Your opinion anyway.

Hollywood has always don this since it's conception. It was designed to spread the agenda of the Free masons. It helps them to normalize what would be considered abnormal in a sane world. There is a reason Simpson seems to always predict the future it's cos they tell People what they plan to do ahead of time through Simpsons. The Music Industry is the same and they all require Sacrifice..

You're right oh. Some of their movies made me terrified as a child. I can't even deal!!!

But then again, African parents will see everything wrong in Harry Potter and a host of other fantasy movies because To God be the glory wasn't added at the end of the movie.

You just made my day @the bolded.

Like it or not,
This guy is saying the Gospel truth.

Almost every movie out there promotes violence, sex, or the hero having an evil side, witchy side, or a double life.

Coming home, Nollywood has no goal; they recycle old scripts and hit on soft porn.

Talking about music, it's all naked people walking about singing rubbish.

The entertainment industry is shit bull.

Even your politicians/leaders are practicing witchcraft on top of your heads and you don't know.

Ur opinion, marvel and DC are still my best movie production I love so much.

GloriousGbola:


That was a trap question you see.

The narnia books were written by Cs Lewis. A devout Christians who incidentally was a former atheist

The lion the witch and the wardrobe is a straight up Christian allegory. Aslan is jesus. The witch is Satan. Aslan is sacrificed (crucified) for Edmunds non sin. Aslan dies and rises.

The Lord of the rings is an allegory for drug addiction.

90% of people will speak against this and other books/media without actually reading them.

It also spoils the message when people read the books and cannot find celebration of witchcraft but promotion of humanist values.

At the barest minimum the Harry Potter books are annallegory for nazis. The whole mudblood thing is nazi master raceing

The irony is that everything being said was also said about other taboo subjects like interacial marriage

I am sure white versions of this pastor would have also spoke out against star trek in the 60s.the first TV show where black women were not maids but in leadership positions.

I am an atheist but this is watery... you dont understand spiritual things as Christians do based on the codex of the religion. It is not acceptable in christianity to use such allegory as Narnia because it does not end up pointing to god in any way or the work of christ. It still ends as carnal entertainment. If Lewis wanted to preach christ, he should preach christ. This is why I have issues debating with you guys because you do not even understand your religion hence how would you understand why your religion is man made?

Ishilove:

The same Kobo that claims God put a curse on the institution of marriage? Lol. Maggie, be careful the kind of 'teachers' you admire, especially on the internet.

Don't mind kobojunkie, AmazonTopaz, Magnoliaa and all those arguing with you, it's funny how some people read without comprehending, the author clearly stated from the beginning of the article that he also watches marvel movies which means he likes them and he also said he is not saying people should not watch them, but what he is saying is people should guard their hearts about the information you receive from these movies, the power of media should not be underestimated, how would you explain the lady who sacrificed herself because of beyonce or the one who committed suicide because Michael Jackson died, Human beings are different, not because you can watch those movies and know they are fictional characters, people tend to idolize what they like and the media also helps in doing that, I personally watch all the marvel movies, horror movies, harry potter movies, sci-fi movies and so on, I like watching them, right from when I was a kid I always knew these were just scripts and should not influence me negatively, but I can't say the same for everyone, some people have been impacted negatively by these movies.

So I don't see the reason for the attack on the author of the article or on Ishilove, His message was clear, he was addressing Christians and not the general public of different beliefs, it is clear in the bible that we should not believe in sorcery, watch the movies if you want but guard you hearts not to believe in what goes against the bible, firstly if you are not a Christian you should not even be attacking him because the message was not even to you( mind your business), if you are a Christian and you are attacking him then you don't know the word of God(Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life - Proverbs 4:23).

Ishilove:
I was on Twitter when I saw 'Mount Zion' was trending. I thought the company had produced another movie, but alas it was something totally different. Joshua Bamiloye, one of the sons of Evangelist Mike Bamiloye, founder of Mount Zion faith Ministries and Mount Zion Television shared a series of thought provoking tweets about the increasingly dark and dubious content in movies, specifically Marvel movies that resonated with me because of the undiluted truth it contains for Christians.

If your attention span is a tweet long, this thread is not for you.

LoLz. Satanic panic part 3. Bwahahahahaha!

