1 Corinthians 10:19-21

19Do I mean then that a sacrifice offered to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord's table and the table of demons.

LOL Wicca is little more than your grandparents generations version of scientology.

I have to disagree with Tony on the point of D&D leading to violence. It is nothing more then a game, one based upon the imaginations of the players (rather then a company/producer). If someone is playing violently or being violent then it was not the game that made them so it was them that made the game so.

[19PHS74]

I agree with Tony for once.

Obviously there is a serious lack of knowledge about Wicca, because the link of Wicca to soothsayers and a games is so far from the truth. People should learn to seriously investigate something before they state an opinion on it.

[ZeroMagnumX]

Really great insight, just a few things though. ANYTHING can become in place of God. Any game, any item, any object. Dungeons and Dragons is included with those items, however, it is only a game unless taken too far. I've seen this happen with video games or cell phones etc, that turn people, yet they're not deemed as evil. D&D is actually based around Lord of the Rings, which is an Ala gory for how we carry our sin and how we must rid ourselves of it. So ironically D&D has Christian roots.

[ZeroMagnumX]

Very good, but keep in mind that games are just games unless they are replaced as a god in one's life playing D&D Won't condemn you to hell or any such things, however becoming obsessed with it and not just playing it for a game is what will, this however can apply to anything in life, something such as hair gel as silly as it sounds it can overtake someones life if they let it. Dungeons and Dragons was actually inspired on the background of Lord of the Rings which is a large Christian Ala gory

We should all be so blessed with a good friend to whom you can confess your sins and not have that friend betray you. Who, besides Jesus, can you trust with your most intimate thoughts?

[tchapman1977]

Confessing sins to one another is cathartic and does help to unburden one another here on Earth, but it is important to stress that only by confessing your sins to directly to & with Jesus can you receive the salvation of the blood of Jesus wiping the ledger of sin clean by God. Confessing sins to mortal man -- while psychologically beneficial -- does not grant salvation. Only Jesus can grant that. Praise be to Jesus. May He continue to shower His blessings upon you & grant you peace. Amen.
