We are starting to complicate things again JD. I
have no problem with choirs and/or dancing as an act of worship
by creation in honor of Creator - didn't
Jesus say that if we fail to praise that the rocks would cry out? However,
the Godhead dancing with itself or dancing with each
other is another matter entirely and I would like to see some
clear precedent for this in God's Word.

Well, I think that if you can have your "symphony," others can have their "dance" (of life). Your choice of words has no more authority others. DM imagines "great dance" to be "unbiblical" rather than "non-biblical." I see no such distinction here. And let us not forget that all English words are approximations of the original language. There are no holy English words.Lam 5:15 is the contrast of two life styles - one of rejoicing and joy (the dance) and the other of sadness and dismay (mourning). Psalms 30:11 speaks to this very way of life - of joy and happiness -- dancing, if you will. More than this, Bill has given some very good comments, exegetical/biblcial comments in past postings. JD

No JD, I know you are not referring to dancing in Church or the kind of worshipful dance David wasdoing when Saul's daughter judged him in her heart. Those kinds of dances have precedent in truthThe kind you, Lance, and Bill promote are nowhere to be seen in the Word of God and is some figmentof a 4th Century religious imagination. judytOn Sun, 03 Jul 2005 08:29:44 -0400 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Judy -- do you think we speak of dancing church when we speak of the Great Dance?JD

David danced as an act of worship and so did Miriam; I hardly see this "perichosis" in the same lightWhat are the Godhead worshipping one another?Do you dance in church 'G?"On Sat, 2 Jul 2005 21:41:42 -0600 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:On Sat, 2 Jul 2005 13:02:28 -0400 Judy Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:I know what the scriptures below mean ..I don't see what any of them have to do with a "dance".."..my feet are on the rock, my name is on the rollbut movin' and a-groovin' does not satisfy my soulso when i'm down, i go up on my ownwhen i feel moved, i dance before the throne(just like David).."
