There is bad and good. The good is always all powerful and omniscient. The bad is not. Narnia represents the real bad and good in real life. <br /><br />If that is not a satisfactory answer, there is another. It is pure fiction, like "Through the Looking Glass", "The Wind in the Willows", "Alice in Wonderland", "The Wizard of Oz", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Winnie the Pooh", and "Calvin and Hobbes." The danger in this kind of writing would be if ti were passed off as literally true and people believed it as literally true. Then we would have cults around each. As it is ti si an entertaining means of teaching truth.Jameswilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483244887550163733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19432945.post-63209660172162355132009-08-28T15:02:47.123-07:002009-08-28T15:02:47.123-07:00Dear Mr. Wilson, I would like to ask you about you...Dear Mr. Wilson, I would like to ask you about your recommendation on the Narnia books. I have read several of the "Narnia" series books myself and a few to my children. While I have enjoyed these stories on many levels (face value and the underlying Christian messages) I often wonder about the use of "magic". Could you comment about this in light of scripture that tells us to stay away from "sorcery and witchcraft".Juli Andersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19432945.post-75602579858388665082009-07-10T11:48:48.932-07:002009-07-10T11:48:48.932-07:00We LOVE Narnia, Mr. Wilson!
