I admit that just because something has Eastern or mystic roots does not make it evil and yes a lot depends on teachers of such arts. However. So much of them like yoga is actually Eastern mystical practice and worship. the importance of understanding where such items are based is important because of the dangers to suffocating ones first love which should be Christ. It is not coincidence that individuals involved in such practices often have an extra amount of messed up in their lives. Satan is a counterfeiter and if he can't dominate our senses through something like lust or more obvious addiction why not through hidden sensuality or even hidden homage to pagan deities?
I don't think I've ever associated yoga, martial arts, dancing, or healthcare with evil. Some of those things definitely have their roots in Eastern culture, but I don't know that I believe that equates to something being evil. Although I suppose, like with most things, evil is more about the intention behind its use rather than the thing itself...
Several news articles of late caught my eye from todays the death of another fairly well-known evangelical preacher to a story earlier this week asking what Israel would do without US friendship, God Forbid. The US is used by God, but Israel will not only survive but thrive because God has put it where it is. As for the death of another Christian icon the influence of Christe's Church is waning in the world not because of lack of power but because Christ has allowed it and in the end all nations hate true believers. We also had the ridiculous claim that Christ was coming this Jewish feast- while there is some biblical backing for Christ to come at such a time such predictions are wrong unless absolute revelation because they bring discredit in the worlds eyes, but scripture does say men in the last days will say where is the promised coming which has been foretold.
