You got the controversial bit right. Many Christians are against yoga yet you dismiss their concerns. Just making a statement does not make it true. The origins of yoga are Eastern mysticism, which is anti Christ and occult. Buddhism claims yoga as its own and so does Hinduism.Yoga is not evil. There are numerous physical and mental benefits. It does not put distance between a person and Christ.
Why do some churches preach otherwise? Is it a lack of understand or knowledge regarding yoga?
This is another example of how close-minded people turn away possible converts by adopting ideas that have no biblical basis. Maybe I am wrong. Please explain it to me.
(I wasn't sure where to post this topic. Obviously, this will start a debate, but it is also controversial theology.)
The Chakra thing is occult. Yoga is not at all compatible with Christianity. If it does not affect someone's relationship with Christ, you have to wonder how close it was in the first place.
There are plenty of exercise routines that are benign. We are encouraged to meditate on God's word, which is entirely different from yoga meditation.
