Frustrations in the world of music..... Sodom and Gomorrah vs. Jesus

King David played music.  The bible declares it.  In fact, he used music to sooth the mind and emotions of King Saul who brewed MUCH hatred in his heart towards David.  But David did NOT buy into Saul's feelings of hatred.  HE continued to TREAT ugly in the heart Saul with kindness and respect.  Saul is an example of worshiping the "pride" in men rather than the humble adoration of the creator.

Furthermore, David in the bible also had some issues with sin in his heart.  He knew it, and declared it in Psalm 51.  The reason for his sin wasn't because he gave up and said "I am born this way".......no way.  He said "Psa 51:4  Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. "  Essentially he LOST connection with his creator!  That is why he knew he was living in sin.  Some have even gone so far as to say that it was not the sin of being with another man's wife that was the "adultery."  The sin was in HIDING his behavior and MURDERING Bathsheba's husband.  No sin exists unless there are two (or more) people involved.  John the Baptist was murdered by two or more people and it was by the request of a woman who danced.  The sin is in HIDING from the creator and admitting this truth.

If you are talented in any kind of music, whether it is just singing "Over the Rainbow" to your children, or if it is in creating full albums that are for sale to millions, you WILL encounter "Sodom and Gomorrah"...... that is a guarantee.

The reason is because Satan desires WORSHIP!  Yes, worship.  Music is a form of worship.  Beautiful talented singers with wonderful singing voices are "caught," so to speak by "strange women" in Hollywood and beyond.  The men look handsome and healthy and strong.  The women play with the heart of man in these high talented positions......and literally break it.  Jesus himself NEEDED to confront the evils of Capernea.  He stated clearly that they were WORSE than Sodom and Gomorrah, because of their unbelief.

So the only way to confront the evils, is not to give into it.  But to continue with musical talent.  Overcome the evil in their heart with GOOD.  Do not be deceived by others who want you to "bow down" and worship their "Sodom and Gomorrah" lifestyle.  No, fulfill the work that God wants you to do on earth.  STUDY the SCRIPTURE, SHEW thyself APPROVED.

You as a believer can sing secular songs (Song of Solomon is right in the middle of the bible and declares love.....come away with me Lucille).  You can also sing beautiful songs that sooth the soul and are just generally fulfilling the comfort of the general tribe.  You could sing tribal or cultural songs without looking like you love the tribe more than the creator of the tribe.  And in many cases it is absolutely WONDERFUL to sing and know many hymns and praise songs.

Most importantly KNOW the scripture, so you do not get deceived by the ugly pattern of this fallen world.  Such a pattern only leads to much heartache and early death.

PS. Here is a sample of the music I improvise......

OT laws and NT Explanation- Ritual Purity and Impurity

(Lev 12:5)  But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

(Lev 13:2)  When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

(Lev 13:3)  And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

(Lev 13:4)  If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

(Lev 13:5)  And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

(Lev 13:6)  And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

(Lev 13:7)  But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:

(Lev 13:8)  And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

(Lev 13:9)  When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

(Lev 13:10)  And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;

(Lev 13:11)  It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.

(Lev 13:12)  And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;

(Lev 13:13)  Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

(Lev 13:14)  But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

(Lev 13:15)  And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

(Lev 13:16)  Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

(Lev 13:17)  And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.

(Lev 13:18)  The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

(Lev 13:19)  And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;

(Lev 13:20)  And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

(Lev 13:21)  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

(Lev 13:22)  And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

(Lev 13:23)  But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

(Lev 13:24)  Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

(Lev 13:25)  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

(Lev 13:26)  But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

(Lev 13:27)  And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

(Lev 13:28)  And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.

(Lev 13:29)  If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

(Lev 13:30)  Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.

(Lev 13:31)  And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:

(Lev 13:32)  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;

(Lev 13:33)  He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:

(Lev 13:34)  And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

(Lev 13:35)  But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

(Lev 13:36)  Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

(Lev 13:37)  But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

(Lev 13:38)  If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

(Lev 13:39)  Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.

