Answer 1

1. Jews objected to athletics because it was practised naked in the Greek style.

2. In 1 Titus 4:8 Paul tells us that spiritual exercise is far more valuable than physical exercise.

3, Analogies from sport are used in NT teaching:
Let us run with patience this road that is before us (Heb 12:1)
Remember that in a race everybody runs, but only one person gets the prize. You must run in such a way that you will win. All athletes practise strict self-control. They do it to win a prize that will not fade away (like a laurel garland) but we do it for an eternal prize that will not fade away. So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I am not like a boxer who misses his punches. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should (1Cor 9:24fff).

4. A Christian's body is the temple of God (1 Cor 3:17 and others) and he is responsible before God for keeping it in good shape.

5. Most Jews in Biblical times used to live pretty healthy, physical outdoor lives. See the lifestyle as described in the book of Exodus, where dietary and other laws were given to ensure good health.

6. Yahweh Rapha has made a covenant with His children that He will keep them in good health IF they obey His laws (Ex 15:26) which sees its ultimate fulfilment in Christ (1 Peter 2:24).

Answer 3

Your question has two answers. In Paul's epistle to the young evangelist, Timothy, the Apostle wrote: "But refuse profane and old wives tales, and EXERCISE (Emphasis Mine) thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profiteth little, but godliness is profitable unto all things." (1 Tim. 4:7-8). The New Living Translation renders this verse this way: "Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives tales. Spend your time and energy in training yourself for SPIRITUAL FITNESS. Physical exercise has come value, but spiritual exercise is much more important, for it promises a reward both in this life and the next."
In Eph. 4:11-13 (New Living Translation) "He is the one who gave gifts to the church, the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists and the pastors and teachers. Their responsbility is to equip God's people to do his work and BUILD UP (Emphasis Mine) the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ."

Answer 4

Psycial education is quite lost in the translation of the bible. We sometimes think that Jesus forgot about his excersise. But I hope that you know that physical education is how ou move yo ***. But biblically, how would you have moved your ***? Ask yourself, if you can answer it then you are great.
