Here is something you may want to consider...go to the links I have inserted, and read for yourself. A former witch and occultist is condemning them (along with some other recent hits such as The Da Vinci Code and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ) as real witchcraft, insideously twisting the hearts and minds of millions who view them as harmless or even Christian. Many Christians have been deceived, and as a result the church is being silently infiltrated by Satan.
Why, you say?
Our nation has turned her back on God and has no solid foundation. The church today does not truly open God's Word and study it. True worship of God and intimate relationships with Him are being replaced by religious forms and practices which appeal to the soul (mind, will, and emotions); seeking forgiveness without repentance, exchanging sound doctrine for suiting the desires of men, and expecting grace without loving obedience to God.
The veil of deceit is heavy over people today. Please take a serious look what you and your children are reading and watching. We must be ever on the alert...for the devil goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. We live in perilous times. If we are not thoroughly grounded in the Word of God, we will not be able to recognize evil for what it is. Be vigilant, lest you be deceived, for the day of Christ's return is drawing near, and no one knows when that hour will be.
"For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" - I Cor. 14:8
Addendum:
I know that many Christians will disagree with this post. We do not (nor should we) have an extensive knowledge of witchcraft and the occult. However I believe we should consider the warnings of those who have been involved in those things and know "of what they speak" when they try to warn us. Take Halloween, for example. It may seem harmless enough to do it for just fun, but have you ever read warnings from those who have been involved with the occult and really KNOW how much demonic activity and excitement takes place over "Christians" being involved in Halloween? They "pray" for it and celebrate Christian participation. That is enough of a warning for me to stay away from such activity. Here is a personal testimony that should open your eyes to what I am talking about. The spiritual realm is unseen and therefore largely unknown to us, but it exists as surely as the physical world and we must be very careful to stay safely guarded by the King of the Universe, the Lord Jesus Himself.
It is my prayer that Christians will come fully awake. We do not find the saving Gospel in the Middle Earth with wizards, hobbits, and elves. We find the Gospel only in the Bible and through the blood of our Saviour Jesus.
