Anybody here seen that movie"CHRISTINE",BASED ON THE STEVEN KING NOVEL???Oh,man.....

Garyburn, your holier than though attitude is not appreciated.

You come off as "I am better than you" type guy.

I am a strong Christian, and yes I have read SK novels and watched his movies.

So I DO NOT APPRECIATE YOU TELLING ME OR ANY OF MY GOOD FRIENDS HERE THAT WE ARE GLORIFYING SATAN IN ANY MATTER. HOW RUDE............YOU MAY NOT REALIZE WHO YOU HURT BY POSTING THIS.

YES I AM TYPING ALL CAPS BECAUSE I AM VERY UPSET RIGHT NOW WITH YOU! :veryangry:

YOU SAY YOUR NOT JUDGING US, BUT I FEEL AS IF I AM BEING JUDGED AS WELL AS MY GOOD FRIENDS HERE.
 
Why am I holier than thou???
Why do I come across I am better than you???
Just becasue I challenge you as a Christian that you should not be involved in such things??

If you have the light of Christ within you it wants no part with the darkness.
I ask you this... "What Would jesus Do"?

You can call me all the names you want... I stand by my post.
You are reading into my posts things I have never written.

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two
 
say whatever you want, you have hurt good friends of mine, and yes you judged them as well as me. I will be ignoring your posts if you continue your judgemental attitude that is not welcome here.
 
Mine is not a jugmental post.
I have no right to judge... only God Judges.
My post was scriptual based.
You not ignoring me... I dont care if you do.
Your ignoring Gods Spirit.

Please answer my question.... "What Would jesus Do"?
 
No he wouldnt have to forgive me for anything becasue I have not been judgmental in anyway.
Nor would he ask me to opologise.
To be honest with you my freind... you dont know anything about me.
My post was not intended to hurt anybody.
I am the first to admit that Im a sinner and fall short of the glory of God.
But by grace I am saved

I can not opologise for the word of God.
Its been offending many since the beginning of time and will continue to the last days.
It turns father against mother, brother against sister.

Please give me a passage in the bibe where it says "darkness & light" can be together as equals.
Light dispells darkness. You dont get a torch that you can switch on and everything turns black.

You can not deny scripture... you can try and run from it... but Gods boomerang will keep coming back and hitting you in the back of the head.
 
yes i think so. and the king was poisined. and the prince took off through the woods if i remember right......i can guarentee you will love Frank Peretti. I havent read all of his books yet as i dont read much any more either. although i am reading the one called..The Case For Thr Real Jesus by Lee Strobel. I got it for valentines day signed...but he is so intellecutal. more so then me by a mile so it takes me alot longer to read it. very interesting though.
 
I have had almost every SK book ever written. i threw them all away out of my own convictions. i felt uneasy with them laying around....i do however have that one still The Eyes Of The Dragon...it continues to be a fav book of mine. i see no evil coming from it. both of you have really good points. and im not taking sides what-so-ever. just my feelings here. Judge not lest ye be judged. that falls into almost every aspect of life. we may be judging something without relizing it at first. i get what garybrun was trying to say....and scripture is scripture not to be argued. but goes4ever has a good point to. some may feel its evil while others do not. I watch horror/thriller movies if they are not too gory..i prefer the thriller suspense ones. does this make me a bad person? i dont think so. I used to go to a christian counsilor when i was first saved and i had asked him why i enjoyed these type movies..he explained it was due to the adrinaline rush you get when you watch them. not like phsyco crazy type but like the same kind of feeling you would get from say...sky diving for the first time..or even riding a new rollercoaster.. so just because one feels one way and the other a different way dosent make either way wrong. or right in some cases. and to see the both of you argue about this is in my opinion just plain silly. this is a christian forum NOBODY should be judges for that is not the way of Christ. and to be a christian is to be Christ-like.....so please.sorry if anyone was offeneded. but i think hand shakes and forgiveness should be order and lets move on. God Bless the both of you and everyone else on this forum...
 
just to clarify things my pastor told me, that not all things wrong to one person will be wrong to another, a lot of things are not cut and dry, or black and white. Alcohol for example, some people think it is 100% wrong, while others think a drink with a meal is fine. It is a medical fact that one glass of wine is good for you because of the antioxidants.

Does that make it right?

My pastor told me that to not let my convictions on my own beliefs cause me to judge others for what they are or NOT covicted of. That would include SK novels and movies. Just because garyburn feels it is wrong, he has NO RIGHT to tell others it is wrong. Let God convict that person one way or another.

It is not our job to convict others, it is our job to share God's love and kindness with others, show them how much he cares and loves them. Once they get a relationship with him, things will fall into place.

Do I think SK novels are wrong?..............NO...............someone prove me wrong. I don't judge people or what they choose to do. That is God's job, not mine.
 
