So far, only you have objected to this thread. It does not matter if this is the Christianity forum, we are all free to post here, and this thread has everything to do Jesus. If you dont care to read this kind of thing, that is what the Sancturary forum was created for. And it's nice that you dont give a shit about yoga, but maybe you should keep your mouth closed when it comes to that which you apperntly have no real grasp on. Yoga has absolutley everything to do with Jesus, it is the SAME thing as prayer, only it has a focus of connecting with God, rather than just talking to God. Also, yoga is universal and welcomes everyone, christians included, and it does not ask you to change your view on God.
The concept that Jesus became Christ and died in order to open the gates of heaven and let all the souls in.
I don't mind this thread at all! I haven't objected to it one bit. I have objected to the nonsense you wrote in the original post. I'm all for talk on the matter. I would post in the Sanctuary but I respect that it says Christians Only. I'm not a Christian. As for my keeping my mouth shut on things I have no grasp, why ought I be denied the freedom but you granted it? Could you imagine the response if I went into the Yoga and Meditation forum and started a thread that told people that one of the main tenants of yoga was wrong and that they ought to go get baptized?!?
Who is denying you freedom? I was offering advice to you that you shouldnt talk down on yoga if you dont know the first thing about it. You said people dont need yoga unless they have back problems, which is about as wrong as you can get. I was trying to keep you from making yourself look ignorant. But this argument, as usual around here, has descended into a bunch of nonsense, Im not going to argue about freedoms and what it's in other forums.
Good cause, as I said, I don't give a shit about yoga. What I meant to say in denial of freedom line was that you have done exactly that which you are warning me not to do. You've spoken unwisely about the Sacrament. Just as I did about Yoga. I corrected you, just as you would me.
I am bringing the Sacrament into the light of interpretation, you are saying you dont give a shit about yoga. First you gave a half-assed post about how this is the biggest peice of crap youve ever read, then you go on to claim that the sacrament is not open to interpretation. At least you know what you are talking about.
Im just going to let this go now, because it's a waste of time and space. I only wanted to give my opinion on something I read in a book and have an intelligent conversation and gather some different opinions. That's all Waking Life.
Go then, Relayer, knowing with full confidence that what you read about the Sacrament in some book was mistaken, either by the author or by the reader, and that Christians that seek confession need nothing more than their Faith and a few choice books to seek the good life, happiness, and a place in God's eternal grace. I'm sure they'll all remember yoga in the morning.
You found this interesting?!?! Well, wow Waking Life, I guess we are worth something after all lol :tongue:
You remind me of my little sister! Fine, you want a response? The book that I read is called the Bible, the word I had trouble accepting is repent, so I decided to venture off and discover what the original word is, and the original word has more of a meaning to it then simply being sorry.
Hehe. It is kind of funny that such a simple idea turned into a huge lengthy discussion. Religion always makes for juicy conversation..I guess nothing can be so simple.
It was a joke. Very rigorous study, that looking up of words, eh? You failed to see that the Christian Sacrament of Confession accounts for the full definition of repent. Thus the two conditions one MUST meet in order to repent, or be repentant.
life: yoga is more than just poses and stretches. i think relayer is speaking of the disciplines used for insight and communication with 'god'. not all forms of yoga involve physical movement/stretching, etc. there are other forms of yoga which are similar to what christ spoke of. also, there is no such thing as 'Christian Church'. christianity is made up of so many denominations and interpretations with no true majority believing the same thing. Each interpretation differs so much that it has created huge rifts between many 'christians'. no one church has a monopoly on interpretation (though they all think they do). it seems that you have fallen into this trap.
Because your contribution of original and intelligent, and not to mention worthwhile, posts here is staggering :rolleyes5
It doesn't matter what the dude meant by yoga. It has no bearing on the topic. It cannot bring the Christian closer to the good life that he requires to complete his happiness and become one with God in Heaven. It OUGHT to be SELF EVIDENT that when we are talking about a sacrament, we are only talking about the denominations that accept that sacrament as a sacrament. The term Christian Church is here meant to represent those groups.
