I love movies!!! I will go see any movie if I think it will be good.

I have no problem going to watch a movie that is not filth. My best friend and I are big fans of action movies, when theres a good one you will find Rusty and Martha in the front row.

One person said they are not going to pay money to watch a clean movie in one room while in the next room there is filth.

My apologies, but I really can't understand or respect this type of thinking. Way too much looking for something to condemn, and not enough "checking the plank in your own eye" for my taste. The Holy Scripture speaks about those who look for evil everywhere (busybodies).

As for movies, we rarely go. Most of it is garbage, and high priced to boot. But, if there is a good, clean one, then we will go and support it.

I'll watch pretty much anything that looks as though it's a good plot. Our society determines what words are "bad", and going by this logic, there is no such thing as an inherently "sinful" or "bad" word... our society determines that. Beyond that, I'll go see anything from comedy to drama to horror to sci-fi... if it looks like it will be an interesting movie. I don't see much difference in reel violence compared to real violence, except that real violence is scarier... Last movie I saw was the Amityville Horror just last week... went to see it with my wife, and I thought it was a pretty good movie.. it's supposed to be based on a true story, too.

I remember one time I went to see a movie ( think it was called Time to Run ) and it was showing at the movie houses..... and a friend of mine could not go see it, cause his church considred it a sin to go to a movie house.....

later on, the same movie, was out for rent, and we went to my friends church to watch it in the basement of the church..... that was not a sin.

the differance?

at the movie house it is a movie

in the church it is a film,

both places were dark,

both places did not have girls and boys separated,

the movie house had comfortable seats,

the basement of the church had folding chairs.

dong know why it was a sin in one place and not in another....

The real sin is groups of people oppressing their peers in the name of religion.

Isn't that like a cult? Telling somebody how to when to and what to?My wife has a problem with scary movies. I don't have a problem with scary movies. They are bad for her because they give her nightmares. They are not bad for me because I sleep like a baby after any movie. It would be a sin if I forced her to watch something scary. It would also be a sin if she told me I cannot watch that.

Religious people cause people to sin by laying big fat trips on them

Bro Dave, you got it!

Part of the reason the "world" dislikes the religious part of society is because of the ones that claim EVERY thing is sinful. They remind me of the Puritans, yeah they may have started the building of America but they also brought over plenty of other things that are not Biblicial.

You can't wear bright colors, don't laugh don't sing.....don't, don't don't. Makes you wonder if they read the same Bible. I keep reading about the joy we find in the Lord. The Apostles worried about peoples souls and yet also worried about the way people lived their every day life. But in all things they were to be glad and rejoice.

If we lived our lives that way and showed that to the lost just think how much easier it would be for them to see Christ living in us. Instead of being turned off by all of the extras that don't matter. What matters is Christ's death and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins, and trying each day to live in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord. Yes I know there are some things that are necessary but I'm not talking about that.

All of that other stuff is nothing but legalistic mumbo jumbo, and Christ and all of the Apostles spoke out against that kind of thinking!

I am sorry. I don't go to movie theaters anymore because i don't trust what could come up on the screen. Most movies in there, that seem to be clean, i am just not interested in watching them. Another thing, the only movie theater that is around here is just plain-old a horrible movie theater that is sick and wrong in every way. I don't remember ever hearing of a good movie there.

To be honest, probably the main reason i don't go is because i don't watch TV that often because i have problems with the temptation to watch something i shouldn't. Besides, i cannot find one true thing that i can agree with on the thing. A.K.A the Helevision. Even Disney has gone bad in most senses.

I am not about to tell someone they shouldn't go to the movie theater and i won't tell someone it is a sin to go. I jsut don't like to go myself.

[JesseB.]

I often refuse to go see movies. However, I have seen clean films in theaters. I just dont like movies as much as I used to....

Dont tell my dad...he'll freak.
