On Halloween my church would have Hallelujah Night. Kids would dress up as people from the Bible. We had music, face painting, games, food and treats. It was fun actually.
We had a kids thing and people dressed up as different themes like last year was character from your favorite book and 2 years ago we had heros. It was so fun
@@miraclegranderson6759I can't believe people seriously will send their child to a home not knowing where it is who the friend is or who the parents are
I was raised in a Christian home and I thank God that I was. As I have grown up I have learned the difference between the “religion” and the “relationship.”
I'm glad that I was able to grow up in a Christian home, read Harry Potter, celebrate Reformation day instead of Halloween, have a friend group that's Christian, etc. Learning what religion is supposed to be (True religion before God and the Father is to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to be in the world, not of it), and how personal our relationship with God is definitely the best part of growing up Christian tho.
Lmao I wish. Bro I need help I recently became Christian after growing up in a very atheist household. I’m 13 and struggling to believe and I have lots of doubt about god. It feels complicated and I try my hardest to be the best person I can and pray every day/red the Bible, but something is pushing me away. I feel Him in my head but not my heart. Pls pray for me ❤❤❤
@@Angeleyes12956Goodluck to you, the something pushing you away is trying to distant you away from God. They are making you get distracted, have faith. Trust in God! ❤
Christians homes were so fun to grow up in. And i feel like everyone has got their friends and begged their youth leader to take them to different places as a youth trip because your parents wouldn't take you and if you say no you are lying
My father is a pastor and he doesn't even let us watch movies, can't go out with friends, doesn't celebrate any festivals and asks us everyday if we prayed and read the Bible. He is very serious when it comes to spiritual things and I respect him.
I love that he has that lifestyle for himself starting to replace TV with the bible in my own life but I pray that hasn't given you or your siblings a negative view on God or Jesus
Yep. No Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (violence), no Pirates of the Caribbean (voodoo), no Halloween (instead Fall Festival at Church), etc...but when I was old enough to understand the Bible, now I get it. God requires Christians to lead a holy life AND that it's good for us. He loves us, and I will raise my children to obey God as well, to show Him that we love Him 💙
Were you able to watch Gravity Falls? My very conservative relatives never let their children watch Gravity Falls even though Gravity Falls shows the danger of trusting demons.
Yeah...no Harry Potter cuz magic but Cinderella, Wizard of Oz, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, etc was fine. No Power Rangers cuz violence but Lion King, Saturday morning cartoons (such as Batman...you know...punching and stuff), etc was fine. Make it make sense.
On Halloween my church would have Hallelujah Night. Kids would dress up as people from the Bible. We had music, face painting, games, food and treats. It was fun actually.
I was allowed to watch things with violence I just knew I couldn't recreate what I saw in those tv shows or else I wouldn't be allowed to watch them anymore
Oh shoot, frick, crap. Bro this is so relatable 😂 I wasn’t allowed to watch SpongeBob or stuff like that. I did get to watch Harry Potter though and I’m glad I did because it’s one of my favorites but everything else is on point
Me too my parents were chill about Harry Potter but I wasn’t allowed to watch most pbs kids shows such as Arthur because he didn’t get along with his sister and was disrespectful to his parents 😂. I’m grateful for a lot of the rules I had growing up now even if I don’t necessarily think I’ll enforce them on my children when I have them.
As a Christian, I can relate to most of these! Harry Potter was in this weird gray area between bad satanic stuff and fantasy fake magic. My mom didn't allow me and my sister to watch Harry Potter and Spongebob, although over time she loosened up on this rule. For some reason my mom let us watch adventure time though (she probably didn't know what it was so she just allowed it). Nowadays me and my sister are huge Spongebob fans! We celebrated halloween and we were allowed to watch Twilight but my sister had to take down her Edward Cullen posters when our aunt came over! Btw to all of my Christian friends, if you haven't watched Gravity Falls I highly recommend you do! Gravity Falls has a very important message, don't trust demons! Demons seem nice at first but they are deceiving you! Gravity Falls illustrates this perfectly!
