I'm sorry but this is simply not true, I am a huge anime fan I love to watch anime but none of them have effected me in the ways you speak of in fact sometimes these anime shows make me feel closer to God. God can and will use anything to reach our hearts and to think he would use something I enjoy to speak to my heart just goes to show how amazing he is and how wants to be a part of our lives even if we are watching a show.

Even though I love anime it never can come close to God himself, anything can become a God to us anything we hold higher than God himself is our God

Arent you the one who claims to have visited hell? I rest my case!
Now the picture is clearer to me.

The only recorded visit to heaven was lazarus. He didnt come back.
I pray that God brings you to the knowledge of his word

Strawberry these verses refer to those people who are UNSAVED, and refuse to repent of their sins. Saved people DO repent their sins, and they are NOT blotted out in the book. When you are saved, you CANNOT have your name blotted out of the book of life..
Amen. God is the author of our faith. He will not let anyone or anything take us from his hand.

Faith cannot be lost either. It CAN be misplaced, but never lost. You are sooo wrong about the Book of Life. Once Jesus has inscribed your name in it, it's there forever. :) He doesn't write it in and scribble it out time and again. That's silly. Yes, he does know who will be saved or lost. Those who believe and profess he is Lord and Savior are saved. Their names are in the book of life. Those who will be lost, are the ones who deny and reject Jesus as their savior. Faith and salvation cannot be lost EVER. It baffles me why you don't understand that. God does NOT blot out our names just because we aren't living right.. You don't LIVE salvation, you HAVE salvation. It can't ever be lost, taken or revoked..
We are justified and continually sanctified. We are secure in Christ. But we do live our faith. There should be change in our lives sooner or later. There will be change because the Holy Spirit is renewing our minds through the word.

I watch sports.. In fact I love fall because that's when Sundays can become football days. Do I idolize it? Absolutely not. Teams have cheerleaders. Can they cause men to stumble? If you're looking at them rather than the game itself, then yes. So does that mean there should be no more football, or sports in general, because one can get too passionate about it and allow it to stumble them? Same reasoning you just used for anime.
She connected what was happening in her life as a result of opening a door. You cannot say what is good for you is good for her. There is an evil spirit behind anime and pokeman. The symbolism is subtle but then it takes discernment. We dont havve that gift when we cling to things of the world. Discernment increases as we mature in our faith.
Im not a fan of football btw. I dont get involved with a massive money making worldly time wasters. Football players making loads of cash to get beat up bodies and run around a field making fools of themselves. I think people like you only help the worlds cause. Did you know while you enjoy the super bowl that prostitution rings are marketing young girls throughout the stadium? No joke. It happens every year.

Watching a tv show CANNOT make you lose your salvation. Once your saved, that's it, it's a done deal. :) As for anime, if you feel it's taking over your life, quit watching it. Something only becomes evil, or an idol, if you let it consume you.
You are right that she cant lose her salvation. But I disagree that something is only evil according to our actions. That is not a true statement.

What more evidence do you even need??? If you haven't notice majority of the people in this world are only living for their flesh only. They are surely not giving God glory at all in their daily life. After all God already known who are the people going to get save or lost on earth.
You are convinced in your mind and that is all that counts. Praise God that he has brought you out of that worldly entertainment.
BUT, if you are truly in Christ, you cannot ever lose your salvation honey. We are saved by grace through faith. It is a free gift. You cannot pay for a free gift. Just focus on Christ and develop a relationship with Jesus and read your Bible to renew your mind. Jesus has said he will never let you go if you are his. You are secure. Praise the Lord!

Oh, good grief! There are shows to watch out for, but Pokemon isn't one of them (unless it's the spirit of commercialism - LOL).
You speak from where you are. Pray that God opens your eyes to this.

I apologise. I thought you were a notorious CC troll called Jack. He comes here under many different usernames, as both male and female, with many different flags to his name and pretends to be a new member every single time. And he's known for posting inane things.
Let this be a lesson to you. Im glad you apologized.

I'm so sorry about the salvation part with my inaccurate answer which I now regret. I though as Christian we don't received salvation because of our sin. But I guess I was wrong.

