On Saturday, May 22, millions of MTG players around the globe will gather to play. As Satan rallies his forces, I think we should rally ours. Get together and play, discuss the Bible, and use Redemption to witness to your friends on that day.

Funnily enough my redemption got canceled on that day.

What I'd like to do is go down to the shop where they're playing Magic with some Redemption players with evangelistic giftings.

Can't do that here...no card shops. And btw that's a great way to get thrown out of there. Whatever you do don't go touting off doctrine and stuff like that great way to get thrown out.

"Touting off doctrine" is no way to evangelize. Play Redemption, don't push it on anyone, and pray like crazy.

Yeah, that's what we've been trying to do in South FL. There was 1 store that didn't allow us to play the game there, actually they didn't even want us to speak to the players or post anything, etc.

We've had success at 1 place which has let us post up posters and drop redemption bible tracts and such. But no so much witnessing & evangelizing there because a lot of them just make fun of the game. But don't lose hope brothers! Endure hardness like a good soldier!

The guy at our shop was really encouraging anyone to play "whatever" until "whenever". I'll be holding him to that. He's also approved Redemption, but doesn't know it's Bible yet.

Yeah, you should tell them that right away. When we tried out this different hobby shop we were asking if we could play redemption and post a poster up. He asked what was it while he was reading the poster. As my brother started explaining the guy most of read the rest of the poster and assumed then blurted out "what you want to clense my soul through this game? so we're all evil now because we don't play your game? look we have kids here of many different religions and backgrounds here and I don't want you trying to preach and clense their souls". Something along those lines. I remember he said it kind of loud and made a scene out of it because it got quiet in the back and they were looking at us.

So you may want to tell'em to save face and your witness. Because if they start to get into an arguement with you...it'll just ruin your witness to the rest of the people you're trying to evangelize.

Note I haven't played it there yet. He'll be the first I explain it to, boy does he need Jesus. (I'll be keeping that last bit to myself)

Mass states is that day so a big group will be gathering in the name of Christ!

MTG, or Redemption witnessing?

You'll find a lot of us here are cool with MTG.

As Satan rallies his forces,

... uhm I don't even no where to begin on this, (or if I should). But this is crazy. You talk about preaching the word yet you compare a MTG day to Satan rallying his troops...? Stop judging people. My best friend plays, plenty of people here play. It is a card game, nothing more. And yes, by comparing MTG players to Satan rallying his troops is indeed judging people.

couldnt have said it better myself. i play mtg sparingly, and i am in no way one of 'satans forces'. sorry to say so, but this thread is proof of how ignorant some christians can be.

I do believe somewhere today I read a topic about not posting about games that involve cursing, swearing, or magical themes as they will be deleted...

There are Magicians and Magical Charms in redemption.

Who cares, it's a fellow card game. No one is saying anything magical about it or anything.

Follow the order of this and ye shall see: Cactus Game Design Message Boards » Open Forum » Off-Topic » Video & Computer Games » games deleted

The Admins made the decision, not me so don't give me heat. I'm just giving advanced warning.

Mr.Hiatus · « **Reply #23 on:** May 19, 2010, 11:29:09 PM »

Thanks for the "warning". This is not a bad topic or anything.

From the topic I'm referencing, it sounds like the Admins don't want any type of promotion of those types of games. You can disagree with me all you want, but I didn't come up with the decision and I was just being courteous.
