August 5, 200917 yr I never claimed to know anything about them. But I didn't accuse them of disrespecting the church either, did I? Ahh..makes sense huh? :lol: :thumb:
August 5, 200917 yr So I guess no marriages should take place in church? Since you should only worship there?The marriage ceremony is a form of worship.
August 5, 200917 yr I never claimed to know anything about them. But I didn't accuse them of disrespecting the church either, did I? Ahh..makes sense huh? :lol: So I guess no marriages should take place in church? Since you should only worship there? And you did judge them. You said they were basically disrespecting the church...that sure seems like you are judging them for their actions. What part of an opinion are you having trouble understanding? If you don't understand that a marriage is a form of worship, there's no point discussing it with you. It's a holy union between a man and a woman before God and his people if that helps. No, I gave my opinion, like you're doing now. So by your standard of judgment you are judging me. Pot meet kettle.
August 5, 200917 yr I don't see how that can be anything but disrespectful in a church, but to each his own. What's next, Popping and Locking at a funeral mass?If that's what the person wants...what's wrong with it? It's their funeral.
August 5, 200917 yr I have been to churches where there were comedy shows, skits, etc.; so I don't really see what is so wrong with this. Weddings stink anyways...at least these people had fun with it.

August 5, 200917 yr :ohbrother:Sorry if I believe in minding my own business and allowing someone to have their last wishes.
August 5, 200917 yr This whole thread has a "Footloose" feel to it. I tend to agree that it was a little tacky but obviously the church was okay with it and that is what the bride and groom wanted so I think it is fine. For some reason I think God won't see it as disrespectful and has more concerns than a wedding party dancing down the aisle at a church.

August 5, 200917 yr Author Oh, OK, so if I go to your church and dance down the aisle to my seat or pew, dance down the aisle to communion, and dance down the aisle as I leave you, your preacher/priest, the congregation and you would think that just fine and dandy? Somehow, I doubt it. Somehow I think I'd be asked to knock it off or not come back. According to Scripture this is how we will act in Heaven when worshipping God. I would have no problem with you doing this and expressing your love for God and His Son! I have danced, held my hands up while singing, clapped and thoroughly embarrassed my teenage daughter while worshipping.

Where does it say that the ONLY way to give Christ's message is a 20-minute sermon with 3 points on how to apply it to your life. Christ used many different ways to get his messages across. As a Deacon of Outreach, I search tirelessly for methods to get that message across.

It's a holy union between a man and a woman before God and his people if that helps. If this true, what do you have to say about civil sevice weddings that take place at the courthouse or in a backyard where no minister is involved? Are these not a holy union between a man and a women? If not, then is ok to dance into these weddings?

If this true, what do you have to say about civil sevice weddings that take place at the courthouse or in a backyard where no minister is involved? Are these not a holy union between a man and a women? If not, then is ok to dance into these weddings? How about the ones where a imitation Elvis marries them?

While I agree with you on the italicized, that is not going to be a popular opinion in this country with the push to legalize any form of marriage that a person wants.
