What The Bible Says About Body Piercing?

What Does the Bible Say About Piercing the Body?

Song of Solomon 2:15 says, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes." Sometimes, in search of food, foxes would enter the grape orchards, devour the grapes, and spoil the crop. However, the little foxes were too small to reach the grape bunches, so they would chew on the vines, and it would kill the whole vine. Instead of the farmer losing his crop, he would lose his vine, which was more disastrous. Spiritually, some things we do or allow that we might think are little or insignificant can also be catastrophic.

Many of the young people in our society here in the USA are embracing a dangerous "little fox" or seemingly "little thing" that may seem harmless. The young people are saying that it is a "trendy" thing to do. Many of them show off multiple ears, noses, tongues, eyebrows, and navel jewels and rings attached to their pierced flesh. Some even have this done on unspeakable parts of their bodies. These are abnormal and unnatural.

As many people are unaware of the spiritual dangers of such practices, this article is not meant to condemn anyone who may already have done this. However, we urge you to seek the Lord for further involvement in this practice. The Lord loves everyone, no matter what we do; however, His desire is to show us a better way.

The Bible warns us against cuttings in our flesh in Leviticus 19:28, which says, "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord."

Our young people do not realize what they are doing has its roots in witchcraft and the practices of false religions. Those who have made trips to other parts of the world have viewed the bodies of those who have not only pierced and tattooed their bodies but have gone further with mutilating their bodies. It is repulsive to see someone deform the body that the Lord made in perfection. The Lord admonishes us in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20,

"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

If we are to glorify God in our bodies, how do body piercings glorify Christ?

In 1 Kings 18 we find the story of Elijah contesting the evil prophets of Baal (a false god of that day whose followers practiced witchcraft). The prophets of Baal worked themselves into a frenzy trying to get their god, Baal, to show himself to be mightier than the true and living God. However, the God of Elijah proved to be the true God. During the frenzy of the Baal worshipers, they began to disfigure their bodies, as we see from this scripture in 1 Kings 18:28, "And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them."

Another scripture that warns us not to disfigure our bodies is Deuteronomy 14:1(Amp.): "You are the sons of the LORD your God: you shall not cut yourselves, or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead."
When it speaks here about doing this in relation to the dead; this was a witchcraft rite done to mourn or remember their dead, so cutting, piercing and tattooing have its origin in witchcraft practices. The verse below reveals a connection between foreign gods and earrings.

Genesis 35:2: "Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem."

Perhaps a more well-known scripture related to earrings is the record of the children of Israel falling into rebellion and worshipping the golden calf while Moses was up on the mount with God, receiving the Ten Commandments. Here, we find they took their earrings, cast them into the fire, and made a golden idol, which greatly displeased the Lord.

Exodus 32:2-3: "And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people break off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron."

There is one specific verse in the Old Testament that uses the Hebrew word "lachash," which is a word associated explicitly with witchcraft. Here, the jewelry is used as an amulet to cast a spell.

Isaiah 3:18-23: "In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, 19 The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 20 The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21 The rings, and nose jewels, 22 The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, 23 The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils."

This is what makes it spiritually dangerous for people. People do not realize this opens the door for Satanic attack because they have a mark or opening that allows the enemy entrance into their lives. Today, this practice is growing because of false religions and pagan influences infiltrating the church.

Many of our young people are getting body piercings and tattoos out of a spirit of rebellion against their parent's advice. Many men are also wearing earrings to make a statement of their rebellion by showing that they are "macho" or homosexual. Because the youth of our day are despising and rebelling against their parents, this is very displeasing to the Lord as one of the Ten Commandments in the Bible is to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12, "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee" and Colossians 3:20: "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.")

