I don't claim this part: "12 apostles....one figure head. We are dealing with a universal pattern here....not a coincidence" I do agree that the Bible can be a valuable source of internal communication, but in a much deeper way than body mechanics or movement patterns. To me, the Bible is a profound guide for understanding ourselves, the world, and the connection between the physical and the spiritual. It speaks to the whole person: our minds, hearts, desires, struggles, and purpose. While yoga, Tai Chi, or martial arts help us become more aware of our physical structure (fascia, joints, breath, etc.), the Bible teaches us how to align that physical life with something higher. This is why Paul says in 1 Timothy 4:8: “Physical training is of some value, but godliness is valuable in every way.” He uses athletic metaphors to show the importance of discipline, but he always puts spiritual alignment first. I am sure that in today’s sedentary, tech-driven world, we’ve lost something important and keeping the body in motion is genuinely valuable for both physical and mental health. Therefore, whether we train, eat, move, or rest - the call is to do all things for the glory of God.

Deja vu? I fear we have had this conversation...and poor Paul wasn't much good the last time. I don't mind punching down on him, but we can do better.😊 Therefore, we can look to this....good pattern here. *the call is to do all things for the glory of God.* We could suggest, for the sake of semantics, God - is a word As a word, it has different meanings to different people and peoples, in varying times and contexts for the past 2000 years or so. The language of your Bible is not the language of Jesus...your God. It has been translated....hence...you could give some lateral assessment to what others refer to as their highest good or god or God. Does this seem fair? Maranatha is a word....a good word. We get further if we help each other use words as accurately as possible. I have mentioned before, we need a new language. Or we could say, this language we are using now, can be used, but we can do better than those in the past. We are standing on the shoulders of giants, and with great hindsight, we can see what huge liars they were...and every now and again...we can call them out on it.😅 Something like that. Peace.😇
