That's ridiculous. And I'll thank you to not make this a political argument. God is angry over the general amount of godliness of the world. Don't forget that to God the worst sin there is idolatry. Look at all the people who call themselves Christians but they live like the heathen do. These people like to read their horoscope in magazines, they love Harry Potter, they practice some form of yoga, and they celebrate Halloween, just to name a few things. Then there's the facts that we legalized abortion some 50 yrs ago and then Obama legalized homosexuality. Furthermore the Bible says we're supposed to obey our governmental leaders. Donald Trump is the only president in our history who has been hated for so long after his election. This is wrong. And we Christian people are supposed to be showing the world what love looks like. Most are not doing this. I could go on but I won't.

What's wrong with yoga, its just an exercise n breathing control.

I truly belive this is our punishment for electing Donald Trump. And I’m not talking about choosing him over Hillary, I’m talking about choosing him over the sixteen other people who ran against him in the primary. He thanked Christians for his win. And he’s probably going to win again.

Did India vote for Trump that they must bear this calamity.

The Revelation locust army will make the locusts in India look like cute little grasshoppers.  They will cause much misery, but they will not harm those who belong to Christ. 
 

Revelation 9:1-10 NKJV

9 Then the fifth angel sounded: And I saw a star fallen from heaven to the earth.  To him was given the key to the bottomless pit.  And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace.  So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit.  Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.  And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.   They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.   And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man.  In those days men will seek death and will not find it; they will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were crowns of something like gold, and their faces were like the faces of men.  They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.  And they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running into battle.  They had tails like scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men five months. ¹¹ And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is  Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name  Apollyon.

Not for the wise virgins alrdy taken to the Wedding Feast of the Lamb, only for the foolish ones.

I thought it was already legal. In my life time I have not heard of anyone being arrested and or jail for being a homosexual.   Besides that, it is really  none of my business.

I read Harry Potter and go trick or treating. Are you including me in this heathen living?  Is it my fault the locust are swarming India?

It's not just exercise. When used as a mere exercise it isn't as bad as it is when you start chanting along with the poses, but it's still of the evil. Each of the yoga poses is meant to glorify a different foreign god. You also need to learn that the foreign gods, the ones our God hates, are real spirit entities. Too many Christians know little to nothing about the spirit realm. The quickest way to learn is to listen to some of the Dr. Michael Heiser videos, especially the ones that explain what the divine council was. I said was because it may not be what it was 2000+ years ago. This divine assembly is mentioned often in the OT. We get one little peek into it in the book of Job. It was a little bit like our United States Congress, except unlike in our country God could over ride a decision of the divine council anytime He wanted to. God is Sovereign and supreme, unlike our president. You really need to learn about this. We aren't allowed to post links to videos except in the video sections, otherwise I would. There is an excellent video about yoga called "Barbie's Yoga Challenge: demon worship for kids". Just go to You Tube and search for the title I gave you and you will learn why yoga is not conducive with being a Christian. You might also consider that if yoga wasn't a bad thing, then why is it such an important part of the New Age? You can't even be a bonafide New Ager unless you practice yoga. It's almost like saying you're a Christian but you hate that guy Jesus the Christ. You can't do that, it doesn't make sense.

If you truly be a Christian it is part of your business. It's against God.

If you can't remember it being illegal you must be younger than I thought. Back in 2008 I had a discussion with a 35 yr. old fellow worker concerning homosexuality. He was against male homosexuality but not between women. I thought that odd so I asked him why? His answer was because female homosexuality was always both legal and widely accepted by everyone. This is all he ever knew. But I knew of when our country was different and neither male nor female homosexuality was accepted. You remind me of my ole co-worker. Homosexuality only became legal in the years Obama was president, but it had been gradually gaining acceptance for at least 50 years. Our God refers to it as an abomination. That's the same word God uses to describe abortion.

Homosexuality 

I have no clue what  locust in India have to do with homosexuality being legal in the US.  I am not sure if I want to explore the topic of homeosexuality in the US, since  I thought this thread was about locust attacking India.  But lets explore this for a moment. If God is so angry that , as you say  for sake of argument; Obama legulized homeosexuality in the US.  Then why would God send locusts to attack India?  It seems to me that you greatly dislike the fact that gay people have the right to be gay. And so you are going to blame any kind of disaster on the fact that it is not against the law to be gay in the US. Even if the disaster is taking place in a country other than the US.

You know greed is a sin as well. How come greedy people never get blamed for God's punishments in the form of weather disasters and earthquakes? I never hear people say "God is punishing us for the sin of greed."  All I ever hear spouted off is stuff like you are saying.  Anyway, I am sure this is going to open up a whole new conversation on here. And again. I still have no clue what any of it has to do with locust attacking India.

So........What you are saying is God is sending locusts to attack India because some Christians in the US are doing yoga?
