Violence: None. Sexuality: None. Other: The movie contains several elements that some Christian parents may find offensive, although the film does not necessarily present them in an offensive way.
The R-rated content in the Bible suggests that there is a time, place, and manner in which Christians not only can confront and engage such material but should. Many of the most powerful war films are understandably rated R. To water-down or sugarcoat the grim reality of war would be untruthful and dubious.
Sex, Romance & Nudity. Glimpses of bare minion bottoms and the top of young Gru's butt. Gru is shown in his villain underwear. Three Tower of London guards are hypnotized to strip down to their boxers and dance/sing to the song "Hair," slapping each other on the behind.
The Bible never comes right out and says what to do with movies. Moses didn't bring back a commandment that said, “Thou shalt not watch any R-rated film (unless thine film be titled Passion of the Christ).” Jesus never explicitly spoke about Hollywood.
They can do far more than entertain—they can wrestle with deep philosophical and ethical themes and provide insightful social commentary—but these additional functions don't mean they can't also be enjoyed. Christians do not need to feel guilty about or ashamed of enjoying a great and exciting film.
Nothing in the Bible unquestionably deems video games inherently sinful. But Christians should prayerfully consider whether or not or to what degree they should play video games.
Christianity. Some Christians take issue with tattooing, upholding the Hebrew prohibition. The Hebrew prohibition is based on interpreting Leviticus 19:28—"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you"—so as to prohibit tattoos. Interpretations of the passage vary, however.
In Matthew 5:28-29, He said, “Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away” (NIV). Put bluntly, people who watch horror movies primarily for erotic thrills should repent.
In Abrahamic religions, eating pig flesh is clearly forbidden by Jewish (kashrut), Islamic (halal) and Adventist (kosher animals) dietary laws. Although Christianity is also an Abrahamic religion, most of its adherents do not follow these aspects of Mosaic law and do consume its meat.
Ephesians 4:29 states, “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.” Proverbs 10:19 says, “Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.”
Aside from China, Lebanon will be the only other country that has decided to ban the Minions. Lebanese social media users are not reacting kindly to this news. People on Instagram and Twitter are enraged by the continuous censorship of movies.
The creator of the Minions explained the reason behind the lack of females in their population back in 2015 – and it's not what you might think. Talking to The Wrap, Pierre Coffin said, "Seeing how dumb and stupid they often are, I just couldn't imagine Minions being girls."
Teenagers following the #gentleminions trend have been accused of making noise and throwing things during screenings. A staff member at one venue told the BBC they wanted to ensure the experience was not spoiled for younger children on their first cinema trip.
One of the key foundations in Christianity is love. We are called to love God and to love our neighbors. While watching television shows, we can look for love. We can watch for characters treating each other well, providing acts of service for one another, and modeling good values.
The movie has a mixed worldview. There are positive allusions to Christian faith, plus some pro-family content, but they're mixed with two agnostic statements. JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 contains lots of very strong violence. It also has some strong obscenities.
Stealing is generally considered sinful behavior. If you are watching free movies, say on Youtube, which finance their “freeness” through ads, you're perfectly good. If you mean that you're illegally watching copyrighted content on some pirate site, then, yes, that's stealing.
If you're confident in your ability to do so, then there's nothing that speaks against listening to rap music, even as a Christian. The key takeaway here is this: Listening to rap music is acceptable, even if the lyrics are bad. However, having your lifestyle influenced by sinful rap lyrics is not acceptable.
Christians are allowed by God to drink alcohol, but we are forbidden to get drunk. “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5:18; also see Proverbs 20:1, 23:20, Isaiah 5:22).
“The Christian has freedom to eat meat without it being a question of conscience. In fact, not only can they do it, they are blessed when they do it and the source of the meat is not really an issue in the New Testament,” Jamison says. “We are allowed to eat meat from any type of animals.
Christian references are minimal: one family are churchgoers. There are references to the game Dungeons and Dragons being demonic, but this is minor. For those sensitive to such issues there are a few gay characters within the team, but this is incidental and not a key plot point.
Can Christians read/watch Harry Potter? Christians can read and watch Harry Potter without it becoming sinful and learn good morals from it. However, when consuming the series you must use discernment and be on guard for what you are allowing into your life.
Since the Bible doesn't address Halloween, many Christians liken the celebration to other moments where the Bible discusses witchcraft, sacrifice, and worldly behaviors. The Bible contains various teachings on how to behave or interact with the world's troubling celebrations.
My obvious answer to this question is YES ABSOLUTELY! Most women desire to feel beautiful and feminine, and I believe this is how God created us, especially when it is driven from the inside out. Look at Queen Esther – it was her beauty paired with her bravery and boldness that literally saved the people of God.
The Christian faith does not promote or encourage divorce. It does not casually condone divorce or take it lightly. But it does allow it in certain circumstances.
The church provided guidance on this in 1983, stating, “The Church earnestly recommends the pious custom of burying the bodies of the dead be observed, it does not however, forbid cremation unless it has been chosen for reasons which are contrary to Christian teaching” (Canon 1176).
