If it is gay or cursing I will stop watching. I really recommend watching the Prince of Egypt! It's about Exodus! :D but some stuff isn't accurate from the Bible :/ but it's still good :D Also is it okay to watch Jurassic world? Like the dinosaurs? Bc I like animals a lot but I dunno about dinosaurs bc what if they're not real? I dunno I'm confused... :/
Edit: so while writing this I was trying to write off the evil done in the show as tolerable so long as it doesn’t get into your heart but it still has to be addressed as wrong and they never really do that so it’s for the best to part with the manga collection and the JJBA anime I don’t know where to start as of right now I’ve just put the mangas I’ve collected in a box in a storage shed while I evaluate it I deleted the comments because I don’t want to cause any sin and God seemed to tell me the comment will by recommending the show or manga so yeah 😅 I’m really sorry but I’ve evaluated the show and it’s not good and bad and I’m cutting it out of my life along with the other evil promoting anime but not the good ones obviously those can stay not ALL anime is bad (hopefully most of it is secular so it’s got a LOT of gray area 😅) but I will evaluate everything from now on
Hearing “I’m the Messiah, I’m MARVEL JESUS” in the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer really woke me up and convicted me. You can’t write them off as ‘just fiction’ when it’s wickedness, predictive programming and blasphemy!
@@NanaHoneyB Yeah Deadpool was never appropriate to begin with. I think people try to be ignorant and justify sinful things in movies because it's "just a movie", but they don't understand how dangerous the messages could be or the spiritual effects that come after watching it.
I love these videos because they have truly helped me become a better Christian. I’m 11 turning 12 and I’ve been watching these videos since I was 10! Keep posting ! I am 100% a visual learner so this is extremely helpful
I might be the biggest cinephile in my church. My greatest dream is to actively work in the cinema industry because I see movies as a reflection of life, storytelling is the way I express myself and films are my escapism. But I also understand that they can’t be the reason why I live. It’s just a dream of a possible work and career, but it won’t be my ticket to Heaven. It can be a medium to bring glory to God, but what Jesus values is my heart (like 1 Samuel 16 says). So thank you for this video, I needed to understand deeply what it means to be a Christian visual storyteller, I hope, if God says yes, to bring content that glorifies Him.
@@anoushforno I’m someone who wants to go into movies myself, to both make great films and to glorify God with them. I’ve been reading this book “Outside Hollywood” lately; I think it’s a great resource for Christians wanting to get into film production.
My rule of thumb is; If it totally blasphemes Jesus, and/or mocks Christians it gets shut off. If it's got cussing, or something else that offends my sensibilities, 3 strikes and you're out.
I agree, the only difference for me is if it's a history documentary then I'll let some stuff slide as it's showing what actually happened Schindler's List is so depressing
There are some anime movies and series I like that are appropriate, but when I hear cuss words, I didn't dare to use them thankfully. So I never used cuss words before (and I am honest) and I thank God for that he gave me a mouth to use my words carefully to speak. But if you guys don't want to hear cuss words in the movie, that is completely understandable and it's gonna be difficult though to avoid hearing them.
Rn i feel distant from god bc Theis this thought in my head from a demon and i hate it im scared of hell rn The thought is that Jesus was not mesiah and he was a prophet from god telling me that but ik Jesus was mesiah i just wanna get it out of my head im scared of hell
Honestly, I really like this guy. He seems like a genuinely good friend and a great soul. I truly appreciate the ministry and all the hard work he puts in. His approach is so talented and engaging-never dry or boring. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, brother!
i agree especially with point number 1. all (most) entertainment is neutral and neither good or evil. rather its the specific stuff in the entertainment that is good or evil. enjoy your entertainment to glorify God!

@@MartinNedergaardHansen Pray about it and rebuke it in Jesus name, we can know that Jesus was God because he says that "before Abraham was, I am" and he also says " if you have seen me you have seen the father" that may not have been it word for word but he implies that he is God in the flesh and that he is the son of God and that God is in him, God the father, Jesus, Holy Spirit they are three in one pray for dominion over your thoughts give your concerns to God and take captive every thought. God loves you and Jesus died for our sins so stay encouraged friend. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom but also love him and remember demons are nothing compared to him and in Christ we are more than conquerors
@@MartinNedergaardHansen don’t worry. The Devil will try anything to attack your mind. The word of God is your weapon and the enemy will have no choice but to flee. God forgives you for those intrusive thoughts. Remember some thoughts are not yours because we now have the mind of Christ. You are strong in Jesus Christ ☺️
My wife used to love horror films ....since she came to faith and received the holy spirit she has watched ....ZERO ....she says she just doesn't want too anymore ....jesus has changed her for the better ...she also pretty much stopped swearing overnight too since being born again ... the lord has changed us both for the better and we're so grateful 🙏❤️⛪️
I used to watch horror movies but I basically cut them out even Scooby-Doo and Monsters Inc, I still have times where I'm tempted. I use to have horror dreams but they never scared i liked them and devil still every once in awhile sends one my way. I'm not going back to those type of movies but I did give in and Watch one about a month ago. The movie was gross I didn't like it. I'm still struggling with temptations to watch Joker 2 and Squid Games. That movie and Tv show has a lot of killing in it and i don't want to be entertained by watching people get murdered
@@DW-fp7xtI know this is a topic about movies, but I stopped playing god of war Ragnarok because of its depiction of wolves in Norse mythology and Mortal Kombat because of the violence and sorcery. I have no interest in playing them. I never cared marvel movies to begin with.
@@DW-fp7xt I don’t see gow and mortal kombat like that but okay. I’m not playing video games that has glorified violence, sorcery or wolves as they go against the Bible. What’s wrong with not playing those types of games?
Recently I have seen The Forge by the Kendrick Brothers, and it is a really good movie that is about discleship , forgiveness and really , that movie made me cry . You guys should watch it ! It's REALLY good !
I've watched so many movies over the past decade, especially when my walk with my LORD Jesus wasn't great. This was something that I needed to be reminded again. I think good movies with good messages and moral values are like gifts, which God let us to enjoy. But to the thing this video is emphasizing on, we need to be careful of what we watch and hear, so that it may not hinder our walk with the LORD but rather we may thank Him for being able to enjoy something good. I Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV) “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Praise God and thanks to the author of this video for bringing this up.
Honestly, this has been food for thought, I genuinely enjoy a k drama or a romance novel, lately I’ve been feeling extremely anxious about enjoying it, same thing makeup videos and stuff, this has encouraged me to be free and mindful about media consumption, also genuinely motivated to start a physical hobby or a creative one to be mindful of the time I spend on media consumption. Sometimes it’s easier than going out to spend time walking or doing something else. Remembering how I cried and sobbed and was overall miserable about enjoying media, or music that made me happy I felt so joyless. This has encouraged me to be more free and enjoy good and healthy things that could teach a lot. Specially since I love discussing character development and growth into a better person or a good narrative. God bless
@judithdominguez3161 God is doing a work in you ❤️ I came from everything secular and was born again a year ago. Since then I gave up so many things that I thought I could never give up. And the thing is, I'm waay more content! 😅 Praise God 🥰
@@elisehill3574 amen! I’ve been praying and trying to discern my faith lately. scrupulously is real and it’s awful but God’s kindness and love remains. God bless you. 🫶
The spiderman movies are good and the sonic movies are good I can't wait for the minecraft movie to come out even tho the animations look disturbing Recommended movies - all the spiderman movies - all the sonic movies - Mario movie - Minions - all Marvel Movies up until the movie "Endgame" - all despicable me movies - The Bible (Yes that's what the movie is called) - The Passion of Christ (Disclaimer: If you are a child and not at least 14 years old don't watch it as you will most likely cry)
@@DrWaffles885 no I mean when you finish the movie endgame your set because I've never watched the Marvel movies after the endgame movie but I would assume it's boring because it just became repetitive as I seen from the trailers.
Thank you for making this video. It's encouraging to see another believer take this topic seriously. It bothers me sometimes how many Christians don't use discernment in their entertainment choices because they don't think it's a big deal or that it's affecting them spiritually. Most Christians would probably think I'm too picky, but I honestly think I've gotten too lax during my adult years. I've been trying to get back into a healthy discernment of knowing what's okay to watch and what isn't, even if it means I miss out on something everyone else calls "good." God bless you and your ministry. 🙏
i like how a simple video about movies can be so in-depth about how to handle temptation and be considerate to other and witness to others/preach gospel
Same here. Did you know that Mister Rogers was a Christian minister? Sure, there was an episode where one of the extras in the episode was gay, but Roger treats him like a person and not trying to take that person out of his lifestyle choices.
I think it's really important to share this message. I've seen many Christians struggle with sins, specially lust and I went through it myself for about a year. I had intrusive thoughts from watching certain movies, but with God's help, I’m overcoming it. Even now, those thoughts still try to control me, but I fight back with the power of grace.
Like you read my mind! Had a conversation with my friend about this exact topic this same week ❤ been praying and thinking about this topic because everyone seems to hold different standards on it all week, and so for this video to be released at the same time is such a God thing. The part about recognizing personal weakness really hit home for me, and was what I've been trying to find the words to express when others ask why i choose not to listen to cursing in movies. I use a filtering system to bleep those unwanted words/scenes out, and have had a very hard time explaining that to people who don't. I've had bad experiences where people make fun of me for it, act like it's stupid or childish, or just generally make me feel bad about my personal choice, and when trying to explain why I will choose not to entertain myself with something my christian friend will, it boils down to the way i know my mind and sensitivity, and the way i know ill be negatively influenced if i let those things in. Thanks for helping me to explain that more efficiently. (Also we are a bluey loving household😂its so good!!)
The timing is sooo right Im gonna watch a movie today with my family and I was wondering how, so thank you for your help at understanding how ❤ God Bless you Impact team! 💖
1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 NASB 21 but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good, 22 abstain from every form of evil. Psalm 101:2-3 NASB 2 I will carefully attend to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart. 3 I will set no worthless thing before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me. Galatians 5:13 NASB 13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.
Here's a few I enjoy: Mostly all the Kendrick Brothers movies: (Overcomer, War Room, Fireproof, Flywheel, Courageous, Facing the Giants), I Can Only Imagine, I Still Believe. That's all I can recommend... I don't know if you'll enjoy them or not. We all have different tastes after all.
Some things in the past used to be seen as wrong by the world. Now it's very acceptable, even among Christians. Movies made it okay to sin. Blasphemy in nearly every movie. Fornication (Sex outside of marriage) Swearing. People condescending find it strange that I ask them not to swear in my company. The message is encouraged "If it feels good, do it"
Number 6 of these tips helps the most- I absolutely go head over heels for my top movie Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, but I also know that not everything is Spider-Verse And I say this because Im a creator/artist at heart and there's certain things that admire for its overall concept, but I also have a lot of ideas and thoughts that can be put down on paper

