The thing is church's all over the country play football and that sport is just as aggressive. The bible says not to fight flesh and blood but don't take that out of context it's saying effectively PRAY YOUR HEART OUT because you can't fight sin with a punch or round house kick. MMA is not used to hurt people yes people get hurt but did you ever notice 90 % of the time when the fighters finish fighting they hug or shake hands ? that aggression is just hipe to make fights more interesting.

No one had a problem with Holyfield and Foreman being both boxers and Christians, Foreman a reverend, no less. I'm breathless with anticipation at the soon to be released boys youth group activities books/blogs/websites, VBS curricula, bonded leather bible covers, precious moments miniature, ring apparel and additional pathetic Evangelica Americana endorsed MMA themed flotsam that will be soon unleashed upon us at friendly neighbourhood Christian bookstores. Dale Fincher: well said. Why the fuss about this? No one had a problem with Holyfield and Foreman being both boxers and Christians, Foreman a reverend, no less.

We allow our kids to engage in sporting activities outside of the church & then come to church afterwards and feel like we doing great because your child is living a balanced life. I think we need to capture the sports domain as Christians and raise Godly sports superstars. We need particularly Martial Arts because the sport is full of Budhist spiritualism. We need to engage athlets in this sport with Christian values and discipline. The sport is not about violence or attacking people indiscriminately, but about self defence and discipline. Viva MMA!!!

Those who complain that modern Christianity has been feminized somehow have missed the point. It takes fortitude to stand in the gap with prayer. It takes more masculinity to forgive and to love than it does to throw a punch. Who among us could stand before the highest religious leaders of the time and call them "sons of perdition" and "a brood of vipers" knowing what the end result would be? Who among us could ask God to forgive the very people who tortured and murdered you as you hung on a cross with nails through your hands and feet? There is nothing lacking in Jesus.
