Re: Pokemon: (aka Poke-a-man) still a threat to families
If it did promote only whitchcraft... Also, for me playing the "game" until GOD revealed me the Truth, they did even create a ( sorry, saying it sounds much like a sin ) "god" to make children break the First Commandment! Also, some of these Pocket DEmons seem whores.
banning things is a very bad way for solving things, if you want to stop your child from doing something, you dont beat him/her and ban him/her from doing it, this will only generate hate and will make him/her do that in secret.
Is that so? Well then, why don't you allow us to preach the gospel in Dearborn Michigan, you filth?
I used to play Poke-a-man (and still do sometimes) and Im normal like everyone else, and I never thought about that "poke-a-man" thing, like I said, you're taking it too far.
Don't think that you're bright by teaching us anything with that superficial muslimic brag you shallow minded hypocrite. You are worse than a fool.

Pokemon is harmless it isn't the pokemon stuff it's the fact that kids get addicted and the parents won't stop buying the cards because they don't want to spend time with their kids they just want them to go and hide in the magical kalos reigon. face the facts pokemon isn't evil it's the addiction to pokemon, it's like money it's fine to have it but wanting more and more leads to sin . these symbols are fun
Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.
And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
You folks sound intolerant. God isnt going to Damn us for tiny things Once we're in we are in for good! In other words We arn't saved through good works we do good works because we are saved!
Please feel free to provide Scripture to support your claims.
Right.... there isn't any.
Oh and by the way Ive been a Christain since I was 4 and attended church weekly until the church my father was the MAIN PASTOR of closed down due to increased rent and the death of the main benefactor simultaneously.
Oh, sweetie, do you even realize how pathetic you sound? Your daddy was a "pastor" preaching to one single individual. (Who, I suppose, died out of boredom).
Don't take these people seriously, they're just in their own little world and have a very...interesting interpretation of Scripture.
Oh, dear. We don't interpret the Bible. It's written in a plain and simple language, that there is nothing to "interpret" - you should try reading it, too!

You folks do realize that 95% of the anti religious stuff about pokemon is made up right. 70% of pokemon "Evolutions" are more like metamorphasis or genetic mutation which doesn't pass on through generations( breeding). . You folks sound intolerant. God isnt going to Damn us for tiny things Once we're in we are in for good! In other words We arn't saved through good works we do good works because we are saved! and you folks are more busy fighting amongst yourselves to try to minister to others. In all my years dozens of mormons and Jehovahs witness' have knocked on my door. This cult called the Moonies who feel they must fundraise to get to heaven and whose leader arranges marriges for money have been following me for months. If we all were as devoted as these cultists we would have converted half the stinking country by now!

Maybe your dad's church closed down because he wasn't preaching the actual Word of God, but was preaching the Words Modern Man Wants To Hear, and who wants to spend Sunday morning attending what amounts to a Self-Help, Motivation Hour?

Re: Pokemon: (aka Poke-a-man) still a threat to families
Dont you think you're going very far? Pokemon is just a game, in excess it can be bad like any game but when played normally it definetly isnt.
If children had to follow all the rules on this site then they'll most likely commit suicide out of boredom or try to run away, banning things is a very bad way for solving things, if you want to stop your child from doing something, you dont beat him/her and ban him/her from doing it, this will only generate hate and will make him/her do that in secret.

