Today,
reply is on the use of music and song during worship. The church
founded by Jesus Christ provides multiple sacred gifts that can not
be found in any other place on earth. There, divinity allows the use
of simple devices to acknowledge, access, and approach the high
throne of GOD, even, the use of songs by those who are not singers.
Rather than the blood of bulls, goats and sheep that were offered
within the sacred tabernacle of Moses and the Temple at Jerusalem as
depictions and demonstrations of unseen things in heaven, Christians
now gather to offer and sacrifice the elements of life essence
(breath; spirit; word) that reside within the Son of GOD, Jesus
Christ. It is written: Hebrews 10: 4-10, King James Version (KJV):
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats
should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he
saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou
prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou
hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of
the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when
he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering
for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein;
which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy
will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the
second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. A fighter in the “Yahoo!

As
a religious person?
Do
you believe all that you are told in church or do you pick certain
things and disgaurd some of it?
I
went to church two or three times and liked that they try to guide to
live healthier, but I did not believe much of what they said about
the after life. Also they sang a lot and I found it to be a really
big waste of my time, why do they sing all the time. It was like they
tried to hold me and waste my time on purpose instead of just stating
their business and releasing me.
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in
his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him
for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent
greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him
with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance:
praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the
loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every
thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye
the LORD. (Psalms 150: 1-6, KJV)

“Tasm”,
those who regularly attend church participate in a sacred operation
that is put forward from divinity, rather than a man-made event
provided from the World. Mature Christian believers are in an
ongoing relationship with divinity through offerings and sacrifices
made by Jesus Christ as their High Priest in heaven. Those who turn
to GOD through Jesus must willingly accept that divinity (we also
say, divine fullness; the Godhead; the Father, the Son, the Holy
Spirit) is guiding them in a lifetime journey whereby their inner
spirit is to be permanently changed and transformed. Sinners are to
receive a fresh endowment of the same life essence (we also
say, breath; spirit; word) imparted to mankind from divine fullness
at Creation. Included are inseparable aspects of the full substance
of GOD such as balance, faith, forbearance, holiness, longsuffering,
lovingkindness, personhood, righteousness, wisdom, and wrath against
sin. Just as babies must develop before their birth, those coming to
Christ must undergo a process of death and burial of their inborn
nature with rebirth from divine DNA, so to speak, and life from the
resurrection of Jesus Christ. Those born again are to “grow up
again” and become mature/ripe for harvest by the Lord at his
appearing (the Advent; the Rapture; the Second Coming). Developing
believers will endure multiple life challenges and “growing pains”
while on the earth. Before the coming of the Lord, all are to be
made ready by experiences of discovery; fellowship within the
household of faith; gradual growth; sacred practice (e.g.,
discernment, praise, prayer, thanksgiving); study of the holy
writings; unselfish service; and suffering. Consider the following
that uses language from the Bible, and a presentation from the music
ministry of Steve Amerson and Ralph Carmichael:
(1.)
Hosea 14: 2, King James Version (KJV): 2 Take with you words, and
turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all
iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the
calves of our lips.
(2.)
Psalms 100: 1-5, KJV: 1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD,
all ye lands. 2 Serve the LORD with gladness:
come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the LORD
he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not
we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts
with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For
the LORD is good; his mercy is
everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
(3.)
Hebrews 9: 13-15, KJV: 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats,
and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the
purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ,
who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15
And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by
means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were
under the first testament, they which are called might receive the
promise of eternal inheritance.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For
example, (4.)

Even
so, I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according
to your faith.