Some complain and say that most of the women today in our society wear pierced earrings, and they attempt to use this as an excuse for the bizarre body piercings they are flaunting. The Lord always judges what we do by our motives as He looks at the heart. It is different when women wear pierced earrings as a custom, without the rebellion and pride attached to it. However, this could even be wrong if women are filled with vanity and pride over their appearance. Remember, God looks at our heart attitudes. In fact, the Bible speaks of a generation of women who will be alive at the coming of the Lord and will be judged severely for their flirting and their haughtiness. Let us look again at the prophecy in Isaiah 3:16-24 (NIV):

16 The LORD says, "The women of Zion are haughty, walking along with outstretched necks, flirting with their eyes, tripping along with mincing steps, with ornaments jingling on their ankles.
17 Therefore the Lord will bring sores on the heads of the women of Zion; the Lord will make their scalps bald."
18 In that day the Lord will snatch away their finery: the bangles and headbands and crescent necklaces,
19 The earrings, the bracelets and veils,
20 The head dresses and ankle chains and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms,
21 The signet rings and nose rings,
22 The fine robes and the capes and cloaks, the purses
23 And mirrors, and the linen garments and tiaras and shawls.
24 Instead of fragrance there will be a stench; instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well dressed hair, baldness; instead of fine clothing, sackcloth: instead of beauty, branding.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, your warriors in battle.

We are living in a day that the Bible speaks of in 2 Timothy 3:1-7:

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

If you have been one that has been led away by lust or have been rebellious against your parents, you can come to the Lord and repent, and He will give you a new start and a desire to live a holy and obedient life unto God. We should remove anything that portrays rebellion and ask the Lord to forgive us and give us a submissive spirit. Jesus does not condemn us but rather will help us. He loves us and invites us to a beautiful life in Him.

One note of warning to the church on this subject of body piercings. We now have a generation of young people who love the Lord yet do not understand His ways. Soon, we will also see a great revival among the world's youth. The youth of this day want a real cause to live and die for. Most have not seen true Christianity. However, when they come to Christ, many will bring their tattoos, dress, music, and old habits with them right into the church. 

We must be sure that we do not despise or look down on them but rather welcome and love them and gently teach them the ways of the Lord. We are called to worship and pray for them and help them avoid making some of the mistakes we have made in our own walk with the Lord. We need to be true mothers and fathers to them. Yes, we must speak the truth in love, but let us ensure we love them and not condemn them. 

On the other hand, we must not accept all that they would desire to bring with them that would harm them and compromise the Word of God. We will all need God's grace to bridge the generation gap. We recommend a great article on this subject written by a young Christian. Click here to read "Bridging the Generation Gap."

The bottom line regarding body piercings would be to ask the famous youth slogan, "What Would Jesus Do?" I don't believe we will ever see Jesus with any body piercings that He placed on Himself. I can't imagine Jesus with a tongue ring or a navel piercing. The only scars on His body are the nail-pierced hands and feet put there by the evil men who crucified Him. They were not self-inflicted. Overcomers will put away the "little foxes" that lead to more considerable compromises.

EDITOR'S NOTE: We are including a testimony of a former Hindu who knows only too well that body piercings and tattoos are a form of witchcraft:

Easter Pagan Origin

Easter Pagan Origin - Christians See the Truth

Easter Pagan Holiday of Fertility

We must first understand that professing Christians were not the only ones who celebrated a festival called "Easter." Easter is a pagan goddess. 

Easter Meaning

"Ishtar," which is pronounced "Easter," was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods whom they called "Tammuz," who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun god.

In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah's sons named Ham.

Ham had a son named Cush, who married a woman named Semiramis. Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him "Nimrod."

After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a mighty King.

The Bible tells of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar."

Nimrod became a god-man to the people, and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the mighty Queen of ancient Babylon.

Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut into pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.

Semiramis had all the parts gathered except one that could not be found.

That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called "Baal," the sun god.

Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth as a flame, whether a candle or lamp, when used in worship.

Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess.

Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.

Easter Egg

She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28-day cycle and ovulated when complete.

She claimed she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.

This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Semiramis became known as "Ishtar," which is pronounced "Easter," and her moon egg became known as "Ishtar's" egg."

Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that the sun god Baal's rays caused her to conceive.

The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.

Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, which became sacred in the ancient religion because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.

The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.

Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz had now ascended to his father, Baal, and that they would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son, and Spirit.

Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the "Mother of God and Queen of Heaven," continued to build her mystery religion.

The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a whole new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.

Lent

"Lent." Where did "Lent" come from?" Is it the past tense of "to lend"? Is it something found in one's navel? Lent is not found in the Bible! She also proclaimed a forty-day period of time of sorrow each year before the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.

During this time, no meat was to be eaten.

Lent was directly borrowed from the worshippers of the Babylonian goddess. Such a Lent of forty days, `in the spring of the year,' is still observed by the Yezidis or pagan devil-worshippers of Koordistan, who have inherited it from their early masters, the Babylonians. Such a Lent of forty days was held in the spring by the pagan Mexicans, for thus we read in Humboldt [Mexican Researches where he gives an account of Mexican observances: `Three days after the vernal equinox…began a solemn fast of forty days in honor of the sun.' Such a Lent of forty days was observed in Egypt, as may be seen in consulting Wilkinson's Egyptians. This Egyptian Lent of forty days, we are informed by Landseer, in his Sabean Researches, was held expressly in commemoration of Adonis or Osiris, the great mediatorial god"

Easter Cakes

Jeremiah 7:17-20 - "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

"Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?

"Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger, and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched."

Worshippers were to meditate upon the sacred mysteries of Baal and Tammuz and to make the sign of the "T" in front of their hearts as they worshipped. They also ate sacred cakes with the marking of a "T" or cross on the top.

Every year, a celebration was made on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Rabbits and Eggs

It was Ishtar's Sunday and was celebrated with rabbits and eggs.

Ishtar also proclaimed that because Tammuz was killed by a pig, a pig must be eaten on that Sunday.

By now, the readers should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary "Christian" churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.

The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We also know Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Sunrise Services

Now, notice the biblical reference to sunrise services: "Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz" [Nimrod; the sun god].

"Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.

"And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east." The sun is in the east at its RISING! This is nothing less than a "SUNRISE" service—sun worship at the sun's dawning!

"Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger…Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them" (Ezekiel 8:13-18).

This is the only place in the Bible where men are described as turning their backs on God's temple, facing the SUN at its rising, and worshipping the sun!

The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but they are a great distance apart in some years.

So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you if you seek the truth.

The Bible tells us in John 4:24, "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and truth."

The forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits, hot cross buns, and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon. These are all antichrist activities!

Satan is a master deceiver and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.

These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian.

You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children.
These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan and is still worshipped as the "Rising Sun," and his house is the "House of the Rising Sun."

How many churches have "sunrise services" on Ishtar's day and face the rising sun in the East?

How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon?

These things are no joke, any more than Judgement Day is a joke.

We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by
praying for you.

These are the last days, and it is time to repent, come out and be
separate.

THE HISTORY OF HALLOWEEN

Why We Should Not Participate as Christians

"Mom, can I dress up like Casper this year? Dad, can we carve a jack-o-lantern and put it on the porch?"

Halloween...costume-clad children happily skipping from door to door shouting "trick or treat," expecting to fill their bags with candy, gum, and other goodies...houses decorated with jack-o-lanterns, pumpkins, witches with broomsticks, and black cats. These are the most common of the celebration of Halloween. They are all make-believe...or are they?

Each year at Halloween, parents are faced with the dilemma of what the world calls harmless fun and their own concerns about the spiritual significance of this holiday. While we all have to hear God for ourselves concerning these decisions, we thought the following history might be helpful to you and your family.

Halloween, which directly stems from Irish, Scottish, and British folk customs, was celebrated as the Druids' autumn festival. The Druids were an order of priests who worshipped nature. This holiday was originally celebrated to honor Samhain, lord of the dead, on October 31 (the end of the summer). The Druids believed that on this date, Sambain called all the wicked souls that had been condemned within the last year to live in animal bodies. He was believed to have released them in the form of spirits, ghosts, fairies, witches, and elves.

