I think in today’s day and age there are so many denominations of Christianity and non denominational churches it depends on what church you were raised in. Especially with your father being a pastor. In the end we are all sinners and no one is perfect other than the Savior. There is nothing wrong with experiences yet still believing in my humble opinion

You know my views on this...

David Bowie : “Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.”

You're conflicted because they set all these rules up to get you to do stuff just for the reason you fear hell. Once you realise this is it and don't worry about that just do what feels right for you then life will be so much better for you.

And.... Don't start me off about Bake Off again 🤣🤣🤣

My experience with religion was extreme, that's another story. What i found is fear ruled my life ,fear of what father martin would think ,fear of what the congregation might think ,fear of thinking for myself, fear of stepping out line and facing the wrath of god . When i got free all the fear went away .Don't let the fear they built stop you from living .Who says you can't be a teenager again?

The stretching is 100% compatible; the first command given to humanity is to "take care of the Garden", i.e., take care of Creation.

Our bodies are part of that.
Staying fit is part of that.

If you go into the other side of it...idk. But stretching makes all kinds of sense, as does getting rid of stress.

Im christian, and I am a part of the kink/BDSM community. You can still have fun, go to parties, go out to dinner etc. 2000 years ago men had multible wives, and life was vastly different then it is now.

Don't look at it as the Christian church. It's a cult that wishes to control your life. It's clear, you can see that for yourself. You're 45, and they still want to dictate what you do with your life. He's your ex. He has no right to preach anything to you. Life is full and rich and complex, but also wonderful. Don't let these people rule your life. Chances are, they don't live exactly how you think they do. It's YOUR life, not their's. You owe them nothing. They've already taken enough away from you. Don't let them steal any more of it.

Yoga classes aren't compatible with being a Christian? Seriously?? Not to be rude, but were you raised in a cult? I'd ignore him, since he's now the ex, although you probably have to "co-parent" with him. That doesn't mean he rules your life.

You need to be happy and live your life. You ex should not be telling you if it is okay, sounds like he did a lot of stuff not compatible.

Live your life Angela,
Get rid of your shackles and don’t listen to your ex!
You can message me to chat if you feel the need
Make yourself happy

Well are you a believer? Do you believe Jesus ( i am assuming the religion your talking about is Christianity) If it is then yeah yoga is incompatable, because yoga has both a spiritual element and a physical element.. If it was only about physical then it would bo ok with Christianity.. But the spiritual side of yoga does make it incompatable..

Hard one... Indoctrination meets reality and it's never easy...

Omg...get out and live a little. Start dating, go out to bars, do some hiking, travel some...get a job where you work with lots of people and make some normal friends. Go to the beach and hit some cool places.
And have sex with some nice guys.

Don’t spend your life fearing fairy tales.

Live.

The best way to escape from a cult is to cut off all contact with members of the cult and find a positive, supportive community.

Your should leave that church!
