What Did Jesus Intend?

Not necessarily true. East Asian music sounds distinctly foreign to Western ears and vice versa. They use different scales and everything apparently.

But everyone hears the same notes and sounds exactly the same whatever language they speak.
Whilst they may not all enjoy the same music. it is something we all understand and hear the same.

That is true of language as well, we all hear the sounds of various spoken languages but whether we understand what is being 'said' or expressed is another matter. If we don't understand it it just comes across as a noise, as does music to a dog.

Technically, this is not true, Sass.  Whilst I might hear the same lexical item as you do, my experience and your experience are likely to have been sufficiently different as to rsult in each of us having slightly(or hugely) different understandings of that item.  For instance, if you have a father who abuses, starves and ignores you, you are going to understand the term very differently from someone whose father is supportive, protective and encouraging.

That is NOT true. When I hear music it just comes over as a discordant  noise which does my head in!

Hope we are talking about music?? I think you went off the rail somewhere...

We did not say everyone would like it.. You confuse personal choice and liking with hearing the same.
Pretty much what you do with the bible and God.

ALL music has the same effect, although I can just about tolerate classical as my husband likes it, but only has it on in his own room.

That bad? You should have been a puritan.