According to Druidic tradition, these souls of the dead roamed the city on Halloween night and returned to haunt the homes where they once lived. The only way the current house occupants could free themselves from being haunted was to lay out food and give shelter to the spirit during the night. If they did not, the spirit would cast a spell on them. That is where the phrase "trick or treat" comes from: They would be tricked if they did not lay out a treat.

The jack-o-lantern was also a part of this belief system. The carved pumpkin symbolized a damned soul named Jack. According to the tale, Jack was not allowed into heaven or hell. So, he wandered around in the darkness with his lantern until Judgement Day. Fearful people hollowed out turnips (and later pumpkins in the United States), carved an evil face on them, and lit a candle inside to scare him and the other evil spirits away.

The Druids had other outlandish beliefs which have also turned into tradition. For example, they feared black cats because they believed that when a person committed evil, he would be turned into a cat. Cats were thus considered to be evil. To scare them away, the Druids decorated their homes with witches, ghosts, and the like. They were also adorned with cornstalks, pumpkins, and other goods of thanks and praise to their false gods.

In addition to Halloween, October 31 was the New Year's Eve of the Celts and Anglo-Saxons. To celebrate, they built huge bonfires on hilltops to frighten away evil spirits. They often offered their crops and animals to the evil ones as sacrifices - sometimes, they even provided themselves.

Some people believe that the only significant part of Halloween is All Hallow's Eve, the evening before All Saint's Day. The Catholic Church initially celebrated All Saint's Day in May. About A.D. 83-4, the Romans conquered the Celts and moved All Saints' Day to November 1. The celebration remained the same, except for minor additions. The Roman Harvest Festival was then held in honor of the goddess Pamona, the goddess of fruit and trees (the practice of bobbing for apples derived from this). They also wanted to honor the newly overpowered descendants of the Druids in Germany and Scandinavia. Therefore, All Saint's Day and Halloween became unified because of the same ties to reverencing the dead.

The combination of these customs eventually became the traditional celebration we call Halloween.

Why Christians Should Not Listen to Rock Music

Looking at the History of Rock Music

First, we have to look at the history. You said you are not a Christian, so I will try to explain this to you. First, before man was ever on earth, there was an angel called Satan, who created a beautiful musical creature: "...every precious stone was thy covering,...the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou waste created" (Ezek 28:13). Since music was built into his very nature are we foolish enough to assume that he will not use it to deceive and enslave today?

As you read the history of rock and roll, observe how Satan brought in his rock music in the 1950s and slowly degenerated it to its present level of baseness. 

The New Testament has much more to say about the activity of Satan. In fact, all the biblical authors make some reference to the devil. He is called the evil one, the tempter, the diabolos (the slanderer), the serpent, the dragon, and the prince of the powers of the air. The prince of the powers of the air! Does that mean the airways and such? Could that mean musical influence to pull people or keep people away from the Lord?

The Scriptures recognize music as a means for praise (Acts 16:25; Rom 15:9 [originally sung]), a means of expressing joy (Jam 5:13), thanksgiving (Psa 92:1-3), sorrow for sin (Is. 16:10), a means of prayer (1Co 14:15; Psa 72:20), and a means of teaching and spiritual communication (Col 3:16; Eph 5:19). Biblical music makers are professional (1Ch 15:22; 25:7; Is. 5:11-12; Ez. 33:32), as well as nonprofessional (Psa 100; 1Ki 1:39-40; 1Co 14:26; Eph 5:19; Col 3:16). 

There are those who direct music (Psa 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, etc.; Neh. 12:8) and teach music (1Ch 15:22). The people of the Bible overflow with music in every circumstance, including cultural uses placed in positive (1Sa 18:7) and negative terms (Eze 33:32). Music sounded in every aspect of life--work, play, celebration, and even war (Is. 16:10; Jer 48:33; Mat 11:17; Luke 15:25; Gen 31:27; Exodus 32:17-18; Ecc. 2:8; Jdg. 11:34-35; 2Sa 19:35). 

