Dear One

Many believers become entrenched in the sin of the world when they begin to compromise their beliefs. When are to be holy as JESUS is holy. Regardless of how harmless something seems on the surface it results in the same thing death and destruction.

When you play with fire you will get burnt.

In HIS Service

The use of Tarot Cards, regardless of the images painted on them, is a means of fortune-telling, divination, and is part of the occult, and an abomination before God.

Acts 16:
16: And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
17: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
18: And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour .

Paul cast out a demon of divination from the damsel, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

Occult involvement opens the door for demonic influence and possession. The best thing you can do is to repent of all occult involvement, and invite Jesus into your heart, and burn all occult paraphernalia. Satan has great power and influence, and he operates in psychics, tarot, ouiji boards, fortune telling, astrology, etc.

I have a question. Does anywhere in the Bible say that it's wrong to do Tarot cards? I know of these one Tarot cards that speak of no evil it's about angels and God, I think it's call Universal Tarot. Anyhow, Does the Bible say it's wrong? [Bible]

'Cause on other message boards some people will say it's ok or it's not ok by there own opinion I just want to know God's opinion from the Bible [Bible]

Thanks

Melissa
