When The Son Of Man Comes Will He Find Yoga On Earth

[wisebuilder]

Yoga And The Bible ! Yoga Vs Prayer !
Neither Jesus nor the Apostles nor the Prophets mentioned or practiced yoga.
The Bible speaks about meditation,prayer and thanksgiving.
The gospels say Jesus always prayed.Paul said,”Pray without ceasing.”
Is there any advantage in doing yoga?Why the church fathers didn’t advocate yoga to the early Chrisitians?Why is not the yoga mentioned in any of their writings?The Bible seem to be totally ignorant or negligent about the practice of yoga.But the Bible gives utmost importance to different kinds of prayers-like the prayer of faith,fervent prayer,prayer without ceasing etc.”Mother Teresa spoke about storming the heaven with prayers.”
Many Christians turning to yoga is a sign of abandoning faith in the last days.
It is after speaking about prayer,[Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart-The parable of the widow and the judge]Luke;18;1-8, the Lord Jesus said,” Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes,will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke;18;8 It looks like the Son of Man will find yoga on earth when he returns.Substitutinng yoga for prayer is going in that dirction.It happened just like this, "The Lord is well pleased for His righteousness' sake; He will exalt the law and make it honorable. But this is a people robbed and plundered; All of them are snared in holes, And they are hidden in prison houses; They are for prey, and no one delivers; For plunder, and no one says, "Restore!" Isaiah;42;21,22
Yoga may be easy to practice,easier than physical exercise. But prevailing prayer doesn’t come easily.Repetitive prayer is easy to say but not effective as other prayers
in the Bible.Fasting is another method to make prayers more effective.Yoga is something like ‘make yourself feel better ‘kind of thing,But prayer connects with heaven.One great man of God said like this, "Prayer is the first thing,prayer is the second thing and prayer is the third thing."

"The best of them is like a brier; The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge."Micah;7:4

Yoga is a phoney imitation of the real thing...A Christian relies on the Holy Spirit and yoga relies on ones own mind, with fake results. And yes....When Jesus comes He will find yoga....Hopefully no Christians will be using it.

Yoga stretches are not evil or wrong. They are very beneficial for the body. Most people in the west practice stretching and not "real" yoga.

Yoga as a religion as it is mostly practiced in the east is wrong , yes I agree.

Why not just do meditation and prayer while stretching and exercising. Don't call it yoga because the very term is of eastern mystic, philosophy, religion, and thought, and therefore part of proscribed methods for Christians. Slippery slope. Next thing you know you'll be chanting "owa --- tagoo --- siam" without realizing you are.

I am wondering though, are you talking about when Jesus comes for His bride, or when Jesus comes back at the end of Tribulation?

I think , maybe , yoga has some merit just in the avenue to relax. But unfortunately yoga, like so many other things has been taken over by Spiritualism , and is now a part of the New Age Movement.

We must remember, the NAM ( new age movement ) has no validity of its own. That is to say, on its own merits, it has no substance. So it must take on ideas that have some substance like acupuncture, or the power of positive thinking. Which are both valid on thier own.

Take the spiritualism out of yoga, and it is quiet different.

I have spoken to some who practice the spiritual yoga. It is simply demonic.

Isn't it true , that the devil only corrupts.

I have to believe , that the person who origionally came up with yoga, never intended it to be what it has become.

But that is my thinking.

Yoga an ora tradituion of mankind. Not a form of Christian faith (the faith of Christs labor of Love . )

” Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes,will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke;18;8

Faith is the work Christ works in us to both reveal the will and empower us to obey it to the good pleasure of our God .The two witnesses of God as one witness the law and the prophets or Moses and Elias. His witness will be silenced or killed for a sort time when God sends a famine for the hearing of his work.

When he comes on the last day will he find faith or men walking after their own fleshly understanding or fleshly experiences ? (No faith not little none.) Believers are reckoned as little faith .

There are a few who will be stedfast to the end

Will HE FIND yoga? Why would HE be looking for yoga? When Jesus comes it will be to destroy HIS enemies and set up HIS earthly monarchy and reign.

I made a comment about yoga in another thred. But this is what i said.

From what i know of yoga, i think its original intent was meditation and a relaxation method. But like so many things , the devil corrupts.

Nowdays spiritism has been mixed with yoga. The relaxation of the mind and body has become the perfect avenue inwhich spirits can communicate

It is because of the untested spiritualism that it makes yoga a dangerous practice .

( ah i see , this was the same thred , lol )

Unfortunately we can condemn something we know nothing about just on hearsay.

There are many different forms of Yoga.

A limber body and knowing how to breathe to oxygenate the body to the fullest helps to achieve balance, and sustain full body harmony and health.

We are informed our body is a temple carrying the Holy Spirit. And as such we are to glorify God in our spirit.
Having a healthy body, temple, naturally assists in that.

And while Yoga isn't in scripture, references to exercise are.

One can practice a form of Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc... without religious connotations that do pertain to some forms.

Im afraid i do know about that spiritual side of yoga.

But as i said, the origional form of it is fine.

There are so many, at least here in America who will take up yoga, and eventually get into tge " spiritual enlightenment " . Transcendental meditation is another one, yet a bit worse. As those who follow this are not so innocent. The practise of this IS to strive higher levels of spiritism.

I have personally encountered many who practice this in my spiritual work.
