What was wrong with the passion? The Bible is full of violence and crimes. Its apart of living in a fallen world. The doctrine of Hell is very violent, therefore because it is true, I must come to the conclusion not all violence is bad. Violence and pornography are not on the same stage. Violcence has more complexity and degrees to it than lust. And there is nothing wrong with a rated R movie in theory. It all depends on the content. Schindler's list is a beautiful and tragic movie. Christians are given a degree of liberty to see worldly things. I enjoy watching Fraiser for example, but if I ever had kids they would not be allowed to watch it. I'm an adult, they are children. I can use discernment better than they can. I am smarter in this way. Use common sense. I know there isn't much of that at urbana-Champaign, I guess thats why we in the Springfield U of I campus got the vote on the board of trustees last year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552691836518478095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004780183194129162.post-75863288030712804172007-09-09T15:57:00.000-05:002007-09-09T15:57:00.000-05:00Susan, you must back up your claim that the media ...Susan, you must back up your claim that the media only portrays senseless violence.Aerikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06757043033204620563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004780183194129162.post-92122153904592754802007-09-09T08:42:00.000-05:002007-09-09T08:42:00.000-05:00I've listened to WotM radio for so long it kind of...I've listened to WotM radio for so long it kind of makes me sad I can almost imagine how Todd would defend himself. Something about how it is necessary to see how really "evil" we are, how infinitely "good" God is, letting Jesus suffer so immensely. Thus, the violence glorifies God.<BR/><BR/>According to him, 6 year olds are the perfect demographic for scary stories about satan and hell, and telling about these things you can be as graphic as you like, as long as the violence or horror somehow pertains to "glorifying God". Whatever appears "good" to Friel, seems to be the defining factor. The doublethink is strong in this one.<BR/><BR/>Cheers to the webmaster, I've been pondering about starting a WotM-critical site for ages now :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876096255676492431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3004780183194129162.post-54068506336227258432007-09-08T16:18:00.000-05:002007-09-08T16:18:00.000-05:00There is no comparison with the horrific truth of ...There is no comparison with the horrific truth of the death of Jesus Christ and the films that protray senseless violence in terrible grotesque detail. Jesus gave up His life willingly to be the ultimate sacrifice for me, you and the rest of fallen man. It is a testiment to how horrible our sin really is. You are grasping at straws to find something wrong with Mr. Friel because of your hatred for Christians who speak the Truth and try to point others to the way of eternal life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
