1 | Sorcery justified? | Matt 13:34 | biblesearcher | 68863 | ||
Is "the Chronicles of narnia" and "the lord of the rings" evil? My opinion is that: even if they were written by Christians and communicate a good message, they're using portraying the bible with sorcery, which is against the bible. | ||||||
2 | Sorcery justified? | Matt 13:34 | charis | 68864 | ||
Dear biblesearcher, Greetings in the name of Jesus! "All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables, and He did not speak to them without a parable." Matthew 13:34 NASB Parable - from Latin and Greek 'comparison' - a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle. M-W Dictionary. These two series were written to portray to children the battle between good and evil. They are both fantasy, but never show sorcery as good. In fact, even sorcery used for good purpose has consequences. I enjoy both of these, and my children do, too! To me (and my girls) the imagery leads to understand more about God, as well as dignity, honor, love, vision, purpose, responsibility and respect. These attributes are always lifted up as good, and temptation, greed, lust and deceit are always called evil. I think that we must be careful with ANY publication! I have read some recent 'Christian' novels that I thought were more dangerous than these two works of fiction. Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |

Greetings John, I am also a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and of C.S. Lewis. I enjoyed the article that you posted, which mostly had to do with Tolkien. When writing a question such as the one posted, "Sorcery justified?", I believe that one such question should be placed upon the writings that a particular author has written, rather than on the present day movies that however loosely or accurately base themselves upon those works. Blessings to you, Makarios |
