Larry King, host of Larry King
Live, asked Jerry
B. Jenkins his opinion of the
Harry Potter
books in an interview aired June 19, 2000:
KING: Do you like the "Potter"
books?
JENKINS: They're incredibly written
books. I had looked at them a little bit askance just because of my belief
system. But there's no question that -- talk about a great read. And what a
following. It's amazing. [1]
Jerry
B.
Jenkins had favorable things to say about the
Harry Potter
books! His one slightly negative comment does not remedy his endorsement
of witchcraft manuals disguised as pure fantasy.
This was a perfect opportunity for Jerry
Jenkins to honor God and influence many
people for good by stating that people should avoid the
Harry Potter
series because they promote demonic skills and a New-World-Order-correct
worldview in the guise of fantasy. Instead, Jerry
said these books are a great read!
What is particularly disturbing is that Jerry
admires the fact that Rowlings has such a large following. May God deliver her
following out of the kingdom of darkness and into the kingdom of God's dear Son!
(See Col. 1:13)
Update on
Jenkins and Harry
Potter
Jerry
B. Jenkins
was asked this serious question on December 12, 2002 on the Left Behind Message
Board in the thread called Mr. LaHaye or Mr. Jenkins
*.*:
Mr
Jenkins, do you think Christians should avoid
Harry Potter
(not children but responsible people who understand fact from fiction)?
Jerry
B. Jenkins'
response: No
Spiritism in any form is an
abomination to the God of the Holy Bible. He forbids dark practices that come
from secret knowledge. These practices enable one to have fellowship with Satan
and his demons who are the enemies of God and the enemies of God's
people. Jerry B.
Jenkins has no problem with occultism in the
form of Harry
Potter.
This is consistent with the fact
that he placed occult markings into the storyline of the
Left Behind
Series. Christian, you are being conditioned to think the Holy God of the
Bible will look the other way while His people commit spiritual adultery. He
will not. He will send strong delusion for them to believe the lie when that
Wicked is revealed. (See 2 Thessalonians chapter 2)
In spite of the Left Behind
authors' repeated attempts to deceive the reader into thinking that if he
believes "that Wicked" is God and worships him that he can still be saved later
this will never happen. Whoever believes that Wicked is God will receive
damnation because God himself will see to it. God will not always strive with
man, and once man has crossed the line into worshipping the beast, he will be
irreversibly damned.
Beverly LaHaye's CWA Site Sells
Books That Says Harry
Potter Can Help Advance the Kingdom of God
The Concerned Women For America
ministry, founded by Tim LaHaye's wife, Beverly, sells books that send the
message that the Harry
Potter phenomenon can advance the kingdom of
God:
In What's A Christian To Do
With Harry
Potter? [2] you’ll explore the valid concerns some
Christians have about the series, sort out the fact and fiction at the
center of the debate, discover biblical answers that may surprise you, and
learn how you can tap into this powerful cultural phenomenon to help advance
the kingdom of God.
Seattle Times had this to say of
What's a Christian To Do With Harry
Potter:
"Connie Neal, a Christian from
Sacramento, Calif., who once feared the Harry
Potter phenomenon . . .has since become
its best-known evangelical proponent" [3]
The
Harry Potter books contain real, black
magick satanism, and even include human sacrifice.[4] It is revealing that
Beverly Lahaye's ministry is selling books by a woman who promotes
witchcraft training manuals--the Harry
Potter books. (This goes right along with
what I have been stating is the fundamental goal of the Left Behind Series: to
condition Christians to merge with Satan's manifest kingdom on earth--the New
World Order-- and believe they can do this without forfeiting their souls.)
It is disturbing that Connie
Neal's countering-Harry-Potter-critics
book entitled The Gospel According to Harry
Potter [5] is also sold on the CWA
website. I noticed that occult imagery — the thunderbolt — is is on the cover of
Connie Neal's book. [The lightening bolt symbol also marks the original In Plane
Site DVD that was produced by the Power Hour.]
Publisher's Weekly remark about
the The Gospel According to Harry
Potter, sheds light on their
syncretist
views:
"Still, Christian fans of
Harry will be glad that someone is
countering the critics, and Neal's earnest writing may win both Rowling and
the Gospels a few new readers." [6]
Why would the organization founded
by Beverly LaHaye sell books that counter Christian opposition to
Harry Potter
and possibly win Rowlings more readers? Remember,
Jerry B.
Jenkins admired Rowlings' following, calling it "amazing." It makes sense
that Beverly LaHaye's CWA organization is cooperating with this agenda and
selling books that counter Harry
Potter critics and help Rowlings gain more
readers.
Let's face it. The point of books
of this nature is to give Christians excuses not to repent of sin. It
deceives them into feeling secure in their spiritual adultery and preps them to
fall completely away from the Christian faith and come under the strong delusion
to believe the lie. If God's people believe fellowshipping with devils in any
form can be used to advance the kingdom of God, then they are literally being
set up to believe that Wicked (antichrist) is God.
The statement: "...learn how you
can tap into this powerful cultural phenomenon to help advance the kingdom of
God" is sending the message that Christians should read the
Harry Potter
books so they can learn how to advance the kingdom of God.
This is deliberately mixing up
what is of God and what is of Satan which is exactly what the Left Behind
series does. The god of the Harry
Potter series is Satan, just as the god of
the Left Behind Series is Satan.
Removing Links to Protect the
Guilty
Note: Within minutes of posting
this article to my website, the link named "What's a Christian To Do With
Harry Potter?"
at the CWA website was renamed. I found it again and fixed the link. If you find
the link not working again, go to http://www.cwfa.org/main.asp and scroll down
to shop CWA and click author and type in "Connie Neal." Then you will find the
page unless they remove it entirely. I have saved the pages to prove they are
selling these books.
The link that proves
Jerry's statements on the Larry King Live
Show was mysteriously removed too. update: 7/12/03: The link I cited originally
was removed, but now the quotes are online at CNN.com. At least for the
present.
