[QUOTE="NothingIsImpossible, post: 69292037, member: 376972"] Oh, if you read my past posts I don't defend the show. I watched it for awhile then felt conviction about it. Its way to overboard. None the less I said you abuse the word because you added your own extension onto what the verse said. For example we all know this verse: [URL='http://www.biblestudytools.com/john/3-16.html'][SIZE=5][B]John 3:16[/B][/SIZE][/URL] [URL='http://www.biblestudytools.com/john/3.html'] [/URL][URL='http://www.biblestudytools.com/john/3-16.html'][B]16[/B] For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.[/URL] Now if I say its saying God gave His only son so that anyone who believes in Him can shall be saved, as long as they listen to what their pastor says only. That would be wrong. Just as you said "not to entertain it and pridefully consider yourself able to "withstand" it.". It doesn't say that. Also you have to not specifically cherry pick verses. Such as often people bring up do not judge, but they ignore other verses that expand on that about things like correction/reproofing. Such as those about conviction. Which leads into other things. Like I knew one man who said I was a sinner because I chose to play video games that sometimes had blood in them. Yet this very person was into games that had sex and swearing. Though to be fair I am not saying we shouldn't point out others flaws in order to justify ours. But I am saying some people can get so aggressive about others flaws that they become judgmental and hypocrites instead of correcting/reproofing. The way you said what you did before shows aggression since people aren't listening to you. Its why its best to leave it in Gods hands if someone ignores correction. Not keep correcting them and become aggressive about it. Me, as I said I won't watch GOT, but I do watch The Walking Dead. My convictions about GOT were there, I have none about TWD though. I know my limits. And by that I mean I know if something (usually) is affecting me or not. Which is a good point in response to what you said also. The Bible says if we are being affected by something then we should be free from it. Maybe some who watch GOT are affected by it. Maybe some aren't.
