Hi,
Indeed it is commendable to note that Christians are producing movies to sow the seed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and even to expose the "works of darkness" which are depicted openly in movies to deceive, distort, and ultimately to destroy the truths of God's word and issues relating to holiness, righteousness and godliness which is much sought after by God. In fact, Father God has to send His beloved Son Jesus Christ to die at the cross of Calvary to establish and restore God's righteousness and to dethrone self-righteousness in mankind. How dare we undo God's righteousness by teaching, supporting and endorsing the works of the flesh which are always in opposition to the inner workings of the indwelling Holy Spirit by compromising God's standard! The Bible emphatically says,"Know ye not that ye are the temple of the Holy Spirit and your body are not your own." We do well to make a clean cut in our lives ie, to be worldly or to stand on the Word of righteousness. We have no objections in the making and showing of Christian movies to point them to Jesus and Father God. But we strongly object to the use of magical performances that may send wrong messages to the world that it is OK for Christians to dabble in magic whether it be black or white. Now, what does the Bible teach about Christian liberty? Yes, that we are free to do anything even though it may be legitimate and if by our actions we cause Christians to stumble we are not walking in love and it can be offending. Please take heed of the stern warning of our Lord Jesus in Jn 17:2 about offending His little ones. May I know what are your views re live magical performances entertainment? Please put your finger where it is needed most to raise up a standard against the "enemy" lurking around. Let's return to God and do it His way! For His glory,
