  • Many conservative Christians have asked this question, "What's the difference between Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter?" Bill Schnoebelen, a former Warlock and Satanist, shares about what the books intend to teach their audience, and who does the audience want to be like.

    It's actually a lot simpler if one reads the history of middle earth as shown in the Silmarillion. Gandalf is an angelic messenger sent by what is basically an archangel to help guide middle earth out of darkness. His power is literally from the creator. While Sauron and Gandalf are even the same race, Sauron has taken is gifts of power for evil, much like Satan, and Gandalf has not, and remained a faithful messenger.

    LOTR is allegorical for the most part. I don't think people use LOTR as their textbook to magic, but rather see it as portrayal of the battle between good and evil. I do.
    Black magic exists, and it's something one ought to keep away from. Scary stuff. 😶

      With all due respect, you are wrong, my friend. You are missing some very basic, important literary devices here. This is, unfortunately, the problem with Protestantism; you do not seem to understand or recognise allegory.
      The elves are intended to be literary symbols for the angelic world, whilst the orcs are supposed to be demons. Remember, demons are fallen angels. In Tolkien’s world, much like angels, the elves are eternal and were created. The orcs, on the other hand, are supposed to be a mockery of the elves, as they were deliberately moulded by evil powers.
      Of course, you guys would know this if you bothered to read the apostolic fathers and the fathers of the early church. But you all strangely believe that Christianity began with the ugly and deeply heretical Protestant Reformation.
      Galadriel is supposed to be a representation of the Ever Virgin Mary, the Theotokos; her Greek title, meaning “Mother of God” (you know, Greek…the earliest Christian liturgical language next to Aramaic?). But since you guys hate and despise our Lord’s mother so much you seem to completely miss that as well.
      And before you even say it, no, I am not a Roman Catholic, either. I am Orthodox. That, too is a Greek word, meaning “correct belief”.

    Also, an oft-overlooked fact is that LOTR is meant to be set in the real world, in the ancient past. And Narnia featured what was then present-day England, which is where the main characters are from.

    • @403902
      @403902 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Just to clarify:
      "Wizard" is not, strictly speaking (writing), synonomous with sorcerer. In Tolkien's writings the wizards only do what God enables them to do and are wise men (the more literal meaning of the word) and are more like angels within LOTR. They do not use magic in the sense that Saruman does when he falls to Sauron's temptation.
      J.K. Rowlings works are not as semantically discerning as Tolkien's and her wizards do use magic, in just about any sense common to English.
      So there is a big difference in LOTR between wizards and magic-users that is not present in contemporary English.

      It seems you think magic and witchcraft are synonmyms but a look at the definition and its historical use may help clarify:
      magic (n.)
      late 14c., magike, "art of influencing or predicting events and producing marvels using hidden natural forces," also "supernatural art," especially the art of controlling the actions of spiritual or superhuman beings; from Old French magique "magic; magical," from Late Latin magice "sorcery, magic," from Greek magike (presumably with tekhnē "art"), fem. of magikos "magical," from magos "one of the members of the learned and priestly class," from Old Persian magush, which is possibly from PIE root *magh- "to be able, have power."
      The transferred sense of "legerdemain, optical illusion, etc." is from 1811. It displaced Old English wiccecræft (see witch); also drycræft, from dry "magician," from Irish drui "priest, magician" (see Druid). Natural magic in the Middle Ages was that which did not involve the agency of personal spirits; it was considered more or less legitimate, not sinful, and involved much that would be explained scientifically as the manipulation of natural forces.
      www.etymonline.com/word/magic#etymonline_v_2180
      www.etymonline.com/columns/post/sources?
      So Gandalf used magic, yes - but not witchcraft. Indeed, thaumaturgy (from greek, meaning miracle working) is essentially magic, but may or may not be witchcraft. "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft" (1 Samuel 15:23) in Hebrew "כ" "as" is an equator, so rebellion is either equivalent to or near enough witchcraft - the difference is typically the use of spirits or one's own power (however defined) and against God's will. Magick includes miraculous events in line with God's will, but a discerning Christian ought to understand that it is God whose power is brought to bear and not our own (as indeed whatever power, if any, a man possesses is still from the one source of all things, God).
      So Tolkein, an English professor, uses the term literally and few of us today do: to call the Apostles, for instance, magicians is wrong but only because the word itself is so misused in this era that to do so would give the wrong impression - but they were wise and applied knowledge of the workings of nature, in their case the knowledge that Jesus is the Messiah, God come in the flesh, and that through our faith in Him He grants us healing and freedom from sin's slavery and the penalties thereof, salvation (knowledge which is unfortunately hidden for far too many) - clearly not witchcraft, but magic in a very literal sense.
      I don't think you're wrong, only that you misunderstand the terms (through no fault of your own but because society cares so little about truth and meaning that it is willing to make anything mean anything).
      God bless you brother, I pray you see clearly what I mean. May God grant us all greater insight and understanding as we continue to seek His face and to do His will, may all glory and praise be unto Him forever.
      (Edit for typos)
      Another edit: in LOTR, Gandalf practices natural magic; not manipulating forces or beings but using what gifts he has been given to combat wickedness - Saruman, by contrast, used his knowledge and the irrevocable gifts of God for his own selfish and evil reasons (like Balaam). The novels are fiction and fantasy, but they are anything but pro-witchcraft.

      Well, Tolkein and Lewis certainly - Rowling is almost certainly a Rosicrucian (just look up her statements on Tarot cards and divination): so only Christian in the sense that she believes in a Christ (and not necessarily in that she believes that Jesus is the Christ), though she apparently attends church sometimes so there's hope she learns the Truth.