@@MartinNedergaardHansenyou don't have to be afraid, if you believe in Jesus as your Lord and savior, you are saved, you don't have to fear hell. Keep praying for God to remove those thoughts from you!
One of my favorite movies is Conan and the barbarian from Arnold Schwarzenegger that movie can apply to a Christian life. Despite Conan behavior, his father‘s wisdom was good, and Conan listen to that wisdom to defeat evil by spite his problems.
Please pray that people are less ignorant about autism and actually listen to the autistic community. We need autism acceptance of autistic individuals because awareness isn’t enough
Thank you soo much , this really helped me I am not a movie person but it's something I love to do with friends I think it helps me connect with them but I have never really thought of it this way so thank you soo much, God bless you always
"Feeling overwhelmed by the world? Remember this beautiful truth from John 3:16: 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.' This verse reminds us of God's incredible love for each of us. No matter our struggles
For me, it's Jesus of Nazareth, The Passion of the Christ, the Jesus film, the Bible movie with John Huston, The ten commandments, Ben Hur, the list goes on....
@@DigitalPython yeah.. i mean you can just fully skip Attack of the Clones and the entire jabba scene, they don't bring all that much to the overall plot anyway.
i think you should do a video on fictional magic / fictional supernatural powers, cuz this is a very debated topic. people will say that reading harry potter is actual wltchcraft. i dont think that becuz fictional magic is often portrayed as something completely different than what Christians would would think as magic. its a another force of nature that humans can harness for different purposes. like electricity, theres magic powered cars and technology. i also notice that the ones who attack it the most are one that used to be in new age and stuff, which would make sense for them not to engage based on what you have said about people having different triggers for sin. i think its interesting that the most influential fantasy property (lord of the rings) was made by a devout catholic who famously had strong opinions about applicability vs allegory.
"Movies are a way for values to be communicated" - at this point, that line should just be slapped as a reminder in front of every piece of media. Watch things with your brain turned on! Realising you disagree with something (and why) can be just as valuable as watching things that do have Godly messages.
Am I doing enough? I have special needs, so I’m trying. I pray, read the Bible, and worship daily / weekly. I resist temptation. If I give in, I ask god to help me. I’m nice to others. If I’m struggling with being nice to someone, I ask god to help and ignore their actions. I try to go to church. If I don’t, it’s only because of health restrictions. If I’m not doing enough, can someone tell me how I’ll make it to heaven and how I can improve?
you are doing more than enough! It takes Holy Strength to do what you are currently doing right now. God has set you apart to be saved by Jesus and it is in Him and Him alone we have salvation. And ill tell you what: it’s not per se a matter of “if you’re doing enough or not enough” but it is about the saving power of Jesus which gives you the strength to do what you do. So whenever you feel like you’re not doing enough, bring it up to the feet of Jesus and *he will carry your burden alongside you.* Christianity is all about having a relationship with God and doing what honors him
@@fantasy-writer-v5zactually no, it is conservative christians spreading misinformation since for bluey that line is a aussie slang but that is not about lgbt
ive stopped watching movies, dramas, news, cartoons... theres a lot of shows where they make demons/devils really friendly, cute, attractive... i can only watch those sports anime 😂 if it has violence like boxing i feel really uncomfortable watching it😅 i find youtube hardest to fight tight now 😭
ragamuffin, I can only imagine, the case for Christ , facing the giants, an interview with God, play the flute, the blind, the war room, Woodlawn, what if, the shift, unbroken , 23 blast, and of course I love the lord of the rings as well these are all movies I’ve watched and honestly really enjoyed ❤️ these are all movies I recommend ❤️
Another great teaching!!!!! God bless you Impact Ministry 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽I haven’t gone to a movie theater in many years because there is nothing but trashy movies shown. The really good and wholesome movies are not shown in all theaters. It’s a matter of waiting for them to become available online. I like the entertainment factor, but still have to be aware of content. I’m grateful to God for the Ministry and your teaching in Spirit and in Truth!!!!!!!!!
Please pray that my severely autistic nephew’s autism is more manageable and he finds an effective alternative way to communicate and stops causing so much stress to my sister and her husband. Thank you. I don’t want his autism completely removed with out his consent but I do want it to be milder
I had to stop the video when you said Bluey lol. I really love Bluey also because it's a cartoon that touches on life things dealing with children and adults at the same time. so I just wanted to say that I love how in the video it says not let movies consume your thoughts. I have a habit of doing that especially as a little girl even in my adulthood. I can't watch romance movies because it will consume my thoughts at the end "I'm like man why don't I have a relationship or why nobody loves me like that or will I ever find a love that? And it makes me sad it also makes me lose sight of God and his love for me also his plans for me in finding a future husband so I can't watch that. I know it's just a movie at the end of the day but yea... those are my feelings towards those kinds of me.
I could do with some prayer, I am suffering through a heart condition, and in desperate need of some healing, God doesn't seem to want to listen to my cries anymore, I haven't exactly been the most righteous person, he must be sick of my sins, so now I turn to those who are more righteous than I am, for help, perhaps he will listen to you
I will pray for you, don't give up, Christ will forgive all our sins if we repent and ask for forgiveness, you're not an exception. ❤ God says in Hebrews 8:12 “I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” You are not less worthy in his eyes because you have sinned. :)
God will never get sick of you , please remember this “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you" Isaiah 49:15 and "Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you"Isaiah 46:4 So don't stop crying out because sorrow may endure the night but joy comes in the morning. God bless you,in Jesus Christ name .❤
THANK YOU GOD!!!! The lord has been convicting me about entertainment in general since when I was a child (14 and younger I am now 15 and now a follower of Christ) so still kinda young but I’ve woken up and realized that there should be things that should and shouldn’t be indulged in and as of right now I’ve had the issues of my manga collection and my video game library and I’ve for a time allowed certain things to be there that shouldn’t clearly. But now through God there have been things that have been torn out of my life and praise God for it! Like now I’m questioning if it’s ok the have certain things in the content of the entertainment and if it’s ok for there to be like super powers and magic (I still am on the fence about it but for the most part I see super powers as ok and magic as… complicated tbh it really depends on the context about how it is and if it’s related to paganism or if it’s called magic and all kinds of confusing stuff) but God is lighting my path and I know I can trust in HIM!!!! AMEN!!!!
Honestly you’re so real with the Bluey mention 😂 I’m pretty oldish and I really enjoy that show a lot but I’m too scared to tell anyone cause ppl judge rlly easily lol but it rlly is an amazing show. Apart from that though thanks for the advice I honestly really like your perspective of viewing things as a Catholic because I’ve been wanting to personally improve and help lead others to Christ but I don’t want to come off as someone trying to force them into religion and I feel like I have to be really mindful of my wording in order to do so
I was watching a TH-cam channel reacting to movies and they were watching the incredibles. In the scene of Dash running in the water, one of the reactors said “Take that Jesus” so I quit watching that channel immediately and never going to watch it again.
To hello there‼️I have a question. What would you think of a religious or at least a Bible themed game show like cool, wacky and unique Japanese game shows❓🙂
I am going to be super sincere to EVERYONE: On August 18th, 2024, before I attended my sophomore year of college, I watched Alien: Romulus. Yes, I am aware of its horror content, including idolatry, but it did not affect me throughout the end of the film. Look, after watching this video, my demeanor completely changed on how I am supposed to respond to detestable content. On YT videos, I make reaction videos but keep them PG. That means I remove profanity, alcohol, smoking, sexual content, and self-harm. Plus, I have NO right to judge anyone because Christ is our righteous judge. If anyone has offended me, I would forgive them, since Christ forgives me.
I watched Deadpool and Wolverine and I do enjoy super hero films. I don’t know if I’ll ever watch it again because Deadpool called himself “Marvel Jesus” in the film. Saying stuff like that makes me think that it’s not worth my time to support movies that mock the Lord.
Recently just yesterday I was watching a movie but there were some parts that felt pretty uncomfortable to me and for a long time I kept thinking whether if I should continue watching this movie and if God would approve it. I told no one about this matter and only God knew. This video popped up on my feed and I know that God sent me this video. Thank you for a very informative and helpful video and God bless you, PRAISE THE LORD!
I needed this. I can relate to this so much after watching many movies and shows that have led me to sin, and making it the norm for me. Now that I’m fighting to make things right with God again, I’ve been very selective of what I personally watch. Like anything that inspires me or hits me deep inside. Godzilla Minus One comes to mind with a hopeful theme of cherishing your own life even in the midst of great turmoil. That kind of message that can be used in my walk with God. ❤
Thanks for this video I really need this because in the past that I or the old me that watch some bad movies that make me sin but one day 6 months ago I was feeling pain because I did a sin but I pray to God and ask him to forgive me and give up all sins to God after that my life has change for the good now i'm a change person and soon I will be baptized for the life of christ and God.God bless ❤
I still enjoy Horror movies once in awhile but I never allow them to influence me in anyway especially since the majority are considered demonic. Thanks for the enlightening content as always my friend.
This has helped me greatly. I’ve put away a lot of what I used to enjoy and am trying to still have fun with movies and such without it getting to me. Hopefully I can still have fun without letting myself get carried away and be pulled from God
And this is why I can sadly not watch Voltron, Dragon Prince or the Great Kipo anymore. They were all great shows right up until they through in same-sex couple junk, which immediately turned me off and rubbed me the wrong way. It really is a shame how Hollywood and every major movie producer feels like it's okay to pander to that which is wrong just to be popular. Furthermore, I tend to stay away from the majority of anime because they have a habit of oversexualizing women and giving them ridiculous proportions that are not only unrealistic, but also extremely sinful. Please pray for me as I struggle with this temptation.
I understand. A lot of anime loves to objectify women, and a lot of shows throw in homosexuality to please Gen Z and Millennial Tumblr users because of how much it has become a f3t1sh since 2020. Not to mention a lot of romance books affected women into unrealistic fantasies of men, or contain problematic relationships and smut. I read Jane Austen, but I don't unrealistic expectations of men. I read her books because of the healthy portrayal of relationships.
