Seems to me this is Christianity 101. Open Bible, look for verses that support your point, argue your point using those verses, rinse and repeat. The difference between progressives and most other Christians is that the former admit this and use it as a basis for discussion, while others assume their cherry picking is getting the correct cherries and don't want to discuss it.I think that if you look up 'yoga' in your Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, you may find the bible strangely silent on it. Basically it seems you are revving up your prejudices (pre-judgements) against a long standing practice that many find beneficial, and cherry picking particular verses that you see as backing up your prejudices. This is not a good habit to get into.
So Jesus was selfish when he asked God to take "the cup" away in Luke?Kimmio ---you said ------If you want to talk selfish - praying to God for material benefits is selfish.
------that is not what Scripture says at all ----so praying to God in ones selfish state and expect God to even hear our prayer let alone answer it ---is very selfish act in my view ------
Scripture is clear that sin and iniquity keeps God's face turned from hearing us -----Isaiah 59 ----
Since the practice of Yoga originates long before Christianity ever existed, it could not possibly have been anti-Christian, whether blatant, or subtle, or any other way. Certain strains of Christianity can be blatantly anti-yoga, as we see here. But since Yoga existed first, it couldn't be anti-anything of the sort.Yoga originated with a blatantly anti-Christian philosophy, and that philosophy has not changed.
Yeah, that's one thing to be clear on. Yoga goes way, way back. There are art works in the ancient Indus Valley civilization suggesting elements of it could all the way back to them (c. 2500 BCE, so about 4500 years ago).Since the practice of Yoga originates long before Christianity ever existed
It's not the same as asking God for a fat bank account. That's more what I was referring to.So Jesus was selfish when he asked God to take "the cup" away in Luke?
I was quoting unsafe's comment more so than yours.It's not the same as asking God for a fat bank account. That's more what I was referring to.

Yoga was not in the beginning. Nor pedophiles, rape or Baal.So, if there was nothing made without him, then he must have created yoga. Therefore it is holy and good.
