Certainly isn’t.
So people are so pure that they will boycott an excellent product because they don’t want to see a rainbow flag?
I truly can’t stand the poofter flags and nonsense, but would you rather Jenkins halt production and use donor money to defend himself in a lawsuit because he made some homo remove the flag from his own equipment?
Or, would you rather see that cameraman, a sinner like the rest of us experience what many non-Christians never get to do. Be with a huge group of Christians day in and day out for months on end, learning and speaking of the ministry of Jesus and the disciples.
We should be yearning for such opportunities.
don’t blame you. If you want alternatives, you can always watch “The Passion Of The Christ”, “The Greatest Story Ever Told”, “Ben-Hur”, “King Of Kings”, “The Bible” and the spin off movie “Son Of God” and “Jesus Of Nazareth”.
**********
Some people with questionable morals were surely involved in those earlier movies, but they didn’t advertise their sins with stickers on their equipment. That being said, the series is still going to lead people to the Lord.
Jesus did not tolerate sin. Jesus offered the grace of forgiveness to those who sin, but told the sinner to significantly change his or her ways, to stop the sinful behavior.
In John 8:1-12 Jesus is confronted by the scribes and Pharisees with a woman caught in the act of adultery. The Law of Moses required the people to stone her to death. When asked his view as to what should be done with her, Jesus replied, Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
When the crowd heard Him, “they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before Him. Jesus stood up and said to her, ‘Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?’ She said, ‘No one, Lord.’ And Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you; go and from now on sin no more.’”
Jesus then said to the scribes and Pharisees, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Those who condone or practice sin, including homosexuality or lesbianism, do not walk in light, but in darkness. Jenkins should uphold and uplift the Word of God and not condone or accept the sinful behavior, speech or lifestyle of the Pride community. Jesus does not. Jenkins should not. Jenkins should emulate Jesus.
Amen!
You Hit a HOME RUN with that post!!
Suppose, just for a minute, that nobody was worshiping those movies any more than you worship the Bible itself. Media is media.
Thanks
In our time, some “worldly Christian” things might operate as “fishing bait” towards some unbelievers while simultaneously being milk for some in the church while also simultaneously undermining the faith of others because of the materials’ compromises on truth. And as the faith of others matures, it’s often necessary to move away from and accurately expose what might have been “bait” or milk to a person when their faith was less developed. And overall, all the worldliness is undermining the church here. When Christ looks at how believers have “invested” what He’s entrusted to them, what will that show?
Pretty much the perfect response.
To tolerate sin without mentioning it to the sinner is bad enough. But in this case the actions we see appear to come across as almost defense of the sin.
As Jesus said to the apostles when He sent them out to do works in His name, if any city will not hear you, shake their dust off your feet as you leave. He did not say to remember them fondly though they will not hear my message.
I wasn’t watching it at all. Hadn’t heard of it until several months ago.
Now, I won’t watch it at all. Glad I missed it.
[Read the Bible instead.]
An excellent suggestion.
I’m not surprised. Thanks for noting.
I agree with you.
