Harry Potter bad?

[jonrambo]

I know but I have my theories about that too. The main thing is God can take something meant for evil and use it for good. Story of my life. Lets see whos going to take me out of context and say I said the bible is evil. They shall get a royal serving!!!!

prince of this world, ruler of the air, its all in the bible bro
and he does control most of the world thats why our path is so narrow

Right, because its inconceivable that the 'princes of this world' in John is referring to the actual princes of the world. That is to say, the world rulers.

Its not the world rulers God will judge, it has to be Satan. It doesn't matter that Satan isn't referenced anywhere near those verses, it still has to be him...

The prince of the power of the air in Ephesian I will give you, but the prince of the world no. The 'prince of the world' is referring to our actual world leaders, and the fact that they too will be judged.

"It's rather foolish to tout age when it doesn't come with experience on the matter... As I asserted in another thread I still maintain you are somewhat reprobate in your actions, that was a point to which I could not even get a reply too. Don't speak of Logic without knowing the Logos."


What an abject fool.
Logic is reasoning, Logos is the written Word of God. (as opposed to Rhema: inspiration)
To compare the english term for intellectual reason with the greek term for God's Word is nonsensical to a hilarious degree.

(To all others, see my post above for the truth concerning the similarities between the fictional work and real occultism.)

Logos is the reasoning of God, not simply his written word but his reason for doing anything and everything... Logos actually means reasoning, and to deny that is quite wilfully ignorant. If you had truth to proffer you wouldn't be cut\pasting articles that make such foolish leaps... But those who would harden their hearts to the Logos will follow what you say.

What?
Minerva is female, and the headmaster was male?
Are you kidding me?
Do you honestly think(and honest may be a stretch for you), that the greek goddess of all wisdom can be contained in a sexual : male/female construct? Is that your point?
I guess you need to read more C.S. Lewis because you obviously don't understand symbolic imagery. The Owl of Minerva, conected to wisdom? - - - ring any bells, being a schoolmaster?
Learn the deeper meanings of things. Your objections are lightweight and,(on an intellectual level), appalling.

No need to hate, the Greatest threat to evil is below.

Matthew 22

[SUP]36 [/SUP]Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
[SUP]37 [/SUP]Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
[SUP]38 [/SUP]This is the first and great commandment.
[SUP]39 [/SUP]And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
[SUP]40 [/SUP]On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Anything you have to say is superfluous after you compare human reason with God's word.
You should learn what Greek words ACTUALLY mean before you use them.

Oh please, any reason to be ignorant is good with you. You should look up Logos before talking in such a manner. It is not only Gods word, but the account we give (Acts 19:40) the words of random people (John 7:40) or even harmful words against christians (3 John 1:11)

If you had any due intelligence in you you'd see the relationship between the word logos and reason. But you don't. You're wilfully ignorant of scripture as you prefer they ways you've been taught to having to really engage in conversation and learn about God.

You speak big, regress, even hateful words. But you should learn what words ACTUALLY mean before you accuse people of not knowing them.

No. The previous deputy headmaster was male. It breaks premise 3. That in occult the Cancellareous is a woman and in HP the deputy headmistress is a Cancellareous.

If HP was following the occult it could not have a male deputy headmaster, as the Cancellareous is parallel to the deputy headmistress and must be female.


The parallel does not exist. Though yes, many references to mythology exist. If you had a clue about symbology you'd see that Minerva Mcgonagall is named after Minerva herself, the goddess of Athena, not the owl of Minerva... Many people are named as such, in fact the waitress at my local Greek restaurant is named Aphrodite. She's hardly a witch.

You need to learn to think logically. You're trying to force parallels where they do not exist.

Prince just means ruler. It doesn't have to be plural in English.

And yeah, it is weird. I believe you are too focused on the devil, he isn't that important in the end. He's just a tempter and false accuser.

Here we go with your self absorbed presumptions of what God thinks.
Only one as proud as you would presume to do that.
No theologian ever did. No christian ever did.
Where did you get that new interpretation of 'Logos"? From Thomas Paine, Voltaire, or from your own head?

 

[Bookends]

Is "Lord of the Rings" bad, created by JRR Tolkien?

Is "The Chronicles of Narnia" bad, created by C.S Lewis

Although my answer is no for these stories, I don't care for Harry Potter. But you should get what I'm getting at.

It is not only Gods word, but the account we give (Acts 19:40) the words of random people (John 7:40) or even harmful words against christians (3 John 1:11) (Total misrepresentation to C.Y.O.A.)

If you had any due intelligence(due intelligence??) in you you'd see the relationship between the word logos and reason. But you don't. You're wilfully ignorant of scripture as you prefer they ways you've been taught to having to really engage in conversation and learn about God.

You speak big, regress, even hateful words.(Yes,....your right, I'm a reprobate you said) But you should learn what words ACTUALLY mean before you accuse people of not knowing them.(Well, I know enough to actually study the meanings of greek words)

Many have... If you had decency you'd look up the scripture references that use the word 'logos' that I mentioned you might see it. But sadly, you do not...

I could start by referencing Justyn Martyr and go from there, but if you ignore scripture what use is it referring to the saints?

Logos contains reason in its meaning, if you can't look up such a simple thing what hope is there for you?

 

[JGPS]

(Total misrepresentation to C.Y.O.A.)

The word is used in all those places. But I'm sure that scripture as it sits is misrepresentation to you.

(due intelligence??)

It's like due diligence, but also includes using intelligence.

(Your right, I need to learn from the likes of you, you make so much sense.)

Well good, then do.

(Yes,....your right, I'm a reprobate you said)

Excellent. At least you have no problem being reprobate... That clears up the sides nicely.

(Well, I know enough to actually study the meanings of greek words)

Yet you don't... The word Logos clearly does not just mean 'scripture' nor 'the word of God'. It does relate to reason and speech.

I hate to rain on your parade, but the greek goddess and the owl are one in the same, it's called zoological idol transference. The greeks had gods for everything. They thought their God's inhabited certain things. Such as - Zeuss - the heavens(clouds).
The spirit of minerva was thought to inhabit owls.

Dude, you're one superstitious fellow! God gives us his spirit of peace that passes all human understanding, he doesn't give us a spirit of fear.
