[QUOTE="Zaymer, post: 75716451, member: 432186"] There is only so much time in a day. There is only so much time in a life. Question being: how best should that time be used? The most important question to answer regarding the usage of time is whether one believes in a reality beyond bodily death, and if so how does one best secure a 'good end' and avoid a 'bad end'. Christians certainly believe this and further that there are limitations on activities in order to achieve a 'good end'; remember the parable of the wide and narrow gates. Art-culture mediums (books, games, images, movies, music, etc) are forms of expression and transmission for emotions and ideas and can inspire one positively and/or negatively. Now then, it should be clear that we live in a culture-society of consumption, and that we are being inundated with tidal waves upon tidal waves of art-cultural content/works beyond which any person could ever possibly hope to experience all of, and indeed frankly much of it being of rather dubious quality (both artistically as well as morally) anyway. How should the Christian engage with art-culture? What does the parable of the wide and narrow gates mean in this context? How does one properly determine which content/works are beneficial or detrimental to the Christian walk? What is the proper nature of beauty? [MEDIA=youtube]bHw4MMEnmpc[/MEDIA] What are the best explicitly Christian works of all time? Can a catalog of the best works for a Christian to experience be made? What might be included? (Even including those perhaps not explicitly Christian, accounting for artistic quality, but also limiting based on redundancy/time expense too) [/QUOTE]
