I can see how one would believe Pokemon is against God's Holy Word, and it is very understandable why someone of great intelligence would come to this conclusion.

    Romans 3:23 says for all have sin and come short of the glory of God. Again, I would like to say we are in a place where telling about God is the best we can do with God. We are not meant to bring about judgment to others. Matthew 7:2 says for the way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

    Our actions on earth do no matter at all. Our works, our abilities, everything we accomplish on earth means NOTHING if we are not saved by God's grace. Jesus is the only treasure we should seek on earth. To be like Jesus is to give everyone a chance, no matter what someone thinks about them or what type of predicament they are in. Jesus would not turn down a chance to speak with anyone (this includes murderers, rapists, idolaters, extortionists, wicked people, any type of person). On many occasions Jesus did things out of the norm in His society. The annointing of Jesus feet (Matthew 26:6-13; Mark 14:3-9; Luke 7:36-50; John 12:1-8), the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4) were all abnormal things in Jesus time. Why would He give these people his time? Because Jesus loved them...warts and all!

    I understand your opinion (or truth) on Pokemon, but that's irrelevant when we're called to love one another as Jesus would love us. (John 13:34-35)
    We are giving these sinners a chance by warning them away from sin and towards salvation. Why are you trying to stop us? You are just another agent of satan, aren't you? Admit your true allegiance.

    The quote from John 13 tells His disciples to love one another. He even says it will be known by this action that they are His disciples. He is not telling them to love unsaved trash that hate God and Jesus.

    2 John 1:10-11 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

    You are assuming that we make mistakes and have problems. What are you basing this information on? We are True Christians(tm), blessed by God. We never sin. Sounds like you are wrong.

    I won't fight you with that movie trailer, yes someone who was very twisted made that trailer, but that isn't even real.
    You saw it with your own eyes! How can you say it's not real?

    I have read the Bible several times, though I am no expert, I do know that the Bible says not to judge people or you will be judged.
    Did you read these parts?

    Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

    Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue
    talketh of judgment.

    Proverbs 31:9 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

    John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.



    1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

    I don't see a problem with warning people about this, as there are some problems with Pokemon,
    Then what are you whining about exactly?

    but there are just as many problems with everything else, including movies, television, commercials, magazines, internet, etc.
    The problems of which have all been covered somewhere on this website, I guarantee you.

    Where the problem comes in and where I've gotten really mad at this thread, is that you are practically condemning people just because they enjoy a video game, television show or a card game and telling them they are going to Hell because of it.
    We are telling people what the Bible says. You are trying to stop us. Some Christian you are.

    God is a loving God and he loves us for how we are. I agree with the person who had responded a while ago when he said that the only real thing that God cares about is what we do with our lives, our acceptance of Him and to spread the gospel to the world. How are you bringing glory to God's name by bashing these people for what they enjoy doing. I had never heard of the kids killing people for Pokemon cards, but people do that with everything, not that it makes it okay. Should we ban the great efforts of generations before us, because some people are twisted and try to find the evil in everything? Doesn't this mean that by making a thread on this website, that you are not promoting people to get on the internet and to find more "evils" that are also on the internet?
    We are saving people from eternal damnation. And you are trying to stop us. Why do you hate everybody so much? Why do you hate God?

    It's really sad that there are christians and people like you out there that go around and doing this to people. This is the problem and is the exact reason why we are having such problems bringing people to the Lord. Non-christians look at people like you and go, I don't want to turn into people like that and judge people that way (this isn't the only reason why they go against it, but it is an example),
    They are making a choice that will only land them in eternal hellfire. If they had followed our example, which is the example of the Bible, they would have been fine. It sounds like you are saying they refuse to be Christians only because we were True Christians(tm) in front of them. That's stupid.

    so they turn the other cheek and go about and do what they want.
    You are misapplying the phrase "turn the other cheek". How many times did you say you read the Bible?

    There are evils everywhere, granted I have never raised a child, but the point of parenting is not that we shelter our kids from the evils of this world, but rather to help them grow and deal with them and to show that there is goodness and love in everything, because there is no real way to shield them. We must raise them to deal with the things and people of this world, not to ignore them.
    You think we should teach our children that there is goodness and love in the things of satan and the antichrist? You want me to send my children to Hell by lying to them about what the Bible says?

