Is it wrong for Christians to watch anime or cartoons with magic powers?

Some Christians online have wondered if it is wrong to see cartoons with magic powers or anime cartoons that demonstrate magic powers or supernatural powers. 

The authority or foundation of all that is true and right is the Bible, God's holy Word, that He gave to man by inspiration of God's Spirit.

The Bible has the solid structure for all that we know to be right. It is the foundation on which a Christian should build his or her life (Matthew 7:24-27). It is our instruction book and source of understanding what is right and what is wrong. Psalm 138:2 says, in part, that God "... hast magnified thy word above all thy name." Psalm 12:7 says of God's words: "Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever." God preserves His Word, the Bible, forever.

So, is it wrong for a Christian to see supernatural powers demonstrated in cartoons (or other forms of entertainment, such as comic books, movies, video games, etc.)? 

2 Corinthians 6:14 says: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 6 that Christians are to not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. This is another way of saying that we must not be in agreement with the ways of the world. A yoke of oxen (two oxen) plowed a field together in ancient times. They were in agreement, in other words. Communion, fellowship, closeness, intimacy, working together, or playing with the world's ways is not the lifestyle that God has for His people.  

2 Corinthians 6:14-17

"14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you."

(A demonic character from the Ben 10 cartoon.)

God is saying in verse 16 that we, who are temples of God's Holy Spirit, must not have idols. We must forsake idols and the ways of the world. God desires to have intimate, close fellowship with us, His children (1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 John 1:5-7, Jeremiah 31:3).

The Illuminati, Nimrod, and Satan’s Agenda (Illuminati Symbols, Baal, Tower of Babel, All-Seeing-Eye, NRO Mission Patches, Subliminal)

The Illuminati, Nimrod, and Satan’s Agenda

The Illuminati is something you hear about quite often now. Hip hop artists, actors, and celebrities mention or allude to them. Before the internet, only a few fringe researchers made people aware of the Illuminati. Because of information technology, such as the internet, it has come into common knowledge.

So much is said about the Illuminati that it would take you months or years to learn it. In this article we will look at some of the symbols, icons, and associations that the Illuminati hid in broad daylight. Then, we will take a look at who really is behind the Illuminati and what his agenda is.

If you have ever read about the Illuminati, you will be familiar with the symbolism on the back of the dollar bill. The all-seeing-eye of Horus or Baal is staring at you from his platform atom the unfinished pyramid. If you want to learn more about the Illuminati connections to the dollar, check out the video titled Eye of the Phoenix - Secrets of the Dollar Bill (2009). (Note: I am not selling this video and have no connections to it.).

This all-seeing-eye can be found in the strangest of places. You can see it in the logos of financial institutions, in the logos of corporations, on TV shows, in movies, in video games, and in government offices and departments.

One could say it is all a coincidence, but is it really? Perhaps, these organizations and government offices do not understand the symbolism of the all-seeing-eye and what it stands for. Or, are people at the top fully aware of what these symbols stand for while their employees do not?

The website for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO):

 “When the United States needs eyes and ears in critical places where no human can reach – be it over the most rugged terrain or through the most hostile territory – it turns to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). The NRO is the U.S. Government agency in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellites”( “About the NRO.”).

But, their official mission patches, which are used to designate each mission launched, show a more sinister side.

There are quite a few mission patches that belong to various government mission projects with eerie symbols and depictions. Strangely, many of them have dragons clutching the earth, snakes wrapped around the earth, all-seeing-eyes, phoenix birds, wizards, and sinister phantoms, and demons prominently displayed. (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12 for what God has to say about sorcery and witchcraft.).

Very little is known of the actual details of these missions, but these patches show that the people behind these missions have a sinister agenda. Pan, a pagan god, appears as an acronym, PAN (Palladium at Night), on one of the launch patches. Pan was worshipped by pagans in ancient Caesarea Philippi, Israel. In order to have Pan return each year, these rebellious people practiced prostitution, and many other wicked acts (“City of Pagans”).

The black bird is a phoenix rising out of the flames. This is an Illuminati / Masonic symbol. Manly P. Hall, a former mason, wrote about the phoenix in a book about the masons.	Three snakes are wrapped around the earth.  “Nunquam Ante Numquam Iterum” is Latin  for “Never before, never again.” (“Top 10”).
Rocket Launch. Notice the all-seeing-eye?

Pan is the Greek god of fertility and nature. He has the legs of a goat and the body of a man. Pan can be linked to the Phoenician sun god Baal, who is also a god of fertility and nature (“Bible verses about Baal”). Baal can be traced back to Nimrod, who is mentioned in the Bible (“Bible verses about Baal”).

The head above the wing symbol is none other

 than...you guessed it…”E.T.” 

"Oderint Dum Metuant" means

 “Let them hate so long as they fear.” It was associated with

 Caligula, a Roman emperor known for

 his depravity and despotism ("Top 10").

 

Nimrod
Who was Nimrod? According to the Bible in Genesis 10, Nimrod is a “mighty hunter before the LORD.” (Genesis 10:9).  The Bible is not saying Nimrod served God but just that in God’s sight, he was mighty, or very powerful and strong man. Nimrod built the city of Babel, where the tower of Babel was erected (Genesis 10:10). Being the leader of the city, he would have been overseeing the construction of the tower, a symbol of man’s rebellion against God, his Creator.


Nimrod, the great hunter who founded the city of Babel (which later became Babylon), was a wicked man. According to tradition, Nimrod is said to have married his mother and she and he were turned into a deities. He was killed for his rebellion to God and for his great wickedness. When he died, his mother/wife said that their son was a reincarnation of Nimrod and required people to worship her and her baby. Interestingly, most ancient and even many modern pagan religions can be traced back to Nimrod (Veith).
