Gracie PLUS, your negative

Gracie

PLUS, your negative paragragh is waay longer than your positive. Just saying. It sounds like such a wierd movie! i would never watch it thanks for the review! however I would just like 2 know what the problem is with fictional books? I think they are awesome!! Julie, I hope this correspondence is received in manner in which it is offered. I too am a parent of children who frequent this site. I have seen things that I am less please with and things that I have been overjoyed to see shared among you young souls. Regarding this line of conversation I have this to add. First, I become very concerned when anyone uses the possessive to identify, a prophet, the commandments, a church or anything dedicated to God. These things, people and places, like we ourselves are HIS not ours. As a matter of fact, the only time the people of Israel lost the Ark of the Covenants is when they thought they owned it and used it for their purposes. This is true of our children and when we seek to turn them into automatons they will break away from us with alarming veracity. Paul makes an effort in Romans 13-15 to discuss how we believers should treat each other. In 14:1 he advises that we do not spend effort discussing disputable matters. These are Julie: Do you and your family live under a rock? What does conforming to the world mean to you? Does looking at a picture of a boy and girl disturb you so much that you cannot allow your children to look at it? Do you not let your children see you and your husband kiss? Do you force them to stay in their room of white washed walls and read nothing but the Bible? The parables of Jesus were fiction and he said: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, gracie against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6-12 KJV. I stress high places with you here; you never specified what to you meant wickedness and bad images and ungodly ways. If this non-threatening website; full of tales of Jesus love and testimonies of his gracie offends you, you are not searching for what is noble and pure and loving; you are searching for something that you can control completely. I feel sorry for you My parents would NEVER let me watch this one; even if I wanted to. Parents are smart. SOME TIMES!! Aw man I was so looking forward to seeing this movie, but I guess I m not going to see this movie. It doesn t sound like a movie I would normally want to watch. Thanks for the review!! The problem here is boiling down to weather it s ok to read I agree it is. For one thing, the parables were fiction. But if us adventists were to be SO strict of reading fiction, we would have to be home schooled, cause schools have novel studies and Shakesphere: which are fiction. I agree that not all fiction is appropiate to read I m hinting mostly on the supernatural books, but the few parts that are fictcious and untainted should be enjoyed! For example Narnia, and works of classic literature such as the Illiad or The Odessy or something like that. Not ALL fiction is bad. I have read the book Beastly and enjoyed it. I have been planning to see the movie of this book, and I still do even after reading this piece. I agree in some ways it is not what God wants to see or hear at all, bur in other ways it shows us how God wants us to see not only ourselves, but other people. No matter where you go you will most likely hear a swear word, especially in movies. This movie shows us that inner beauty is much more powerful than outer beauty, and that we shouldn t judge people by their looks. kate 129 you should read the book first, and then tell your parents what you learned from it, and maybe that will show them that this is not just some teen flick. the guide people i signed up for an account with this username and it wuldn t let me bcuz my dad needed to send something to u. i didn t know what or where it was, so i couldn t find it. i also forgot my password, and lost it when my hard drive burned out. i tried to start another account with the same username, but it won t let me. how do i get into my old account? pls help. kate129 sry my comment wasn t clear. i meant if your upset about not being allowed to watch it after reading this website s review Julie i shuld prbly make 1 thing clear. i don t agree with you about the fiction part. fiction is perfectly fine for illustrations. Jesus used fiction, and every time you say an example of something to your kids, it s fiction. But it has it s purpose, like everything else. Ellen White was writing about novels, and things that have no meaning, or have a bad meaning.
