    Is Minecraft Evil or Spiritual Dangerous? Can Christians Play Minecraft?

    Going by a trailer video on Steam, I'd say that Mother Russia Bleeds is indeed a very bad game. He's better off playing GTA, even. As GBTWC said, I too feel a strange vibe from it, which I interpret as a bad vibe in a spiritual way. Little warning to any reader: I'm talking explicitly about...

    Is Minecraft Evil or Spiritual Dangerous? Can Christians Play Minecraft?

    Thanks for your reply. ^^ I'm not sure how you got to the topic of "that lifestyle", but I partially agree with you. The things I said about the book series were the things that people here generally abhor, not something I personally abhor. I can even tolerate and appreciate swearing in some...

    Is Minecraft Evil or Spiritual Dangerous? Can Christians Play Minecraft?

    I found the comment of the person who worked on the game quite valuable! Anyway, here's my two cents. I've been struggling for quite a long time with what is and what isn't demonic. I think I've been possessed when I was young, but I don't know if it was because of fictional works. My sister...

    In a dream an evil spirit tries to pull me down literally.

    I always heard that it's vital to say you send the demons away in Jesus Christ's name - like, actually say that name. But maybe just the 'hosts of heaven' does the same, idk. But man, I really agree with you! This is indeed the way to go!

    What fiction and music should we avoid - if any - considering spiritual war?

    Off-topic: because your lines end mid-sentence and continue on the next line, I keep on reading your posts like it's poetry. Is that your intention?:p But umm, my problem is that I probably *could* comfortably watch any TV-show and read any book if I completely don't think about spiritual war...

    What fiction and music should we avoid - if any - considering spiritual war?

    Look, I can say that Bush did 9/11, but you won't believe me, because there needs to be some kind of argumentation behind it. All I've seen so far is people saying "things are THIS way" without actually explaining why they think that. @SkyWriting did a fine job of explaining a bit more, but...

    how are we being seen?

    There actually is, though. It has been adopted by the heavy metal scene as being an anti-Christian or anti-authoritarian symbol, depending on the context. Punk rock uses it sometimes too, in the same way. So that's why I was confused to see it on a CD cover from a band that, though heavy, is not...

    What fiction and music should we avoid - if any - considering spiritual war?

    If we're talking from a purely psychological point of view, I don't think we should be selective. Everything you read or watch or hear has an effect on you, yes. But it's made by people, and I think it's important to hear what people have to say - even if you don't agree with them - to develop a...

    Traditional Marriage

    Yeah I understand that gay people want to get married for the law too - I mean, I'm one of them - but what I meant was that, psychologically, religiously, spiritually - whatever you wanna call it, it doesn't matter whether the marriage is legally recognized because the actual marriage is about...

    What fiction and music should we avoid - if any - considering spiritual war?

    I can't believe that. It sounds like an unfounded conspiracy theory to me, that people put symbols in the work and cast spells on it, on purpose.

    Traditional Marriage

    Though I agree with your first point, I find it hard to see what your second point adds to this discussion. We believe that God can speak through people. There's no proof, it's a matter of faith. We're aware. Your point is just stating the obvious.

    Traditional Marriage

    What I find a bit weird about the whole discussion here is the value people attach to the legal aspect of it all. I mean, if I wanted to marry a guy but it wouldn't be legal for me to do so in my country, I would still marry him, but then without the legal implications. To me, marriage is not...

    Not so clean books you would recommend.

    It's fun to read these replies! I added John Dies At The End to my to-read list - it seems like a fun book. My recommendation will have to be my favorite book series ever: No. 6 by Asano Atsuko. (It doesn't currently have an official English translation, but you can google "No. 6 English...

    What fiction and music should we avoid - if any - considering spiritual war?

    Hey everyone. I'm not sure I posted this in the right forum category, so if I made a mistake, please move the thread. I'm wondering: what fiction (books, TV-shows, etc.) and music should we avoid? How do we recognize the bad stuff? I always believed that demons can somehow attach themselves...

    how are we being seen?

    Ah, I heard that history lesson from a friend of mine, too. He said the symbol was often used by Catholics. Unbelievable how a symbol can go from being perceived as Catholic, to being perceived as anti-Christian/anti-religious. And yeah I can understand why you'd think it's not a friendly...

    how are we being seen?

    It could be that it she passed away very recently. Though maybe the OP is straight up lying. Either way, strangely enough I don't care, seeing as it doesn't invalidate their point. Though all this talk of symbols reminds me of something. Last year, I ordered a CD of my favorite (Japanese)...

    Hey, I'm new

    Thanks for the welcome messages, people! :) I don't think I will make a thread about any of my (controversial) views, as these forums seem to want to keep discussion of them to a minimum, allowing controversial topics only to be spoken about in a specific subforum, and even then the rules...

    Favorite Animes

    Anything by Studio Ghibli is indeed very good! I went to see La Tortue rouge yesterday, which Ghibli made in collaboration with a French studio, and that one was great too. c: Anyway, my personal favorites are Rurouni Kenshin, but especially PSYCHO-PASS. I just love the philosophical aspect of...

    Hey, I'm new

    Hi everyone! I'm Maurits - 17 years old, from the Netherlands. I currently identify as a Christian, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find a church in which I fit, because the things I believe are rather controversial (for example, I think homosexuality and being transgender is okay, the...
