I don't know where you saw elongated manhood... Probably you are telling us about the porn you watch in secret... May God judge you by the standards with which you judged. If you have ever nursed even the slightest sexual imaginations then may hell fire be your portion. If you commit even the slightest sin from today pn ward then let hell be your portion.

As for me I choose the grace of Christ as my justification. Thank you. If you opened your brain you would see that I never encouraged people to watch, rather highlighted that some of the events has similar stories in scripture.

That's a whole much load of cursing oga. Kindly watch it. Even a defence of Jesus should not warrant that much, talk less of a defence of a TV show.

HigherEd:

I actually cut off Empire for that reason. First gay scene, I let it slide. Second gay scene I abandoned the entire series forever...

For someone like myself, my perfect way of relaxation is to watch a good movie or series if possible. But with the way Hollywood is going, it seems they have a plan to push all devout people off the ends of the earth by propagating scenes that would either offend them or turn them away from faith.
And many Christians are falling for it by withdrawing and withdrawing until there would be no where to withdraw to, while other Christians are swallowing up all Hollywood's content without remorse. It would get to a point we won't even be able to switch on the TV without having Hollywood's agenda blazing through the screen.

Reason, why I'm amazed when people like the OP are going after GoT itself. I tell you your sensitization would not work, and you would be more surprised when you realise your pastor is watching... What we need is Christians going into the entertainment sector and keeping it sane or making the needed changes to avoid the proliferation of sexual explicit content.

The Producers of Empire intends to make homosexuality normal, but it can never be.
I like the movie, more than fast forward those seems with a vengeance.

What happens to you when you keep soaking in things CONSCIOUSLY, which are bad for your spiritual and mental health as a Christian?

You are saying too much story.

Can you kindly delete Nairaland. Its a platform created by an Atheist biased against Jesus and Christianity. On this platform people insult Jesus and pastors so why are you still here?

Can you unsubscribe from your cable subscription because it does not glorify God and you sometimes encounter ungodly scenes in some of their programmes?

I find this GOT argument to be an interesting on,I have always said it 90% of people are only religious because it was inmbined in them fur ng childhood,if they were allowed to grow up and make their choice,the number would be far less than what we have today.
I'm not a christian,but I can totally relate to christian issues as I have been in such position.I have nothing against GOT,actually I don't even see it,I think series are time consuming,I'm not against anyone seeing it though,but whether you like it or not,whether you choose to believe or not going by the standards in your bible seeing such films has the potential to drive you away from God.
If I were a christian,and if I were certain that heaven and hell exists,I would have no business with anything that could potentially drive me away from God.
But the thing is most of u like I said are only christians or muslims because u were introduced into the religion not by your own accord but by circumstances of birth and the society you belong in,so this is a scenario where you are grow up and you have to choose to live you life in the way that pleases you or to live it the way the bible stipulates which may mean àvoiding the things you love to do,which of course includes the kind of music you like to listen to and the kind of movies you like to watch.
It is obvious to me that most of you christians do not believe in you bible 100% since at the end you end up doing things you want to do even when it is clear that it can potentially hurt your chances of going to heaven.

What is my concern sef,please if you are a GOT fan,continue to enjoy the series don't mind my homily

HigherEd:


I'm sorry to say but you are still not saying anything sensible.

My points

1)The violence narrated in the book Songs Of Ice and Fire(which was filmed as GoT) is smaller to the violence narrated in the Bible.

2) The sexual activities narrated in GoT is inferior to the sexual immorality narrated by the bible. In GoT a brother and Sister had sex which was the OP's point. But in the bible it was narrated of how two sisters raped their father.

So if GoT and Old Testament narrate both alarming scenes then where is the issue with GoT?

The issue with GoT comes from the explicitness of these scenes when it was converted into a film. Sometimes they showed what was more than necessary. You could easily decide to fastforward those scenes. Simple!

3) Are those sex Scenes good for a Christian? No, they aren't, I stated that earlier. And if you choose to avoid the movie for that reason then I respect your choice.

my dear, please leave them alone, that's how his likes are, and there will always be his likes. you were once like him, now you are fairer in discussions. this has been achieved through your diacussion with atheists, agnostics and other secularists. you are ahead of alot of them. there would always be his likes who would be unfair in discussions.

i am glad that you can now see for yourself how difficult it is for us athiests to have discussions with some of you, believers. and i am also happy that you have made the slight shift i am ok with. of course you have not abandon your faith, i am DO NOT THINK YOU EVER WILL NOR AM I LOOKING FORWARD TO YOU LOSING IT. I CERTAINLY AM NOT INTERESTED IN YOU LOSING YOUR FAITH, but atleast discussions with you is fairer than it was then. you and @joagbaje are the best christians we have here on NL. @ubenedictus too is another one.

