Is Hunger Games an interesting broader example of this? We’re repulsed by the people in the capital watching HG for entertainment, and yet it forces the viewer to consider what we watch for entertainment…
The author of this video be like: The plot of the series doesn't align with the Bible and doesn't make any claim to be the story from the Bible or to have Biblical cosmology? Ahhh they fail so miserably to mimic Biblical story... Because that's what they tried to do, right? Right? :c
Sir pencious was proof people can change in hell and be redeemed and to rise up This also iludes to people I. Heaven possiblely having the ability to change for bad and can fall Same for angle dust he was a bad guy turned into a good guy he just has done bad stuff and hasn't fully redeemed himself so he hasn't risen For Adam he's a bad guy who has done good in the past became a bad person and hasn't done anything bad necessarily enough to fall from heaven until the last ep.
Brilliant Nate You held me entranced! With the words and the pictures As the story advanced. A reminder for youth And for oldies like me The Lord is the boss Of all stuff - plus the sea! His purpose is good For all who obey So hold fast to His Word And don’t fly away! May the Lord bless all you and the team do as you work for the kingdom. Lynn
I think the only reason Adam was in heaven is because it would look bad on the angels of the first man couldn’t even make it and I think he couldn’t. Sir pentous’s sacrifice is more of a sacrifice than Jesus’s sacrifice because pentous likely knew he would die and didn’t know he would go to heaven, even though he did where as there was no question in Jesus’s mind he would live therefore no sacrifice causvhe didn’t lose anything.
this is a show called "Exploding Kittens" are you really gonna get mad about a show about kittens exploding??? you know this is why non christians dont take yall seriously
I'm Cristian and i liked this show, even though i didn't like the way they did god and also his relationship with Beelzebub, but then again it's just fiction
I don't remember this being a saturday morning cartoon. For me this was an after school cartoon and I used to run off the school bus so fast so I didn't miss the intro.
I broke my own rule and went to see it with my kids (having heard a review that it contained none of the other issues of recent Disney films, and I wanted Disney to know I appreciated that, with my money!) I enjoyed it and my kids did too. I love your idea of emotions being able to transmute. Envy could have become admiration/inspiration; boredom to contentment (as it was more shrugging things off than boredom per se I thought), anxiety could have become concientiousness etc. Or the option there for the emotions to grow into those depending on choices. I thought an obvious teenage emotion was missing and could have provided a whole host of story options was independence/freedom. It could have got Reily into lots of trouble but also allowed her opportunities to stretch her wings and try new things. I agree with your analysis that none of the emotions are there to look at other people very positively, even in a film with friendship as a core theme. Compassion or empathy would have been good choices.
For Those Wondering What Heaven Is Like In Hazbin Hotel?, The Only Good Person Is A Seraphin Named Emily. Once You Meet Adam(Yes The First Man Adam) You'll See How Corrupt It Is. Also They Don't Actually Know How Any Soul Gets Redeemed Into Heaven.
The video image of this guy looking surprised is so obviously disingenuous hahaha. This guy is old, like he doesnt know these cartoon intros. Come on now... lol. This type of video would do better with someone who is Not familiar or vaguely familiar with 80s cartoons.
It seemed to me that if you adjust "anxiety" to "worry," then the movie lands on a view that parallels the Bible, with anxiety worrying about the next day's test rather than taking control of the sense of self. Matt 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." But then again, Matthew 6:34 comes after 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." I like to imagine what the inside world would be like when she becomes a Christian and the Holy Spirit visits memories to reshapes the sense of self. Imagine the memory of experiencing Christ that reshapes everything in her mind.
From my fuzzy memory, the "Thundercats, Ho" call is a literal compulsion - I don't recall if it's completely irresistable or simply close to, but every Cat that sees/hears it has to respond in at least some form. I want to say even if they hear it unconsciously, they respond and awaken.. which, I'd suppose, you could tie to the various versions of Judgement Day, where all will be called, even those in their graves shall rise at the call of God to be judged before him.
Hi Nate, could you look at Fortnite at some point. I am getting frustrated with the games with-in games, strange imagery, and the buying of a 'skin' only to find you can't use it until to have collected others. All this within the under 12 games. As a parent who has been careful about her son sees and uses I feel gaslit by the parental controls, ugly graphics, 'skins', backgrounds - even in 'creative'. I keep thinking about Philippians 4:8 .... Thanks (p.s. really loved the discussion above - so helpful).
Three things that would've made this show much more palatable for christians. 1. Make the setting in the purgatory or at least at the very fringe almost separate part of hell. 2. Make Lucifer much more grey in his morality instead of simply being depressed. 3. Make the angels a lot more hesitant in exterminating. And see the extermination plainly as a duty rather than entertainment (except for Adam and Lute).
