Jesus And The Apostles Were Not Actors by davidinchrist(m): 3:31pm On Aug 02, 2020
Jesus and His apostles were not actors, and God doesn't give anyone the GIFT of "acting". No need to ACT sins to convert anyone; it's a great level of self-deception to commit sins in order to convert sinners. Faith comes by hearing God's Word, not by watching Religious-whitewash Films or Dramas.

No need to ACT immoralities, idolatry, murder, violence, lies, sexual lusts, and so on before we proclaim the Gospel. The scripture says, "Preach the Word" 2 Tim. 4:2, NOT to ACT it.

God doesn't necessarily need things of the World, mastered by the devil for His work. Another word for "ACTOR" is actually HYPOCRITE. And Jesus did warn people not to be hypocrites (acting holy). Matt. 23.

It all boils down to the LOVE of Money and Popularity after the order of FALSE Prophets/Pastors/Church founders. Obviously, these Actors are after Money and the things of the World, NOT on Christlike Righteousness nor the Kingdom of God.

Christian Acting or Films have done great harm to believers today. Lots of IDOLATRY in them; lots of FALSE images of Jesus in Churches and homes of people. Some even bow down to worship these images of "actor-jesus(es)". And MANY of these actors are far from being SAVED in real life themselves; living in gross Sins. Others that seem saved by "appearance and words" are terrible slaves of Mammon, Men and the World, which make them worse off.

Alas, many professing Christians today are not carefully studying the Bible, but rather busy watching Christian films/music, Empty STORIES and Songs of Money-centered, honour-seeking Religious Actors/Musicians, whose hearts are far from the Cross and Reality of Christ's Life but Money.

Although, I perceive acting is literally of the World with maybe some sort of good uses for learning and others too, but adding some Religious Whitewash to it doesn't make it Christian.

The same goes for other Christian Entertainments: Christian Rock/Rap/Fuji (Music), XMas, Easter, Christian-Comedy, etc. I can't imagine Jesus in any of these Religious Entertainments and Traditions of Men. Going deep down, it's all ROOTED in the Worship and LOVE of Money/Material things: the spirit of the "Antichrist".

Besides, what do you call the Spirit that is "unrepentant" and takes Sins lightly; serves Money and Men; makes JOKES about serious heavenly things; makes Money using the Name and Gospel of Christ?

I think we know the answer, except we're 'still' terribly FOOLED by Men.

We've got to Fear God, Repent and turn away from these "interesting" tools of the devil, in order to please God instead of Men, and have Eternal life.

2Tim.3.1 - But MARK this: There will be TERRIBLE TIMES in the "Last days".

2Tim.3.2 - For men will be LOVERS of themselves, LOVERS of MONEY, boasters, proud, blasphemers...

2Tim.3.4 - ... haughty, LOVERS of "pleasure" RATHER THAN lovers of God,.

And FINALLY:
2Tim.3.5 - having "a form of godliness" but DENYING its power (bearing the Cross of Christ). Have "NOTHING TO DO with them."(AVOID them by ALL means).

May the Lord Jesus bless you.

2Pet.2.3 - In their greed they will make up CLEVER LIES to get hold of your MONEY. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction is on the way.

Titus 1:16 KJV
They profess that they know God; but in WORKS they DENY him , being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
