Is that site a joke?

Please, it's just a movie, it's not a 'sin'. Next thread.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to why it would disturb you so much, considering it's merely repeating what Scripture says. I assume you looked up the Scripture references. So what exactly is so disturbing about it?

I looked up Mark 10:18 and Genesis 6:6...Mark 10:18 says nothing about God being upset with his creation....It is the scripture about noone being perfect. "Why do you call me good? No is good--except God alone"...Genesis 6:6 is taken out of context...The Lord was grieved that He had created mankind...but, Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord, just as Christians now find favor in the eyes of the Lord....Just my thoughts.....Looks like these people just made up a lot of stuff.

Its not the scriptures that disturb me. Its the heading. The scriptures are clearly taken out of context. We are not worthless in God's eyes. Nor does He regret His creation. He loves us so much that He gave His only Son that we may live. Its negative websites such as this one that turn nonbelivers away from the Lord.
I agree that, without God, we are headed for hell. That is a fact clearly stated by scripture....but we are not good witnesses if we tell people that God regrets creating us and that we are worthless. What is "good news" (gospel) about that?????

It doesn't appear that these points are aimed at Christians, but at unbelievers. So I'm still a little confused as to why you think the Scripture doesn't apply?

Romans 3:12 "All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one."

I'm not sure what part of that is unclear or out of context? It seems to me that the heading is saying exactly what the Scriptures say.

Perhaps you're just taking the heading out of context?

I agree that, without God, we are headed for hell. That is a fact clearly stated by scripture....but we are not good witnesses if we tell people that God regrets creating us and that we are worthless.

Scripture tells us that God was grieved that he had made mankind, and it also tells us that all men have become worthless because of sin. I'm really not seeing why you think someone would not be a good witness for quoting exactly what the Word of God says?

What is "good news" (gospel) about that?????

Why would you need to tell anyone the good news if you're not going to tell them the bad news first? Or is it considered a "turn off" for unbelievers to be told they are sinners these days?

I've got 20+ plus years wrapped up in this trilogy, God can't be that cruel.

well loser, your handle says alot about what you think of yourself. But that's beside the point. And that passage that you quoted is not really from Romans 3:12. That passage is from Psalms 14:1-3. And if we were worthless, why did God send the greatest thing of value to the earth to redeem us? It's obvious to me that he doesn't consider us worthless when you consider this evidence. And read the entire letter of the book of Romans and remember who it was originally adressing. You must learn to rightly divide the word of truth. Also, it's not a turn off to non-believers that you tell them they are sinners. What turns them off is people saying" God regrets making you." or "God'll kill you in a second." Those statements are what turn people off to God. What they really need to know about is Jesus.

Somehow I think this is an immature little kid posing as a Christian and baiting, as someone clearly pointed out. I think a Mod needs to deal with this guy.

Switch Radic · Nov 22, 2004

oh you must mean the first thing I said. well, if it seems like baiting, that wasn't what I was going for. I was simple pointing out that Loser for Jesus might actually see himself or herself as a loser and this is the wrong idea to have seeing that Jesus doesn't think of him or her as a loser at all. Sorry if it came off the wrong way. Maybe i should have said it differently the first time. As for the rest of the post, read it and read the Bible to see for yourself what I'm saying

The whole point of star wars is the redemption of the character of anakin skywalker.
episode 3 is going to be the darkest point in this character's life. The thing is, this is a story. And to fast from something like this is ludicrous because the whole point of fasting is that you are telling your flesh that your spirit is in control not the other way around. If you don't want to see the movie, then don't see it. It's a choice it's not something that you have to do. Fasting is usually associated with food, but it could be used for things like TV and other things. But a movie is a one time thing. It just doesn't work out well.

And after reading what you posted about the same sites idea of salvation, I have to say, I'm not the least bit surprised. It's people like these that give christians the reputation they have in the public's eye.

You are right on.
The 6 episodes show how a person born with great promise to be an asset to his society only to be taken by forces that seek to destroy his promise.
The last three or ah, first three :scratch:

, shows how unconditional love toward Anikin by Luke, his son, saved his life even though his body was ravished by his riotous living.
All 6 are great stories and should not be missed.

30 for me. Episode IV was the first movie I spent my own money on by going to a Theater 10 times to watch.
