These belief systems are not compatible with Christianity. Pokemon is the result of influences that are completely mystical and that embrace warrior religions. In the books you will find animal sacrifices, threats of human sacrifices, witchcraft, wizardry and divination as well as other evil things.įor more information about the Harry Potter books: Potter Books: Wicked or Witchcraft?Ģ.) The game was created in Japan and the concepts of the game and trading cards reflect the principles of Eastern Religions and the philosophies that influenced them. These books deal with the occult in a fantasy way. The Harry Potter books have become a best selling series that chronicle the tales of an orphaned boy at a school for wizards. These books are just as dangerous as the Pokemon games. One of the most evil book series that children are reading at this hour are the Harry Potter books. This is not the only game that does this as there are other games and books that trivialize or glamorize the occult as well. This game makes some of its monsters out as friendly thus causing children to embrace certain evil spirits as friends instead of resisting them. When I was a little girl, the “boogie man” or monsters caused us fear and we did not want to be around them. When I was growing up, we were taught monsters were evil, not something to play with. Pokemon players are beginning to produce fruit that isn’t good so we need to examine the tree and the root.ġ.) First of all, its name describes what this game is about. In the same way it is difficult to discern the true nature of anything until we can see the fruit. Since they had not had any fruit for a number of years I did not know what kind they were until I saw the small fuzzy fruit on one of them and the shiny plums on another. Just yesterday I was looking at all the trees and the small fruit that was on them and was surprised to find a tree that I thought was a plum all along that turned out to be a peach tree. However, the plums, peaches and apricots usually don’t make it before the freeze gets them. Usually our apples, pears and grapes bloom out late so we always have those fruits. We have a small orchard and this year we are going to have a “bumper crop” from all of our fruit trees, as the frost didn’t freeze the blossoms in early Spring. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. The Bible tells us that we can recognize the tree by the fruit that it bears Matthew 7:17-20: “Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. The question is, what is the right way and how do we know if something is right for our children or even us personally? In the case of Pokemon let us look at the “roots and fruits” of this game. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. As parents, the Bible admonishes us to train our children in the right way. Even as the “little foxes” can spoil the entire grape vine, the games and toys our children embrace can be destructive for them. Some might argue that this is a small thing and as long as children are entertained it shouldn’t matter what they are playing with. Children and parents alike may not realize the importance of choosing their games and toys with God’s guidance. What is behind the fascination with the Pokemon phenomenon? Even though this fad is highly popular among the children today, some may not be really aware of what this game is all about.
