Is bodybuilding idolatry? If its only of 'little profit' why even try? Vanity is a sin, isnt it? |

2 | Is exercise Idolatry? | 1 Tim 4:8 | charis | 497 | ||
Amigo, Exercise is fine. Inflating every seperate muscle on your body for the purpose of showng your oiled skin to others or looking at your self in the mirror is indeed vain (empty). Becoming a brain-dead couch potato is not very good either. Fitness of mind and body makes sense. Extremes on either side are foolish. Even this forum is healthy if it is thought-provoking and faith-lifting. An 'over-pumped' mind is also foolish. | ||||||
3 | Sounds good, scripture (pretty) please? | 1 Tim 4:8 | soladescriptura | 861 | ||
I like your point of view, and even agree with it. Do you know of any other scripture that expresses 'our view'? | ||||||

With a cherry on top? My friend, I am honored to have agreement with you. May there be much more agreement among us, by His Spirit! About supporting scripture, I can find no 'perfect' reference. How about Ecclesiastes, where the Preacher talks about excessive toil being vanity. I suppose that in the same way you cannot take money to heaven, neither can you take big muscles. As to 'couch potatoes,' Proverbs talks about laziness. As to an 'over-pumped mind,' Jesus spoke of the dangers of over-zealous religion often, citing the Pharisees, Saducees, scribes and lawyers as being close to the Law, but far from God. Sorry for the generalities. If I come up with something specific, I will post it. Let us continue to share! In Jesus. | ||||||
