Re: OT question

You clearly weren't taught the way I was then. PEople always try to bring up the "judging others" issue when the actions are clearly in violation of scripture. It's one thing to lose one's temper and control momentarily, quite another to plan ahead and profit from something. If I say I'm a Christian woman, I won't be in bed doing love scenes naked with another man. Don't tell me I'm not going to feel anything real (physical) if I'm making out with Antonio Banderas!

I just can't fathom this at all. So you're saying, it's okay for a Christian to portray a fictional character, only for money, who takes the Lord's name in vain, has sex with multiple partners, etc.

What about the text referring to whatever is pure, etc., think on these things?


People can pull out scripture and turn it to mean anything they want, but ultimately we will all be judged by the only one qualified to judge us. In the meantime, we all have to find our own way and if we are busy doing that, we won't have a lot of time to work on our neighbors.

If a person who acts as a noxious character says he's a Christian, it's not for me to say he isn't. I wouldn't say words that I find offensive (of which I can only think of one phrase, frankly - the rest aren't profane, but merely vulgar) to play a character, but I might portray a character doing things, with me not actually doing them - shooting up drugs, or sleeping around, for example.
