The Scripture quotes weren't mine, but they were good. They actually weren't whipping anything, just suggesting there is a time for joy and celebration. While we have no direct evidence of what dance in David's time may have been, we can only go by certain moral principles to determine what the form of dance might take. I suspicion that much of modern dance violates the moral principles of the Bible. Dance as depicted in the YouTubes seemed to be more of an appropriate celebration dance.

I don't think I said that no dancing should ever be done. It is a topic that perhaps need exploring. Probably there is acceptable dance and unacceptable dance for Christians and Jews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHRe9qdfLsw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYuYojyDwN4

And only God knows what's in the heart of these Praise teams!!

I agree and I wouldn't call you heathen!! I didn't see anything over the top. I also personally can see King David dancing this way I also agree, and I would say, I could be wrong, but this was not done in the worship hour!! I've never been a fan of KISS, and thought there was a big difference between there non religious song compared to what the others were singing!

5 Things You Didn't Know about the Battle of Iwo Jima On February 19, 1945, the U.S. Marines invaded the Pacific island of Iwo Jima that occupied only eight square miles. Here are five things you didn’t know about the battle that cost almost 7,000 U.S. Marine lives... The Military Campaign Lasted 36 Days Operation Detachment was the codename given to the operation to take control of Iwo Jima. Intelligence sources were convinced it would take no more than a week but did not know that Japan was planning a strong defense at the island. The 36-day battle resulted in heavy casualties and fierce fighting, which one soldier described as similar to fighting on top of a pool table since the combat area was so small. The Japanese Knew They Would Lose Control of the Island The defense of Iwo Jima was commanded by Lt. Gen. Tadamichi Kuribayashi, but although he knew that his Japanese forces could not win, he intended to have Japanese troops inflict heavy casualties, so the American military might think twice about invading Mainland Japan. He accomplished this through the use of extensive tunnels, so Japanese forces could return to areas cleared by the Marines, and by using camouflaged machine guns and snipers. U.S. Marines Suffered More Casualties Than the Japanese America lost 6,800 U.S. Marines at Iwo Jima, along with 26,000 wounded out of the 80,000 troops sent there. The Japanese had 18,844 fatalities or missing out of the 22,060 stationed on the island. This was the first time that U.S. Marine casualties were higher than those of the Japanese. A Photo Taken on the Island Won a Pulitzer Prize for the Photographer The photo of the U.S. Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima on Mount Suribachi on February 23, 1945, represented the first time a foreign flag had been raised on Japanese soil. Joe Rosenthal, an American photographer, took the photo, which won him the Pulitzer Prize for Photography. The photo became one of the iconic pictures taken during World War II. The Medal of Honor Was Awarded to 27 Men for Valor at Iwo Jima President Harry Truman signed citations for the Medal of Honor for five Navy men and 22 U.S. Marines for their conspicuous gallantry in the Battle of Iwo Jima. Those honored included four pharmacist mates who were with the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserve. Many of the medals were awarded posthumously.

5 Things You Didn't Know About The Volkswagen Beetle On February 17, 1972, Beetle overtook the Model T as the world's best-selling car, breaking the more than 40-year record held by Ford. Here are 5 things you probably didn’t know about the Volkswagen Beetle... Porsche Designed the Beetle Ferdinand Porsche, the developer of one of the world’s most popular sports cars, and his son, designed the Volkswagen Beetle. His main objectives were to design a vehicle that was inexpensive to purchase and repair, and had an air-cooled engine. The first vehicles rolled off the production line in 1939, although early production was limited due to World War II. Americans Didn’t Like the Beetle at First The Volkswagen Beetle was introduced in 1949 to the United States. However, because of World War II, Americans were leery of buying anything that was produced in Germany, and only two cars were purchased that year. By the time the 1960s rolled around, the Beetle had become extremely popular, and 570,000 were purchased in the United States in 1970. The Legendary Volkswagen Began in Nazi Germany It was German Chancellor Adolf Hitler who commissioned a “people’s car” in 1937, which could carry five people. The first factory to produce Volkswagens was in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the town itself was built for the employees who would be building the cars. Estimates for the first Volkswagens were in reichsmarks but would have ranged in American dollars from $140 up to $250 at the time. It Isn’t Called the Beetle Worldwide The Volkswagen Beetle wasn’t called a Beetle at first, but the name became popular after it was referred to by that name in 1938 in an article published by The New York Times. In France, it is called the French word for ladybug; in Italian, it translates to Beetle, just as in the United States. The nickname in Bolivia is turtle; and in Indonesia, it is called the frog. The Volkswagen Beetle Has Appeared in Many Movies Most people are familiar with Herbie, the Volkswagen Beetle that appeared in a number of Disney movies, including The Love Bug in 1969, Herbie Rides Again in 1974 and Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2005. However, the VW Beetle appears in a number of movies, from Vertigo and Steven King's The Shining to Footloose and The Big Lebowski, which highlights its popularity with the American public over the years.
