Is Yoga evil?

I neither said or implied in my posts that stretching was evil. (Re-read?) My point about yoga was made clear enough in my previous posts that those with discernment will understand what I said.

Then you should admit that you were not following the discussion I was having with Davida before you made the following comment.

That's the key: If people enjoy doing something and want to do it, they find a way to justify doing it. That's the real issue. That's not holy thinking but selfish thinking; and God knows what's what: they may be fooling themselves, but they aren't fooling Him. The person's heart is set on him or herself in the matter, and until that changes, they will not see the light they need to see to do what is pleasing to Him---because the person truthfully does not want to know the truth or do what is pleasing to God. A heart like that is prone to demonic deception, and evil in God's sight. Whether it's celebrating Christmas or practicing yoga, people find a way to justify doing what they want to do. It's not for God, but for themselves.

The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked.

In the comment, you are saying that since I use stretches before my sport activity, the same kind of stretching those who practice yoga use, but for different reasons, that I have selfish thinking, that I am fooling myself, that my heart is only on me, that I cannot see the light, that I don't want to know the truth or do what is pleasing to God, that my heart is prone to demonic deception and evil in Gods sight.

Talk about not not following a discussion or having discernment ...

My replies were in response to/agreement with what Davida had posted in response to you. That's all I have to say to you about this.

So, in essence, you are saying all that about my decision to stretch before climbing.  How sad to see someone with such zeal for the Lord have such a judgmental, immature demeanor towards those you do not know.   Only God can judge the heart of someone, and you are not Him.

No, I was specifically addressing the practice of yoga and why it is unacceptable for Christians to practice it, as my posts clearly state. (You can go on about this if you wish, but this is my last reply to you about it.)

No, you were doing much more than that as you admitted to being in agreement with all Davida said to me about stretching.  If you want to retract your statement, that's fine, but trying to change course mid flight does not work.  You accuse me of many vile things, now you want to cut and run as if you didn't do a thing.   You are digging yourself in deeper.

or under every rock.  God gave us common sense, it should be used.

Here are some sketches that are similar to what I do for stretches.  Show me where these stretches are following the practices of yoga.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful stretching exercises.

There is absolutely nothing demonic  of doing these stretches and are so essential to contribute to the healthy maintenance of our body, joints, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues that need to be stimulated regularly to keep in good function.

as we get older is becomes so vital to keep moving our limbs and keeping active with our bodies. Stretching is the oiling of the body that keeps our joints , muscles, tendons and connective tissue working well

I am sure that  LightShinesInTheDarkness

 would not  disagree with those stretching exercises that you presented  as demonic they are not.

I bought a calendar of a cow in yoga positions.  It was humorous, and not nearly as offensive as if I tried to do them.

The truth is many of the exercises in yoga came from physical cultural exercises in the West. I read about it in the history of yoga in the 20 century. They were taking by this yoga guru who got it from western gymnastics in the early part of the 20 century. He mix some of the traditional india yoga and the western to make it more vigorous. Having said this I know yoga is part of Hindu religion. Which worships many many gods and idols. I would check out western stretching and use what works. Many of the yoga stretching exercises are the same as the ones in yoga because like I said they were taking from the west.
