Why You Should Stay Away from Yoga
We are exicted by messages of yoga’s peaceful and healthful benefits, is the true origins of this type of lifestyle.“These are postures that are offered to the 330 million Hindu gods.
Yoga postures really are; they are offerings to the gods. If you do these postures and you do this breathing technique and this meditation, then you will be accepted by a god, little
“Romans 12:1-2 says we are to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice to God,”
“Here they are doing something very similar with these postures to their 330 million gods, and it is scary. So we abstain from things offered to idols—Acts 15:29.”
“Here they are doing something very similar with these postures to their 330 million gods, and it is scary. So we abstain from things offered to idols—Acts 15:29.”
In yoga they do what they call pranayama breathing. Prana is the Hindu word for life force, the same concept as the word chi in some martial arts. Yoga breathing attempts to manipulate that life energy, because I think that we are coming out from under the blood of Jesus when we do stuff like that, and we are no match for the enemy in those areas. I think of what Paul said in Ephesians 2:2, that Satan is the prince of the power of the air.
My concern in yoga is the concept of emptying the mind, which is contradictory to what Christianity teaches. “We are transformed by the renewing of our minds”
Along with emptying the mind, yoga guides people into astral travel, which is where people actually leave their bodies “I wonder with those experiences when I left my body what got in there when I was gone? “As a Christian with the Holy Spirit in there, we are not going to be possessed, I don’t think. But one could easily be oppressed.”
Clearly, with this understanding of yoga, Christians should think twice before heading to the local gym for a yoga class. But if you are a Christian who thinks it’s all right to attend yoga classes because you think you are strong enough not to fall prey to the spiritual deception that’s being taught and you enjoy the physical benefits, If you go to a yoga class, chances are they might be inspired to go also, and they could fall completely off track in their walk with God.
