Should a christian follow football?

Question

is it ok for a christian to follow a sport eg. aussie rules.?

Answer 1

definently...im a catholic i luv the game

Answer 2

I cannot see why you cannot follow a AFL or NRL team.

But as previously suggested you should probably consult your priest or pastor about the topic.

Answer 3

Definitely, I wouldn't see why not

Answer 4

Of course, footy is what God intended!

Answer 5

WHY NOT ???

Christians dont have to lead boring un-interesting lives set apart from everyone else.

People will have more respect for you and your beliefs if they can see u r still "normal".

You only get one life to live.go "LIVE" it !!

Answer 6

YES!!!  Why not?

My nephew Christian loves AFL and barracks for Essendon.

Answer 7

Yes, a christian could & should follow football.

Druggies, alcoholics & suchlike follow the sport - so there should be no trouble for a christian to do so as well!

Answer 8

we had a christian play for collingwood

his name was michael

Answer 9

as long as they are not using it to satisfy 'secret hypocritical feelings' then who cares

Answer 10

Well considering we had a player nicknamed God I can't see why not its just a pity he fell from grace so spectacularly.

Answer 11

yes, i am catholic, similar/same

and it gives you the choice and freedom to believe in whatever you want for yourself.

you can enjoy what you want and make your own decisions

Answer 12

Yeah, nothing wrong with it, heaps of Christians not only follow sport, but play it too

Answer 13

NO... it's the Devil's tool... all those men grabbing each other in inappropriate places and patting their behinds when they make a good play... it's definitely evil and no good christian should watch it.

Answer 14

Ask your pastor or priest :)))

Answer 15

should a bird fly?

Answer 16

How would it make a different to your faith if you follow AFL?

Nup, I cannot see how following sports is a sin - if thats the case then im am SO doomed to h**l..lol

Lucky I dont barrack for the Melbourne Demons :P

Answer 17

im a christian, and id have to say its not a heaven or h**l issue, but myself why do i want to give my time to anything thats not gonna get me closer to GOD. I also belive that we as humans need outlets/entertainment. if its gonna weaken your relationship with GOD, then you know the answer. Pray about it.

Answer 18

We could throw you to the Lions or you could be Saintly and don't get tempted by the Demons, maybe you have something to Crow about but don't let the Power go out or you'll need Eagle eyes to guide your Bombers to their Dockers target, let the Bulldogs out at night to chase the Cats who have just munched on some Pies and Swans but they'll have to be careful when they see the Tigers who have just feasted on some Kangaroos and the soaring Hawks are giving everyone the Blues.

Answer 19

I don't see why not.  It's the game they play in heaven!  (Don't believe what those rugby twits say!)

Answer 20

Yes, It most certainly is, Unless you put the players or the team before and above God. God wants you to be happy even if it was a sin, he doesn't expect us to be perfect, just to strive for it. So watch your Football game and relax, It's OK!

Answer 21

yep. sure is

Answer 22

no thats sick, your going to h**l. don't even watch football. its the devils sport.
