BIBLICAL PROPOSITIONS, YOGA POSITIONS, AND CONTEXTUALIZING THE CHRISTIAN MESSAGE FOR PEOPLE WHO WORK AT CNN


Over at Pyromaniacs Phil Johnson comments on a “recent performance on CNN” by Doug Pagitt, a leader in the neo-liberal cult of the Emergent Church which was “documented last week by several bloggers, including Nathan Busenitz, Fred Butler, Shawn Anthony and Doug Groothuis.”

We post this here at Apprising Ministries because there are so many in the blogging world who struggle with their comprehension skills and were saying Dr. John MacArthur, one of the best Bible teachers God has given this generation, had said Yoga can be practiced by the Christian.

In this piece Johnson goes on to clear up that his pastor:

John MacArthur, of course, believes in the authority of Scripture and the exclusivity of Christ. He said yoga as a spiritual discipline is fundamentally in conflict with authentic Christianity; and that Christians ought to seek spiritual wholeness through the truth of the Bible alone–not in ascetic practices borrowed from the sacraments and soteriology of Hindu mysticism. (“You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”–John 8:32. The Bible is able to make us “complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work”–2 Timothy 3:17.)
