What do you guys think about Yoga? Is it truly Satanic or is it harmless?

Oh boy. Off the top of my head I know the hand sign is the greek(I think) symbol of Christ. Like it’s supposed to spell his name.
And who knows if the “satanists” or occults actually got the above/below from the Lord’s Prayer. Satan is a counterfeiter; it would make sense to mirror and distort it to confuse. Also, black mass is basically a catholic mass just with blasphemy.
I think it’s best to avoid thinking they’re similar.

Sources for God the fathers “wife”? Also, For the Egyptian “yah”, while it is transliterated as Yah into English, we are not sure if it was pronounced the same as the Hebrew pronunciation.
I think it’s best to remember that confusion is not of God.

I thought that the actual symbol of Christ is the cross? It's funny how many things have been added to Christ that are actually not even found in the bible, just like this hand sign, that sign is a "mudra" and existed even before the time of Christ, many things have been adopted by the earlier christians because they had a better view of the truth than we have today, even that sign you do when you pray is a "mudra".

If I give you the sources, where is your effort? They have found ancient statues in those excavation sites with Yahweh and Asherah, this is one of those inscriptions found: "I have blessed you by Yahweh....and his Asherah" on a stone, this was more an addition to Yahweh, those people of that time added this goddess as being Yahweh's wife, they used to worship this goddess but it seems that Yahweh was actually against this thing.

2 Kings 21:17 "And the carved image of Asherah that he had made he set in the house of which the Lord said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name forever." ( ESV )

Look at other translations and see how they removed this name.

John 8:23 But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

It's not a counterfeit , it's the actual nature of our reality, we live in a lower realm of existence, our reality is below those higher realities, Jesus came from above, not above us, but from another dimension.

I think it's great that you have questions about your faith.
So do I.
What you think is that the false gospel is safe, secure, and okay to live with.

Otherwise why would you continually with your posts support the errors of the false gospel ?

I have no question about your teaching of the false gospel, nor about the others who are false teachers.

Because there are no others. So it's good advice.
Following a false gospel and posting its tenents daily or frequently, is a false god itself. (not just hoga, but the false gospel that claims everything is okay don't worry you're all saved without repenting or some such like that)

You miss out on the forgiveness from God that benefits you.
These are some symptoms for those cases and most of us have one of these problems or a mild case of them:

  • Alcohol
    Tobacco
    Opioids (like heroin)
    Prescription drugs (sedatives, hypnotics, or anxiolytics like sleeping pills and tranquilizers)
    Cocaine
    Cannabis (marijuana)
    Amphetamines (like methamphetamines, known as meth)
    Hallucinogens
    Inhalants
    Phencyclidine (known as PCP or Angeldust)
    Other unspecified substance
    Intermittent explosive disorder (compulsive aggressive and assaultive acts)
    Kleptomania (compulsive stealing)
    Pyromania (compulsive setting of fires)
    Gambling
    Food (eating)
    Sex
    inappropriate contentography (attaining, viewing)
    Using computers / the internet
    Playing video games
    Working
    Exercising
    Spiritual obsession (as opposed to religious devotion)
    Pain (seeking)
    Pain (manifested)
    Cutting
    Shopping
So when you follow / post about the false gospel of ua, you miss out on God's Forgiveness, yes, that is truth according to Scripture. Also when practicing or willingly permitting and approving of sins far worse than anything you mentioned in this quoted post, like blatant inappropriate contenteia/ homosexuality, under a false gospel (which claims all that is okay), so there is no repentance, thus again missing out on not only God's Forgiveness for yourself condemning yourself by your unbelief today, but also potentially condemning others if they listen to the false gospel and don't repent.

The OP is not asking about breathing and stretching, the OP is asking about Yoga. Which is a spiritual practice of Hinduism. Yoga - Wikipedia
. . . which has been westernized and de-spiritualized in many forms.

My advice for you, Justin BT, is don't practice Hindu yoga if that is not for you.

I would advise against condoning people to partake in the worship of false gods with ritualistic activities such as yoga, but that’s just me.
There is but one God......why is this hard for you to understand? How can I condone the worship of another when I know there is only one to worship?

Calling gods false and encouraging people to not participate in the worship of false gods is not “spreading fear”. That’s silly.