Brother, you keep comparing the TV show to the Bible as a Christian, so i need to ask. The Bible is inspired by God, and for doctrine, instructions and corrections. Is this TV show inspired by God or for doctrine, instructions or corrections? When you read the Bible, it does not promote evil or lead people to practice the evil. On the other way, the movie industry i know promotes and 'glamourise' evil without indictment or shame or remorse. History is different from entertainment sir. Most of the place you are referring to in the Bible are history and not for entertainment. No normal person has an orgasm or new resolve to sin after reading them. You really can't say the same for the TV show. Even sinners here have compared it to pornography. Some have been led to practice what they saw, while much more have been subtly deadened to permit what they see as normal. Which of course is the aim of the prince, i know you know what prince.

Its a Porn Movie with a very nice story line. According to people wey don watch am

It's not a Porn movie, stop lying

asuustrike1:

But there are Christian movies especially the foreign ones. How many Christians watch them?

that's because it is not interesting to alot of people. people would naturally move to that which interests them. if you add intrigue to it, twists and turns, etc, people would watch. but your films do not have these things like the secular movies have. that's why people are not watching it.

but come to think of it: why should the movies that glorify god be, by nature, not as intruiging as the secular ones? and please don't say ''because the world hates god, and that satan is the ruler of the world''.

This is comparing apples to oranges really. The Bible refers to using the world without abusing it. Nairaland or any forum is for discussion, reaching out to people etc. Anyone can do these. It's now left for you, what you want to discuss or who you want to reach out to, just like in the real physical world. You don't commit suicide because your neighbours are atheist or thieves. Same goes for cable subscription. Some stations you may never tune in to, or subscribe. But watching a TV show, you don't have such flexibility, you watch what is presented. It's like blessing garbage and gulping it down. It will kill many, but some people will still digest and excrete. So the few that digest and excrete or vomit and survive can encourage everyone, let's take garbage with a lot of water.

And what do you want people to do with GoT lol.
I have stated my point on the first page of this thread as regard what Christians can do in the film industry.

What I'm against is someone somewhere using the hell card to blackmail people to hell fire when he himself is not perfect. It's not deeds that gives man eternal life its the grace of Jesus. And while a Man's spirit is redeemed at salvation. His soul is unrenewed. The process of transforming one's mind is a gradual encounter with study of the word of God...

That a man who gave his life today went to beer parlour to drink guineas to stupor is not good. But believe me, he has not lost his salvation. Going there as a preacher and shouting that he would go to hell for drinking guiness is a stupid thing to do.
Rather tell him the disadvantage and let the Holy spirit do the rest.

This is the last I'm saying on this thread!

quirus:

Yes, it may be true, but you only READ these in the BIBLE, not watch it with bated breath and ELONGATED MANHOOD as you do watching your so called"GOT". Brother, you better REPENT or HELLFIRE is waiting with gaping jaw for you.

How come this never affected me this way? I have seen all it and will downloaded the episode for this night.

The only thing i dislike is the men kissing themselves and woman doing the nonsense they do.

There was no actual sex except the naked girls.

The producers seems not to have any regard for the women bodies as they stripped even the Queen naked

You just prayed that someone should go to hell fire, but you are irked that someone else thinks people will go to hell fire. It is well oh.

Now that game of thrones is ending, will I qualify for heaven?

Hermes019:

All these theories u people come up with.
You are not their main audience after all how many if u pay to watch films in the cinema,they are making movies that their primary target audience would enjoy if you do not like the kind of movies they make Mount Zion is always there for you,other christian films are there too,better still open up ur own production firm and make the kind of movies u like.
Nigerians like to think they are so special,who gives a Bleep of what u think of gay people,nobody is making movies to convince you of anything you are the one who is expecting them to see things the way you see it

OFFPOINT COMMENT

I know he shíts everyday and uses those two hands of his to wipe his ass clean. Now every time he flushes it away, he obviously takes a good look. So that means that he sees his shìt everyday! Good. My questions are —

1. Does this mean he finds his shìt attractive even though he sees it all the time every day?

2. Is he attached to his shìt? If yes, does this implies he worships his shìt?

If the answers are no, then this means he shìts, flushes and walk away. In the same light, I watch GOT, enjoy the drama and walk away. If he think otherwise, let him come and drag me to his hell. Nonsense and ingredient.

This analysis is just out of sense

The pastor never said they'll go to hell. He said they'll stand in judgement. Please stop misquoting pastors.

Pastors who use the heads of stupid Africans with fake religions and prophecies are going to hell - except there is no hell!

Just look at the idiot spitting trash..... I'm not scared of hell.... I grew up in Nigeria, life here is almost equivalent to hell.
