Most “Bible Films” Contain Demonic Influences
By David J. Stewart
As much as I hate to say it, there are hundreds of things wrong with
so-called family films based upon the Bible. As an alternative to
Hollywood's smut and filth, many Christian believers have sought out
better films by purchasing Biblical stories and the Gospels in film.
Sadly, I am going to share just a small handful of warnings and problems with several of these films with you, and things that you need to be aware of before you make the mistake of inviting a group of family or friends over to your house to watch these films. You may be quite embarrassed by what you see. It is a shame that Satan has even infiltrated Christian movies these days. Some of the things I am going to share with you are disturbing to say the least.
Let's start with one of the most popular Walt Disney movies ever produced, A WALK TO REMEMBER...
It just goes to show that Hollywood, underneath any superficial goodness, is rotten to the core. Even in the movie, A Walk To Remember, which apostate Christians praise so much, there is an evil spirit of sensuality at work. When Landon Carter (played by Shane West) approaches Jamie Sullivan (played by Mandy Moore) in her car, he asks if she's “feeling Christian,” because he needs a ride home. The camera immediately focuses between her legs, which are moving in and out under her thin dress, which creates a sexual invitation type of scene. It is definitely sensual and sexually suggestive. This is Hollywood at work. They can't even make a good movie without adding something sensual and sexually suggestive to it.
My pastor used to say: “Boy preacher, you have a dirty mind! No, I have a man's mind.” That is the truth of the matter. It is not a matter of a man having a dirty mind. One does not need a dirty mind to have seed thoughts of sexual immorality planted into their mind by demonic movies intended to do so. No wonder American society today is plagued with adultery, fornication, incest, pedophilia, and homosexuality.
At another point in the movie, Jamie's father (the local pastor) tells Jamie that she may not care what he thinks, but she should care what God thinks. Jamie replies, “I think God wants me to be happy.” That's some dangerous thinking. God wants us to OBEY the Bible and please Him; and not ourselves (Revelation 4:11). God's will for our life is for us to obey Him, even though this often means living a life of sorrow and tribulation (John 16:20; 2nd Timothy 3:12).
At another place in the movie, A Walk To Remember, a group of teenage girls are filmed doing cartwheels in tight Daisy-Duke shorts. This is sinful. Women, young and old alike are to dress modestly as the Bible commands in 1st Timothy 2:9. Deuteronomy 22:5 forbids women to dress like men, nor for men to dress like women... “The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.” Any child knows which bathroom door is for the men... the sign with the pants (and the door for the women has the sign with the dress on it). It's common sense.
The same people who laugh, scoff and take lightly the moral issue of dressing modestly are the same heathens who see no harm in aborting children, fornicating and committing homosexuality. Those who make light of small moral matters are going to disregard the large as well. It's very interesting that those Christians who CARE and try to please God are also
The Devil is a beautiful liar...
Filth and Smut in Falsely Labeled “Christian” Films
Sad
to say, some of the most heathen, inappropriate and sensual movies on the
market today are so-called “Christian” movies. The movie “Joseph” shows
Potiphar's wife seducing Joseph and you can clearly see her naked body under
the negligee she is wearing in the film. The film's producers are very
deceitful by NOT rating the so-called “Christian film.” In fact, very few
films labeled as “Christian” are rated for that very reason. There are some
really suggestive scenes in these movies. If they were rated, it would have
to be R-rated for violence and sexual content. Religious films are some of
the nastiest trash on the market.
Underneath any superficial goodness, Hollywood is rotten to the core. In the well-known Christian film, A Walk To Remember, which apostate Christians praise so much, there is an evil spirit of sensuality at work. When Landon Carter (played by Shane West) approaches Jamie Sullivan (played by Mandy Moore) in her car, he asks if she's “feeling Christian,” because he needs a ride home. The camera immediately focuses between her legs, which are moving in and out under her thin dress, which creates a sexual invitation type of scene. It is definitely sensual and sexually suggestive. This is Hollywood at work. They can't even make a good movie without adding something sensual and sexually suggestive to it.