Jewish musicologist Abraham Idelsohn says, "As many references in the Bible to the music performed in secular life testify, Israel enjoyed life through vocal and instrumental music and associated music with dance and wine in which men and women participated.

Why We Are Not to Participate in Dungeons and Dragons! - move to wix

WHY NOT PARTICIPATE IN DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS OR OTHER FANTASY GAMES?

Dungeons and Dragons may seem to be harmless and very entertaining, but it is entertaining, but far from harmless. I have had friends who have experienced the game, and they now know its effects. It becomes a way to escape reality for most of those who play it. It is a way of letting tension and anxieties loose. And that is good. But subjecting the mind to the amount of violence involved isn't. It is far more alarming than good, especially to a young mind. And an 18 or 20-year-old still has a young mind. Its effects are both mental and physical. It is in comparison to drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. It is very possessive, addictive, and evil. Evil may sound wrong or peculiar to explain a game, but there is no other way to describe it. It is a device of Satan to lure us away from God. It is an occult.

Dungeons and Dragons and an Occult Practice  

An occult, you say? What is an occult? Defined in the American Family and School Dictionary, a publication based on the American College Dictionary, prepared by Random House, Inc., it is beyond the bounds of ordinary knowledge, magical, supernatural, and mystical. Staying on the same subject, let's define occultism: the doctrine or study of the paranormal, magical, imaginary, etc. It is stated concisely that it is the participation or involvement in any way with fortune telling, magic practices, spiritism, or false religions, cults, and teachings. 

Within that category is using an Ouija board, ESP, telepathy, horoscope, a seance, yoga, remote influence of the subconscious mind of others, self-hypnosis, following astrology, and Dungeons and Dragons. They are all connected with an occult or are considered an occult practice. All such occults are condemned by God in the Scriptures, being an abomination to Him, and are under His curse. To quote a passage from an article written by Dr. Hobart E. Freeman, I write the following:

Scriptures Condemn Occultism  

"The Scriptures condemn all forms of occultism as sorcery and warn that.... they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God" (Gal. 5:19-21), but ".....are an abomination unto the Lord" (Deut. 18:12), and ".... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone" (Rev. 21:8).
From earliest times, God forbade occultism as spiritually defiling (Lev. 19:31) and made participation in it punishable by death (Ex. 22:18; Lev. 20:27) and cause for rejection of that soul by God (Lev. 20:6).

Dungeons and Dragons are based on magic and the supernatural. There is, in fact, a hard-bound book entitled "Deities and DemiGods" to inform you of the "gods" involved in the game. It gives complete details of the "gods," and it expects you as a player character to pick a "god" to worship him/her. To pray to, to sacrifice to, to obey. And to die for if necessary.

Dungeons and Dragons is based on Supernatural and Magic.

 
Not only is the game based on the supernatural and magic, but it involves violence. Serious violence! This type of violence is not allowed on TV. There is hack-and-slash murder, rape, thievery, pillaging and terrorism. And in the game, it is natural and expected for a character to do those things. A character must, at least, murder and rob to survive. And it is the object of the game to survive. Do whatever you must, to anybody or anything, to survive and become more powerful and wealthy. The more you do those things, the longer you live. The longer you live, the more powerful you become, and usually, with power comes wealth.

You may be saying, "All of that may be true, but what does that have to do with me (or my children)? It has everything to do with you (or your children) if you (or they) are involved in the game. As I have repeated several times, the game is played or imagined entirely in the mind. Totally and only in the mind. The conscious mind experiences these visions as reality while playing. And if it is played, let's say, 3-5 times a week, 4-8 hours each time, the conscious mind becomes accustomed to such acts of violence. 

