How should a True Christianâ„¢ handle fortune cookies?
I know it’s sinful to use fortune-telling and divination, like Ouija Boards, Magic 8-Balls, and newspaper horoscopes. But only part of a fortune cookie is sinful – the rest is crunchy and delicious! Should a True Christianâ„¢ throw away the fortune without looking at it, or is permissible to have an atheist or other heathen open it for you? Or should the True Christianâ„¢ avoid fortune cookies entirely, so as not to be tempted into sin?

I think they are hysterical…and occasionally poignant. I open then, and usually promptly forget the fortune. No problem as I see.

Look it says
“He who eats fortune cookie shall taste the forbidden fruit”

Classic Game Room reviews the BLUE SEGA DREAMCAST VMU CARD which is exactly like the white Sega Dreamcast VMU Card except it is blue and has magic powers that transform it into a pony when you aren’t looking. So you’ll never actually see this, but trust me, it happens!! The Sega Dreamcast VMU saves Dreamcast game data and has a completely useless LCD screen which shows you what game you are playing and has some other odd functions. Most importantly it saves game data and since it doesn’t hold very much you’ll need lots of them if you collect and play Dreamcast games frequently. VMU cards come in red, green and blue (as well as others like the black one that comes with the Sega Sports Dreamcast system). This CGR video review of the blue Sega Dreamcast VMU card shows HD video footage of the Visual Memory Unit in action saving games and saving lives!

Playfully. That includes reading the Fortuneâ„¢ and marveling at the Eastern Wisdomâ„¢ .
They should give them to godless heathens like myself. I love fortune cookies!!!! Surely there is something in the bible that says wasting tasty cookies is a sin.
: looks::: yes ! Wrote it in there myself. Its right by ” Thou shalt not kill Pandas, for they are cute.”
fortune cookies where invented in San Fransisco {i believe by a white guy not positive] the chef came up with the idea as a way of entertaining his guest while they waited in his busy Chinese restaurant that’s a fact you can research it if you don’t believe me.
Paul wrote [unsure which book] referring to saved Hebrews and gentiles if the food your eating offends your brother’s in Christ don’t eat it otherwise its OK
sorry I don’t have the Bible reference but as a christian I like those yummy cookies and enjoy the witty attempts wisdom then promptly let it go
if you look in the web you can find Christian fortune cookies that have Scripture references I’ve never tried them but I found the on the web before maybe that would be better for you
the bible does teach that if you believe something is sin then it its regardless if it is or not
God Bless you and your awesome question!!!!!
A true Christian should break the cookie in half, remove the fortune, read it aloud to whoever is dining with them, have a good laugh, and use the numbers on the back to buy a lottery ticket. Eating the cookie is optional.
I love Jesus Christ and eat the cookie (sometimes) and read the fortune. But I hope you don’t think I believe the fortune in the cookie anymore than I would believe that anyone would believe. I do it for fun, but put no weight in the message.
I also brought candy for the children on easter and put up a Christmas tree but don’t believe that those days are special. I love my Lord everyday and Thank Him for His sacrifice everyday.
It is best to avoid fortune cookies. Have nothing to do with the works of darkness but rather reprove them. (Ephesians 5:11)
It is in fact astrology. You can eat all the cookies you want to an extent but I suggest NO FORTUNE in the cookies!
Stuff the cookie (along with fortune) into your mouth and devour the whole thing… then you don’t have to worry about it.
just take it as a joke. fun. no worry.
What sin! That’s bunk! Get a life! Those are tools nothing more. So, if that is the case, picking up a christian romance novel would be a sin, picking up and atlas would be a sin, picking up a hammer or saw or any other tool of knowledge would be a sin. Chinese fortune cookies are not made in china but in Chicago by white Anglo Saxon Protestants and are there to entertain, just like all the so called evil, sinful toys that are used to supposedly read fortunes and such. They only give possible results for possible paths if you take a different path, that fortune is null and void.
As long as your not basing any major financial/spiritual etc. decisions on the cookie..I think your good. I mean, it is just a cookie haha. And it can be quite insightful, My last one told me to be nice to children..or something like that..I don’t think God would begrudge morals like those..
I think that if you truly believe in your fortune and are willing to get down on your knees and ask the precious cookie for answered prayers then you should not be anywhere near fortune cookies. If it is a playful thing and your heart doesnt truely believe that what it says is your fate…it is fine. Eat your fortune cookie heart out!!!
I eat them.
Then I laugh at the silly stuff written inside.

its a form of entertainment and thats it.why cant you all just relax.as long as your god exists and there is a heaven i dont think upon entering the pearly gates hes gonna say no because you read that fortune cookie and ate it back in 2008.
Fortune cookies offer philosophical quotes that bring insight, wit and a momentary pause to ponder the nature of human behaviour, values and life.
No religious connotation whatsoever….
Can’t you just treat it as a piece of fun as it is meant to be? I mean, how many people actually run their lives by fortune cookies?
Open it, read it, have a laugh about whatever it says…and eat your cookie. I bet five minutes later you’ll have forgotten what is says anyway.
God is loving, forgiving and has a sense of humour. To hold that against you would be vindictive and childish. My God is neither of these.
A true Christian should never handle a fortune cookie! It is the devil! Like Satan provoking the “apple” incident. Immediately give it to someone who you think is going to hell anyways.
Its not bad if you don’t take them seriously. I read them because of the fun and mystery of wondering what weird or insightful thing is in it. I don’t take them to heart because the people who stuffed them probably don’t know you enough to write something about you. If it does pertain to you, it was a pure coincidence. Nothing to go berserk over.
give me a break. its all in good fun.
im always at the china buffet and me and china man we downoh we down like china town!
he touches my heart /cry with his yummie food
nonetheless i dont mess with it i dont even eat the cookie partially cause i dont eat cookies and i dont believe that trash.
