Hello Smitha and others, In my opinion it is not a sin to watch movies. But, we must avoid watching films if it leads us to sin. As long as you are a strong person to withstand the temptation which the sexually explicit scenes give you, you can watch it. But, if you are a weak person who can easily be tempted with these sort of scenes, it is better to avoid watching them.
Love, Sibi --- I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me. (Phil 4:13) __________________________________________________ Sibi Joseph Ahmedabad, India Tel: 079 685 7974 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 18 Dec 2001 08:24:47 kripa joy wrote: >dear joynetters,i'm a new believer in the Lord and i have a few doubts that i felt >that you all out there could help me out with. please forgive my ignorance in these >matters. is it wrong to watch English�movies ? i'm not talking of the blue ones, but >the ordinary movies like the Titanic, jerry Maguire , Miss congeniality and such >where you� sometimes have sexually explicit scenes in between the storyline whuich is >generally very casual and funny.are�we supposed� to sit with closed eyes through >these scenes Or avoid movies altogether OR is it okay if we do not let these affect >us and do not watch the movie for the sake of these and similar scenesplease excuse >me if i sound brash according to our Indian standards....�love in Jesus,smitha. **************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
