<\/div>\n\n1 Chronicles 15:28<\/strong> (RSV) So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals, and made\u00a0<\/b>loud\u00a0music on harps and lyres. (cf. 2 Chr 15:14; 20:19; Neh 9:4)<\/div>\n*<\/div>\nEzra 3:10-13<\/strong>\u00a0And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests in their vestments came forward with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel;\u00a0[11] and they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD, \u201cFor he is good,\u00a0for his steadfast love endures for ever toward Israel.\u201d\u00a0And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.\u00a0[12] But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers\u2019 houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy;\u00a0[13] so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people\u2019s weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard afar.<\/div>\n*<\/div>\nPsalm 47:1\u00a0<\/strong>Clap your hands, all peoples!\u00a0Shout to God with\u00a0<\/b>loud\u00a0songs of joy!<\/div>\n*<\/div>\nPsalm 95:1-2<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>O come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a\u00a0<\/b>joyful\u00a0noise to the rock of our salvation! [2] Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a\u00a0joyful\u00a0noise to him with songs of praise! (cf. 33:3)<\/div>\n*<\/div>\nPsalm 98: 4, 6<\/strong> Make a\u00a0<\/b>joyful\u00a0noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! . . . [6] With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a\u00a0joyful\u00a0noise before the King, the LORD! (cf. 100:1)<\/div>\n\n*<\/p>\n
Psalm 150:3-5<\/strong> Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! [4] Praise him with timbrel and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! [5] Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
What part of all that must<\/em> be disagreed with by any Christian who believes in biblical inspiration?\u00a0<\/span>It may indeed possibly<\/em>\u00a0(in any given case) be mere uncontrolled emotions (as opposed to a true manifestation of the Holy Spirit); on the other hand, this may also not<\/em> be the case. That\u2019s my point. It\u2019s not automatically<\/em> discounted because it\u2019s \u201cweird\u201d and \u201ceccentric\u201d to our eyes. Back to the \u201cstrange\u201d biblical parallels . . .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n*<\/div>\nThe Church may, of course, regulate as to where<\/em> and when<\/em> and how much<\/em> behavior of this sort is permissible within the parameters of liturgy and the Mass (much of it may be able to be expressed \u2014 and permitted \u2013, for example, in prayer meetings rather than the Mass or a Protestant service), but regulation and discussions about prudence and propriety are not prohibition.<\/div>\n*<\/div>\n***<\/div>\n\n*<\/p>\n
