Yoga: Can Hindu Worship Practices Be Used by Christians?
Posted by Ingrid Schlueter in Featured Articles, New Spirituality, Religion on December 2nd, 2009 | Comments


Elliot Miller of the Christian Research Journal has written a three-part series on the use of yoga by Christians.

It is now commonplace to find evangelical Christians justifying the use of yoga by claiming that they can meditate on Christ while doing the Hindu worship moves.

Groups like Yahweh Yoga, the term in itself a blasphemy, are predicated on the notion that Christians can encounter God, the one true God, through yoga meditation.

In these articles, Elliot Miller gives a background view of what yoga actually is.

It is a sign of the times in which we live that pagan worship practices of false religions are now considered a legitimate part of evangelicalism.
