Yes Israel is another reason Many chrisitans believe the return of israel to the suppossed holy land is setting the stage for the return of christ ? Imperialists have also used religion to divide and rule and maybe they will aggravate the conflicts between shia's and sunni's I think some muslims have been pushed so back against the wall that they have no place to go to and as a result have adopted counter measures None of us can imagine what is the desperation and hopelessnes that many muslim men/women encounter in their daily lives that makes them resort to suicide bombing something that goes against our very strong survival instinct that all animals,humans have Every day in Iraq there are atleast two or three suicde bombers This world is getting sucked in a vicious cycle of violence and eventually it will come to affect one and all
i have no problem with the christianization of yoga or the yogatization of christ... as long as folks get to the heart and essence of spirituality
I agree... it may start off as a fad for a while but sooner or later some of these christians are going to stand up in their pews and see that yoga and meditation is a very valid spiritual practice which I think may eventually lead to science paying more attention to it as well....and once the science starts publishing facts of yoga people will follow...we just can't do anything with out science saying so first on a side note I went to the video store last week and checked out he NBC tv movie series 'revelations' which is an very by the bible depiction of the end of days...in the movie there is an antichrist, or satan I don't know...that does a lot of meditation, he's the only one, its depicted almost as meditation is satans practice
