Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

Ok, ok. first let me tell you one thing before I get sarcastic replies spewed at me. Based on what i've heard (correct me if i am wrong), most of you are fundamentalists. Correct? If you are, we all have different views. But we are united by one thing: we are christians.

I have researched if Rowling is satanic and found this: she goes to a holy church every day. so she is saved (if she was satanic at all!)

No, there are two types of Christians: True Christians™ who are Saved® by the blood of Jesus Christ, and False "Christians" like you who call yourselves Christian but do not follow the Bible and have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness like Harry Potter (Eph. 5:11)

When the final judgment comes, Jesus will only accept us passionate, "fundamentalist" types. People like you who think they can cherry-pick will be sent to Hell.

Rev. 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

That's Jesus rejecting you right there. Furthermore, J.K. Rowling is not a True Christian™. She goes to the Church of Scotland which is just some papist offshoot. She's as much of a Christian as my Mercedes SL65 AMG.

1) Reason why religon should be banned: people have started wars and global catastrophes over it. They killed each over their own idea of what they think God wants.

I don't remember the Crusades being about 2 opposing countries and whether they thought Dumbledore was gay or not.

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

As Christians we should not attack this "hag" as she was called by an earlier poster, we should love her as Christ commanded us to love our enemies. And as a Christian herself, J.K. Rowling cannot be considered our enemy! The way people interpret her writing and apply it to their own life is not her fault nor should it be taken out on her. As a person who has read and loved the Harry Potter series, I see no problem with balancing a love of fantasy books and our Beloved Bible. Instead we should try to reach out to those who have been deceived by the devil through anyform. For Though this story may interest people in witchcraft which may be a place for the enemy to gain a foothold, if you took away the spells, though you would have a rather less interesting story, still the basic frame work is there. And this framework consists on the strength of friendship, the victory of good over evil, and above all, the overwhelming power of love. This is what people should be taught about and yet it is considered a book which should be banned and burned. As Christians instead of tearing down this book completely, we should be "shrewd as vipers" and instead inspect it and see that aspects of it are very good and helpful for all to apply to our lives. God Bless.

This is a very powerful prayer against Witchcraft. This prayer can shut down witches and satanists forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them sevenfold. I hurl it at you in Christ's name NOW.

Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and my church and everything that belongs to us. I ask for giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect us. As your war club and weapons of war I break down, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent my way or my family members way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now!, SEVENFOLD, and I BIND it to them by the Blood of Jesus!

Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of your son Jesus.. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of satan!.. Father I also ask that you Bind the Holy Spirit to there hearts as a guide to your son Jesus.. So they may be set free from the bondages of satan.

In Jesus name I pray..
Amen

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

So why hasn't ''god'' done anything with the book yet? J.K Rownling is more rich and lives happier then the christians. I don't see why god didn't stop the book from existing. Just a question. You don't need to call me a satanic person, because i am not.

GOD will allow this worldly domain to run itself straight into the gaping maw of Hell; it is the dominion of Satan until the return of our Lord Jesus Christ at the very last second to save all True Christians! Hallelujah!

I can't wait! I hope we all die today! PLEASE MAKE IT TODAY, LORD!

What makes you think God isn't about to drop the hammer on Rownling and end her praising days for good. God doesn't have to follow your time table. Mark my words in forty years Rowlings will be DEAD.

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

This is probably the funniest website I have ever seen. Everybody is panicking over a book that teaches things like loving people and not judging them and forgiveness. Of course God wouldn't want us to love our neighbors or anything like that!

Oh dear, you were too retarded to actually read the Bible!

Proverbs is talking about believing the words of the liars in this world, like you. Just look at the context.Proverbs 14:14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.

Proverbs 14:16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

See, it's not talking about reading the Bible, it's talking about listening to evil people, just like you!

We are in fact told to believe everything from the Bible.

1 Corinthians 13:7 Believeth all things.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Nice try, thinking you could fool True Christians. Have fun in hell

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

This forum is HILARIOUS! The original point is probably true. This fiction book could make people take it the wrong way and decide to practice witchcraft. There's a huge probability. Look at what the christian bible has done to society. Are we trying to ban a fiction book (harry potter) by using points from another fiction book (the christian bible)? I'm glad that fiction book hasn't been banned yet, because christians are the most entertaining crowd to watch; especially baptists.

There is nothing funny about hell, friend.

For your information, the word translated as Hell in the New Testament is Gehenna. Gehenna was a dump outside of Jerusalem, where garbage was set on fire. Jesus compared the souls of the damned to garbage being tossed out. Therefore, Jesus says unsaved people are trash.

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

This is absolutely ridiculous. You cover your tracks with words like pious and righteous but really all of you are just accusatory and blinded by a book written by man and taken advantage of to control others. God hates the sin. Not the sinner.

Upon recent meditation I have come to the conclusion that the entire world is too much to have happened by chance, evolution, or what have you. There is definitely a god. The catch 22 is that no religion is correct. Correct me if I'm wrong but the original translation of the hebrew word for religion is bondage. A god who loves us would never want us in chains. He seeks only to free us in his love.

I seek to model my love like that of my god's love. Unrelenting of any barrier; whether that be race, religion, or sexuality. I choose to love like my god does. God is there. All of you bible thumping nut jobs just have an incredibly warped view of him.

I see. I could post Bible quotes that show that this is wrong, but as you say you don't believe the Bible, may I ask just HOW do you know how God feels? Did he tell you yourself?

Never heard that one in my Hebrew studies, but it is true we are slaves to Jesus.

Romans 6:22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life.

A god who loves us would never want us in chains. He seeks only to free us in his love.

God doesn't love you.

Psalms 5: 5The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Yep, see, everyone else in history has been wrong. Our friend "FindLove" here is the only person who is correct, the smartest guy in the world, and is in fact the mouth of God. Let's all burn our Bibles, shut down our churches and start worshiping this guy!

[FindLoveNotReligion]

Re: 12 reasons Harry Potter should be banned

I don't ask for worship. And who are you to say that god speaks to you anymore than he speaks to me? What's to say god hasn't spoken to me and told me that love is the message?

The bible is a book written to take advantage of people. You say that it is written by prophets who delivered the word of god. What's to say that those prophets didn't fabricate it all just to gain power? What's to say that I'm not a prophet?
