Lord of the Rings... ok? -
05-10-2010, 10:56 AM
I know that Tolkien was a Christian but the story seems a bit like a D&D type thing, with wizards and orcs. Is it ok, or are there some problems to stay clear of?

Absolutely! It's as bad as Harry Potter. There is divination and witchcraft. If you don't know what the Bible says about those, I will be glad to post supporting scriptures.
Christians are superior because we possess an understanding that unbelievers lack. It is through the Power of Jesus only the converted mind is able to understand what is going on in the world; what the Communists are really up to; what Satan's intentions are. Most unbelievers do not even believe in Satan and cannot understand his tactics.

They don't praise Jesus in the LOTR, so I think you pretty much answered your own question.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

Why The Lord of the Rings is wrong.
Paganism: Nature worship is rampart in the books. See the Trents who attack Isengard for industrializing, Lotherien and the Shire are presented as tree hugging utopias. Isengard, Mordor and Moria are clearly over the top warning of the "failure" not to worship nature and industrialize like Jesus wants. Talking animals like the eagles attempt to present animals as something more for humans to use for their needs for food, clothing and lust.
Goddess Worship: Not surprising for a Catholic like Tolkien. See Galadriel. It was very clear the Tolkien wanted to stop the book were Frodo offers the Ring to Galadriel and she goes on to world dominating femnazi regime were are males are castrated and the executed but Tolkien's friends like the godly C S Lewis, who knew a thing or two about women, urged him to write on. Also goddess worship is done allegorically with Mount Doom in Mordor and Shelob.
Homosexuality: Numerous homosexual relationships in the story; top and bottom with Frodo and Samwise, bear and effeminate with Gimily and Legolas, the whole capture of Pippen and Merry by the Isengard orcs is a classic homosexual BDSM scenario that Tolkien was forced to heavily edit by his publisher. Finally there was the disgusting three way mud wrestling between Frodo, Samwise and Golemn at the base of the allegorical mother goddess Mount Doom. If two words sum up the homosexual content of Lord of The Rings they are; "hobbit hole".
Anti-Capitalism: The negative presentation of industrialized and free marker embracing Mordor, the orcs, Sauron and Isengard. Inversely the non-capitalistic shire, Lotherian and Rivendale (all are self sufficient and green technology) are shown positivity instead of the socialist hell holes they are. The decline of Gondor is explained as caused by the acceptance of a military-industrial complex. The former point is laughable since all Gondor need to do to defeat Sauron was to cut their oppressive tax rate, expand the Gondor military and crush Mordor in a two week campaign of sock and awe. The fall of Moria is also explained as caused by greed.
Anti-Christian: Jesus never mentioned once, or given thanks. Frodo goes off to paradise without dying like he is some kind of messianic figure. Eagles instead of angels rescue people. As to be expected from a Catholic The Lord of the Rings is a massive argument for the false pagan ideology of Salvation Threw Works. Frodo has to chose to make the journey to destroy the One Ring and not turn himself over to Jesus to save him. In fact the whole argument the world needs saving from evil instead of being punished and then destroyed is an inherently anti-Christian position.
and that is off the top of my head.

The Lord of the Rings is quite blatant gay propaganda. You only have to glance at the cover to know so. The "Fellowship of the Ring", The "Two Towers" Come on. It’s not even subtle.
Not to mention the homer love story of those two midgets. And that blatantly gay "elf". The book is an abomination from cover to cover, describing in vivid detail the exploits of two short men who fall in love and share the burden of the "ring". It's full of pagan references, wiccan rituals and majik.
That book should be burned on a pyre.
May the call of Jihad be forever outshined, outmatched, and outlasted by the The LORD's Crusade, to the end of eternity and the extinction of mortal flesh. Let those who march against it in His name be as giants - pure of heart, strong of body, honored, invulnerable. May those warriors be burning stars in the firmament of battle, angels of death on shining wings, bringing swift annihilation to the enemies of CHRIST. Amen.

We covered this subject years ago when those demonic movies first came out. I admit that I went to see "The Return of The King" thinking that it was about Jesus. It wasn't.
Even McDonald's played a hand in pushing the radical gay agenda encrypted throughout the trilogy.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

All i can say is, the main hobbit character is gay, but his hobbit friend is not since he is the only character in the movie who got married with a woman. I never saw one female Dwarf in the movie so its accurate to say that dwarf are gay.
Leviticus 18:23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.

How many female character were there in the story; two elf women. And remember elves = gay guys. All the characters in Lord of the Rings were gay.

The lack of pagan mythology may very well be one of the reasons why God selected Great Britain as His Chosen Nation for centuries before His Favor was turned to the United States of America. First England and later the United States swept the globe as the most powerful nations on earth, establishing English (and later American) in all corners of the globe as either a primary or secondary language. In choosing English/American in which to combine His two Testaments in the form of the King James Bible of 1611, God chose the only language which the world would know.
In 1922, the British Empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen, holding sway over a quarter of the world's population and spreading the Gospel to pagan ragheads, dotheads, negroes and pickininnies on every continent. Careful study of Scripture reveals that the rise of the British Empire was part of God's Plan.
Romans 13:2-3
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
However, over the remainder of the 20th century, God removed His Favor from Britain and ordained America as His Chosen Nation, as evidenced by the decolonisation of the British Empire as the USA grew in stature. While America was adding "One Nation Under God" to our Pledge of Allegiance and "In God We Trust" to our currency, Britain was turning the Suez Canal over to the Godless Egyptians.
Why would God remove His favor from Britain - the nation which saw His Word consolidated into His Perfect Bible (KJV 1611)?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy was written between 1937 and 1949 - the exact period during which the British Empire began declining and during which God turned His favor to America, which He had been nurturing since our Evangelical Founders established what was to become His Chosen Nation.
If, as you say, J.R. Token wrote his satanic novels to create a pagan mythology for what was once God's Chosen Nation, then this one wicked little man can be held responsible for causing Britain to turn its back on God and to drift into the dustbin of history as America rose to take our place as God's Country.
God has established precedent in the KJV1611 for what befalls nations which turn their backs on Him.
Deuteronomy 29:25-26
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
II Chronicles 7:19-20
But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
Ezekiel 20:8
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
If J.R. Token had not written his wicked tales of sorcery and depredation, the sun would continue to never set on the British Empire. But because the people of England turned their backs on God and turned to a new mythology, God turned His Back on England.
This lesson is not lost on those of us who currently reside in America. Fortunately, the Indians are the only ones here who believe in mythology, and it was not until our predecessors wiped out those nature-worshipping occultists that America was ready to take on the mantle of God's Chosen Nation, but that is another post...
II Thessalonians 1:7-9
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony

I did read it thank you very much. And I Don't remember him saying anything about f ake magic, if I'm remembering right . and if you ARE fundamentals then you should be ok with it because the Bible never EVER said anything about writing made up stories to entertain people. And If god dose know everything then he would have seen this coming and he would have put something in the bible about it.

lol wow did you just make that up? Because I didn't see that any where else on this tread. they didn't turn there backs on god and TOLKIEN (please make sure to spell is name right. Its not that hard you can just google it) didn't turn is back on him aether. He just thought it was odd so he just made it up, not follow it. And if your train of thought is right, then is god turning his back on us now? Since we are no longer the powerhouse of the world any more, China and India are. So dose that mean his new favorite is China and India?

Friend, the U.S. has a larger GDP than China and India combined. We are number one by far!
