Does the Bible say anything about doing adventure sports?

[enril]

Since I did not mention these (and they are to be played by the rules), why bring them up? And where did you get your information? Is it even reliable?

Here's what I am talking about -- thrills that can lead to serious injury or death. All for nothing.
"A 15-year-old from Utah is fighting for her life in a hospital after suffering from head trauma Wednesday in a car surfing incident, FOX 13 News reported. Ava Broadhead was supposed to be at a homecoming parade but the event was cancelled. The teenager allegedly engaged in car surfing, a popular trend on social media, Kandis, the mother of Ava, told the local outlet...."

well that's not adventure, that's just stupid. if it was an actual sport, there would be harnesses.

Ok, then we are agreed there is no correlation with adventure sports to Russian roulette activities.

he-he yeah, that isn't a sport, that is gambling but with better odds. or. you know, get rich without wasting any money!

Since you want to keep arguing about this ...

That wasn’t an argument; it was a comment.

1. Why did Satan challenge Christ to jump off the high pinnacle?

Why DIDN’T Satan challenge Christ to do parachuting, climbing, or snowboarding off-piste? Those activities don’t tempt the Lord. Those activities don’t missuse Scripture. Those activities take skill - they’re sports. Throwing yourself off a pinnacle (or playing Russian Roulette) doesn’t take skill - it’s not a SPORT. You’re misapplying that passage.

Unnecessary risks, daredevil sports, showing yourself immortal, proving to your peers you fear nothing, satisfying your ego, rank carnality, pleasing the flesh, and cheap thrills are all YOUR terms. YOU introduced them; they aren’t in the opening post. You can
use your same presumptions to justify not allowing your children to play on a swing set, just because they CAN do those things on a swing set. If you throw out parachuting, climbing, & snowboarding off-piste; you have to throw out the swing set in order to be
consistent in your judgement.

HER expressed motives are: she loves those kinds of sports, doesn’t want to stop doing them, they help her become calm, and enable her to concentrate on other things when she needs it. I see no reason to question her expressed motives.

I’m sure that parachuting, climbing, & snowboarding off-piste all have good experience-tested rules designed to keep the practitioners thereof SAFE. Google them.
I’m sure that parachuting, climbing, & snowboarding off-piste are BENEFICIAL to those who love those sports. Becoming calm and becoming able to concentrate are beneficial.

Lifting weights or any other Nehemiah6-approved activities may be quite boring and uninteresting to those who love adventure sports; and could never produce the same rightly-desired results. People are different. Since you can’t look on their heart, you
shouldn’t try to stick your “lust of the flesh/eyes, pride of life” label on them. You don’t know that that’s their motive.

We can question quite a bit actually starting with who is really behind the keyboard.

You forgot about camping in the woods (age 13/14 maybe) for four days alone.

Snowboarding alone (if that what this person actually does) off-piste is not comparable to going on a swing set alone at the age of 13.

I didn't comment in my post about ages or camping. The swing set thing was about a hypothetical parent's consistency of judgement; not the children playing on it.

I don't know who you are either. It is not even known if you are a man or a woman and no one is questioning your comments. You are asking nonsense that if at that age she is capable of doing those things, I have seen videos of much younger children riding skateboards and doing everything, if they start playing those sports at a young age of course it is possible. You have formed a dispute only because it does not suit you that a 13 year old girl can do these sports and because according to you her photos are AI. And what is your photo? A flower?? What's so reliable about it that it can't be said about you that you're also a poser??? Mature and if you don't like something, move on. You have entered the post only to criticize. You haven't said a single constructive word.

100% most teensthat age are probably gaming, or scrolling the internet. there are worse things than taking a small risk.