I watched a Pg13 thriller last year and loved it! But lately these past few days ive been thinking if I shouldve allowed myself to watch that or not cuz i wasnt seeing anything that would hurt my faith, tho thought number6 helped me realize why ive been thinking of it a lot, its cause I was too obsessed with the fandom, and was kinda idolizing it too much. Thank you for the help.
my brother as a kid was watching "the cramp twins". Basically the bad twin had more powers and was more likeable but the good one was always hated with less power. And because of that my brother learnt that evil is good and he was acting the same way as the bad guy. Basically he was beating me up many times like in the series. So i agree that movies and series strongly influence us mostly in childhood when we learn of what is wrong and right. Because of that for example many people believe that beating up their kids is right and it is the only way to teach them stuff. Likewise many another stuff we think is okay but according to the Bible it isnt. For example i always was a tomboy but in God's eyes women wearing male's clothes is an abomination in his eyes. But i always believed that being tomboy, femboy or trans was a normal thing that was natural (but i was wrong)
I watched all of Breaking Bad before I was really following Jesus, and was a fan. Earlier today I was watching a clip of it that showed up on Facebook, and I had to turn it off. It was so violent and evil. Now that I walk with the Lord, evil just sticks out like a sore thumb and it’s so unattractive and uncomfortable now.
I've struggled with the idea that evil or morally gray characters make a movie / TV show / book bad. I've had people (i.e. strangers on the internet) tell me that I can't watch movies with anything that disagrees with my values, whether religious, political, or personal. I've learned that the movies I like, while they do *have* evil characters and good characters taking evil actions, they never *glorify* these characters or actions. They might present these things, but they always present them in a negative or mocking light. The major exception recently is same-sex attraction, but because it's such a small part of the movie and it's never outright stated -- only vaguely implied -- I find that I can handle it with a simple headcanon that they're Just Friends. I've also been a fan of TV shows that officially introduced same sex "couples" in the finale. Seems to be a trend nowadays in cartoons -- Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and Adventure Time come to mind. In Gravity Falls' case, I found the characters in question creepy and disliked them all along, whereas in the other two, it came out of absolutely nowhere. In that case I can easily decide it's not canon. Alternately, I can remember that not every problem has to be solved and that the characters will always be flawed. Not every story leaves its characters in the best places, and even if most characters are left in a better place than where they started, not everyone will be. I guess my conclusion is that, for me personally, it's OK to like media that includes bad behavior or even shows it in a neutral or positive light, as long as I recognize that it is bad and rightfully criticize that part. In other words, I am able to criticize part of a franchise without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I personally live star wars movies (sequels not included, I strongly dislike those lol). My grandfather doesnt agree, he thinks the whole chosen one prophecy thing is blasphemy. I can see where hes coming from, but star wars has actually grown my connection with God tbh. It's a story of redemption and the way I see it is this: Anakin was ripped out of slavery and forced into a life he didn't know and in ways didn't want, which leads him to the dark side (representing sin) but despite all the terrible evil things he'd done when he chooses his son (in a way this could Parnell as when someone turns to jesus) over evil, and ultimately destroys the emperor being the embodiment of all evil, hes saved. Not because that took away the responsibility to account those acts, but bc he turned from those acts. And in the same way we can turn to Jesus. Because it doesn't matter how terrible the things you've done, no one who turns to Jesus and away from evil can't be saved, everyone can be saved. That even includes the most terrifying villain, Anakin Skywalker. So yeah long comment, hopefully it was worth reading though lol. Good bless ❤
I remember watching a movie with my mom on her laptop, and the movie it is called, "The mitchells vs. The machines" and near the end of the movie, one of Dad's son Aaron mitchell, he said to the Pug dog Monchi, "King of kings" and my Mom pause the movie we look at each other for a few seconds and i said, "He just called that Dog God." My Mom agreed and we turned off the movie and did not finish it. Just be careful what you watch and see if it's what God wants you to watch, Hope this helps someone. 🙏❤️
I watched that movie when I was younger and wasn’t Christian, I watched it again recently but never got to the end. I didn’t realize that they called a dog that. Definitely blasphemy!
@@DigitalPython Yes, monchi the dog was called, "King of kings" he was definitely calling that dog God, when in reality there only one true God with that name, Jesus.
This really opened my sees because sometimes I do struggle with sinful thoughts that come from media but I try my best not let them rule my mind and if I come by a thought that bothers me I try to either let it flow or think of something more wholesome and their are movies or sense that I try to avoid entirely, though their are nights were I relieve myself with sexulized things from media (not pornography but things like dc women’s outfits) but not every single night or if it’s a holiday night especially a Christian holiday night and I always apologize for it to God the next morning Btw I just like to say that personally I believe that it’s not same sex relationships that are sinful but rather same sex intercorse, but that’s just my belief
2:44 You can't argue with God's word, you either believe it entirely or you don't despite how your flesh feels. Romans 1:24-27 is pretty clear on what it says and when he was talking about these specific scriptures in the video it was not taken on the context.
Very true we also need to be mindful of the music we listen too as well. Its important that we as believers learn how to be sensitive to the Holy spirit and be quick to repent when we sin and miss the mark because the Holy Ghost will convicted your heart of things that are not pleasing to God.
@@proudoyster778 it doesn’t matter.. you’re supposed to capitalize G in God? . And just cause u put a capital G in guys make no sense.. have some respect
I watched this horror movie one time, and it made me feel sad how the characters in the movie were so easy to give in to demonic activities like it was just an entertainment for them. I immediately prayed for everyone who’s part of the movie from the makers to actors, those who’ve seen it, everyone! That’s how easy the demon tempt human to sin in real life, it feels like an ecstasy. wont tell the movie bc I don’t recommend watching it anyways. 😂
I mean, you don’t need to since there is no mention of it in the Bible, but you definitely can if you wanted to! Use it as a day to celebrate Christ’s birth.
@YinYang4life Of course, it's in the bible. The birth of christ is in the bible, and people brought gifts, including the three wise men. Now, of course, they didn't call it christmas, but it is the birth of Jesus. it's the biggest celebration day of the year. Now, who would not wanna celebrate that? You also. Say that we don't have to celebrate that.? Um.. As Christians, yes, we do.
Pray about how to celebrate it. If one makes it all about materialism (buying gifts and decorations, especially if it incurs debt), then celebrating becomes sinful. If it is about caring for others in meaningful ways, especially those in need, then celebrating honors God. As far as Santa, Christmas trees, etc. are concerned, pray for guidance.
Excellent work. My dad, housemate, and siblings.. don't think that there's harmful messages in movies. I for one decided to toss out questionable movies. Oh speaking of Deadpool.. I saw the trailer and I heard the actor said something to the degree that he's Jesus ... And that told me not to watch it.
This goes for tv series as well. Fell to sin many times not only after watching sex education on Netflix, but due to watching that particular show It is hard to be a christian in our world
I really needed to hear that Jesus loves you at the end. I’ve heard it thousands of times but after an evening of walking in the flesh I need to know what true repentance looks like.
I was going to see the new Deadpool movie in the cinema with friends, and was really exited for it because i love the Xmen movies. We already had tickets and everything but when we got to the cinema we werent allowed in because not all of our friends were over 16 (which has never been a problem in this particular cinema before, they normally dont check) so we all went to one of our houses to have a movie night at home instead. A little later i found out how much DP&W mocked Christ, so im glad i didnt watch it and i dont think i ever will. My exitement and love for these characters was becomjgn idoltry, and i do believe God made this happen as a warning sign, as id already been having bad feelings about going to watch it before, but had chosen to ignore them in favor of my exitement. Vulgar content in movies doesnt often affect me or lead me into sin, but i do have a tendency to let stories consume my life for a time. My love for God is greater however, and im gratefull he helped me resist it ❤
films can indeed convey important values and ideas, influencing our perception of the world and shaping moral principles. However, considering that some films may contain harmful or manipulative elements, especially regarding youth, it's crucial to be discerning about their content. Viewers should cultivate critical thinking to distinguish positive messages from negative ones and make conscious choices in favor of artistic works that promote spiritual and moral development.
How do you approach choosing what movies or media to watch?
I look at the rating information
I go on the Plugged In website. They do reviews for most movies and they're Christian.
I also consult my parents!
If it is gay or cursing I will stop watching. I really recommend watching the Prince of Egypt! It's about Exodus! :D but some stuff isn't accurate from the Bible :/ but it's still good :D Also is it okay to watch Jurassic world? Like the dinosaurs? Bc I like animals a lot but I dunno about dinosaurs bc what if they're not real? I dunno I'm confused... :/
Edit: so while writing this I was trying to write off the evil done in the show as tolerable so long as it doesn’t get into your heart but it still has to be addressed as wrong and they never really do that so it’s for the best to part with the manga collection and the JJBA anime
I don’t know where to start as of right now I’ve just put the mangas I’ve collected in a box in a storage shed while I evaluate it
I deleted the comments because I don’t want to cause any sin and God seemed to tell me the comment will by recommending the show or manga so yeah 😅 I’m really sorry but I’ve evaluated the show and it’s not good and bad and I’m cutting it out of my life along with the other evil promoting anime but not the good ones obviously those can stay not ALL anime is bad (hopefully most of it is secular so it’s got a LOT of gray area 😅) but I will evaluate everything from now on
I don't really watch movies
Whatever you do, never stop answering questions I didn’t know I had
In other words, thank you ❤
I wonder is it a sin to imagine marrying the women first then having sex second in your mind?
Hearing “I’m the Messiah, I’m MARVEL JESUS” in the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer really woke me up and convicted me. You can’t write them off as ‘just fiction’ when it’s wickedness, predictive programming and blasphemy!
@@NanaHoneyB Yeah Deadpool was never appropriate to begin with. I think people try to be ignorant and justify sinful things in movies because it's "just a movie", but they don't understand how dangerous the messages could be or the spiritual effects that come after watching it.
I wanted to see that movie, but now I'm like NOPE.
At least it's obvious blasphemy. Unlike "The Chosen" and is sneaky Mormon blasphemy.

