Christian View
When buying an Ouija board game, it’s easy to think of it as harmless. So don’t call it a Ouija board, call it by one of its real name, talking board or spirit board. Calling it by its real name will help open your eyes and see the board’s true nature. Many Christians have already come to the realization that a Ouija board is not just a game. Christians actually believe that the use of a spirit board will allow a person to communicate with demons. This is something that they say is forbidden by the Bible because it is a form of divination.
There are some Christians who claim to have been oppressed by evil spirits after they have used a spirit board. These people claim that the only way in which they could get rid of these problems was through Christian deliverance. Those who believe that this form of deliverance is necessary actually believe that you cannot summon up a dead person's soul. Therefore, when you use a spirit board, the only thing that you are summoning is demonic spirits. It is believed that these spirits are in this world in order to try to harm humans.
Whenever Christians are shown numerous examples of how messages are received from spirit boards, they state that only demons could create such messages. This is because these messages often sound both "moralistic" and "impressive." Of course, these spirits very seldom reveal the vileness of their demonic nature though.
Christians claim that they can prove that these are demonic messages, not only because of how they “sound” but also because they either ignore or undermine the Bible. They also have a tendency of denying the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, His sacrificial death for sin and the atoning blood that He shed on the cross.
Most of the information that comes from spirit boards are only shown to the person who is using the board. It is usually beyond the capacity of human understanding. They may even be in a language that nobody there knows. This is believed to be caused by demons talking to the person. From a Christian viewpoint participation in this type of activity is spiritually unhealthy and even dangerous because in can result in occult entrapment.
