I don't think that is going to cut it with God, and it is teaching the young that it is. If you act a certain way but believe another way it doesn't work. If your beliefs never develop into any action it doesn't work God says so. Look at the story of Daniel. He said no, I won't eat your food. He said no, I won't bow to the symbol of your government.

I was talking about her brother. Ok, I said maybe "you", but I mean her or her brother or mother, whatever. I went to church this morning, and the preacher said that when he went to school, he was made to do things against the family's religion. The school would not change the situation, and even after his parent's talked to the school, they refused. So, he said his parents took him out of the school and put him in another school. If this boy does not like to do the things the school asks him because of religious reasons, and no matter WHO talks to them the school will not change, he is not forced to stay in that school. He has the freedom to leave that school and go to another school that suits him better.

Ask your brother- "What would God want you to do? Would God prefer you to do the dance for the marks or to decline doing the dance?"
Read him the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, from Daniel chapter 1-3. They were willing to give their lives not to bow down before a false God. Then ask him what he thinks he should do and I think his answer will reveal something about where his heart is it in relation to God.
I would pull my kid out of school for this. I don't see it as a little thing- God wouldn't want us doing something like this.

I think this would fall under worshiping idols or other gods....which God made clear in the Ten Commandments that we were not to do.
The teacher may not have any idea what Christian teachings are. This would be a good opportunity to politely and calmly educate her
. Maybe it would be helpful for your parents to go to the teacher and politely explain why this goes against your Christian beliefs. Remember...she is living in the dark but you are living in the light. When we share our light, the darkness disappears.

When I was a senior in high school I did a group project on Hinduism. We had to do a ceremony for the presentation and I told the teacher I couldn't do it. It's illegal for you to be marked down for not participating based on religious objection. As a freshman I refused to read some of the books. I was always given another assignment.

Your brother did the wrong thing unfortunately !
The Holy Spirit cannot bless iniquity ! Your brother soothed his mind with lies ! Your brother should repent about the pagan dance he did, and about the slander he did to the Holy Spirit !
Daniel's three friends refused to worship the golden statute of Nebuchadnezzar, and they were condemned to death ! But the Lord protected them with an angel, and the King repented of his iniquity. Your brother should have done the same thing, and his teacher may have repented of her iniquity ! It was a great occasion for your brother to bring a living faith's testimony to his pagan teacher, and he missed it !
Next time his teacher wish to do the same thing, he should do the right thing ! Fear of men is a trap !

Maybe, just trust God in and through all this, that God will come through. You know somehow after the cross, it has not gone away and many a men have tried. The longest lasting truth has stayed in the forefront.
I think God knows what God is about and we just don't understand this in usually wanting our own way(s)
It kind of like taking a mirror and breaking that mirror on the ground, only picking up a piece or a few only seeing part of the picture. When the whole picture in the mirror needs to be put back together and this is done through Faith in God and exercising that belief in God. So ask God to put all the pieces together in you and fro you and see the new life he has for you, and stand fast in God trusting God to lead you in this
As he told his disciples
[h=3]Matthew 10:16-20[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. [SUP]17 [/SUP]But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; [SUP]18 [/SUP]and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. [SUP]19 [/SUP]But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. [SUP]20 [/SUP]For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
