Aloha All,

Please refrain from sending off-topic, inappropriate, postings through the JRA

List. This group has 800 current subscribers from many various backgrounds. The

one thing we share in common is childhood arthritis.

If a message has absolutely nothing to do with arthritis, it is probably not

appropriate to be shared here.

Please think twice before including the members of this group in a mass mailing,

particularly if it contains subject matter that some may find offensive.

Thank You,

Georgina

Fw: Beware of This Book

BEWARE OF THIS BOOK

" Conversations with God "

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.. 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 addresses, Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins,

friends.

Please pay special attention not only to what your kids watch on TV, in

movie theaters, on the Internet, and the music they listen to, but also be

alert regarding the books they read.

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 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

schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of

what is being fed to our children.

The children of our nation 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 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.. And, if you are in doubt, check out

the books yourself.
