@@UnknownHumanOnline ? Lemme think of where I was at in my walk at this time🤔this was 6 months ago. Basically I stopped doing yoga. I’m Christian and yoga is Hinduism. Nothing wrong with self defense (I was physically assaulted and abused in my past.) I like martial arts. I like anime. I was a brown belt in karate. What DOES God think about it??? I don’t know yet
I started practicing martial arts (Okinawan old Kara-Te and Shaolin martial arts) with a boudhist monk in 1988. Nothing that he taught me has negative influence. My life has been entirely devoted to Christ, thanks to him. He taught me respect, love to all living being, humility, discipline. The problem is not in the martial art itself, but in who teaches it.
As a devout Christian I will vouch for my few years of martial arts experience. You get so much positive stuff from the martial arts even on the Christian front, when it comes to discipline, training, discipleship, confidence, facing trials and life challenges, exercise, health, problem solving. I also will add I spent 11 years in Christian parochial school and some of the bad experiences there were more a problem for my faith. So many Christians talk about "Agape" love but seldom practice it! Some of my experience was downright abusive, receiving swats from academic problems that came from eye problems and learning disorders that were treated like behavioral problems. This was in contrast to my martial arts instructors who modeled patience, kindness and systematic improvement.
A martial arts instructor can be kind and have a beautiful character, but that doesn't make martial arts good. Some people in this world have beautiful kind spirits, does that mean the things they may do for, example drinking or eating unhealthy food, we should too? No. I'm so sorry for your bad experience with Christians. They weren't truly Christians. God loves you!
Yes but thats the point. Everything the devil uses is deceptive and looks attractive and many will be deceived. Who fo you yield to? Are you like Eve? Is itso attractive to you that you are willing to trust the devil instead of God?
You are very naive. Do you think just because the devil presents a fake image it means he is not the devil. Martial arts is evil and satanic period. Even satanists can be the nicest people you know but deep down, that’s how they win souls.
There is so much confusion and deception in this comment section. Lord open the eyes of those who cannot discern the truth. Set them free from the enemy's lies, father.
As a kid I watched dragon ball z , a Japanese anime about martial arts, and I'd watch it every day after school. After watching and listening to this segment I now realize the occult agenda that entertained my generation and continues to influence today's youth. I remember the main character Goku during his fights against his enemies he would preform one of his special attacks when he needed to beat his opponent to win the fight, and this attack was called the "spirit bomb", and he would raise his hands towards the sky gathering (chi) energy as if he was one with the universe basically meditating, and while all this is happening he has control over this massive ball of energy that he throws at his opponent. The series is about super natural beings that gather 7 dragon balls and once they have obtained the dragon balls they call for the dragon serpent creature to grant wishes and they would wish the dead back.
doesnt paul also say to abandon your old self and to put on your new self, christianity also talks about letting go of your ego or identification, that is why jesus asked dont you know who you are? so our reality is that we are not who we think we are. it is really a shame that all that people want to see is separation instead of unity, and how bias we are with our standards, as one person once quoted, the only one who lived like jesus was saint francis of asis, and maybe padre pio and a few others, which by the way had to face their own demons.
There's a way that seems right to a man. But the end of that way is destruction beware of what the world narrative is. It is deception. Old self /ways that are purged out are our tendencies to give in to fleshly passions, in other words, leaning on the limbic system rather than your prefrontal cortex, where God resides and speaks to us. You're emotions are from the limbic system and a lot of this world narative teaches ppl to follow their emotions and feelings AK.A "follow your heart", but the bible says the heart is more deceptive above all.
God doesn't call for unity but for division between who serves him and who doesn't. When truth is shown you either accept it or reject it but the truth is just that the truth
I can believe this, the enemy is VERY SUBTLE in his ways with the help of his demons. Also this parallels with drug/ narcotics users who, when trying to be apprehended, possess superhuman strength…
But...christianity IS of the occult, IS idolatry..IS rehashed ancient paganism, going all the way back to baal and moloch... Martial arts are nothing but positive in my experience, which spans 35+ years.
Self defense negates God is my defense. When we take our hands out of our pockets he puts his hands in his. When we don't really believe that the angel of the Lord encamps around us to deliver us, they we are walking in and relying on flesh looking to our own abilities instead of what God can do.
Sadly not just in the US in Europe too more and more of these eastern practices in medicine, psychiatric clinics, sports, schools every where are prevalent.

