as rhetoricians it didn't matter whether it was the truth or not. This defines all churches ENABLED to become mega-churches.
The first meaning of PSALLO which is ALWAYS lied about because Apollo was the father of the twanging bow to send forth singing arrows, musical harmony, thieves and liars. NOT such a good foundation to put your OWN money into because if the old "investors" were fleeced the NEW group will be fleeced. Just like Jim Bakker!
The SECOND meaning of PSALLO spoke of the blood-red painted ROPE which forced the people from the Marketplace where Jesus placed the perverted musicians whose New Wineskin god was Dionysus and forced themINTO the ekklesia which was, like the synagogue, for EDUCATION ONLY. The ekklesia was the place where regular people could speak and dialor (Romans 15) and ACTORS were generallly confined to the AGORA or marketplace along with the sellers of young boys as "chorus leaders" and sellers of songs, poems, speeches and radishes.
Making ekklesia into a WORSHIP CENTER is the BOAST that they have falllen under the Mother of Harlots (Revelation 17) because THEY know that YOU are not smart enough or ethical enough to resist perverting about ALL Biblical and historical evidence connecting music to Satan, warriors, prostitutes and Sodomites. I will post ANY exception you are able to find.
Satan is Saturn whose Chaldee number is 666. God commanded the Israelites to REST on that day and restricted travel so that they could NOT attend the usual Canaanite Baalism rituals of Star Worship to which God ABANDONED Israel when they demanded a king like the nations so that they could WORSHIP like the nations. REST never meant WORSHIP other than in Paul's ONLY worship concept which means to GIVE ATTENDANCE to the Word of God using the words for SPEAK which excludes the POETIC lies of the rhetoricians and EXCLUDES all forms of Music.
If you DO SABBATH worship you are MARKED as still under the CURSE of the Law which legislated for the Lawless now ABANDONED to what you PLAN to do on the Sabbath.
Gregory Nazianzen parallels Jesus "casting out the musical minstrels like dung" and consigning the pipers, singers and dancers to the marketplace: that is because Jesus said that the MEN were like CHILDREN which means the effeminate.
III. Is there any such among the shadowy purifications of the Law, aiding as it did with temporary sprinklings, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean; or do the gentiles celebrate any such thing in their mysteries, every ceremony and mystery of which to me is nonsense, and a dark invention of demons, and a figment of an unhappy mind, aided by time, and hidden by fable?
For what they worship as true, they veil as mythical. But if these things are true, they ought not to be called myths, but to be proved not to be shameful; and if they are false, they ought not to be objects of wonder; nor ought people so inconsiderately to hold the most contrary opinions about the same thing,Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of ChristG4639 skia skee'-ah Apparently a primary word; “shade” or a shadow (literally or figuratively [darkness of error or an adumbration]):--shadow.
Skia
2. reflection, image (in a bowl of oil),
3. shade of one dead, phantom, of worthless things, that phantom at Delphi,
4. evil spirit, also, of one worn to a shadow, A.Eu.302;
as if they were playing in the market-place with boys or really ill-disposed men, [Rom 15]
not engaged in discussion with men of sense, and worshippers of the Word,
though despisers of this artificial plausibility. [Rom 15]
IV. We are not concerned in these mysteries with birth of Zeus and thefts of the Cretan Tyrant (though the Greeks may be displeased at such a title for him), nor with the name of Curetes, and the armed dances, which were to hide the wailings of a weeping god, that he might escape from his father's hate. For indeed it would be a strange thing that he who was swallowed as a stone should be made to weep as a child. Nor are we concerned with Phrygian mutilations and flutes and Corybantes, and all the ravings of men concerning Rhea, consecrating people to the mother of the gods, and being initiated into such ceremonies as befit the mother of such gods as these. Nor have we any carrying away of the Maiden, nor wandering of Demeter, nor her intimacy with Celei and Triptolemi and Dragons; nor her doings and sufferings ... for I am ashamed to bring into daylight that ceremony of the night, and to make a sacred mystery of obscenity. Eleusis knows these things, and so do those who are eyewitnesses of what is there guarded by silence, and well worthy of it. Nor is our commemoration one of Dionysus, and the thigh that travailed with an incomplete birth, as before a head had travailed with another; nor of the hermaphrodite god, nor a chorus of the drunken and enervated host; nor of the folly of the Thebans which honours him; nor the thunderbolt of Semele which they adore. Nor is it the harlot mysteries of Aphrodite, who, as they themselves admit, was basely born and basely honoured; nor have we here Phalli and Ithyphalli, shameful both in form and action; nor Taurian massacres of strangers; nor blood of Laconian youths shed upon the altars, as they scourged themselves with the whips; and in this case alone use their courage badly, who honour a goddess, and her a virgin. For these same people both honour effeminacy, and worship boldness.
