I have always loved Martial Arts and even went to China to study and learn Kung Fu. However I sometimes feel that Christians are not happy to learn this. What are your thoughts on this?
Why would it be against Christianity?
I used to kick-box and i loved it, the only thing was i kept getting screwed over at contests. Well it happened more than twice, i had some much ability and natural talent, i even planned to move onto kicking an the boxing trainer said he would take me to the championship belts. If i wasnt screwed and i continued i would be a world champion Kick-boxer and Boxer by now. I choose to deny this opportunity and instead do Gods work.

It is like yoga. The danger is the strange teaching and doctrines that comes with it. Those teachings cunningly make you worship idols and be involved spiritualism.

Because of certain teachings and doctrines that against biblical doctrines. These teachings make you idolize something (ideas) or someone (anybody or even yourself: self-idolization).

It doesn't go against Christianity. Having the ability and the power to harm others itself is not a sin it is a tool and like any tool what it is used for is the deciding factor. To have such strength as that means you have a responsibility in how you use it, you can use it to harm others for the wrong reeasons or you can use it to protect.

Those who are strong have an obligation to uphold and protect the weak, those can fight have an obligation to fight for those who cannot those who have power have an obligation to defend the powerless.
This is why I have always loved knights.
I have seen many movies shows and even researched some knights of the days of hold every knight has armor a sword and sometimes a sheild however each knight uses them for different reasons.

They all have the skills and tools to either take a life or save it, for every blade that take a life or wounds there also is a blade that can save a life and heal surgeoins used to use knives to heal others many doctors also knew the use of healing with a blade.

For every sheild that can knock a person down there also is a shield that can protect.
It isn't enough to have strength or the ability and power to harm others what you use it for decides everything that is the measure of your heart and is what decides if you are truly strong or not.
The strong don't pick on the weak they defend them and help them to be strong, just because you are strong enough to harm others doesn't mean you are strong what you decide to do with that strength decides that
The physical training does not but the philosophy behind all martial arts DO go against the word of God.

There is a man called Eric Wilson who was involved in martial arts and says that there are many spiritual dangers in martial arts and Christians should not be involved in these practices.

Sorry, but he sounded like a very weak man. The type that would easily get trampled over. Not inspiring at all. No thanks. I don't get my learnings from weak people. I only get it from those strengthened and emboldened by the Lord (definitely not this man). Also, it almost seemed like he still loved asian martial arts and was complementing them by making a full video production about them. If it was simply a 5-10 minute speech about following the commandments of Jesus Christ to worship God alone and avoid godless people ideas and practices (like the atheist communist Chinese), that would have been a lot more effective and sufficiently convincing.

If you wanna stop an evil idea from spreading, give a quick rebuke as recommended in scripture and then withdraw attention from it. Do not give it more attention than needed for the rebuke. It fizzles on its own then. After all, the goal is for the evil idea to have zero attention not more of it.

Lastly, if people do not correct themselves after your rebuke, stop talking to them.

Remember that out of love, God gave people free will. Respect it as part of respecting God no matter what people choose to do with their free will. Those who use their free will to resist sin are rewarded by God. Those who fall short doing their best to resist sin are forgiven by God. Those who choose sin intentionally and reject God are condemned into Hell. Those who repent regain God's favor.

Godspeed.

Seventh Day Adventists, just like their counter-parts; The (Watchtower) Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, are great mimicks of Christianity. They even mimick Christian warnings against Martial Arts and Yoga, and this is all done to make themselves appear to be "ministers of righteousness" per 2Corinthians 11
Video Testimoies of Ex-Seventh Day Adventists can be found on YouTube.


That said, Martial Arts is indeed of the Occult, and just like Yoga, which is the express worship of Satan, it has very real spiritual dangers including the inviting in of devils for possession.

There are a number of videos that can be found on YouTube where Ex-Witches and Ex-New Agers warn against these Satanic practices, each of which have been brought into many Churches by those that hold the doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitans to cast stumbling blocks, within the Churches, to teach and to seduce The Lord Jesus Christ's servants. Revelation 2-3, along with 2Peter 2-3, Jude, 1John, 2John, 3John, 2Timothy 3, and 1Timothy 4:1-2 in the King James Bible are very important to read, grasp, and fully understand as they directly relate to the evil that has been wrought in Churches of all Denominations, and in society as a whole as the entire world is being deceived.

In this link, you can learn about who, of the Illuminati-Freemasonry, is behind this great evil, and more information will be posted soon that will not only expose the fact that the Knight Templar worship the Devil, but also how Yoga and Martial Arts are practices of divination. (Data Info posted on Pages 24-28)
Parental Guidance is strongly advised >>>> CLICK HERE <<<<



Anyone practicing and/or has practiced Martial Arts and Yoga are encouraged to fully repent (2Corinthians 6:14-18) and seek The Lord for His forgiveness and grace, as these are of "the deep things of Satan" per Revelation 2:14-29 and are of those things that are used by the enemies of the cross to turn grace into lasciviousness per Jude 1:4

I don't know the answer to that. Isn't there a teaching about self defense in the bible?
Martial arts saved my life. The discipline nourishes personal growth. The skill insures I can remain alive in a world where there are people that like to kill people.

