Movies are influenctial in the mentality of people that are addicted to watching movies.
They are influenctial, especially in society as a whole. Our society sometimes is being molded by the kind of shows that the society watched, is there danger I'm watching movies? There is, movies are being used by Satan in influencing the entire world. 1 john 2 verse 15 says, love not the world, neither the things that are in the world if any man love the world, the love of the father is not in him.
Verse 16, for all that in this world,the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the father, but is of the world.
Movies create or tickle the lust of the eyes. there are movies that make you lust through your eyes, that is one danger of movie watching. Other things are insemination of unrighteousness thinking and ideas and life like not being ashamed of being a womanizer sometimes, being pictured in a movies. Wherein the actor is portraying the role of somebody who is a womanizer or sometimes, the lead lady is portraying the role of an infidel wife or a play girl,a girl that has so many partners.
Those are the ideas in movies that are dangerous to the thinking and to the principles of simple people like Christians. Christians are simple people with simple teachings. 2 corinthians 11 verse 3 says, But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in christ.
These simple minds can be corrupted by the ideas that you may watch movies. I wonder if a Christian, living the life of a real Christian, will still have time to watch movies because you see, I have responsibilites every day. Sometimes, I just have about 15 or 10 minutes to watch international news,watching movies, or sometimes, I also want to watch documentary films, like films on archeology, in science, about universe, et catera. But I cannot have enough time to watch all those movies. Although, I want to watch them, i need to know them, I need to watch them, but the only thing he can do is to watch news. sometimes, two times or three times a week.