@@calciumisAnother Christian bsd fan here hello hi!! :DDD
I love these videos because they have truly helped me become a better Christian. I’m 11 turning 12 and I’ve been watching these videos since I was 10! Keep posting ! I am 100% a visual learner so this is extremely helpful
I might be the biggest cinephile in my church. My greatest dream is to actively work in the cinema industry because I see movies as a reflection of life, storytelling is the way I express myself and films are my escapism. But I also understand that they can’t be the reason why I live. It’s just a dream of a possible work and career, but it won’t be my ticket to Heaven. It can be a medium to bring glory to God, but what Jesus values is my heart (like 1 Samuel 16 says). So thank you for this video, I needed to understand deeply what it means to be a Christian visual storyteller, I hope, if God says yes, to bring content that glorifies Him.
I agree with this
@@anoushforno I’m someone who wants to go into movies myself, to both make great films and to glorify God with them. I’ve been reading this book “Outside Hollywood” lately; I think it’s a great resource for Christians wanting to get into film production.
I understand you Amen
The Prince of Egypt
Awesome film, also, nice video, we should get away from temptation, no matter how shiny it may look
¡Viva Cristo Rey!
Viva!!!
My rule of thumb is;
If it totally blasphemes Jesus, and/or mocks Christians it gets shut off.
If it's got cussing, or something else that offends my sensibilities, 3 strikes and you're out.
I agree, the only difference for me is if it's a history documentary then I'll let some stuff slide as it's showing what actually happened
Schindler's List is so depressing
There are some anime movies and series I like that are appropriate, but when I hear cuss words, I didn't dare to use them thankfully. So I never used cuss words before (and I am honest) and I thank God for that he gave me a mouth to use my words carefully to speak.
But if you guys don't want to hear cuss words in the movie, that is completely understandable and it's gonna be difficult though to avoid hearing them.
Rn i feel distant from god bc Theis this thought in my head from a demon and i hate it im scared of hell rn The thought is that Jesus was not mesiah and he was a prophet from god telling me that but ik Jesus was mesiah i just wanna get it out of my head im scared of hell
Second rule basically means don’t watch any movie