You are acknowledging the existence of other gods..... and trying to make us believe that we can worship them by attending classes and moving our bodies in certain ways. Do you not see this?

Then you say we could be disobeying the only God there is.....by worshiping the gods you are, now, trying to convince me exists......Which I feel, as well, is silly.

It wasn’t me that said “have no other gods in my presence”.

Knowingly participating in false deity worship is not fearing the God of Jacob.
I cannot worship something that does not exist. I would advise keeping your mind stayed on HIM, and off these "other deities."

for,as Paul says, we know that there is but one God.........so what harm is it in eating meat sacrificed to a god that we know does not exist.

Yet for conscience sake....dont ask any questions about it......and if we are near people like you.....do not attend the class, for the sake of the conscience of the neighbor....

That spiritual practice of Hinduism is also fake. It's like all them Tai-Chi monks (who believe in the same thing) with their "meditation of chi-energy". None of it is real because if it was, then they would be beating every MMA fighter or Boxer out there (gaining millions of $ too), but sadly it's the other way around with the Tai-Chi guys getting choked out in less than 5 seconds. LOL at energy (or what the fundamentalist christian would say: "demons"). All that time wasted with exorcism and the only thing needed was to put the demon in a sleeper-hold.

lol I laughed when I read this....but didnt want to give it a 'funny' rating..

But is is funny how people make it so easy to worship satan....yet so hard to worship God.

I havent seen one Christian think that someone accidentally worshiped God, simple by raising their hands for a cab, or sitting in a church service.

Normally, in academic discussions and debates one gives their sources freely without insulting the others’ effort.
Also, I was just stating what the Christ’s hand gestures meant regarding Christian iconography.
Finally, I stated Satan was the counterfeiter.
Higher dimensional ideology regarding Christ’s divinity is rampant in western new age spirituality. While we cannot be sure, it’s best to avoid theories that are too concrete(like God the father is a bearded man in the sky or Jesus Christ is an inter dimensional being)

Tai Chi's utter lack of utility in a fight has been demonstrated:


However, I'm not going to say it or Yoga has absolutely no supernatural influence within them. All the video proves is that the Tai Chi guy couldn't fight.
Tai Chi has the same elements as Yoga, especially with the myths originating around it. That video shows that Tai Chi isn't real, there is no "ki-energy" that grants a person power or anything like that.

The first time I found out that some people think yoga is satanic I just laughed . It helped me lot because it calmed my chronic anxiety so that I could think . I started doing yoga moves in high school without knowing they were from yoga. The moves helped me with dance. You can’t do a lot of fast or extreme dance moves unless you relax . I used to watch an old tv show on PBS called Lilias Yoga and You in the late 60s.
It’s ridiculous to me that someone would superstitiously pretend that yoga is harmful.

Lilias Yoga and You. Wow that is a blast from the past! (I saw her in the mid 70's) She was obviously a satan worshiper, it was on PBS after all. :rolleyes:

Bottom line Yoga isn't sinful...now Yoga Pants that's a different story!

If you think these so called pagan things are harmful why do you still use some of the names of the days of the week ? after all Thursday is named for Thor , Tuesday is named for Tiw and Wednesday is named for Wotan ( Odin) which is why that D, that causes so many spelling problems, is there . You can’t even get away from it by just using the months as January is named for Janus the Roman god of doorways . Letting silly, ignorant, and superstitious ideas haunt you to the point of forgoing things that will enhance your life,should be a sin

Simply put, It is of the devil.


Definition of Yoga. ... The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word Yoga is 'Yoke'. Yoga can therefore be defined as a means of uniting the individual spirit with the universal spirit of God. According to Maharishi Patanjali, Yoga is the suppression of modifications of the mind.

The only God I plan to yoke myself to is the Lord Jesus Christ. Theirs many reasons why I am against yoga but alas, I will stand for what I believe and let everyone make their own choice.

God warned his people over & over about worshipping other gods, so it’s possible. God says you can, but you say you can’t. Who am I gonna believe?

you can participate in the worship of other gods if you want to, I won’t stop you or anybody else - but let’s not try to pretend that the worship of other gods is not part of Yoga.
