CHRISTIAN Movies That Aren't Really Christian Movies

  Talk about a movie from the devil....I don't see anything redeemable about this movie, much less "Christian" about it.

Oh, I know, the content is awful and rapes the mind, but the over-arching theme of redemption in the Jules character is undeniable.  Had he not changed, he would have blown everybody away at the restaurant at the end.

Hmmm...in that case I might watch the super popular Pulp Fiction

Try to find an edited version like on TNT or something.  You have been warned.

Tolkien didn't like Lewis' blatant Christian imagery used in the Chronicles. I love both series and can see a lot of the Christian influences in Tolkien's literature. The Hobbit to me is a great story that parallels how Christians can become complacent in our walk and desire to live a comfortable life, but if we are willing, God can use us to do great things.

Tolkien being Catholic, imagine him being able to write great Christian literature???

I wish there was a company that made clean edited versions of shows/movies that got rid of evey last word/image that had zero point zero % to do with the plot or story line.

(Game of Thrones!!!)

At least that being based off of a book series means you can just read the series and skip past the unsavory stuff. Of course, the book series STILL isnt finished (it's considered the Duke Nukem Forever/Chinese Democracy of the literary world).

There is, but I don't remember the name of it.  pure something.  I think it was sued for changing the artists original vision or w/e.

I caught a bit of Spiderman 3 the other day as I had never seen it before.  I recognized quite a few parallels to scripture that was quite shocking.  First, if there was ever an analogy to demonic possession it is the character/suit of Venom that attaches itself to Peter.  He completely overtakes Parker persona and changes his attitude for the worst tempting him to do evil.  Parker has to fight for the actions of his own soul and eventually is delivered from the "spirit of Venom" by the ringing of the church bell!  Nice.

The other Biblical theme touched upon is one of selfless sacrifice as Spiderman is saved by the sacrifice of Harry Osborn (ironically played by super creep and satanist James Franco).  Peter is saved by the blood of his once enemy as we were once enemies of God (Romans 5:10). And pays the price for Peter's sins during his stint as Venom's slave and possession of his soul.  As we were once slaves to sin and under the enemy's influence (2 Corinthians 4:4). Sam Raimi is not a Christian but somehow these messages worked their way into the film.
