The Yoga a la carte was incredible. Just as you said, MacArthur doesn’t say much but what he says is great! What was really amazing was how clearly the problem of so called Christian Yoga was exposed by the words of defense made by Doug Pagitt and then MacAruthur responded appropriately.

Thank You for putting this one up.

I remember many years ago when I was a young Christian my Mother was talking to me about Yoga, though not practicing, I told her that Yoga was part of a false religious system and the mantras being chanted were the names of false Gods. Why should we have anything to do with it? She didn’t believe me. So we looked Yoga up in the World Book Encyclopedia and everything I said was right there. Point made. So I enjoyed the Host looking Yoga up in Websters.

MacArthur was careful to say exercise is exercise. But then again as Pagitt spoke it became clear that even under the name of Christian Yoga, exercise in this case is not always simply excercise.

thanks again,

sda

Here’s an interesting link about a priest — a devote Dr. Who fan — creating an event for the youngsters. Not sure how I feel about this. What’s your take?
