God's law Leviticus 19:15
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Christ's own words John 7:24
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Clear enough?

How unusual. An atheist with a one-eyed view.
YIC
Mrs Phebe Dewitt.
PS. We ARE to JUDGE ANYTHING AGAINST GOD AS IT IS RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT!
Luke 7:43
and the Lord Jesus said unto him: "Thou hast rightly judged."
Luke 12:57
"Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?"
1Cor.2:15-16
"But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ."
Rom.6:13, 16, 18
13. "Yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God."
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness."
II Cor.11:15
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works."
2 Tim. 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
1John 2:29
"If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him."
.......
Do you need more to show you that we are well within the right of God to do so?
There's Jesus here,
Just see what He offers me....
Down here my sins forgiven,
Up there a home in heaven
Praise God, That's the way for me!!

Just beg Jesus for forgiveness. Here's a simple prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am worthless. I know I am completely pathetic and miserable, dirty, evil, sinful, disgusting. I am the lowest of lows. I am a worm. Less than a worm. I don't even deserve to live. In short, I am exactly as you have created me. Dear wonderful, perfect God, I beg you for forgiveness for having been born imperfectly. I beg and plead down on my knees that I not be sent into a fire to be tormented and tortured forever and ever and ever because a distant ancestor of mine ate the wrong fruit. I ask You, who are perfect in mercy, to please try to find some way of receiving me into Your Eternal Kingdom even though I have disgraced You by not worshiping and adoring you up till now. So I ask that you pour the blood of Your only Son who is Yourself and died temporarily on the cross for me. I understand that this is the only way You could ever forgive me, oh Divine Master. I accept You as my personal savior, from now on I'll do absolutely everything you tell me to do. I'll follow the rules of the Bible to the letter and never sin again. I pray this in the name of You and of Your Father, and of the Holy Spirit who conceived You and is also You. Amen.
If you repeated those words just now, then I tell you, you have been saved! Now all you need to do is get baptized and never sin again, and you're in the clear.

The author is a witch in real life. This is how she evades having her tomes of evil and sorcery banned. Or maybe I'm just a witch-hunter at heart.

Is Christianity real? I wasn't aware that Christian opposition towards the Harry Potter books for promoting witchcraft was just the work of some forum on the internet. Perhaps you mistake naked Christian doctrine for humor?

How charming. A "Van Hellsing"
I have to say if there is anything lower, more pathetic than some angst ridden, self cutting emo vampire freak its the bloated toad nerds that call themselves vampire hunters. Losers persecuting losers. I mean you entire opposition to the emo vampires is based on the Van Hellsings being to obnoxious to get any.
Friend, do yourself the favor and put away your penis substitute of stake and turn towards Jesus friend.

Ok, ok. first let me tell you one thing before I get sarcastic replies spewed at me. Based on what i've heard (correct me if i am wrong), most of you are fundamentalists. Correct? If you are, we all have different views. But we are united by one thing: we are christians.
I have researched if Rowling is satanic and found this: she goes to a holy church every day. so she is saved (if she was satanic at all!)
Also, to the person who said twilight was good:
a. you don't see men depending on women, do you? no. so why should bella depend on edward?
b. werewolves and vampires are the work of the devil. so why are they in a (as you say) "good book for girls"?
finishes long rant

No, there are two types of Christians: True Christians™ who are Saved® by the blood of Jesus Christ, and False "Christians" like you who call yourselves Christian but do not follow the Bible and have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness like Harry Potter (Eph. 5:11)
When the final judgment comes, Jesus will only accept us passionate, "fundamentalist" types. People like you who think they can cherry-pick will be sent to Hell.
Rev. 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
That's Jesus rejecting you right there. Furthermore, J.K. Rowling is not a True Christian™. She goes to the Church of Scotland which is just some papist offshoot. She's as much of a Christian as my Mercedes SL65 AMG.

1) Reason why religon should be banned: people have started wars and global catastrophes over it. They killed each over their own idea of what they think God wants.
I don't remember the Crusades being about 2 opposing countries and whether they thought Dumbledore was gay or not.

As Christians we should not attack this "hag" as she was called by an earlier poster, we should love her as Christ commanded us to love our enemies. And as a Christian herself, J.K. Rowling cannot be considered our enemy! The way people interpret her writing and apply it to their own life is not her fault nor should it be taken out on her. As a person who has read and loved the Harry Potter series, I see no problem with balancing a love of fantasy books and our Beloved Bible. Instead we should try to reach out to those who have been deceived by the devil through anyform. For Though this story may interest people in witchcraft which may be a place for the enemy to gain a foothold, if you took away the spells, though you would have a rather less interesting story, still the basic frame work is there. And this framework consists on the strength of friendship, the victory of good over evil, and above all, the overwhelming power of love. This is what people should be taught about and yet it is considered a book which should be banned and burned. As Christians instead of tearing down this book completely, we should be "shrewd as vipers" and instead inspect it and see that aspects of it are very good and helpful for all to apply to our lives. God Bless.

This is a very powerful prayer against Witchcraft. This prayer can shut down witches and satanists forever. Being that this prayer basically shuts down the senders of the hexes and vexes by returning their evil to them sevenfold. I hurl it at you in Christ's name NOW.
Father,
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I plead the precious uncorruptable blood of Jesus over myself and my church and everything that belongs to us. I ask for giant warrior Angels to be loosed from Heaven to surround and protect us. As your war club and weapons of war I break down, undamn, and blow up all walls of protection around all witches, warlocks, wizards, satanists, and the like, and I break the power of all curses, hexes, vexes, spells, charms, fetishes, physic prayers, physic thought, all witchcraft, sorcery, magic, voodoo, all mind control, jinxes, potions, bewitchments, death, destruction, sickness, pain, torment, physic power, physic warfare, prayer chains, and everything else being sent my way or my family members way, and I return it and the demons to the senders right now!, SEVENFOLD, and I BIND it to them by the Blood of Jesus!
Father, I pray that these lost souls will find the light of your son Jesus.. Their own snares and traps have been set against themselves.. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I now loose them from all mindcontrol of satan!.. Father I also ask that you Bind the Holy Spirit to there hearts as a guide to your son Jesus.. So they may be set free from the bondages of satan.
In Jesus name I pray..
Amen

So why hasn't ''god'' done anything with the book yet? J.K Rownling is more rich and lives happier then the christians. I don't see why god didn't stop the book from existing. Just a question. You don't need to call me a satanic person, because i am not.
