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.

Dancing is a great release for me and my friends! I always go with my girlfriends and we stay in a group together. We stay safe and still have a great time together!

i believe dancing is what you make of it. if you go out and get drunk and do drugs and freak dance then i believe you are making dancing a bad thing. but if you go to a night club and dance with maybe your closest friends and do it just for fun then i do believe that it is not bad at all.

Dancing is not a bad thing, unless you use ecstasy or some other drug (alchohol, hemp, etc.)

Well, it depends on what type of dancing. Innocent, fun dancing is fine, actually its great to get your nerves lowered and your stress too. But... some types of dancing...

Ps 149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp
Ps 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
So 6:13 Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. -- What would ye look upon in the Shulamite? -- As it were the dance [/.b]of two camps.
the hebrew word is mahkole and really means rounddance not dance, or one could say 'pas de deux'
So dancing with a partner is encouraged by God. What is not encouraged by God are sinfull actions sometimes associated with dancing. Let us not throw the baby out with the bath water.
what I mean to say is this if its ok to dance in praise to God acccording to God then there is no reason to condemn secular dancing as long as one isn't commiting sin while doing so, ssuch as dirty dancing, or grinding dancing, or anything that is designed to turn a dance into something sexual or immoral.. there is beauty in dance for the dancer and for the observer that is not of a sexual nature.

David danced before the lord . . .
Isn't that enough?
No??? Ok . . . dancing can be a form of praise and it can be a form of slander. It just depends on the situation and the mood.

That doesn't follow. Round dance is a group dance in a circle, not a pas de deux. Just a precision check.

Actually a round dance could be two people or more. round dance just means social dance as opposed to solo dancing.Multi-Elis said:
"Round dance,
Noun 1. round dance - a folk dance; dancers form a circle
ring dance
folk dance, folk dancing - a style of dancing that originated among ordinary people (not in the royal courts)
schottische - a German round dance resembling a slow polka
2. round dance - a ballroom dance characterized by revolving movement
round dancing
ballroom dance, ballroom dancing - any of a variety of social dances performed by couples in a ballroom"
from the freedictionary that is on line.

I struggle with this issue...the truth is I don't think it is good, especially not in a club setting. I've never been to a club because I am afraid of what I'd be introduced to! I don't think a Christian club would be any different, no offense. Not everyone going to a Christian club is a Christian. I know, because some of my non Christian friends went to a local Christian club when I was still in high school.
However, I have a LOT of fun dancing! I love to dance alone at home to cheer me up, and I love dancing with my friends at weddings and dances. I know my intentions and my friends' intentions are pure, and so is our method of dancing, but in the same breath we aren't dancing before God, Christian music or not. We are dancing for our own enjoyment. That doesn't seem right, yet it doen't seem wrong necessarily either!
