Are there any Star War fans here? If so do you ever feel like your Christian walk is kind of like being a Jedi? I do a bit. But have not really wanted to say anything on here because some people get bent out of shape about stuff. But anyway Jedi's try to not allow themselves to be controlled by their emotions. They teach that hate and fear is the path to the Dark Side.  They calm their emotions by focusing on the Force. They do not seek revenge on others.  I try to live my life this way. Though I fall short of the part of not allowing your emotions to control you.  

If no one agrees with me I understand. If you think I am somehow wrong for having such a interest in Star Wars I understand that too.   I just wan to know if any other Christians feel as I do. Like we are Jedi! :vader:

I'm into Sci Fi, so yes I like Star Wars.

After a fashion, but it is not exactly Biblical. God never condemns emotions. God Himself had a few emotional outbursts - in both Old and New Testaments. 

But of course, not all emotions are negative - being moved by compassion often involves emotions overshooting reason.

But actually, burying emotions is more in line with New Age teaching - Nirvana and all that.

Now, you could use the Jedi stuff as a pseudo-example to help guide you, I think. It is not emotions that you are putting down or burying - it is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life that you are crucifying. So it's different. But I can appreciate applying the analogy!

Are you sure you focus on the Force?

No no no. That is not what I mean really. As a Christian I focus on Jesus. I just meant that the Jedi focus on the Force kind of like I focus on Jesus. I realize that saying this stuff is going to seem strange to others which is why I have kept it to myself.  I just seem similarities between the Jedi and the Christian.

Were you aware that the creator of Star Wars is an occultist?  I'm not saying it makes you or anyone who watches it bad... but most definitely his idea of "the Force" is not a godly one. 

Well I'm not saying that the Force in Star Wars is God.

I like the Star Wars movies but will in no way compare it to my Christian walk. It's a movie and was created to entertain nothing more.

I am a huge fan, seen every one of the movies in the first weekend of their showing.  The wife and I will be seeing Rogue Squadron at that OmniMax!  It will be amazing! 

I like your analogy of the jedi vs the Christian. The Jedi are a force for good and devote their lives to the service of others, is this not what a Christian should also be?

There is also a battle going on in this world of light vs dark, and as in the Star Wars movies, the dark often wins the battles but the light wins the war. 

Great thread, just a little fun to lighten the mood around here!  Thanks for making it

I know... I really do ... I don't want to offend you or anyone... just sharing that little bit of info in case people didn't know.

 

No I'm not offended. I know what I said is going to sound like I've join some strange cult or something. LOL

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