Hi, Christian mom here. I never allowed my kids to watch SpongeBob or much of anything from Cartoon Network because it seemed like candy for the brain: provided nothing of value and would just cause rot. We've watched Gravity falls multiple times together. It's a good show. My oldest kids are 16 and 14.
As a Christian born in a christian home… this is true. Although my mom said I was allowed to watch Harry Potter but I had to read all the books first 😂
No electronics, games, tv, etc until we did our bible journaling. Every day especially after school. I recently got back into it - no kids- but i think this is a good parenting tool so kids can spend small time with God.
@wisegirl.loves.seaweedbrainI think the most important part of this is understanding that witchcraft is sinful and that Harry Potter is fictional, which you already seem to understand, so you and I can safely say that Harry Potter is not a sin as long as we don't practice witchcraft. ❤😊
I remember this funny scene from my childhood. Me and my brother were playing mario kart wii. He always won so one time, I threw a red shell at him just before he crossed the finish line. So I won for the first time😂. Out of anger, my brother called me an Indian bad word which means "stupid". I called him that too. Few minutes later, we both had chilli powder on our tongues placed by our mother😅 Little later, she fed us jaggery(sweet) and told us to not say it again. Ahh... fun times

We do pretty much all of these, except when when Mom caught us saying a 'bad word', she'd make us eat a tablespoon of vinegar. Also, Mom only didn't let us watch Spongebob because she thought it was stupid
My mom didn't let me and my sister watch SpongeBob because she thought he was too annoying and could cause brain development issues. Nowadays, me and my sister are big Spongebob fans! :D
Same! My mom didn't allow me and my sister to watch Spongebob and Harry Potter when we were little. My mom thought Spongebob was too colorful and annoying, she thought it would give us brain problems!
I am so sorry ! SpongeBob is amazing🌈 He is cute. He has a good work ethic, and he's a good friend. As for being too colorful, I don't know what that means. I cannot live in a vannilla world. I need CHOCOLATE ! CHOCOLATE ! CHOCOLATE ! 😂❤😊 I'm not afraid to admit it. I love Jesus and I watch SpongeBob. Don't watch the new ones though .They all suck.
I am a Catholic and my family used to sit and have Harry Potter movie marathons together many times. It's all fiction and I'm pretty sure they didn't think we were gullible enough to practise witchcraft in real life lmao 😂
This is so random but this is what I say instead of cussing (it works I’ve never cursed) crudglemcmudglemuffins (pronunciation: crud-jel-mc-mud-jel-muff-ins-) Also, I was allowed to read Harry Potter but my parents made it very clear that magic and witchcraft is NOT REAL.
On Halloween my church would have Hallelujah Night. Kids would dress up as people from the Bible. We had music, face painting, games, food and treats. It was fun actually.
Stay strong! As long as your children understand why Harry Potter is wrong and as long as they know the satanic parts are wrong then it's ok for them to watch it. My parents didn't let me and my sister watch it until we were older and knew that it was wrong. Same thing with Twilight!
Halloween is not with the teachings of the Bible it is opposed to the techie of the Bible. We as Christians we should follow what is written in the Bible the Bible says in 1 Peter 1:15but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,” let me ask id Halloween holy in how it is celebrated. Is putting up skeletons and caskets and ghosts and anything scary really show anything holy like God. Even though u might feel that there is nothing wrong as children if God their are some practices we should refrain from because they are of the world and God told us in Roman’s 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. “
Lol spongebob everyday for me as a 20 year old Christian. Halloween every year for me because its my favorite holiday lol. Never heard of that before but i love "thats freaking bologna" 😂❤
Ha? My family isn't like this lol 😂 even though they are very religious but one of their favorite movies are Harry Potter 🤣🤣 and Halloween is not even a problem for them 😂😂 cuz they don't believe in dark stuff
As a REAL Christian I do watch/read Harry Potter I do celebrate Halloween. I don’t watch anything horror, R, or MA. Christian means believe’s in Christ. Just because I do or don’t do these things doesn’t mean I’m not a Christian.
