“PM: Is God so powerless in your life that some children’s fantasy stories, written by an everyday English mother, can destroy you and your family?”
My faith is not at issue.
What is at issue is that the most popular children’s series of our generation glorifies soemthing that God has called an abomination.
My faith is not at issue.
Tut-tut! Don't be so quick to dismiss my question! This issue is every bit about one's faith. An amount the size of a mustard seed could move a mountain, could it not?
Then tell us: Is YOUR faith strong enough to thwart the "evil influences" of Harry Potter books?
If your children were to "accidentally" read a chapter, have you provided them with a foundation so well grounded in faith that they can tell fantasy from reality? Can they discern?
Would they have learned from your example to have faith that God is real and powerful and protects them as believers?
So far, what you are projecting is an image of someone so afraid that your faith is so much weaker than the world that you cannot bear to even look at children's fairytales!
You seem less of a "Christian Soldier" and more of a ... well, I won't insult you, PM.
God bless you; and try to remember that those who fear God in their heart need not fear the devil in a Harry Potter book.