If you want to really get mad, then read my review of the filthy, smut, trashy film, SAVED; starring Mandy Moore and Macaulay Culkin (Marilyn Manson's buddy). Mandy Moore is a genuine loser. Anyone who attacks my precious Savior is a loser. The entire movie mocks and desecrates Christianity. At one sick point in the movie, Cassandra looks at the crotch of Jesus on a cross and makes the statement “Now, that's what I call being hung on a cross.”[1]
In the movie Pilgrim's Progress, Christian's wife stands up at the kitchen table with a thin white skirt on and you can clearly see her buttocks line thought the dress. It is a sexually suggestive scene that does not belong in an alleged “Christian” movie. Any moron knows whether something is inappropriate or not. This filth is deliberate, because it's a well-establish fact that any type of sensual content or scantily-clothed women boosts a film's ratings in this wicked world.
Perhaps you say, “Boy, you have a dirty mind.” No, I have a man's mind. And you are either a homosexual or need to go see a doctor if you can view a scantily-clothed woman and it doesn't affect you as a man. I am sick and tired of heathen producers labeling sensual garbage as being “Christian.” In case you don't believe a preacher like me, who loves Jesus Christ and is trying to live right, then maybe you'll believe the Chinese government...
China Bans Sexually Suggestive Ads on Radio, TV
by Sreeraman | September 27, 2007China's broadcasting watchdog has banned all sexually suggestive advertising on radio and television.
Commercials featuring sexually suggestive language or behaviour or featuring scantly dressed women were "detrimental to society," the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) said in a circular on Tuesday.
All stations are prohibited from broadcasting commercials and programs involving drugs, sex-related health supplements, drugs for sexually transmitted diseases, sex toys, as well as "vulgar" ads for breast enhancement and female underwear, according to the circular.
Commercials in which celebrities testify to the effects of products are also banned, reports Xinhua.
The SARFT also ordered an end to programs with names including sex-related drugs, products or medical institutions.
"Sexually suggestive ads and bad ads not only mislead consumers seriously and harm public health, but are socially corrupting and morally depraving, and directly discredit the radio and TV industry," the circular said.
In July this year, the SARFT released a notice to stop ads with inappropriate content or sex implications from appearing on TV screens.
A total of 1,466 ads involving two billion Yuan (US$267 million) have been removed since August, statistics from the SARFT showed.
The administration warned stations that failed to monitor the quality of commercials and programs would face severe penalties.
Since September 5, China's broadcasting watchdog has punished ten radio stations for talk shows involving sexual topics.

Now why is it that the Chinese Communist government recognizes that scantily dressed women are detrimental to society; but ChristianityToday and church groups all across America are defiant on the issue. No one is ignorant in this matter. Hosea 4:6 says that God's people were destroyed for a lack of knowledge; knowledge that THEY REJECTED from God.
The average churchgoer and American today have their heads buried in the sand? Can you believe that the Communist Chinese have more morals than Americans do? Would to God that our nation would sexually suggestive filth from TV, not allowing scantily dressed women. All of the smut and filth being used in advertising today and movies is corrupting our society.
In The Gospel of John movie (2003), starring Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus (he did a great job by the way), the film is based upon the perverted NIV (New International Version) of the Bible. In John 20:17 in the King James Bible, Jesus plainly warns Mary Magdalene “Touch me not” because He had not yet ascended unto the Father. Jesus still needed to take His shed blood and apply it to the mercy seat in the heavenly Holy Place (Hebrews 9:12, 22-24). If Mary had touched Jesus, then He would have been corrupted and all would have been in vain. This is abundantly clear I think from the Scriptures, and having a good understanding of the work of the Old Testament high priest.
Well, the 2003 film of The Gospel of John shows Mary grabbing both of Jesus hands and hanging onto Him. Jesus says from the NIV, do not hand onto Me for I must ascended to the Father. That is blasphemy. Mary never touched Jesus. The King James Bible has it correct. The 2003 film is corrupt because the NIV is corrupt.
