What if you use them for ONLY good purposes, and you are a very good Christian, and pray, go to Church, believe in God, and believe Jesus died on the cross for you. Which direction do you take?

Hmm, you guys are so funny. Yes, Voo-Doo dolls do work. And, yes, they can be used in good ways. My Mom (this isnt good, but still an example) got mad at my Dad one night, made a Voo-Doo so he got an awful stomach ache, stuck it under his bed, and the next morning, he woke up saying he had the worst stomach ache. Continue?
A pitbull attacked my dog. My Mom made a Voo-Doo doll, stuck it in their front yard, and a couple weeks later, the pitbull died of a "mysterious" death and they were "unsure how, or why". believe whatever you want. And no, my Mom isnt some physic, paranormal, living in a trailer on the side of the road, woman, who has lots of wrinkles. she actually looks good for her age. She does arometharepy though, and makes homemade soaps.

Yes, but what if you are trying to do something good for somebody? Like, cure them of their sickness? For those of you who say there is no good purpose, have probably never looked in Voo-Doo. There are Vood-doo dolls that help those when they are poor, when they are sick, and when they have no love. So, if its not possible to do Voo-Doo and be a Christian, than how come thats what my Mom does? Ok, she doesnt ride a broomstick and carry a spellbook.

ok, well, I have tried reading the Bible, but I am only 13, and cant comprehend it yet. Ive tried a few times. So I didnt know that God doesnt like the use of Voo-doo dolls/Ouija boards. My Dad didnt know. So what if it was by mistake? Or what if you did witchcraft, and you would like to change and be a Christian, and want God to forgive you? Or what if you are just TRYING to do good with Voo-Doo? Im not here to start a fight, Im just asking questions, I just want answers. But not rude ones ;)

Voodoo dolls are an act of witchcraft. Christians don't do voo doo.
It is a curse. If a person does an act or speaks a curse & believe in thier heart it, it is a curse on a person or animal.
Christians can curse others or themself especially if they have faith in their fears & speak them. Or if envy & strife gets in the Church. But to practice voo doo is clearly idolatry. And a born again Christians would get seriously disciplined of the Lord.
When one confess Jesus Christ their Lord, they trust & obey God. They don't practice rebellion (witchcraft). Unless they want to go to heaven early without much reward.
To directly answer your question. No, you can't send anyone to hell practicing any sort of witchcraft.
But if one is practicing any witchcraft, like voo doo, then not being born of God, Gods Way, would go to hell for it. It writes in the bible that those who practice witchcraft (who never come to repentence & be born of God through faith in Christ) will go to hell.
Being only 13, I can see why you might ask this question. Stay away from any voo doo or witchcraft. We all reap what we sow. And voo doo is demonic. Sorry that your dad doesn't know anything about this.
Feel free to write me any honest question about this. You are at an age of accoutability right now. Your guardian angels & God is watching what you decide. So? Choose God & not the devils tricks, OK?
If you have any question, just write me through Yahoo Q&A.
magnetic azimuth, The verse to not pray for someone who does a sin unto death, meaning that not to pray for person who tried to abide in sin & then died prematurely. Not for to pray for that person, because they died already. Nothing we can do for that.
But while a person is in an age of accountability, pray for this person as the Lord puts person on ones heart. So? I think you need to confess your sin of judging to God and pray for this girl asking the question.

Voo-doo dolls dont send you to hell, your actions will.
And if you are a christian and read the bible you will see that God is against all of voo-doo, wichcraft ect.... No matter for what purpose you use it for, good or bad. He is the only one that can see the future and no one will surpass his power.
Only what you do will determine your salvation.

Let's break down what you are saying. I would have to ask what good things voodoo dolls do besides causing pain inflicted on its victims?
Secondly, the word good and Christian do not go together. Jesus didn't call his disciples "good" but evil. "If you being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give to those who ask?" Christians know they aren't "good", but forgiven for their trespasses against a holy God.
Thirdly, praying, going to church, believing in God, and that Jesus died on the cross for you doesn't make you a Christian. A Christian is a doer of the will of the Father. What is the will of the Father? Read the Scriptures.
Fourthly, the direction you take is to read the Bible and do what it says.

Rachel
if you are a bible believing christian, who loves Jesus and mess with voo-doo dolls God is going to kill you.
There is a sin that leads to death, the bible says, do not pray for those who do that. (1john)
unless you repent and get away, God will kill you, and it will happen very fast.
I'm not going to put you on my prayer list. I think it is time for you to either go home to Jesus or repent. the choice is yours.
get your affairs in order. I have been a christian for a long time and I have seen a lot of christians taken home for doing what you are doing.

I believe that we create our own reality.
If you choose to let someone have that power over you then, I believe it's possible. However, Hell is very permanent so I don't really think it's probable that a voo-doo doll can do that.

But if you're worried that YOUR use could send you to Hell, then just don't use them. If you spend your energy on something, then YOU make it more possible. Whether it's energy spent worrying or being excited about it. (Excited about Hell? I don't think so :D Worrying more likely)

I'm sorry but you can NOT use a 'voodoo doll' for any 'good purpose' ... and if the things you 'do' with those voodoo dolls are 'bad' or 'evil' then you may have to spend some time in Hell/Purgatory learning the lessons you SHOULD HAVE LEARNED here. I'm a Chrisitan, and I wouldn't TOUCH a 'voodoo doll' ... but if you do, get one of YOU and not someone else, so if you do 'bad' with it even accidentally, it will happen to you and to no other person.

I am not going to say whether or not voodoo dolls can send u to hell or not BUT i will tell u this. IMO voodoo dolls do nothing but mess with someone's free will and that's something u definitely dont want to get involved in. I would explain my reasoning but it's too much to get into. Also, since voodoo dolls mess with free will how can that be used for good?...it cant.

It's impossible to use a voo doo doll in a 'good' manner. No matter what you do or say it'll always remain a product of sorcery. Voo doo dolls don't sent people to hell, people send themselves to hell.

Voo doo dolls can't send you to Hell, only God can.
That's why praying to Allah can get you sent to hell because God doesn't like people worshipping pagan gods

The practice of voo-doo and the practice of Christianity are incompatible. It's similar to saying "I'm a good Christian, except for the ocassional satanic worship service I attend."
