just back from hospital ... 3am in the morning, brother admitted into hospital kpj klang ... bloody urine ==

Tq ngai, Yes tried Yoga since 6 years back. I even has the book of yoga for scoliosis.

I need to have a lot of determination to repeteadly repeat the same posture again and again. It's the mental strength that i don't have. I don't much bother about religion / kundalini attached to yogo, cuz my Jesus is much more bigger than anything else.

Also there are at least 20 styles and all of them can consume up to 1 to 2 hours daily. I simply don't have time and courage to do this "narrow path" you know what i mean hehehe... :-)

that is correct. the poses. the article below is pretty long but sums it up nicely. its not as innocent as it seems.

What Is Yoga?

Yoga (/ˈjo�ɡə/; Sanskrit: योग, Listen) are the physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to transform body and mind. The term denotes a variety of schools, practices and goals in Hinduism, Buddhism (including Vajrayana and Tibetan Buddhism and Jainism,[ the best-known being Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. The term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of "yoking together" a span of horses or oxes, but came to be applied to the "yoking" of mind and body.

Yoga: noun - A mystic and ascetic Hindu discipline by which one seeks to achieve liberation of the self and union with the supreme spirit or universal soul through intense concentration, deep meditation, and practices involving prescribed postures, controlled breathing, etc.;

a system of exercising involving the postures, breathing, etc. practiced in this discipline.

A Christian who studies the Word of God, should instantly see red flags and discern that yoga and Christianity are not compatible.

We see in the definition: “Yoga is the physical, mental and spiritual practices or disciplines that aim to transform body and mind.” What does God say about transforming our minds?

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2).

We know that the practice of yoga is rooted in Hinduism and Buddhism. As Christians, do we want to open up our minds to something that will transform us to be more like Hindus or Buddhists? Ok, when we see it in black and white, it seems unthinkable. But this is exactly what practicing yoga is accomplishing in your life.

“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”

(Proverbs 14:12).

Next we see in the definition - The term yoga is derived from the literal meaning of “yoking together” a span of horses or oxes, but came to be applied to the “yoking” of mind and body.

Another red flag should easily be seen by a student of the Word. Let’s see what God says about being yoked together:

“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

The picture of oxen being yoked together is used by both yoga and the Word. In yoga, the goal is for mind and body to be yoked together. It’s a Hindu discipline to bring mind and body into submission - but to what end? 

Were you aware that every yoga pose is a posture of worship to various Hindu gods? In this way, the person is making offerings to millions of Hindu deities! Of course, these details are left off of the “Welcome pamphlet” in yoga centers. People are going there to stretch and relax and be energized, right?

The Kundalini Spirit

In an interview with Dave Hunt of the Berean Call (Dave is now with our Lord) the subject of the Kundalini spirit was addressed:

In spite of the advertisements and talk about health and fitness yoga’s real goal is to awaken Kundalini power, coiled like a serpent at the base of the spine, ready to spring up to manifest itself through the alleged chakras, (centers of universal force) of the body.” Now, what exactly is Kundalini yoga, or Kundalini power, for that matter?

Dave Hunt:

Well, to put it bluntly, it’s demonic. There is no way you can explain it physically, it’s a non physical force. There certainly is nothing coiled at the base of the spine, three and one-half times coiled like a serpent that’s going to spring up when you get in the proper state of consciousness, supposedly. This is the same occult power that all the occultists are in touch with, or try to be in touch with.

In yoga, the student is told to empty their minds to prepare for meditation. An empty mind is exactly what Satan likes. See what God says about meditation:

“Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer” (Psalm 19:14).

I half expect someone to come in screaming,

you all are fake christian, fake teachers, you all going to end in HE double hockey stick, bla bla bla. 
sorry man, can't help it.     

I once like theaccountant before. So pretty much i know how he will be in the end. Out of GOD's love to me, GOD has to break me first. Literally break me in everything imagegineable lah... including this scoliosis. I was also stubborn. I rebuke a lot of people as well. It's my hobby to rebuke people and GOD has to break me.

Now i still like to rebuke people, correcting their mind / teaching, but only when GOD authorized, then i minister. In pulpit once i yelled, but i cannot yelled everytime.  Not everything is my portion Jesus says.

I'm not denying you of everything, there is a place for correction and to be warned of the dangers in Life.

When you talk about 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, you need to take the entire context of it, 1 Corinthians 10:1-33, not just 14-22.

The Israelite back then worshiped multiple gods, that is why it is mentioned in there (about) they partook eating of Food Sacrifice Offered to Idols but Paul revealed them as Demons in ver 20.
IN there is the real element of idol Worshiping because the Elements ARE THERE. This is something akin to like eating Food Offered to the Deity of the Earth (Taoism). As Christians, since you already know and aware of it, then refrain from doing so, to avoid stumbling others, especially Christians who are young in the Lord (Young Spiritually not age).

And about Matthew 7:21, please don't simply quote this to your whim and fancy, understand the context first before threatening others with it. Do you know what is the will of the Father that's connected to this verse? 

Well. Jesus wasn't exactly very nice to the pharaisees right?

yup  , the verses above nail it right on the head. sometimes, if something gives an uncomfy vibe, then dun do it lor.

After all, Yoga is not the only thing available. There are other forms of exercises that can be used as therapy too  .

its really up to us how we choose to respond/react to situations.

e.g. years ago i loved playing DOTA, but somehow, the 'demonic' elements made me feel very uncomfy compared to other PC games. the character/heroes had names like Abaddon ( Lord of Avernus ), Lucifer ( Doom Bringer ), spirit-breaker, & the spell-castings ( resurrection, sacrifice, etc. ). so i just gave it up for other PC games. u do have a choice of FIFA or RALLY or even Worms Armageddon u knw 

European board games?

You renting in PJ?

The tenant renting a room or the whole house?

Hmm. I wonder if I can find this game in M'sia.

ahhhh now we know. 

Man this thread is peaceful again.
