Just had a good conversation with a great friend of mine. It brought up
a question. Is it OK for a Christian to read and enjoy stories about
sorcery, or ficitonalized stories of Jesus? If my faith is strong would
God approve of my enjoying such stories as The DaVinci Code? Harry
Potter? Well, what about Star Wars?
Malachi 3:5
"Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift
witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against
those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner
in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the
alien and do not fear Me," says the LORD of hosts.
Revelation 21:8
" But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and
immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part
will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the
second death."
But, I would not be practicing sorcery, I'd just be reading about it and
reveling in the excitement of the story. Is it a sin to enjoy sin
vicariously?
If I read pornography but don't actually cheat on my wife, is that a
sin? Is that the same thing?
