Loftyboy: That is why i like deeper life bible church.

binbass: A religion without a constitution is fake.

Kslib:
You get mind dey laff abi? Common cough wey person cough for muslim section,you go ban the person till 2099...

Nkonadi: All these stuffs are m0stly seen in d modern day Churches...

A friend of mine once told me that she hate my church and i askd her Y? She said my Church dnt Dance.... #as if she don cum ma church b4#

haibe:

You can now see d'reason behind this dancin stuff, its idolatory, she dint see anytin to like in a church but dancin, not minding how d word of God is preached she says she hate d church b ecos they dont dance. Dancin uis d reason why pple go to church. Lol satan has gone far Oº°˚˚°ºh.

zangbah: Dancing in the church is an invention, jesus never dance in place of worship or teaches dancing. christanity is all abt entertainment and worldly desire. if you want jesus follow his way and not other peoples way

Kaellivi: Only God knows those that worship him in spirit and in truth.Before the advent of christianity people danced to their various pagan gods,those same dance steps are what we see in christianity today,no dance step today was invented by the church,it doesnt matter who invented d dance steps,what matters is that you use it to glorify God,we dont care if scientists are christians yet we use their microphones,speakers,light bulbs etc in church,u u are not bothered that the cbn governor is a muslim yet you use currency notes with his name and signature for your tithes and offerings,what about christmas being fixed on dsame day as a pagan celebration? Dont u celebrate christmas?.......work out your salvation,serve God as HIS Spirit leads you

ITbomb: That is why I hate praise sessions in church .
I would prefer a church where we do worship sessions only.

Detonator-rex:
I believe dance is dance whether it was invented by worldly people or not.how you dance is not the issue,its your heart that matters most.When David danced,the bible never recorded his dance steps,but we all know that he did it from his heart.so whoever invents a dance step in the secular world doesn't make it unacceptable as long as your heart is in tune with God.but i think the psoblem will b when you dance to show off,entice or impress other people in church.

@mumumugu,

It is a bad thing to bring such into the house of God. God is not everywhere for your information..God is in a place: "where 2 or more people gather IN HIS NAME.

Toks2008:

What is all these unfounded talk about dance or no dance.

Many people criticising dancing in church are mostly emeshed in various sinful acts and are surppose to work out their salvation with fear and trembling but hey are here feeling holy condeming an act instituted by Jehovah GOD.

Judges 21:21
When you see the young women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to the land of Benjamin to be your wife!


Judges 21:23
So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. Each man caught one of the women as she danced in the celebration and carried her off to be his wife. They returned to their own land, and they rebuilt their towns and lived in them.


1 Samuel 18:6
When the victorious Israelite army was returning home after David had killed the Philistine, women from all the towns of Israel came out to meet King Saul. They sang and danced for joy with tambourines and cymbals. [ The type of instrument represented by the word cymbals is uncertain.]


1 Samuel 21:11
But the officers of Achish were unhappy about his being there. “Isn’t this David, the king of the land?” they asked. “Isn’t he the one the people honor with dances, singing,‘Saul has killed his thousands,and David his ten thousands’?”


1 Samuel 29:5
Isn’t this the same David about whom the women of Israel sing in their dances, ‘Saul has killed his thousands,and David his ten thousands’?”

Job 21:11
They let their children frisk about like lambs.Their little ones skip and dance.


Ecclesiastes 3:4
A time to cry and a time to laugh.A time to grieve and a time to dance.


Song of Solomon 6:13
[ Young Women of Jerusalem ] [ Verse 6:13 is numbered 7:1 in Hebrew text.] Return, return to us, O maid of Shulam.Come back, come back, that we may see you again. [ Young Man ] Why do you stare at this young woman of Shulam,as she moves so gracefully between two lines of dancers? [ Or as you would at the movements of two armies? or as you would at the dance of Mahanaim? The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.]


Isaiah 13:21
Desert animals will move into the ruined city,and the houses will be haunted by howling creatures.Owls will live among the ruins,and wild goats will go there to dance.

Mark 6:22
Then his daughter, also named Herodias, [ Some manuscripts read the daughter of Herodias herself.] came in and performed a dance that greatly pleased Herod and his guests. “Ask me for anything you like,” the king said to the girl, “and I will give it to you.”


Luke 7:32
They are like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,‘We played wedding songs,and you didn’t dance,so we played funeral songs,and you didn’t weep.’

Are the critics satisfied or do you still want more scriptures.

There is no laid down rule or pattern on dancing. Dance is dance whether its called azonto,kukere,kokoro or palmmy dance, dance remains dance. All these hypochricy is unfounded and i advice that we focus on working out our salvation than spent time talking about dance style,troussers wearing ,head covering bruhaha

darealez: lol! I've been dancing d so called kukere dance before someone suddenly named it! I mean, i've not watched d stuff but wen i dance people say that's kukere! So, different names are given to existing things to make them look new. Imagine if i invent a new clapping style named "saliso" which in a lane man's language means double clap, will u stop attending a church because someone did d clap? Musical beats didn't come from only christians mind you! Advice- serve your God personally not because of this or that, do your own for God sees us all.

oineoma: .... I think you re a pagan or even a herbalist. Cause its clear you dont know the scripture... The point is, there is good and evil, God and devil.. So, dance or no dance, de question is ' WHO INSPIRED IT? so, who ever inspired it rules it. Period!

musKeeto:

If this isn't judging,

infgost234: I think you guys shud get somthng clear here... Kukere is not a name of a dance step. Its just the title of Iyana's song. D dance he used there is ETIGHI (whch is actually an efik dance) so it has been existing even before Iyana was born.. Now lets look at Azonto. Was azonto really invented by wizkid D answer is NO. Azonto is a ghanian dance step which i believe was existing even before the birth of wizkid and the other artists that just made it porpular..
Now, the summary is both dances are cultural or native dance steps...
So lemme ask this question. Is it right to dance ur native dance in church If no, den its nt right to dance Azonto nd Etighi in church. But if yes, then why is Azonto and Etighi an exemption?
Just my opinnion...

ULSHERLAN: Do churches now have their dance steps..besides what's wrong in these dance pattern you mentioned since they don't do it naked
