Originally posted by wolfgang59I remember when the first role playing games came out. Dungeons and Dragons was the big one in high school. If anyone remembers, sitting around a table playing with dice, keeping notes, and the game played out in peoples minds. Remember how it advanced, and new books were printed with all sorts of spells. Some people took to the games in a serious way. Trying to actually cast spells to rid their opponents. Meaning get rid of the people themselves versus the character of the game.
This is the problem with people who believe the written word is fact!
Harry Potter is a story (just like the bible) and no matter how much
you practice those spells aint gonna work.

Harry Potter "teaches" how to cast spells.
Spells are make-believe.
It's for children!!!!

As a child i thought as a child. But i am an adult, and prudence is a must.
Whatever age you are, you are nieve. You don't have to be a christain to comprehend, there is a darkness. It doesn't care what faith or anti-faith you are.
Originally posted by Rajk999In deeper comprehension of the scripture, you will find that it is a living growing word. When we were young bible thumpers, every word was taken litterally. But as time passes, we see it is much more than a litteral word. It is a living word, a spiritual word.
Thanks. I am familiar with those passages. I get the feeling that there is more to it than that according to Pudgenik's experience.
i.e. A number of christains will say the Jews are not saved unless they accept Jesus as Lord. Yet the scripture states. When the Jews were in the desert, for those 40yrs. The Rock, which Moses struck, was Jesus. And the Jews, even though they did not comprehend Jesus (or know of Him), still drink the water from that Rock. You see, they drank the Living Water of Christ. And Jesus Himself says to Love God with all your heart. I'm telling you those Jews who loved God with all there heart, (even not knowing Christ in thier head) are saved already.
It is the same with the full armor of God. It is a living thing. It is the Word of God living in you. It is Jesus alive in you, and Jesus flowing though you. You become a vessel of God

Long enough to reach out to the likes of you. Sometimes I struggle to obey the Lord and have compassion on the likes of you, but I will get there.[/b]

..... and why even bother with an online spirituality forum; it's a colossal waste of time?
Originally posted by twhiteheadI find Grampy Bobby extreemly intellectual. And at times for me hard to follow his thinking. But i have read replys of others to his comments and they understand him well.

This is a spirituality forum of many opinions and many levels of comprehention, faith and knowledge. Just because i may not agree with some does not mean they are not welcome. All are welcome here.

I do not believe in magic, however, some people do manipulate demons. These people think of it as magic. Truth is the demons allow themselves to be used, but in to end the user themselves become the victim. Think of it as a casino. It teases you into thinking you can be a winner, but in the end (unless you have a strong will) the casino wins.

I like being a disgrace, a donkey, and a few other choice names. It is who i am, a fool for Christ.
