Harry Potter at Home?

I was driving with my 4 boys and listening to someone interview Eric on the radio and he shared his testimony. He said in the next show he would discuss why Harry Potter is not good for our children. My oldest has wanted to read HP and I just haven't felt right about it. Now I know why!

Harry Potter at School - "Christian" School !!!

Our Christian school has just allowed Harry Potter books to be in the library. The librarian says they are okay. Ha! I am disgusted by this. Also kids get "accelerated reader points" (AR points) for every book they read that has this test. So these books will be read because of the points!!! I'm giving a copy of one of your articles to her.

Keep up the good work. Thanks

Eric Responds:

I am disgusted hearing it too Jackie. Why pay money to have our kids and grandkids indoctrinated by the same ideology that we are fleeing the public schools to avoid?

So many Christians are just plain oblivious to how strongly God forbids us to participate in or entertain ourselves with things that His Word clearly states are going to end up in the lake of fire. I could go on and on but....(see my website "Information Center" for more)

Anyway, many solid Christian schools are bringing me in to instruct and warn against Harry Potter. I encourage you to make noise and at least write a balanced, biblical and documented letter to the administrator. If that doesn't bring action, go to the school board directly or a PTA meeting and be vocal. Have your documentation in hand and expect people to roll their eyes. That's OK. So be it.

If that still doesn't get someone to wake up, tell every parent you know to beware. As you are aware, there are parents that would NEVER do this but who knows how many kids your protest will end up protecting. If they are accepting Harry Potter at school this year, what's next? From the seminaries to the pulpits to the lay people America Christians have often allowed popularity and culture to dictate against biblical judgment on how to operate our lives and churches. This is exactly why the Body of Christ is in the mess we are in today. We have trusted our feelings and not the absolute and complete truth of God's Word to guide us.

One caution...if you do choose to speak up, have your facts right, use the Scripture as the bottom line and expect to be branded as a narrow minded resistor to "progress."

Let me know if I can be a help. I could provide a few booklets my old publisher did for us of the chapter on Harry Potter from my book Entertaining Spirits Unaware: The End-Time Occult Invasion. I only have a few left but would be glad to share some with you.

Bless you and hang in there!

A Catholic Searching

Hello Again Eric,

I am going through a really hard time. I have been a Catholic for almost 45 years. When I read your teachings on the Catholic faith, I get really shaken up. I have never wanted to do anything but follow Jesus, and I am distressed, that my very faith may be keeping me from true salvation. But you must understand, I have been taught nothing else, and have come to see the truth in the teaching of my Church. It is hard to abandon a lifetime of beliefs. Please pray that God will give me guidance, and reveal his truth to me. I really appreciate having your teachings available to me, even if they have shaken me to the core.
Jack

Eric Responds:

Jack,

I do understand. And believe me, we are ALL (or should all be) learning and growing and being divinely adjusted as we endeavor to follow Him closer. I know traditions are very hard to deal with. For example, I am convinced that the majority of Mormons continue in Mormonism even though they have grave reservations. For the sake of so many around us I wish God graded our sincerity but alas, this is not the case.

Still Jack, God knows that your heart's cry is to serve Him and, I believe, Him ALONE. As a Protestant, though I serve the body of Christ, I aim only at pleasing an "audience of One." I know this is what you are saying as well.

I am blessed that you have taken to heart what I wrote in a non-defensive and receptive manor. This is a huge first step my friend. Please allow me to extend to you the offer to dialog with you more. I will be happy to make my cell number available and we could discuss things in the timing that you are comfortable with. Let's examine and see what steps you need to make and how to best accomplish what God wants for your life.

Please be in touch and know that tonight I have gone to the throne of the King and presented your situation before Him.

Bless you Jack,

Eric

A "Mad: Mormon

Man it is funny to see you people down something you know nothing about! I know for a surety that you have never READ the Book Of Mormon! If you did you would see how clear it is and how you are so wrong about how the MORMON JESUS IS ALL DIFFERENT! He is the same Christ/Jesus in the Bible! So NO you have not read the Book Of Mormon one bit......you might have read it but you didn't READ it! Enough said!"
-No name or email address left 10/4/2005

Eric Responds:

Oh, but I am afraid that we have read The Book of Mormon. "You People" (whose writings appear on our website) includes Ed Decker, a Mormon for over 20 years, Jim Spencer, another Temple Mormon both of which have rejected Mormonism, came to Christ and have seen thousands of Mormons come out of Joseph Smith's cult and into the life-giving life that only the Jesus of the Bible can bring.

It is quite interesting that the current Mormon President, Gordon B. Hinckley himself stated that the Mormon Jesus was not the Christian Jesus.

Hinckley said: “In bearing testimony of Jesus Christ, President Hinckley spoke of those outside the Church who say Latter-day Saints ‘do not believe in the traditional Christ.’ (He said) ‘No, I don't. The traditional Christ of whom they speak is not the Christ of whom I speak. For the Christ of whom I speak has been revealed in this the Dispensation of the Fulness (sic) of Times...In this dispensation, the Lord has declared that this Church is the only true and living Church upon the face of the whole earth.’”
- LDS Church News Archives, Saturday, June 20, 1998 reporting on Hinckley’s speech to 6,600 missionaries assembled in Paris. (http://www.desnews.com/cgi-bin/libstory_church?dn98&9806210091.)

(For more information on the differences in the Biblical Jesus and the Mormon counterfeit or for information on Mormonism in general visit the Information Center.)

Notice that the writer of this email says that the Mormon Jesus is the same as the one portrayed in the Bible, while Hinckley just states that Mormonism's version of Jesus is not the same of Christianity's. (Hinckley may just be inferring that Christians are ignorant or wrong about who they think Jesus is.) But the fact is, the Mormon Jesus is a completely different Jesus that that who is reflected in the Bible. Thus it should be apparent that this is the first and most paramount reason why unless Mormonism should abandon The Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and The Doctrine and Covenants and accept historic orthodoxy that any dialog Christians may have with Mormons in an attempt to merge the two belief systems will result in the capitulation of orthodox Christian doctrine and the acceptance of Mormon heresy. The misguided Christian ministers who are seeking reconciliation with Mormon leaders should take note that unless one or the other of the two sides give in on central and essential doctrines that their well meaning ideas are misguided and futile. Moreover, the Mormon leadership couldn't be more please that to have Christian leaders stand in the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple apologizing to them for decades of "Mormon bashing."

I understand that anger and vehemence of the writer of the email above. I also understand how many Mormons feel that Christians despise them. I hope that this is a misconception and fir the most part I believe that it is.  I have had many conversations with Mormon missionaries. In fact, they have been in my home neighborhood often over the past few days as I've been home. I go out of my way to dialog with them, praying and believing that by doing so not only will the seeds of doubt be planted in their hearts but that they will do self examination of their beliefs when compared to the Bible.

My real hope is that the writer of the email above - as well as other Mormons -  will keep coming back to our website and keep reading long enough to allow the Holy Spirit to show them the truth in his or her heart. Only Christ can save the Mormon. We Christians just have to be fit conduits to convey the message that saves, heals and delivers hungry souls.
