I listen to your programs regularly. I have a couple of areas of concern about this program: Douglas Kelly's implication that the Catholic/Orthodox churches are Christian traditions seems to miss the fact that they obscure the Gospel and even preach a false Gospel. It is pretty evident that the Catholic/Orthodox churches fall under the Scriptural anathema: "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." Gal 1:8. One other concern is L.B. Graham's Binding of the Blade Series. I am sorry to say that before I obtained faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I was heavily into this fantasy type genre. The binding of the blades clearly replicates the worlds occult fantasy genre. Is this a suitable series for Christians to read? (I don't believe there is any Scriptural warrant). Consider the following statements from a review of the Blades Series: "Finding the boy will seal Malek's victory, and finding the legendary dragon is the only hope for Kirthanin." "He declares a prophecy: that only the union of four races will conquer the evil upon the land." How can a dragon be called the only hope for Kirthanin; is not the Lord Jesus Christ our only hope and Saviour, and our victorious conqueror over Satan and sin. "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." Eph 5:11. I hope you don't think I am being hostile, I just thought I should express some of my concerns. Thanks again for all of your valuable work contending for the faith. Mark Thanks for your continued work in edifying the saints and standing for the truth of God’s Word.
