Conversations with God (?)

Below is an email I received and decided to share with everyone since it is important. I tried watching this movie a long time ago thinking it was good to see...but shortly into the movie, my wife and I stopped it and returned it to the movie store. Check this out...

Subject: Beware of this book!

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit withinme !! Psalm 51:10 
  

Beware of this book!

If you have children or grandchildren, work with children at church, or you 
have n eighborhood 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 Conversation s with God.. James 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 addressees, 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 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 
schoolchildren through (The Scholastic Book Club), and we need to be aware of what is being fed to our children. 

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! And, if you are in 
doubt, check out the books yourself.
