Not all fantasy is sin. Fictional fantasy, even with magic and monsters, is just art, there is no evil in it's intention. Just stop, you are just embarrassing christians.
If it is just 100% fantasy then why all the real similarities to the real occult and witchcraft world? If it is just fantasy, no harm in thinking of it 24/7 for 6 months?
You are the one who refuses to see the truth. The only thing a christian-seeker and a non-believer is going to see from your posts is a negative example of christianity.. and no, it's not because "you know God and they don't".No. You are not wanting to see the truth.
Just saying it is art or imagination does not undo the reality of sin.
Because it is fantasy! That is what fantasy is, it is a suspension of reality. There are forms of art that is much more entertaining when there are visuals, characters, plots and a story based on human imagination. There is no harm at all thinking of these things in a form of making a story or an art.
I want to make a story about the supernatural in where my characters are battling the forces of evil. So, to make this story as good I will include things such as monsters, demons, ghosts, and powers.. it's just for entertainment.

edit: as I said before, one of the things satan can do is use the Bible against Christians, by having them so closed minded to scripture that they have lost or disregarded all knowledge and reason and tag it as "world views", hence they are unable to determine things with out a fundamentalistic sense and develop superstition and the inability to comprehend what is real and what isn't. This has been displayed since the dark ages with gypsies and the victims from salem.
Into what?
The sin is the lusting and the coveting, not the use of one’s imagination.The desire of lusting after another is fantasy. People create lustful thoughts of another and it involves a realm of fantasy. So no. It is not in how you describe it. In the real world, people who lust after others includes an element fantasy as a part of their lusting after them.
I agree, but reading the Chronicles of Narnia is not practicing or endorsing witchcraft.Witchcraft will always be condemned in all its forms by God.
Like what we watch on the news every day, especially the politics.
The sin is still very real in most of what it portrays. The ways of man are contrary to the ways of the Kingdom, the will of God. What purpose does it serve to distract from that by focusing on fantasy. Reality is much more dangerous.I am not sure you are getting at here. You s are being too vague.
You have fell in the same trap that christians in the dark ages and Salem fell for.

You are the only one who needs to do homework. Even history shows how wrong and bad your views are.Please do your homework for a change instead seeing what you want to see. Try reading up on how Harry Potter and Narnia use real occult junk within it. It is real occult stuff being pushed on children in a fantasy setting. Oh but it is just art. Not to the witches out there. But you can keep pretending like there is no problem if you like. Kids have already stated that want to do witchcraft based on watching Harry Potter.
Not a chance. I believe in New Covenant Nonresistance. Problem in your view is that the sin is selective. Obviously you will not justify cartoon porn or other other acts of sexual immorality in fantasy, but witchcraft? Why not? God condemned that sin a long time ago. It’s such an old sin and it is not really a problem today. But go ahead and keep saying to yourself that fantasizing about witchcraft is okay because it is just art. You do realize that in Genesis 6 that one of the reasons listed as to why God sent a global flood is that their thoughts were evil continually? But they are just thoughts? Nothing bad about that, right?
But this is still outside of the points, other than God or satan there is also a 3rd possibility that there is no real power, it's all a performance (at best) or a scam.
that there are certain displays of "powers" that are not real. They are not from God or from satan, the person is either an artist (magician) or a liar (the pastor).
This is not real. There is no real power from God or satan, he is just a completely liar.
Right, so lets continue on with that point: what did the Christians of that time believed about the people they where accusing?
I remember that argument in where you where using a magician in America's Got Talent as an example. You where even given videos and explained by others that these magicians are just keeping in character. It's like Kayfabe. It's not real, jack.
We do not fight against flesh and blood. We fight against a much more intelligent realm and group of supernatural beings form another dimension.You are the only one who needs to do homework. Even history shows how wrong and bad your views are.
There is no real occult in any of the fantasy titles you've mentioned. Get over it.
No, this is superstition.The series of HP is all performance... However, it creates an attraction, a dangerous one, to witchcraft and sorcery, that is of Satan... and it targets our impressionable youth.
So what if there is, the point is that there is claimed or staged magic out of no source. There is absolutely no evidence of satan having super powers.Yes, then it is a lie... However, there are displays of power and actual supernatural events that must only be from one of two sources... God... or Satan.
I don't know.. Some here have stated that it was about farming and such... What do you say that they are accusing them of?
In the end, it is just people wrongfully applying biblical ideals in a twisted fashion in order to achieve money or gain.... It's not of God. It's not new. Jesus said it would happen.
None of it is real and this is not an actual opinion, they are factually just not real.[/quote]You say "It's not real"..... I say that much of illusionists is well rehearsed trickery with props and planted scripted people to pull it off.... Others... are demonic and satanic assisted work.
You can say "it's not real" ... I can say "some of it is totally demon assisted".... It's our right to have our opinion.
