End of The Spear, homoexual activist stars.

Thanks for posting this, I just tuned in!

 

I just tuned in and It is disgusting that Mr Allen is promoting gay marriage

 

Of course you will should we be surprised...

 

I honestly don't get it: You avoid a film (and argue against others that don't share your view) because it has an actor who is a gay activist, although nothing in the movie itself promotes homosexuality - yet you have no problem watching a show like Larry King Live, where the same actor appears, and homosexuality is promoted in the show.

What's wrong with this picture? How is the first wrong, but the second isn't?

 

Did I just hear what I thought I heard??

original stated by Chad Allen:

 

natters asks a good question. Why is it OK to watch Chad Allen on "Larry King Live" but not in "End Of The Spear"?

 

I was more interested in what Dr. Mohler had to say on Larry King, personally, and I believe he gave a good testimony for Jesus Christ.

Now to answer your question, let me try to explain it to you. Chad Allen was being himself on Larry King. Chad Allen was not portraying a Christian on Larry King. Chad Allen, whose personal life is an affront to Almighty God, portrays a Christian in the movie.

What is being forgotten here is very simple: Chad Allen did not seek the role of playing Nate/Steve Saint in the movie.

It was the other way around. Christians sought him out to play the part of a Christian martyr, based on an article they read in a gay magazine.

If you can't see what is wrong with THAT picture, the BIG picture, then I can't explain it to you. But if you ask the Lord to explain it to you, the Holy Spirit will reveal it to you, if you really want to know the answer.

 

As I said before, I wonder what a supposed christian company is doing reading a gay magazine anyway?

 

I agree, and I can buy that. I wish people were posting more about what Mohler said on TV and less about what Allen said on TV, though.

So it's OK to watch a homosexual be a homosexual on TV, but it's wrong to watch a homosexual pretend to be a martyr in a movie, but only (or maybe especially) if so-called Christians ask the homosexual to pretend to be a martyr in the movie?

This kind of reply is one of the reasons that I love the internet so.

 

So, as a Southern Baptist, do you agree with Dr. Mohler?

 

So, as a Southern Baptist, do you agree with Dr. Mohler? </font>[/QUOTE]I absolutely agree with his statement at the end of the show re: the gospel, and with his stance against homosexual "marriage", and with his statement that there's no need for a Christian to see the Brokeback Mountain movie (I think that's the name). I only caught the end of the King show so he may have said something earlier that I would disagree with.

If so, he's probably right.

 

I concur with Bunyan 100%. While the issue of the bully pulpit is real and needs to be dealt with, the movie itself appears to be a worthy of viewing, and I therefore plan on seeing it. I should not have to face persecution from other Christians for doing so. Neither should I persecute other Christians who refrain.

 

I saw the commercial for the first time last night, does look good.

 

I found out a long time ago that God's methods are as important as His message. I also realized that ol'slough foot is constantly working to corrupt both the method and the message. Folks here on this thread are a mile wide and a foot deep because that corruption has tainted their position.
I submit that our Saviour was a fighter. He was one who would not submit. He fought many battles. He fought the culture of the day in which He lived. He fought the religious crowd publically by speaking the truth and naming them open graves and vipers. He fought against the powers of darkness by healing and raising the dead. He fought against His own desciples calling them "Boanerges" and "Satan" himself. He fought against the trafficing merchants who wanted to steal from the people at the temple. He battled against the devil with absolute finality, costing His own blood, defeated the devil, sin and the grave on the cross. He didn't preach all love and remember that God can and does hate and love the sinner at the same time. One more thing.....there is a difference in sins. Sinning against the Authority of God was different than sinning against the Holiness of God.
A simple study on the subject in scriptures will enlighten thee.

Here is a copy of an email I received today from a good friend in Grand Junction, CO--it is a letter from her pastor, concerning the movie "End of the Spear".

Calvary Bible Church is the name of the church.

Boanerges was not used by Jesus to fight against His disciples. Boanerges was the surname of James and John, given to them by Jesus, but it was not to fight against them.

Mark 3:17 And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

 

Actually, their surname was Ben Rgaz, which is translated Son of Rage or Son of Thunder.

Boanerges is the Greek transliteration of that name. But since they were Jewish, their surname would have been in the Hebrew/Aramaic form.

 

I am very disappointed to hear about the homosexual elements involved in the making of the movie.

Nevertheless, it has been my experience that God can use anything, and I mean anything, to bring glory to Himself.

David's sin with Bathsheeba brought Solomon and ultimately Christ through the birthline. Jacob's life was full of deception and trickery and God used it all to continue the line to Christ.

God even spoke through a donkey. If he can speak through a donkey, he can speak through a movie that has a homosexual in the lead role. He may even through the role and the relationship with the Saint family speak to the actor.

My family will see the movie. We will glorify God in the wonderful story it portrays.

I invited my pastor to see the movie with me. He is probably unaware of the homosexual elements as well, but I will still take he and his wife if they would still like to go.
