Thank you for validating me. I was starting to get scared. I thought that any moment you were going to tell me that Santa is fake too.Eskarina said:

No, Eskarina, you did not offend me at all. I appreciate your gracious response to me when you thought you had. I was just clarifying that I wasn't defending The Chronicles, or Harry Potter, or any others specifically, but rather the fact that I think Christians who make distinctions between them have a sensible point. I was doing it myself with Bunyan's works. Nikki did it when she said she believes others go too far, meaning it is no where near where her line is. You did it when you said you didn't watch gory horror, and such. I think we all exercise judgment, and discernment, in things like this. We all have a place where we 'draw the line', and it is based on what God has taught us through His Word, and our lives so far, it will be different with each of us. That is the nature of our individual sanctification as we grow in God's grace, and mercy. If a particular church endorses, or doesn't endorse, these stories, then it is up to them to give an answer (Biblical in nature, imo) as to why...if it is reasonable, then good. If not, then look twice at the church. I think the most important thing to do is to pray, and think, about it on our own, seek God's Word, and face, on the matter, and make an informed judgement that is done with a heart to please God alone. Do not just follow the church herd, or the herd that is down on the church, but rather Christ. The Lord bless you, tonight.

There's a lot of analyzing going on in this thread as to the difference. I guess that's what they want people to do. But I'll give you a simple reason regarding your question: follow the money trail. There's jealousy when J. K. Rowling makes a lot of money when in fact, she's just expressing fantasy in this form. Now that the "Christian World" has it's counterpart in the Chronicles of Narnia C.S. Lewis, that's OK because somewhere there is money to be made. Frankly, I do not think C. S. Lewis would want to even associate himself with the shenanigans that goes on in the name of Christ, but that's another subject. Most of the Christian condemners are not creative enough to cash in the way J.K. Rowling did, and that bothers them. So there is your answer, and as Paul Harvey used to say, "Now you know the rest [whistling] of the story".

If you are going to throw out Harry Potter as "unchristian" then you MUST throw out the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Pokemon, Coke, and Most of all computers :wink:
Narnia - Witchcraft is Evil
LOTR - Again, Magic = Bad
Pokemon - Evolution = Horrible Christian influence
Coke - Can to easily be confused with cocain when someone is talking about it.
Computers - can be used to look up, read or obtain all things above, therefore it's evil too.
:-D

Sorry, Nikki, I just saw your response here. I won't take offence from your words at all. You are always honest in these threads, and I appreciate that. I am nowhere near your line on a few things, I'm sure, but that's just fine. We are still sisters in the Lord, and have the sweet bond of Christ. :D The Lord bless you, Nikki, have a great day.

Witchcraft isn't real? Then my Bible has taught me lies. Sorcery, witchcraft, familiar spirits, oh my. And I really believed the Bible until this enlightening statement above. So now I know, the Jews were stoning people to death for no reason.
Ever heard of the Cabal?

Guys and Gals, can anyone tell me what Satan's most potent tool is in His quest to destroy Christ?

Or more accurately:
What was Satan's most potent tool in the attempt to destroy Christ?
Appeal to Christ's humanity, the flesh... to sin. Temptation. Same thing Satan used and still uses today against man.
But Christ conquered death when He died on the cross, was buried and rose again.
Christ said "I am the resurrection." John 11:25
Christ said "I am the way, the truth and the life" John 14:6
All these things are nouns or events. How can flesh be an event such as the resurrection?
Pontius Pilate asked "What is truth?" John 18:38 Pilate did not know truth and truth was standing there before Him.
Satan is the Father of lies. Christ is truth. Therefore Satan sought to overcome truth with lies. Without Christ, truth, Satan can lead men unto death, the penalty of sin, for death is the power of sin.

If witchcraft exists, it's not something that can be performed by humans. Despite massive research, study, and attempts by people to "prove" that they're actually performing magic, no evidence that this stuff is valid has ever been shown.
Out of curiosity, what's your opinion of the Salem witch trials? A bunch of paranoid nuts murdering innocent women, or noble warriors of God striving to save their village from evil witches?
