1 | On Harry Potter? | Bible general Archive 1 | Reformer Joe | 21373 | ||
Of course, Narnia and Lord of the Rings were written by Christians with an overarching Christian worldview/theme. One thing that has disturbed me is not only the books, but "Little Sorcerer's Kits" marketed by the publishing company as well. One does have to discern where to draw the line, and I am pretty confident that Tim's kids, being supervised by a concerned Christian parent, will not fall into the occult. However, I also agree with Ed that the author of this series also has an agenda beyond just telling a good story. What we as Christians must make sure that we can do is counter this, just like any other false worldview, with the true gospel of Christ Jesus. Educate yourselves on the worldview of Harry Potter, grow in your understanding of God's holy Word, and be able to articulate the truth in the face of lies. It is a God-given opportunity to present the truth of Christianity whenever things of a supernatural/spiritual nature are brought up. --Joe! |

You are right we need to educate ourselves, but not in the world view but in the Christian view. There is more to this than Harry Potter. You might like to read my posting "Part 1 and 2" further down. prayon |

Prayon: A "worldview" is a way of looking at the world, not necessarily the world's way of looking at things. There exists a biblical worldview, the only accurate one there is. Thanks for the info on Harry Potter. As I said, it is the Christian's duty to respond to the contrary claims of the supernatural/spiritual from a Biblically-informed point of view. "We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" --2 Corinthians 10:5 --Joe! |
