Look here, troll. You are the only one who would ever think such a thing because you are disgusting jap cartoon loving squinty eyed GOD mocker. We think know that he came from Heaven on a white horse because it says so right there in the Bible.
You have stumbled onto the wrong forum, boy. here we praise Jesus, we don't care for your make believe characters you spend every hour of every day singing praises for - at least we know GOD is real, and not some figment of our feeble imagination.
Revelation 19
11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
6 A woman came up to me the other day, 12/6/2016 and said:
"But Mr. Winner, if GOD loves everyone then why is there so much suffering in the world?"
Because GOD doesn't love everyone. Too many people have this absurd idea in their heads that GOD is all loving.
If he was all loving, then murderers, thieves and homosexuals would be waiting for you in Heaven.
GOD doesn't open his gate to just anyone. Being a True Christian™ is like a Queue Jump ticket at Disney, we are guaranteed a ride with JESUS.

Fine, if you choose not to talk you won't mind the fact that you've been put on moderation for three days, so anything you post will have to be manually approved by a mod. Maybe that'll give you some motivation to try and post something worthwhile.
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

I am a christian and I also partake in and enjoy the fandom of Pokemon. So far I've seen it cause friendships and has allowed me to earn money to travel and see God's wonderous world. I see no problem with this as long as people don't take it to mean anything more than a fun past time. To me it's a nice way to have down time between studying and attending church. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I doubt there is any subliminal mesage to worship satan or any such thing. Just because it is not from America doesn't mean it's bad. The entirity of the bible takes place outside America and it's the best thing ever!
So while these people may not have the best methods of doing so, in the end, I think they're just trying to say that perhaps there are worse things in this world to worry about than a children's series about friendship and striving to be the best who you can be.

You didn't read this thread from the beginning, did you.
I'll give you the short version: You can't be a Christian if you worship the pokerman demons. Case closed.

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

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?

Much like no one forced you to come here to whine about our views?
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

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.

I suppose Jesus is some nobody?
1 Corinthians 2:15-16 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

I know I'm not in Satans grasp, for I dismiss his existance. I have done no evil (as far as me and my friends are concerned) in my life to prove Satan has a hold on me.

The reason I joined was to voice my opinion, as I have quite strong feelings about how you cannot leave anything modern alone. The vibe you give off is that everything not directly related to the Bible is a sin, be it an innocent game or film with no intention of harming your faith or even somebody with a different faith.
I honestly considered trying be "saved", hence why I have done research (therefore stumbling upon this forum) on the different variations of Christianty, you have not given me a good impression with your unecessary hate on something that a huge, huge number of people enjoy.
Perhaps it is Satan that has caused me to be discouraged but I now doubt it.

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 .

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.
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. I don't see a problem with warning people about this, as there are some problems with Pokemon, but there are just as many problems with everything else, including movies, television, commercials, magazines, internet, etc. 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.
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?
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), so they turn the other cheek and go about and do what they want. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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 -

As Paul said in 1 Corinthians chapter 15, he was the least of all apostles, because he once persecuted God's own people, yet through God's grace he was still given another chance. God forgives. We as people are not in any position to bring or fathom what God is capable of. We only know, through the Bible, what God HAS done. What God CAN do we can not even grasp. 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)
