martial arts for cristians

It's the love. Christianity is the only faith based solely on love.

Wow, do you actually know ANYTHING about ANY other religion.

Almost ALL religions are based on love. What about Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism. What about the non-religious groups who also believe in unconditional love (Khrishnamurti, etc).

This is the problem with religious people. They believe they have all the answers and everyone else is wrong.

Jesus was not a Christian but he seemed a decent enough guy.

Hey Jackass; here's a hint, if you don't like the subject, don't chime in. Now please Phuck Off, it's a free country for whoever we want to worship. Now I know that's not very Christian, but I'm tired of Phucks like you... we don't bother atheists, so leave us the phuck alone.

Plat angel's post is right on the money believe it or not.. "True" Christians should not be in martial arts.. i'm am not a baptized christian i'm still learning.. so i stopped muay thai and boxing and just grapple w/ no strikes.. for now..

see where my conscience takes me..

You say that you are not baptised, was the thief on the cross baptised before he went into the Kingdom Of Heaven? No.

You are saved by faith in Christ Jesus, who came to the world for the remission of sins through repentance. believe in Him to save you. Look at Isaiah 45 v 22 and Mark 1 v 17.

I'm a Full Time Martial Artist and a Full Time Evangelical Christian.

There is nothing wrong with being able to defend yourself, the disciples carried swords, look at John 18 v 10.

Jesus said turn the other cheek, he didn't say let the world walk over you and kick you head in, did he..

Contact me on email if you want to discuss.

"What about Buddhism" - escape from the cycle of life and death, compassion (that's close)

"What about Islam" - surrender, obedience

"What about Hinduism" - direct intervention by favored dieties from a pantheon of gods

Evolution is a flawed theory... if one can call it a theory. Evolution, from the onset, did not employ sound scientific theory. Porponents of it routinely try to prove it... instead of trying to disprove a hypothesis, and in the inability to do so you begin to formulate your theory. Also, scientists are aknowleding now that it is flawed, thus the transfer of though to Intelligent Design as of late, which scientists will still not attribute to God . The only reason evolution stuck around so long was because of sciences' inability to attribute ANYTHING AT ALL to supernatural causes.

I don't have any ill will towards the theory of evolution. It's a theory and it won't shake my faith in God, my prayer life, my testimonies etc. Its man's best explanation of the development of biological systems-take it for what it is. Will it be disproved later? Who knows?

God will reveal truths to us. He created the universe. The Bible tells us what & why. Do we know how? Not really, but we have several theories as to how it was created. Even if the big bang theory was correct, think about the power source (remember energy cannot be created nor destroyed, merely transferred); that's pretty supernatural to me!

At one time, the sun centered universe was a theory. The ancient Greeks came very, very close to predicting this way before Galileo. Newton came up with a new theoretical form of math to describe our universe. At some point in time, society developed the theory of germs (what a silly concept). Society came up with some theories about electro-magnetic fields and half a century later, some more scientists came up with the theory of releasing energy by splitting atoms (to this day many atomic structures and particles are still classified as theory). However, many of the orginal theories were dropped because they didn't work.

All of these theoreticians were probably viewed as nut jobs. Today's theoreticians get the same slack.

We were created in God's image.

I know you said you believe in God and Christ Jesus, but just for the record the big bang theory can't be true as Christ Jesus, preached creation. He's not going to to be preaching something thats wrong.

He came to this sinful world to die for our sins, as we are unclean in his sight. The Christian message is simple " Repent and believe".

As for Evolution, how crazy do you need to be. if it was true, monkeys would either be changing into humans today or they would be non around as they all would of evolved and died out. As neither is true then that's not true.

God Bless.

I'm not questioning God's word. I believe He created the universe (Genesis), but I don't know how. If we want intelligent design to succeed, we need to be able to reconcile with the laws of physics. We need more Christians getting PhDs in the fundamental sciences. Could I become a minister without attending seminary and digesting the words of the Bible?

Yes and I love and accept His message.

Theories are crazy, Jim. They allways will be.

I predict chemical engineers will be manufacturing transferable body parts from proteins (with specifications!) within 100 years.

Pause

Let's keep the peace here if we're going to move forward.

Evolution is a fact, not a theory and the reason cold viruses mutate and we can't find a cure for them, proves it. Dude, do you think God likes to screw with people and put ankle bones in whales just to test your faith?!

It is interesting! But God created man in His image and thankfully not in the whale's image

Whale Checklist:

1.Do you have a spout? sort of...
2. Do you make supersonic noises? yawning...
3. Can you swim? Yes, I swim about a mile every other day.
4. Do you eat tons of small animals? crawfish...
5. Can you write with apposable thumbs? YES

If you answered yes to more than 3 questions, you may be a whale! Again I'm kinda happy God created me in His image.

[Tant01]

In truth...

the whole idea of jesus being God and the trinity goes against the concept of monotheism. this is why i cant acccept it.

I would say you are MUCH closer to the truth than MOST christians!

Good on you!

[jubaji]

besides, the plastic, metal and electronics inside it were created in labs by scientists. They did not magically appear!

Right! Extremely complex things imply that they were designed by someone, right? When will these people learn?

[J-Luck]

lol your'e funny

Mr. Arieson or whatever your name is... as I stated earlier... if you can't bring an intelligent arguement without insult, then you deserve no respone. All I will say is you have refuted nothing I have said. Not even close. The only person who came close was Tant, but I believe Tant has the wrong mindset about the whole issue, and though it is confusing to believe that 3 can be one, it is heavily supported in scripture. And as for evolution, it was a flawed hypothesis, and is not a plausible theory, most SECULAR... yes I said SECULAR scientists admit this now. As for the rest, like the 7 days, I came up with plausible points for you and you come up with reorical garbage. Don't talk if you just make yourself look stupid.

[J-Luck]

lol

And whoever said I'm just trying to say my religion is right and no one else's is... well in a sense you're right. I'm not afraid to admit that Christ is the only way to salvation. But, you are definitly wrong on saying other religions are based in love, they may have elements of love, but it is not the core of them, nor is it the binding element. Christianity is the only non-works based religion. No work... no certain behaviors or need for prayer every day or anything for that matter. The reason being, when one is TRULY saved by the GRACE(look it up some people don't understand exactly what it means) the behavior should follow shortly after. You're saved by an unconditional, undeserved love, you should be so greatful you share it. Broken down into its core roots, Christianity is not a religion... it is love, or a lifestyle of love. Don't judge it by those who don't live it right, just as we don't judge muslims by the radicals out there who are blowing themselves up.
