Church bans yoga from premises because it’s ‘non-Christian’
Metro UK ^ | May 10th 2017 | Rob Waugh

Posted on 05/20/2017 9:29:05 AM PDT by LouieFisk

Villagers say they’ll boycott St David’s Church, in Blaenporth, Ceredigion, Wales, in protest.

Church bosses say pilates is OK, but not yoga, which ‘might be seen to be in conflict with Christian values and belief’.

Great posts AW

My rib in yoga gear on my homepage will not wear her yoga pants in everyday running around

She thinks it’s lazy fashion

And she gets leers and catcalls the one time she did just to run to the shell station

But she wears them well at half century plus two

It’s a testament that yoga creates a great bod for the diligent

I did not however realize she was an agent of the Dark Prince

But I can’t say I’m surprised

The first apple and all you know

By the notion of some here spiritual martial arts are the work of the devil as well

Nothing else? I don’t see any name calling at all.
You can’t even be honest about that.

“American “yoga” is to Hindu yoga as American “pizza” is to pizza Napolitana.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I enjoy my pizza, but it’s not quite a prescribed religious practice specific to one religion. When it does become such a specific religious practice, get back to me.

Yer welcome. I don’t know anyone who likes finding out they’re doing something that is wrong. We humans have a tendency to offer up excuses instead of making a corrective change. So getting some blowback goes with the territory.

Has the Hinduism been completely purged from yoga in Christian churches? Who knows. Very good arguments have been made here, yours and many others.

But we risk missing the most important point. Because the rest of this discussion really doesn’t matter.

There is no amount of yoga, Hinduism or devils that can move against you if you’re in Christ our Lord and Savior. Trust in the Lord, turn from the ways of the world and accept the Lord’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and raised on the third day in fulfillment of the Holy Scriptures.

I agree, but why allow Pontius Pilates?

On that we agree!

Because it helps to exorcise.

Yoga being witchcraft, it makes perfect sense to me.

They are God haters.

Easter and christmas are deeply pagan.

Christmas is the time of the year for suicides. A very demonic period.

Sorry, but no one’s been able to show that yoga is not a Hindu religious practice. They can’t, because it is.

The ironically sad part here is a guy arguing for embracing Hindu religious practice having “greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” in a his profile - unless the guy is referring to Brahma there, of course.

>> “There are mainline churches here with Christian governed yoga” <<

Satan rules!

Your church is “mainlining” satan.

Passover is for everyone; christmas is for sacrificing your firstborn to the fire.