(Lev 13:40)  And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

(Lev 13:41)  And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

(Lev 13:42)  And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

(Lev 13:43)  Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;

(Lev 13:44)  He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

(Lev 13:45)  And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

(Lev 13:46)  All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

(Lev 13:47)  The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;

(Lev 13:48)  Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

(Lev 13:49)  And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:

(Lev 14:34)  When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

(Lev 14:35)  And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

(Lev 14:36)  Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

(Lev 14:37)  And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

(Lev 14:38)  Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

(Lev 14:39)  And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

(Lev 14:40)  Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

(Lev 14:41)  And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

(Lev 14:42)  And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

(Lev 14:43)  And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

(Lev 14:44)  Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

(Lev 14:45)  And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

(Lev 14:46)  Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

(Lev 15:1)  And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,

(Lev 15:2)  Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

A way to rate entertainment choices..... just kind of silly...but consider.

Y = Youth  (a way for the youth to loose their own immagination skills)

G = Godly  (may be has some sensible teaching moments.  May be considered plain-people style information.  Contains hymns and other heavenly musical scores.  Observance of deer in the woods is wonderful reflection of the conditions that happen in nature.)

PG = Portions are not Godly  (simply put, some things are not heavenly.  Somethings are not accurate and/or useful for humanity.)

PG 13 = Portions are not Godly to those under 13 (Maybe it contains bloody scenes.  Maybe it explains some things that happened with David and Bathsheba.  Maybe it is a little off the wall with the dirty chiter chatter)

R = Repent.  Repent. Repent.  Before it is too late.  Way off the wall mocking and inconsiderate behaviour.  Anger without explaination or reason.  DisRespectful nonsense.  Lacks ability to reason.  Perhaps propoganda nonsense.

X = Don't even consider.  You are burned.  Hatefilled.  Hell-promotion.  Stay away.

There's something about Charlie Puth

Now, I know that this particular singer does not sing Christian songs.  (Note: Christians are not always Catholic or Protestant.....they may identify with other social groups like Anabaptist, Messianic, Hebrew Roots, semi-evangelical independent groups or other things)

But he is a public figure so he can serve as an example of what to do and what not to do when dealing with life.

1. He sings love songs.  The Song of Solomon IS a part of the HOLY BIBLE, so to eliminate that part of the bible is to eliminate a part of the human life that our creator wants us to "appreciate."  One particular song which he sings, seems like the story of Ruth and Boaz (One call away)....

2. He has a beautiful singing voice.  If Christians could sing with such passionate love towards each other and towards our creator God, imagine how many people would leave the secular and sensual culture due to the display of godly love, instead of trying to win souls by "condemnation."  Perhaps we should pray for such strength.

3. His mother is Jewish and used her skills as a music teacher/employment to influence her child to such singing skills.  His father was real-estate and a general "white guy" real-estate personality.  Parenting practices "rub off."

4. Some of his songs are appropriate for the general audience.  For persons under 18.  One of his songs is unique in that the unofficial music video includes guys who are "nerdy" looking and don't seem to be noticed by this world.  Charlie actually considered himself a "nerd" in his teenage years.

5. Some of his songs are NOT appropriate for the general audience.  The worship of sexuality, lust and bondage (alcohol addictions, heavy night life, immodesty in women etc) gets more attention than the aspects of love and what it requires, (self-denial, kindness, overcoming personal anger, think about the type of person you are with etc).

6. He is a general likable singer.  He doesn't seem too "full of it" like many pop singers become.  Hence he seems to have eliminated pride and generally admits to his "failures" as he is human.

