Posting scroptures, higglity pigglty , and ignoring the parts where GOD has actually FAVORED someone who uses their gift from GOD, to do what you would claim is " occult ", is hypocritical. Isn't Joseph's dream interpretation dabbling in foretelling the future ? If not, why not ?
If the HP series bothers you so much, then stay away from them. It's as simple as that. It's a pity that your faith is so shallow, that you believe that these books will make other Christians reneg their faith. It won't.
Have you nt told / read your children fairy tales, " THE WIZARD OF OZ ", and / or any of the variations of the Arthurian legend ? How about Shakespeare's " A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM " and the Scottish play. ( I won't even type the name, as most thatre folk won't; that's just tradition.) : - )
Actually I think you are the bandwith champ in favor of HP..I have posted frequently..but little compared to you
If someone is "feeling" condemnation from the scriptures that I post..it is the Holy Spirit not me. I have not "heaped" anything on anyone...the word of God speaks to it..I do not have to.
Do I believe that there are alot of "professing " Christians that see nothing the matter with reading these books to their kids..or purchasing them for their kids..yep..again I would ask them have you sat down with your 4th or 5th grade child and read the entire Bible with your child? So what counsel should that child take..which is more important..moms defense of a book that glorifies witchcraft or one that glorifies God? And that leads me to observe that such parents may live lives very different than their profession..
And yes if parents are reading these to their children and taking them to the movie...they have little care for their child's spiritual welfare..
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. God's comdemnation not mine
So why are you such a big defender of this book? You know I hate it because it is antichrist..why as you so passionate in its defense?
