Thanks for the information. Are you, like the poster above you, relying information you were told, or ideas you believed from books you read....or are you speaking from actual experience.

It shouldn't matter, but it is from experience.

no need for the fear mongering.....for I know that the spirit of fear does not come from God....so it has no effect on me. When God said the fear the one who can destroy body and soul.....I dont believe he was talking about demons.

There is no fear mongering, but this is a serious issue. Blowing it off as trite is more dangerous than the alleged fear induced in hearing the information.

The question remains unanswered. Is your fear of the Lord greater than your fear of the devil? should not one outweigh the other in all cases? As one cannot serve two masters....?

There is no fear; our Father and the Redeemer have told us everything we need to know about demons, spirits and principalities: they exist, they are malevolent, and they seek to destroy us.

What you perceive as fear is urgency to counter-act the reckless scoffing of these types of things - especially from Christians. Other people read these forums and lurk.

Please dont try and say Im encouraging the use of these boards.....As Ive only said that they are a waste of time....and that those who fear it should stay away. If any words would encourage other to use, it would be the ones who try and put magic into the board and confirm its abilities.

I didn't say you are encouraging it; I specifically said that your lax attitude toward the issue, and your subtle marginalization of the dangers thereof are problematic: you are either doing the aforementioned, or, you know full well what you are doing, and you are misleading people.

Just because you haven't experienced the reality of the issue (and, you should be thanking our Father for that grace) doesn't mean the lot of us don't experience this reality, and/or know its real danger.

This thread is not about practicing witchcraft.....it is about playing a board game. And like you said....it is the user that makes it witchcraft.

I didn't say the user makes it witchcraft; all of it is witchcraft - including the wards and artifacts themselves. (Now I know you know nothing about witchcraft, or, you are pretending to be ignorant, which is an excellent thing.) Your skepticism on the subject is dangerous - particularly because it leads to a trap. A spirit board - no matter if it is made by a kid's gaming company, or on a computer - is witchcraft in and of itself.

The activity of contacting spirits is divination.

I find no fault in anything you have said or what you believe.

What I said comes from a large amount of personal research of documented exorcisms, and respected persons who serve the office of exorcist, like the chief exorcist of Rome. Personal experience is only required for knowledge of subjective experience not knowledge of objective truths. What do you derive your statements from?

The purpose of the Quija board is to summon spirits of the dead to channel their spirits into the bodies of the living.

I have no reason from scripture to believe spirits of the dead can be so summoned, but I know for a fact that demons exist from personal experience. I suspect that they respond to a call for spiritual influence other than the Holy Spirit.

Maybe on any given day no demon responds to someone playing with a Quija board.

Maybe on some given day, a demon does.

But why would I as a Christian want to contact any spirit other than the Holy One? That would be like a soldier going to a bar to deliberately contact an agent of the enemy...just for fun, you understand. Just for fun.

I remember reading Dr. Kurt Koch a christian who has investigated on this topic and he said that he answered arguments that taking part in occult practices such as card laying, glass moving etc. was often done from ignorance or only out of curiosity, and not believed in or taken seriously, with this short parable to illustrate what his experience had shown him:

"Whether it is out of ignorance or curiosity, whether as a joke or in all seriousness, when I release the catch of a hand grenade, the result is always the same!"

Absolutely dangerous, no Chrisitan should EVER be naive enough to mess, dabble or succumb to curiosity over these. Over the last few months I've seen the results of someone un-wittingly getting involved in these, and they are pretty terrifying. A genuine taste of demons wanting ownership of a person.
Those games are solely (under the guise of fun) designed to have people think that they might be able to connect with a dead loved one. The whole premise of the game is sternly warned against in scripture (as posted earlier). Avoid !!

But do the boards really work? Are you actually communicating with anyone?
These are a direct and deliberate connection with the spirit world.

My friends have had very real and detrimental experiences with these tools of Satan.

Don't let anyone tell you that they are a toy or "your imagination".

One friend, when she went to the house where they used it.. would get extreme acute headaches until they got the board out and she started using it. The headache would return if she left the board until the spirit that possessed it was satisfied and let her go without pain.

Also, the board would cease to work when my alcoholic friend came in the room, if he was drunk. Apparently, the spirit world does not like working with drunk minds. This one, for sure, like clear and cognitive humans to work through.

It was a very real, disturbing and scary event for all that were there.
