How to respond to anti-dance arguments

[HelenaZF]

This kind of position can stem from the false premise that the old and new testaments are not parts of the same book. I would ask that person what was the bible used by the early church before the new testament was written? They would have to concede that it was the old testament of course, and their hymnal was the psalms which enumerate, encourage and exemplify movement as an integral part of worship. The disconnect of the old and new testaments has caused all kinds of wrong thinking in the church, and this is just one manifestation of it.



I'll let someone else tackle equating dance to the sacrificial system...but I think it's another case of apples and oranges myself.
