While growing up i only knew of secular rappers and break dancers. Until the emergence of gospel rappers like Lecrae, Trip Lee, Da truth, Flame etc. Afterwards my Neighborhood was saturated with gospel rappers.

Now in churches anytime there is concert break dancers and gospel rappers are invited especially in youth programs. However i noticed only youths were interested in it but the older generation were kicking against it including our former pastor.

Our former pastor vehemently comdemn rapping and break dancing, he doesn’t give us the liberty to dance in church.

With the coming of our new pastor, gospel rappers and break dancers are being encouraged.

I am perplexed, why did our former pastor and older generation condemn? it is it a sin?
the reason your former pastor and older generation detests rap and break dance is because their mind has been programmed to a certain way a Christian should act, dress, walk and speak

They don't know that some Bob Marley songs are more spiritual and mind blowing than the so called Christian songs, to them, once the song doesn't have screaming of Jesus Jesus Jesus, they term it worldly

Am a pastor but am working on a new mixtape

Genesis what says this . or what part of the bible can we find it ,
or is there another testament we don't know of that says this !
So listening to Bob Marley is a sin now , cos its not for " spiritual growth " or dancing leg work is a sin ...
You watch movies , news , sports , you listen to the radio attend weddings , have sex with your spouse ..how do all these things humble you and bring you to closer to God or encourage your spiritual growth !!!
See Nigerian Christians should realise One thing naija is not Rome where Christianity started the white folks who sold it to us don't go extreme like us ...I mean yeezy is a pastor in US and he still raps ....
Sister enjoy your life if you have a chance , don't live a boring life all in the name of spiritual growth ....even Jesus attended weddings and even ordered divine beer for boys when the beer finished In one of the parties !!
Stop disturbing us...

You want to eat your cake and have it...

You want to enjoy the most the world has to offer and at the same time gatecrash into the kingdom of God....

The Bible says it is impossible.

Don't take my word for it...do some reading brother....

Its not a sin. Its a genre of music just like jazz, rnb, pop, raggae, fuji etc

If you condemn it, you must condemn others too

We have culture before religion, our culture determines how we worship

Re: Is Break Dance And Rapping In Church Sinful? by ugwum007(m): 1:42pm On Aug 23, 2020
Have you asked the type of dance steps David was displaying that made his wife make mockery of him.
How you decide to praise and worship God is nobody's business.

When Noah got drunk and stripped himself naked. His son Ham got cursed instead for violating his privacy and making mockery of it.

So if you decide to start thinking otherwise when a sister is twerking and worshipping God in church. You have yourself to blame.

Whn the spirit of the lord enter u, u won't know whn u will start breakdance.. Rapping can only be bad for the church if the lyrics doesn't praise God. Breaking dance in the church is not bad depending on the lyrics of the song u are dancing to. Above all.. Ur heart and intention only matter...u might not rap and sing holy holy holy hoooly through out.. If u die u can still go to hell.. U will be surprised whn u see that gospel rapper dropping lyrics and rhymes for God in heaven.. U will be in hell reminding God that rapping is a sin na grin grin

YOU'RE SINNING IF YOU'RE DOING ANYTHING THAT IS NOT "CHRIST-LIKE".


Lol
did Jesus drive a car?
So, check how many times you have sinned (since Jesus didn't drive)
Re: Is Break Dance And Rapping In Church Sinful? by jaytime(m): 2:13pm On Aug 23, 2020
For me what matters in this argument of type of dance and song is the content of your heart/mind. Are you truly offering the dance and song to the glory of God and the edification of the church?
I believe that if we don't see anything wrong in doing traditional styles of dance and song in the church then nothing is wrong with break dance and rap. If we all sing reggae (a genre that belongs to the Igbo - smoking Rastafarians) in gospel lyrics and dance to such songs in 'Bob Marley style', then nothing is wrong with rap and break dance.
A pastor once said something that changed my perspective on issues like this. He said "there is nothing like gospel song, what we have is gospel lyrics". This means that it is the lyrics (wordings) in the song that decides whether it belongs to the church; not the genre or style.

alBHAGDADI:


They are things of the flesh and do not glorify God. The pastors who allow such in church are using it as a form of entertainment to keep the people in Church. Such a church is not a saved church but filled with pseudo-christians.

