Why do people think Tarot Cards are part of the Devil?

Just out of curiousity. There is nothing evil about them in my opinion. I think that they are fun. I read them, and I am just good at reading people and they are general. I mean, a regular deck of playing cards comes from tarot cards. Do you consider them bad as well?

Why do people think Tarot Cards are part of the Devil?
Morons, er, I mean, Christians, consider them evil because they believe that anything that is not of God is of the Devil, and they believe that tarot cards hold some magical power or some mumbo jumbo like that, and fail to see that tarot cards are just a form of assisted cold reading.
Reply:i totally agree with what you said... they should keep their egos to themselves... come on... isnt respect what they teach in christianity? respect others for who they are and accept the fact that tarots are not evil... -_-" Report Abuse

Reply:because the christians fear what is unknown and becuase there is a devil card in tarot they think that you contact spirits through them which is complete bs. the answers are int he cards and our soul and it is bs about all the fear of them. people fear what is unfamiliar to them.
Reply:Hey Marlee,


No, I don't think that cartomancy is bad. There is an average of 90% of the the human brain that we do not usually access (the subconscious), and I feel that these methods to look "beyond" are really removing the filters of our normal consciousness, so that we can learn more about our Self/Soul. Those that find these to be evil seem to be afraid of the unknown, and unwilling to leave a well-worn path of dogma and certainty. I read palms, cards and runes, and have been hired as entertainment for many types of events (wedding receptions, barmitzvahs, prom lock-ins, birthdays, etc.) and many persons are less hesitant to "see what it is like" in such an environment, and I have heard over and over, "How did you know this?" But in the end, their fears are shown to be unfounded, and a new understanding and openness to mystery is gained. I could lecture for hours on the subject and my experiences and studies...
Reply:no i do not...depends on where u get ur energy??
Reply:Tarot card were invented in Europe as ordinary playing cards, so if you just would play poker I wouldn't think it was anything to fret about.


What for Christians is problematic is that it is our faith that only God has full knowledge of the future, and sometimes you and I can make highly probable predictions as can also the demons (and angels) but more accurately than any human since they are much more intelligent.


So trying to read the future is seen as asking the evil spirits about it. therefore it's bad and a sin against the 1st commandment. the christian way is to pray.





Take care.
Reply:It's said in the bible, that you shouldn't try to know the future... it's a sin to ask to a fortune teller or try some other way... so if it's forbidden in the bible it's because the information isn't given by God, and who else can know about the future and offer the chance of commit a sin??? of course, Devil.





So, I think this is the explanation...
Reply:people use tarot cards to tell future happenings, playing cards are for game playing. there is a difference. and people are not to know of the future. its not natural, believe what you want.
Reply:anyhting which claims to predict the future is on devil's side. It can be true but must NOT be trusted
Reply:There is nothing in the scriptures that would allow use of tarrot cards





There are however many places warning about diviining, or use of special omens outside of the council of God





case in point... once there was a guy who was looking for treasure using divining stones which the Bible forbids... next thing he is sucked into some vision of tablets from a spirit posing as an angel.. and the mormon church is born... but since he was using a means forbidden by the Bible one should have a heathy skeptiism one might be misled by spirits
Reply:There ignorant they don't know anything beyond what there "man of god" told them.
Reply:they are considered tools of the devil...we are not supposed to know the future. I think regular playing cards probably can be used the wrong way, but, for playing cards, just for fun..like, rummy 500 etc. is okay...but to use them for gambling purposes i dont think they are of God used this way.
Reply:I use tarot so obviouslyi dont consider then to be evil.





