We Are To Protect Our Souls

Have you noticed the vampire theme going on in cinema? Vampires are glamorized, and are made to seem harmless, vulnerable and beautiful. In the latest Twilight films, the love between Edward the vampire and Bella the human is seen as poetic and extremely romantic. She would do anything to be loved by him, so mesmerized by this young vampire, she wants to become one of them. Granted the vampires in the Twilight series seem nice. However this is not the true nature of what vampires actually are. Vampires, though not real, are satanic. They are people who drink blood, and are far from harmless. The bible condemns the drinking of blood. It can be said that there were vampires back in the time the bible was written. What were those who drank blood back then? They worshipped demons.
Demons are real. Though they want to remain hidden. But they are everywhere in the cinema. What in the world are the Saw movies? What sort of people would want to see other people being tortured? This is not entertainment. These supposed films(which I beg to differ) are corrupting our society.
I really feel Hollywood has gone over the top producing garbage. Films that glamorize excessive violence and torture is satanic. Is it any wonder that people find nothing wrong with abortion? Is it any wonder people are as violent as they are? We need to come back to the Cross, and honour films that honour Christ. What happened to the movies of old? The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston. The Robe with Richard Burton. The Bible with George C. Scott. The Passion of Christ was a great film, even though Mel Gibson fell( I still believe he is a Christian) portrayed the suffering of Jesus. Yes, folks His suffering was extremely horrendous. He didn't glorify violence, for violence sake, He showed us how much our Saviour loves us, by the gruesome death He embraced. But, that movie offended many people. Why? Because it was about Christ. Well, do you know what the Saw movies offend me. So do movies that glorify violence, and sex. I am outraged.
Movies with horrific images of demons and violence, linger on in the mind, haunting us in our dreams. Movies about zombies eating people, cannibalize the soul. We are to protect our souls, by what we allow into it. What did the Apostle Paul write? "Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are pure, whatever things are just, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, meditate on these things." (Philippines 4:8)
Many years ago I saw the first "Exorcist". The images of that disturbing film still haunt me. But it does point out the fact the demons do exist, and demons do desire to destroy us. They will not rest until they drag us to hell with them.
In point of fact, we need to collectively pray for those possessed by demons. It seems to me, that people possessed might appear normal. It only seems after the fact, when something horrible has occured that we know who they are.
Satanic movies can be used as portals to the human soul by demons. We need to constantly guard our hearts, entrust them daily to Christ.
We need to be careful the things we read. There are alot of demonic books disguised as harmless novels. To be safe, keep in the Word of Christ.
