Do you think it was fiction in Acts..were the disciples deceived into thinking there was such a thing as witchcraft? Perhaps they were fools..Or perhaps they took the Law too literally? Or perhaps the NT is lying..What do you think?

Acts is not fiction; it is a book of history. HP is fiction. It's really a very clear distinction.

And would you tell me what the metaphor is in HP?

I would call it "talent" or "power" (such as political power). HP has a special gift and he chooses to use it for good and not for personal gain. The metaphor is that many of us have special talents, gifts, or opportunities. We also have choices about how to use our gifts. Fiction often explores this theme.

But, if you can't see the difference between Acts and HP, you probably won't get the metaphor either. :o(

No acts is the word of God..it is the exact truth..perfect in every detail..and it supports the rest of scripture in telling us that witchcraft exists and God hates it..

Harry Potter is Americas answer to 9/11

But you are so much smarter and more worldly that I...I am sure you already figured out what that metaphor from God stood for huh?
