How many people realize that worldly sports can cripple a person's plans, to get into heaven ?

A person must make the decision.....one way, or the other.


#1.)  Living a Christian lifestyle.


#2.) Or, Sports.

Do you just make this BS up as you go along?

For coming from a group that claims to value a healthy lifestyle, are you seriously going to argue against participation in sports?

What group is he from?  I have to admit that there's a whole group that thinks like this is a wee bit frightening.

1 John  2:15   Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 

  2:16   For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 


Just remember....God said this, not me.

I think that passage is talking about eating chicken.  I know a lot of people who love eating chicken, and this verse says not to love things of the world, so eating chicken is clearly wrong.

Besides, if God had meant us to eat chickens, he wouldn't have covered them with feathers.

That's right....I got nothing, BUT the Christian principles which the Bible teaches those who want to learn God's ways.

Are you angry with me because I show what the Bible teaches ?

No, we just think you're being rather silly, if you want to know the truth.

Fitting in, I suppose by scratching and spitting and turning 15 minutes of action into 4 hours or maybe just watch Dancing with the Stars!

This is Heaven we're talking about. No dancing in Heaven; you know what it can lead to.
