Symbolism is a great and wonderful thing. The Bible is full of symbolism.
The Matrix and Yoga probably have lots of symbolism in them. But they don't have the one thing necessary for salvation.
Unlike Yoga and The Matrix, the Bible has direct information right along with the symbolism.
Enjoy The Matrix. Build some of your physical and mental prowess with Yoga. But go to the Bible for eternal life.
Mate, you are very interesting person...
You are talking and defending the Bible and that's good, because I am on your side about that opinion, but when someone try to give you expanded view of the things, you don't like to hear it!
Yoga is not related with any other religion, but what is trying to say is that every person if He believe, can do miracles. That's are the same words of Christ and He was the one who shows those miracles! Let me remind you of some verse on the New Testament: ''If you truly believe that this mountain can be moved, then you are able to do that!''
Try to see the background in these verse. He talking about quantum physics, but nobody was able to understand Him, that's why he speak in parabolas! Even Albert Einstein wasn't able to completely understand the theory of relativity and that's why he sad: When mankind understand the consciousness, it will be able to practice my theory!
I suppose that I should have said what I meant, clearly, in my above post. But I didn't.
The ability for everyone to do miracles is only available for all people, because Jesus took onto Himself and paid for the sins of the whole world when He died on the cross. When He arose from the grave, He showed that He had the strength to do this, thereby conquering the devil who was the author of sin and everything evil.
My point is this. If a person will not accept Jesus salvation, they will lose their life in Hell, even though they do a million miracles in this life.
Yoga? If Yoga doesn't teach about Jesus salvation directly, then Yoga is only a good (possibly) training for the hundred years we live in this life.
Be saved. Dig the salvation info out from the only place that has it, the Bible.
Before I continue with our discussions, I wan to remind you something...
Can you notice that after we start our hot debate about what is spirituality, Bible and Yoga that most of the people here don't join our posts?
I suggest you to open a new thread with a questions and answers about what are we talking here. I am sure that it will be very popular thread, what do you think?
