Doves,
I
am sharing an email I recieved today to bring your attention to a
dangerous book attacking our children being promoted by Oprah:
Beware of this book! SERIOUS!!
Beware
of this book! "Oprah" is pushing it. It is scary that someone would be
bold enough to write a book from God's point of view contrary to His
Word. Please send to all with kids or grandkids. This is in opposition
of all faiths. Please counteract the power of Oprah on this one. Send
this to all of your contacts!
If you have children or
grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood
children whose parents you know, please take note of the information
below and pass it along to others. 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 this week. It is devastating. Parents, churches and
Christian schools need to be aware of it. Please pass this information
on to church/e-mail addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles,
Cousins, friends..
Two particular books are,
'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, "Don'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
girl 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 (in error) the Word
of God.
And
the list goes on. These books (and others like it) are being sold to
school children 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.
Pass this on to every Believer you know. God bless! And, if you are in doubt, check out the books yourself.
End.
