    it's not wrong to dance in general. the way of dancing is what's wrong. i think you would know what's right and wrong. you're 895 rit. ;D ;D ;D.

    hey,...whats danding?
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    i think he/she means dancing...

    abouna said watever you do, as long as it doesnt cause anyone to fall into sin its ok...

    I agree with Abouna, but I also got to add to that, if you think that dancing is effecting or ruining your relationship with God, than don't do it, but if you think God will be ok with what you chose to do, than you might want to talk with your FOC!

    how would you know if you are not causing your friends to sin....by that i mean making them really into dancing....then them going off and dancing in front of people who look at her in a bad way...would that be your fault???
  • kacerz_Marekkacerz_Marek

    How can dance be a sin, if there is also a worship dance? For example: it was normal for Izraelites, that they expressed their joy and gave the glory to Lord by dance.

    So... they've sinned, or the dance CAN be sinful, if the purpose of it is bad.

    That's my opinion. ;)

    well..it depends on how you dance if u dance normally no one is gonna look at u in a bad way or even cause anyone to sin!

    How can dance be a sin, if there is also a worship dance? For example: it was normal for Izraelites, that they expressed their joy and gave the glory to Lord by dance.

    and kacerz_Marek no one said that dance was a sin!

    I didn't say that anybody said it is a sin and I proof it isn't. :) I just stardet my argumentation from some kind of a radical position and then I formulated a 'total rule' about dancing. :)
  • spr418spr418
    okay..my bad!

    anyone have any other opinions?

    i just didnt want to mention ma age!!

    umm thanks for the advice...but what is good dancing exactly...like shaking of the hips??? just like dance routines, belly dancing???
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    whoaaaaa hold it right there.. definitely NOT belly dancing... then your shaking almost every part of your body and SOMEONE is bound to look at you and think or say something wrong... kinda the same with the shaking of the hips...
  • Unknown
    I agree with Christ4Life, belly dancing is DISGUISTING, in the old egyptian movies they used to show their stomach, and now it's illegal, it's just nasty, so your going to go infront of everybody and start belly dancing, I don't think so, God will be depressed, it's free time, you should probably do something like READ THE BIBLE maybe, or even just get into the game, do something fun!

    whoaa no 1 said in fron of the opposite sex..im talking about...in your room or with your friends....umm thanks christ for life..thats a good theory it is spare time..i can read the bible

    soo...is it wrong..bellydancing in front of your friends??? (same sex of course)
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    well wats the point of dancing in your room? what will you benefit when you dance? will it add to your spiritual life? absolutely not... it will take away from it, even if its in front of your mother... i dont know how to exactly explain it, but it will later cause other things to happen that you cannot control in from of everyone, guys and girls... besides, you could be doing something to benefit you... i.e. reading the Bible, reading a spiritual book, doing homework.. the list can go on forever...
  • Unknown
    i totally underdatnd what you are saying but sometimes...you may want to do things that may not be GAINING OR TAKES AWAY from your spiritual life...it is only for entertainment...in this case dancing...just the same as watching tv..n everyone watched tv...it doesnt help with spirituallity but we still want to do it....
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    well in certain cases tv can be good... and i see that tv can, in some way be entertaining... but how on earth is dancing entertaining???????

    besides, there are many things we want to do but hinder our spiritual lives, and we have to cut them off little by little...

    King David danced to the lourd didnt he
  • Christ4LifeChrist4Life
    King David is a different story. King David danced out of joy for God, not for entertainment...

    actually abouna said what you do in your room, when the door is locked, proves exactly who you are (not that im judging anyone or anything..)

    coptic servant, i dont think bely dancing is illegal.. it was at a wedding reception i went to a while ago, like maybe 3 years ago... i didn think too much of it at the time... i was like, little, i was prolly clapping...

    i think HH said, that even in ur room when no1 is there u shud still stick n hold to ur principles... u r still a temple of the Holy Spirit in ur room.. remember Joseph.. How can I sin and do this great evil before the Lord..


    im sorry marmar...soce when was dancing a sin..but it has evolved into a sin because of the chenges in dance moves...reasons for dancing and what people look at while dancing...however if u do it in your room then there is nothing wrong as there is no sinful reason for dancing, n no 1 is watching me dance so 1 am not putting any1 in sin...

    Don't permit one form of dancing and ban the other because you don't like it...it's either all dancing is wrong or dancing is good.
    Look...if you like dance then be it...it's not like you are doing something horrible to your body you are just moving it a certain way or another...i see nothing bad in that...you are not harming the temple of God by moving it. Dancing require skills just like any sport...so look at it as a sport and there are a lot of schools that have dance teams..so why not just let it go...there is nothing wrong in dancing.

    I agree with what Marianne87 has said, it was well written!

    Umm... its not wrong. but its a little bit becaue i agree with everyone that it does agree on the dance, who you are with, and what you do. why would you REALLY wanna learn dance moves? its not t hat neccesary... but its not bad, its ok. i guess

    GOD BLESS
