AOL News - Not Your Father's Witch Who said there was no such thing as witches and its all fantasy?? YES it is a Religion to many many ppl. So don't laugh at me when I say No I do not want my kids reading Harry Potter Books and the alike. Don't go telling me its all Fantasy and fun and I am being a mean parent who spoils everything. I am exercising my rights to protect my young from getting drawn into what is dangerous and satanic to its very core.
Deuteronomy 17:3 And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deuteronomy 5:7 Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
You may have the proper answer. It seems to me that there is to much discussion as a "good" thing regarding the dark spiritual life. We should keep the dark, dark and bring the bright side forward all the time to shine as a beacon of warning. Harry Potter may be fine reading but considering the way children are easily impressed and how they fantisize maybe dark powers are something better left in the dark.
ReplyDeleteWhat is a better example to learn from, the natural world God created or the acts of the Christian church with the blood of over 20 million so called “witches” on its hands? These people inflamed by the very verses you quote shoved stakes up infant’s rectums, burned young and old women alive and tore limbs from people’s bodies until they “confessed” to being bonded to Satan. Do you really want to be identified with them?
ReplyDeleteFantasy is just that which is not real. Harry Potter is not real, nor are the things written about in his books real. People cannot turn other people into newts. They don’t fly on broomsticks, and they don’t make pigs tails grow from people’s rear ends. Nor is anything like this referred to in the Bible. The only “witch” we’re introduced to in the Bible is the woman of Endor who met with Saul, not a witch by fantasy standards, but a medium – someone who supposedly spoke with the dead.
ReplyDeleteThe best Biblical advice I know is, “Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your hear to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.” And please, I’m not referring to you as a fool. Thanks.

In Job 12 we are told to “ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?” That’s all that the people we call “witches” today do. They look to nature for answers and guidance.
ReplyDeleteHuny, I know you are only repeating things you’ve been taught. But the Bible is stronger than those things and God is bigger than a few ill chosen verses. Read Job 38 thru 41 and then tell me that God is not worshipped in nature.
ReplyDeleteI think you are being much too serious about Harry Potter and witches. I think anything that gets children interested in reading is a good thing.
ReplyDeleteOne note: please NEVER put red lettering on a blue background. The human eye has difficulty distinguishing between two primary colors at the same time. This is very disorienting.
Hey sweetie -I can't quote any Bible versus, except John 3:16 and I think Happy Chick has mostly declared what I wish I could have spoken - but anyway, I respect your opinions and your religion...just remember that kids need fantasy in their lives whether it comes through books or Barbie...it's just fun, it's not demonic. The books weren't made to be demonic and I doubt God sees Harry Potter as a threat. But again, I respect you as person for having your own say,
ReplyDeleteErin!
To use the exploitations of a few to malign the many is the last refuge of a yellow journalist. ("Yellow journalism" was coined at the turn of the century '18th to 19th' as a sensationalist form of reporting with the desire to build a name and gain money...not reporting truth.) HunyBea, I agree with you and find it ridiculous someone would equate you with misguided folks from the past.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that I appreciate that fact that you have your own morals, values and standards, and that you are in touch with god. But I do have to say that what you said makes me sad. My aunt practiced, and she was a wonderful person. To me your statement was hurtful, and made me feel discriminated against, for the people that you are saying are wrong. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do.
ReplyDeleteYes the Word Of God can be very offensive to the World.
ReplyDeleteI have never found anything in the Bible to be offensive. I HAVE found the way some church and national leaders use what they rip out of it to be HIGHLY offensive. I can't say the that of you, Mary. I think God has put it in your heart not to be blindly led by those who are, after all, only other people and NOT God.
