Bible Peddlers came to my door today and I politely declined to entertain their vist. I can't help but wonder however, if it is wise to leave the house or is it bad mojo???

Take cover when the lightning comes. The only thing that could protect you now would be me or a Jar Head.

I didn't know people even went around selling Bibles anymore. If I were you, I'd get an inexpensive, easy to read version like the New Living Translation at a local bookstore. Those salespeople were probably selling a KJV which is part of public domain and comes out in many forms by numerous organizations, who often charge a huge amount for the copies.
Don't be superstitious. You have every right to refuse to entertain people who knock at your door. Besides, who knows whether they really were selling Bibles? Nowdays it is hard to tell and unsafe to let just anyone into your home.
God loves you. You don't ever have to buy or read a Bible if you don't want to. But let me tell you...that book is so full of treasure. When I read it I uncover diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Give it a try. Psalms is the very best book to read when you feel down and out or stressed. It has got me through many, many situations. Try it...you might like it!

Really, it's your choice to nspeak to the peddlers or not. Speaking to them doesn't make you a saint or have a place in heaven but knowing the word and maybe improving yourself. On the other hand, the peddlers might not be as faithful to God as you think. So don't think because a are bible peddlers and you refuse to entertain them then you have done something wrong. It your choice to do what ever you feel.

Depends--did they have any sort of i.d. verifying that they were "bible peddlers" or did they look suspicious as though they were looking at your home making plans to do you harm? Were they carrying live chickens and bones? Maybe muttering voodoo under their breath when you politely declined?
Define mojo--Christians don't believe in putting hexes on people to do them harm. Honestly.
Thanks for the points though

Why would you think it's bad to leave your house after they've come? I am a Christian and I don't like them either but that doesn't mean I mistrust them. Hey, how about if next time they come after they leave you pray for them! THAT"S good mojo.

They usually wind up 3 hours at my house and I nearly have them converted to Forgive Affirmed Spirit when they realize they needed to be somewhere a half hour ago. I think reasoning with eternal damnationists is possible over time. So I keep on trying. But yeah, it is possible they were casing your joint too. In the name of Jesus. yeah.

Having trouble making the connection--oh! you're thinking a lightening bolt sent by an irate god may strike you if you venture out after turning down the purveyors of his word? Isn't that a bit of hubris! What makes you think god is likely to be offended by anything you or I may do?

It is your God-given free choice to refuse a visit by Bible sellers. And it is perfectly safe to leave your house. Why are you so worried? Go well, and God Bless!

Common sense. No, thank you works for what you don't want. Mojo is superstition. Which has absolutely nothing to do with wisdom.

It's not bad mojo. I don't even think mojo exists.
