Why do Christians think yoga is evil?

Western yoga is like some spiritual cult, you never see women from India doing it in the USA for a reason.

no they dont first ive ever heard that...

i stopped reading at "Baptist"

because of hinduism

Yeah and religion in its self is not a cult.. rofl..

My understanding is that Yoga practice ultimately raises the kundalini, which is essentially the gateway to satan-land.

The tree of knowledge of good and evil planted in the center of the garden is the spinal chord planted in the hip and the branches and leaves are the brain. The forbidden fruit is the pineal gland, and the serpent is the kundalini urging you and tempting you to try to become like God.

This is akin to choosing your own ego versus the providence of God.

You can try to manifest your Earthly desires or you can trust that your needs are covered by God's love and care.

If you're going it alone, you essentially by default align yourself with Satan, the chief principality of "going it alone" for the ego on Earth. This is his world to rule, so if you choose it versus God, you are in league with Satan, whether you declare it or not.

haha - Religion (the 3 Abrahamic religions in particular) is the most evil, deceptive cult of all.

You were talking to a dumb ass who happened to be baptist.

It would seem your minds are quite infected with mind parasites!!! I do 5 specific yoga moves each day. Why? To keep my body limber and flexible!! You people are down right morons!!

Check out the exercises and then please explain to me what the fuck is satanic about them. You people are so damn brainwashed it's down right frightening!!

Ooh nice solarbulb

nothing satanic about exercizing..

what pure drivel, imo. Any belief system like that is designed to control and restrict free well.

We ARE God. get it?

Im a Christian, anything can be good or evil it is what you make it I like Yoga

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak

the term yoga can be derived from either of two roots, yujir yoga (to yoke) or yuj samādhau (to concentrate).

for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light

Listen, ass, I'm not arguing for or against this belief nor do I give one shit what you believe.

The question was asked, I'm giving the answer.

What you do with it I couldn't possibly care less.

Interesting post

Is this some Christian, Jewish or Muslim definition? Sounds so culty.

Yoga means union. So if drinking tea, and you enjoy tea ceremonies, and they bring you peace and into union with yourself. Then that's your yoga.

My understanding is that kundalini or 'the raising of kundalini', is done primarily through breathwork, not the act of 'western' yoga. Yoga does incorporate breathwork and the more it is practiced the better and deeper the breathwork becomes. But by and large, western yoga that a 'Baptist' (don't mean to stereotype, just referring to this thread) would know is an exercise form of yoga or a stretching form.

The human body is a wonderful thing and can become weak, sick and broken without maintenance. Some yogi must have learned/taught yoga a long-ass time ago primarily for spiritual reasons but it has many benefits.

IMO the will to practice of yoga is ones desire to balance mind, spirit and body in a calm, yet physically challenging way. That shouldn't be feared or misunderstood.

What about the coccyx? Where does that fit into God's creation/plan. It seems the tail bone could be explained away as some designed structure rather than a functional one. The human spine as a whole is poorly designed for bipedal stance, which brings us back to yoga which aligns, strengthens and corrects the skeletal framework.

I stopped doing yoga for years because of this and my back pain was horrific. I began to pray about it and for me, I feel in my heart that it is okay. I do not do kundalini yoga because that does not feel right, for me. I am not trying to be godlike in any way. There is only one God. I have been to physical rehabilitation and many of the stretches I learned are from yoga. I think most importantly is what God tells you what to do and
what not to do.

I don't believe you liar!

Because it just is Satanic... narcissistic.

good account.

If trying to maintain yourself is narcissistic, then that sounds like an excuse to be a lazy shit.

anything outside the bable to a christfag is satanic.

Someday christians, muslims, jews, will realize they were the evil they were bitching about all along.

You are playing with spirits that are satanic in the yoga thing. One opens themselves up to being played with at best and being full on attacked and possibly possessed at worst. It is not wise to do this. We are not supposed to do this kind of thing.

^ what I say?

Christians are the epitome of hypocrisy.

Stretching cause satanic spirits to possess you? Maybe later we can go down to the town square and burn some witches dumbass.

Pineal gland doesn't make anyone god, shitbrains.

Almost everything we do praises us and our egos above God.

Examples : cars, money , big elaborate houses, jewelry , fancy clothes, status, title, yachts, airplanes, bombs, guns, etc etc :-)

Lol face it we love ourselves and our creations.
