Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION #1 – How can I as an
athlete justify my sporting endeavors when I Timothy 4.8 reads:
“exercise is of little value?”
QUESTION #2 – Can God’s
sanctioning of
violence throughout the OT (wrestling with Jacob, David battling and
killing Goliath, the Israelite army killing 1,000s, etc.) be used to
justify more violent sports such as MMA, boxing, etc.?
