The only yoga I like is vanilla flavored with fresh strawberries and walnuts
Most sources of "yoga" in gyms in America employ the word as a shortcut descriptor, a secular marketing tool.
If there is some form of hindu worship offered at a "yoga" class, Christians can easily avoid patronizing that type of class, and go to the one at Gold's gym just to stretch.
Don’t be queer. The church is rife with sexual predators, remember the highly esteemed Ravi Zacharias? Address the churches sexual abuse problem first otherwise you are using yoga as a scapegoat, which is a narcissistic tactic, for a much bigger problem.
“What health minded American doesn’t enjoy stretching or physical therapy. Yoga is different. It is emptying oneself so that you are open to the Kundalini (serpent) Spirit.”
I heard that years ago and agree. He mantra, the “OM” ah-oh-mm is more than a focus point, it is 3 words...
“Even though it’s usually pronounced seamlessly so it rhymes with “home,” om is made up of three syllables: A, U, and M, or, phonetically, “aaah,” “oooh,” and “mmm.” Experts say these syllables can represent a slew of trios, including: the heavens, earth, and the underworld; the Hindu gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.
A demonic storm for a mind open and emptied of thought.
Shoot ... Dad believed Barbie was evil from the get-go. Maybe ‘cause she had boobies. When she first appeared I was 11 — just a little too old for dolls so didn’t really care that I couldn’t have one.
First, you were the first to project. Not Christ like at all. Second, the church in American has a habit of excusing the adulterous behavior of men and putting the blame on everything else or covering it up. You can go from Ravi to RC Sproul’s son, Mark Driscoll, and so on. Read every man’s battle where a youth pastor rapes a teen and the author blames the girl. It’s sick and that is the state if the American church. The danger here is man’s lust and refusal to deal with that.