Then, when the person is finished playing for that day, it is all pushed back to the subconscious supposedly. But it is known that the mind is mighty and unexplainable. It is very possible for the subconscious mind to "overpower" the conscious mind. Suddenly, you are no longer in total control of your mind. The "fantasy game" becomes a "reality game." You begin to live it for real. Everything you do or say involves or associates with the game itself. You no longer play the game for enjoyment; you play it because you must. You must have it (play it) just like a person on drugs, alcohol, or tobacco must have it. It is an addiction. And your mind is under the control of the game. It is possessed by the game.

Now, you're probably saying that won't happen to me (or my children) because I won't let it happen or I'm too bright for that to happen. Believe me, it happens! And it happens to anyone. Being a deliverance minister, I have done deliverance on people who have participated in D&G. It has occurred to my friends. It has happened to many college students who have committed suicide or have done some serious bodily harm to themselves and or others. It has happened to many younger teenagers, 13 and 14. The destruction it can cause to the mind and soul is incredible. It's somewhat unexplainable. I and many others have had some horrible experiences because of the game, and I am writing on their behalf to warn or make you aware of the game. It is dangerous and against God's command.

As I've said, there are numerous recorded accounts of teenagers 13 to 19 and some older persons who have had some troublesome experiences. Many have committed suicide due to the game. Many have caused severe harm to themselves or other individuals. Some have caused the death of a friend or family member by accident, but because of the "game," they took the "game" one step too far. "Playing" it for real one time too many. For some, it was the last time they played it or any other game. Many were lucky, but you may not be.

And the fact is that you don't even have to be playing the game at the time. The mind is continuously "playing" the game. You could have played it 2 or 3 days prior, but your mind is still playing.

So, please, for your own safety and salvation and the safety of others, don't play the game anymore. If you don't play it now, don't even start. It is more dangerous than I can fully explain. Don't play with your physical life that way, and don't condemn your soul to hell by participating in the game.

I know you said you are not a Christian. I’m surprised you are on this board asking such a question. You must have experienced something very negative, or maybe you have had Christians telling you it is wrong. I’m telling you what I know cause it can lead to problems. I hope this helps answer some of your questions. Cause the more you play, the more you become a SLAVE to it. It is very addictive.

I hope to hear your feelings about what I’ve written. The Lord loves you and died for you. He became a curse for the world so we could be His children and rescued from darkness. Brother/sister, you are in darkness. The end times are about to start, and there are two places people will go when it is all said and done. Either heaven or hell. Think about what I said. The Lord Jesus died for you so that you could have eternal life of peace and not eternal life of torment and hell. I thank you for becoming vulnerable to ask such a question.

Pokemon and Christianity?

Know exactly whose side you're on. There is a division. There is a difference between truth and lie. Do not be fools and succumb (willingly, that's worse!) to the devil's wiles. He knows his time is short, and thus, he's like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. Avoid him and flee. (read 1 Timothy)

This is the experience of one family:

"Our firsthand experience with 'Pokemon', specifically the 'Red' and 'Blue' Gameboy Versions, involved William, our 8-year-old. A Christian friend gave William the video game for his birthday. Our review of the packaging and the very scanty instructions provided with the game did not raise any red flags, so William began to play the game. The game involves a very intricate journey, with fights between little creatures at each step, to capture all of the Pokemon. The game created an addiction and anxiety in the child, which made me uncomfortable, but as we had only just purchased the 'Game Boy' toy itself, I figured it was just the nature of video games in general.

Two months into playing the game (it takes about four months to finish), William came to me one morning asking what 'channeling' was. He emotionally spilled out that there were evil spirits and ghosts in his Pokemon game, that channelers were calling forth the spirit of a dead Pokemon's mother, that it was terrifying, and that he thought it was terrible. He should get rid of the game. All of Pokemon is evil, said one child.

What Does Pokemon Represent?

William also brought to my attention:

• Sabrina, a character who bends a spoon with her mind
• Leader Koga, who William says is a warlock
• A girl who roams around asking players if ghosts are real. If the player answers "No," the girl replies, "Oh, I guess that white glove you're wearing isn't real." If the player answers "Yes", the girl 'freaked out' according to William.
• The way to increase your 'power' in the game is to drain the life of another 'Clefairy' character who bows down to worship a moonstone.