i agree especially with point number 1. all (most) entertainment is neutral and neither good or evil. rather its the specific stuff in the entertainment that is good or evil. enjoy your entertainment to glorify God!

@@MartinNedergaardHansen Pray about it and rebuke it in Jesus name, we can know that Jesus was God because he says that "before Abraham was, I am" and he also says " if you have seen me you have seen the father" that may not have been it word for word but he implies that he is God in the flesh and that he is the son of God and that God is in him, God the father, Jesus, Holy Spirit they are three in one pray for dominion over your thoughts give your concerns to God and take captive every thought.

My wife used to love horror films ....since she came to faith and received the holy spirit she has watched ....ZERO ....she says she just doesn't want too anymore ....jesus has changed her for the better ...she also pretty much stopped swearing overnight too since being born again ... the lord has changed us both for the better and we're so grateful 🙏❤️⛪️
I used to watch horror movies but I basically cut them out even Scooby-Doo and Monsters Inc, I still have times where I'm tempted. I use to have horror dreams but they never scared i liked them and devil still every once in awhile sends one my way. I'm not going back to those type of movies but I did give in and Watch one about a month ago. The movie was gross I didn't like it.

@@DW-fp7xtI know this is a topic about movies, but I stopped playing god of war Ragnarok because of its depiction of wolves in Norse mythology and Mortal Kombat because of the violence and sorcery. I have no interest in playing them. I never cared marvel movies to begin with.

@@DW-fp7xt I don’t see gow and mortal kombat like that but okay. I’m not playing video games that has glorified violence, sorcery or wolves as they go against the Bible. What’s wrong with not playing those types of games?
Recently I have seen The Forge by the Kendrick Brothers, and it is a really good movie that is about discleship , forgiveness and really , that movie made me cry . You guys should watch it ! It's REALLY good !
yes a great movie!
I agree, we must protect our ears and eyes from that which can cause us to have sinful thoughts and desires. Live by the Spirit, not my the flesh.
I've watched so many movies over the past decade, especially when my walk with my LORD Jesus wasn't great. This was something that I needed to be reminded again. I think good movies with good messages and moral values are like gifts, which God let us to enjoy. But to the thing this video is emphasizing on, we need to be careful of what we watch and hear, so that it may not hinder our walk with the LORD but rather we may thank Him for being able to enjoy something good.
I Corinthians 10:31 (NKJV)
“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”
Praise God and thanks to the author of this video for bringing this up.
Honestly, this has been food for thought, I genuinely enjoy a k drama or a romance novel, lately I’ve been feeling extremely anxious about enjoying it, same thing makeup videos and stuff, this has encouraged me to be free and mindful about media consumption, also genuinely motivated to start a physical hobby or a creative one to be mindful of the time I spend on media consumption. Sometimes it’s easier than going out to spend time walking or doing something else. Remembering how I cried and sobbed and was overall miserable about enjoying media, or music that made me happy I felt so joyless. This has encouraged me to be more free and enjoy good and healthy things that could teach a lot. Specially since I love discussing character development and growth into a better person or a good narrative. God bless