V. And where will you place the butchery of Pelops, which feasted hungry gods, that bitter and inhuman hospitality? Where the horrible and dark spectres of Hecate, and the underground puerilities and sorceries of Trophonius, or the babblings of the Dodonaean Oak, or the trickeries of the Delphian tripod, or the prophetic draught of Castalia, which could prophesy anything, except their own being brought to silence? Nor is it the sacrificial art of Magi, and their entrail forebodings, nor the Chaldaean astronomy and horoscopes, comparing our lives with the movements of the heavenly bodies, which cannot know even what they are themselves, or shall be.
Nor are these Thracian orgies, from which the word Worship (threskia) is said to be derived; nor rites and mysteries of Orpheus, whom the Greeks admired so much for his wisdom that they devised for him a lyre which draws all things by its music.
Nor the tortures of Mithras which it is just that those who can endure to be initiated into such things should suffer; nor the manglings of Osiris, another calamity honoured by the Egyptians; nor the ill-fortunes of Isis and the goats more venerable than the Mendesians, and the stall of Apis, the calf that luxuriated in the folly of the Memphites, nor all those honours with which they outrage the Nile, while themselves proclaiming it in song to be the Giver of fruits and corn, and the measurer of happiness by its cubits.
THE AGORA JESUS WARNED WOULD GET YOU HURT
YOU ARE HERE in the Agora or Kuklos or Circus from which we get CHURCH named after Circe the Holy Whore of John's Revelation.
To the flute-girl Bromias, daughter of Deiniades, Phayllus gave a silver karchesion, a votive offering of the Phocaeans, and an ivy wreath of gold, the offering of the Peparethians. "This girl," Theopompus says, "would even have played the flute- accompaniment to the Pythian Games had she not been prevented from doing so by the populace. And (he adds) to Physcidas, the son of Lycolas of Trichoneium, a beautiful boy, Onomarchus gave a laurel wreath of gold, votive offering of the Ephesians. This boy was taken to Philip by his father and was there prostituted, and afterwards dismissed without reward. To Damippus, the son of Epilycus of Amphipolis, a beautiful boy, Onomarchus gave. . . [gap], a votive offering of Pleisthenes. To Pharsalia, the Thessalian dancing-girl, Philomelus gave a laurel crown of gold, a votive offering of the Lampsacenes.
So beware, you philosophers who indulge in passion contrary to nature, who sin against the goddess of love, -- beware lest you also are destroyed in the same manner. For even boys are handsome, as the courtesan Glycera, in the account given by Clearchus, was wont to say, only so long as they look like a woman.This Pharsalia lost her life in Metapontium at the hands of the soothsayers in the market-place; for a voice had issued from the bronze bay-tree which the Metapontines had set up when Aristeas of Proconesus visited them and declared that he had come from the land of the Hyperboreans; and no sooner was she spied setting foot in the market-place than the soothsayers became furious, and she was pulled to pieces by them. And when people later came to look into the cause it was found that she had been killed because of the wreath which belonged to the god."
Luke 7:31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Luke 7:32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
Arnobius defining heresies:
41. Was it for this He sent souls, that they which shortly before had been gentle
and ignorant of what it is to be moved by fierce passions,
should build for themselves markets and amphi-theatres, places of blood and open wickedness, in the one of which they should see men devoured and torn in pieces by wild beasts, and themselves slay others for no demerit but to please and gratify the spectators, [voluptatemque] and should spend those very days on which such wicked deeds were done in general enjoyment,
and keep holiday with festive gaiety; while in the other, again, they should tear asunder the flesh of wretched animals, some snatch one part, others another, as dogs and vultures do, should grind them with their teeth, and give to their utterly insatiable maw, and that, surrounded by faces so fierce and savage, those should bewail their lot whom the straits of poverty withheld from such repasts; that their life should be happy and prosperous while such barbarous doings defiled their mouths and face?
