1 | Why is yoga bad, please back up with scr | Bible general Archive 1 | EdB | 63662 | ||
Winfieldd While I'm not an expert on Yoga. I do believe a major discipline within yoga is mediation, where the mind is cleared and “deep” spiritual thoughts are sought or allowed. Scripture tells us otherwise. Philip. 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. Yoga is also a major part of most Eastern false religions. Buddhism, Hinduism, Rajneeshism and TM. Tim was correct Yoga is not mentioned in the Bible so it would be very hard to find scripture that specifically condemns it. However Philip. 4:8 certainly teaches against the clearing of the mind aspects of it. I have found that many times the “profound truths” that are discovered during such experiences are not so much profound truths as they are demonic lies. EdB |

Dear Winfieldd, Without repeating what has been said by others, let me offer some additional wisdom from scripture. EdB already mentioned Phil. 4:8 which would be my initial reference. In Proverbs 22:17 it says,"Incline your ear and hear the words of the wise,And apply your MIND to My knowledge". Romans 12:2 says,"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your MIND, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect". And finally, in 2 Cor 10:5 "...destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and taking every THOUGHT captive to the obedience of Christ". Again, though there is no direct scriptural prohibition against Yoga I would caution that "we wrestle not against flesh and blood...against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Eph.6:12). Satan is very real and can influence someone who opens their mind to his system. Because of that, we need to always be on guard. Hope this helps in some way. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