Just a quick question, why not Endgame? I’ve never seen it so I don’t know what’s in it but I was just wondering
@@DrWaffles885 no I mean when you finish the movie endgame your set because I've never watched the Marvel movies after the endgame movie but I would assume it's boring because it just became repetitive as I seen from the trailers.
@@OPEnderMan-e9r Oh thank you. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
@@DrWaffles885 oh no problem God bless
Yeah the Sonic movies are super wholesome for a modern day movie!
Thank you for making this video. It's encouraging to see another believer take this topic seriously. It bothers me sometimes how many Christians don't use discernment in their entertainment choices because they don't think it's a big deal or that it's affecting them spiritually. Most Christians would probably think I'm too picky, but I honestly think I've gotten too lax during my adult years. I've been trying to get back into a healthy discernment of knowing what's okay to watch and what isn't, even if it means I miss out on something everyone else calls "good." God bless you and your ministry. 🙏
i like how a simple video about movies can be so in-depth about how to handle temptation and be considerate to other and witness to others/preach gospel
I sometimes re watch the original Thomas the tank engine and mister Rogers neighborhood. That was when children’s programming was truly wholesome.
Same here. Did you know that Mister Rogers was a Christian minister? Sure, there was an episode where one of the extras in the episode was gay, but Roger treats him like a person and not trying to take that person out of his lifestyle choices.
Back when PBS was good
I agree!!!
I'm glad you mentioned the dead pool movie because the language is the reason i didnt see dead pool and wolverine
Speaking of movies, Passion of the Christ is the best Christian movie in my opinion, would highly recommend watching if you’re at the appropriate age!
Oh I've seen it. I just can't watch when they crucified.
No. False depiction of the Messiah. Stop watching that nonsense that makes images of Him
@@euniceleblanc4526 Yeah it’s a very tough movie to watch, I’m surprised I got through the whole thing first try
@@NanaHoneyBWhat does it depict that you disagree with?
@@NanaHoneyBHow is it false?
From when a character immediately call themself a “God” or the “messiah” I IMMEDIATELY start rebuking
I think it's really important to share this message. I've seen many Christians struggle with sins, specially lust and I went through it myself for about a year. I had intrusive thoughts from watching certain movies, but with God's help, I’m overcoming it. Even now, those thoughts still try to control me, but I fight back with the power of grace.
May you make a video about how to rest on the Sabbatha and why it's still on Saturday.
Like you read my mind! Had a conversation with my friend about this exact topic this same week ❤ been praying and thinking about this topic because everyone seems to hold different standards on it all week, and so for this video to be released at the same time is such a God thing.
The part about recognizing personal weakness really hit home for me, and was what I've been trying to find the words to express when others ask why i choose not to listen to cursing in movies. I use a filtering system to bleep those unwanted words/scenes out, and have had a very hard time explaining that to people who don't. I've had bad experiences where people make fun of me for it, act like it's stupid or childish, or just generally make me feel bad about my personal choice, and when trying to explain why I will choose not to entertain myself with something my christian friend will, it boils down to the way i know my mind and sensitivity, and the way i know ill be negatively influenced if i let those things in. Thanks for helping me to explain that more efficiently.

Mostly all the Kendrick Brothers movies:
(Overcomer, War Room, Fireproof, Flywheel, Courageous, Facing the Giants),
I Can Only Imagine,
I Still Believe.
That's all I can recommend... I don't know if you'll enjoy them or not. We all have different tastes after all.
Some things in the past used to be seen as wrong by the world. Now it's very acceptable, even among Christians. Movies made it okay to sin.
Blasphemy in nearly every movie.
Fornication (Sex outside of marriage)
Swearing. People condescending find it strange that I ask them not to swear in my company.
The message is encouraged "If it feels good, do it"
Number 6 of these tips helps the most- I absolutely go head over heels for my top movie Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, but I also know that not everything is Spider-Verse

One of my favorite movies is Conan and the barbarian from Arnold Schwarzenegger that movie can apply to a Christian life. Despite Conan behavior, his father‘s wisdom was good, and Conan listen to that wisdom to defeat evil by spite his problems.
I always avoid films with satan, demons, or demonic possesions with the only exception being Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
I watched the second Dr strange movie and I felt guilty after watching it, I felt that I needed to ask God for forgiveness.
Are you sure that you felt guilty or you just didn't like the movie?

I had to get rid of all R rated movies, regardless of genre, because of F-word language. Garbage in, garbage out.
I still have one rated R movie that I probably should get rid of but i like it too much called Speed
For me, it's Jesus of Nazareth, The Passion of the Christ, the Jesus film, the Bible movie with John Huston, The ten commandments, Ben Hur, the list goes on....

@@DigitalPython yeah.. i mean you can just fully skip Attack of the Clones and the entire jabba scene, they don't bring all that much to the overall plot anyway.
i think you should do a video on fictional magic / fictional supernatural powers, cuz this is a very debated topic. people will say that reading harry potter is actual wltchcraft. i dont think that becuz fictional magic is often portrayed as something completely different than what Christians would would think as magic. its a another force of nature that humans can harness for different purposes. like electricity, theres magic powered cars and technology. i also notice that the ones who attack it the most are one that used to be in new age and stuff, which would make sense for them not to engage based on what you have said about people having different triggers for sin. i think its interesting that the most influential fantasy property (lord of the rings) was made by a devout catholic who famously had strong opinions about applicability vs allegory.
Praise the Lord for having me born as ace, makes one sin a lot easier to deal with.
"Movies are a way for values to be communicated" - at this point, that line should just be slapped as a reminder in front of every piece of media. Watch things with your brain turned on! Realising you disagree with something (and why) can be just as valuable as watching things that do have Godly messages.
Am I doing enough?
I have special needs, so I’m trying.
I pray, read the Bible, and worship daily / weekly.
I resist temptation. If I give in, I ask god to help me.
I’m nice to others. If I’m struggling with being nice to someone, I ask god to help and ignore their actions.
I try to go to church. If I don’t, it’s only because of health restrictions.
If I’m not doing enough, can someone tell me how I’ll make it to heaven and how I can improve?
you are doing more than enough! It takes Holy Strength to do what you are currently doing right now. God has set you apart to be saved by Jesus and it is in Him and Him alone we have salvation.
And ill tell you what: it’s not per se a matter of “if you’re doing enough or not enough” but it is about the saving power of Jesus which gives you the strength to do what you do. So whenever you feel like you’re not doing enough, bring it up to the feet of Jesus and *he will carry your burden alongside you.*
Christianity is all about having a relationship with God and doing what honors him

I had to stop the video when you said Bluey lol. I really love Bluey also because it's a cartoon that touches on life things dealing with children and adults at the same time. so I just wanted to say that I love how in the video it says not let movies consume your thoughts. I have a habit of doing that especially as a little girl even in my adulthood. I can't watch romance movies because it will consume my thoughts at the end "I'm like man why don't I have a relationship or why nobody loves me like that or will I ever find a love that? And it makes me sad it also makes me lose sight of God and his love for me also his plans for me in finding a future husband so I can't watch that. I know it's just a movie at the end of the day but yea... those are my feelings towards those kinds of me.
I could do with some prayer, I am suffering through a heart condition, and in desperate need of some healing, God doesn't seem to want to listen to my cries anymore, I haven't exactly been the most righteous person, he must be sick of my sins, so now I turn to those who are more righteous than I am, for help, perhaps he will listen to you
I will pray for you, don't give up, Christ will forgive all our sins if we repent and ask for forgiveness, you're not an exception. ❤
God says in Hebrews 8:12 “I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
You are not less worthy in his eyes because you have sinned. :)
I will pray my brother in Christ
God will never get sick of you , please remember this
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you" Isaiah 49:15
and
"Even to your old age, I am He, And even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you"Isaiah 46:4
So don't stop crying out because sorrow may endure the night but joy comes in the morning.
God bless you,in Jesus Christ name .❤
THANK YOU GOD!!!!
The lord has been convicting me about entertainment in general since when I was a child (14 and younger I am now 15 and now a follower of Christ) so still kinda young but I’ve woken up and realized that there should be things that should and shouldn’t be indulged in and as of right now I’ve had the issues of my manga collection and my video game library and I’ve for a time allowed certain things to be there that shouldn’t clearly. But now through God there have been things that have been torn out of my life and praise God for it! Like now I’m questioning if it’s ok the have certain things in the content of the entertainment and if it’s ok for there to be like super powers and magic (I still am on the fence about it but for the most part I see super powers as ok and magic as… complicated tbh it really depends on the context about how it is and if it’s related to paganism or if it’s called magic and all kinds of confusing stuff) but God is lighting my path and I know I can trust in HIM!!!! AMEN!!!!
Honestly you’re so real with the Bluey mention 😂 I’m pretty oldish and I really enjoy that show a lot but I’m too scared to tell anyone cause ppl judge rlly easily lol but it rlly is an amazing show. Apart from that though thanks for the advice I honestly really like your perspective of viewing things as a Catholic because I’ve been wanting to personally improve and help lead others to Christ but I don’t want to come off as someone trying to force them into religion and I feel like I have to be really mindful of my wording in order to do so

