In a halloween thread, there was this quote by SFIC:



A couple of other folks chimed in and agreed, yea indeed, acting is bad...

av1611jim said,


Rufus1611 said,


BUT THEN, just a few threads later, SFIC chimed in on a movie thread:



So, sfic, if actors are hypocrites, and "pretending to be someone you're not" is an abomination, how can you recommend a movie? Aren't you, by your own actions, causing a brother to sin?

You can't have it both ways.

The answer to your question is NO. I have yet to see an actor who stars in the movies that even shows signs of being a brother in Christ.

Ron: go to this link.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christians_in_entertainment_and_media

You will find many, many Christian actors, actresses, singers, atheletes, and etc. from A to Z.

Granted, the non-Christians outnumber the Christians, but we are gaining on them! :godisgood:

 

[standingfirminChrist]

But, if you look at the list of movies or shows they are in, their lives speak much different than the profession. Many claim to be Christian but only have a form of godliness. Many say they are Christian only to get support.

 

[Jim1999]

Well, I am off to the pub. Don't worry, I won't be drinking beer. Who will notice anyway? They will all be drunk, and noone will even see me..........and maybe go to the moving pictures before going home. Should be an ok picture cos none of the blokes claim to be Christians...oh, they may be methodists, but they ain't Christian Christians, so it is ok, I can't mislead them.

Sonds like a lot of fundamentalist double-talk to me.

Cheers,

Jim

SFIC,

You left out the quotes (your own) from the OP! Here they are:

Hypocrisy!

What is a Hypocrite? A pretender; a false professor; insincerity. The Greek word hypokrites referred to a play actor who wore a mask to represent an identity other than his own.

A parent who allows his or her child to wear masks depicting them of being or representing anyone other than who that child actually is, is condoning hypocrisy in that child.

The OP question is:

So, sfic, if actors are hypocrites, and "pretending to be someone you're not" is an abomination, how can you recommend a movie? Aren't you, by your own actions, causing a brother to sin?

How can you recommend a movie if you feel that acting is hypocrisy? Isn't that condoning hypocrisy by your own estimation? And isn't it hypocrisy on your own part by speaking out against it, yet engaging in it?

SFIC,

How can you recommend a movie if you feel that acting is hypocrisy? Isn't that condoning hypocrisy by your own estimation? And isn't it hypocrisy on your own part by speaking out against it, yet engaging in it?

Bingo. SFIC has been trapped by his own words.

 

[av1611jim]

Bingo. SFIC has been trapped by his own words.

Oh GOODY!

Call in the vultures to devour the flesh of our brother!

Yippeeeeeeee!


Shame on you all.

 

[tinytim]

Don't look at it that way... Look at it as tough love.
Pointing out a flaw in one's logic and theology is the first step to helping them understand God better.

I think we all like and love SFIC. We may disagree, but I consider him my brother.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

We Christians are one of the worst groups for 'killing our wounded'.

When someone makes a mistake, our job is to lift them up, not to kick them while they're down. :godisgood:

 

[mcdirector]

OK, Bitsy, you are right... I forgot fetchin' is a woman's job!!! :tongue3:

Tim, you are are in deep weeds now brother!
