    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    @Ahzmort I love shows that analyze martial arts that way. It always gets scientifically proven as absolutely pwntastic! lol @Chris Yeah, history helps you get the gist of certain styles/techniques, and whatnot, but it's far from some Da Vinci Code conspiracy to hide demonic practices and teach...

    Martial Arts thread!

    Totally agree with WalksWithChrist on this one. I would even encourage a wide-range of study. It adds greater variety to what you're capable of. Tai Chi offers wonderful teaching in internal martial arts, and promotes good health. While, Muay Thai helps one learn to use every part of their...

    Martial Arts thread!

    I dunno, I don't watch a lot of MMA. Though from what I have watched it looks like a lot of them behave in a very 'cocky' way. A lot of that is why I don't watch it much...less jaw yapping, more arm-barring, ya know? xD lol

    Does Size matter when it comes to dating

    @ThunderPeel, I agree. It's rather unattractive, to me anyways, when you can see a lady's rib cage, that signifies mal-nourishment, not 'sexiness'. Again, just to further emphasize. Beauty, is subjective. No two people agree completely on what beauty is, or what qualifies as beautiful...

    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    @ChildofGod. That's a wonderful point. That one's view of 'good' or 'evil' can often by highly subjective and not Scripturally based. One side-note I'd like to make real quick. I personally don't believe that was Samuel Saul spoke to. Notice the person he sought out in order to do that...

    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    Also Auras relate to this topic. So would like to discuss that. My personal definition and knowledge concerning auras is this: Aura is simply 'excess' electrical energy that flows out from your body...compare it to the electro-magnetic field around Earth. Human beings and other living...

    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    Ok, first of all, I'm going to try to answer these questions as precisely as possible, but I am also going to avoid specific examples if at all possible, because I wouldn't want anyone getting any ideas and trying something on their buddy and leading to injury, etc. In other words, trying to...

    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    @FaithPleases...OH SNAP! xD lol jk Anyways, yeah, I don't know a lot about actual Japanese Karate, though it appears too rigid and straight in for me personally, I prefer more loose circular styles myself, so it just doesn't appeal to me, personally. Muay Thai on the other hand is a style I...

    @ForceOfTime, glad we are all enjoying the conversation! Appreciate that. Also, sorry, I remember reading that post now that you quote it lol. So..right, just sort of disregard that particular portion of my last post. lol. Sorry about that. :P

    Is doing martial arts allowed for a christian?

    Also, concerning 'chi', 'qi', 'ki', etc. The definitions vary. Though this is the definition I personally use for it. Keep in mind that the ancient Chinese medicine systems (accupuncture/accupressure in particular) relied on the same pressure point system used in the internal martial arts, the...

    Martial Arts and Christianity

    @Faulty indeed, appreciated the input highly there. Also I very much admire that Spurgeon(sp?) quote in your signature, I had never read that before..very thought-provoking words. @ForceOfTime, I highly respect your stance. Matters of this nature are highly subjective. It's very similar to how...

    Martial Arts and Christianity

    Also, as previously stated. Scripture concerning the Garden, or Crucifixion, really do not relate to this particular topic. As Christ was telling them not to stop His being the perfect sin offering. Hardly discouraging ALL self-defense. As to Christ Himself. Read Revelation 19. God DOES...

    Martial Arts and Christianity

    I am going to reference a web page that describes my points so well I see no need to type out a HUGE reply when this does it. selfgrowth. com/articles /Katch1. html I haven't posted enough to put links on here, is why I broke that up lol. Anyways, some other things I want to...
