Touch no unclean thing

"Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." 2 Corinthians 6:17

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. Titus 1:15

The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean." Acts 10:15

I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean. Romans 14:14

But whoever has doubts is condemned if they eat*, because their eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is sin. Romans 14:23

See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:15

* I think that while he is telling about eating here, it can also be applied to what a person practices.

Yoga was brought up in another thread http://www.religiousforums.com/foru...611-has-separation-church-state-gone-far.html

This is my question to Christians. If God has made something good available to his children but it becomes defiled by 'Satan', is it now bad? I am proposing that the exercise of yoga is indeed good for the human body and mind but it was attached to false religion. Has false religion made something that is essentially good into something inherently bad?

Detach it fully from falsehood/evil (if any is present) and you're good.

 

[Me Myself]

I dont believe yoga's religion have any problems

That said, if the movements are good (which is without question) and you dont like the mantras or the religious parts of it, just take out the oms and the teachings and keep the exercise proven to be beneficial both for mind and body.

The fact that it is not institued from God says it all. THe bible is very clear. Your are either on God's side or Satans, there is no fence sitting. Anything that Satan says is good, therefore, if you wish to be a rue christian you need to look at very carefully.

for example,. if there are mantras in the yoga, what are they saying? is it worship to someone other than the true God? These are questions that Christians need to ask.

Also we need to look at the worship that God approves of and follow that.

Remember satan is Gods enemy. Anything that satan approves of. God will not.

Anything that satan approves of. God will not.

Please reword this to be true.

You are saying satan decides what shall become unclean. Correct?
