How far has our nation fallen? Read this for some insight…
God is the bad guy in a movie coming out this January! The title of the movie is Legion and here is their official synopsis: “When God loses faith in mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the apocalypse. Humanity’s only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the archangel Michael.” The archangel Michael voluntarily falls to Earth to save the savior of mankind who hasn’t been born yet. (The savior’s mom is a diner waitress.) Did you get the message? Man’s only hope is to fight against God, the God who sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins. This movie was produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) a subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America (SCA), a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Sony Corporation.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Isaiah 5:20
Good luck fighting the Creator of the Universe and the source of all power.
He can’t get published.
He can’t get funded.
He can’t find an agent.
He can’t find a distributor.
So his manuscript sits on his computer.
The entertainment industry is constantly and consistently pumping raw sewage into our society. They glorify vice and ridicule virtue. Anti-god, anti-religious, they are in the business of shaping the minds of the youth and dumbed down Americans for a communistic/globalistic future.
Don’t believe me, go watch movies made before the mid-sixties. We have had to endure 40 years of this crap.
I believe this is a fictional movie, not to be mistaken for real life.
You don’t get it. The second messiah was not sent by God in Heaven. This messiah comes from the other place. You see now that God hates man, Satan can save the day with his only begotten child, the chosen, not aborted fetus of a hard working waitress/union worker with a heart of gold. Blah, blah, blah.
(Hollywood backstory imagined by me.)
I’m more concerned about its effect. With the Davinci Code, Brown’s response was, “Who’s to say the essential elements of this book are fictional.”
They can make their movie. Had they any guts, they’d be distorting some of the facts about Islam instead.
Come to think of it, you don’t have to distort much about Islam in order to write a good horror film.
Wow. I am slow. I should have seen this. Satan’s just misunderstood. Many thanks for the clarification.
In the Bible, if I recall correctly, one of the times that Jesus cast a demon out of someone, He forced the demon to reveal it’s name as it departed. The demon replied that it’s name was “Legion”.
Just sayin’.
Your recall still works!
Mark 5
The Healing of a Demon-possessed Man
1They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes.[a] 2When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an evil[b] spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him any more, not even with a chain. 4For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones.
6When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Swear to God that you won’t torture me!” 8For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you evil spirit!”
9Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13He gave them permission, and the evil spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
18As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis[c]how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.
It would seem that if something really cannot be disproven, then his was a fairly valid statement.
I’m guessing writers of fiction distort whatever isnecessary to come up with the desired finished product.
Why be concerned, if you know how this will all end? How could the writing of a fictional movie, change anything?
I actually like all those “Godly” and Judeo-Christian referencing movies (but not “religious” movies, although The Passion was an exception). I’ll probably see this movie at some time, probably after it comes out on DVD. Sounds cool, if you don’t take it too seriously.
The writer must have read the same passage.
“Why be concerned, if you know how this will all end? How could the writing of a fictional movie, change anything?”
Excuse me, but when someone in Hollywood releases a Blasphemous piece of trash, I will exercise my first amendment rights and call it just that. And just because God gave Christians a sneak peek of the Second Coming, and the Judgment on this World, does not mean we Christians stick our heads in the sand and wait. That’s like saying we know that America will eventually move towards socialized health care, so why fight it?
They’re asking an overwhelmingly Christian audience to root against God. Yeah this will make lots of money...
It’s not at all like that. You know about the second coming, because God said so. God said nothing about our country eventually move towards socialized health care. Since you believe the second coming will happen, then how would anything you do, or not do, affect that outcome?
"Legion" of course is the name given by the demon/s that Jesus exorcised, not an angel, and certainly not the archangel Michael. I'm guessing you might want to save some considerable effort wrapping your head around the plot on this baby. :-)
Nothing I can do can effect the outcome. But God does not see time like we mortal men do. We have a past we remember, a present we see, and a future we can only envision and plan for. God sees it all. Dont ask me how, but he does.
But I'm not here wasting my lunch arguing theology. My point is this movie makes God the bad guy and fiction or not, I'm am not going to see it.
OK
Daniel 10:1313But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Daniel 10:2121But I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth or the Book of Truth. There is no one who holds with me and strengthens himself against these [hostile spirit forces] except Michael, your prince [national guardian angel].
Daniel 12:11AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own].
Jude 1:9 (Amplified Bible)9But when [even] the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, judicially argued (disputed) about the body of Moses, he dared not [presume to] bring an abusive condemnation against him, but [simply] said, The Lord rebuke you!(A)
Revelation 12:7 (Amplified Bible)7Then war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels went forth to battle with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought.
The idea that of all the angels archangel Michael would turn his back on God is beyond me. What is worse is that, according to Hollywood, the main angel Michael ends up fighting is Gabriel!?! Hollyweird, true authors of confusion. No mention of what they think Jesus is doing throughout this whole ridiculous thing.
