According to the world, peace means no more wars, killing or destruction of human life, wildlife and the environment.Many stressed out worldly Christians are now involved in yoga,meditation,fortune telling, transcendental and many other eastern mysticism practices in their quest to find peace. Classes for such activities are mushrooming all over the big cities across Asia,America and Europe.
Tests conducted on patients given placebo by their doctors on their supposedly health benefits do report positive results from these patients later.It do shows the effects of perception on helping to improve one's state of mind. One's improved state of mind do help to improve one's health. So if we think that practicing yoga or meditation helps us to achieve inner peace, its likely to be so for our mind are already positively accepting that conclusion. If we think that praying will not provide the same effect, it won.t, for our minds are already negative to it.
So while the yoga and meditation classes may perhaps bring the so called inner peace to us, we must seriously consider their destructive effects to our own salvation. They seem harmless at first but many of these activities requires meditation. Unless the yoga or meditation classes teaches us to meditate specifically on something, that something has to be Jesus Christ and not something else, if its nothing, then that nothing will be filled by demons for demons seek an empty host. These activities will open the door for demons to enter into us and lead us to a curse which will ultimately destroy our faith in God and rob us of the true peace we would have otherwise enjoyed with God.
World Peace According To The Bible
World Peace is not dependent on the United Nations or any One World Unity or whatever peace movements touted by many leaders today. Human government never will be able to solve the world's problems. There never will be true peace until the Prince of Peace establishes His Millennial Kingdom. Peace on earth will only come when every man is transformed by the power of God through the Sons of Peace. It is when "the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains" that the prophetic mysteries spoken by the prophet shall unfold before our wondering eyes and He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they (the nations) shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore" (Isa. 2:2-4).
What is Eternal Peace
Real peace is not temporary happiness that depends upon good things happening in our lives. Real peace is not the absence of conflicts or problems in our lives ! The peace of God is unaffected by any external conditions. If your peace crumbles in the face of troubles, what you have is not peace - it is merely a sense of comfort or security that you may have in the hope that nothing changed or disturb the status quo of your peace.
Romans 14:17 - For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
God Has Already Given Us Peace
John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Peace In The Bible

----------------------------------------------
Leviticus 7:20-21
New International Version (NIV)

"
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
20'(A)But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, in his uncleanness, that person (B)shall be cut off from his people.
21'(C)When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean [a]detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, that person shall be cut off from his people.'"
King James Version (KJV)
20But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
21Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
----------------------------------------------
Leviticus 19:5-8
New International Version (NIV)
5 " 'When you sacrifice a fellowship offering [a] to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf. 6 It shall be eaten on the day you sacrifice it or on the next day; anything left over until the third day must be burned up. 7 If any of it is eaten on the third day, it is impure and will not be accepted. 8 Whoever eats it will be held responsible because he has desecrated what is holy to the LORD; that person must be cut off from his people.
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
5'Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.
6'It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and the next day; but what remains until the third day shall be burned with fire.
7'So if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an offense; it will not be accepted.
8'Everyone who eats it will bear his iniquity, for he has profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from his people.
King James Version (KJV)
5And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
6It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
7And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
8Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

The Law of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings in the Quran
There is nothing like that in the Noble Quran.
Herein is the Law of "Eat" in the Quran
----------------------------------------------
Surah 2:172
QARIB: believers, eat of the good with which we have provided you and give thanks to Allah, if you really worship him.
SHAKIR: o you who believe! Eat of the good things that we have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if him it is that you serve
PICKTHAL: o ye who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith we have provided you, and render thanks to Allah if it is (indeed) he whom ye worship.
YUSUFALI: o ye who believe! eat of the good things that we have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is him ye worship.
----------------------
In verse 2:172, Allah mentions the lawfulness of eating what is cultivated on the land and the meat of cattle, saying:
O you, who believe, eat of the good things, that are lawful, wherewith We have provided you, and give thanks to Allah, for what He has made lawful for you, if it be Him that you worship.
----------------------------------------------
Surah 5:87
QARIB: believers, do not forbid the good things that Allah has made lawful to you. do not transgress; Allah does not love the transgressors.
SHAKIR: o you who believe! do not forbid (yourselves) the good things which Allah has made lawful for you and do not exceed the limits; surely Allah does not love those who exceed the limits
PICKTHAL: o ye who believe! forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, and transgress not, lo! Allah loveth not transgressors.
YUSUFALI: o ye who believe! make not unlawful the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you, but commit no excess: for Allah loveth not those given to excess.
----------------------
In verse 5:78, Allah Commands; O you, who believe! Forbid not the good things which Allah hath made lawful for you
This verse was revealed about ten Companions of the Prophet Muhammad; they vowed that they
1- Would not eat or drink except that which was enough to keep them alive,
2- Would not have sex with their wives,
3- Would never eat meat or fat and that they
4- Would cut off their male organs.
But Allah forbade them from such acts, and revealed about them:
Do not forbid the lawful things that Allah has permitted such as foods, drinks and having sex with your wives (and transgress not) by cutting off your male organs
(Lo! Allah loves not the transgressors) who move from the lawful to the unlawful by mutilating themselves.
This indicates that there is no Priesthood in the Islam
---------------------
What if the Quran was the Book which commands to kill 1) the Uncircumcised, 2) the curser of his parents, 3) the gay, 4) the Zoosexual 5) the worker in the Sabbath! 6) Whosoever tries to turn you away from the LORD and 7) all who live in that town, 8) the prophet, 9) all the Midianites, men, women and boys, 10) the Ox and the Owner, 11) the adulterer and the adulteress, 12) who Eats leavened bread and 13) whosoever eats the meat of the sacrifice of peace!
What the Western Media would have said? What names they have given the Quran in such case?