I was watching a TH-cam channel reacting to movies and they were watching the incredibles. In the scene of Dash running in the water, one of the reactors said “Take that Jesus” so I quit watching that channel immediately and never going to watch it again.
To hello there‼️I have a question. What would you think of a religious or at least a Bible themed game show like cool, wacky and unique Japanese game shows❓🙂
I am going to be super sincere to EVERYONE:
On August 18th, 2024, before I attended my sophomore year of college, I watched Alien: Romulus. Yes, I am aware of its horror content, including idolatry, but it did not affect me throughout the end of the film. Look, after watching this video, my demeanor completely changed on how I am supposed to respond to detestable content. On YT videos, I make reaction videos but keep them PG. That means I remove profanity, alcohol, smoking, sexual content, and self-harm. Plus, I have NO right to judge anyone because Christ is our righteous judge. If anyone has offended me, I would forgive them, since Christ forgives me.
ALIEN Romulus was OK. I didnt much like the ending though and way too many call backs to the classic films.
@@rockerboyrage1609 Your opinion is valid. 😀

I watched Deadpool and Wolverine and I do enjoy super hero films. I don’t know if I’ll ever watch it again because Deadpool called himself “Marvel Jesus” in the film. Saying stuff like that makes me think that it’s not worth my time to support movies that mock the Lord.
Recently just yesterday I was watching a movie but there were some parts that felt pretty uncomfortable to me and for a long time I kept thinking whether if I should continue watching this movie and if God would approve it. I told no one about this matter and only God knew. This video popped up on my feed and I know that God sent me this video. Thank you for a very informative and helpful video and God bless you, PRAISE THE LORD!
i am 14 and u make the concept of Christianity as simple as a comic series - keep this up
I needed this. I can relate to this so much after watching many movies and shows that have led me to sin, and making it the norm for me. Now that I’m fighting to make things right with God again, I’ve been very selective of what I personally watch. Like anything that inspires me or hits me deep inside. Godzilla Minus One comes to mind with a hopeful theme of cherishing your own life even in the midst of great turmoil. That kind of message that can be used in my walk with God. ❤
Thanks for this video I really need this because in the past that I or the old me that watch some bad movies that make me sin but one day 6 months ago I was feeling pain because I did a sin but I pray to God and ask him to forgive me and give up all sins to God after that my life has change for the good now i'm a change person and soon I will be baptized for the life of christ and God.God bless ❤
I make movies on my TH-cam channel. I tried to keep them family, friendly, or PG-13.
THANKS BROTHER YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO INSPARATIONAL AND HELPFUL MAY GOD BLESS YOU
I still enjoy Horror movies once in awhile but I never allow them to influence me in anyway especially since the majority are considered demonic. Thanks for the enlightening content as always my friend.
This has helped me greatly. I’ve put away a lot of what I used to enjoy and am trying to still have fun with movies and such without it getting to me. Hopefully I can still have fun without letting myself get carried away and be pulled from God
And this is why I can sadly not watch Voltron, Dragon Prince or the Great Kipo anymore. They were all great shows right up until they through in same-sex couple junk, which immediately turned me off and rubbed me the wrong way. It really is a shame how Hollywood and every major movie producer feels like it's okay to pander to that which is wrong just to be popular.
Furthermore, I tend to stay away from the majority of anime because they have a habit of oversexualizing women and giving them ridiculous proportions that are not only unrealistic, but also extremely sinful. Please pray for me as I struggle with this temptation.
I understand. A lot of anime loves to objectify women, and a lot of shows throw in homosexuality to please Gen Z and Millennial Tumblr users because of how much it has become a f3t1sh since 2020.
Not to mention a lot of romance books affected women into unrealistic fantasies of men, or contain problematic relationships and smut. I read Jane Austen, but I don't unrealistic expectations of men. I read her books because of the healthy portrayal of relationships.
I watched a Pg13 thriller last year and loved it!
But lately these past few days ive been thinking if I shouldve allowed myself to watch that or not cuz i wasnt seeing anything that would hurt my faith, tho thought number6 helped me realize why ive been thinking of it a lot, its cause I was too obsessed with the fandom, and was kinda idolizing it too much.
Thank you for the help.
Deadpool and Wolverine mocked the crucifixion, just so you know (I haven't watched it either).
my brother as a kid was watching "the cramp twins". Basically the bad twin had more powers and was more likeable but the good one was always hated with less power. And because of that my brother learnt that evil is good and he was acting the same way as the bad guy. Basically he was beating me up many times like in the series. So i agree that movies and series strongly influence us mostly in childhood when we learn of what is wrong and right. Because of that for example many people believe that beating up their kids is right and it is the only way to teach them stuff. Likewise many another stuff we think is okay but according to the Bible it isnt. For example i always was a tomboy but in God's eyes women wearing male's clothes is an abomination in his eyes. But i always believed that being tomboy, femboy or trans was a normal thing that was natural (but i was wrong)
I watched all of Breaking Bad before I was really following Jesus, and was a fan. Earlier today I was watching a clip of it that showed up on Facebook, and I had to turn it off. It was so violent and evil. Now that I walk with the Lord, evil just sticks out like a sore thumb and it’s so unattractive and uncomfortable now.
I've struggled with the idea that evil or morally gray characters make a movie / TV show / book bad. I've had people (i.e. strangers on the internet) tell me that I can't watch movies with anything that disagrees with my values, whether religious, political, or personal.
I've learned that the movies I like, while they do *have* evil characters and good characters taking evil actions, they never *glorify* these characters or actions. They might present these things, but they always present them in a negative or mocking light.
The major exception recently is same-sex attraction, but because it's such a small part of the movie and it's never outright stated -- only vaguely implied -- I find that I can handle it with a simple headcanon that they're Just Friends.
I've also been a fan of TV shows that officially introduced same sex "couples" in the finale. Seems to be a trend nowadays in cartoons -- Gravity Falls, Amphibia, and Adventure Time come to mind. In Gravity Falls' case, I found the characters in question creepy and disliked them all along, whereas in the other two, it came out of absolutely nowhere. In that case I can easily decide it's not canon.
Alternately, I can remember that not every problem has to be solved and that the characters will always be flawed. Not every story leaves its characters in the best places, and even if most characters are left in a better place than where they started, not everyone will be.
I guess my conclusion is that, for me personally, it's OK to like media that includes bad behavior or even shows it in a neutral or positive light, as long as I recognize that it is bad and rightfully criticize that part. In other words, I am able to criticize part of a franchise without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
I personally live star wars movies (sequels not included, I strongly dislike those lol). My grandfather doesnt agree, he thinks the whole chosen one prophecy thing is blasphemy. I can see where hes coming from, but star wars has actually grown my connection with God tbh. It's a story of redemption and the way I see it is this:
