THIS IS SERIOUS!! BEWARE OF THESE CHILDREN’S BOOKS
Oprah is pushing them. And Dr. James Dobson has been warning about them. This is scary that someone would be bold enough to write books from God’s point of view contrary to His Word. This is in direct opposition of all Bible believing faiths.
The name of these books are ‘Conversations with God’ & ‘’Conversations with God for Teens’. By Neal D. Walsh. Schools are distributing them through the Schoastic Book Club.
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. Sickening!! The statement, “Don’t judge a book by its cover or title.” Is very true with these!
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 and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children.
So If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you have neighborhood children whose parents you know, please take note of this information and pass it along!
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!
