Who has said that anyone was going to hell for reading Potter?

You.

Born again believers will understand that it is not good or right or in the will of God for them to give place to this in their lives.......so they will dismiss the book..and the movie for what it is.

In other words, you're saying that, I cannot really be a "born again believer" because I've read Harry Potter and allow my children to read/see Harry Potter and have not dismissed the book.

If the shoe fits wear it! You will not go to hell for reading Potter or taking your kids to the movie,they are simply a symptom of deeper spiritual problems of rebellion and disobedience ..neithor of which marks a believer

Harry Potter is not a threat to my faith, or that of my family.

I am sure of that..but interesting that you feel confident on the spiritual impact on your children...and the impact of your direct rebellion against the will of God..or do you care?

Someone that has made Jesus LORD and Savior wants to,chooses to,desires to,seeks to be obedient in all things.Not because they must..but because it is the desire of the "new heart" they have..

I'm simply thankful that neither I, nor my family have to stand in judgment before you.

I do appreciate your sincerity and your faith. But your judging my "rebellion" or "disobedience" is simply out of line. Other than my posts you have no way of knowing anything about me, my faith, my family, or my relationship with God.

Perhaps you should just check your own shoe size.
