It's not us vs. them. Everything outside of Christianity cannot immediately
be labeled as "satanic" or "evil". I say this with all respect, but your
message comes across as though you are the one true purveyor of truth. We
come to this list to discuss, to share opinions and our own thoughts with
respect. I personally feel you are stepping out of that bound.

If you want to believe that Harry Potter is of the devil, then you may
believe it. You may even express that opinion and reasons for believing it.
But it's an insult to all of our intelligence to claim we *must* agree with
your opinion, or else you'll unsubscribe. Just my $0.02.

basis as to which they believe.

things that you believe. Honestly, I am deeply saddened that we are having a
conversation on a list dealing with faith concerning books that are clearly
of the devil. Anything that goes against the Bible, God's inspired
authoritative word is of the devil.

doctrine of the Lord Jesus Christ as given to us by the apostles. Read the
book of acts, it might just change your life. Stop giving over to doctrines
of seduction and heresy. You're walking a fine line and I pity the man who
falls off the edge.
> My dear brothers and sisters, I would not be ignorant by casting my pearls
before swine. However, should this continue, it will leave me no option but
to shake the dust off of my feet and regretfully unsubscribe from this list.
I will not be  encroached in doctrines of seduction. doctrines that are
clearly going against god's word.

on our lips and love in our heart.