In another scene Jesus asks Peter, “Lovest thou Me more than these?” in John 21-15-17. The movies shows that Jesus is asking Peter if he loves Christ more than the other disciples. That is not what Jesus meant at all. Jesus meant the fish they had caught. After fishing all night and catching nothing, Jesus told the disciples to cast their nets onto the right side of the ship, and they did, catching 153 fish. What an awesome miracle! Jesus even had hot fish and bread ready to eat when the disciples reached shore. What an awesome Savior, always thinking of others! Jesus asked Peter if he loved catching fish more than Him. Jesus wanted Peter to fish for the souls of men, and showed Peter that God would provide for his every need.
The same is true today in the new millennium. God will provide for our needs. So many women are carelessly pursuing careers at the expense of motherhood. Just because the world has TURNED ASIDE AFTER SATAN (1st Timothy 5:14-15), doesn't mean that you have to as well. Have faith in God! Let the dead bury their dead Jesus said. Let the unsaved world fix their own computers, design their own software, and do their own meaningless work. Life is short and we ought to REDEEM THE TIME as believers. It is a matter of faith.
What will a career or any of your shallow achievements matter 100-years from now when you are dead and gone. The trophies, awards, recognitions, and achievements that clutter your living room now on earth, will mean absolutely NOTHING the day you die. So what if you give to March of Dimes, Red Cross, United Way or some other charitable scam?; it won't help you one iota on Judgment Day when you stand before God your Maker. Nothing done will be truly rewarded unless it is done in Jesus' name and for the Gospel's. Ezekiel 18:24 teaches that a person's good works will all be forgotten if they die in their self-righteousness without the Lord.
Everyone either dies IN THEIR SINS (John
8:24), or else they die IN THE LORD (Revelation 14:13). Salvation has
nothing to do with us, other than we must trust upon the finished work
of Jesus Christ for salvation. We are saved by HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, i.e.,
the imputed righteousness of Christ Jesus (Matthew 6:33; 2nd Corinthians
5:21; Romans 4:5-6; Romans 10:3-4).
“THE
RAPTURE” Pornographic MovieHollywood is sicko, spiritually wicked, and of the Devil. Time Warner (New Line Features; a film by Michael Tolkin) produced a movie called THE RAPTURE, starring Mimi Rogers and David Duchovny (Molder from the X-files), which is pornographic in content, featuring a delusional Christian mother who blows her daughter's brains out with a pistol so she can go to be with the Lord in Heaven. The movie is advertised by the very title as a religious film, luring unsuspecting buyers by the seemingly innocent title of THE RAPTURE. Such naive consumers will find themselves watching nude sex orgies for the first half of the movie, and a deranged Christian mother murder her daughter in the second half of the movie so she can be with Jesus. This is what the world thinks about Bible-believing Christians.
To no surprise, Roger Ebert gives the sicko movie his highest rating of 4-stars. The movie is intended to portray Christians who believe in the Rapture as potentially delusional suicidal lunatics. The film is straight out of the pits of Hell, a trashy mockery of Biblical Christianity, mixing pornography with a warped Gospel message in the name of Hollywood entertainment. TimeWarner and New Line Cinema clearly have no decency nor shame, but they ought to be greatly ashamed of producing Satanic filth like THE RAPTURE.
The movie has nothing to do with the Biblical doctrine of the Rapture; but rather is a graphic satire and mockery of Christianity. Mimi Rogers attempts to justify the trashy film by claiming it is mere art, an expression of one person's thoughts. The truth of the matter is that the movie blaspheme God, mocks Bible-believing Christians as being nutcases, and distorts between fiction verses reality.
They call this trash art? In the film, Mimi Rogers portrays a woman who goes from participating in swinging sex orgies, to finding religion, to putting a bullet in her daughter's head so she can go to be with Jesus in Heaven. And they call this garbage art? They would, what do you expect from HollyWEIRD? The people who made this movie are sick-minded freaks, God-haters, and seriously warped people in need of salvation.
