I like how the writer refers to Dumbledor's homosexuality as a central element to the character, when it doesn't come up AT ALL in the books. Woops, facts suck, don't they?

    Even if it didn't come up in the books, what sort of impact would this have on people? Think of all the younger (and more impressionable) kids who read about Dumbledor and then find out he's gay...what sort of conclusion (considering what his character is supposed to be) are they to come to? Perhaps that homosexuality is ok? Take this into account with other resources and keep in mind that J.K. Rowling has recieved letters (quite I few I've heard) asking to be admitted into Hogwarts school...so...yes, it is fiction, but the fiction is leading the kids to perhaps ACCEPT something that shouldn't be accepted.

      as far as i'm aware, their is nothing wrong with homosexuality. therefore, i see nothing wrong with abook that has a single charecter that happens to be gay. I'd also like to point ut that there are hundreds or charecters in Harry Potter. Only one of them is gay. why would that encourage a child to (as people above me have put it) "sin"?

Thank you for this article. I have never purchased a Harry Potter Book nor seen a movie. I've just geared my children's attention elsewhere. None of them are big fans. They just don't think about it. I was tempted a few times to pass it off as just fun fantacy for those who were into it. But now when the opportunity arrizes, I will tell what is WRONG with Harry Potter Entertainment.

The author of the article quotes Deuteronomy 18:10-13 to point out how "God takes a very dim view of all forms of Witchcraft...". The author should note, however, that the same Hebrew word translated as "abomination" in this verse (Strongs #8441 transliterated 'to-ay-bah' ) regarding divination, witchcraft, and sorcery is the same word used in Deuteronomy 14 where God says "You shall not eat any abominable thing". If Jesus fulfilled the Law so Christians today no longer have to follow God's commandments regarding FOOD then obviously the same "abominable" concerns regarding witchcraft and sorcery would no longer apply. We are saved by grace and not by works lest any man should boast.

  1. ABOMINABLE MEANS FILTY
    Posted On: 10/25/07 08:00:00 PMAge 64, OH
    We are not to have anything to do with witchcraft because it is an abomination ( filthy). We are not to eat food that is an abomination. The scripture about the vision of Peter about the sheet was not about eating animals but about not calling gentiles, that God had filled with the Holy Spirit and made clean, unclean. If you think all food is OK to eat; do you eat manure, or cats. The death of Jesus on the cross did not change the law but fulfilled the sacrificial law. Jesus said not one letter of the law would pass away and it has not. We are not saved by the law but it is profitable to follow the commands of God Almighty. Lou

    So are you implying that witchcraft is permissable now? Then explain Galatians 5:19-21 if you are implying this...

    I noticed that you are from Texas. Do you attend Joel Osteen's church? Your insight into the Scriptures lends credence to that idea.

      I applaud your excellent use of childish logic and reasoning. I am sure somebody at Joel Osteen's church knows a thing or two about the bible (despite the fact that Joel seems to know so little), and i am sure that there are people at YOUR church that have little knowledge of the bible. Sweeping generalizations are probably the least mature things that anyone can use when debating with others. Seriously, the guy lives in the same state as a heretical teacher, you have a different opinion than he does, and you see that as a correlation? Get over yourself. -Dan Smith

      Gentlemen (or ladies as it may be): 1) I do not attend Joel Osteen's gathering (I hesitate calling it a "church" for a number of reasons). 2) In my earlier post I was presenting a conditional statement that might better have been presented as a question. I am not REMOTELY suggesting that sorcery or witchcraft is acceptable in God's eyes. Scripture makes that abundently clear. 3) Let me state the matter a different way: a) God said witchcraft and sorcery are ABOMINABLE (Deut 18:10-13). b) God said homosexuality is ABOMINABLE (Lev 18:22, Lev 20:13). c) God said idolatry is ABOMINABLE (Deut 7:25). d) God said eating pork, shellfish, and other unclean animals is ABOMINABLE. e) God said He does not change (Mal 3:6, James 1:17, Heb 13:8, etc). So......................................................................................In light of this is my earlier statement "If Jesus fulfilled the Law..." true? Not even remotely. That was my point: to expose the flaw of traditional teaching that "Jesus fulfilled the Law so we don't have to". What was abominable to God 3000 years ago is still abominable to Him today whether it be sorcery, homosexuality, adultery, or eating unclean animals. Hopefully clearer? Peter reminds us in 1 Peter 1 that we are to be holy "because it is written, 'YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.'" Where is that "written"? In Leviticus 11 (what we should eat), Leviticus 19 (don't practice idolatry, sorcery, divination), and Leviticus 20 (various forms of sexual immorality). Read the chapters and find out more about what God considers "holy" and what Peter was exhorting us to do in regards to our personal holiness.

      1. But what about...
        Posted On: 10/28/07 06:38:43 PMAge 19, MN
        the passage in Acts then with Peter and his vision with all the unclean animals? Incidentally, thank you for clearing up that previous statement though on your stance. I understand what position you are taking better now (though, I'm still wondering what you are going to say about the Acts passage). :) And, for the person from CA, I would advise not assuming someone is from some particular church like that (asking is fine, assuming is another)...that only creates a distraction from the point (and creates walls). You all have a blessed day!

