Not at all. I would have to clarify that my thoughts on favorite movies are what have known as my favorite movies for my life with the exception of the last six months. I was saved six months ago. I really couldn't tell you what my favorite movies are now. lol. I wouldn't really recommend any of my former favorites. Movies that I have watched since being saved I have kept it pretty clean and actually I haven't watched many. I watched "Here Comes the Boom" I thought it was funny. Most of the time I block out the television. A member of my household started to watch the devils rejects a few months back and I requested that they turn it off because it just made me sick. In reality I probably shouldn't have answered the thread because I feel differently about a lot of things now. I was worried about music and I have come to the point of understanding what I can and can not listen to or shouldn't. It's the same with t.v. and movies, I'm finding out what offends the Spirit in me.
This is brilliantly put. So many Christians declare their freedom to watch what they like....live as they like and in fact, their lives are often not much different to the un-saved. How could this be? Why on earth would our almighty creator God want us to watch people being terrified, murdered, stalked, tortured and raped? Children dying, kidnapped....Plotting against one another to cause harm....where is the edification in that? Why would He want us to watch people living in immorality, denying God and then the nudity, the multiple sexual partners....the being unpleasant to one another.....the list is endless. When we are re born....we turn from these things and it ought to make us 'uncomfortable' to watch such stuff. After all, the Holy Spirit lives in us. Thank you for writing this, not popular I know but it is a blessing to read and one can hope it will convict and strengthen us all as we are 'fighting the good fight' endevouring to be 'Holy as I am Holy' . God Bless you and the more we do align ourselves under His authority, the clearer we hear from Him. This leads to less confusion and our way ahead is illuminated and we recieve the joy despite any challenging circumstances! God Bless you for standing tall for Him, He who gave all for you! We are not asked to do so very much in return are we? <><
