Decibel-Doctrine

The use of extremely loud music to facilitate worship in Christian sanctuaries is a 20-year-old practice in America. It is a New-Age doctrine unsupported by Biblical principles, and yet it is a very real belief and practice among Christian churches today. Man-made electronic technology has made this practice and belief feasible in the 21st century.

Decibel Doctrine (des’e-bel, dok’trin) n. 1. A principle or tenet presented for acceptance or belief that relates and associates the power and intensity of God’s presence, in a given place and time, as equivalent to the power and intensity of sound produced by electronic technology in that same place and time. 2. The belief that intense volumes of music, facilitated by electronic technology that evolved in late 20th century physics, attracts the presence of God, orchestrating the power of God falling, with favor and demonstration, upon any human subjected to the intense volumes of music. 3. A practice that affirms the power of volume in a church setting to be of God; employing that related power of extreme decibels of music to instigate worship of God, and propagate praise of God, and even facilitate repentance unto God, in that particular church setting.