@@believerofChrist09there is nothing wrong with watching SpongeBob and I was raised in a Christian house my mom loves to watch Henry potter Henry potter is not bad unless it becomes a idle and leads you away from the lord
As long as you know that the satanic stuff of Harry Potter and all is wrong, then yeah! My mom didn't let me and my sister watch most of that stuff until we were older and knew better!
True! Except my household was based on Hebrew Roots, which was more religious than it was trying to have a relationship with God. TOO strict and when ANYTHING crossed the line that was deemed holy by God (only through my Nana), it was from the enemy. All the grandkids were extremely sheltered and lived in a bubble with my mom’s side of the family.
Being an Esperantisto, our made up cuss words were a bit out of the ordinary for most people but they were still so fitting. Fusku and Fuhesemedo are definitely my favorite ones now that I'm older. Oh yeah, and don't forget about the English favorite of Fudruckers!
My family was not Christian but my mother still wouldn’t let us watch SpongeBob because she thought if we watched it we would be dumb so far in my life I have only seen 1 episode of SpongeBob
I grew up only watching Christian channels it was what was allowed. The others were put on for news but otherwise we didn’t except on weekends when there kid’s shows. Cussing is still not a thing here in Uganda up until now so we were literally green. By the way it sounds crazy but I’ve just gotten to know more about the secular world after joining Uni
As a Christian, I was allowed to watch Harry Potter (the “witchcraft” is not actually demonic so it was fine) and SpongeBob, and my family always went trick-or-treating and had fun on Halloween (we just left out the “celebrating evil” part)
My mother was a choir director and Sunday school teacher and praise and worship leader....at church sunday Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday 😂😂😂😂 the good old days. I miss it.
I wasn't raised on an Christian home, but as one of them, this is the true meaning (some examples) of what denying ourselves really mean. You just can't live the same way as others live 🥲
Crazy how many levels/types of Christian homes there are in America. Some things are across the board true for all the kids but comparing a fundamental and mega church kid’s experience is so different.
I was raised atheist for 15 years until making a huge leap to read the Gospels and examine them seriously. Nevertheless, my Christian journey began a year ago now, and I'm soon to be baptised into the Roman Catholic Church. However, I envy all of you who were born and raised Christian. When my parents found out, it was like I had joined a blood cult to them. My father chased me around the living room table, forcing me to denounce God and "repeat after me, it's bullshit! A fucking cult!" and to him I said, "he who denies me before men I will also deny before my father, who is in heaven." It got very heated, even threatening to beat me and "see where your god is then?" to which I simply countered, "do not fear the one who can harm your body, but fear the One who can destroy both body and soul in hell." Even to this day, I face false acceptance with your run-of-the-mill sky daddy and ridicule. This reminds me of when Jesus said- 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household." -Matthew 10:34-36
see, the halloween and cursing things i *kinda* get, but everything else is just dumb. harry potter and wizards of waverly place are literally made for kids. it’s not like your children are watching them learning actual spells on how to curse people😭
Why do you kinda get it? Are you Christian? Halloween is related to bad things like yknow witches,ghosts we are against that in Christianity, other than the Holy ghost, so yeah. Cursing is because the bible clearly states that cursing is a sin. Harry potter and WWP is about witchcraft, it doesn't matter if they aren't learning spells but it's literally about witchcraft. In the bible, it states that witchcraft is really bad. Christian parents don't want their children exposed to satanic or unholy things, so that's why.
God is holy and does not tolerate our sins. Our punishment for sin is death and an eternity in hell. To pay the price for our sins, God sent His Son Jesus, Who never sinned, to die on a cross in place of us. Jesus rose again three days later. Believe in your heart that Jesus lived a sinless life, died for your sins, and rose again! You will be forgiven of your sins and receive eternal life!
