Well, it certainly ain’t Baptist!...................
He only has to replace a third of the Angels, so he only needs roughly a third of the descendants of Adam and Eve. That is why the road to Perdition is wide. The ELCA Wisconsin Synod seems to be holding fast to what we were taught when we first believed.
Liturgical Dance = pure hogwash
BTW - are you aware that there is mention of dancing in the Bible? New Testament in fact.
Something about a birthday celebration for a king.
But not King Jesus.
It was for a pagan king.
And the king liked the dance so much that he ordered the execution of John the Baptist by beheading.
Though most scholars would place Jude's writing in the latter portion of the first century, Lutherans believe the Apostle's and the Nicene creeds, juxtapositions that appeared only in the fourth century are necessary to all their faithful adherents. One will not be accepted into membership of the Lutheran Church if one denies that at the time of declaring one's faith to be received in membership.
If the faith had been delivered once for all, it would not have waited another three centuries to finally get down other necessary things. Did God let three centuries of Christians die without knowing and repeated essential truths? No. Just as Jude said, it had already been delivered by the time Jude wrote that by about 90AD.
Thankfully “Liturgical Dance” in the Catholic Church only existed for a few insane years in the 80’s.
10:1 says that guy in the picture is homosexual.
Rule One: NO POOFTERS!
Nor allowed in the Catholic Church.
We had a “Prodigal Clown” demonstration on the day of the Gospel reading of the Prodigal Son. I was beside myself. I had to leave Mass and go to another Church I was so upset.
Seriously? It’s the Mass, not a theater workshop.
I had not seen anything like that in about thirty years.
I thought they had learned better.
The clowns were standing in the atrium and I thought to myself, "I hope they wash their faces before they go into Mass."
And then they walked up to the front row and sat there.
And then right after the Gospel message they were invited "on stage" to preform their little act.
I talked to the pastor later and he said, "Well, they wanted to do it so I let them."
I found myself another Church where we still get to kneel for Communion.
It ain’t dance either.
It’s exhibitionism.
????Opposite ends of the spectrum you got there.
Redeemer Presbyterian in NYC had something like this, IIRC.
The “dancer” looks like a Freddie Mercury wannabe.
For later
I’m dubious of people who put down other forms of worship of Jesus. It’s a bit Pharisaic.
Worship through dance is definitely in the Old Testament.
Someone recently prudishly declared to me that her church does not use instruments, just singing, because instruments are not mentioned as being used in the New Testament. She would have fainted if she saw the musicians and the worshippers at Times Square Church, among others.
I’m too inhibited to dance in church myself, but it is beautiful and spirit-filled, and I think it’s wrong to criticize it.