I only did martial arts for self defense to later find out that it was more about looks that practically. Therefore what about more modern martial arts like krav mega and boxing to be able to defend themselves.
Maybe being strong and not doing anything you’re uncomfortable with is the best approach to things. If you want to do some yoga but want to skip the namastes then do it! End with a smile and go. Don’t make it your religion! Before beginning any martial arts, do a little research and if it’s a cult or seems strange, choose another one. Breathing exercises has a variety of benefits and are useful but there’s no need to become a breatherian or whatever breath related religion, just use the techniques to help with stress relief. Christians can enjoy activities and the benefits as long as it doesn’t include worship so know what worship looks like and stay away from that if you’re not at church! Don’t be afraid of walking away if something’s not right.
Funakoshi believes in Zen. Yep, the dragon is the main character It all goes back to Hinduism... Kara Te do means way of the Empty Hand. But Actually, kara Te means "Chinese Hand" and the Japanese change the name to "Empty Hand" cause they don't like being ruled by the Chinese. The Japanese learn alot of the fighting skills from Chinese but they also despise the Chinese. ✒️✒️✒️
pray to Our Father God...I myself have benefited greatly from martial arts. Use the eemies game against him...Meditate on the Word while you exersize. Use this power against the ones who attack physically and many have been converted by physical run ins...use the power for good
This is the dogma that has pushed many away from Christ. Just to clarify, those monks are not the military arm of Buddhism, there is no such thing. If you read anything about buddhism, you would understand that they highly believe in peace and love and kindness. They also believe that the body is a divine temple. This is why they adhere to very strict vows along with practicing various martial arts for self-discipline in order to master and clense the mind and body for the benefit of the spirit. If anyone would take a deep look at any world religion worthy of the name, I believe most people would see that it is differing human experiences seeking the same God. There are perversions of any religion, but if you look at the essence of religions thoughout history, you will see Christ, love, kindness, self discipline, self realization, and the quest to sit by our creator in all of them.
Meditate on the word of the Lord, take hold of your thoughts, What is prayer? It’s meditation and being still with God. This kind of Ignorance is what’s wrong with these self righteous blind leading the blind. YOKED does the Bible not tell you to not be unequally Yoked. But be YOKED EVENLY? People pay attention to what’s being said. He craved power … he fell victim to Hubris….. pride … taking ownership of the power that was working through him. Like a CHRISTIAN that heals the sick and claims it’s of his own power instead of crediting the Holy Spirit…. How can you not see the same package in different wrapping?
First you need to prove a god actually exists. Then you can move on to prove some of this is actually real. How about stopping the priest assaults onto young kids before worrying about a karate class.
Jesus of Galalee written about was Jewish according to what was written about him. He only followed Jewish Law's. and to this "Network"3ABN that means The Law & religion of the Jew's only. Jesus Studied the Tanakh only. So if you are Not living as a Jewish life of the Jesus of Galilee his transliterated words Do Not Apply to you or your religions.
I was really into martial arts I used to read about their philosophies too one of their teaching was to let go of judgment and bias and to just be an observer and notice how things affect you. Just notice weather something affects you positively or negatively. Like lets say you come across a hugh sum of money lost and you know who it belongs to. Its affects you positively so you should keep it. Don't use your moral judgment, transcend right and wrong.
This is "Churchianity," not Christianity. These people have no idea what they're talking about. Compassion and meditation are the heart of the Way, and they can be found in every religion. Compassion is the golden key (the heart). Meditation is the silver key (the mind). 500 years before Jesus' lifetime, the Buddha was said to have walked on water and to have manifested food. "Wise men from the East" visited Jesus at birth, and Jesus was in India during his so-called "lost years."
Daoism is a breath of fresh air for connecting & balance with nature. these Evangelicals are scary fundamentalists. This is awful and martial arts is awesome. 🙏☯️

This is really is embarrassing as for as western Christianity goes. Real Christianity is a universal religion. What you'll notice throughout many different cultures is that the Monks, Yogis Sheikhs ext are different words describing ROUGHLY the same thing. Jesus by the parameters given by the human beings you're demonizing WOULD have been a Buddha, Yogi, Sheikh ext. The only difference is he would have been THEE Buddha, Yogi, Sheikh ext and his words should be taken more seriously then any other teacher. Our scriptures say numerous times to meditate, and that God IS found everywhere and within everything that isn't in Hell yet. To clear your mind and allow Gods thoughts to enter (the universal consciousness, spirit, love and truth) is by no means a satanic practice... and to disassociate yourself with yourself and become one with "the universal spirit" through an Ego/Self death, whether by meditation or ingesting an entheogen is not forbidden ANYWHERE in the Old or New Testament. Many Entheogens are Kosher. Also God breathed into us the breath of life, what in the world would be wrong with someone using that same breath to commune with him? People who spew poison like this is the reason it's incredibly difficult to evangelize nowadays. People hear Jesus and associate him with disunity and cultic isolation of thought and spiritual practice. Jesus set us free, he didn't back us into a corner.
Christianity is not a universal religion. There is only one God and one way to eternal life. Those who want to worship other gods can do so but not under the banner of Jesus Christ!
When a person clears their mind that allows demons in. A person should never clear their mind. We are to think and meditate on The Word of GOD the holy scriptures only.
@@modestermasiyiwa5058Christianity is universal. Most people don’t know who or what they’re worshipping even when they think it’s Jesus Christ.

At the start, I don’t think anyone can know exactly what to do and baptism isn’t as widely advised now that there’s televangelists! There was a time not too long ago when most of us couldn’t read and the Bible wasn’t widely available so people need to find time to read for themselves so they can understand Christianity.