Was it for this He sent souls, that, forgetting their importance and dignity as divine, they should acquire gems, precious stones, pearls, at the expense of their purity; should entwine their necks with these, pierce the tips of their ears, bind their foreheads with fillets, seek for cosmetics to deck their bodies, darken their eyes with henna ; nor, though in the forms of men, blush to curl their hair with crisping-pins, to make the skin of the body smooth, to walk with bare knees, and with every other kind of wantonness,
both to lay aside the strength of their manhood,
and to grow in effeminacy to a woman's habits and luxury?42. Was it for this He sent souls, that some should infest the highways and roads, others ensnare the unwary, forge false wills, prepare poisoned draughts; that they should break open houses by night, tamper with slaves, steal and drive away, not act uprightly, and betray their trust perfidiously; that they should strike out delicate dainties for the palate; that in cooking fowls they should know how to catch the fat as it drips; that they should make cracknels and sausages, force-meats, tit-bits, Lucanian sausages, with these a sow's udder and iced puddings?
Was it for this He sent souls, that beings of a sacred and august race should here practise singing and piping ;
that they should swell out their cheeks in blowing the flute ;
that they should take the lead in singing impure songs, and raising the loud din of the castanets, 309 by which another crowd of souls should be led in their wantonness to abandon themselves to clumsy motions,to dance and sing, form rings of dancers, and finally, raising their haunches and hips, float along with a tremulous motion of the loins?
Was it for this He sent souls, that in men they should become impure,
in women harlots,
players on the triangle 310 and psaltery ; that they should prostitute their bodies for hire, should abandon themselves to the lust of all, 311 ready in the brothels, to be met with in the stews, [fornicibus] ready to submit to anything, prepared to do violence to their mouth even?Of course, Paul went to the Agora to teach and preach "because that is where the people were."309 Scabilla were a kind of rattles or castanets moved by the feet.
310 Sambuca, not corresponding to the modern triangle, but a stringed instrument of that shape. Its notes were shrill and disagreeable, and those who played on it of indifferent character.
311 So the ms. and first four edd., reading virilitatem sui populo publicarent . Meursius emended utilitatem -"made common the use," etc.; and Orelli, from the margin of Ursinus, vilitatem -"their vileness."
THIS PAINTED-DEFILED ROPE IS THE MEANING OF PSALLO used to force you FROM the ekklesia into the MARKET-PLACE ruled by Apollyon. EVEN IF YOU ARE DRIVEN TO THE EKKLESIA BY CIVIL AND NON-POLLUTED AUTHORITIES YOU ARE MARKED BY THE RED DEFILING PAINT OF THE PSALLO ROPE: IF YOU REFUSED TO GO THE AUTHORITIES (GOD) WOULD HURT YOU.
Another view: A gang of slaves, called Scythians, carrying ropes dipped in red ochre (miltos, hence Miltiades, i.e. the Red-Haired) would travel through the city on the days the Ecclesia was to meet, and would lash those citizens not in attendance with their ropes. With garments thus stained, shamed citizens could legally carry out no business until they visited the meeting grounds of the Ecclesia on the hill called the Pnyx.
THE EKKLESIA (SYANGOGUE) DIRECTLY COMMANDED EVEN IN THE WILDERNESS
Don't doubt it one second: Jesus spoke in parables to HIDE the truth from those who CORRUPT the Word which means "sell learning at retail" and also means "adultery." Surely, you can find a group which does not DELIBERATELY pervert ALL of the Words of God.
Jesus CAST OUT the musical minstrels LIKE DUNG using the same concept applied to "playing the flute, stealing your inheritance, polluting, prostitute as as LUCIFER CAST OUT OF HEAVEN. That is where you are: Jesus has visited TO REMOVE the candlesticks of the Seven Spirits of God related to knowledge which are NOT little people small enough to fit into the preacherling's body.
ON THE DIRECTLY COMMANDED SIDE OF THE PSALLO PARABLE USED TO FOOL THE FOOLS.
