Interesting title for this topic. What does the Bible say about dancing? Is any kind of dancing acceptable to God or is all dancing unacceptable to God? __________________________ In His Love, Mercy & Grace Daryl [This message has been edited by Daryl Fawcett (edited November 19, 2001).]

It is interesting how a topic dies, even when a question is asked.

Manuscript Releases Volume Four----PG- 432
" Your voice is working against the success and triumph of the truth in these last days. Our God has a message for His people represented by an angel flying through heaven proclaiming the last message to a fallen world. What is the angel proclaiming? The commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. This represents that God's messengers are to hold this banner high, and with no feeble voice proclaim to a perishing world the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. . . ."

Daryl,
In answer to your question, the KJV uses the words, "dance" "dances", "danced" and "dancing" 27 times. Most times it is used neutrally, as merely a statement of fact, such as reporting on an activity without any evaluation, or judgment concerning the fact that someone was dancing. Most often it is associated with joy and happiness and indicates the bodily motion as a physical expression of intense positive emotion. There is no direct condemnation of dancing in Scripture. Quite to the contrary, it is more often viewed positively, including several times in the Psalms where there is a directive to praise God with dancing. And David's enthusiastic dancing before the Ark seems not to have disturbed God, even though David's wife was apparently embarassed by his undignified display. The closest we come to God being displeased was when the Israelites danced before the golden calf. But there it was the worship of the idol that God punished and not the dancing. Otherwise GOd would have been also offended when Miram led the women in a dance of celebration at the Red Sea.

So, perhaps it is not the dance nor the music, but the inspiration which prompts it and to whom the worship is intended.
When we are worldly dancing, whom do we honour?