Tarot cards are considered to be un-Christian, evil, sac-religious as are Ouija boards. Many believe that having a séance opens one's self to allowing evil to enter their life. Many believe that partaking in these rituals will result in possession, evil overtaking your life, and a counter-balance to God.
Reply:The bible warns against such things,when you use such things you are getting in contact with demons. King Saul lost his battle because he went to a witch to find out from the spirit world if he would win! Tha bible warns against such things. God wants you to put your trust in him to answer your prayers.
Reply:The devil? I do not know of that but we are warned against seeking divination. We are to live each day as it comes. This moment, now.
Reply:I think that's just ignorant. The same people who think that Tarot cards are of the devil also think that hypnosis is of the devil, which is ignorant also. Hypnosis is ALL self-hypnosis and every person on the planet finds him or herself in a state of hypnosis at least once or twice a day.
Reply:hi im brian (mournyngwolf) and i am a certified tarot master with the canadian tarot network. i have been reading tarot for about 17 years now. and i love them too. what i tell people about future readings is that we have infinite choice to make now tarot only provides clues to the patterns in choices we make now. if you dont like a future the tarot has brought to you, you can choose now to change it by changing the pattern of your life a bit. but mostly i stick to a spread that i designed based on the 12 houses of astrology that incorperates a persons left and right half of the brain. its a wonderful spread that like the birth chart it copies does well to discuss a persons personality not the future. as to the connection to the devil, well because of qabalah (or kabbalah as most know it now) tarot are a key to the most powerful human programming system ever concieved and when a person opens that power they see that these religions are bogus. so to protect their religions they tell everyone they will go to hell for even looking at them. thats why the fear of the devil is associated. the age old boogeyman (satan) is gonna get you! well its nice some of us grow up past this fear and learn for ourselves! blessed be and i hope i helped

Reply:the devil is not real
Reply:Tarot cards, weegee boards. All a lot of innocent fun, and I know no one who takes them seriously. Work of the devil? LOL
Reply:They are not of God. The old testament warns to stay away from such things!
Reply:Thats because it has a link with witchcraft..many people think that witchcraft is bad since ancient times..this may be the reason why..
Reply:People think what they think.


Freewill.


God gives it to us all.





I believe that there are no good or bad choices,


just choices.


We attach good and bad to them.





People have attached that, not God.





God would never judge your freewill choice.


He lets you judge yourself.


He sits back and watches.





God is the creator of everything.





I don't personally utilize tarot cards.


I don't care to dabble in future telling or knowing.


I prefer to live it.





I would never jodge you or your choice to use this medium.





It does warn in the Bible about using these types of things as being evil and all that sort of thing.





We each have divine gifts.





I believe that as long as you do no harm but rather try to do good, you will be ok.





Peace, joy, and love.

%26lt;... I know that what most people fail to realize is that a lot of the picture cards of the Major Arcana are directly from the Bible. For example, The Tower Card represents the Tower of Babel when everyone was speaking in different tongues and in a state of confusion. Also from the Bible is The Judgment Card, which represents Judgment Day and the Archangel Gabriel. We also have The Temperance Card, which represents the Archangel Raphael and looking at the cup that's half full, not always the one that is half empty.%26gt;
Reply:Tarot cards, The Constitution, same thing...
Reply:I think people that can do this stuff are given gifts but its the way that the are used that make some of them evil.
Reply:Tarot, magick and the like are not "of the devil" or evil. An object or idea only has the meaning that you put into it. If you believe them to be tools used with good intentions then they are just that and nothing more.
Reply:Deu 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.


Deu 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.


Deu 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.


I would repent and ask Jesus into my life if i was you. Your future is not looking too bright without Him.
Reply:Tarot cards is divination, which is witchcraft. It is trying to get answers to life's questions apart from the Bible. Tarot cards and the like will attract evil spirits to you. I suggest that you avoid them and like methods of divination all together. What you may consider as harmless fun the devil considers serious business. Be on guard for anything that takes you away from God and his word. Jesus loves you.
Reply:i'm a tarot card reader, the reason why people think that the tarot cards are not good? they are only missinformed about them and when i have done a reading for a girl who asked me to find out for her what her life is going to be like if she didn't change her attitude towards people. to this day she is alone and very unhappy that is what i found out for her.
Reply:We discussed this last night at Church. The Bible says "any sorcery, fortune telling, astrology, things of that nature are detested by God" I believe this is because you assume to know what only God knows. Everyone else is just guessing which is an insult to God to think you are on his level and know what only he knows. Anything that is not of God (The Light) is against God (the darkness) The dark side of things such as tarot cards, horoscopes, fortune telling is of the dark side. I would not get involved with these things, even just for fun, you are dabbling in something that is dark (not of God). The devil already trys to get to us, why invite him into your life.
