Everything is permissible

 

Actual title of a YouTube video spotted just now: "Should Christians Watch Cage Fights? And Other Controversial Questions".

Some of the responses quoted below!

>>>At the Second Lateran Council in 1139, under the leadership of Pope Innocent II, the Roman Catholic Church set policy that anyone who dies while participating in combat or life threatening sports would be denied a church burial. This policy was again reiterated at the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. Pope Benedict XIV continued to emphasize the policy in 1752 and added excommunication to those who participate in similar sports. The policy arose from Christian’s participating in jousting, fighting, and dueling. While rarely enforced today, the policy still stands in the church.

>>>Any sport that does not offend the Trinity is permissable imo. If you think boxing/MMA fights dishonor God than same could be said with football for the latter is a violent sport.

>>>Ramsey Dewey is a former cage fighter who currently teaches MMA in China, and a very devout Mormon, who makes videos on both topics. He actually has his own video about Christians and cagefighting, from the perspective of someone who has done both.

>>>I love the people who were more outraged by the female body on display during breaks than the equally naked men and women violently attacking each other during the match.

>>>You could say there is precedence…the Christian watched the Roman spectacles, but the did it from the arena floor...

>>>Calvinists vs Arminians in a cage. Someone should have Grok make an AI picture for that.
