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.
Two particular books are, Conversations with God and Conversations with God for Teens, written by Neale D. Walsch.
Sound harmless by their titles alone. The books have been on the New York Times best-sellers list for a number of weeks. But, beware.
The author purports to answer various questions asked by kids using the 'voice of God'.
However, the 'answers' given 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 girls 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 through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware.
Pass this information to your dear ones, friends and relatives.
