| Kids everywhere love to catch Pokémon
and train them to fight. The highly-charged Pikachu, fire-belching Charizard
*Burp*
and scrappy Mewtwo battle their
competitors for honor and “trainer badges.” They are found along with all
the other Pokémon in video games, toys, a movie and everyone’s favorite—Pokémon:
The Card Game.
Not just any card game, THE Card Game.
It’s really cool to collect Pokémon,
study their strengths, and battle them against rival trainers. Kids try
to capture each one to become the “number one Pokémon master in
the world.” Playing in the Pokémon world is really fun.
Or so says Nintendo...
It’s too bad they are only pretend.
They are?!
How awesome it would be to have
friends with special powers and strengths way beyond our own!
Like the Super Friends!
But wait! Have you ever thought
about God and all the awesome power he must have? He made the huge oceans,
immense solar system and billions of different people, all with his own
hands. He even made you.
Don't you remember what happened to Myuutsu when
it found out it was created by someone else?
Just like Mewtwo searched for his
purpose in life (in the movie), God created you for a specific reason.
To rebel against your creators and threaten the
lives of many?
There is one thing above all else
he wants you to do in your quest. He wants you to meet his son, Jesus.
So Myuutsu is God and it wants you to meet its
son, Myuu?!
Bow down to me! Mwa ha ha!
Jesus is really powerful too. He
healed disease, raised people back to life and calmed violent storms. He’s
even forgiven tough criminals and gang members and transformed them into
nice people.
Moon Healing Halation!
The most awesome thing Jesus ever
did was to come back to life. When Jesus chose to die on the cross to pay
for our sins, his arch-enemy Satan
[as cheesy Marvel villain] "I will thwart you,
Satan! Feel the wrath of the Power Cosmic!"
thought he could take over the world.
But then Jesus rose from the grave with even greater power because death
could not hold him. Jesus really beat Satan. Beat him bad.
He didn't just beat him, he beat him BAD!
Ooooooooh!
Jesus Christ is the most powerful
Master in the universe,
I thought He-Man was the Master of the Universe...
He-Man~
and he lives in the hearts of all
the people who trust in him. And each time a new person trusts him, his
power goes into them!
Like Arago and the Samurai Troopers' Yoroi?
You can have the immense power and
love of Jesus living in your heart, too. Your love will be so powerful
that you will be able to do great things for God. Like tell other people
about Jesus (train them),
Train them!? I thought this pamphlet was
for humans, not pets!
and help his army grow even more.
Mwa ha ha!
Then when you die someday (which
everybody does),
Unless you're on Dragon Ball Z...
Jesus will take you to heaven to
live with him forever. Cool!
[as valley girl] Mondo cool, man.
Like, totally bodacious!
For Jesus to live in your heart,
just tell him you are sorry for the bad things you’ve done and thought
about. Especially those things that hurt other people or their feelings.
Those all make God unhappy, but he forgives us when we tell him we believe
Jesus died and rose again.
Yeah! You can do anything you want as long
as you come in every now and then and say you're sorry. Go ahead,
loot the mall. Rob your neighbor's grocery store! Assassinate
a big political figure! As long as you apologize, it'll be OK. -_^
Jesus promises to come and live
in your heart if you pray a prayer like this:
"Christianity is the only religion, all others
are Satan-worshippers." Something like that?
Dear Jesus, I want you as my true
Master.
My true POKEMON master...
I believe you died and rose again
so I could be forgiven and have you live in my heart. Someday I will live
with you in heaven for all eternity! Thank you, Jesus! Amen. In the
Bible Jesus said: “I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish;
no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to
me, is greater than all” (John 10:28-9).
How can Pokemon be evil when a verse straight
from the Bible obviously proves the holiness of the show (OK OK, I don't
really believe that...) |
