What you’re just saying is foolish, has no bearing o nanything in this thread, beyond perhaps, what appears to be some need for yourself to denigrate the Bible.
Is it that you don’t think kids can be misled by propaganda.. or maybe you think Hollywood doesn’t make movies with leftist themes or is it that you don’t think there are many stories of conquest and violence in the Bible..? and what makes you think mentioning that our Great Book tells accounts of the struggles of the tribes of Israel would be ‘denigrating’ it in any way..? Since you made your comments, I guess I have a right to ask..no?
What has the fact that the Bible does indeed tell of the struggles of Israel, which was, is now and probably will be violent have to to with Avatar?
Propaganda is one thing, Avatar, it can be argued, is that and can be misleading. Not so with the Bible. Comparing the contents of the Bible to an arguable propagandistic movie is denigrating.
I guess I see your point. What I was responding to was how Cameron was portraying the soldiers as capable of only violence as a way of condemning them and by association our troops and more broadly all violence as morally unjust. The Sigourney Weaver character was always harping on this theme. I don’t agree so I mentioned the Bible to point out that violence can and does occur in defense of morality.
Violence in support of Right is not immoral. I can defend my family or home with violence and be morally right. The Bible is many things: The infallible Word of God, a history book, a guide to right living, a guide to seek out God.
But many people try to malign that book by cherry picking parts for protraying the Bible as ‘unjust’ or ‘immoral’ or ‘contradictory’, or ‘violent’.
You take care FRiend. And I do pray that you know Jesus as your Savior. In the end, THAT is all that really matters.
Thank you for your prayer. You take care as well.
