Do you think a christian should read twilight?

Do you think a christian should read the book twilight?

there's NOTHING WRONG WITH RELIGION.

there IS a God, and that God pays attention to every single thing you do.

to levzeroni - as long as you know it's just a fiction, and it doesn't influence you in a bad way, and you keep up your faith with God, it's okay

God bless.

The one about the vampire?
Why does being a certain religion mean that you can't read a certain book. That's silly.

Because sometimes if reading a book about something that God has not created and was made from a sinner, then it would be bad, or put my religious views at risk

Mandyloo, according to the Bible Christians arent supposed to defile themselves with anything based on demons, vampires, or anything of the sort.
HOWEVER, that was the old testament, and nowadays things are a bit different.
I am a Christian and I watch horror films, vampire films, ghost films, read creepy books, etc. As long as you are strong in your faith and know that the book is ficton then you will be fine.

I don't think anyone should read those books.

They're complete crap.

Wow, that's absolutely insane to me. A religion that cencor's what you allowed to read/watch/listen to.

I know, but things have changed. Yes, our churches asks us to be careful with what we put into our body and mind, but they dont force us to.
At least not mine.
I am a completely independent person who likes to listen to music, watch scary movies and read weird books. I also drink and curse, but I still believe in God.

you should if you want to! religion is just what you believe in, if you want to read it, read it!

and thats why im not christian

I don't think God will be angry if you read a book about vampires.

Yes, you can read whatever you want to. Even reading the Da Vinci Code, it's so contraversial, and it does make people question their faith, but it's untrue. You can believe whatever you want to believe.

bahah religion is such bullshit.

if there was a god, don't you think he would have more important things to do other than pay attention to what you read?

Maybe the Bible doesn't say anything about reading books or watching movies about vampires. but the better question is... does you doing it glorigy God. And, the auswome thing about God's love is, he does care about us, even about what we read

I believe in a God who has had so much mercy on us and has blessed us with all spiritual blessings. If you have doubts about this movie, it could be your spirit man saying that this really is not what you should do. I don't count a vampire's abstinance in drinking her blood the same as abstinance from the evil one or the desires of the flesh. I do believe that the movie like all scary movies could keep you up at night wondering when the thing would jump in your window. Every creepy noice outside would make you nervous. I really do not think fear should be a part of the Christian's arsenal. It is kind of like if you feel convicted by it, don't do it.
If you don't feel convicted at all-check out Roman 1.

I have read the series and seen the movie with my 13 year old daughter. There is truly no seriously scary parts to this. The books actually present Christian beliefs...abstinence until marriage, the concept of family, one's inner struggle with right and wrong.
This is a grand love story and about finding the one person you know that you won't to spend your life with.
You will enjoy this book!!
Happy reading sweetheart!!

Yes...this is a great saga and well... the movie could have been better if it would have had a bigger budget. Unfortunately, the budget for the 2nd one isn't much more than the 1st-production company must really either need/ or want the extra cash. The first movie made back its budget in the FIRST 24 HRS it was out. All of us Twilighters were out at midnight in full force!!!
But, I digress. Yes dear. I think you can read this series without damaging your soul. And on the plus side. I think youll like it...a lot!!! (:

im christian and I read it! As long as you dont change your beliefs its fine

if you research these things before indulging into stuff Hollweird puts on the screen you'll be better off.
WE are to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus---and we are to be careful what we entertain ourselves with--as a Christian you won't even be intereted in watching this movie--you won't have any desire at all to view it--you're too in love with Jesus Christ and don't need to be wasting time on man made fables and fairy tales...
the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you --as a Christian will keep you from making mistakes and indulging in things that grieve God's heart...
Too much idle time on kids' hands ..should be into the Word and fellowshipping with other believers of like mind..
No---a true Christian has NO business watching this at all...

ITS JUST A BOOK IM SURE YOUR GOD AINT GONNA BANISH you FOR READING A BOOK

I like how some of you say YOUR GOD and I'M A CHRISTIAN AND I READ IT. IT'S OKAY IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT. There are a lot of issues that are extremely scary about this series. The fact that it seems harmless is probably one of the scariest things about it.

God does care what you put into your mind, body, and soul. That's why he laid it all out for us in his book...you might have heard of it...THE BIBLE. The fact that Bella is willing to basically give up her eternal soul for a life of immortality is not something that young people should be hearing. She is obviously NOT a saved person. One thing I find disgusting is the fact that so many so called Christians are reading these books. I ask young Christians all the time...Why are you reading that? They don't see anything wrong with it. It's kind of like Screamo Christian and Death Metal Christian music. Their response is..Well, it doesn't matter what it sounds like as long as the message is good. What message? Demonic screeches and shrieks are not appealing to the one and only God that I know and love...just read the Psalms for assurance of that.

The fact that this series was written by a Mormom (LDS) is also terrifying. They believe that everyone gets a second chance after death to come to Christ. Maybe that is why she allows herself to create a character with no regard for her soul. She can always just make it right afterward and still find her way into one of the lower levels of heaven before attaining GOD STATUS FOR HERSELF. Crazy, crazy, crazy...

I'm starting to ramble, so...DON'T READ TWILIGHT, IT'S OF THE DEVIL!

I don't think you should read such brap! I H8 Twilite.