I can say. Even if this show Is not a biblically accurate, its still has a Biblical and Religious references and ideas. 1) In fact, the whole plot of the extermination is very similar to the plot of the Book of Exodus, where Pharaoh ordered the slaughter of the children of the Hebrews in order to reduce their number and avoid rebellion. A similar story is present in the New Testament with King Herod, who ordered the capture of little boys in order to find the King of Kings among them in order to get rid of him and preserve his power and throne. Sera essentially resembles Herod and Pharaoh of the Exodus, then Paradise can be considered as Egypt and Judea. And Sinners as Jews, abandoned by God for 400 years of oppression under the rule of a foreign country. Funnily enough, but in the song Hell is forever, Adam drops the phrase "An eye for an eye", which is just present in the Book of Exodus. It says, "If a man hits his male or FEMALE slave in the eye, and the eye is blinded, he must let the slave go to compensate for the eye" as Adam and Lute did to Vaggie, cut out her wings, her EYE and threw her away, releasing her from service. Just as Sir Pentious enters Heaven and becomes an Angel Cobra, when he renounced his sins and redeemed, this can be seen as a reference to how the serpent created by God devoured the serpents created by the Egyptian priests. And this is added by the theory that God himself carried Pentius directly to Heaven and near Sera and Emily. 2) If we assume that Jesus existed in this universe, this can be understood by St. Peter, one of his Apostles and disciples, then Charlie continues his work, so to speak, but if Jesus worked exclusively with living people, then Charlie is trying to atone and make the Sinners in Hell believe. And in fact, she also has apostles, Vaggie herself, AngelDust, Alastor, Husk, Sir Pentious, Niffty and Cherry Bomb. Lucifer then can be considered as a Joseph and Lilith as a Virgin Mary, because I love to theorize that she after eating a fruit from the Tree of Knowledge become the bearer of the true pure power of good, which was partially passed on to her daughter. And if we take into account the fact that she is formally the granddaughter of God, if one still exists in the universe of this series, then he would not only be glad that such a glimpse appeared in Hell, but it is also possible that he himself contributed to her being born and helped the souls of the dead to be cleansed of sins. And just like Jesus in his ideas, Charlie also has enemies and opponents, Adam and the Exterminators themselves can be seen as Pharisees, who are kind of priests and servants of the Lord, but who are not clean, corrupt and who wanted to kill the righteous man, Jesus himself, seeing in him a threat to their power and influence. Sera can then be seen as Pontius Pilate, who conducts a trial and pronounces a sentence on the further fate of the righteous man. Emily can be considered as Mary Magdalene. And Heaven can be interpreted as the Roman Empire. And if we talk about who will become the new Judas Iscariot, then it will definitely be Alastor, who will betray Charlie and her ideas, but then, perhaps, either sacrifice himself or destroy himself, just as Judas himself, realizing what he did and that he was guilty, committed suicide by hanging himself on a tree. Even the way the Angels, and in particular the Lute, condemn Sinners and at the same time not noticing their own vices or thinking they are right, this is a living illustration of the wisdom of Jesus: "Judge not, lest you be judged." 3) Also, the plot and characters is relatively similar to the Book of Esther, with the plot of how a female ruler from the people who are under the rule of a powerful kingdom, saves her people from destruction and extermination. Charlie and Emily herself - Queen Esther. Sinners - Jews. Angels - Persians. Sera and Lucifer - King Ahasuerus. Lilith - Queen Vashti. Adam - Haman the Agagite. Lucifer and Vaggie - Mordecai. And just as Ahasuerus is unable to revoke the order to exterminate the Jews, so he issues a new order that the latter may be resisted, and this entails battles and celebrations. The same is true in the season finale. Sinners and Cannibals, along with Charlie, Vaggie and Lucifer, give battle to the Exorcists and win not without losses, and then celebrate. 4) And finally, the very way Charlie tries to guide Sinners to the true and righteous path, this is what many famous prophets of God did, in fact, Moses, Jonah and Elijah. And yes, Heaven can be considered as a monotheistic state, and Hell and demons as a pagan idolatrous people. As the Europeans, English, or Spaniards actually treated the native population of America, hating them largely simply for their different faith and for the color of their skin.

So great to think about the role of seeing in creation (no shame+He saw that it was good, creatures being seen), fall (afraid to be seen as fallen) and redemption (seeing Christ), and also in the new creation, where we will see Him as we are being seen. Thank you!
I really want this to be good. I love Inside Out. Pretty disappointed so far though that all the new emotions are negative. I don't want my children to think at puberty everything will get more negative! We've got enough messaging about how awful being a teen is without this. I hope there's a ray of sunshine in that film that's not just Joy. I want my children to want to grow up, not try and stay in childhood! I'll be pre watching before deciding whether to let the kids watch it. As I now do with all Disney as they've lost my trust that they aren't going to fill their movies with inappropriate messaging.