I always used to hear how great Harry Potter was but honestly I was never sad I couldn’t read or watch it. Even if I was allowed to I don’t think I would because it just doesn’t catch my eye. So it worked out perfectly!!!😊❤
But i am a Christian and i was raised in a perfect christian family, and i believe in God, but I am also a Potterhead(but it doesn't it's my idol, i am just a fan you know), i have read the books and i have watched the movies of Harry Potter and I love it.Actually Harry Potter can teach you many kind things, beacuse the main character Harry Potter is so nice and you can learn a lot of things from him as well.I just don't understand what's wrong with that.
@@sophiealexanyan you can watch Harry potters dude LOL i watch anime and horror films as a Christian, watching the show it’s self is not a sin. what is a sin tho? *doing* witch craft, there’s nothing wrong with watching it, since as Christian we *know* it’s real. Being lustful while watching a show. If ur watching a horror movie and someone is being killed, thinking “I wish I could do that to that person irl..” is sinful Shows and music can be *very* bad for some, since they can be tempting and or lead them to be sinful, which is why we should be *very* careful with what we watch/listen to. A lot of Christian’s think ur not allowed to listen to specific type of music, but honestly, as long as u listen to it by ur self, so no one else can hear and be tempted, and as long as u have self control, and it isn’t tempting you to do *any* sins, I really don’t see anything wrong with it.. I hate Harry potter, but if u like it man, that’s fine. As long as u aren’t *doing* witch craft I guess💀
Only reason I was allowed to read and watch Harry Potter was because we just saw it as a cool story and nothing more. Completely fake and fiction. I know it’s different for other homes though.

You guys forgot about a soapy mouth
The most attractive guy in your church /service / youth club was the one who could carry the most fold up chairs at once
Yessssss!!!!!!!!
Gosh, I thought I was the only one who wasn’t allowed to watch spongebob, glad to see someone else I can relate with!
Exactly!
Same! My mom didn't allow me and my sister to watch Spongebob and Harry Potter when we were little. My mom thought Spongebob was too colorful and annoying, she thought it would give us brain problems!
@@keagaming9837LOL SAME but now she doesnt care anymore and me and my sis never cared to watch it
I am so sorry !
SpongeBob is amazing🌈
He is cute. He has a good work ethic, and he's a good friend.
As for being too colorful, I don't know what that means.
I cannot live in a vannilla world.
I need CHOCOLATE ! CHOCOLATE ! CHOCOLATE !
😂❤😊
I'm not afraid to admit it. I love Jesus and I watch SpongeBob.
Don't watch the new ones though .They all suck.
@hummus1874 it's true spongebob is great.
I am a Catholic and my family used to sit and have Harry Potter movie marathons together many times. It's all fiction and I'm pretty sure they didn't think we were gullible enough to practise witchcraft in real life lmao 😂
This is so random but this is what I say instead of cussing (it works I’ve never cursed) crudglemcmudglemuffins (pronunciation: crud-jel-mc-mud-jel-muff-ins-)
Also, I was allowed to read Harry Potter but my parents made it very clear that magic and witchcraft is NOT REAL.
My 5 year old daughter has taken to saying "oh biscuits" 😂
This is very true 😂 don’t forget that in replace of SpongeBob was veggie tales and
“ YES you have to practice the music for the Easter play!”
MY PASTOR USED THIS EXACT SLIDE TEMPLATE THIS MORNING IM DYING BRO😭😭
I am christian and my mom let me watch Harry Potter
Same
Pretty accurate, but watching Thats So Raven and not spongebob is wild lol.
Ngl I never make up other words instead of cuss words when I hurt myself I just sit a screech in pain 😭
Fair enough, lol.
Same😂

As being raised in a Christian home, it is not this strict. We just didn’t cuss as much.
Agreed and don't forget to always honor and respect your parents❤
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
Heh, my family usually says "Fishpaws!" But I also say "Great blobs of goo!", " Bubbling Belovin!" And "Nitrogen monoxide!"
