Should Christians Read Harry Potter - Bill Schnoebelen

- It is astounding how many Christians say "what's wrong with Harry Potter?" Is Harry Potter really that demonic? Bill Schnoebelen was a former occultist, satanist, and warlock. Bill's live changes when a woman starts praying for him and he loses his power, about a year later he accepts Christ as his savior. He shares from his extensive knowledge about the hidden evil inside the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter books and videos are steeped in occult practices, witchcraft, and demonic symbols.
I wholeheartedly agree. Every Pastor should educate himself on the occult, especially how it permeates throughout our modern culture. When we have Pastors taking the family out to watch Harry Potter, or the newest Mary Poppins, one has to wonder. It's their responsibility to not only guard their own families, but their entire congregation. I've met two pastors that think these books/movies are imply family entertainment. So when the praise and worship music team are singing Jesus Culture, and Hillsong, and house groups are conferencing with Bill Johnson material, I shake my head and consider attending church online. We truly are living in the end times folks.
You judge persons for disagreeing with you on a fantasy movie? Especially since IT'S A DEFINITE FACT THAT THEY'RE *NOT* OCCULTIC.
@@j-mshistorycorner6932 Wow, next thing you say is that the devil isn't satanic. Sir, I would ask that you read up on spiritual warfare. The devil didn't get into our lives by presenting himself to us as the devil. He works his way in through our sin.

And there's nothing sinful about watching HP.

Should Christians read books about good conquering evil? Should Christians read stories about love, friendship, sacrifice, bravery, integrity? Paul quotes Greek philosophers in the Bible, but he uses them to make a point. HP is one of those things that can certainly be a stumbling block. I’ve read the HP books dozens of times as a teen & yet somehow my faith never changed & I never acted on a fantasy. If you are weak then yes you should probably avoid it like most works of fiction. Discernment & conviction. My dad read a few Stephen King books, but realized that there was some kind of demonic entity involved in the writing & stopped reading them. Anyway I will watch the series & make a final judgement then.

