“Let’s Twist Again” is a song written by Kal Mann and Dave Appell. It was released as a single by Chubby Checker. One of the biggest hit singles of 1961, it reached number one. I was only nine at the time, but I spent the next few years doing the twist with anyone who would twist with me. You wouldn’t find me performing that today because I would look ridiculous.
However, there were individuals in the early church doing the twist. Peter had to address the subject because it was leading too many astray.
2 Peter 3:16
As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
Chubby Checker probably didn’t hurt anyone with his new form of exercise, but new gyrations can be detrimental to the young. The twist promoted by false teachers that Peter addressed was hurtful, and today’s twist by false teachers is as well.
Think about it before it stimulates your soul.
