Accidently replied to myself...I ask you then, does God approve of witchcraft?
To: Woahhs
That is utter nonsense. The Bible is the revealed word of God. A classical example ... of a syntax problem.
To: Lurking2Long
How about if I put it this way...does God approve of witchcraft?Now we're getting somewhere. No, God does not approve of witchcraft.

How is Harry Potter NOT witchcraft, but only fantasy?
To: Lurking2Long
Harry Potter IS a slave...of Satan...Wow! You are really over the edge, at least my edge. Good luck to you.

Children do not find it as hard to "believe" as adults do...
To: Woahhs
Is Harry Potter engaged in witchcraft?
To: Lurking2Long
Um. Well, for one thing, Harry Potter isn't magic. Nor does it glorify Satan. If any of the "magic" depicted in the series worked, you'd have a point. But it doesn't.
Look, go pick on Philip Pullman's series instead. That one is evil and nobody ever talks about it.

Voldermort?
The anti-christ? I'm not up to speed in foreign languages. Does "voldermort" mean "anti-christ"?

What is the source of Harry potter's "magical" powers?
To: Lurking2Long
It's an inate ability. It's fictional. He doesn't sacrifice to demons or use dark magic. The evil wizards are clearly defined as such. In fact there's a better distinction between good and evil in the Potter books than in most children's literature out there.

I wouldn't even begin to ask Satan to respond to a spell, even if it didn't work...
To: JenB
So God is behind Harry's "powers" then...?
To: Woahhs
Having a hard time responding to the question I asked in post #67...?
To: Lurking2Long
What is the source of Harry potter's "magical" powers?There is no "source" of Harry Potter's magical powers, because he's a character in a fairy story.

Thanks for the suggestion. My grandchildren may like this. The two oldest have read all the books. I bought the books on tape for me to listen to once I found out that they were unabridged. I enjoyed all 4. My daughter plays them in the car so the two youngest kids can enjoy them too. (If you have a Chick-fil-A in your area, their tapes on character, etc, are enjoyed by my grandchildren as well.)

If there is no source then, the whole premise of the book is a sham...
To: Lurking2Long
Let's suppose you're writing a story. It's completely made up. Can you not create, within your story, a magic that is not supernatural?
Put it another way. If magic was real, it would be evil. That's clear enough. But is it not possible, within the realms of fiction, to have magic that is not evil?
Or should we burn Mary Poppins too?
