Secular theme questions and making judgements

[Lik3]

Am I allowed to show videos or pics of women (or men) twerking or any other secular dancing if the topic has a religious connotation? I wanted to ask about people twerking to gospel music or secular dancing in church, or playing Christian music in a secular club. There was a video or two about gospel singers wearing tight clothing and twerking.

I would like to know if that would be much ado about nothing (as an opinion) or should that be an even bigger controversy than the ones I described earlier? I am not saying that the dancers aren't religious, come from a religious background, or are completely unsaved, but maybe I am way too old school.

I am ONLY basing it on the clip presented, not only outright passing ungodly judgement to judge. Also, is there a right time or place to make a godly judgment on even a saved person? I would think that godly judgement would mean say, Paul calling out someone for their misdeeds. I would also believe that ungodly judgement would mean being a hypocrite, such as described in Matthew 7.

twerking and such I'm sure is not allowed....

I see already 'handled', thankfully.

Many people have posted vulgar things, idolatry, even false gospels daily, and other sinful pics and texts,
and it doesn't help nor make it right if they claim a 'good' or religious motive - it is still sinful, and causes others who read it or see it to stumble often. (sometimes by them thinking it is 'therefore' okay because they see it here, "sin" permitted, doesn't make it unsinful.

From what I read on the Net, twerking is not godly. It is said to be "provocative" and "sexually explicit", which is not godly. if we understand that our behavior as Christians needs to be modest. And the photos I saw of it were not sending a moral message, I would say; so in case you do not want to see immodest photos, you would not want to look up photos of twerking on the Net.

About judging > first we in Jesus get judged >

"For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God?" (1 Peter 4:17)

So, we who are really right, I can see from this, are the ones who get judged "first" !

However, we do need to know right from wrong, so we do not do what is wrong, ourselves.

And part of right from wrong is how we are guiding people's attention. Our attention belongs with God and how He has us loving any and all people. So, this is part of what we need to judge about our own selves.
