Is All of a Christian’s Musicing a Sacred Experience? Part 2

 

Is All of a Christian’s Musicing a Sacred Experience? Part 2

After studying music philosophy and what the Bible actually states about music and musicing for over 50 years, I have learned that Christians have created many of the connotation words and phrases that make communication next to impossible with non-believers who are musicians or music philosophers.  What is intimated by what Christians say and what they write is capable of building a miscommunication barrier so high and fortified and so removed from modern understanding of the terms used, that what Christian’s   say and write about musical beliefs will most often be misunderstood by non-believers.  I fail to understand what is to be gained by using a word or phrase to suggest a different association than its literal meaning which is more universally understood by musicians and music philosophers.
