Topic > Comparing Christian Ideas to JK Rowling's

The Christian church has had its divisions over the years. Denominations are torn apart by issues such as the possibility of losing the faith, predestination and homosexuality. On a personal level, disputes always arise among individuals about what the Bible says is correct or not. Some are black and white, but others are gray. Christians all over the world have been fighting each other in the greyness since September 1, 1998, when Joanne Kathleen (JK) Rowling came out with her last series. The author tells the adventures of a loser, Harry Potter. How he ends up in a boarding school, makes two close friends, goes on adventures to save the world and always ends up saving it in the end. Now that he has five books inside, the heat has increased. Christians are creating websites, books, magazine articles and protesting books. The hard part about Harry Potter is that he's a wizard. This is directly contrary to the Bible and deserves all the attention Christians give it. We may not be able to stop her from writing these evil things, or from infecting children around the world with the lies of witchcraft, but we must stop our brothers and sisters in Christ, or our children, from reading this rubbish and from fall into the trap that Satan has set. The most obvious way to demonstrate the evil of the series is to start with the only textbook God gave Christians. First, the Old Testament says in Deuteronomy 18:10-12: There will not be found among you anyone who causes his son or daughter to pass through the fire, or who practices divination, or who practices witchcraft, or who interprets omens. , or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritualist, or one who summons the dead. "For whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord; and because of these abominations the Lord your God will cast them out before you. For those who believe that the Old Testament is not what God intended it to be law, and the New Testament nullifies it, the Bible states in Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, witchcraft, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, revelry, and the like, of which I warn you, as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
