If You Ban One Book Why Not Another?
People are going to court over the banning of Harry Potter books. If they chose to ban those books based on so-called religious reasons, than what is stopping them from banning such books as The Color Purple for its depiction of sexual abuse, and Peter pan for its promotion of children running away? There are thousands of wonderful books that deal with magic and fantasy that allow children to expand there imaginations. Should there be grade level restrictions in public schools for certain books that do contain more questionable contents? Wouldn’t that be better than saying that no children are ever allowed to read these books in school, despite the moral lessons and wonderful literature values these works contain?
Do You Think The World Is Ready For Another Harry Potter Like Series?
Or should I wait till her last book has been out for a while before I introduce mine. My series is about a magic school but different than Harry’s. It’s also got a very different story line then the one of Voldamort. It’s very different but has it’s suttle similarities as well. I think it will be the next big thing, if I can only find someone to publish it.
Would All These People Have Died If They Had Believed Jesus Was Just Another Magician Of That Day?
That all these men were tortured horribly and gave their lives for a magic trick? Would anyone do this for David Blaine?
Matthew suffered martyrdom in Ethopia, killed by a sword wound.
Mark died in Alexandria, Egypt, dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead.
Luke was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost.
John was boiled in a huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos where he wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation. The Apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as a bishop in modern Turkey. He died an old man, the only Apostle to die peacefully.
Peter,was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross, according to Church tradition, because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
James the Just, the leader of the Church in Jerusalem and brother of Jesus, was thrown down more than a hundred feet from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller’s club. This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
James the Greater, a son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the Church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman soldier who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael, was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed about our Lord in present day Turkey. He was whipped to death for his preaching in Armenia.
Thomas was speared and died on one of his missionary trips to establish the Church in India.
Jude, another brother of Jesus, was killed with arrows after refusing to deny his faith in Christ.
Matthias, the Apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and beheaded.
Barnabas, one of the group of seventy disciples, was stoned to death at Salonica.
Paul was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment which allowed him to write his many epistles to the Churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, from a large portion of the New Testament.