I learned that William had been having a recurring bad dream. The morning he came to me, he said he had woken up from his dream, knowing that he had to tell me about what was in the game and that he had to get rid of the game. He never had the dream again. I later studied the official Pokemon Guide, a $12 magazine purchased at video stores. I found that in the "Pokemon Tower" portion of the game, the Pokemon creatures cannot 'fight' with the game's characters because they are possessed by evil spirits. In fact, the text "I can't right now, I'm possessed" actually appears on the Game Boy screen. We thank God that he made up for our sloppy parenting! We also thank Him for giving William a heart for what is right and the ability to discern when power is not coming from the One True God."

This article talks about the occult and many Pagan philosophies and practices - please do not read if this type of discussion scares you - and please pray about what you let your children play with and watch.

Truth About Pokemon

What is Pokemon? Sometimes, cute little creatures battle each other. My son and I were trading the cards and playing the game - I observed groups of children role-playing the Pokemon characters for a period of four months. I watched the anime (cartoons or Japanimation) and extensively researched the subtle influences on the Pokemon world before writing this paper. Out of much prompting, I finished this and I pray it helps many of you make an informed decision about whether or not Pokemon is a game that you want your children to play with.

All of the Pokemon is the result of entirely mystical influences. These are just to name a few:

Buddhist Mysticism, Hinduism meditation rituals, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Book of Tao, the Analects of Confucius, the Gita, the I Ching, and the Tibetian Book of the Dead: All these philosophies influenced Pokemon!

C.G. Jung summarizes all these philosophies in his theory of 'collective unconsciousness and assures his followers of the congeniality with occultic energy sciences and the evolutionary sciences with the occultic practices and tapping into the water energy, fire energy, leaf energy, and wind energy you can achieve spiritual enlightenment and success - all of which are incorporated in Pokemon. Jung draws upon Oriental conceptions of consciousness to broaden the concept of 'projection': Not only the 'wrathful' demons/monster (pocket monsters) but also the 'peaceful' deities/spirits (pikachu's) are conceived as animal projections of the human psyche - the fundamental religious teaching and gameplay in Pokemon!

Color energy cards:

In the Tibetan tradition, life is a 'game', and they state that each level of game existence is associated with a particular color and certain geographical symbols. Note the energy cards in Pokemon have colors and elements that also refer to powers and positions. In Tibetan teaching, each person (trainer of projections) has to learn to decode his own internal road map. The Tibetian indicators may be used as a starting point. The purpose is clear: one should follow the signs of the three higher types and shun those of the three lower. One should follow the light and pleasant visions and shun dark and dreary ones. Look at the Pokemon cards - both are represented and role-played by our children.

Recently, I observed a group of children who were role-playing Pokemon. They were making evil faces and chanting their Pokemon character names repeatedly! One three-year-old was chasing another boy, almost trance-like in expression, saying in a deep raspy voice, "Bulbasore attack, Bulbasore, Bulbasore".

Shinto teaches that all such natural features were felt to have a god behind their power. Many Shinto beliefs were incorporated into Japanese Buddhist practices after its introduction in the 6th century. Just as they believe in evolution and reincarnation, these ideas are manifest in all of the Pokemon. Some of the cards show creatures associated with Satan (dragons, ghosts, wizards, etc.) and are typical examples of the dark side of Pokemon. Haunter, an evolved spirit, can hypnotize and has 'dream eater' power (powered by the purple Pokemon energy cards, the psychic energy). This power lets him drain the energy from his opponents. Some Eastern and New Age philosophies teach this principle and call spirits that can do 'energy vampires'. This is just the tip of the iceberg! The Pokemon game contains many typologies manifest in the cards that reflect the philosophies of Shinto with mystic Buddhism and many other beliefs.