    Pokemon was made by people in a different country and was created based on the creators love of catching bugs when he was younger, that was the viewpoint when it was first created. Japan is all about cute things, which is why they are so adorable. It's amazing that people in this world can take everything fun and turn it into something outrageous like this thread. There were also people that found that if they sat and paid attention long enough that they can find x amount of the word 'sex' in several of the Disney movies and therefore those are also evil. This is why our world is so corrupted.
    No, you are the reason the world is so corrupted. Lying, illiterate, fake Christians like you are the reason Hell is so populated and there is so much evil in the world.

    I am not condemning anyone here, everyone is right to their own opinion, but I did want to point out that just because you don't agree with what someone is doing, doesn't give you the right to tell them they are going to Hell, pastor or not. Just because you don't understand the fascination with this series, doesn't mean you should bash people because of it and certainly not put them down and put God's name in your bash. You are putting word's into God's mouth, whether you realize it or not, when you say that you can't be a christian and enjoy Pokemon. I urge you to find a verse in the Bible that says that things of that nature are evil.
    Again, you are just telling us that we shouldn't warn people who are on their way to Hell. You want us to lie to them and say that evil and sin are okay. I can't wait for you to wake up in Hell and receive everlasting punishment for these crimes you are committing by remorselessly typing these evil words.

    I thank God that he is not as evil as you make him out to be as a person who condemns people the way you are doing because of something they enjoy.
    We do not condemn anybody, liar. We only point out what the Bible condemns. And the Bible is the Word of God(c).

    Sorry if this sounds mean, but I just felt that I was led to bring this to your attention, just as you have about this warning. Thank you for trying to bring this to people's attention, but I assure you, there is no harm in Pokemon, no more harm that anything else of this world or that you are bringing by this thread.

    God Bless!
    Good riddance, sinner.

    First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

    Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

    Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .


    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.

    Re: Pokemon: (aka Poke-a-man) still a threat to families

    I'm posting this because I feel it's necessary to at least point this out to everyone on this thread. I am 21 years old and have played and watched Pokemon since I was very young. I am a christian and attend bible studys, help with children in not so fortunate upbringings around us, I've attended several mission trips and have done my best to help convert people as much as I can. I also have several friends who enjoy the series and one who is even training to become a missionary. I'm not the best christian in the world, I make mistakes and have problems just like everyone of you. I won't fight you with that movie trailer, yes someone who was very twisted made that trailer, but that isn't even real. That's not how the Pokemon show or game go, but it something stupid that someone made probably by someone like you guys who go around bashing people for what they watch.

    So exactly what is wrong with warning people about this.

    You could have easily dismissed everything we said and gone back to your heathen ways, but nope, you had to join our board to tell us how WRONG we are and that we should all go out and buy our kids demonic toys.

    Now why would you have that urge? What would make someone so upset about what Christians say about a demonic toy that they would have to come into their forum to push the point? Could it be that it's because you're in Satan's grasp and doing Satan's work without even realizing it?

    Matthew 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

    Now, I know this is a (somewhat) older thread, but there has been a horrifying development in the War on Pokemon (fought by all decent, God-fearing folk)! A new, live-action movie is in the works, and the trailer is so fraught with sin I had to pray for twenty minutes before I could even contemplate making this post.

    WARNING: PLEASE PRAY BEFORE WATCHING THIS SINFUL MOVIE TRAILER.



    Now, let me give a quick run-down of some of the sins this movie is encouraging:

    1. It seems to have clear animal-welfare terrorist associations. Animals are ours to do what we want with, not for some nutty protesters to decide!

    "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." Genesis 1:26

    2. It encourages consorting with familiar spirits! Pokemon are obviously demons that no True Christian™ child should ever be in contact with.

    "Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God." Leviticus 19:31

    "And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." Leviticus 20:6

    3. The end of days will most certainly not be precipitated by pokemon battles. The Bible is very clear that the Great Tribulation will involve many things, but one thing it definitely won't involve is any pokemon. Honestly, there is so much scripture regarding this subject it would be unwieldy to post just to show there are no mentions of pokemon in the Bible.

    And finally, there is this scripture:

    "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

    Does this demon-infested movie look like it glorifies our Lord and Savior?