What a crazy/funny world we live in, first, they came into Africa to convince us that almost all about our culture is evil so that we can patronize what they brought, after buying all they sold, they went back with ours which they called evil, study it, and still sell it out to us. (I laugh in Swahili), this was same way some religions were condemning being a King in Africa, they say it's occultism, forgetting that one of the most beloved person in the Bible was also a king (I mean King Solomon), still went on to fornicate, having so many wives and concubines, now it has bounce back and a pastor of our time has been crowned a king, he is now looking for every means to justify his preaching. Who am I to judge those who produces and act movies, mine is to watch and get entertained, whatever meaning it gives to different individuals has nothing to do with me, afterall they told us it's a free world and we all have equal rights. All I can say is when you try to convince people that the good is bad, always remember that what goes around comes around (I don't blame the pastor who is condemning, it's what they sold to us at the beginning, now about to hunt them). They preached about Sodom and Gomorrah still yet they give us homosexuality, bisexuality, transgender, Feminism etc, they come and tell us Jesus is White and Satan is Black, and Satan does bad, still yet most of their characters, paintings in the movies are Sanatn doing good. Believe me, I can't stop laughing after reading this post. I'm not just referring to Christians alone, I'm talking about the two most popular imported religion of our time. As long as you do good, and leave bad, your religion doesn't matter to me. Peace be unto every religion, tribe, color, race in this lovely world. Happy Easter to all my Christian friends, may we all stay alive to celebrate more years of Easter (I mean every religion) cuz I've always been humanity before religion.

Simply much ado about nothing

Saxxon:
Mad people! So we should leave very well produced movies and watch your daddy and Mommy instead? Who are you to tell us what superstitions to believe in? Afterall, na still the same witches and wizards your mama and papa dey act for film, only that theirs is poorly produced. Lalasticlala Seun Mynd44 come help me see tori

You're very foolish.
Your comment on all these thoughts expresses how untrained you are.

Times change, religion is scared of change and the future.

You have missed the point, imho.
And you are making broad assumptions about my religion.

The first and most important question - have you read the lion the witch and the wardrobe?

Ironically a quick search for Christian symbolism in movies actually brings up Harry Potter and the deathly hallows among other movies

Ishilove:

Nope. Never seen them. I've never been able to get myself to watch any Harry Potter movie because my spirit rejected it from the very beginning. I cannot watch a movie that glamourises witchcraft in any form.

And for those bringing Mount Zion to this, the difference here is Mount Zion presents the negative supernatural as it is; it doesn't tell me there are good witches and there are bad witches. Witchcraft is witchcraft.

Mind you, I know where to draw the line with fantasy, but please, I will not accept the subtle mind conditioning to accept the glamourisation of occultism that many of these movies seem to be doing.

It most be a tough life living in constant paranoia and fear, that you guys are scare a mare fictional book acted can influence you.

One disadvantage of being religious is the constant fear and reading of meaning to everything.

You know when you leave a scare kid in a dark room, everything or sound becomes a threat... This is how i picture you guys.

No movie or book has the ability to influence me, I own my life and I made my own decisions.

Even away from the Christian angle..... western forms of entertainment are a threat to the values and morals of African society.

Hollywood is another world order. They influence the society with their movies. I try like 20 movies . 15 has sex scenes. Imagine kids watching those scenes over and over. Our Nollywood influencing us locally with rituals and blood money in their movies. Yoruba movies showcase gangster and babalawo

The question is, when were these characters created?
These comic characters have been around for more than 50yrs
So what is this man saying
If u want more viewers for your own mount zion movies just say so
No dey spoil any own market

Maryjane001:
Yes true, but nothing beats marvel and Disney. When I have children, I would extremely limit and screen what they watch by watching it myself before giving them the go ahead. Thank God I love cartoons. Theses days, children cartoons are filled with sexual content, nudity and stuff laidat.

Cartoons are not limited to children though there are teen cartoons and adult ones in case you do not know that.

WesternOligarch:

And you think Africans have more morals than westerners.

You must be joking it seems you don't know that the world is now a global village and pluralistic so when you talk about African society know that Africa today has more than 50 countries with a variety of cultures, morals and values that you may not like so stop giving close minded opinions and have a bird's eye view of things.

I wonder why it's difficult for him to see the wisdom in what was posted.

Ishilove:

Kobo, I'm not going down that road with you. Leave me to my beliefs and I will leave you to yours. The world is big enough for all of us.

Mike Bamiloye made some salient point.

Sieve what you accept into your mind when you watch movies.

I recently watched Encanto and turning red

Two absolutely beautiful Disney movies.

They are completely different from the Disney movies of our childhood, with mostly white faces/heroes, and the barest minimum at show casing anything other than western culture

It was beautiful to watch other cultures being showcased.

I can only imagine what zion ministries would have to say though

Encanto is celebrating and indoctrinating children with witchcraft

That girl in turning red is a witch that turns to red cat at night and goes for night meeting.

I agree 1000% with the post.
Parents must be deliberate and inculcate the right values in their wards.
Imagine a human being not seeing anything wrong with homosexuality.

AmazonTopaz:

Yea, teen cartoons. I watch them a lot even the ones lower than that. I derive joy seeing such innocence.

AmazonTopaz:

They do not know and do not understand things like hentai and porn parodies

One day on our WhatsApp group a misguided moral crusader shared a jpeg of Robin and starfire from teen titans go having sex. Look at what these westerners are playing for our children!

I think I even saw the same nonsense play out here as well.

The real message from Hollywood movies that just does not work out in Africa in particular and life in general - the good guys win. But if we were all to go through life thinking like that, we may as well condemn this country and continent once and for all.
