Theological Analysis of Christians Practicing Yoga
The practice of yoga, even under the label of Christian yoga, is deemed as idolatry and is not deemed fit for believers. The scripture emphasizes the importance of destroying all semblance of idolatry and worshipping God through the ordained ways without adopting practices like yoga, which are associated with pagan worship. The comparison is drawn from Deuteronomy 12, where Moses instructs to eliminate all traces of idol worship. Christians are guided to worship Jesus in specific ordained ways and not emulate the practices of other religions, as there is a prescribed manner to worship. The belief is that every aspect of idolatry must be eradicated, and worship should only follow the ordained paths set by Jesus.
