  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

What would Jesus watch?

What would Jesus do? I was thinking about that very same thing. What if Jesus went to the movie theater? What would he think about some of the movies that are in the theaters now? Would he be happy with some of the family films that are out there? I was thinking would he even watch some of the films and tv shows that are out now. I have an issue with watching movies and tv shows because of their content and because of my obsessive thoughts as anything can be a trigger. What shows or movies would Jesus object to? What shows or movies would Jesus watch that would coincide with His word? I suspect that it would be rare. By the way, could you name any specific shows and would a show like "Little House on the Prairie" or movies like "Monsters, Inc." have any content that is offensive or ungodly? Or would he rather that no one have a tv or go to the movies based on his words? I don't want to say that movies and tv are sinful, because I don't believe that they are sinful in themselves, but some of the content is sinful because it seems to glorify sin. It sounds like a silly bunch of questions, but I am just curious because I want to be discerning in my tv and movie watching.

I think Jesus will watch many shows, with the sinners, for the purpose of being able to turn the sinners from their sins.

He, after-all, ate with the tax collectors and sinners. And the kind of topics these sinners talk about during the meal, Jesus will have to listen.

The responses have taken a couple of different directions. The OP seems to actually be asking, "What programs would Jesus enjoy? What programs would Jesus find entertaining?"

I doubt very seriously that He would enjoy any of them or find any of them entertaining.

I think the posts saying Jesus would watch them in the company of those He wanted to reach are probably correct, however.

I think Jesus would dig the humor in Commando.
