Master index of 23 studies: "Determine if you worship in Spirit and Truth!" Lesson 19 Singing In Worship (Part 4) Since Christ never authorized mechanical instruments of music in the New Testament to be used in worship of the church, we might ask, when did man "take it upon himself" to start using them in trying to worship God? It is a historical fact according to early church history, no mechanical instruments of music were ever used in church worship until about the year 670 A.D. At this time the church at Rome introduced an organ which produced such disturbances that it was removed. It was not until about 775 A.D. that it was introduced again, but this time it was kept, even with many people objecting. The instrument was not accepted by many churches for many years. Even in the 13th century Thomas Aquinas, a noted Catholic scholar, wrote against its use. This showed that even by the 13th century the instrument had not gained full acceptance. Men wanted to have it their way with no ... ...

The Unified oneness of God One in number or one in unity? Plural personalities within the one God "You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. " (James 2:19) This is a most unusual thing to say about the demons who do not question if God exists, having seen Him with their own eyes. Instead, this verse is saying that the demons understand that the three persons of the Trinity are in perfect unity, without difference of opinion, plan or authority. The unity between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is what makes the demons shudder, not the fact that God exists. The verse makes no sense if the demons shudder merely because they believe in God.

Jesus consented to the eternal plan of the Father who placed Jesus divine Spirit into the body of a man in Mary's womb. God created man in His own image (Gen 1:26-27), where man's human spirit is ontologically and "mechanically" identical to the divine Spirit of God. Making man in God's image facilitated a perfect interchangeability between the divine Spirit of God and the created human body and conversely, the created human spirit with the divine body of God.

384: Holy Spirit: Anti-Trinitarians make God a master ventriloquist ...
The problem for Arians is to explain why God chose to invent the entire concept of the Holy Spirit at all. Why was it necessary for God to give "electricity" apparent personality, independence, thoughts, the ability to speak like a person and refer to this energy as a "HE"? If Arians are correct, what God has done in inventing or utilizing the "concept of the Holy Spirit" as His power, is like us doing the same with our biceps muscle. We don't refer to this muscle as a HE, have it engage in discussion, and make it appear it made a decision with a mind of its own to lift something or open a door. Yet this is exactly what Anti-Trinitarians want us to believe about the Holy Spirit. In fact, what Arians suggest God does with his power, amounts to ventriloquism.

Kenneth Teegarden The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is a community of believers who through baptism into Jesus Christ are bound by covenant to God and to one another. Disciples draw their inspiration from Scripture and the Holy Spirit, celebrating around the Lord's Table the life, death and resurrection, and continuing presence of Christ.

It is a fact of history, that all denominations came into existence many centuries after the time of Jesus Christ. Denominations were unknown during the times that the apostles of Christ lived and wrote the New Testament. Divisions, or denominational tendencies, that is, the tendency for one group of Christians to teach a doctrine different from that taught by another, were known about and experienced during the first century. Contrary to many religionists today, who praise division or denominationalism the apostles who (by the guidance of the Holy Spirit of God) wrote the New Testament condemned denominationalism. Paul, in I Corinthians 3:3-4, has stated, "For ...
