If you look for something hard enough you will find it, for me when I go to the movies I try and look beyond the simply…Blessing

I think this movie issue is reflective of many decisions we face as Christians. Matt 7:13-14 reminds us that the gate is small and the road is narrow.. that is the road/journey to life. It is easy to get off the road and I believe that many things we want to accept.. movies, videos and so on.. can easily be used by the demonic realm to get us off the narrow road. We need wisdom and discernment in all things, but the bible tells us that God’s people do perish for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

Why do we take it in a negative way, it’s only a call for peace against fighting in a creative vision. What’s wrong with that? Is it against good to create a new world and being creative? Everything around us is new. We have on earth many religions that are different than Christianity and there are a lot of movies about them so why this one? What about the Matrix and Terminator? They are all talking about different life but it’s only a different vision. I see them all a call for peace but in a unique expressive way.

Lets be honest here: there is hardly a secular movie these days that is not ungodly. From the f-word to nudity to satanic ideas (harry potter for example is a movie about witchcraft, for crying out loud!), I think ALL secular movies these days are in one way or another, opposed to Godly values. The question is what we should do as Christians. We can either refuse to watch anything at all (which is possible but somewhat extreme), or we could watch whatever (Like Pastor Howard just said) does not offend our spirits and the Spirit of God, and be very careful with what we allow to take root in our minds. Like the Bible says, Guard your heart jealously.

I thought Avatar boosted my connection with God. May be reading and being a fan of CS Lewis and Tolkien has enabled me to see Christ in these type of fantasy movies. God is so much bigger than the medium and wanting to speak with us in so many different ways. The story has so many parallels to the the way our true God works. He let the greedy destroyers choose the saviour. He showed His favor with signs to the one who would save them. Those the saviour was sent to rejected him. The saviour persisted till his job was done. God contributed to the mix. I came away with a sense that humanity is searching for God and needs a saviour, but i guess i think different. The idea that our consciousness will be transferred to a redeemed body – that we are only a seed of now – is core to the apostle Pauls teaching. We are going to enjoy a better life in a better body in a better place. These were all ideas i thought the movie put across – that is if we were looking…

I watched Avatar and honestly didn’t really gain a deeper meaning at the time from the film, though I think I just wanted to switch off and enjoy the visuals for what they were, brilliant!
But then when I now think about it, unconsciously I was feeding on this underlying message which was ultimately contradicting my true christian beliefs. Though I couldnt see myself walking out half way through it because I didnt agree with its message.
But when it comes to supernatural type films etc, or like the TV show, I can’t watch a single episode because it something dosen’t agree with me or God’s Spirit in me. I think thats a scary subject to dable in and probably not the wisest, imo.
Cheers

I know that in Avatar they were mining and not offshore drilling like our current disaster in the gulf, but the analogy is the same.