As Christians though we are supposed to shun all things that are displeasing to Christ. The Harry Potter books and movies are steeped in the occult, demonic symbols and witchcraft. It may not have changed your faith, but Jesus would hate us watching such things. It's like someone professing to be a Christian saying they watch pornography but it hasn't changed their faith. It's all from the demonic realm.
All SORCERERS shall not enter ‘ The 👑 Kingdom Of God ‘ as liars , fornicators nor DRUNKARDS ! I mean I think we all would like billions instead of welfare govt assistance but at what CO$T ⁉️What shall a man gain if profit whole world and lose his soul or what shall a MAN OR WOMAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR THIER SOUL ? Esau accepted a mere bowl of soup 🍜 but later his seed in earth steal ,kill and skilled in shedding blood to collect all the power and money and land grabbing of entire planet in evil belief that no one else is worthy to breathe that God Almighty has given life to, very sad 😔 I believe jk Rowling was very strategic IN attack against (our young Children) all over world . I further believe this script was not man written but woman printed➡️ $he took the deal of all satans secrets of divination >God Almighty forbids and she whispered them in the ear of every youth in this nation and abroad . I find it double sadder 😔😔That Children are more enthusiastic to read the sorcerers collection and shun Bible Reading but The WORD OF GOD STANDS , and the Children WILL sit , pay attention and FOCUS to that which is ETERNAL LIFE AND SHUN and stay FAR from Eternal death !!!! Let US reclaim Our Children {BACK TO JESUS CHRIST} they are suffering in these demonic attacks waged to steal their minds >afflicting them in much torment ! TIME FOR DELIVERANCE MANTLE OF RESTORATION IN THE CHURCH THAT GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT PRESENCE DWELLS Leading to JESUS being lifted up that all be drawn unto HIM 🕎
@@bobhartman880 well it didn't say in the Bible, that witchcraft is from the demonic realm or that Jesus was against it
@@gremlin3099
There are many verses in the bible that expressly forbid witchcraft and state that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:19-20, Rev 21:8, Leviticus 20:27, Micah 5:10-12, Acts 19:17-20, Isaiah 8:19-21, Deuteronomy 18:10-14, Isaiah 47:8-14
@@bobhartman880 Completely false.
I have always found these topics interesting because as a Christian I am very open minded I listen to Rock and Metal even some bands that have lyrics that contradict my beliefs, just because I listen to certain things and read certain things it doesn't mean I believe in it I either read it out of curiosity or just to look at another persons views or just to research it . For me people are not in good shape when they have to question their own beliefs over a book or a song or story somebody wrote GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Agreed.
I listen to all kinds of music - some genres repulse me however. When you get to a point where you think consistently about such things and find yourself somewhat drawn to them, then you should question why. I know a man who listens to metal, yet as a so called Christian, he cannot listen to any Christian music. Before I was a Christian, I listened to soft rock, ballads, etc. When I became a Christian and had the Holy Spirit dwelling in me, in the first week I came across an amazing poetry book. For years I meditated on that book. Then a friends Father, who was surprised at my love for this book, revealed to me that this was not poetry, but in fact, Hymns. So, I taught myself hymns by buying the music and singing along. All this, and I was baptised with the Holy Spirit, and dealing with the powers of darkness early in my walk. People need to educate themselves on new age and occult, but more importantly, listen to the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, who will guide you into all truth.
You have restored some of my faith in humanity. You are so cool.
You open doors to the demonic when you look into things that you are curious about, whether you think so or not. Satan isn’t playing, he’s here to steal, kill and destroy and he does it ever so subtly. You are fooling yourself if you think you can ride the fence.
Curiosity killed the cat.
Basically the opposite of benign harmless fun... damaging, soul crushing boredom :) to me anyways
Speaking as a Christin, what is wrong in reading/watching such a fantastic storyline, where good ultimately triumphs over evil?
well said i concur
Exactly
I got this one, because it is rooted in EVIL... Then the Hegelian dialectic comes and pushes your mushy weak brain around into thinking that Evil is capable of both Good and Evil... Star wars does the same stuff
@@rowloeightyeight3425 LOL, thankfully most people aren't affected by that stuff.
@@j-mshistorycorner6932 Not affected? While being a Christian is "good enough" for most, it's a lazy way to arrive in heaven. This is the reason why Matthew 9:37 states "the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few."
God needs our help in winning souls. This "entertainment" is a tool of the enemy, and though you might not think you've been affected, your ability to win souls and put on the armor of God is. Your comment is a typical one of a carnal Christian, whom doesn't go much beyond getting saved. We are involved in a battle, please remember which side you're fighting for.
Love you brother Bill! Glory to Yahushua!
FFWD - 20:55 - Sorcery, wizzard, warlock ... 2 men in a black video for one hour, one holding the HP Book - weird.
I think a more relevant video would be "Did Christians read Harry Potter" That would get more views
when was this recorded? Does anyone know?
well he mentioned that Lord of the Rings movie had just come out, so I guess you can Google that
My three grandchildren are left handed they are not demonic!
It doesn't even have to be a question of "what's wrong with Harry Potter?". To me, such material simply doesn't edify me. In my walk with God, I have largely distanced myself from all secular media. Instead, I focus on things which are most edifying to my soul: reading the Bible, listening to sermons, watching movies on religious topics, reading books on religious topics, etc. I don't miss secular media and I don't get tired of focusing on Christian media. I read the Harry Potter books in my youth and saw the movies, but now as a grown Christian, such media is a waste of time for me. I rather focus on what brings me close to the Lord.
Amen! God bless you 🙏
No.
Christians definitly should read and watch Harry Potter.
You said Satan divides and God unites. However, It reads differently in scripture, God divide and Satan is trying to unite now as he did at the tower of Babel. Just wanted to highlight this.
2.1. Christian’s Love in Harry Potter
The core values of Christ are embodied in the Bible, the canonical classic of Christianity (McGrath, 2016) . The Bible is not only intensely religious in nature, it is also an extremely great work of literature, and many writers have drawn inspiration from reading the Bible. While the Old Testament is mainly an account of the history and cultural development of the Jews and the myths and legends of the origins of the world, the New Testament is a description of what happened after the birth of Jesus, with justification by faith at the heart of the faith. Justification means to be justified by faith, and to be justified means to be judged by God as innocent. The Christian doctrine of original sin states that man’s original sin prevents him from attaining righteousness and that he must be saved from sin by the grace of God and of the Son, Jesus. In the Middle Ages, the Roman Church emphasized justification through good works and holy merit, but the atonement movement led by the willed theologian and Catholic priest Martin Luther became the spark for the Reformation. The Reformation was sparked by the justification by faith slogan, it means to be justification by faith rather than by good works, just as what is said in the Bible Roman: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood-to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished-righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith (Riches, 2000) .”
As mentioned above, the core belief of the New Testament is justification by faith, so the core value of Christianity is brotherly love. The love of the family and the love of the little family are blended together in a way that is both fraternal and private. The Bible says that “he that loveth not his brother abideth in death”. Thus, Christianity emphasizes love for others.
The theme of love is emphasized throughout the Harry Potter, echoing perfectly the core values of Christianity. During his seven years of growing up, Harry Potter has received or spread many kinds of love.
The love from Family. The love of Harry’s mother, Lily Potter, for her child is the most obvious love expressed in the entire book. When Harry was one year old, Voldemort’s magic grew stronger so he began to purge himself of dissent. When Voldemort laid his clutches on the Potter family, Lily set up a protection spell for Harry at the expense of herself. The powerful force of love conjured up by this ancient magic actually saved the one-year-old baby from death, and Voldemort’s evil spell failed on Harry, leaving only a permanent scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead, instead almost killing himself.
Voldemort took away Harry’s parents for his selfishness, but the love of his parents never disappeared, it just remained buried deep in Harry’s heart. The love and longing for his parents also became Harry’s faith, a spiritual belief and reliance, a reason for him to be strong and uplifting.
This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven...Angels do have wings Brother Bill :)
Children not kids...
Just listen to John Granger.
Beware of Dogs, but there are about one peoples out there as on the frontlines as I am
I guess I don't have to read it ... the guy who's doing the presentation with Bill just quoted it verbatim. Nice job, guy. You just put it out there. Be more careful, people. God alone knows who all has watched this. You're not warning anyone against it, you're handing it to them on a silver platter.
Great points & God bless you 🙏
That guy smiles at odd times, he definitely seemed off. The wickedness is so insidious it’s scary. Those who infiltrate Christian communities claiming to speak truth but our really working for the opposing team are the worst! Thanks again for your comment & God bless you🙏
Frauds
Aren't you all adults watching this? Do you really need to be told how to live? What to watch? What to like and dislike? These types of people just want to control you. They don't care about you. Just your money. If somebody's telling you what to do it's because it benefits them, not you.
The people pushing the enlightenment, rationalism, LIBERALISM. Want to control. Christians want to liberate you from Satan by point back to God so you can be free.