“Wake up. We’re going to church in 30 mins”
😂so real
The Halloween part is so reall
And I have never watched doctor strange as well
On Halloween my church would have Hallelujah Night. Kids would dress up as people from the Bible. We had music, face painting, games, food and treats. It was fun actually.
@@Hinatachan360 oh nicee
IK!😂
God bless you :) Greetings -FlockofChristos
I didn't celebrate Halloween BUT the day after, when the candy was 1/2 price, I could get whatever I wanted 😁
I wasn’t raised in one, but as a Christian now I wish I would’ve been. Things would’ve been so different..
I'm pleasantly surprised I'm not the only one :)
at 15 i was under the impression that “no homo” was short for “no homicide” like “ay chill, i won’t kill u bro”
I mean, considering the CDC reports of STD rates that is not false. :skull:
@@keagaming9837 LOL
I wasn’t raised in a Christian home but I am raising one alongside my husband right now and we are a lot like this.
Stay strong! As long as your children understand why Harry Potter is wrong and as long as they know the satanic parts are wrong then it's ok for them to watch it. My parents didn't let me and my sister watch it until we were older and knew that it was wrong. Same thing with Twilight!
Way to go Godly parents!❤
@@keagaming9837What was wrong with Twilight?
@@keagaming9837I post this comment so no one thinks I said your wrong. But what Is so wrong with Twilight?
I was allowed Harry Potter and magic and stuff, but still had to be careful
As a pastor’s daughter, I can confirm This is so true
God bless you :) Greetings -FlockofChristos
I was raised Christian and I’m forever grateful that my parents never let me watch SpongeBob or cartoon network😂
I wasn’t allowed to celebrate Halloween not even in the slightest way. And if the church celebrated it, we’d have to find a new church… 😅
Halloween is not with the teachings of the Bible it is opposed to the techie of the Bible. We as Christians we should follow what is written in the Bible the Bible says in 1 Peter 1:15but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,” let me ask id Halloween holy in how it is celebrated. Is putting up skeletons and caskets and ghosts and anything scary really show anything holy like God. Even though u might feel that there is nothing wrong as children if God their are some practices we should refrain from because they are of the world and God told us in Roman’s 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. “

LMAO MY FAVORITE IS WHEN MY MOM ALMOST SAID THE ‘F WORD’ BUT THEN CUT HERSELF OFF AND SAID “Ffffffruits of the Holy Spirit!”
you litterly named every thing that I have had and still have growing up in a Christian home
change the first word. Holy is for only God, not poop
@@SoldierofJesus_John316facts.
Please don't use that Holy which is solely for God to describe something disgusting.
Ok chill
Also it's an expression and it's not reserved for God.
Lol spongebob everyday for me as a 20 year old Christian. Halloween every year for me because its my favorite holiday lol.
Never heard of that before but i love "thats freaking bologna" 😂❤
Spongebob for life bro! Season one is my favorite
@@fireandiceproductionz7093 I watch him every day 😅
Me and my sister love Spongebob too! :D
Our mom didn't allow us to watch it for awhile but now we do and we love it! We did halloween too! :D
Preach brother 😭✋
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
Ha? My family isn't like this lol 😂 even though they are very religious but one of their favorite movies are Harry Potter 🤣🤣 and Halloween is not even a problem for them 😂😂 cuz they don't believe in dark stuff
As a REAL Christian I do watch/read Harry Potter I do celebrate Halloween. I don’t watch anything horror, R, or MA.
Christian means believe’s in Christ. Just because I do or don’t do these things doesn’t mean I’m not a Christian.
Amen! As long as you believe that Harry Potter satanic magic stuff is wrong then all is good! :D
@@keagaming9837 bro chill that's just a book
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
I’ve always went to church on Halloween! We couldn’t really trust anyone else. PRAISE GOD! 🙌✝️🙏
Is it okay that I grew up in a very Christian family and home but was allowed to watch and do everything you said that you couldn’t 😂😭
That's not okay because God told us not to watch that stuff
@@believerofChrist09there is nothing wrong with watching SpongeBob and I was raised in a Christian house my mom loves to watch Henry potter Henry potter is not bad unless it becomes a idle and leads you away from the lord
As long as you know that the satanic stuff of Harry Potter and all is wrong, then yeah! My mom didn't let me and my sister watch most of that stuff until we were older and knew better!
