Christian Breakdancers

[guitarintro]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there were any Christian breakdancers here and what music do you dance to?

It seems like a good activity to increase your stamina and as long as it is Christian inspired, and not anything bad. What are your thoughts on it?

Err, what's wrong with break dancing if it's not "Christian inspired"?

I think the bigger question is how it can be 'Christian inspired' or 'not [insert religion here] inspired' in the first place. It's not as if break dancing was ever a spiritual exercise to begin with. I could see some basis for claims like that with types of meditation/yoga, but not break dancing.

I tend to think the same thing about Yoga. lol
The only difference is that it's embraced by the new age/Buddhist community the most so it has an association.

I just have one thing to say I hope that you take it very seriously. Before beginning to breakdance, you need to really reserach what you are getting yourself into. Research the breakdance music, the steps that you have to start off with, powermoves, and everything. I am seriously asking you this because in your research you may come across some things that may change your mind the way you may feel about it.

Also with the yoga, it was part of mediation and is used to serve there God I beleive. Even with doing it to christian music doesn't always make it right. We can't always just throw a christian spin on everything we have to research things. We have to see if things still have it's orginal true meaning. We can't worship our God the way they worship there Gods. Somethings we can do and some we can't but before getting started we have to serach what we are getting ourselves into.

There is just one flaw with your theory: you can't ignorantly worship something. I can do all the meditation I want and it's no sort of worship unless my intentions are as such. So the whole idea that you're worshiping another God by doing dance moves or meditating is completely bogus.

I give God a little more credit when it comes to knowing who we are.

You can ignorantly worship something. Someone can have good intentions and feel they are sincerely right but in reality they are sincerely wrong. Yes he does know who we are but at the same time we have to educate ourselves and not turn away from the truth. We have to do reserach and make sure what we are doing is really bringing him the glory. I know that prolly hurts to hear. But we have to do our reserach.

Yoga is a form of worship, it goes deeper than just mediatation, yoga has many meanings,and is derived from the Sanskrit root "yuj," meaning "to control," "to yoke" or "to unite". There is a statue Statue of Shiva(also known as Rudra (the "Feared One") is a major Hindu god. the Smarta tradition, he is one of the five primary forms of God.)performing Yogic meditation in the Padmasana( a postion preformed in yoga) posture. We have to know what we are truly doing, and best way to find out is to research it.

We can't be afraid to find out the truth, or even wish away the truth. We have to take it as it comes. If we have done something even though having sincere intentions but be sincerely wrong. The thing is we have to again research what we are doing when we have to start something new to see what we are getting ourselves into.

I've done quite extensive research on this already, and all the research I've done has contradicted everything you've said.

As I said, you cannot secretly, unwillingly, or unknowingly worship anything. Worship requires desire of the heart, not just by performing some moves in Yoga. The desire to worship something has to be present, where as most people who partake in actions such as yoga are doing so for the health benefits, not because they are worshiping something.

While doing research, I suggest research how every breakdancer starts out, and how the powermoves are preformed, research the symbols within the breakdancing, there is a symbol that will stand out when searching. Research that symbol and you will understand where i am going from.

You can unknowingly worship something other than God.