In a political sense the Ekklesia was for listening to instructions or for debate which had an effect on the life of the nation. You could hear many famous speakers of the time.
However, EKKLESIA, like the synagogue, was for those with TRUTH to speak and any singer or musician would have been BOOTED. The DISCORDING SECTARIANS make fun of the Word of God and those who use it for faith and practice (all known church history before now) you are called a legalistic, sectarian BIBLE WORSHIPER. Well, in fact, Paul's ONLY worship word approved means to GIVE ATTENDANCE or HEED to the Word.
FINALLY, brethren, pray for us,Think about it: you PAY ATTENTION (worship) the WORDS of Jesus Christ which He said are SPIRIT and LIFE OR you pay attention (worship) the false teacher and HIS words. That defines the PHARISEE and rhetorical speaking is defined by the word HYPOCRITE.
that the WORD of the Lord
may have free course, and be GLORIFIED, even as it is with you: 2 Th 3:1
Paul's ONLY worship concept is to GIVE HEED to the Word or Sprit and Life from God in Christ. You have fallen under the CURSE of people who profit by telling you that the WORDS of Christ are OBSOLETE. This REJECTION of the WORD is defined by Paul in Hebrews 6 as AN UNFORGIVEABLE SIN. Only those who REJECTED the Word as at Mount Sinai defined in Romans 6 are turned over to worship the false gods and the wine, women and music is the MARK and the PRODUCER of beyond redemption sexual perversion. If you sing and dance when they PIPE then you are
initiated into the New Wineskin Worship where MUSIC always meant PERVERSION.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked [Degenerate] men: for all men have not faith. 2 Thess 3:2DISFELLOWSHIPING false teachers is a DIRECT COMMAND. Jesus EXAMPLED casting out the musical minstrels LIKE DUNG and identifying the Doctors of the Law as those who TAKE AWAY the key to knowledge. He permissively burned up all of the Levitical Warrior Musicians and their harps and fulfilled the PATTERNISM of the king / queen of Babylon whose harps and still-breathiing harpists would go with him into Sheol.
G4190 ponēros pon-ay-ros' From a derivative of G4192 ; hurtful, that is, evil (properly in effect or influence, figuratively calamitous; also (passively) ill, that is, diseased; but especially (morally) culpable, that is, derelict, vicious, facinorous; neuter (singular) mischief, malice, or (plural) guilt; masculine (singular) the devil, or (plural) sinners:—bad, evil, grievous, harm, lewd, malicious, wicked (-ness). See also G4191But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and KEEP you from evil. 2 Thess 3: 3
Now we COMMAND you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that ye WITHDRAW yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly,
and NOT after the tradition [transmission] which he received of us. 2 Thess 3: 6
For yourselves know how ye ought (obligated) to follow us:
for we behaved not ourselves disorderly [insubordinate] among you; 2 Thess 3: 7
Neither did we eat any mans bread for nought;
but wrought with labour and travail night and day,
that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 2 Thess 3: 8
This is POSITIVE PROOF that the church had no OFFICE of a preacher as a DOMINANT PASTOR who has obviously cowed the "elders" who may find themselves in a DOLLAR bind: that is the PLANNED timing of introducing music in the Purpose Driven Cult. Because there is NO LAW OF GIVING you HAD a trust-based-contract. They are required to obey Paul's command to the churches and HONOR the Word. Therefore, because the CONTRACT OF TRUST has been broken, you should not be the ENABLERS of a massive perversion of the truth and sowing of discord which is included in things God HATES.
I am going to pause: you have the Word of God and you have that "decision of Biblical proportion" to make. If you follow those who ABUSE you and EAT UP the living of widows and then DIVERT their love gifts to CONSTRUCT what John Prophesied as the worship of the Mother of Harlots where Apollo's agents USES music and musicians whom John called Sorcerers, that WILL mark you just as those who fell into Musical Idolatry at Mount Sinai were MARKED so that the Levites had no trouble picking out those to be PRUNED from Gods fold.
According to all of the musical passages and The Book of Enoch when you are MARKED you will never remove it. Being BLIND will not excuse you for following the BLIND: you have PROCURED your blindness at a High weekly Ticket Cost.
Jesus sent me to witness and not to whine with you when you are forced to make that choice between FAMILY and approving of INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC.
