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?
I am not condemned by GOD. Cherrypicking scriptures, doesn't really work as refutation. Nowhere, in either the OT, nor in the NT, is it stated that reading books about a fantasy world , which has wizaedry in it, is a sin, immoral, against GOD's teachings. It says things like " Do not suffer a witch to live ", and don't consort ( that means be up close and personal with, ask advice from, pay for the services of ) with witchs. K ?
You do keep ignoring salient points , so I'll repeat. Wasn't Joseph foretelling the future ( dabbling in witchcraft / the occult ) when he told Pharoh, what the meaning of his dreams meant ? Was Joseph punished ? NO, he was rewarded. Did Moses engage in magic ? Why, yes he did.
Have you EVER read / told / taken your children to see movies and / or stage plays , stories that contained witches, wizards, fairies, and magic ? If you jave, then your posts to others are hyocritical.
WHy do I post on these threads ? To countermand the lies and misinformation spread by others; that's why. We don't need any more " witch trials " in this country. Innocent people were murdered, because some people had their own agendas . Bearing false witness, in case you have forgotten, is breaking one of the 10 Commandments, and that is exactly what many do on these threads.
