Ultraman:  "If playing MJ is kind of an entertainment, why it is not allowed to play inside any church? Doesn't it conflicting?"

A similar situation appears in 1Cor 8 of the Bible, where Paul addressed the early Christians whether eating food offered in other temples are acceptable.  He said eating such food itself isn't a problem, but if that act of eating the food causes others to bad impressions, then it is not a good thing and should be avoided. ["Therefore, if food causes my brother to fall, I will never again eat meat, so that I won't cause my brother to fall."  (1Cor 8:13)]

I may only be using MJ tiles to play mahjong solitaire (tile matching game), but if such act causes church visitors to have negative impressions (which probably would) , then I should not do it.

well, that is written down in the older part of the bible
and u said that the came of Jesus wouldn't cancel any of those laws....

Jesus never said to the crowd "the Law of Moses doesn't apply anymore, you people have no rights to stone her..."  Instead, Jesus said if any person in the crowd has never been sinned, that person may throw the first stone.
