I guess its mere existence threatens Christ?
Just as you fear some cardboard and plastic, so the muslim fundamentalists fear a woman's skin.
Just because you don't like the comparison is not my problem.
You can all run around saying that all you want, but it is just a piece of cardboard and some plastic to me.
Satan doesn't live in a piece of cardboard.
Well maybe with enough flame retardant.
Killing can be justified on some occasions (self-defense, just war, execution) whereas summoning spirits cannot.
I’ve never really seen anything supernatural, but some of my family and friends have had ‘supernatural’ experiences so I think it’s out there. One of them tells me her experiences increased after using a ouija board as a young girl, and the experiences were somewhat traumatic.
Troll city around here.
Apparently Christians’ mere presence around here threatens YOU.
“Satan doesn’t live in a piece of cardboard.”
That argument has failed. Give it up.
When that particular “piece of cardboard” is used, the users dispose themselves, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, in a way that often opens them to the influence of Satan or other malign spirits, at the same time that it attracts malevolent attention.
The nature of the object is irrelevant. It could be cardboard, ivory, gold, or the body of a sacrifice. It could be just people sitting around a table trying to hold a seance. Doesn’t matter.
You can keep talking about how it’s only a piece of cardboard, but I think most of us understand why that is completely irrelevant.
I am neither threatened by Christians nor by cardboard.
My faith is solid...it is not threatened by the existence of the Koran, the Satanic Bible or the Ouija board.
Perhaps you should examine your own faith if it is threatened so easily.
BINGO!!!! Key word here is "used"!!!!!!!
I agree that the object is irrelevant and not worthy of all the angst being thrown around this thread.
The "act" of engaging in sorcery is against the teachings of Christ. What tools you use to conduct such acts are irrelevant and are neither good nor evil.
And now it's just "cardboard and plastic". That sounds a bit boring, earlier you were calling a Ouija board "harmless fun".
What's so fun about it?
That's what the argument has been here all along. Glad to see you get it now.
I can play with a Ouija board as harmless fun because I do not believe the Ouija board can do anything good or evil because I am a disciple of Christ.
Only mankind can engage in good or evil.
The bible has been used for evil.....that does not make the bible a bad thing.
Good or evil is in the soul of the person...not in some book and not in some game.
Good or evil is an act....not an object.
A thing does not need to “threaten a faith” in order to be discerned through spiritual eyes to be foolish to get involved with. After all would you go into a S&M biker bar, holler “Hi, bro!” and slap the nearest Hell’s Angel on the back?
It has become abundantly clear that you are the one who, while casting your personal projections, are basing your faith on cardboard and plastic.
What do you think is helping nudge the planchette along?
Anybody who knows bible history realizes that God has not entirely diverced the material from the spiritual.
This realization is the only way that a Ouija board could be fun. Otherwise it would be a crashing bore.
What the hell is your problem?
I never said that this thing threatened Christ. It threatens the souls of those that try to use it.
Do you need finger puppets?
Holy cow! It is not just going to sit there on the shelf of Toys R Us. Some kid is going to get their hands on it and use it. That is the problem!
Anyway, I’m done with you. There is simply no way of getting through to you.
By the way, nothing threatens Christ. He trumps all, and that includes you!
“What tools you use to conduct such acts are irrelevant and are neither good nor evil.”
Selling that particular tool instigates children to engage in evil.
They’re afraid they’re channeling the President?
Heeheeheehee...
