Don't think she would have approved the music & the dancing in the aisles. Then again, newspaper reports of her activities at the same age. . . .were much worse. LOL ~J9 | ||

The Chinese dragon on the stage isn't pagan one bit....yeah right! Wonder what Ellen would think of that? | ||

Hah! I noticed the dragon too ;) My friend who posted it on facebook said it was "gymnastics" that they were doing. :/ | ||

GYMNASTICS!?!? It looks more like line dancing to me b/c they were all doing the same moves. Diana L | ||

Now that you've had a chance to watch the video with sound, go back and watch it without sound. It takes on a whole different look. It looks as though they are worshiping the dragon on the stage. ;) | ||

SDA getting closer to mainstream evangelicals? Shedding some of their taboos? Leaving old prejudices behind? This could be the start of something good, couldn't it? Hec | ||

Hec, when I saw this I thought to myself that one of the perks of this is that these kids obviously are not convicted of EGW teachings. Perhaps if they are exposed to them one day they too will leave. | ||

I don't know what the heck that was (give me a break- I'm a soon to be 69 years ooold!) but looked like fun and certainly a radical departure from traditional (read BORING) Adventism BUT...BUT...BUT... will any of this bring those enthusiastic kids one scintilla closer to the Gospel?

It actually made me smile to see them having fun(like college kids should!). And it does make me question, just how much DO they really know about the foundations of the sda church? I hope Free2dance is right | ||

Leighpinski, I was smiling too. I like the David Crowder song they used. I felt a combination of feeling good about them enjoying the freedom to dance without all the condemnation, and anger and sadness that they don't even know what they are actually prisoner to. Some might say, well, if they are dancing then they are obviously not prisoners of the strange teachings. But the dancing is only an outward symptom, so insignificant compared to what they are truly a prisoner of. The demonic doctrine that denies them the truth about their true natural state and what Christ came to do, and what is truly required for entrance into God's kingdom, THAT is the prison. It's like anything, a marriage in trouble who can only see that they need a date night will continue to be in trouble if all they do is schedule a regular date night. It is only fixing a symptom of a bigger problem. Dancing, is fun, and good when done appropriately, but dancing without Christ never stays appropriate when no one is looking. What these kids need more than freedom to have fun, is Jesus Christ in them-- and that is what they are being denied with SDA culture and doctrine. They just have no idea. | ||

See, I think all this is another way the enemy keeps people in adventism and away from Jesus. I know some VERY liberal adventists...but they still have that tie to the church, and they still haven't found Jesus, but they don't know it...after all, they are in the true church. I wish I could see this as a positive developement, but I don't. That being said, God can bring good out of it, too. And if some of these people do see the truth, and leave, i hope they have less baggage from adventism than I do. |
