Beware of This Book....Oprah is Pushing It! (1188 hits)
This is an eye opener--Check out what our kids are being given to read. BE AWARE!!
Schools are distributing this book to children through the Scholastic Book Club.
The name of the book is Conversations with God. James Dobson talked about this book twice last week. It is devastating. Parents, Churches and Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please share this information on these two particular book: Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch. They sound harmless enough by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best sellers list for a number of weeks, and they make truth of the statement, "You can't judge a book by its cover or title."
The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the "Voice of God". However, the "answers" that he gives are not Bible-based and go against the very infallible word of God. For instance (and I paraphrase), when a girl asks the question "Why am I a lesbian?" His answer is that she was 'born that way' because of genetics (just as you were born right-handed, with brown eyes, etc.). Then he tells her to go out and "celebrate" her differences.
Another girls poses the question "I am living with my boyfriend. My parents say that I should marry him because I am living in sin. Should I marry him?" His reply is, "Who are you sinning against? Not me, because you have done nothing wrong."
Another question asks about God's forgiveness of sin. His reply "I do not forgive anyone because there is nothing to forgive. There is no such thing as right or wrong and that is what I have been trying to tell everyone, do not judge people. People have chosen to judge one another and this is wrong, because the rule is "'judge not lest ye be judged."
Not only are these books the false doctrine of the devil, but in some instances quote are (in error) the Word of God.
And the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
Our children are under attack. So I pray that you be sober and vigilant about teaching your children the Word of God, and guarding their exposure to worldly mediums, because our adversary, the devil, roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). We know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey.
Share this with every Believer you know. And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself.
If this is true (only because I have yet to witness this myself) we should be very aware. This is where parents need to start teaching their children about the Bible. We are living in a time where we truly need to have the spirit of discernment, therefore we will not be caught up in the chaos of the world. By knowing the Word of God and walking in victory is the only way we are going to survive.

This is so insightful. Goes to show us that every word that has God printed is not necessarily a message or messenger of God. We have to be watchful.

Hi YaVon,
Looks like a Jim Jones type of false religious leadership. So many young people will be led astray, so many gay and lesbians, will not find "the way." Simply against Christian Doctrine. But today? anybody does what they want in the name of God and his son.
I notice no one ever quotes the actual passages in the Bible against homos*xuality. It's man's will against a Higher power. One day we will all know the truth.