True! Except my household was based on Hebrew Roots, which was more religious than it was trying to have a relationship with God. TOO strict and when ANYTHING crossed the line that was deemed holy by God (only through my Nana), it was from the enemy. All the grandkids were extremely sheltered and lived in a bubble with my mom’s side of the family.
My favorite cuss word replacement is "crudmuffin"
ima use that now
@@sawako_l0vr lol
Being an Esperantisto, our made up cuss words were a bit out of the ordinary for most people but they were still so fitting. Fusku and Fuhesemedo are definitely my favorite ones now that I'm older. Oh yeah, and don't forget about the English favorite of Fudruckers!
My family was not Christian but my mother still wouldn’t let us watch SpongeBob because she thought if we watched it we would be dumb so far in my life I have only seen 1 episode of SpongeBob
Am a Christian and I pray every night amen
Amen!
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
On Halloween I wasn’t allowed to be outside not even on my lawn after school was over because my parents thought it was too dangerous
I been gratefuly born in a Christian home
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
I grew up only watching Christian channels it was what was allowed. The others were put on for news but otherwise we didn’t except on weekends when there kid’s shows. Cussing is still not a thing here in Uganda up until now so we were literally green. By the way it sounds crazy but I’ve just gotten to know more about the secular world after joining Uni
Yes. Very true. I’m only twelve but I can certainly say this is very very true.

No Harry Potter
Me and family that loves Harry Potter: 👁️👄👁️
As a Christian, I was allowed to watch Harry Potter (the “witchcraft” is not actually demonic so it was fine) and SpongeBob, and my family always went trick-or-treating and had fun on Halloween (we just left out the “celebrating evil” part)
Same but was not allowed to watch SpongeBob
@@haileytemple6833Sad
So true😂😂😂😂
Even Barbie was Forbidden 😂
My mother was a choir director and Sunday school teacher and praise and worship leader....at church sunday Monday Wednesday Friday Saturday 😂😂😂😂 the good old days. I miss it.
I am aloud to do all except for Halloween we just go trick or treating not celebrating the devil
I wasn't raised on an Christian home, but as one of them, this is the true meaning (some examples) of what denying ourselves really mean. You just can't live the same way as others live 🥲
So true!
All I have to do is say "I was raised by absolute wack jobs" and people usually understand
as a Christian this is straight up facts 101 of growing up Christian
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
“If you like to talk to tomatoes.”
It made me feel like we were special ♥️
Crazy how many levels/types of Christian homes there are in America. Some things are across the board true for all the kids but comparing a fundamental and mega church kid’s experience is so different.
Yes! So true ❤
My mom was so strict on “no Harry Potter” that my sister would go in a corner and was watching it secretly changing tabs when my mom came 🤣
facts - this is literally the most relatable thing ever 😂
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
As a person who grew up in a Christian home, we did none of these 😂
I would not no that was from "thats so raven" because I was not allowed to watch it because she was a psychic and thats witch craft lol 🤭
Is it really 😣 man that sucks it's my favorite show I guess I have to reconsider. Thanks for telling me that
@@probablyprin omg sry to spoil your favorite show 😢 but its the truth 😔
@@BlueJaden it's okay lol. Thanks for telling me now I'm more aware
@@probablyprin np🌼
Even tho Ironically Halloween is actually a Christian holiday, no one talks about it!!
I didn’t do any of theses, but I did pray with my family
I was raised atheist for 15 years until making a huge leap to read the Gospels and examine them seriously. Nevertheless, my Christian journey began a year ago now, and I'm soon to be baptised into the Roman Catholic Church.
