I like to dance.. by myself in my room.. when I hear a song that I love. Someone told me this past week that it is against god to dance. Is this really true?

I just can't imagine why God would be against dancing, unless it's like maybe dirty dancing. I've heard people talk about dancing in their church before, so whoever told you that must be a little confused. There are churches that don't believe in doing much of anything, but they are considered "legalistic," which is a sorry thing.

Don't concern yourself with anything like that because God will convict you through His spirit if you are doing something He isn't pleased with, or that would separate you from Him. Just dig into His Word and find out how much He loves you, and feel the joy of your Salvation.

Of course, this is just my opinion. Maybe others know something I don't know yet. GBU

2Sa 6:16 ¶ And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

Psalms 30:10-12 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper. Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Of course dancing is indeed fine and biblical. But I am sure you and I know that there is dancing and then there is the kind of dancing that is not appropriate. Common sense and your conscience should tell you the difference quite easily.

Dancing is good for the body, mind and soul!! And a whole lot of fun!

Dancing is fine as long as it isn't lap, exotic and dirty. Dancing is good for the spirit, mind as well as physical I believe it promots good health.

I dance a lot! I have danced in front of my church doing an interpretive dance and just worshiping God. As someone posted the scriptures, David danced before the Lord. In Jewish culture, dancing is a huge part of their celebrations. I would guess that Jesus danced while He walked this Earth.

This is a very interesting topic for me because I am a dancer. And I do it as a hobby and for competitions. I love to dance and I talked to God about this and he tells me its fine as long as I give him all the glory in it. He knows that I love to dance. He knows this well. But he also tells me not to allow it to alter my state of thoughts. Just always keep him first and fore most. Then he will be just fine with it.
