How is this such a successful movie?
Posted On March 23, 2018
Loyal Encourager: Greetings in Jesus Home safely We thought it would be nice to go to the movies as a family. I was super frustrated as we brought our 6 year old daughter and it was very violent- multiple deaths, help from a goddess and mans hope in technology. How is this such a successful movie? This world is not our home. It's hard to even live on it anymore. Encouragement appreciated About to rest Thanks for letting me dump my thoughtsRe: My Brother What can I offer you in encouragement. I think it was a proper perspective that helped me to deal with living in the world. The world has a savior but the world is not meant to be saved. It is at enmity with God. It is reserved for destruction. We were commanded to preach the gospel and not to save the world. Jesus did not bring peace but division. The more alienated we are from the world the closer we are getting to God. There is nothing new under the sun, the nature of man has not learned from all that history, which is why christians are to die to that nature and become a new creature, with a new nature, the same as Christ which is contrary to that of the world. A fish out of water... We can not condone it, but accept and acknowledge it as rebellion and disobedience to God, and pity those who choose the world and its nature over that of God, for when the day appointed for its destruction comes so will those of its nature be destroyed with it. Perhaps deep down that sorrow and despair is really for lost, like watching a toddler walk into quicksand and you are not able to warn them away no matter what you say or do. Thank God He is God, the judge and savior, the just one. Be encouraged by the nature you are now, though we be many members but one body, that body in the person of Christ was also hated and persecuted by the world. Pilgrim
