To catch them is my real test,
To train them is my caaauuuuuussse....

I remember PETA bitching a lot about Pokemon, but not much else. I was a kid anyways. Nobody paged me about this schit.

[CalmWind]

Your guess is as good as mine. Its really getting embarrassing at this point.

I'm a devout Christian.


I haven't paid attention or cared about any "end times" signs. I don't know anything about this solar eclipse you guys are posting about, and I don't care either. I follow the Bible when it says that only God knows the time of the end. We should worry about living our lives in fellowship with God, because once we do that, we don't have to care when the end comes, whenever it is, whether it be tomorrow or 300 years from now.


There are many Christians like me, who don't cry wolf and do the things you posted.


So, you have :

1) me, someone who just obeys God and follows God's teachings and doesn't cry wolf

or

2) random people who start claiming end time signs for different things



Who do you choose to focus on?

ofc you will focus on #2 and run with it, because it reinforces "lol believers r stoopid"

I believe in God, Satan, evil and demonic possession...but why a Demon chilling at Church though? Did the demon not thing they would be talking about Jesus's return?

demons don't have bodies. they seek humans to attach themselves to. they live among us but in a different dimension (as believers we call it the "spiritual world")... they need you to open spiritual doors, so they can attach.


sometimes, the demons attached to a person, can influence their behavior without the host knowing. Suddenly feeling angry, or some bad idea pops into your head at the precise time when you are weak and vulnerable...


other times.... if the person is in really deep and lost.... the demons can choose to manifest and do things. including taking control of the person and screaming and lashing out.


the final stage is complete demonic possession, but this is really rare.

The person with a demon normally does what he wants to because the demon hides and doesn't want the host to know they are there. Normally, they put sinful thoughts in your head and compel you do do them, but then when someone with a demon hears about Jesus and judgment and that the righteous will be saved, they come to the surface. I think that's what we witnessed here. The demon possessed probably had no idea they had a demon hiding.

Perhaps the most threatening of the psychic Pokemon are Abra, Kadabra, and Alakazam. These names should sound familiar - they are classic incantations uttered by those who participate in witchcraft. Images of Kadabra even feature several symbols associated with the occult, like a pentagram printed on its forehead and the unholy triple S motif on its stomach. In some media, Kadabra even appears with its three fingers raised in a Satanic salute. The Eastern mysticism of the Japanese has caused them to incorporate Satanic symbols into children's characters in an attempt to pollute their minds. What's more, these three sinister Pokemon "evolve" into one-another by spontaneously changing physical forms. This "evolution" is clearly shape-shifting, another trait commonly associated with witchcraft.

I was going to ask that question but didn't think it was worth asking. I thought demons couldn't even enter churches.

You would know if you read the Bible (Luke 4:33).

[CalmWind]

no, demonic possession is a real thing, completely separate from mental illness.

if a person is mentally ill, we don't consider that demonic possession.


for example, when the catholic church sends an exorcist, they first must rule out every possibility, including mental illness. they need confirmation that it's a demon.





however, if a person starts randomly telling you your worst secrets that they could never possibly know, and start speaking in ancient 2,000 year old languages that the person had no history of knowing.... or things in the room start moving, then it's demonic possession.

this is the problem, too many people think they know things.

yes, demons can enter churches. they're just buildings where believers go to worship.


What demons CANNOT enter, is temples of God, aka believers.

sorry for not knowing nuanced details, I got my information from Castlevania, lol. I've read the bible, but I've read it just like any other novel like Lord of the Rings or The Chronicles of Narnia. Its no different than accidentally calling Sauron, Saruman.

listen, I'm not trying to convert you. That's not how this works.

Every Christian was called by God. He knocked on our doors, until we finally answered. But we had to make that choice.


So, I'm not trying to convince you. All I'm doing is answering and sharing. Sometimes God will try to reach you through anything including forum posts on a dying gay indian bodybuilding forum.

It's up to you to answer the door or ignore His knocking. Up to you.



Last thing I will say, is God is very real. I promise.

I don't think they're stupid. I feel sorry for them because they're clinging to a hope that there's more to this life than what we're currently experiencing. I'd never question anyones faith because its all some people have. As long as it makes them happy and they're not harming anyone, they should be able to practice whatever religious faith helps them get out of bed in the morning.

But you gotta admit "#2" are the most vocal about their faith. They're everywhere.

The Bible says therefore 'knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men' (2 Cor 15:11).

When we see the enemy coming and warn the people, then the people die of their own sins but the one who warned them will not be judged.

When we see the enemy coming and do not warn the people, then the people die of their own sins but we are held responsible (Eze 33:3-9). That's why Paul said '“Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent.' (Acts 18:6).

CalmWind is correct, our job is just to tell the truth. It likens it to planting and watering. We plant and water, but God provides the increase.

It all starts with fear of the Lord. If you don't have that, then you have no wisdom.

[RICHSTRONG]

but a 20-something year old is not going to take 2 hours out of their sunday to "hope" that happens. They can get more enjoyment out of doom-scrolling fight videos on instagram.

That's why you scroll thru that WHILE you're in the church. Maximize your time.

hm, that could work.

After leaving the Jehovah's Witness church my parents went to, I would go to a Baptist church with my grandparents from time to time. It was the kind of church where the pastor would call you out in front of the entire congregation if you were on your phone or starting to doze off.
