The reasons for all the different versions of this one verse is because I wanted you to see the common thread the word
HEALTH.
Life is about balance....as a worship leader I can tell you that if I am unfit leading people in worship can get very tasking. In fact it was One sunday morning while I was leading worship I became breathless. I realised right then and there I needed to get some exercise in. I am a healthy eater, had no choice but to be after I had a near stroke, but you know what? I still needed to move my body in the form of what?
EXERCISE....If you don't feel so inclined to exercise "nuff" respect to you, but to use the scriptures to validate your decision is misleading. My body is the temple of the HOLY GHOST, and GOD will not be pleased with me if I mistreat it.
Exercising physically alone and not spiritually is wrong thus the scripture you made reference to. I thank GOD as a christian I can do
BOTH and praise GOD I can now lead people in worship and not be out of breath. Life is about balance.
