Ok its obvious reading isn't one of your strong suites.....I didn't compare you to a pedophile, I compared Harry Potter a "sorcerer" to a fictional "pedophile" saying if you support Harry would you support the pedophile.....Dude... Did you just compare me to a pedophile? Um if you knew anything about me you would know I would punch you out in real life for comparing me to that monster.... I understand you may know nothing about me but comparing me to the person who did that to me... Grrrr
A witch or a sorcerer in the old testiment were to be killed, the same justice would be metted out for anyone who was a sexual deviant such as a child molester. So I would say they are very comparable, but in light of social conditioning, those who practice witchcraft are not thought of as bad as they were a few hundred years ago, same with sexual sins, they pretty much are glorified on TV today, even you yourself are proud of the rebellion you have against God and His statutes. I would imagine another hundred years and even a pedophile could be a hero in one of these fictional stories, and christians then too will compare that loving good pedophile to some silly comparison with Christ......I can almost hear it already! "Jesus loved children too".......how sadThen making comparisons isn't a strong suit of you if you immediately compare a apple to a football. Derp derpidy derp.
Sin maybe sin but that doesn't mean you should compare the two. A murder is still worse than stealing a taco. If you can't make a basic argument that doesn't jump to an extreme like that, then why should anyone take you any more serious than my posts?
And then to take this further to Harry Potter himself, sure he was a wizard but what did he stand for? Doing right no matter what the cost even if it meant his life.
Doing right would mean repenting: renouncing sorcery, the use of magic potions, and the casting of spells.
Galatians 5:19-21 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Revelations 21:7-8 "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."
If you disagreed with the quotes from the Bible that I posted, your real problem is with God, and what God has already said about His judgments, not with me mentioning what the Bible says on a Christian forum.
My concern is with guarding my heart and practicing righteousness. I do not want to encourage my heart to be entertained with stories of sorcery, by stories where the heroes are sorcerer's apprentices. I mentioned Scriptures which express God's view on the subject of sorcery. God has revealed His views on sorcery, and His judgments.
I'm just saying why I don't find Harry Potter entertaining, and mentioning some Scripture in response to what people are saying on a Christian forum.
I don't think what I said about guarding my heart, not wanting to be entertained by sin, etc., was all that hard to understand.
If you want to hear personal condemnation or judgment, you will hear it. I don't see you responding to anything I sad about guarding the heart, not being entertained by depictions of sin, Scripture, though.
Well yeah the thread has morphed and wandered.
maybe God was trying to give you an answer, but you didn't listenwhich is why I was frustrated lol.. especially since I'm still not satisfied with the answers I got. My question remains a quandry to me in which there is no good answer. At least not one I'll accept to be valid lol.. oh well hopefully I'll just forget about it
On the contrary! Its very much in line with what your doing, God said he hates witchcraft and sorcery, and your in league with supporting a fictional character that practices sorcery. And I merely took a another sinful act, such as pedophilia, which every nation, country and state, finds disgusting and detestable and tried to get you to realize if someone wrote a fictional book about a pedophile who saved children from starvation and homelessness, just to sexually molest them, and make him the hero of the story, would you be willing to back up the pedophile the way you back up Harry Potter. This whole thing has been done a thousand times, Its called "conditioning" your being conditioned to support evil figures, over really evil characters, much like Robin Hood, stealing is stealing no thief is a good thief
Six years have passed since the original book. People change. Especially teenagers. I was a completely different person when I was 17 than when I was 11. And Im a very different person even now.(at least it seemed that way since most of the characters did complete 180s from their original characters).
Im pretty sure she had most of the story planned out long before coming to Deathly Hallows. Especially defeating the main villain!At the end of Half-Blood Prince, she set Harry up against an evil that, by no sane possible way even in a fiction fantasy book. Thus, came the inclusion of the "Deathly Hallows" that are supposed to be some all-powerful and mythical items brought into the world by death himself.
Dumbledore clearly says at the end of Deathly Hallows that the Tale of the Three Brothers is just a myth. Death didnt really give the Peverell brothers the Hallows; they were just great inventors, and later on people made up this legend about the Hallows. The point of the myth is to set up a parallel between the brothers and Harry, Dumbledore, and Voldermort, as well as showing Harry as the master of death.However, this contridicts many many things from the previous six books. For example, Harry's invisibility cloak is supposed to be a "cloak of true invisibility" that even DEATH COULDN'T SEE THROUGH. And yet, both Dumbledore AND Mad-Eye could see through the cloak.
No, Dumbledore says he wanted Snape to end up with the wand, so he didnt want Malfoy to have it or become its master. And, if I recall from Half-Blood Prince, Malfoy disarms Dumbledore a second after Dumbledore casts the full body-bind spell on Harry. Dumbledore was caught off guard and thus couldnt have been willing for it to happen. It isnt even close to what happened with Harry.The wand passing down by the previous own being defeated. What counts as defeat? Dumbledore sure didn't try and stop Malfoy. If anything, he let it happen in one of his elaborate plans. Harry defeated Malfoy and disarmed him. Voldemort defeated Harry in the same way that Malfoy defeated Dumbledore, by Harry allowing it to happen.
