hi, if you think dancing ballroom is sensual then you have never danced ballroom.your mind is on the dancing part and leading or following your partner.walking down the street is sensual if that is your mindset.if your heart is full of pent up desires then anything you do is wicked because you brought it with you in your heart.jimp

We are more confident in the devils ability to pervert than God's ability to sustain. Don't call unclean what the Lord has made clean, lots of opinions on here, but no one really has a biblical reason we can't dance...because there is none. You're free in Christ to dance if you wish, but you're also free not to. Is it really necessary to mention dancings "sensual" nature? If you're following Christ I think it's obvious this isn't what you want to participate in. Are we REALLY so out of touch with the spirit inside of us that we can't dance with a loved one without sinning? How do you intend on surviving
in a world so full of perversion if you're not even able to dance without sin? Exercise the faith you have in what Christ has done for you, his spirit lives inside of you, he will tell you if he minds you dancing, if he won't guide us in this trivial matter than how can he guide us anywhere?

martyr,
I do appreciate your Godly counsel.

Isn't that what Sermon Index is all about?

Godly counsel...?
But what is Godly counsel ?
Would it not be ,what the WORD says in a matter?

Consitering :John 1:1 `God is the WORD'
Ungodly counsel: opinions without the WORD.

Isn,t Jesus ~The Great Shepperd of the sheep?
He says,`my sheep hear My Voice, and they follow Me.

When Paul first came to the Lord ,and he was following HARD after his own way,
He recconized the voice, ...the drawing of annother way..and he asked(Acts 9:6) `Lord, What wilt Thou have me to do?' I believe Paul continued to ask the Lord that question,(by his writtings),Don't we ?

(Paul said,For as many as are led by the Spirit of God,They are the sons(children) of God.

In His love,
Elizabeth

im hearing you lisa


i see bibilcal reasons not to drink wine or eat meat that might make a brother or sister stumble

not that wine is evil
nor is dancing evil

but our liberty is not ther to stumble the weak in christ

or stumble the ungodly in to lusting

corinthans is a firm example of this

we shouold allways have others in mind ,and care about what might happen to them

boasting in our liberty ,and stubling others in the practice of our freedom in christ ,,,,,this is not good brethern

you all no quite well that paul taught against stumbling others in our freedom

lets boast in this that by the grace of god i will do all i can do to never help our presious brothers and sisters
stumble

as a woman for instance i will never take a baby sister in christ dancing,,for if she has the concence of the senseualness,, it might led her to back in to her old ways temt her to be senual, and led her astay ,the one for whom christ died ,,,and will never take a baby boy in christ , to a place and dance with him ,becasue it my cause him to lust after me ,and other girls who are skantly dressed

what is not of faith is sin

is this dancing we do a faithfilled act of worship toward god in the spirit ,,,if it is halilua ,,,ill dance to that

is it a wordly pleasure wraped in the claim to liberty ,and seasoned with boasting

i pray we might ask god to surch our hearts



im not at all against the joy of dancing ,in a godly contex

but brethern i beg you to put the weak ones and the sinners in first place above and beoned our liberty and freedom

the bible does teach this ,,if others want to ignore the princaples taught by paul,,,,,i wont argue about ,tho i may weep to god ,, for i once was a weak brother subjest to a defiled concence due to liberty ,,,,,and at times i still am ,,i know theres others sisters and brothers who will benefit from our puting them first and our freedom last ,,,for the glory christ an for the sake of the elect

hi, what weak ones are at a ballroom studio?who knows a person and his wife is dancing to be offended?this is really nonsense. goodnight.love you all.

My sister. Anen and amen to your post. Indeed what would God say to us out of his word.

Blaine

thats realy the main point i agree marter

what does the bible say about practicing pagan activites in pagan places ,run by pagan people
