There is no such thing. You can call a rabbit a duck but that won't make him quack.

If you think that the G-d of Israel commands us to do Yoga you are very, very wrong.

This is basically practicing enchantment and sorcery.
So we don't have Christian Baseball?

Personally, I'm fine with both tai chi (love tai chi very much) and yoga. I believe that as medicinal and health practices, they are fine, and even as meditation and spirtual practices if we use it only to honour the Adon Olam - the Master of the Universe.

Those who are not Christians and practice these things are fine in my book as well. I believe that Hashem hears the prayers of all people. The prayers of a Hindu are just as valid as those of a Christian.

Whoa! Do you want to explain that?

I really don't think there is anything to explain. I mean exactly what I said, I believe with all my heart that Hashem hears the prayers of all the people of the earth.

I honestly don't care about the roots of the symbol for physicians. Medicine and the science behind it is a gift to many people, and I will continue to use it. If you are that superstitious and scared about the symbol, you obviously don't know how many things our society and culture get from the "pagans".

Hmmm.......well, what about this....

Do you remember when the Hebrews in the wilderness were being bit and killed by the poisonous vipers?
Do you remember when The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”
So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

Maybe YHVH wanted Moses to practice Yoga and just didn't tell him? :blush:
LOL, very good!

Rachel have you ever heard about how that foretold about Yeshua? Sin on a pole, Yeshua taking our sin and dying on the cross. Yet if you look to that and believe you will not die (eternally).

But what happened later on? they used this as an idol and it had to be destroyed.

I think there is. Are you are saying God counts the prayers of pagans as equal to Christians? Or are you are saying God communes as closely with pagans as Christians? If you are not saying such things, it might be good if you clarify just what you are saying.