7. He has spoken or was around people who support "Gay marriage" and things of that nature.  Does that mean that he is vicious about supporting such a thing?  For example, supporting the tearing down of bakery that doesn't cater to certain weddings. I don't know.  What I do know is that his approach to such individuals is not "condemning" and it is also not "catering" for the most part.  Jesus himself, loved those who could not love themselves....... he was around sinners.  Jesus himself also had conditions of "love" that were different from institutional conditions.

8. Jesus was around sinners.  He went to rich famous sinner's homes.  Charlie doesn't seem to be bothered by being around sinners.  Charlie doesn't seem to be bothered if his fans are sinners.  Be like Jesus.  Be like Charlie.

9. He has a scar on his eye brow.  He would not have a "life" had a vicious dog taken full control and a caregiver not given attention to his need for saving from the vicious dog as a young child.  As a teenager he really had a "teenage boy look" and not as much handsomeness.  The scar does not cause him to fear singing.  His teenage look did not cause him to fear appearing before pop-stars and Hollywood gossip.  His scar does not cause him to fear appearing "nice looking" to people.  Don't let your scars wear you down.  Some scars are hidden in the heart.

10. He loves his fans.  Others could be following you......as you are.  Not that he is perfect, but that he chooses to overcome that barrier.

In some ways I can relate to CHarlie: 1. Musical talent.....I have a little bit in the reality that I can play some Rachmaninoff.  2. Computer Nerd..... well yes, I was the back stage tech person and the "help desk" person at college 3. Some middle east culture connections through family.  The personality is unique and determined to success.....

(Why have not I written a lot of this and that about other activities in my life, such as my gardening activities?  sewing activities?  household tasks etc?  answer: because unconditional love for humanity holds more value.....than the everyday mundane.  More than we realize)

But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation. (Lev 27:13)

In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong. (Lev 27:24)

Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

Calculate the "day" in the Qumran Calendar.

*This is not edited grammatically, only for presentation of notes

I have not posted a lot since 9-23-2017 astronomy event where the planets aligned as the Rev 12 sign.  However, I do believe it is important to understand the calculation of ancient time as it CAN be converted to modern time.

HOW?

Sun, Moon, Stars are given to us as signs in the heavens.

Clue.

Metonic cycle presents to us the reality that there are 235 synodic months (lunar phases) in a cycle.  This is equivalent to 19 years.  It is easier to break things down by groups of years.  

If a person wanted to calculate "time" using the Qumran calendar.  Which it is an extremely orderly calendar and explains WHY there are such things as Jubilees written in the scriptures.  The best solution is to calculate by "days" based on the start of a calendrical cycle.  It is also important to know the condition of the heavens around the time when Christ was on the cross.  I do not claim to know the EXACT day Christ was on the cross, however, there COULD be signs in the heavens which indicate the possible time, as well as historical evidences for such which connect information from the bible to the times of events listed in history.  http://raggedycottagegarden.blogspot.com/2017/04/first-fruits-ad-31-vs-ad-2017.html

Pick a "day."  Call that "DAY 1" in Calendrical cycle 1.  Look up the location of the planets in the heavens (Book: Biblical Heavenly Signs).  Look up the timing of "nature" on the earth.  Barley harvest indicates start of Abib.

The "day" can be organized efficiently and accurately if the "day" is assigned according to the signs in the heavens and the signs in nature.

The moon itself moves in certain patterns along the ecliptic, year after year.

As a result, the Qumran calendar will present the time of the biblical events based on the pattern of the moon from the time of the "full moon" as the start of Abib 1 on Calendar cycle 1, which allows for the New Moon (sun was darkened 6th hour to the 9th hour as Christ was on the cross).

A "day" number may be on day 234 in the Qumran Calendar while it is on day 248-255 in the common modern Jewish calendar.  A 14-21 day difference.  This is due to the condition of the full moon being the start of the month of Abib in calendar cycle 1.

