NOT a Movie for THE TRUE FOLLOWER OF JESUS to SEE -
OR
FOR ANY CHRISTIAN TO CAST THEIR EYES UPON!
If you see that movie it will take you a VERY LONG time to get it OUT OF YOUR SPIRIT. I assure you! It is sick - sick - sick.
IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE, OR HAVE READ THE BOOKS - you know what I am talking about.
I heard a long interview with the director and producer this morning. Which frankly made me quite ill. It is only rated pg13 and should be R at the least!
The very premise of this movie is SICK and makes me want to vomit!
We as Americans are out raged at the thought of African children fighting for their homes and lives IN REAL LIFE and YET we will watch a glorified tale of children 12 - 18 fighting to the death....full of blood and death! CHILDREN. And yet we as a society have NO PROBLEM with this?
And the director/producer when asked said pg13 was the appropriate rating BECAUSE "The movie, although bloody and violent like the 3 books, is not AS VIOLENT as the books." The producer went on to say that if you don't like violence then don't go.
BUT HOW MANY people/parents HONESTLY know what this book, movie is really about? and will even KNOW their child is going?
WE as a human race are supposed to be GROWING AWAY FROM THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR - or so I thought. Yet we are now cheering it on and TRAINING UP OUR CHILDREN TO love AND adore THIS BEHAVIOR IN OUR wide screen surround sound?
WHAT? Are we SO FICKLE that the witch craft of Harry Potter and Twilight Saga - Vampire Saga - Sex in the Cities just isn't cutting it?
Or is it that we as a society have reached that extra level of de-sensitivity? Where NOTHING bothers us. We have become like junkies to perverse sinful pleasures and so used to hearing gross, outrageous news that it races through our minds in and out our ears like water off a ducks back.
Be all this as it may - heart breaking as it is - WE, THE BODY OF CHRIST- GOD'S PEOPLE - Do NOT have to be party to this type of living/thinking.
Jesus tells us -
"Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. " (Taken from Luke 11:33-36)
So I implore you my precious brothers and sisters in the Lord DO NOT pollute your spirit!!!! Especially at this tender time!! The enemy will most certainly use it.....against you!
Shalom - Matthew 24
