1 | Can a Christian dance? | Bible general Archive 1 | justme | 52556 | ||
When I was in fifth garde in in the early mid 50's I often heard from the Punpit warnings about Movie shows, dancing, smoking and drinking. Our pastor made a solid impression on me. The one area that few ever talked about was swiming and beach parties, or hay rides. I wondered at the time why dancing a polka or square dance with lots of clothes on was so bad. At the beach parties the girls sure showed a lot more to see than at a dance. The hayrides in highschool were really kissing and huggen times. I know compaired to now those were very tame things. I have lived a life that God has watched over me, and I have stayed pure. But today teens are dealing with a huge consuming fire of sexual lust and almost overwhelming temptation. I never thought I would ever see such blatent open sexual diversions come out in the open public, and be so generally accepted. Maybe we need a few old time outspoken modern preachers to remind us that there are some areas we do not belong seeing, doing, or goung to. There will always be the "can christians do" things as long as we have the ability to be tempted. agape, justme |

2 | Can a Christian dance? | Bible general Archive 1 | Hank | 52560 | ||
Thank you, justme. Of course, the point of my response was that any question on any topic that commences with "can" speaks only of ability to perform. Can a Christian commit murder? Yes, with a loaded gun in his hand aimed point blank at the head of someone, he can commit murder if he has the ability to squeeze the trigger. But is it wrong for a Christian (or anyone else) willfully to commit murder. Of course it is. A question that is meant to inquire about whether a certain thing is right or wrong should never begin with "can." --Hank | ||||||

Hank: I remember a teacher I had many years ago. If you asked Can I do this or that she would say yes you can. No, you may not. I see this wording quite simular, when eternal security is brought up. Often the implacation is how little "can" I do and still get to heaven. When I hear that I doubt the person has a saving faith. agape, justme |
