...that you avoid sporting activities, especially track and field events.

I see no written prohibitions from athletic competitions as there are prohibitions against traditions resembling Christmas celebrations activities.

Besides that, Paul himself used numerous athletic terms and analogies in his letters. Odd that he would use athleticism so much if it were prohibited.

My question to you is this: Do you believe that it is permisssible to practice that which was banned due to idolotry?

True but gifts, singing and fellowship are also used in both the Old Testament and New Testament. I don't recall mention of them being allowed only at certain times.

Idolotry is wrong period. However, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Please explain.
