Question

I heard of ouija board. Is it like checkers or chess?

Answer 1

No, it's evil, it's fiction.

Answer 2

not a good 'game'  opens up things that you shouldnt be messing with.  however, since its considered a 'game' you can =buy it and mess around with it to freak out your friends.  but dont be surprised if you get into more than uyou bargined for!!

Answer 3

ouija is the same with chess and checker game, all required to have a board to play... the difference is ouija board need more players than the the other games required only two... and the players dont move any piece to start, they start calling a spirit while there hand place in a glass which the spirit will move to answer the question the players ask.

Answer 4

it is like neither of them. The ouija board is supposed to be a message board for spirits.

Answer 5

It's a supernatural 'game' where you open the door to the supernatural world, and you may not even be able to close it! Meaning, the spirits that entered your world can be causing big trouble with the people who is moving the pointer. Do not think it is nothing, because you may get more than you are ready for!

Answer 6

The ouija board is a game where you ask it a question and then you close your eyes and the board moves to letters to answer ur question.  It is really freaky but fun!

Answer 7

It's nothing like checkers or chess. It is also not dangerous, so don't listen to anyone who is telling you it is evil. It is supposed to be a way to commune with spirits. You asks questions and the spirits can answer yes or no or spell things out by moving the pointer across the board. I have one. I played with it as a child. It never worked. It was always some one moving it not a spirit. The boards made by Milton Bradley (I think) are not even true boards. I mean they are card board. You may be able to really commune with a spirit( if you really believe) and have someone who is highy sensitive to that kind of thing with you otherwise its all fun and games and make believe.

Answer 8

Neither. It's a "supernatural" game where the objective is to communicate with the spirit world.

Answer 9

it's a game that is a way to connect with spirits

Answer 10

No. It is supposedly a way to communicate with spirits. They say it's a really bad idea to get mixed up with that stuff, because you never know what may happen.

Answer 11

no. it's not even a game. it's like a connection to the spirit word. i don't know how to use it, but i know what it is.

Answer 12

not even close.

its to talk to spirits.

Answer 13

It's not a game like chess or checkers, where two people compete against each other to win.   You have a board full of letters and a "yes" and "no."  You take a little pointer that two or more people put their fingers on, and you ask the board questions.  The "board" will then, you know, direct the pointer to letters to spell out words, or to yes or no to answer your questions.  

It's not supernatural, really, it's just a thing that's fun to play with.

Answer 15

Parker Brothers did not invent the Ouija Board. It had already been around for awhile when it was bought by Parker Brothers in 1966 and turned into a commercial success as a board game. Its beginnings lie in the distant past when an earlier version (a tripod device) was used in the ancient ways of Babylon and Greece to contact departed spirits. The tripod became the pointer now used with the Board, which is printed with the alphabet, the numbers 1-9, a 0 (zero), and the words 'Goodbye', 'Yes', and 'No'. There are other boards like this with different names, but with the same history and purpose. The modern version of this game was developed by a man named Planchette, a spiritualist (someone who contacts the dead as part of their religion). The Board was further transformed around the turn of the century under the direction and ownership of two men, Elijah J. Bond and William Fuld. Fuld’s name can be seen on the Ouija Board today. The name Ouija is a combination of the French and German words for 'yes': Oui and Ja. According to Bond and Fuld, the Board suggested its own name. The primary purpose of the board is and always has been to contact disembodied spirits. Contacting the dead is called necromancy, and contacting spirits is spiritism, both strongly condemned by God (Deut. 18:9-12; Lev. 19:31, 20:6; I Sam 28, II Kings 21:6; Is. 8:19, 19:3-4). The Board’s translated name, 'yes, yes', is an ingenious and subtle way to invite spirit contact. Dead people cannot hang around after death; you cannot communicate with a dead person. The practices and techniques of contacting the dead and contacting spirits are used widely in the occult. Although the pointer is often moved intentionally or subconsciously by the players, you are putting yourself in a vulnerable position when using the Board. By 'playing' this 'game', you are showing an interest in spirit contact. If contact is made, it is demons (evil spirits, fallen angels), not the dead, who are responding. If Satan can disguise himself as "an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14), then it is not improbable that fallen angels can disguise themselves as the dead. The Ouija Board is not harmless just because it is marketed as a game. Satan, the master of deception and seduction, is good at twisting the truth into lies (Gen. 3:1-6; Jn. 8:44). Satan likes disguises and his lies are often disguised as games. The next time you are tempted to play the Ouija Board as a game, look beyond its disguise and see it for what it really is. Think about this: Just what or who are you trying to contact? God tells us to seek Him instead of the dead (Is. 8:19), and Christ "lives forever to plead with God" on behalf of those who believe Him (Heb. 7:25b). Who wants the Ouija Board when you can know the One Who has "complete authority in heaven and on earth!" (Matt.28:18). If you are wondering about Christ, think on His words in John 5:23b-24, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father , who sent him. I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
