during Advent you can dance? I know this is a period of joyful anticipation, but I heard that you can not, because it is a sin. Bart
This is a question that can not be answered in one word: "yes" or "no." It was possible to do so until recently, when there was an ecclesiastical commandments: "In times of banned games do not arrange grand" - and everything was clear. The five commandments of the church was, however, recently changed, and this law no longer exists. Does this mean that in Advent or Lent can no longer go to discos?
To answer that question yourself, look, how did you get that a prohibition on the playground.
When Jesus was on earth, the Pharisees accused the disciples that he is not fasting. Then Jesus replied, "Do wedding guests mourn while the bridegroom is with them? But the time will come when they will take the groom, and then they will fast." (Matthew 9:15).
Jesus called to stand and pray that you do not miss His coming (Mt 24, 42-44), because the harsh penalty incurred by those who choose the "use of life" instead of opening up the return of Christ (Mt 24,45-51). Such
attitudes were also the first Christians, fasting and prayer are vital elements for the practice of the faith of the early Church - and so was today. Christians are people wandering into the house of the Father and the Savior wyczekującymi return.
Advent is a time of standby. Symbolic vigil for liturgical celebrations of the birth of the Son of God, but also a real stand - for the second coming of the Lord at the end of time. Therefore, before the Church is a non-subordinated commandments, and now the ban lifted, probably hoping mature Catholics. Maturity, which will show them that we give up playing in this short period of four Sundays in order to open our hearts to Christ's coming.
But we do not know when he returns. May we not waste your chance, as indicated by Jesus' contemporaries of Noah: "For as in the time before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and married seemed, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all, so also will the coming of the Son of Man. " (Mt 24,38-39). Advent renunciation of play will undoubtedly help us in ensuring that and encounter with Jesus.
We can therefore say that you can dance in Advent, and it is not a sin, as there is no ban. But this legal approach, literal and immature. Because really, anyone who can not refrain from playing during that period, you may accuse himself, that he wasted the time to prepare the soul for the Lord - staged so the danger of their faith and salvation, which is already very serious offense.
In faith, after all it is not only the question: "Is it a sin?" a rather questions: "Do not I go through this from God?", "whether it will strengthen my faith?", "if not stop me in the spiritual development ?"... It is also worth considering the temptation to go to a party during Advent.
not look so fun. Soon after the Advent will be the carnival, after all ... But - as is the faith - each chosen by the same person. And each for their own bad choices will be responsible. All Internet users wish good choices and fruitful Advent.
And do during Advent the church can get married? A ecclesiastical divorce?
