Dude i believe you, perhaps its spiritualistic, Bible does condemn that sort of thing,
as I have never seen the film myself, I cannot confirm or deny what it contains...

Some bits of Deuteronomy are still OK; some bits of Deuteronomy are not OK anymore? You just decide for yourself do you?
to a personal level, when you start to behave, ill answer your posts, until that time, I
have nothing of import to say about me, personally.

You REALLY should sit down with her and read a chapter from the New Testament along with her. That would make her so happy. She is going to need your support and not your opposition.

And here's another smack-bang-on-topic question you dodged just now: You haven't seen [the Harry Potter film in question] and yet you suggest that it falls foul of Deuteronomy. Did someone tell you not to watch it? Had they seen it?

I mean, I like to go to Red Lobster and eat shrimp and sea animals with no fins. So what gives ? Right ?
That's kind of what you're getting at ? Why does the Bible believer not strictly adhere to the Levitical injunctions and ordinances in all things ?

I assume you do mean how does the God seeker decide which laws of Moses are binding and which are not.
Thus I used a typical example - instructions on which animals were "clean" for the Hebrews to eat and which were "unclean".
Carry on.

my sister was a born again christian - she wouldn't let my niece watch harry potter( if your a born again you cant watch harry )but one day my sister was away for the day in melbourne we are from mildura 600km away so what did i do that's right i let her watch it my niece! anyway my sister found out and boy did i get an ear full - I explained why i think her ...[text shortened]... is and i'm so glad she listened to me her little brother timmy!
so why are you born again?

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
(1 Corinthians 10:25-29)
Basically, eat whatever you like, unless you think that some other weak person might be affected by what you eat then you can refrain. The same applies to all of the trivial OT laws which were not repeated by Christ. These are not issues to be concerned about. Looking at a movie regardless of the content is a trivial matter. If it does not affect SOME OTHER WEAK PERSON then go for it.

A Christian parent has to exercise some forebearance and wisdom. The surrounding culture is prevailing. And you have to be guarded but not too reactionary.
You liberally try to steer them towards the relatively more wholesome, perhaps ? Over reaction and legalism can damage kids. And by the time they get to be teenagers they have well developed the fine art of doing at their friend's house without your knowledge, what you would not have done at home.
When my teenager told me all the movies he saw, I was surprised. Then I learned the litany of films were enjoyed at his friend's house. You may never know.

I like to hear you talk too, when it is truth.
