Music and Dancing

<< < (2/16) > >>

Craig:
My question also Patrick, I don't know of anyone shunned at BT for listening to Rock music.  That is about the only music I listen to now.

Am I going to be shunned? ???

Craig

Kat:

Patrick and Craig, that's what I thought he meant at first, but I think he forgot the comma.  Many people who say this, are people that are shunned here at bible-truths,   Now I think he was saying that we shun these 'church' people, Baptist and other denominations that think dancing and listening to rock music is a sin.  Am I right on this Mbwa?   And I guess what he said is right as shun means - to avoid deliberately or habitually.

Oh yea I listen to rock music too.

mercy, peace and love
Kat

OBrenda:
I still listen to Rock and other styles myself.

I love dancing, but with two knees in need of replacement, looks like I'm doing a chicken dance....lol... :o

True "Worship" is to obey his Commandments!

In Music, Dance, Driving to Work, Eating, Drinking, & Socializing.....do all with a mind to glorify God!

My 2 cents,
Praying for your Peace in this Issue!

Yes, Kat, that was what I meant.  Sorry for the mix-up.  And I know shunned sounds harsh.  I couldn't come up with a better word.  You know what I mean though.  Those people who'll judge you like mad after warning against judging others.  The ones who use the Word as a source of profit.  The ones obsessed with eternal torture. 

Anyway, I must say, and I'm being quite honest here, I'm like amazed at how kind everyone is here.  Sounds so sugar coated but I'm serious.  I really appreciate everyone's efforts to give me some insight.  I just hope I can be of help some day instead of asking questions all the time!  They told me God was love, and now I believe them.  God bless.

I am breaking the piggybank with this one. :)

It has been said thet music soothes the savage beast. Well i am glad that our mods like music or
we could be done in a flash sometimes. ;D Up to about 2 maybe 3 years ago nothing excited me like
an invitation to a party, and dancing was like an OBE many times for me. In fact for about 25 years
just to be sure there would be a party; we held one at our home 3 or 4 time each year 8). Favourite
dance music was in order of preference: :P Reggae, Punta Rock, Ballroom, Soul, Cumbia, Salsa and
Lambada. I seem to have lost my taste since then along with the alcohol to excess and swivel neck. ::)

Still look once most times, sometimes twice; but no longer feel the compulsion to do something about
it (the look) or can stamp it down much easier now. It seems that what was almost an obsession once
is now no more than some fond memories and interesting experiences to have learned from.

To be able to either sing, dance, play a musical instrument or entertain and help people relax :) for a
short time is a Gift From God. All is of God and as long as we do whatever we do to Edify the brethren
and Glorify Our Lord Jesus Christ; who can lay a charge on anyone.

Mbwa, hopefully you have picked up from these replies what you are looking for.

Philippians 4:4-9
4-Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, Rejoice!
5-Let your moderation be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6-Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God.
7-And the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
8-Finally, my brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are right,
whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any
virtue and if there is any praise, think on these things.
9-Do those things which you have also learned and received and heard and seen in me. And the God of
peace shall be with you.

george. ;D
