Do you think following Korean and American Entertainment is like slapping Jesus in the face?

My mom told me that Studying God's word and Watching kpop groups on Youtube is disrespectful to God and she said it's like slapping God and Jesus in the face

here are the bible Verses

John 18:22-23

Matthew 12:30

I think a good test for that is 'if Jesus came back while you were doing x,y or z, would you be ok with that or would you be convicted'?

Entertainment in itself is not inherently bad, but consider your mind a water pipe. If a water pipe becomes rusty then it influences everything that passes through it, even something as pure as water, similarly things of faith can be influences unknowingly by our mind depending on what we feed it.

That said, I enjoy a lot of entertainment and not a day passes where I don't want TV or listen to music.

It's a matter of the heart. You know your limits.

It's a form of entertainment, ultimately it's your choice to choose what you do with your time.

If you don't regret it when you get older, hope it was worth spending the time on entertainment rather than something more productive.

Do you mean studying God's word while watching kpop groups on Youtube?

That would definitely be inappropriate -- the kpop would draw you away from the study of God's word.

What is God saying?
Have you considered the affect Kpop is having on you? It seems your mum sees something wrong with it. Perhaps it is causing you to change in a un-Christian way?

Thinking about such questions will help you find God's will in this matter. Understanding God's will is the most important factor in finding the wisest way forward.

In peace

I’m not too acquainted with the Kpop world. Although it seems to ( and I can be wrong) cultivate an idol mentality among fans, I’m always about looking at the message of the songs and whether or not it’s actually “slapping God in the face”. Most times, secular music would address situations carnally, but not all gears towards carnal actions( singing about friendships, or being with someone you love, or your family, or having emotions). Music is there to relate, but it’s a matter of whether or not you want to relate to it.

My challenge, before turning on any music and being swayed by beats, research and read the lyrics, and then discern whether or not it’s anything that would hinder your Christian walk.
