so you can tell what my mum's motives are, can you?

None bowed down to baal with a motive of worshiping YHWH.

It is an undeniable fact that yoga is a form of worship and the only motive is to achieve mukthi.

You forget the fact that every single move have a meaning with the intent of worshiping and have union with the devil.

Even if you don't have an intent of worship, why do you want to do something that is calling the devil?

  • Do you practice witchcraft and all occult practices with intent for hobby?
  • Do you have idol of baal in your home with the intent of admiring sculptural architecture?
  • Do you practice astrology as a pure professional job?
So, why so you think yoga can be practiced as an exercise?
 
I can see this really is a passionate thing with you.

Never forget one third of the bad angels are with the devil and two thirds of the lords. Angels, Jesus and the holy spirit are with us. We do not fear or bow to other gods. Whatever Yoga was in the past doesn't matter.
You have to trust the power of Jesus defeated the devil at the cross. A yoga class Can be harmless in most ways for this reason.


If christians were easy defeated,Christianity would not dominate the world as the biggest religion. Nothing stands in the way of our God. Whatever the devil tries,it has limited success. If I go to a yoga class It won't take us, we know the power of god. And we know we may also share what we know there.

Christians move in the power of the lord we live in a world where darkness can be but we don't be fearful of it. We live with an annoying but defeated enemy. sorry mate but that thinking keeps me encouraged.

Christ defeated the devil at the cross does not mean you can go and do things what pagans do to worship. That is spiritual adultery.

have you been to a yoga class where the hindu side of it is taught?

Yeah and I told them there about Jesus. Because people who go to things sometimes are looking for real things in thier life.

I was loooking for exercise to help with back pain. I don't care about false gods It is water off a ducks back. when it is over it is a time to share about what we know.

how can i share at home all safe?


Sory mate I am passionate about this and dont feel threatened by eastern religions that offer nothing in comparison to the god I know.
respectful as I am, given an opportunity to use one of their idols to the rat god I would stick it under the trailer wheel in the shed to stop it from moving. It is about all it is good for!

ok, well then that is like then going to the local kashi-ashram cult and running with them as they pray. i can also go to yoga but NOT if they teach the hindu aspect of it with the chakras.my mma gym has yoga classes. i know the instructor she DOESN'T teach the spiritual side of it even though she has been trained in india for that whole deal. I cant as a believer go to a hindu temple and learn their yoga.

now then as a man who has been well into the the occult and its gifts have never departed from me. i , rather, choose to ignore them why would i want to tempt myself with deep meditation? i have astral projected(didnt know that i did that) and seen auras. seen spirits.

so for me what you have said is too risky. it even happens at times when i have done martial arts which is yoga in motion at times. as all martial to include mma have elvolved from. kata is a form of meditation and all of that has that center breathing and motion from yoga!

If you have back pain, you should have called upon the name of the Living God. Not practice a pagan worship in the name of exercise to justify yourself that you tell about Jesus to them.
 
mma uses the yoga exercises alot. it makes one "guard" real effective. my back would love yoga but here they are set for the retirees time of doing things.

that and many of the instructors are well tree hugging and liberals and christian hating all in one. i dont mind those that are well "green" so long as its balanced.
 
Of the ones doing yoga, I wonder how many have ever even heard they are trying to reach some nirvana....... ;)

Isn't it about what's in YOUR own heart and mind? I excercise and I can tel you, people will interpret it and make it into something it's not.

felix, no disrespect intended, but I think you are letting your emotions based on your experiences guide you here.

Yoga CAN be just plain ol stretching and calesthenics....

Just like karate can be plain ol self defense.....OR, it can be some weird form of trying to achieve a god-like state as well.

As for the bowing....we shake hands....they bow.

thanks i was going to head into that. here well the dojos teach the "spiritual" side of it all too much imho.
 
Guys I have done it and nothing bad has happened to me. Nothing changed in my faith. my back needed stretches and at the time yoga helped.

I also needed flexibility to pass a pre employment medical. the yoga class helped. I felt the lord provided there. I sure didn't think my god provided me with demons despite attending a yoga class I know Jesus is lord and is all powerful.


I think this whole demon yoga thing verges on unjustified superstition.

With that realization you'll do just fine. Driving a car can be bad if my intentions are evil.....that doesn't make any and all car driving automatically evil by default.

The excercises that focus on the spiritual part I would avoid like the plague.

Talking about blowing this out of proportion.

Absolutely false!

Whether or not yoga was originally intended for pagan enlightenment (or whatever we're going with here) or even if that is prominate in yoga's practise, that doesn't mean that one cannot simply do the exercises for the purpose of exercising. My mum liked the exercises they did at the yoga class, where nothing spiritual went on at all. She commented that the class was a particularly physical class. Whether or not this is the exception doesn't matter.

Even if you don't have an intent of worship, why do you want to do something that is calling the devil?
It's not calling the devil if he's not involved.

  • Do you practice witchcraft and all occult practices with intent for hobby?
  • Do you have idol of baal in your home with the intent of admiring sculptural architecture?
  • Do you practice astrology as a pure professional job?
So, why so you think yoga can be practiced as an exercise?
I don't really have enough experience with witchcraft to comment on that. But I don't practise it.

No I don't have an idol of baal in my house. I don't think it would be a great idea to, but if I was realy into architecture, then maybe. I certainly would feel unconfortable about it. But I'm not going to berate a Christian brother who is into architecture and admires said idol. Doesn't mean he worships it.

Astrology's just silly.

Look mate, if you have a problem with yoga, then fine, don't do it. But don't berate Christians who like yoga exercises.

If you wish to continue imposing your legality on me, then we're done here.

We haven't agreed on very much, but I definately agree here! :thumbsup

I'm sure that some thing I do every day can be interpreted by another culture as idol worshipping. But you know what? I love God and wish to serve Him. It's the heart.
