And if I was to have the chance to go back and do it all over again, I'd prevent people from doing it. Its simply wrong for reasons we've argued over and over again...
may b ?!?!?!?!?!!?!? ??? :P
lol :P
i thnk it depends again at wat spirituality u are at...
it just doesnt make sense to come out of church and from a hily sacrament which marriage is and start dancing!! it just doesnt make sense and im sure God wouldnt agree with such a thing!??!
u guys dont remember the wedding at cana? he turned water into wine
shnoods r u tellin me u never danced at a wedding? never
yes .... i never danced at a wedding and i will never even in my brother`s wedding.
and i am not the only one who does so.all my friends and alot of guys at church.we don`t need to discuss this matter as we all know for sure it is wrong.i think it is the effect of the society u r living in.
we as egyptians never thought of considering dancing as an acceptable thing.
Priests aren't party poopers but if you are one of those people striving to be like Jesus (which we all should be) i suggest following the example of the priest
By the way using Abounas kids as examples is not a good habit
I suggest always using Jesus as a person to follow, not abouna's family ( out of respect to his family)
1 Corinthians 6:10 lists drunkards among those who will not inherit the kingdom of God. "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, NOR DRUNKARDS, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Hosea 4:11 "Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart."
Proverbs 23:19-21, "Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty."
Isaiah 5:11, 22 "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink. "
1 Corinthians 5:11, 13 "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one, no, not to eat... therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person."

and there are proper dancing and there are bad dancing ( as in that dance that black ppl do NON RACEIST COMMENET! and there is dirty dancing)
proper there is slow dancing ( of course someone is not gonna dance with someone else of the opposite sex in front of the parents! cuz parents are gonna kill you when u get home!)
there is TANGO ( that is ofcourse bad, cuz there is touchy and the male's hands go all over of his partner!)
belly dancing ( to me i think it is ok, i grew up in egypt! and i have seen soo many ppl do it and there is no SIN about it) you are just dancing out of joy after the church ceremony!
and to some ppl there dancing is like a hobby, for example: cheerleading ( i did cheerleading and nothing was wrong with it) and there is BALLETE ( sorry if i misspleaded it)
it depends on what kind of dancing you are talking about, and trust me when i say this if my mom and my dad (especially) saw me dancing in a way they think it is wrong (((( here comes the ugly part)))))............... I WOULD NOT BE ALIVE!!
pray for me

My priest also said cheerleading was wrong due to two reasons. First of all, its in front of the world to see, and there are some moves that may be inappropriate, and because of the required outfits.