        1. PETERS VISION NOT ABOUT FOOD
          Posted On: 10/31/07 08:20:48 AMAge 64, OH
          1st - If Peters vision means what you say where is the witness to it. God says everything MUST be established by two or three witnesses. 2nd - Peters vision is NOT about food. Read the whole thing including going to the house of Cornelius. God says to Peter "do not call unclean what I have made clean". God is not talking about food but about people who have accepted The Lord Jesus and He has filled them with His Holy Spirit. God filled the hated gentiles with the Holy Spirit and God was saying that He has made them clean and it is OK to go into the homes of those that he has made clean. He is not talking about pigs. Think about it; do you think pigs are made clean by the blood of Jesus. How did the cross change a pig. God does not change. Jesus did not change the law of sacrifice but He was the sacrifice. The cross did not change the pig. If pigs were unclean before they are unclean now. 3rd - If what many say is true, that all things are now clean, then do they eat manure, or do they eat cats. The OT says do not eat anything that eats blood and this is still true today. Pigs eat manure, blood or anything in sight. That is why they are unclean. I am not prepared to cancel anything that God has said over and over. I do not eat pork for this reason. It does not make me more righteous but I try to trust and please mt Savior. I would rather not eat it and then find out that I could have; then to eat pork and then find out that I grieved my Lord. Lou

            Amen, Lou! When Jesus cast the demons out of a man He cast them into a herd of pigs (Mat 8:28-34). Ick. As for us... now that we have faith in Jesus and have been adopted into God's family (Romans 8) we are to live by the same "house rules" that God has for his "natural born" (i.e. born of Abraham's descendants) children. The sacrifices of the OT were stopped with the destruction of the Temple. Matters of holiness (staying away from witchcraft and other abominations) are still applicable. Peace and blessings! - Brady

            1. THEY LIKE THE TASTE OF PORK
              Posted On: 11/03/07 07:47:44 AMAge 64, OH
              Brady, not many seem to be able to hear this because they like the taste of pork. It is amazing to me that so many quickly cancel all the scripture all through out the OT that God Almighty took the bother to have men write. All because of ONE scripture in Acts that if someone would take the bother to read and then think about it should be obvious it is NOT about food. We often believe what we WANT to believe. We sometimes jump at the chance to call God Almighty a liar. The mercy and grace of God Almighty is truly amazing. lounewton1347@yahoo.com

I never got the vibe that Dumbledore was a homosexual. I just thought he was a nice kind guy. Honestly, I don't have to believe that crap Rowling put out about him being gay if I don't want to. My worldview is not going to be changed because the author wants to support a homosexual agenda.

Thank you so much for your honesty and research. Most importantly, standing up for and exposing the Truth!! What is wrong with a world where Christians support Harry Potter?!! I have never supported it and never understood how Christians could rationalize their support for it. I am now a mother of a 3 year old, and as far as I know, she has no clue about Halloween. That day in and of it self makes me sick. How can they make and title an evil day as holy? The only good thing out of it, is for the past few years, when kids come to my door for candy, I print out Bible verses about Jesus, that they can understand, and tape them on Reeses Peanut butter cups. They are just the right size, and I feel like I am contributing to the gospel instead of the sinful world.

Trying to love God and the world
Posted On: 10/24/07 04:23:28 PM Age 42, SC
"He who loves the world and the things of the world, the love of the Father is not in him" 1 John 2: The above verse seems so appropriate to this. There are many who believe they can be faithful to Christ and enjoy the things of the world. Satan is not called "the deceiver" for nothing. So a decade of "churched" kids have been spoonfed the mush of the world. And now one of their "heros" turns out to be gay. And their parents thought they had the love of the Father in them... it is not possible. And this generation of young people have been sacrificed on the alter of Entertainment. Etimology of Amusement: 'a' = no/ not 'muse' = to think a + muse = to not think

If there is anything good to come of this announcement, it's that this should be the FINAL nail in the coffin of the "It's an allegory compatible with Christianity" fallacy.

Thank you very much, Jill. Amen! Amen! and Amen! I love your response to God hates evil, right? If we love Him, we as Christians should hate it too, and take no part in it!! Whether it's the fun and games of Oct 31st or not! it is evil!! The verse in Deut. says it all. It is very interesting how Rowling brought this out now, isn't it? There are many Christians deceived by it, all right? Will they stand against it now? I tried to talk to some people about it, they looked at me like I have two heads!! thanks again!

When Harry Potter first came out, I was shocked that Christianity Today endorsed it, as well as Chuck Colson. I certainly hope that he has changed his mind. How can anyone read the Bible and believe that witchcraft is not harmless? Jesus said that in the last days deception was the first sign. Genesis 4 tells that God told Cain that sin was waiting at the door, waiting to get in, but he must master it. He can only come in when we allow him to.
