There is a very large problem with your argument and perhaps you cannot see it.
You are presuming that every use of part of yoga (physical positions) is equivalent to what formerly was used in religious practice.
By this same standard, I suspect you do not eat candy at Halloween, nor dress up, nor carve pumpkins, nor decorate a Christmas tree, nor use the current names of months, nor days, etc.
Discernment should involve the ability to discern what is religious practice and what is simply eating meat because it is just meat. Or exercise because it is just exercise. Or dressing up because it is just a fun way to get candy.
"4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.7 However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.
9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. 10 For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol’s temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols? 11 For through your knowledge he who is weak is ruined, the brother for whose sake Christ died. 12 And so, by sinning against the brethren and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. 13 Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble. (I Corinthians 8)
Eating meat sacrificed to idols is not a sin - according to an Apostle, according to the words inspired by God in Scripture. Despite the meat previously being used in pagan ceremonies. It remains just meat.
If you are a weaker brother, you should not eat meat sacrificed to idols - or participate in yoga, nor do anything that causes you to fall. Is this an accurate description of you in regards to the issue of yoga?
I've also occasionally experienced Christians who are just judgemental brothers, who cannot abide by Paul's instructions - nor abide by other Christians who have liberty. That is a whole different issue.
In this case, I don't know which camp you might fall into with your post.
In either case, I certainly wish you the best as you follow Christ and your own conscience.
Um... do you own a yoga studio or something?
I think your studying to show yourself approved should concentrate on errant Hindu beliefs about yoga, not inverting the “weaker brother” argument about meat with me.
Do your homework on the spiritual entities and entreaties involved with yoga and get back to me, instead of picking vain arguments comparing it to Halloween.
You are aware of the “kundalini” infiltration of these types of entities in the modern church, right?
You do believe in an actual devil as Jesus taught, correct?