Anakin was ripped out of slavery and forced into a life he didn't know and in ways didn't want, which leads him to the dark side (representing sin) but despite all the terrible evil things he'd done when he chooses his son (in a way this could Parnell as when someone turns to jesus) over evil, and ultimately destroys the emperor being the embodiment of all evil, hes saved. Not because that took away the responsibility to account those acts, but bc he turned from those acts. And in the same way we can turn to Jesus. Because it doesn't matter how terrible the things you've done, no one who turns to Jesus and away from evil can't be saved, everyone can be saved. That even includes the most terrifying villain, Anakin Skywalker. So yeah long comment, hopefully it was worth reading though lol. Good bless ❤
I was praying to God because I was doubting about a series I like a lot, I then opened Youtue and saw this. Thank you!
I remember watching a movie with my mom on her laptop, and the movie it is called, "The mitchells vs. The machines" and near the end of the movie, one of Dad's son Aaron mitchell, he said to the Pug dog Monchi, "King of kings" and my Mom pause the movie we look at each other for a few seconds and i said, "He just called that Dog God." My Mom agreed and we turned off the movie and did not finish it. Just be careful what you watch and see if it's what God wants you to watch, Hope this helps someone. 🙏❤️
Also, the main character got into a gay relationship in that movie.
And her mom supported it.
@@1person91 Hmm, I didn't know that, thanks for sharing! ❤️
I watched that movie when I was younger and wasn’t Christian, I watched it again recently but never got to the end. I didn’t realize that they called a dog that. Definitely blasphemy!
@@DigitalPython Yes, monchi the dog was called, "King of kings" he was definitely calling that dog God, when in reality there only one true God with that name, Jesus.
This really opened my sees because sometimes I do struggle with sinful thoughts that come from media but I try my best not let them rule my mind and if I come by a thought that bothers me I try to either let it flow or think of something more wholesome and their are movies or sense that I try to avoid entirely, though their are nights were I relieve myself with sexulized things from media (not pornography but things like dc women’s outfits) but not every single night or if it’s a holiday night especially a Christian holiday night and I always apologize for it to God the next morning
Btw I just like to say that personally I believe that it’s not same sex relationships that are sinful but rather same sex intercorse, but that’s just my belief
2:44 You can't argue with God's word, you either believe it entirely or you don't despite how your flesh feels. Romans 1:24-27 is pretty clear on what it says and when he was talking about these specific scriptures in the video it was not taken on the context.
Very true we also need to be mindful of the music we listen too as well. Its important that we as believers learn how to be sensitive to the Holy spirit and be quick to repent when we sin and miss the mark because the Holy Ghost will convicted your heart of things that are not pleasing to God.
I think this is great, advice not just for movies, but all forms of other entertainment. Thanks for advice
Bluey is splendid
You are right Miles. The BLUEY cartoon is great.😊 And also I hope you will make some videos about TEACHING or COMMUNICATION.
! keep up the great job 👍
This goes for video games as well 💯
Hi! Could you make a video on what books can christian's read? I love reading books but I don't want to read ungodly books.
I think all the tips he gave in this video can be applied to the books we read
@@itsvick4255 ok!
All i read is DK eyewitness, hunger games novel and the Bible
First I love god
God*
Spell God with a capital G
You Guys still know what he means tho
(See what I did there 😂)
@@proudoyster778 it doesn’t matter.. you’re supposed to capitalize G in God? . And just cause u put a capital G in guys make no sense.. have some respect
@@Oddlynishyeah my bad man
Summary: watch movies that edify. God help me, God help us!
I watched this horror movie one time, and it made me feel sad how the characters in the movie were so easy to give in to demonic activities like it was just an entertainment for them. I immediately prayed for everyone who’s part of the movie from the makers to actors, those who’ve seen it, everyone! That’s how easy the demon tempt human to sin in real life, it feels like an ecstasy. wont tell the movie bc I don’t recommend watching it anyways. 😂
Should Christians celebrate Christmas? Pleas tell me
Yes! I'm pretty sure Christmas is a Christian holiday but correct me if I'm wrong bc I know some non Christians celebrate it
Of course.
It's our biggest day of the year. That was the day our savior was born.
I mean, you don’t need to since there is no mention of it in the Bible, but you definitely can if you wanted to! Use it as a day to celebrate Christ’s birth.
@YinYang4life Of course, it's in the bible. The birth of christ is in the bible, and people brought gifts, including the three wise men. Now, of course, they didn't call it christmas, but it is the birth of Jesus. it's the biggest celebration day of the year. Now, who would not wanna celebrate that? You also.
Say that we don't have to celebrate that.? Um.. As Christians, yes, we do.
Pray about how to celebrate it. If one makes it all about materialism (buying gifts and decorations, especially if it incurs debt), then celebrating becomes sinful. If it is about caring for others in meaningful ways, especially those in need, then celebrating honors God. As far as Santa, Christmas trees, etc. are concerned, pray for guidance.
Amen
This video came in the right time ❤
Thank you so much for this video, it’s so helpful to me and many others!❤ thank you for helping us with our relationship with God.
Excellent work. My dad, housemate, and siblings.. don't think that there's harmful messages in movies. I for one decided to toss out questionable movies.
Oh speaking of Deadpool.. I saw the trailer and I heard the actor said something to the degree that he's Jesus ... And that told me not to watch it.
This goes for tv series as well.
Fell to sin many times not only after watching sex education on Netflix, but due to watching that particular show
It is hard to be a christian in our world
I really needed to hear that Jesus loves you at the end. I’ve heard it thousands of times but after an evening of walking in the flesh I need to know what true repentance looks like.
I love movies and tv shows!!! but I love my family and the lord more
I was going to see the new Deadpool movie in the cinema with friends, and was really exited for it because i love the Xmen movies. We already had tickets and everything but when we got to the cinema we werent allowed in because not all of our friends were over 16 (which has never been a problem in this particular cinema before, they normally dont check) so we all went to one of our houses to have a movie night at home instead. A little later i found out how much DP&W mocked Christ, so im glad i didnt watch it and i dont think i ever will.
My exitement and love for these characters was becomjgn idoltry, and i do believe God made this happen as a warning sign, as id already been having bad feelings about going to watch it before, but had chosen to ignore them in favor of my exitement. Vulgar content in movies doesnt often affect me or lead me into sin, but i do have a tendency to let stories consume my life for a time. My love for God is greater however, and im gratefull he helped me resist it ❤
films can indeed convey important values and ideas, influencing our perception of the world and shaping moral principles. However, considering that some films may contain harmful or manipulative elements, especially regarding youth, it's crucial to be discerning about their content. Viewers should cultivate critical thinking to distinguish positive messages from negative ones and make conscious choices in favor of artistic works that promote spiritual and moral development.
Can you teach us how to prepare the way for god? I’ve heard about it but I’m not sure what to do(thanks for teaching we you’ve helped me so much)
'The Magic of Ordinary Days' is an enjoyable film.
