    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    The standard is my own because I have accepted it as such. It's not my job to make it anyone else's standard or to legislate it or to mandate it or to hold those who don't believe it accountable to it. It is my own personal choice. It's true freedom.

    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    No, I choose to serve God and allow Him to interpret His word to me through the Holy Spirit. And truly, you really have no idea from where I speak, so when I say in all humility, I mean in all humility. So, if you have aligned my character with some others you are mistaken.

    Why Do Christians insist meditation is "dangerous"?

    It matters because you and windtalker keep using examples of FLESH activities that have absolutely ZERO relevance in spiritual matters. God doesn't say "test the coca cola and see if it's of Him", He says "Test the SPIRIT!!!!!. There's no doubt that God is silent on MANY things that we ascribe...
