Quit trying to impose your legalistic and nonscriptural views on others. And Paul didn’t say Christians don’t wrestle. He said that in the spiritual arena, we don’t wrestle against people, but rather against spirits.
Separation from the world isn't scriptural? Me thinks I have touched on a nerve...

Wouldn't they make more money as children/adults got sick and needed medicine for their disease symptomotogology, and later chronic ailments?
Because vaccines cause long term illnesses. Many who have had the measles vaccine (for example) contract measles many years later. I wonder how many "Christians" here favor vaccines yet are pro-life? A quick search on the main ingredients in many (if not all) vaccines include "fetal tissue".
We are all lights and witnesses in this dark age. We MUST filter everything we do through the example of Jesus Christ as if He were there watching.
Whether it be through word or action, we must glorify God through our lifestyles. Whether it be smoking, drinking, going to casinos, watching unpleasing movies or wrestling, what is the world saying about us? 1% will read the Bible while the other 99% will read the Christian.

I still don't do that enough by far. But my point was that the young man, along with everyone else on earth that calls himself a Christian has no business wasting time when they could be spreading the Gospel.

I've wrestled in my youth extensively and know now that it is not a pleasing pastime for a Christian to participate in. This is supposed to be a Christian, representing Jesus Christ and he is dressed in a second skin, trying his best to hurt his opponent. And for those, who don't think he's trying to hurt anyone, just to make his opponent submit, doesn't understand ANYTHING about wrestling.
It's about time Christians start separating themselves from this world and its compromising lifestyles and get back to spreading the Gospel that we were commanded to.
