Adventistische Schriften über: "Was sagte Ellen White über David, der vor der Bundeslade tanzte?"

Ellen White betont, dass Davids Tanz vor der Bundeslade kein Vorbild für moderne Tanzformen sein kann. Sie beschreibt ihn als Ausdruck frommer Freude und Ehre Gottes, der sich deutlich von der weltlichen Dissipation unterscheidet. In einem weiteren Kontext wird berichtet, wie David vor Freude über die Rückkehr der Bundeslade tanzte, was von seiner Frau Michal als Demütigung empfunden wurde.

David's Tanz als kein Vorbild für modernes Tanzen

»David's dancing in reverent joy before God has been cited by pleasure lovers in justification of the fashionable modern dance, but there is no ground for such an argument. ... The music and dancing in joyful praise to God at the removal of the ark had not the faintest resemblance to the dissipation of modern dancing. The one tended to the remembrance of God and exalted His holy name. The other is a device of Satan to cause men to forget God and to dishonor Him.«

Beschreibung von Davids Tanz und Michals Kritik

»“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.” ... David felt that it was the service of God which Michal had despised and dishonored, and he sternly answered: “It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord. And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.”«