It is an excellent way to exercise and keep your body fit. It also teaches personal and mental discipline. I did not know there were those who said it was against Christianity. I used to practice Tai Chi, and loved it. I still do exercise sometimes.

I have visited and joined many churches (Protestant, Pentecostal, and Charismatic, etc).

I also attended a Roman Catholic High School but did not become Catholic.
I have also done research on many churches and come to the conclusion that most, if not all churches teach both truth and error.

Taking that into consideration, when I listen to any preacher, I have decided that to the extent that what the preacher is saying is biblical, I will take that part of the message into account. And to the extent that what he is saying is not biblical, I will discard it.

Now, with regards to the preacher in the Youtube video, I believe that the focus should not be on which church he comes from, but whether what he is saying is truthful.

If you were to do a greater research, you would learn that the Roman Catholic Church is the Great Whore of Mystery Babylon, as has been taught by Christians for hundreds of years, including the Translators of the King James Bible in 1611; and that the Roman Catholic Church has a rich, verifiable history of murdering Christians, even for owning a Bible. In addition to learning about the history of the R.C.C., you can also learn that the Pentecostal/Charamatic Movement is yet another deceiving group that popped up after the false prophet groups of the Watchtower Society of Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, The Way International, Christodephians, H.W. Armstrong Church of God, and other groups like them.

Taking that into consideration, when I listen to any preacher, I have decided that to the extent that what the preacher is saying is biblical, I will take that part of the message into account. And to the extent that what he is saying is not biblical, I will discard it..
Pro 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Rom 10:16-17 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Now, with regards to the preacher in the Youtube video, I believe that the focus should not be on which church he comes from, but whether what he is saying is truthful.
The men in the videos that you have posted are Seventh Day Adventists. Proof Evidence has been presented to you that establishes the inescable fact that Seventh Day Adventists is indeed a False Prophet. Did you choose to turn a blind eye to the verifiable proof? They are not Christians, but are Deceivers and Antichrists!

Furthermore, you have also been presented with Scriptural passages, where The True and Living Jesus Christ said to beware of false prophets, and made it clear that they cannot bear good fruit, and established severe consequences for those that follow after them. This is outlined, as it is written, in Matthew 7:13-27 KJB The question is, do you think yourself to be wiser that Jesus Christ to disagree with Him to ignore His wisdom? Do you consider yourself to be wiser than The Lord to also disregard what He said in the context of 2Corinthians 6:14-18 KJB and to ignore His divine instruction?

The Lord Jesus Christ made it clear in the full context of John 10 KJB that His sheep hear His voice and NOT the voices of strangers. Why is it that you choose to hear the voices of strangers, such as the False Prophet Seventh Day Adventists?

I noticed that you did not answer my question, but I will ask again; Are you a member of the Seventh Day Adventists?

DO NOT BE DECEIVED!!
Yoga & Martial Arts
Are of the Devil!!

The Lord Jesus Christ is calling the Churches to repentance in Revelation 2-3

Everyone that has learned any form of Yoga and/or Martial Arts has been deceived into learning "the deep things of Satan". Both are practices of divination and are deeply steeped into the Occult.

To fully grasp this reality, you must first be grounded with understanding of what is written in The Holy Bible, with passages such as Acts 15:19-29 KJB per the commandment given unto the Gentiles to abstain from pollutions of idols, and 2Corthians 6:14-28 KJB per being separate and to not touch "the unclean thing", which by discernment, we know to be the Devil. I had written a post to share more indepth information about Yoga >> Here << and soon, I will share evidence of proof that the Knight Templar of the Roman Catholic Church dp in fact worship Lucifer/Satan the Devil >> HERE << (Parental Guidance is strongly advised), and as time permits, I will also share evidence of how both Yoga and all forms of Martial Arts, which are also antichrist religious practices per the worship of images of idols, are central practices of the Satanic Illuminati-Freemasons in their express worship of Satan and for the inviting in of devils to possess them, and expound a bit more of how these will ultimately lead to their worship of the Antichrist, as these are the deceivers that are deceiving the entire world into learning these, and other deep things of Satan.

Also read 1Corithians 10 KJB highlighting verses 20-22 & Revelation 2:14-29 KJB along with John 10 KJB, 2Corinthians 11KJB, 2Timothy 3 KJB, Matthew 7:13-27 KJB, Matthew 24 KJB, 1John KJB, 2John KJB, 3John KJB, 2Peter 2-3 KJB, & Jude KJB

It is also necessary to mention that the aforemention groups consider themselves to be "gods" that not only worship Lucifer/Satan, but also all images of idols of ancient Egypt, as well as the image of the idol of Buddha, along with others from around the world; and via their infiltration into the Church Denominations, they have worked to deceive from within as they are indeed the ones that hold both the doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitans.

One example of how this deception has been made manifest is by "Jimmy Swaggart Ministries", as they have Martial Arts classes on their Campus. Be sure to watch the videos below
to give you a bit of insight of who these people really are, and why it is that they have the Martial Arts classes on their Campus:


(Let me also mention that the Satan Hand Signs are not only used by members of the Illuminati, but they originate with the images of the idols of Baphomet and Buddha);
