Moving While Playing

[broadcaster]

Psalm 150
1 Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

2 Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.

3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,

4 praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,

5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.
Praise the LORD.

i didn't buy it then, and i don't today. The Lord reveals Himself to me in serene and peaceful ways, and I approach Him with reverence and respect.


At least apples and oranges are both a fruit.

i have no idea what you are trying to convey

so they said. they also told me that I was not filled with the Holy Spirit because I did not conduct myself in a similar fashion.

Today i consider this type thing to be religious bullying,absolutely misguided, reckless, and without biblical foundation.

I suggest prayerfully having a word with your Pastor or an Elder about this matter. Don't let bitterness rob you of your joy in the Lord, Bro.

God bless, b

I was going to say to the one who quoted you and compared his example to your statement is like comparing apples to oranges. After thinking about it I realized that it was even further than apples and oranges. Apples and oranges are at least both fruits. His example wasn't even close.

Is this thread still going?

you'll have to forgive me for not being fully read up on 1 or 2 of millions of religous students/professors who have written a thesis on this or that.

William James was one of the greatest minds of the 19th Century. Read him. Learn that there are many roads to god, not just the various "Christian" and other ethnocentric denominational interpretations.

Bottom Line: Some folks don't have a problem with rhythmically involving their bodies during their worship services. Other people get uptight about every little thing and have to criticize others for not following one peculiar path to god. Sad.

Some people believe that they are experiencing god while they are having sex. Who are you to say they are not?

Man, have some tolerance! Learn about the world!

Rhythm is Life.

sounds to me like you may have some tolerance issues to deal with yourself. you have your mind all made up about me and you know nothing about me. i doubt you've even really read this entire thread.

i agree with you that there are many roads, but I believe most lead some place other than God. most roads are distractions focused on self centeredness.

[BoB/335]

Matthew 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.


John 14: 6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.


Hope you find the narrow gate!

Who here plays while they move?

[Ptrallan01]

We are venturing out of the direction of what Paul will tolerate. I speak from personal experience. Lets NOT get into a discussion that is my religion verses your religion. This is not the place for it. There are several forums where this can be debated but TDPRI is NOT one of them. If you need to have this discussion please do it through emails, pms or on a discussion board designed for this level of religious philosophical discussion. Here we discuss guitars and there place in the worship service.

I love these discussions but I also love TDPRI and don't want to see a good thread shutdown, or for any of us to get a warning email from Paul. He works hard to be fair, lets make it a little easier on him.

Thanks

Peter

Sounds like she is commenting to the effect "hey, look at that teeny little splinter in your eye" when she doesn't see the HUGE LOG in her own eye....

I am of the opinion that folks are just plain displeased. They aren't happy at all, they have very little joy, and they wander around the planet spewing this same type of displeasure everywhere they go. Using the same lips that they supposedly praise God with, they curse their brothers and sisters...

Best thing to do is to recognize the source, and pray for that woman. She is evidently very miserable.

Plus, people (by nature) like to complain (look what Moses had to deal with...), espeically if something is not just perfect to their liking, and the church crowd is ESPECIALLY susceptible to that hyper-critcal form of judgement.

Also, in my opinion it probably wouldn't matter what got changed in the instrument line up at the church, this person is so displeased and unhappy within herself ALL DAY EVERYDAY, that she will quickly look to the next issue of displeasure and start some new rant in the church.

I guess she would never think of going to a fired-up Pentecostal service where folks are jumping over the pews, and REALLY excercising their physical expression to show God how much they love him.

She is judging you falsely...

Nail it down, understand the source of such evil... and pray for your sister...

Chances are, she may be going through some very hard times... maybe has been for years, who knows... and God could use this to bring her issues to a head. Like turning up the heat of the boiling pot of gold, God could work this bitterness out of this woman.

But, then again... some people are so selfish and determined to be considered right, that she may never change. In which case, just use it to make yourself more perfect... Pray for her, love her, but don't cast your pearls before swine... because there IS a line drawn... Some folks are swine... and some are just a little lost...

Only prayer can help you determine and ascern which is the case with her.

Hahahahaha.....you said "PMS."

"We are venturing out of the direction of what Paul will tolerate."


The name of this section of the forum is "Sunday Morning Payers". It may be a bit of a stretch for me to assume this is a Christian section but I wouldn't think so. There have been plenty of Bible verses quoted in most of the threads in this section so I think it is safe to say it is a Christian section. There has also been plenty of good hearted discussion of various "ministries" with plenty of civil disagreements without any warnings from anyone.

I don't think that "James, William. 19__. Varieties of Religious Experience: a Study in Human Nature: Being the Gifford Lectures on Natural Religion Delivered at Edinburgh in 1901-1902." falls in the category of Christian discussion or in reference to "Sunday Morning Players" nor do I think there is anything wrong with stating that.

Of course I could be wrong.

[wilkat1]

Good grief, is this thread still alive?

Let's keep this discussion focused on guitar playing in worship services. It's not really the best place for correcting one another's doctrine or for deciding what fits within "correct" theology (of course, only my theology is right). Those discussions typically go nowhere productive, and can reflect poorly upon our Christian witness.

[refin]

This is the kind of "straining at gnats while swallowing camels" that fuels the common belief that the church is a life of chasing the carrot on a string while walking on eggshells.

[marvelous]

I think I can solve your moving problem......LOL. Start playing this contemporary music & that will kill all desire to move.......ROFL!.
