The Occult in Martial Arts

Martial arts is occult if it involves: idols, bowing to idols, bowing to shrines of masters, bowing to their images, bowing to flags ( that have occultic images ) or other symbols that are ( anti-christian ), have yoga in it, new age meditations, have or push a belief in reincarnation of which is denial of Christ dying for sins of the world and is an anti-christ belief system and a false teaching about the soul. We are made in God’s image. If so, how can our soul come back to inhabit a rat? A cow? A monkey? a cockroach?

Isn’t this insulting God’s image of US like HIM? Our soul too is meant to be with God, not return to be a roach or rat or cow. These are insulting you too if you believe in it. The soul of a human CAN not in any way, shape or form inhabit the body of an insect or rodent and never will. The Bible teaches we are appointed once to die and then to the judgement. God’s word doesn’t lie. Man’s doctrines do. Religions deceive BILLIONS of people who put their trust in man made religions over God’s word.

Trust me. Yoga is a religion and form of worship disquised as a form of exercise. Keep in mind that everything that is deceptive has to come off as being GOOD but is in effect EVIL. It must have a mix of truth and lies and will appear to be good for you but will not be in the end good for the soul.

We can deny it all day that martial arts has lead many into a high ego, high pride mind set and leads also many into a mentality of “harming others” for some teachers and some students and some styles. Does yours have this mentality if you are involved in the martial arts?

How as MMA turned out? Have we seen the progression of it to become more violent? That’s something you can figure out for yourself. And the music? The hand signs so many throw up in the audience…and the tattoos…these are markings on the body. Forbidden in the bible. We’re not to mark or deface our body. The violence and quest for blood is growing. The need for more pounding on others grows as now, we see other forms of MMA where fighters are chained up with no gloves, no rules and all out smash them and bash them until only one stands. Soon, will it become like the fights in Escape from New York with weapons or like the Gladiators of Rome? In those times, they wanted more the more they saw. And gradually….what they had wasn’t enough and they needed and craved MORE violence and blood until the crowds were CHEERING at human beings being ripped apart by lions or slashed to bits by other fighters. Bloody, brutal and violent.

And today’s world is becoming more and more numb to it. The cheering going on in schools when someone gets their nose smashed in or slammed to a floor even when they are carried out in a stretcher? This is about PRIDE and EGO.
I could never get that…when another person was being slammed and beaten in school and the kids were cheering, I was feeling really bad for the one being beaten UNLESS I knew they were a dark type personality and deserved it. Usually, the good one was being beaten down. But not always.
This is about a need for violence and a desire for blood and a love of sadism? We are to not promote such in God’s eyes as Christ was of Peace. But those who deny Christ deny the truth and those who deny the truth, deny God and those who deny God …deny their own soul eternal life when GOD is the frabricator and giver of the human SOUL. Or are we without souls or spirits? If you believe you have a soul…then you believe that GOD gave you a soul. And if you believe God gave you a soul…then why not believe HIS WORDS? and HIS WARNINGS for us? It’s a choice and God doesn’t force you and me or anyone else to love him or choose HIS WAY. But there is only ONE WAY to an ETERNAL SOUL TO LIVE ON …Through Jesus Christ.

Man has been in denial now for centuries and he has tried and tried and tried to get rid of the bible and get rid of Christ and yet,….who is still worshipped today? After 20 centuries and 20 trillion followers…who is still called Lord of lords? JESUS CHRIST. How many followers will you have when you go? 10? 30? 40? 100? 400? Can you match 20 Trillion? That’s the number or there about…of those whom have put their trust in CHRIST as LORD and MESSIAH. That’s gotta say something for Him as Savior. Yes?

But man still does as he pleases…still desires to walk his own path and still desires to want to be god over all and have power and show it and flaunt it and be the one in charge. He’s not. God is.

Martial arts is not meant to instill into ANY OF US a desire for VIOLENCE but more so…a desire to be more humble, more confident, more protective of those we love, more concerned for others and more of a higher spiritual person. However, many schools focuse on the combat and desire for the competitive combat over these areas. In turn, we produce ego machines who feel they can control, manipulate or defame others or slander or insult others with no remorse about it and with a houghty smile or grin and shove, you’re in my way attitude. This is not what being a true martial artist is about.

Any art that focuses on KILLING? What about the commandments…? Think about it. And when or if you ever spend your entire life training for that ONE possible experience to save your life…keep in mind that if you focus on SELF to save your life…then God may just do that…allow you to be the only one to defend yourself vs his watchful eye over your life. When we push God to the back burner and say, we can do it all..then he gives us what we want or wish for. Most train for fun or because it’s fun and enjoyable and keeps us in shape. But if you are a Christian, be aware of what other far eastern teachings the martial arts has in it. Shamanism has also magic arts and the BIBLE WARNS US to not be apart of the magic arts. For it also warns us that that DEEPEST parts of HELL are reserved for those who practice the magic arts. I didn’t write the rules, God did. Why does he say this? Because within the magic arts are deceptions, illusions and these are forms of lies as well as falsehoods and God hates false hoods as well, occult magic arts have channeling and demon chanting. While you may think you are chanting just some mudra or mantra, you may in effect be calling upon the names of negative spirits and that’s dangerous. And God’s word WARNS US NO.

Ultimately it’s your choice and nobody but you will force you to stop or continue but if you believe in a God who’s word is RIGHT…then listen and pay heed to what He warns you of. Why? Because he cares about what you connect your soul and spirit to. Don’t believe or practice martial arts that focus on spiritual teachings of the far east if you are a Christian or you could be continuously, daily as long as you are a practitioner of that art…sinning against Christ or even…unknowingly…blasphemizing CHRIST and not even knowing it. By bowing down to ANYONE…other than the LORD…you are insulting GOD.

Statues have no life in them.

And keep in mind the following commandment if you ever face anyone on the street in selfdefense.
God’s commandments warns us of one particular one we should look up

Thou Shalt Not Kill.

So, never seek to be THE AGRESSOR or ATTACKER. Use self-defense in a manner that it’s last resort and especially to harm another or YOU might very well end up being considered the attacker. The common rule of law is that you can use one level up higher of defensive measure against another. In otherwords…if they have a stick, you can use a knife. If they have a knife, you can use a gun. If they are unarmed, you can use a stick. etc. And never use a knife or gun without proper training from a licensed professional or it may very well be taken from you and used against you!

If you’re in martial arts now…don’t take offense, while many martial arts ARE of the far east or mid east and as far back as egypt, it’s about mainly what is in the heart.