Strawberry, if you confess that Jesus is your Lord and Savior, and that he died for your sins, then you are saved. You cannot ever lose that salvation, even when you sin. When we sin, we repent and ask forgiveness, and God remembers our sin no longer. God knows our hearts, and our minds. He knows if we're truly repentant or not.

We must quote exactly what scripture says and not leave anything out. Just sayin sis:eek:

Romans 10:9
that if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

I add that Jesus was fully man fully God. (since the deception in this day and age say he isnt ie John 8:24).

For the record I visited hell for a specific reason but it wasn't because I was not saved or unsaved

ugh...

someone who by their own admission suffers from hallucinations shows up making obviously unhinged statements like 'hello kitty is satanic'...

and half of the responses are stuff like...'praise God for saving you from the demonic grip of pikachu!'

God doesn't 'save' people into paranoia...enough is enough people...is discernment even a thing any more?

Wow, are you suggesting your completely unloving and condescending tone is going to help anything? Like at all ever? I've seen enough of your post to think that you feel that these outside worldly influences can never have any kind of effect on us, or am I jumping to a wrong conclusion? I guess we aren't really wrestling against "powers and principalities in heavenly places" right? The spiritual realm can have no effect on us right? It matters not what we choose to let in is what you're suggesting isn't it? We can watch, listen to, and consume all the dark type stuff the world offers us, and it can never have any effect huh? I think that is a VERY naïve view personally, and feel what we feed our minds has a HUGE influence on us. Do you just reject the reality of demonic forces at work in the world as a whole? I honestly think anyone that has felt the regenerative power of God in their lives would understand all this "spirit stuff" is VERY real. The good and the bad. Regardless of what you think of that stuff though, why not just "dust off your shoes" before even leaving such insulting comments? Just to feed your own ego and pride? A bit juvenile from where I'm sitting, but to each their own I guess. I hope YOU have a good night.

LOL that's funny. Jack is a regular troll that comes back under different names a lot here. Tintin has Jack on the brain so bad that every time he disagrees with someone they are "jack" now it seems. Really tintin Jack has infected your mind to the point of delusion and paranoia homie. You should try to relax on calling everyone you disagree with Jack.

"LOL" one more time for the "your mother is a Jack" comment. That was hilarious.
There are plenty of people I don't disagree with here that I don't call Jack. But I do tend to call many of the suspicious 'new' members who act weirdly 'Jack'. That said, I'm not delusional. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, though. I'll try to save Jack for those special occasions.

I know a heck of a lot more about Pokemon than you do. And Blain knows much more than I. It may be a stumbling block for some people, but not for all. And it's certainly not part of a satanic plot. I suppose you think every American thing is blessed by God?

Hello Kitty related a girl who has cancer in her mouth. Doctor say that the girl isn't able to get cure. So the mother went to many different type of church to pray for her daughter even though it didn't work. The mother became so desperate to cure her child she decided to be involved with satanic ritual and devil worshipped. The mother made impact with the devil in order to cure daughter. Which allowed her daughter to be heal instantly by the devil. The devil however ask the mother one things in return which was to created a popular cartoon characters all over world that appeal to children in order to tricking people in worshipping Satan.
No. This is rather silly. Where's the proof, please?

my rebuke isn't even really directed at the person who started this thread...she doesn't have to watch superbook if she doesn't want to...

no my rebuke is directed at the people here who should know better...the ones who purport to have wisdom in spiritual things and then when a person shows up who has hallucinations and claims hello kitty is the work of the devil they act like not the slightest thing is amiss...

the only post in this thread that will ever really -help- this person was the second post in this thread...made by ugly... personally i would have added a suggestion to seek counseling...

do you really think -you- are helping anything by insinuating that 'hello kitty is satanic' has serious scriptural backing?

and regarding that...your misrepresentation of my view on spiritual warfare is just more of the typical slanderous hyperbole that i get whenever i suggest that demonic forces are not responsible for things like poorly drawn japanese cartoons...and it is -that- type of non substantive reply that i find 'a bit juvenile'

so yes i will have a good night and i will sleep well knowing that pikachu is not going to kill me in my sleep...

Wow, mindblown. I learned two things here (and I admit I could really just shut up and leave the thread silently, forgive me for getting carried away):

Every argument starts with osas vs anti-osas.
Every argument ends with personal attacks.

Scratch that, 3 things actually. Lastly, only the devil gets all the benefit.
