From the many reviews it isn't a story or fantasy book like lord of the rings, or c.s lewis books or even the harry potter where the hint or mere mentions of such things. There are a lot of folks both Christian and non Christian alike saying that the book is flat out an instruction manual for conjuring up demons to solve problems disguised as a childrens book. A lot of negative has been said about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many think they are ok .. then came Harry potter many christians think that suitable reading too or allowed. I know they are just books but everything has an influence for good or evil. “There shall not be found among you anyone who make his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord ….” (Deuteronomy 18:10) This is God's view. What do you think? If you do not like a certain book then don't read it. I'm not willing at this point to get back into the Harry Potter debate. Since I can do nothing to change the minds of people here who think Harry Potter is evil. So I see no point in exhausting myself in debating it. If this certain books offends you then just leave them alone.

An example of this was the story of "Frankenstein" Which wasn't just a story about a monster. But about asking the question about science. Just because we can? Should we? What responsibility does science have for the consequences of its creation. I think there is even more to the story then that but that is what I got from it. So before you start seeing evil everywhere, stop and think for a moment what the story is really about. But I know that some people will read the story of "Frankenstein" and only see a monster story and nothing else. So that is why I am not going to go into an debate about all of this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's debating ? When you or anyone is wrong, it is simply noted. If you or anyone is right, rare, but good. Always rely on Yahweh in line with all Scripture.

Lewis as I have been such a fan of most of his work but I now think it maybe is a mistake to have written it. (Not that he meant wrong or Tolkien either but sometimes Christians do make mistakes.) That is my opinion now after seeing Christians make excuses for Harry Potter and things ...it could be that unwittingly these were "gateway" (don't laugh) books to other books that are worse??? I don't know just wondering. People have to make up their own minds but sometimes it is hard to decide. But that children's book is a no brainer bad book. Let us ponder this as well . satan don't appear with a tail and horns when trying to seduce . So what does HE DO , he colors it up and makes it seem all good and harmless . That is what they do with witchcraft and scorcery . they even make it seem like their are good witches and socercy is used for good , and of course make a villian side of socery too . SO what becomes of the young childs mind by watching this , OH socery is good , as long as it is used to do good . He enamors them with witchcraft , scorecy , and so forth by these ever subtile messages . its why even now we got a version of tarot cards in churches and what they call angel boards too . THEY do witchcraft , and yet see this as good . Satan knew what he was doing . And he knows how to farther corrupt minds by using the tatic , evil is not evil if evil is used for good . Ponder that . because that is what this implies . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, one may as well invite pornography into the mix as to give their girls naked woman toys to play with?? And especially having boys in the home... not good! I also was criticized for not allowing Disney ... but I knew that Disney was an occultist, a freemason. And his works were and are used in the MK Ultra programming scripts used on children to shatter their minds. (Honestly, Disney isn't the only one... there is the free mason, George Lucas's Star Wars and countless other movies and cartoons created for this purpose and sold as "entertainment.") The church has been sold the idea that all of these things are innocent..... they aren't. That is just it dear sister . And it is how satan works . And the church accepts this strategy . Ponder that . Look at how many willfully defend harry potter movies and so forth . OH its harmless they say . OH but its not . No one seems to notice the great increase of these kids whose interest FLOODED INTO OCULT pratices , AFTER watching these films . Satan knew what he was doing . make it seem GOOD . make it seem GOOD . If children can come to the conclusion that witchcraft and scorcery is GOOD so long as it is USED FOR GOOD . THAT WAS HIS PLAN . and it WORKED and so many adult christains just saw no harm in it . THEY SHOULD HAVE . we now live in day and age , with a generation that was raised up on these films and do so much of the occult and yet since its been CHRISTIANIZED and they think they DO IT FOR GOOD , it just keeps getting worse , till now we even have books on demons and children . This was a pandora box of evil that got opened and most today , even in churches , never see it or saw it for what it was , the WORK OF SATAN to influence A GENERATION and make it most wicked . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
