RE: [TruthTalk] The place of creeds in relation to truth

[ShieldsFamily]

I'm extremely thankful that I was not born in the 16th century and that we have freedom of _expression_ in our generation in this country. However, without spiritual discernment all of these blessings can become more of a curse.  Our daughter and her husband played The Passion of the Christ video for their two oldest children last night to see the New Year in. The grandchildren are 8 and 9yrs old.  The boy says he likes violence [because the kids he runs with at their Christian school are all into this Pokemon Japanese animation that is full of it].  However, the 9yr old couldn't handle the slow motion violence and they had to turn it off with her in tears.  I understand they are well meaning but the whole thing saddens me because IMO the movie has little to do with the reality - [much of the screenplay being gleaned from some mystic nuns] and my belief is that God didn't leave us with a physical 'image' of Himself for a good reason.      Very sad.  With deeper maturity in Christ comes greater wisdom.  Izzy
