Why does it have to point to Satan to be healthy imaginitive fun? Could one instead encourage their children to emulate a young David taking on Goliath or Noah building an ark? It amazes me that an occult-steeped non-reality is seen as imaginitive and that a prayer for salvation (for either yourself or others) is seen as dull.

Good works = so what. Works don't get you in. The battle is spiritual.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (..maybe false teachers purporting that evil practices condemned in the Bible are harmless).

Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

Obviously occult. Deuteronomy 18:9 - 12. It doesn't matter if he is a child witch or a good witch any more than it would matter if he was a child mass murderer or a good mass murderer. funny how we like to view the sins against God as trivial, but it someone is not tolerant of us or our opinion..we strike back a little harder. witchcraft doesn't impact us as immediately as someone stealing our Visa card, but the worship and devotion to one other than God - we hardly notice it. I believe this reveals more about the sad state of our church than we would like to admit.