Pokemon Evolving

In Pokemon, the monsters die to their old self and evolve into the new, more powerful Pokemon. This is the teaching of Eastern mystery religions, spelled out in the Egyptian Book of the Deed and other occult religions.

All the Pokemon evolve and take on new characteristics, and one (Evee) can evolve into one of two completely different Pokemon. Children are subtly indoctrinated in the Pokemon game's theory of evolution and mysticism. What other influences are evident in Pokemon? It gets more unbelievable and shocking as you read on! Wicca, Witchcraft, Paganism, Satanism, 'New Age', and other occultic influences influence Pokemon. Wicca, or Witchcraft, is today's popular and fast-growing religious practice. Most witches/warlocks consider their practice something learned by experience, not books. They undergo many incredible rituals to become influential in the 'craft.' Pokemon trainers must undergo a lot of training and ritual-type actions to become 'Master Trainers,' with the ability to control the Pokemon and their powers.

In Pokemon, trainers summon one of their Pokemon to battle other monsters and use them as guardians. In Wicca, guardians known as Watchtowers are called. These spirits (and sometimes animals) are called by them to protect them from 'evil' spirits while they open themselves up to them during rituals - the circle, the pentagram, etc.- all provide a 'safe' area to practice. (In Pokemon, the monsters are held in a Pokeball until the master summons them). 

In witchcraft, these spirits are summoned and called to stay in the circle until needed to fight off evil spirits. These guardians in Pagan practice are often the spirits with whom a person feels comfortable and has developed some form of a relationship (in Pokemon, the trainers befriend their 'pocket monsters' and develop trusting and advice-seeking relationships with them). Possible guardians might be one of the Ancestors, a "spirit guide!' or other spiritual entity (including animal spirits and even real animals - like typical witches' black cat) with which the person is familiar.

This occurs in Pokemon play - the pocket monsters are captured, trained, and summoned as needed.

Most Pagan and earth-based religions and philosophies find power in the Four Elements - Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. These are the energy cards in the Pokemon game!

What are we allowing to come into our homes? The elements in Pokemon are foundational to many earth religions and mystic rituals. We draw our power from God, not the earth!

One last example of occultic practices and Pokemon.
In Paganism and the Occult, there are spirit guides, messengers, and elementals or artificial elementals. They can be summoned to do things for the 'trainer' or practitioner'.

They can:
1. Watch and tell the trainer what he sees
2. Guard the trainer
3. Fight with other spirits or elementals
4. Carry out assignments given by the trainers.

Pagans can capture free elementals (like Pokemon trainers capture pocket monsters) and build relationships with them for use like Pokemon trainers). Witches, shamans, etc., recommend only master practitioners do this because you are not masters of the elementals, just like Pokemon trainers are not masters of the pocket monster - and they warn that they can be hard to get rid of and may require an exorcism to become free of a bad one.

Anti Anti Pokemon

Please pray and do what the Lord instructs you to do - it is time to take a stand for God and protect our children from the influences of the enemy! My son is six and we had a whole book of Pokemon cards - after praying about it he made the decision to get rid of his cards because he could see they were evil!

I am not about to 'abolish the wickedness of Pokemon' - God had me write this paper to alert individuals to the occultic influences and the potential for instilling false beliefs.

My son and I both enjoyed collecting the cards. I made an excellent binder, and it was fun trading the Pokemon. Every time he asked me about the occultic powers, I shrugged and said, "As long as you know that it is from the enemy, God's power is better and different."

Then they began saying something close to the terminology used in occultic rituals - and they somehow got it from Pokemon. So, I only researched the game and compared it to various religions. There are, as you read, some apparent connections.

In gameplay, you can open yourself up to an authentic power that has one goal - your emotional instability, self-seeking powers, the occult, and eventual death.

Yes, Pokemon is cute fun, and the anime cartoon is refreshingly simple - but it is also subtly occultic and can influence young people to follow the wrong path. Anything that has this potential should not be part of a Christian home.
