Magic isn't evil of course it's allowed in some rpgs; usually fantasy medieval. A lot of people like to have different types of rpgs.

Demonic content? What do you mean by that?

What he said.

We don't write passages to invoke demons, or anything of the sort. Writing about demons and demon-related things is the writer's choice. However, some positions on the topic may offend people.

Well i hate to rain on the party but if you guys allowing magic or any kind of demonic content i am not going to play here, i belive 100% that all this shoulded be played or viewed in any content. The Bible does say in black and white to stay clear of all kinds of magic witchcraft and demonic crap. I am not being 1 sided here just puting my view in so see ya round guys and good luck here.

Good grief Loopy... I'm not even going to say anything.

Good grief Loopy... I'm not even going to say anything.

I laughed so hard when I read this! I quote this for truth.

 

[K9Guardian]

Well, it would seem amusing. It's as if people like that do see truth, but in a distorted sort of way, like looking at an object underwater. Leastways, that's how it appears.

There is truth in what he says. The point is that magic is forbidden in the Bible. The problem with this is that the Bible is written to the sons of Adam (Passages can be given to support this on request). That means it has no rule over any that are not of the race of Adam. In many fantasy worlds, there are creatures that are not descent from Adam, and even humans of those worlds may not be of Adam's race. Thus, the laws of the Bible cannot be strictly carried thence.
Not, I'm not going to get into the immutable nature of God and those immutable laws that stem from it, but it can be theorized that God could create different laws into different natures(different worlds, if you will). One of these laws could be a magical system. In that sense, I am not opposed to magic. However, I would agree that no son of Adam could use magic without being a heinous villain.
As far as demonic content, realize that not every story is comprised of good guys. Some people play the villains and some are of demonic influence. Now, as MD says, most of us choose not to get into technicalities for sake of, well, I personally, for the sake of honoring God. All things must be done to His glory, including villainy (I still love how awkward that sounds.) But realize that just as most stories have heroes, most stories have villains, and these may or may not be in league with demons. In that sense, yes, we do allow demonic content.
Now, on the flip side, I would say that never could a character in league with demons be anything but a villain of awful qualities.

So, I hope that flushes out the answer and give you some things to think about. Still, the Bible says that if you cannot do something in good conscience, then you would be sinning to do it anyway. So, if the Holy Spirit prompts you not to do so, I understand and respect that. Realize, though, that not everyone holds the same view on fiction as you do and respect the leading of the Holy Spirit in their hearts as well.

Did you guys know some passages in the bible are mistranslated? There's even a couple of books in the bible missing... several people have studied the bible and all of that and found this out.

 

[Shadowseldil]

I refuse to believe that. Firstly, I am something of a scholar(albeit a poor one) of the Bible and its language. Secondly, God says that He values His word above even His own name. Taking God's name in vain carried the death sentence. If He values His name that much, and His word moreso, I find it quite improbable that God would allow His word to be "lost" or even mistranslated without an accurate translation available. Thirdly, God gives countless promises that His word shall not pass away.

However, this is not the place to discuss such things. I merely felt that such a comment should not go without rebuttal. If you wish to talk more about it, you may PM me or start another thread in the appropriate place. I would be more than happy to share what little knowledge God has given me.

 

[K9Guardian]

Shadow, i see some points i would be willing to debate ffrom your second post. i won't speak up unless you want to engage, though, because 1) i don't think you're wrong per se, and 2) I'd choose silence over any heated discussion about truth, so if you feel uncomfortable with that policy, better we not. It's an offer.

 

[Shadowseldil]

I already have extended such offers in the past on the condition that they remain discussions. Call it semantics if you wish, but God's word commands that I love all men as Jesus loves them. As such, I don't want to get into any heated debates or arguments. However, if you can calmly discuss the matters with me with respect and compassion, I welcome the discussion.
Though, do it by PMs or else the thread I had designated for our discussion (Here's the link:A Talk About Truth). As I said, this really is not the place for it.
