<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]I am surprised that you believe Hollywood to be more holy than the RCs though—in my book it is not an either or choice, I still have the word of God!</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>I have the word of God too, and I do not believe that the second command applies in the instance of a movie about Jesus (pre-glorification).<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]And again as Thomas Boston said: etc....</font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>That is the problem: Thomas Boston is saying it. In other words, Thomas Boston is offering up a Reformed interpretation of what he thinks the 2nd commandment is to apply to. I would also add that Boston is arguing about images that depict Christ in his glorified state now, and I would further disagree with him, because I believe a solid movie about Jesus would stir up devotion in my heart; not to worship the image of Christ portrayed by an actor, but what I know the scriptures say about Jesus that have been acurately depicted in a movie. Thus, Boston is wrong in my estimation, because my devotion is not vain. It has stirred my heart to worship the true and living Christ. <br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>[color:"blue"]Where in Romans 14 does it say we may break the 10 commandments, according to our conscious? I believe 1st we should present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service. and be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God--Rom 12:1-2, which came before Rom 14! </font><hr></blockquote><p><br><br>It doesn't say we can break the 10 commandments. However, it does say that I can reject a person's particular interpretative application of the 10 commandments. I believe that is what I am doing, because I am not compelled to believe you are applying properly the 2nd commandment in this case. And because I am not compelled to believe you are applying it properly, I will not be persuaded to your interpretation, so I think we have haggled back and forth about this well enough. If you wish to have a final word, you may do so.<br><br>Fred<br><br>