However, I envy all of you who were born and raised Christian. When my parents found out, it was like I had joined a blood cult to them. My father chased me around the living room table, forcing me to denounce God and "repeat after me, it's bullshit! A fucking cult!" and to him I said, "he who denies me before men I will also deny before my father, who is in heaven."
It got very heated, even threatening to beat me and "see where your god is then?" to which I simply countered, "do not fear the one who can harm your body, but fear the One who can destroy both body and soul in hell."
Even to this day, I face false acceptance with your run-of-the-mill sky daddy and ridicule. This reminds me of when Jesus said-
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household."
-Matthew 10:34-36

No harry potter was fr the first thing that came to my mind 😂😂😂
see, the halloween and cursing things i *kinda* get, but everything else is just dumb. harry potter and wizards of waverly place are literally made for kids. it’s not like your children are watching them learning actual spells on how to curse people😭
Why do you kinda get it? Are you Christian? Halloween is related to bad things like yknow witches,ghosts we are against that in Christianity, other than the Holy ghost, so yeah. Cursing is because the bible clearly states that cursing is a sin.
Harry potter and WWP is about witchcraft, it doesn't matter if they aren't learning spells but it's literally about witchcraft. In the bible, it states that witchcraft is really bad. Christian parents don't want their children exposed to satanic or unholy things, so that's why.
Amen to having good godly discerning parents
God is good! -greetings from FlockofChristos
Im raised in a Christian home, but i got to read harry potter at 15:)
My “cuss words” are fudgeaduckles, glory be, and Sweet Baby Jesus🤣🤣🤣
Oh we had something similar to fudgeduckles! We had fudge and fudruckers. And don't forget about the top tier Fusku! Lol
God is holy and does not tolerate our sins. Our punishment for sin is death and an eternity in hell. To pay the price for our sins, God sent His Son Jesus, Who never sinned, to die on a cross in place of us. Jesus rose again three days later. Believe in your heart that Jesus lived a sinless life, died for your sins, and rose again! You will be forgiven of your sins and receive eternal life!
Thanks ❤
You helped me man!
I recently lost my grandfather to dementia and will be sharing over two thousand Christian poems of his as this was important to him 🙏😭
Sorry for your loss. You will see him again. ❤ I love poetry! Beautiful that he left you a legacy to carry on. Blessings ❤

I always used to hear how great Harry Potter was but honestly I was never sad I couldn’t read or watch it. Even if I was allowed to I don’t think I would because it just doesn’t catch my eye. So it worked out perfectly!!!😊❤
But i am a Christian and i was raised in a perfect christian family, and i believe in God, but I am also a Potterhead(but it doesn't it's my idol, i am just a fan you know), i have read the books and i have watched the movies of Harry Potter and I love it.Actually Harry Potter can teach you many kind things, beacuse the main character Harry Potter is so nice and you can learn a lot of things from him as well.I just don't understand what's wrong with that.
@@sophiealexanyan you can watch Harry potters dude LOL
i watch anime and horror films as a Christian, watching the show it’s self is not a sin. what is a sin tho?
*doing* witch craft, there’s nothing wrong with watching it, since as Christian we *know* it’s real.
Being lustful while watching a show.
If ur watching a horror movie and someone is being killed, thinking “I wish I could do that to that person irl..” is sinful
Shows and music can be *very* bad for some, since they can be tempting and or lead them to be sinful, which is why we should be *very* careful with what we watch/listen to. A lot of Christian’s think ur not allowed to listen to specific type of music, but honestly, as long as u listen to it by ur self, so no one else can hear and be tempted, and as long as u have self control, and it isn’t tempting you to do *any* sins, I really don’t see anything wrong with it..
I hate Harry potter, but if u like it man, that’s fine. As long as u aren’t *doing* witch craft I guess💀
As a christian, i can confirm this is scary accurate
Bless you in Jesus name -Greetings from FlockofChrist
Only reason I was allowed to read and watch Harry Potter was because we just saw it as a cool story and nothing more. Completely fake and fiction. I know it’s different for other homes though.
