ok well im not 'obsessed' with harry potter but i take care of kids alot and end up seeing it by osmosis, and i donttt think its evil to watch.
yes, the bible says we should not be involved in witchcraft. but watching the movies alone is not involving yourself in witchcraft.
the bible also says we should not be involved in murder, or gossip. does this mean watching movies with murder and gossip in them counts as participating in those too? because if it does id be willing to bet the vast majority of us are now murderers for indulging in a scary movie- or even law and order episode- once in awhile.
since harry potter is for mere entertainment, saying it is is evil is making a much larger claim if you wish to be consistent in your principles: Any movie that portrays any type of sin whatsoever is evil.
on the other hand, if witchcraft is a particular stumbling block for you, by all means don't watch it. but in general, it is fantasy. thats all.
but im sorry you feel that way =( hope my response didn't offend you or make you think im evil.
You show alot of contratiction, knowing what is evil and oking it.
King Saul died for consulting a witch, Israel was punised by God for entertaing witchcraft.
God doesnt care what form it is in, its not entertainment to Him. If you watch what is evil to God you partisapate in the act.
Ill let you expalin your actions to God, ok.
As for me and my house, we serve the Lord. Harry Potter and a few other things are banned from my house.
YES, you just won this thread. This is what i was trying to get out before, but couldn't word it properly.
