Church Mixed Martial Arts?

Hmm. Well, the Lord does indeed make warriors, so I don't know what this mans problem is. Jacob wrestled all night with God, I don't think it was a nice wrestling match in any sense. Probably more similar to MMA than ordinary sport. So yes, God indeed does battle, even personally it would seem. Its not to say it was Christ's purpose, but the Lord does make men who are a little on the 'fighting' side.

Agreed. Christ had a specific purpose at His first coming and it was not any kind of fighting. It will not be so with His second coming. Our God is a violent God at times and has used man to carry out those purposes. I don't think however mixing church and martial arts is so great either.

I didn't quite catch that, it just seemed like it was the mans thoughts on his own life in that 'sport'. I didn't see a church connection. I don't really agree with that kind of fighting, too violent. I just saw it as the mans thoughts on it in his own relationship with Christ. I'll have to watch it again.
