Title: BEWARE
Post by: HisDaughter on October 15, 2008, 08:51:37 AM
BE ON YOUR GUARD...

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 addressees, 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 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 a nyone 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 t his 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 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.  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.

In an interview with Larry King, Walsch described the inception of the books as follows: at a low period in his life, Walsch wrote an angry letter to God asking questions about why his life wasn't working. After writing down all of his questions, he heard a voice over his right shoulder say: "Do you really want an answer to all these questions or are you just venting?" Though when he turned around he saw no one there, Walsch felt answers to his questions filling his mind and decided to write them down. The ensuing dialogue became the "Conversations with God" books. However, in the interview with Larry King, Walsch freely admitted that he couldn't be sure that it was God speaking  and that the books could have been the product of his own subconscious, but he stated that he truly believed it to be the voice of God speaking to him.

(Poster's note: We know that Satan can't hear our thoughts but he can look over our shoulder)

Satan can also speak to the minds of those that will listen.

These teachings are those of what is referred to as the "New Age". Unfortunately many will fall from listening to this aberrational teaching. It is indeed a very sad situation that people don't listen to the Bible instead of their own personal sinful desires.

Exactly.  And that's what I meant by Satan looking over our shoulder.  That was my thought when I read his comments.  He looked over this man's shoulder, saw what he was reading and doing and put suggestions into the mind.