Re: Pokemon: (aka Poke-a-man) still a threat to families
Are you guys freaking serious??? So if we watch pokemon we will want to poke a man? I hardly think so! But you know what will turn your little boys gay? The fact that you all make them think that if they look at a girl and get a boner before theyre a ge 45, that theyre in danger of eternal damnation, not to mention youre all woman haters and male cheauvenists. And heaven forbid they kiss a girl or have any emotions whatsoever towards the opposite sex.
I was going to comment on how the first post in part tells people to judge things by their appearance, meaning that classic "ugly" people are all evil, but forget it. I don't have anything to say if you guys are perfect and you show no love to sinners.
We do love sinners so much that we try to save them.
The Jesus I know is willing to sit down with tax collectors so that they can be saved.
The same Jesus denies his mother, calls a woman a dog and reluctantly allows a Samaritan woman to draw water for Him. Jesus whips people for selling merchandise in the temple. Jesus also tells you to shake the dust from your feet with those who will not listen to you. Jesus calls people all sorts of names.
"DOGS" Matt. 7:6 Jesus said, "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs" (see also 2 Peter 2:20-22, Rev. 22:15) "SWINE" Matt. 7:6 "...neither cast your pearls before swine" "VIPERS" Matt. 3:7 "O generation of vipers..." (see also Matt. 12:34, 23:33 and Luke 3:7) "HYPOCRITES" Matt.6:2 "...as the hypocrites in the synagogues..." (see also Matt.6:5, 16, 15:7, 16:3, 22:18, 23:13-15, 29, 24:51, Mark 7:6, Luke 11:44, 12:56) "CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL" John 8:44 "You are of your father the devil..." (see also Acts 13:10) "PERVERSE" Mat. 17:17"...O faithless and perverse generation" (see also Luke 9:41, Acts 20:30, Phil. 2:15, 1Tim. 6:5) "REPROBATE" 2Cor 13:5-7 "...except ye be reprobates" (see also Rom 1:28, 2Tim. 3:8, Tit. 1:16) "HEATHEN" Mat. 6:7 "...as the heathen do" (see also Mat.18:17, Act 4:25, 2Cor. 11:26, Gal. 1:16, 2:9, 3:8) "FOOLS" Mat. 23:17 "...Ye fools and blind" (see also Luke 12:20, 1Cor.15:36, Mat.23:19, Luke 11:40, 24:25, Eph. 5:15) "WICKED AND ADULTEROUS" Mat. 16:4 "A wicked and adulterous generation" (see also Mat. 12:45, 13:49, 18:32, 21:41, 25:26, Luke 19:22, 1Cor. 5:13, 2Thes. 3:2, 2Pet. 2:7, 3:17) "O YE OF LITTLE FAITH" (Christ's favorite name for His apostles!) Mat.6:30, 8:26, 14:31, etc., etc., etc.
The God I know mourns when even the lowest of sinners is condemned and rejoices when even one turns to him.
Our beloved Father Yaweh also laughs at people's demise. He holds them in derision at their moment of calamity. Psalm 2:4-5He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
The Jesus I know told me to go out and spread the gospel to all nations, especially those who don't already know him. The Jesus I know told me to love even my enemies.
Our Lord also told His first disciples to go only unto the Jew.
Also, you have now made me even more scared of extremist Christians (Not fundamentalists, mind you. A fundamentalist is someone who takes everything in the Bible at face value. You, on the other hand, misinterpret things and claim that it is in the Bible.
Show me one thing we have misinterpreted. I'll wait.
Does Jesus tell us to love every pervert on earth? If so, what did He create hell for?

It is clear to me that we are following two separate people. The Jesus you people know laughs as people burn in hell.

You, on the other hand, misinterpret things and claim that it is in the Bible. That's what I'm scared of- people like you trying to rewrite the Bible.) than I am of Nazis. That is a tough thing to do, as I have an irrational fear of Nazis and still have nightmares about being in concentration camps.
God is LOVE. That's all I've got.
(If you find this post to be extremely offensive and/or incoherent, feel free to blame Pokemon. I used to play the games but sort of got bored with games in general. I've never watched the anime regularly because it doesn't impress me and I never watch TV. Anyways, I still think the pokemon are cute, beautiful, or sometimes just sort of weird. Their abilities are more like those of superheroes than of any stylized media demons I've heard of. The makers even said that the whole idea came about because kids like superheroes and kids like animals, so why not combine the two? The "obsessive" collection aspect came from a Japanese boy's hobby- insect collecting. What a fine way to explore God's creation! The original idea was quite pure, but, over time, worse things leaked in. Most tv shows are pretty inappropriate these days. While the games are not immune, they are far more wholesome than, say, Yugioh, which doesn't hide the fact that it uses demons, or, say, Grand Theft Auto, which is apparently just a carnival of violence. I can't comment on the toys, because I don't play with toys. I can say that I have never, ever met a three-year old boy who was a perfect little angel and never disrespected his elders. Most of them are absolutely atrocious and get into trouble if you stop watching them for three seconds, and I still love them. They do this when they have toys, but they do it even more when they have no toys to distract them from sticking their fingers in the electrical outlets.)
