  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is it sinful to dance like Lady Gaga?

Meh.
MJ was satanic and preyed on children, LG is just the same.

When waking up in the morning a christian praises the Lord she or he doesnt worship or emulate a pop idol.

Taste and see the Lord is good. David danced for the Lord, with all His might. He had the joy joy joy down in his heart.

I dont know what LG does but i know she doesnt have this joy. She doesnt give any glory to God and calls her fans monsters and demons. Yuck. We arent 'born this way' we are born again!

Christians are never for show...christians are real people and dont feel the need to perform for attention or fame.

See matthew 11:16-19

The American church is very worldly at the present time. There are those Christians who are resisting this worldliness; that's why you are receiving conflicting answers.

Do not copy the things of this world. <--- That's in the Bible.

There is nothing objectively wrong about listening to lady gaga which some people seem to try to be claiming. If the issue is whether or not lady gaga is a sinner, then we would be unable to enjoy most forms of entertainment because all the athletes and entertainers are sinners. In fact we would be unable to enjoy any person because they are sinners. This is a clear example of just picking and choosing what is good or bad and placing a label on it based off of your taste.

Sure there is. I can prove - objectively - that she violates in her lifestyle, lyrics, and behaviour the values, principles and morality of Scripture. Insofar as this is true, listening to Lady Gaga and enthusing about her dance routines does not honor Christ and is therefore wrong.

If the issue is whether or not lady gaga is a sinner, then we would be unable to enjoy most forms of entertainment because all the athletes and entertainers are sinners.

This isn't the issue at all. The issue is the general tenor of her life, which reveals that Lady Gaga is clearly and extravagantly sold out to the darkness of the World, the Flesh and the devil. She isn't struggling against sin and failing sometimes in that struggle. She is of the World, lock, stock and barrel.

This is a clear example of just picking and choosing what is good or bad and placing a label on it based off of your taste.

Nope. It's not. I'm exercising discernment and right judgment to distinguish between what is evil and what is not. You are not.

Selah.

What is your point here, that everything we do must honor christ, and if that is the case then when you do trivial things in your life like take a crap thats still you staying consistent with your idea of honoring christ in everything you do? And just because something does not honor Christ does not mean it in any way dishonors him. Did Christ not show the most love to the biggest sinners in town(the prostitutes etc), surely you are not greater than our lord and savior?

As much as possible our lives should be lived with the aim of honoring God. So it is the apostle Paul wrote,

1 Corinthians 10:31
31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.


If it is possible to orient trivial events so that they honor God, do so. This is the mandate of Scripture to all followers of Christ. Sound too radical to you? If so, perhaps that's because you haven't really considered what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Here's how Paul described being a Christian:

Philippians 1:21
21 For to me, to live is Christ...


And just because something does not honor Christ does not mean it in any way dishonors him.

Uh huh. But this isn't the case with Lady Gaga. She's clearly set herself against the things of God. She isn't neutral ground. Her music is filled with the wickedness of the World, the Flesh and the devil.

Did Christ not show the most love to the biggest sinners in town(the prostitutes etc), surely you are not greater than our lord and savior?

Showing love to sinners does not mean you should applaud their wicked living. And Christ did not show "the most love to the biggest sinners." He loves all sinners equally. And that love involved warning sinners of the great danger of living wickedly and commanding them to stop. It certainly didn't entail getting excited about their wicked deeds as you seem to be about Lady Gaga's.

What are these wicked deeds that Gaga has done as you claim that you are accusing me of getting excited about?

As a person living in rebellion to God and producing the sort of music she does, Lady Gaga offers a myriad of wicked deeds to choose from. I'm not about to wade through the muck of her life to find examples of things that dishonor God. You can do that yourself if you're so inclined. I'd rather not sully my mind.

So you accuse me of getting excited about something that is wicked yet don't even know what that wicked thing is. This is some stellar christian advice thanks.

Lol! I am not intimately familiar with the serial killings of Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer but that by no means precludes me from saying that their serial killing was wrong. Likewise, I don't know much about Lady Gaga but that doesn't mean that I can't call her Godless living the evil that it is. All Godless living is evil.

The difference being with Bundy and Dahmer you can point to their evil actions: murder. I would think before calling someone, especially a professed Christian, "godless" and "evil" you would be able to substantiate it. Otherwise, I think Exodus 20:16 applies.

Hitler professed some connection to the Catholic faith at one time, but his deeds belied his claim. So, too, with Lady Gaga. Read the lyrics from her song "Judas" or from "Born This Way." A quick Google search will expose you to a myriad of images of Lady Gaga in extremely immodest, even pornographic, dress and conduct. Whatever her claims to a faith in Christ, Lady Gaga's living puts the lie to her claims. She reminds me of the apostle Paul's words to Titus:

Titus 1:15-16
15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.
16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.