Thanks dobbie for your post! I, too, say shake hands and say sorry for hurting each other's feelings and go on posting on this forum! :)

God Bless! :angel:

I'm aware of Matt 7:1. That is talking about your own conscience getting in the way of ones own salvation, if that has occurred in the first place. If someone is dead in sin, then degrees are immaterial.
God is not all forgiveness and love either. Sure he can forgive anyone of just about anything, but there is a but there. "If you love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15.
In John 3:5 it states ".... except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" Jesus own words. No ifs no buts' or maybe. The word of God does the Judging and not us. Heb4:12 "The word of God is quick, and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
So I wouldn't be worried about a book or a movie and where it is at. God's word divides and judges people. It will make folks uncomfortable and it does require specific steps to attain salvation and then maintain it.
Something to think on.

Yeah - it is one of those things that I had to give up when I became a Christian. I think it is interesting that so many people are fascinating by the "supernatural" - and I put it down to a hunger for the REAL Supernatural - the things of God.
But anyways - after I became a Christian God took me to task about making sure I wasn't reading / watching stuff that didn't offer His Power as the answer to a situation involving the occult. Kind of a "what are you feeding your mind & heart with - thing - or in computer terminoldy GIGO. I have always tried to avoid Steven King stuff since.
 
Thanks Mick for your posts and welcome to the CMD Forum! I hope you will be with us often as a Brother-in-Christ! We like to read and see what others find detecting and about their faith in Jesus! :angel:

God Bless!

I used to watch the scary supernatural stuff...haunted houses, ghosts, haunted cemetaries, watched things like Chuckie and Bride of Chuckie...slasher movies, used to be interested in tarot cards, had a Ouija board, read adult exotic stories.....Notice - all past tense!

There comes a time when we have to put away childish things. In this cause things that are not of God.

I use care in what I put into my heart....through my eyes and through my ears. Words are seeds. What seeds someone wants to plant in their heart should be something to give thought to.

The words I was getting from the spooky movies, the pornographic magazines and books, etc. were seeds that I planted. There were not God's seeds. If not God's, than who did they come from. Certainly the evil one.

I guard carefully now what I let get planted in my heart. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. I'd rather have God's Word coming out of my mouth than the filthy of profanity, suggestive talking to females, telling dirty jokes, etc.

Knowing about the seed parable, I not only am concerned with what I hear and see and read but I am concerned for other Christians when I hear they are putting seeds not of God into them. Do I judge you for what you read? No.

Do I care that you may be hurting yourself, maybe giving Satan access to your heart? Yes I care because I love you. But doesn't caring also mean I should say something to you - my Brothers and Sisters in Christ?
What if you did not realize you were doing something that could open a door to the evil one? If I said you might want to re-think what you are doing, would I be judging you? Would I be loving you?

Not all of us have an understanding of everything in the Bible. Sharing what we know...what has been revealed to us through the Holy Spirit may save someone else from being told "Depart from me I do not know you" and being cast out. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I am not going to juddge anyone here. All I will say is think, and maybe re-think what you are watching, what you are reading, what you are hearing - does it edify your spirit, is it in line with God's Word, is it something that Jesus would do or see if He were physically here?

As for me, when I do something I know is wrong...it is sin! When I do something and not know if I should or not, then I should not. If I want to do something and I have to rationalize or justify doing it...it is wrong and I should not do it.

Sin is not doing what is good and God's Word tells us what is good. To do good and do it not, is sin.

May the Holy Spirit open the eyes of those who love their sin more than their God.

And, those are my thoughts. If you felt convicted by the Holy Spirit, that is good. If you want to rebell against God and His Word then that is between you and God - not me.

:pete.
You have a great way of writing.
That's exactly what I was trying to say and do.
I think its a European communication gap :angel:
 
I kinda felt I knew what you were trying to say but didn't come across the way my heart had thought you really wanted it to be taken.

There are those with eloquence in speaking...could talk people out of the clothes off ones back and ya wonder later why you're naked. (Kinda like those slick advertising people).

There are those who can write the written word and paint a wonderful picture that is breath taking.

Some are not good at communicating their thoughts at all. They are masters with their hands though and can turn a beat up old car into one of the most beautiful and expensive collectible cars around.

I am glad that my heart understood what you were trying to say. I am glad what I wrote spoke to you and it reflected what you really had on your heart.

We do not wish to hurt anyone in word or in deed. We love each other. Want to help each other with a helping hand when we can. We want to help carry the load and burden of others and go along the road together, not as one burdened by the load. And we do not want to see others who might be nearing a cross road take the wrong path.

May God bless us all and lead us down the path of righteousness for His name sake.

I know there are times I have opened my mouth to say something and it came out all wrong. My heart was in the right place but the words did not convey that.

Peace my Brothers and Sisters in Christ. Let us strive for the goal. Let us lift each other up in prayer, give a helping hand and may we all be at our Lord's feet when He returns and tells each of us "Well done faithful servant."

As a reminder my signature below is a reminder to me Phil 4:8 as to what I should think about. Those are the things I want in my heart, mind and in my speech for God's glory and in Jesus name.


Oh btw welcome to the forum Gary.
 
I think that if material is unhealthy for ones mind, then it should not be consumed.
Gary. I was not having a go at you either. I have often seen people talking about the concept of judging folks and was wondering why they come from where they are with at, as far too much energy is waisted on it. I suppose that this thread has finally prompted me to ask that question. My apologies if it seemed that it may have been seen as having a go at you, Goes4ever or anybody else, as it's not.
