Yoga was made as a bunch of poses done in service to false gods. Whether you believe they are bad or not, you are still practicing something dangerous to yourself, and weird. Yoga = YOKE-a. Don't let demonic "yokes" get put on your back!
"but muh excerises!!" Don't be lazy. Invent new and useful positions that have NO occult/pagan meaning. Try different excersises. Eat right.
Does anyone wish to elaborate? Or prove me wrong on any of my statements?
No sorry, being "born again" are the direct words of Jesus Christ when telling Nicodemus how to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Moreover this transformation via the Holy Spirit is documented throughout the Book of Acts.
It's just pulled directly from scripture, and if scripture conflicts with man-made tradition, stick with scripture.
Three question:
Where did Scripture come from historically and who decided what the Biblical cannon was?
Does Scripture interpret itself, or is there a tradition of correct interpretation that is passed throughout history?
What happens when there are multiple possible interpretations of Scripture? How is the correct one determined?
How many fingers are on your hand? What if someone looks at your hand and claims you have 6 fingers? Are you capable of determining you have 5 fingers or did God not give us that much discernment?
That's what all your questions boil down to.
Some messages in scripture are clear and not open to any major revision or honest misinterpretation.
So basically, the text is self evident and needs no interpretation. How come there are thousands of different interpretations of the same text and how do you know yours is the correct interpretation? Because John Wesley said so 17 centuries later? Do you realize that the early Christians weren't "born again", were organized in synodal structured Church, had divine liturgy, apostolic succession and sacraments, including baptism? All this before the Bible you appeal to was compiled. This is all in Acts and Epistles.
Revelation is not self evident, but this teaching is quite clear.
Jesus said you must be "born again" so you only question then remains how that is achieved. We should also look at scripture for that.
Note, "by the Spirit of our God".
Now for John the Baptist prophesying of Jesus
We are to be born again in the spirit with an indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as Jesus stated:
"The Indwelling Spirit Fully and Forever Satisfying." https://biblehub.com/library/torrey/the_person_and_work_of_the_holy_spirit/chapter_x_the_indwelling_spirit.htm
By Jesus own words, you would be saying the early Christians were not heaven bound. This makes no sense and of course cannot be true. Jesus told Nicodemus what must happen in order to get into heaven.
and of course the centrality of faith is emphasized with respect to salvation
