The books are great! Loved both. Went to the second LOTR movie and made a mistake, bought a giant soda and boy when the movie was over I ran to the bathroom

Yes, well the entire narrative is about the battle of "good" vs evil, so people tend to assume that there are Christian themes behind the work. But that is only a surface reading. Luciferians regard Lucifer as a good god, a benevolent god who is trying to deliver mankind from the oppressive tyranny of Adonai, the god of the Christians, whom they liken to an evil god. Hence they equate our God with Satan. So it's more complex than what appears on the surface.
You'd have to dig deeper than just surface articles to find good info on it, Josho. Very few know what I am telling you about.
But it's not that big a deal to me who watches LOTR, frankly. For most unfamiliar with occultism, it's just a fantasy movie. For some it may peak a curiosity in occultism and magic, so the argument can be made that it is more than mere entertainment. The same would go for Harry Potter. I've had a curiously with all things supernatural since almost birth it would seem, but I also have a good heart, so I turned from having an interest in evil to pursuing the good, and pursuing God. I would think the same is true of all those whose hearts are similar.

What do Satanists have to do with what? Halloween? Information has already been provided for you on this thread concerning that. Why did you post a thread asking for opinions on an issue, and then turn around and ignore our responses?

Halloween started as a Satanic festival known as Samhain "pronounced Soween"
and the rest is history.
Thinking Halloween is fine because it's watered down is wrong because you can't remove it from what it is at the core. You can't take an unclean thing and make it clean. Job14:4
As for the other two H's, once again it's a matter of discernment and Spiritual maturity. Spiritually mature people have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:14

You need to realize that there is always an excuse that something is not Satanic or harmfull when dealing with something of Satan.
It's just innocent fun.
It started in the garden at the temptation.
The serpent got Adam and Eve to question if they would surely die from disobeying God just as Satan tries to get us to question if something is really evil when trying to tempt us into his device's.
There are similar excuses for eveything evil
They say white magic isn't as bad
That parady ritual isn't potent
I heard a while back some fans of a satanic band made the excuse that the band wasn't satanic because the members themselves weren't claiming to be satanists themselves even though it was a satanic themed band.
So where does that leave you with these three h's?

Anyway, besides the 3 Hs, a lot of movies, video games have some magical themes these days, even including some DC and Marvel movies, some of them are based on real beliefs and practices, some of them made up.
Then there's violence, a lot of stuff has a certain level of violence too.
The question I would like to ask here, is where does the line get drawn though?
And then we even have some people here who don't like Christian TV, and will distance themselves from Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, Hillsong, Bill Johnson, Jimmy Swaggart, Sid Roth, Creflo Dollar, Kenneth Hagan, and anything else that might be shown on a Christian channel.
It's not unheard of a few Christians putting away their TVs.

I'm persuaded that if the majority of folk identifying as Christians saw the ramifications of the stuff you mentioned they would probably reject the revelation to themselves. As it stands, most do not see. Would you consider yourself one of those Josho?
This is an interesting point. There is life and danger in everything.
The aesthetic life says you have to avoid it all to live a pure life.
The Kingdom life says you need to transcend the world through the love Jesus gives us in our lives and our communion with Him and His body.
Everything can be a problem or coped and answered appropriately.
So when we bring Jesus into every situation and let the Holy Spirit minister to our hearts, everything becomes a lot more obvious.
God bless you

The three H's listed (at least some horror movies) have to do with the occult. We've been so conditioned to accept elements of the occult, but it is not child's play, and anyone who partakes is playing with fire.
It would appear that Halloween is a Christian holiday actually. If you read the wiki:
"Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of Hallows' Even or Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween,[6] All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve,[8] is a celebration observed in many countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. It begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed."
It's to remember the dead saints, martyrs and faithful departed. Information on the subject I find interesting.

Greetings, Devin.
I read that as well, but if you read the very next sentence in the wiki, it states that many believe it was actually merely a Christianized version of a pagan festival called Samhain, which I believe TLHKAJ referred to earlier, and also Teamventure. It incorporates some of the same practices that we still have today such as "mumming and guising" (i.e. trick or treat), as well as practicing divination and appeasing the spirits of the dead (see under Historic Customs).

That is surface history and more recent. You need to look further back or maybe read more of this thread as a couple of us have already posted the pagan origins of the festival.
All awesome! I got to get Spirit Halloween store Monday, I loved it. Got two syringe pens and had a blast. I love Halloween! I put on old Abbott and Castello movies on Halloween night.
Did you get sorted yet? I got sorted into Gryffindor and my patronus is a hedgehog
I'm a Hufflepuff and wow,.. I hardly recognize you on this forum compared to our other one. Lol

Also, I see a bunch of younger members on here not taking into account the instruction of older members.
Paul in a letter to Timothy instructs young believers to listen to their elders.

Weighing in the wisdom of an elder and letting them "boss you around" as you put it are not the same thing.
Btw your statement sounds rebellious.

You started a thread here asking for peoples opinions and when they gave it to you, you threw it out without weighing it in first. That is the difference.
There is a reason older believers have come to these conclusions concerning these things the Holy Spirit teaches those who walk with him.
Mature believers have learned how to discern good vs. evil. It would be wise to weigh in the wisdom of your elders.
