  • Southern Baptist Warns Against Christians Practicing Yoga

    In reply to hempstead1944.

    If it is not love, it is not true. The major aspect of God is love! I grew up in the South and attended the Penticostal Holiness Church 3 times a week. I went to choir and was raised by a Deacon and a Sunday School Teacher for 21 years. Hell, fire and brimstone were the message I heard with each attendance. Be fearful. God is an angry God. I always thought to myself even as a 5 year old or younger ” how can your actions be pure if they are based on fear?” I felt a strong connection to God and Jesus. From age 20 to 38 I tried very hard to escape the fear, thanks to the church. I even tried to turn my head from God as I could not stand the fear and just wanted an honest connection to what Christ had intended for us, died for us and tried to teach us. Luckily, I woke up. My first Yoga class was at age 38. I had been living a spiritual life, but always running from the fear. I never felt love in church, only fear. My eyes opened in this first Yoga class to experience Christ and God in a way I never had in 38 Years. I realized I could align myself with Christ and God without fear. I felt my connection in a loving way for the very first time. Why would a Church full of “Christians” deny a child love. That is all I ever wanted. I found that connection of love from God and Christ through Yoga.
    I am now a Yoga Teacher and Yoga Therapist. I care for the sick on a ventilator unit and teach to Alzheimers patients. They respond that when practicing Yoga they feel Love and healing, a connection to God and family. I align myself with Christ and his compassion. I pray every day to be more like Christ. I love you all. Under God we are one. Please try to love one another. We make no gain in judging one another.
    Namaste! Peace and Grace!
