in fear of becoming like the pharisees, please consider my book for its main points and not its sub-sub-sub-sub-minor-sub-points.

I understand your point by that comment, but that is not an apt analogy in this context. Pharisees were concerned with following the letter of the law to gain power and glory in the eyes of men. I am concerned with what God, through his word, explicitly teaches is a sin, and I do not care how I appear in the eyes of men. For me to ignore a minor use of supernatural/magical/demonic power by the protagonists portrayed in a this-is-not-a-sin way because the other parts of a book are good, would be nearly equivalent to me ignoring a minor use of explicit sexual scenes.

Paul said food offered to idols is nothing. Even though idol worship is evil. He also said he would forgo eating meat altogether if it meant saving lives for Christ.

What do you mean by this?

I don’t know if my answers meets your high standards of whatever it is you are looking for in this.

For the record, I don’t have high standards, I have bible standards. Trust me, there are many fantasy books I really want to read, but that have clear use of gods and supernatural power.

But all I am asking for is for beta readers. If you do not wish to read it, I understand and appreciate your candor. If so, I would love to hear your thoughts on my book. But I cannot answer any further inquiries into detailed minutiae on minuscule details of my book from what I have already explained.

Got it, sorry if I came off too curt. 🙂 I’ll let you know if I get the time to read your manuscript.
