BEWARE OF
THE BOOK, “CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD”
By: Mark
Bass, Via Banner of Truth,
Dr.
James Dobson talked about this book twice this week. It is devastating and parents and Christian
schools need to be aware of this. Do pass
it on to church/e-mail addresses.
Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles:
Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV and
in movie theaters and the music they listen to but we must also be alert
regarding the books they read. Two
particular books, Conversations with God
and Conversations with God for Teens, written
by Neil D. Walsh sound harmless enough by their titles alone. These books have been on the New York Times
best sellers list for a number of weeks and makes truth of the statement,
“Don’t judge a book by its cover/title.”
The
author purports to answer various questions from kids using the “voice of
God.” However, the “answers” that he
gives are not biblically-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
blue 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.”
And the
list goes on. Not only are these books
the false doctrine of devils but in some instances even quote (in error) the
Word of God. These books (and others
like them) are being sold to school children (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’ll be sober and vigilant about teaching your kids the Word of God and
guarding their exposure to worldly mediums because the adversary, the devil,
roams about as roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. (I Peter 5:8)
And how many of us know that lions usually hunt for the slowest, and
weakest and YOUNGEST of its prey. I do.
