The Bible does not mention video games, but it demands that Christians pursue purity in thought and reject violence and malice (Philippians 4:8; Galatians 5:19-21). The ethical evaluation of playing violent video games hinges on discernment, conscience, and impact. Such games become problematic if they: 1) Dull the Christian's sensitivity to real-world violence; 2) Cultivate anger, aggression, or lust in the player's heart; or 3) Consume excessive time that ought to be dedicated to spiritual growth or familial duty. While fantasy violence is distinct from real sin, the Christian is called to guard their heart and mind above all else.

The Bible strongly condemns the real-world practice of occultism, witchcraft, and sorcery (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). However, the ethical evaluation of fictional fantasy like Harry Potter depends on distinguishing between real-life occult practices and literary genre. The key question for Christians is one of discernment and conscience. Reading fictional accounts of magic is ethically permissible if the reader understands the difference between storytelling and spiritual truth, ensuring the fantasy does not compromise their commitment to biblical purity or replace the wonder of the Gospel with secular magic.  

The Bible strongly mandates generosity and care for the needy, often urging radical giving (Luke 6:30). However, Christian giving must be balanced with wisdom, stewardship, and discernment. The Christian has a responsibility to ensure that their giving genuinely helps the recipient and does not enable destructive behavior (e.g., substance abuse) or support fraudulent requests. While the default impulse should be generosity, effective Christian charity involves seeking long-term transformation and focusing resources where they can do the most good, rather than simply dispensing money to every passerby.  

The Bible offers two seemingly contradictory commands regarding judgment. Jesus strictly forbids self-righteous, hypocritical judgment of the heart ("Do not judge, so that you will not be judged" - Matthew 7:1), which is reserved for God alone. However, He and the apostles mandate wise, discerning judgment of actions and teachings within the church ("Test everything; hold fast to what is good" - 1 Thessalonians 5:21). A Christian must never judge a person's worth or salvation, but is required to discern behavior and doctrines, especially within the Christian community, to uphold biblical standards.  

The Bible suggests a critical distinction: A true, born-again Christian cannot be possessed by a demon, as the Holy Spirit resides within them, making their body a temple (1 Corinthians 6:19). However, Christians can be subject to demonic oppression or influence—external attacks that tempt, discourage, harass, or deceive them. The Christian's defense is the authority of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:11).  

The Bible affirms the core principles of diversity, justice, and welcoming all people (Galatians 3:28; Micah 6:8). Therefore, Christians should champion initiatives that truly uphold the dignity of all people (Genesis 1:27). However, modern DEI programs must be carefully scrutinized to ensure they align with biblical truth and do not replace the Gospel's message of unity in Christ with an unbiblical framework of group identity, grievance, or enforced outcomes.  

Christians can enjoy secular entertainment without compromising their faith by applying biblical discernment (Philippians 4:8). This means recognizing God’s common grace in human creativity (1 Timothy 4:4-5), listening for the Holy Spirit’s conviction against content that glorifies sin (Ephesians 4:30), and ensuring entertainment doesn't become an idol (Matthew 6:24). True freedom is found in engaging the world while guarding the heart.

A Christian must view conspiracy theories with extreme caution and discernment, prioritizing truth and verifiable evidence (Proverbs 14:15). The spiritual danger is that they undermine trust in God's sovereignty (Psalm 33:10–11), substituting it with fear of human power. Believers are commanded to put off falsehood (Ephesians 4:25) and remain sober-minded (1 Peter 5:8), focusing on the revealed truth of Scripture rather than speculative claims.
