I agree that a ...I had conflicting views until now. I agree that a story can have good triumphing over evil. But I steer clear of the ones that use "good" magic even to triumph over the "bad". Even the stories we read as children use fairy godmothers/good witches with magic wands to either readjust a bad magic spell or give someone something "good". They're indoctrinating children before they can even talk. My 2 yr old granddaughter likes a cartoon called "Sophia" the princess and doesn't understand why I won't play shows with magic. "Sophia" always wears a magic amulet and the king's sorcerer and effeminate butler are her friends. One day my grandson (5) told me that my daughter showed him from the bible where God is against magic. He'll flip through the movie channels saying "no, that one has magic, nope, that one too" and on and on). I silently thanked YHWH.AnnMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829687754208262486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-65894607445704714822016-04-19T08:43:29.361-07:002016-04-19T08:43:29.361-07:00Great comment, Curious!

Yes, that show is filled with those things, and the Bible tells us not to "practice" them or seek out mediums, etc. Surely as a child you read all the fairy tales - and you didn't automatically become a satanist or a child abductor or one who practices witchcraft. Those tales were all designed to get kids to expand their imagination and understand that witchcraft, etc. was WRONG. There's nothing wrong with making an example of the "bad" in this world. You have to talk about it/bring it into the open to get kids to understand that "bad" is BAD and that they should never practice being "bad". If you never allow your child to experience something, they cannot fully comprehend. <br /><br />For instance, if you never allow your child to fall down or do anything to "get hurt" they'll begin to hurt others or animals...because they don't know what "pain" is since they've never experienced it.<br /><br />So, watching "fairy tales" designed to show that "bad" is BAD does NOT make you a witch or a demon or whatever. <br /><br />This particular show does not portray "evil" and the "darkness" as "good" (the "good" always wins out in the end). However, they have now incorporated homosexuality which they are presenting as "normal" and "good" - and that's BAD!Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998146626031186940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-45905725419243593052016-04-19T05:23:26.894-07:002016-04-19T05:23:26.894-07:00Forgive me if I'm wrong as I have only seen pr...Forgive me if I'm wrong as I have only seen previews but isn't that show filled with black magic,witchcraft and curses?

But now, we have His Word before us and He expects us to be responsible to turn from sin and repent. The day is set when we will be judged, individually. This is Acts 17:30-31.

The trick is in being completely sincere for there is no more sacrifice for continued, deliberate sinning (see http://www.therefinersfire.org/deliberate_sinning.htm)! Here are just a few scriptures as proof:<br /><br />2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.<br /><br />Proverbs 28:13 He that covers his sins shall not prosper: but whoever confesses and forsakes them shall have mercy.<br /><br />Jonah 3:10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do to them; and he did it not.<br /><br />Matthew 3:2. And said, “Repent (for) near is the Kingdom of Heaven.<br /><br />Matthew 4:17. From then began Y’shua to preach and to say Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.<br /><br />Acts 2:38. Shimon said to them, “Repent and be immersed each of you in the name of Master YHWH-Y’shua for the forgiveness of sins, that you may receive the gift of the Ruach haKodesh. <br /><br />Acts 3:19. Repent, therefore, and be turned so that your sins be blotted out and times of rest come to you from before the presence of Master YHWH.<br /><br />Acts 17:30. And the times of this error Elohim has made to pass away; and at the present time, he commands all men, that each individual, in every place, should repent. 31. Because He has appointed a day, in which He will judge all the earth, with righteousness, by the man whom he has designated: and he turns every man to faith in him, in that he raised him from the dead.” Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998146626031186940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-46529091506513185552016-04-18T15:12:48.957-07:002016-04-18T15:12:48.957-07:00You write in your posts that you believe that YHWH...You write in your posts that you believe that YHWH has abandoned our nation.