Well I didn't pay a cent to watch this, so I'm not sure why you say they only care about my money! However I'm pretty sure that the Harry Potter books and movies cost money, which is why the author is fabulously rich. Furthermore, I watch videos all the time where people give advice. I don't HAVE to follow that advice if I don't want to. So your perspective that they're "telling me what to do" is is a bit strange.
should Christians learn to use there brain

Only Harry Potter is about the Gospel. It's no different the chronicles of Narnia.
jokermann100 How is it about the gospel? I agree that as far as fantasy goes it’s similar to Narnia.
@@nparksntx it's the subtext of the story. Voldamort is is the devil Dumbledore is God and Harry is Jesus and the animal thing that came out of the wand is representive of the spirit. We could also make the argument that Harry's friends are the church lifting him up in the face adversity. I remember reading the series before I was saved and making the link. I did some research and it's ture in fact J. K. Rowling is a Christian and admitted she used her own faith in Jesus as the model of the story.
jokermann100 that actually sounds like the heresy known as modalism. Unfortunately your analogy is an incorrect view of the trinity. While you can certainly make comparison & symbols the gospel is more than just being about the trinity. The gospel is about the individual being a sinner that must believe & repent on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved from the wrath of God due to their sin & they are then transformed into a new creature & go on to live a life of submission. I’ve read HP dozens of times and there is nothing that resembles repentance, sin or faith. Harry can be contributed to being a savior in a very basic sense but he is an extremely poor example of Christ considering some of his major character flaws. His sacrifice of love did protect people from Voldermort. So if anything I’d give him the credit of the scripture from John that says something like there is no greater love than to give up ones own life for their brother. JK was certainly influenced by biblical ideas, Im fairly certain based on statements she’s made she’s not a born again Christian. Do you disagree?

Here's an interview with the author explaining her work and thinking.
jokermann100 I’m aware of that & I will amend my statement regarding her faith but some of her political views are very questionable. Still doesn’t mean it’s a representation of the gospel. Like I said she does use some biblical symbols but that doesn’t make your original comment completely accurate.