The "day" does not match the "math" of modern Christianity.  The Christianity that celebrates Christmas and Easter (such times are merely celebrations from pagan times before knowledge of the bible presented to the people).  The "day" will be closer to the modern Jewish Hebrew calendar due to its condition of being calculated by the signs of the moon phases.  However, this does not negate any work done by great Christians of the past who were martyred or severely persecuted for the faith, before their knowledge of the Qumran calendar.

The TIME of JESUS BIRTH is indicated CLEARLY by the scriptures : http://www.the13thenumeration.com/Blog13/2012/11/02/the-course-of-abija/

He doesn't need your help......

God's ways are so perfect, you cannot and should not attempt to alter his ways.  His ways are higher than our ways.

He created the eagle to fly in a perfect pattern and build a perfect nest in which to raise its young.  Do you not believe that he alone can also provide for you?

There are men in this world, and women too, who act as if they need "help" but they really do not need our help.

I have seen pictures of children starving in Africa.  I get reminded of how many deaths occurred in historical black-deaths and plagues.

There are times were God doesn't need your help.  There are times where people "pretend" to need your help, but are actually looking for other standards that are not God's standards for you or for themselves.

1. A man asks for your hand in marriage.  This man has been out on the town with other women and you didn't know about it.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

2. A group of girls want you to dress in nicer fancier and shorter skirts to make the football team in town happy.  He (they) don't need your help.  He (they) need Jesus.

3. A man who doesn't follow Jesus in another country and asked for you to get married.  Yes, he is a religious man, a confident man.  You met him online.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

4. A man says he is conservative Christian.  He never really liked history that much.  He avoided the subject of why Christmas and Easter are not mentioned in the bible and never really cared that much about how to treat  a woman or other cultures for that matter.  In fact, woman are always to submit, that's it, nothing else.  He knows hymns from great Christians of the past.  He has to do nothing in his heart.  He doesn't care that the Song of Moses and the Song of Lord is mentioned in Revelation.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

5. A man is asking for money.  You have never personally met him or the people he is helping.  He is supporting orphans and widows.  He is helping storm victims.  He is online.  He is part of a good organization.  Well at least it appears that way. (The red cross only built a few homes with millions of dollars donated).  If he is further than 30 miles away from your home, it is likely you won't know him.  He doesn't need your help.  Well at least a LOT of your help, unless you KNOW background information.  He needs to rely on Jesus and rely on local people, local natural resources for food and clothing.

6. He loves screens.  He loves computers.  He loves everything to do with cars.  He is obsessed with stuff of this world.  He hates visiting his grandmother in the hospital.  He hates visiting his long lost cousin with cancer.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

7. He was an -A- student in the school.  He passed out of college at the age of 16.  He never cared to investigate the origin of "evolution" and its theories.  (It was created by a rich not a humble man).  He loves to know that he can now buy a Ferrari because of his fancy degree and career.  He is looking forward to having one or more wives.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

8. His mother will not help him understand the important message of hard-work, getting things done for others and prayer.  His mother wants him to be a partier, a drinker and a lazy man like all the rest of them.  He doesn't need your help.  He needs Jesus.

******************

Here is a man that needs your help.

He was persecuted.

He was an outcast.

He was a student of the most high as well as a student at Harvard.

He wept over his lost sister living in sin.

He stood on the podium and stood for the right way to treat the tribes.

He allowed a sinfilled woman who left her lifestyle start up a small business.

He never picked up a gun to fight in a war, because he knew the war we face is in the spirit.

He was gossiped about in his local community and they hated his opinions in the local newspaper.

He was filled with flavor and didn't try to blend in with the sheep.  He knew who he was created to be.  What he was created to do.

He left his computer at the desk of a disabled woman who had difficulty speaking.

He didn't ask for money, when he became friends with the poor, fatherless, widows.  He just wanted to be their friend.

He lived in a state of survival.  Living off of the things in the wild.  He knows what berries in the forest are edible and which ones are not.  He is willing to point this out to EvE.

Now if you KNOW the scripture, and know it well, you will become like this man whom you should HELP!!!
