Do you still Dance, as a Christian?

[onetiggerroo]

Strong's definition of Ephod

1) ephod

a) priestly garment, shoulder-cape or mantle, outer garment

1) worn by an ordinary priest and made of white stuff

2) worn by the high priest - more costly, woven of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and linen threads provided with shoulder-pieces and a breast piece of like material, ornamented with gems and gold

Ephod according to Jewish Encyclopedia:

http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp...01&letter=E

My understanding it was agarment worn under preistly garments, and or in the case of King David, his Kingly garments... either way, David danced, and he danced before the LORD.

I say, we can dance if we want to

We can leave your friends behind

'Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance,

Well they're no friends of mine!

I was traveling down the road feeling hungry and cold

I saw a sign that said food and drink for everyone

So naturally I thought I would take a look inside

There was so much food, there was water coming from my eyes

Well there was ham and there was turkey, there was caviar

There were long tall classes of wine up to yar

But before I could move, someone put me on a chair

They said before you can eat you have to dance like Fred Astair

This song came up on my iTunes shuffle out of the blue today...made me laugh! It's one of my dad's favorites.

Never did learn how to dance... I guess thats a NO.

Yes there is nothing wrong with dancing. its a form of expression just like music. i got ripped off growing up by the churchs false teachings that its a sin to dance.

God never said it was a sin to dance, and you can't find any instance in the bible where it says it is a sin. Seems to me that churches have a major problem with trying to implement rules on christians that God never set!

my question for churches that teach that is how do they explain King David dancing??

I took dance lessons once.

I probably should've saved my money & just tried my best at various social events.

Come to think of it, once I was in a church when the pastor started teaching through the 150th Psalm, which reads:

Psa 150:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.

Psa 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.

Psa 150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.

Psa 150:4

Praise him with the timbrel and dance

: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

Psa 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.

Psa 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

I knew that the church was of a denomination that is against dancing, so I was listening carefully to see what the pastor would say about 'Praise Him with the timbrel and dance.'

You know what? He went straight from 'psaltery and harp' to 'stringed instruments and organs'! Just completely skipped over 'timbrel and dance' like it wasn't even there.

....Two left feet, you see..

Just wondering how you feel about dancing now that or since you've become a Christian? Either with your spouse or another partner! I can honestly tell you that down here in Cajunland, it would be something very hard to discontinue. I personally, don't see anything wrong with my wife and I going out or while at a wedding and "shaking" a let or two! But then again, we can really entertain the crowd....lol....Guess it runs in the genes! lol....What can I say?

And honestly folks, there were years when I was studying and learning about God and HIS word that I didn't even care if I or we didn't dance.....I never really thought about it for years.....but now! Look out Fred A.

Your thoughts?
