Shall we worship the creation or the creator?
Reading those chapters in Job, to me that is what came across. Not for us to seek after the creation but to seek after the one who created it for the answers. All of creation testifys of our Might Lord. All of it is his handy work. But to worship the moon or the sun or the earth, or the elements,that is NOt what that chapters said at all. God Reveals Himself threw creation but doesnt expect us to worship the creation.
When we turn to anything other than God for answers or Power, we are rejecting him. This is how I exsplained it to my children when the whole magic issue came up.When we do not depend on God we are depending on the Enemy. And as Christians we do not have to do that, for God has told us what ever we need he will provide, we do not need to rely on magic or anything else, to do so would be like telling God we do not belive him or what he has promised us. The thing about Harry Potter is, as some think weed is the gateway drug, well Harry Potter is like the gateway book for the acult.
And more over I have no fear of those who talk with the dead or read tarro cards or draw power from other sources. All I have to do is cast them out In Jesus Name, and the demons shall flee. If those in Salm was as confident they had real demons among them that is all they should of done. As we see with that fool Pelphs, anyone can twist scripture and turn it into what God has not intended.
Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged, Making Evil Look Innocent, author Robert S. McGee explains: "Children as young as kindergarten are being introduced to human sacrifice, the sucking of blood from dead animals, and possession by spirit beings." With the exception of sucking blood..doesn't the Bible speak of human sacrifice in the story of a father asked to sacrifice his son. the Bible also speaks of a Spirit.
ReplyDeleteGod condems child sacrifice or human sacrifice. And the reason we do not need animal sacrifice anylonger is because Jeus paid the price for all sins once and for all, he was the perfect sacrifice. (but watch for the temple to be rebuild and for the jews to start animal sacrifices up again)
ReplyDeleteYes it does. In the O.T. sins was covered by the blood of aninmal sacrifices. And to test Abraham God told him he must sacrifice his son( a picture of Jesus to come and what God did with his son) But if you read the story you will see that at the last second God stopped him from doing it.
ReplyDeleteMary, your beliefs don't bother me. If you wish to believe that Harry Potter books are things of evil, that's your choice and I'd defend it till the day I die. I only ask that please, don't align yourself with people who used Bible verses to kill millions of men, women, and children in the name of God for hundreds of years. I believe there are people in our country today that would do this if they could get away with it because so much hatred is spread by religious leaders.
