Banning movies part 2
Posted by admin on April 20th, 2008 filed in Faith, In Vane, RepentanceDeuteronomy 18:10-12 There must not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through fire, a diviner, a soothsayer, an enchanter , a sorcerer, a spell caster, a consulter of ghosts or spirits or necromancer. For whoever does these tings is detestable to Adonai because of the abominations Adonai your G-d is driving them out ahead of you.
Micah 5:12 I will cut off sorceries from your land you will no longer have soothsayers. I will cut off your carved images and standing-stones from among you; no longer will you worship what your own hands have made.
We can see in what Christians call Old Testament, that G-d does not like witchcraft at all. If you have knowledge of witchcraft you understand, they worship more then one g-d. I don’t think I need to go into a deep depth of explaining why G-d don’t like it. G-d is a Jealous G-d he tells us this, so of course he don’t want us giving our attention to other g-ds who are false.
In the New Testament we are also warned against practicing this stuff again. So now where does this leave us with movies. I honestly have to think it depends on the person. I have a girl friend who came out of witchcraft. I was the one who lead her to the L-rd, she can not watch Harry Potter or play Video games with this in it. Why because it is tempting to her, this would cause her to stumble. When she comes over I am careful with what games I am going to play because I do not want her to fall into sin because of something I have done.
Personally even with what I understand of the bible I do not have a problem with any of the movies that get blacklist often by fellow Christians unless it will cause someone to stumble. A couple of years ago, I only like a handle of shows, on of them was a show heavily based on witchcraft. Why did I like the show because even compared to some of the Christian shows that show I felt was more clean, and when it did things I serious disagreed with I knew they weren’t like minded. Yet their shows never used G-d name in vane and often time some of the other programs which would have been consider safe by some used G-d name in vane and taught it was okay to go against G-d’s word.
We all have to work out our faith, it is a personal thing between G-d and us. Would I stop watching, Yes I would gladly. I will not do something G-d tells me to stop, but as long as I don’t feel convicted in my spirit I will see nothing wrong with it.
It would be like if my husband wanted to go to Branson resorts and I wanted to go to Disney, I would probably want to let my husband go where he wants, or we’d have to come up with a compromise which works for both of us. With G-d there is no real compromising when I feel lead to change something. Yes G-d has compromised in the Old Testament and he does give us freedom to choose to follow but sometimes it best to just obey and not have consequentness later.
