I just watching part of the Jesus movie and had to turn it off.
The reason for that is that I could just not take what was being said and done in the movie any more. The things that were really getting to me was how extreme the people where in the movie.
See I come from that type of background in my Christianity. The first church that I went to when I got saved was not as “extreme” as this but they were religious. The only thing that I can say about them being religious was that it heavy. You just felt burdened down by all of these things that you could or could not do. I saw the same thing in that movie.
In one seen there is a little girl who likes to dance but then she starts talking about how she should only dance for Jesus and not herself or “in the flesh”. She says that she like to dance for herself but she knows that it is wrong. Dude, there is nothing wrong with dancing. Now where in the Bible does it say not to dance. In fact it says that David danced. Enough said.
The thing was is that I have not been to a religious church in orver a year so I got used to not feeling that weight. But while I was watching that movie I could feel the weight.
All I can say is that the people in that are extremists. I really think that people need to take a step back and figure out why they believe what they believe and why they do the things that they do. I found as you do that your priorities shift and you end up getting closer to God and your family.