True Christians go to church to hear the word of God. Fake Christians don't like the word of God. The thing that keeps them in church is entertainment. Pastorpreneurs understand this, so they use a lot of entertainment which includes drama, comedy and celebrities to keep them in church until they part with their money. It's all about the Benjamins.

In the Bible, Jesus advised us to go after his word and not fleshy things which does not profit.

John 6:63 KJV
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

How does break dance and rapping profit people in Church? It doesn't do more than tickle them and appeal to their fleshy desire. It reminds them of the gig and night clubs they attended on Friday.




Are you really a Christian?
Is it Christlike to condemn what you don't understand?

There are gospel rap you will hear that would point you to the cross.

Pop/rap is just a genre of music like highlife. Gospel can be preached with any genre of music including afro juju, afrobeat, reggae and others.

Tell your modern church to install a stripper poll.

Stripper pole is not a genre of music neither is it a dance step
Re: Is Break Dance And Rapping In Church Sinful? by Danniedpastor(m): 2:20pm On Aug 23, 2020
MsAllison:
bloody sinful.

But unfortunately the church is not what it's used to be before.

There are supposed to be morals and decorum in the house of God yet these business centers called churches do anything they like and term it radical for Jesus
the next thing is they'll tell you how David danced in the bible as if they were there.

These new generations have made the church so carnal that they now entertain their members with worldly musicians that sang anything they want and insert God's name in it calling it Christian music.

Very soon Naira Marley will sing a song and insert God in it and watch out as one church invites him to perform on Sunday.


Rubbish business centers
that's why I'm so indifferent in this CAMA stuff



Keep condeming what you don't understand.
In the presence of God, there is liberty.
Meaning you are free, but let all things be done moderately and fear of God.


What God have not called sin is not sin.
Re: Is Break Dance And Rapping In Church Sinful? by SIRRITE: 2:27pm On Aug 23, 2020
Those people saying break dance and raps are worldly, i want to ask, do the world had anything, do the devil or it world create anything? The answer is no, God created everything the bible says, what the devil does is he corrupt what God created and uses it to glorify himself and agenda.
The raping is a gift from God not devil, but devil can corrupt a person with rap gift to rap for him, likewise break dance,

But if a rapper decided to use his or her rap gift to glorify God will u tell me is wrong?

gideonite98:
I really don't know about rap but some dance steps are not for the lord and especially when you're in the church.
It's like you decide to dance skelewu,zanku,those marlians dance steps etc in the church and you're saying nothing is wrong with it and break dance is used in hip hops (I was a dancer back then and you learn stuffs like that in hip hops especially foreign ones).
So I personally don't do some dance steps in church or in public set but I listen to lecrae raps.

For the lady saying you can twerk in church please you really need to change your church if twerking is allowed.

Peace
Happy Sunday.



How would a serious Christian dance Zanku and all those "igbo inspired" dance steps without spending time with such songs.

A serious Christian shouldn't listen to such music.
As for Christian rap songs, it is nice and godly.
I've listened to many with pure scriptural punchlines.
Listen to Nolly ,Angelo, and others you will understand that the gospel can be preached with any genre of music.

If the LED screen in our church can display a porn clip while church service was ongoing, then who am I to stand against Rap and breakdance??......

In my church this morning, LFC, one pantless young lady on a long cotton gown was just wagging her backa infront of me......Backa so soft, smooth, supple and tender and shaking like a nylon bag filled with water.....

Konjji dey catch me for church right now sef.....


You are sure it happened in a branch of LFC?
You should know that church is like hospital and many are sick and are there to be healed.
Even your mind is corrupt to be paying attention to the backa

Yes.

Not only that, twerking in the vineyard is a big sin.

In fact, knowing you have a big bum bum yet moving it left and right in front of brother Emma is a big sin.

the big bum is the Lord's doing, and its marvelous in our sight..

What about dancing like David and going naked . Is that permitted in the church?
If going naked seem okay to your reasoning faculty then go naked bro.
Peace and out
And David did not go naked in the church.
