By your logic, if I read about a murder, then I am, therefore a murderer. And, if you've read this post, it makes you one too.
And since witchcraft seems to be a dominant topic of the Harry Potter threads...
Double speak...
If you know something is an abomination to God, and you know that He said that it is worthy of hells fire..and you take money you have earned,drive to a store,walk into the store..and put down that money ....the walk back to your car..drive home....open the book and read it to your children it was no accident,it is rebellion against God
You made a conscience decision.
God has placed your children in your care..scripture is clear that you are to be their primary teacher..and what do you decide to teach them?
You can seek to justify it ..but it isn't me that has condemned witchcraft it is God..
Dad this is your responsibility
Deuteronomy
6:6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
67And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
And I take it seriously. Evidenced by the fact that I'm off to meet the family at church.
And, by the way, my son is cast as a "dragon" in a scene in our Christmas production. I hope that doesn't keep you up nights.
You have to call what I said "double speak" because you obviously couldn't answer it. Your far more obsessed about Harry Potter than I and my family could ever be. You really think you're convincing people - Christians especially - not to read Harry Potter.
But it's like telling your kids on Thankgiving Day not to look in the hall closet (because you've hidden their presents there). Turn your head, that's the first place they're going to go. The more you rant about the evils of Harry Potter the more people are going to go out and read/see it just to find out...
