Harry Potter out in Theaters

[PaladinValer]

hahahaha...clever!

What can I say? Monty Python is Anglican, and so am I!

I don't want to ruin how terrible it is...but not very true. Then again I'm very picky when it comes to that sort of stuff. Many people I know liked the film.

I really only liked the first two films myself for basically the same reasons, so I suppose we probably share that trait.

I think that the best review I read was Slate's where they called it "90210 with owls"

When will it ever end...

 

[LittleLambofJesus]

I.E. I take it wait for the DVD to come out

I will just wait for it to come out on Cable. Shouldn't be too long of a wait ehehe.....

What also floats in water?

Ax heads.

Sometimes.

 

[NorrinRadd]

If the Bible says to not lie and she lied, how could it not be a sin?

If it were universally a sin, why did that same Bible honor her for her actions, and portray them as an act of faith in God?

Also very small stones

and witches

It might be added that when Harry lies, usually there's a good excuse.

**SPOILER WARNING**

In the first book when he faces off with Prof. Quirrel in front of the Mirror of Erised, he lies to Quirrel when he is asked what he sees. Why? In order to prevent him from stealing the Philosopher's Stone. And it was a good thing he tried, because just a second later, he learned why Quirrel wanted it: it was because Voldemort was in possession of the professor and was going to use it to make himself whole again.

Of course, it didn't matter in the end; Voldemort knew Harry was lying through legitimens, but the fact remains that Harry had a choice: to lie and protect the stone or to tell the truth and fail in a great and noble duty.

Given the circumstance, he made the right choice.

Beginning to think my daughter shouldn't go see the movie. Sounds like it will be the "Eregon" debacle all over again (she still rants on that one whenever the movie shows up on TV!)

Does that justify her sin?
Are you saying it was okay for Rahab to lie?

If God honored it as an act of faith, why should we consider it "sin"?

She sinned regardless of her actions.
simply in this: "If you know what you ought to do yet don't do it, you sin"- James 4:17
She knew that lying was against the Ten Commandments, yet she did it anyway. Would not it be better to have trusted in God? After all, he never fails us.

Are you sure she did? She was not among the Isrealites when the commandments were given. And would not her motive have been a mitigating circumstance? Like when Christians hid Jews during WWII - was not a greater good attempted by their deceptions?

Wouldn't living among a people for a prolonged time include there customs?
Greater good, absolutely. Though I'm not familiar with the hiding of the Jews in WW2 so
So what everyone is saying is that she was justified by faith?

Rahab didn't live among them until after she lied about the spies.

It was definitely the weakest of the movies so far. So much left out, or changed from the book. But basically, it's just setting up the ending.

I did not care for the second book or movie, it kind of had that "bridge" feel to it as well

The Commandments only pertain to those under the Mosaic Covenant. She was not.

OTOH, the covenant of faith was in force before the Mosaic Covenant, and has always remained in force. Paul says in Rom. 14:23 that "whatever is not of faith is sin." Implicitly, at least, the converse is, "whatever IS of faith is NOT sin," and Hebrews 11 says Rahab acted in faith.

Would not it be better to have trusted in God? After all, he never fails us.

Since Heb. 11 says she acted in faith, don't you think it's safe to say she WAS trusting God?

 

[2 King]

ok so she was justified by faith.

 

[wiselife]

I went to watch the last movie with my niece. It was great fun

 

[itisdeliciouscake]

IMHO it was the best movie so far.

the first one is the only real competition.


4 and 5 were TERRIBLE. (especially 4, it left out the entire plot)

 

[Kristos]

I love 90210!

I like my zip code better....but rather not put it up on public forum
