Subject: Reading Harry Potter |
Bible Note: Tim We have discussed this issue before so I won't re-plow old ground. You said, "...But, if anyone tries to make that decision for me - I would have problem with it." With this I totally agree. There has been a lot of mention of the Star Wars and the force. Let me tell you my findings and you draw you own conclusions. I have ran into more than just a few "Christians" that have incorrectly equated the force as the power of the Holy Spirit and the dark side with the power of Satan. Not only was this incorrect but their view is so self centered instead of the Holy Spirit enabling or empowering them to serve God they fantasize over how this power can be used to serve their self interests. Their view is nearly identical to that of the Word of Faith movement where God through the Holy Spirit becomes the servant of man fulfilling whatever they can justify from mishandling scripture. I often wonder how the magical power of Harry Potter is viewed? I wonder if people fantasize over how this power could serve them? I also wonder if the Deceiver showed up and offered them such power what would be their response? Oh I know it is just “harmless” fantasy but don’t you wonder why God told us to avoid such fantasy? God’s protection go with you. EdB |