Conclusion of the Matter
Most so-called Bible films have much to be desired of them. Certainly, the people who produce such films have low morals or else they wouldn't include lewd, nude, and crude scenes of naked women. Some of the films are sexually-suggestive, very inappropriate for a family faith film. Potiphar's wife should not be filmed in lingerie with her breasts visible. Delilah and Samson should not be shown making passionate love together, as sexually-promiscuous as can be, short of making it a porno flick.
These are supposed to be Christian films, depicting Bible stories. It is tragic that these wicked producers have no respect for God nor Christians who ignorantly buy these UNRATED films to view them. Since they are not rated, there's no way of knowing what they contain; but you'd naturally assume that a Bible film being sold in a Christian bookstore would be safe to watch. Not so my friend, think again.
They're not rated deliberately, because they would have to be R-rated and that would make them look stupid. I mean, what kind of producer would film an R-rated Bible movie? The Bible is brutally graphic, no doubt, but to film lewd and immodestly dressed women on camera for viewers to lust upon is to repeat the very sins which the Bible condemns. Think about that. Potiphar's wife's breast teats are visible in the film. That's just evil. These are supposed to be Christian films.
I still get nauseated every time I think about what the sicko producers did in A WALK TO REMEMBER. This is when Landon Carter (played by Shane West) approaches Jamie Sullivan (played by Mandy Moore) in her car and asks if she's “feeling Christian,” because he needs a ride home. The camera immediately focuses between her legs, which are moving in and out. Remember, Landon just asked her if she's feeling “Christian.” It's clearly meant to be sexually-suggestive. Earlier in the film there are girls in tight clothing filmed at the high school.
I realize that most people mock, laugh, and scorn at my preaching; but only a dishonest person fails to acknowledge the sexually-suggestive and promiscuous nature of our generation. Jesus condemns lust as adultery (Matthew 5:28). What most people consider normal and healthy, God calls fornication and sin. Most people think it's very normal for young people to fornicate and play around before marriage, which is why there have been tens-of-millions of abortions in America. I absolutely love and cherish the Bible, Colossians 3:1-5...
Colossians 3:5, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
There you have it from God Himself... MORTIFY THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS... and then the Bible lists a bunch of sexual sins, lust, and idolatry. The Greek word for “mortify” is nekroo and means “to deaden, that is, subdue.” This begins in the mind. 2nd Corinthians 10:5, “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.” If you want to live right, and to gain the victory in your life over a problem area of sin, then you need to follow 2nd Corinthians 10:5... by bringing every thought into captivity unto obedience to Christ.
Every thought presents a choice. You can either choose to delete that thought and focus on a Scripture instead; or you can dwell on that sinful thought and carry through with the process until sin hath brought forth death as James 1:15 teaches, “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” It all begins in the mind. This is why the Bible states in 2nd Corinthians 4:16, “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.” Ephesians 4:23, “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.” There is no magic to living the Christian life. God's Holy Spirit wants to transform our mind with the Word of God. Romans 12:2, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind...”
The Bible is the greatest Book about psychology in existence if you'll study it. The Bible includes the reality of sin, which all secular modern psychology books totally ignore. Jesus Christ truly is the answer to all of one's problems and needs. The problem is that the wicked heart of men (Jeremiah 17:9) don't want the truth of God's Word (John 3:20; John 5:40; 1st Corinthians 2:14). Oh, won't you come to Jesus now this very moment.
Having said all that I urge you to be careful what you see and hear on television and in the places that you go. The Devil is a master of deceit and knows just how to cause a Christian to fall. 1st Peter 5:8 cautions believers to be on guard (on watch) all the time for that old snake, who roameth about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The Greek word for devour means “to gulp entirely.” Satan wants to eat us alive, and he will if given the chance.
The Devil shows no mercy, no remorse, no regret, like a Terminator from the Hollywood movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Have you ever noticed that roaring lion at the beginning of all of those Hollywood films? 1st Peter 5:8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” Coincidence?
