The question he asked Is a good one. Just a 'yes' or 'no' will settle it.

OtemAtum:

The question he asked Is a good one. Just a 'yes' or 'no' will settle it.

A Yes or no cannot answer d question bcuz there is no were in d Bible where it is written. Dats why we ave d holy spirit in our lives to lead us d Bible says he will write his laws in our hearts in dis new covenant.

So what might be sin to me might not be sin to u, for instance I don't hug d opposite sex bcuz I know how it makes me feel so my mind is not at peace with it.
However someone else can be a hugger and it wont be sin unto him, if I meet such person I will tell him Ride on! no problem.

So we ave to be truthful to ourselves and follow d leading of the holy spirit

A Christian can be a boxer there is nothing wrong with it. It is just a sport

Those boxers are even more christian than pastors I see in Nigeria

A true Christian cannot be a boxer. Not every game or sport is approved by God. In boxing you have to have hatred against your enemy to win, if not , you end up loosing , injured or even killed. It is not a game of love. There were many boxers that ended up in the hospital duri g and after fight. Some even died in the ring.

The standard of God is sure and God is no respecter of persons; there is nthing like "what is sinful for Mr A might not be sinful for Mr B " , in the Bible .

Boxing is becoming unpopular unlike 50 years ago.

OlugbengaE,
Brother I agree with you.
The gospel is supposed to be simplistic. People make it so difficult and confusing.
It is based on "love" .....love guided by principles. Principles found in the Word of God.
Matthew 22:39 King James Bible
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
It's quite simple.
Here's the question.
If one loves his brother...should he punch his face into a bloody, puffy, obscene mess?
Should he disfigure his face all in the name of "fun"?
Should each man's brain be knocked all over the place from all those blows?
Should the one boxer punch the other boxer's face so badly that the other needs stitches/surgery?
Boxing, (along with some other sports) is one of the most grotesque and vicious sports I have ever seen.
There are some physical problems from this sport...that manifest later in life..

My dad and brother love it.....a lot of guys do.
However, I'm just imagining the Lord sitting and watching Boxing....
I think NOT.

Pacquiao is a christian.

Pacquiao is a christian.

But he retired didn't he? He didn't box that long did he?

MZLady39:

He was a top flight boxer. So, yes a christian can be a professional boxer.

Yes... brother, but my point is that he didn't box for long as opposed to what he probably could have done in the industry. Perhaps he finally answered the call on his life.
The question was "should" Christians be boxers"?
We know that many boxers claim Christianity.
