Warning! Warning! Warning!

First, to put your mind at ease, I did not go to this movie. But my wife, daughter, and a visiting friend did, sort of....

Some "funny" things also happened as a result.
First of all, I wrote a blog about it and saved it to my backup storage device (a MAXTOR 750g).  The next day when I booted up, my computer would not "read" anything on the Maxtor! 
Today I am writing it again, directly to the website and we bind the devil from any problems in Jesus' Name.

Now, back to our report.

When the three of them went out to see "Sherlock Holmes", they had no clue they were about to get a real spiritual lesson from the Lord!  After leaving, about 45 minutes or so later, Linda, Savanah, and Mary returned with odd looks on their faces.

They began to tell me that the movie was "very dark" and that it became intolerably satanic as it progressed. It was so disturbing that Savanah had become nauseous and faint as she watched the movie and as a satanic ritual was performed by the.... "actors'. 
(The Lord only knows what they do in REAL life). 

I thanked God that they walked out of the theater and came home. As they related the story, I prayed over them and the others in that theater. (They had seen some other Christians there). Later in the evening, as is custom, I went up to prayer, and as I prayed for my wife, daughter, and friend Mary, the Lord gave me a vision. 

In the vision, I saw a large movie screen with the audience sitting in their seats watching. The BACK of the movie screen was open to the outside building, there was no back wall. 
From the dark outside sky, I saw a flock of crows dropping down out of the sky and flying THROUGH the theater screen and INTO the audience. -literally into them.
The vision ended.

Later, when I told Linda what I had "seen", she was shocked as a crow was one of the movie characters and was associated with one of the evil characters (Blackwood).

A little research found that the movie's black-rituals were right out of the dark sides actual practice. It MAY have been an actual ritual thinly disguised as "entertainment".
(BTW, isn't that the kind of stuff that got the Lords people in a lot of trouble in the OLD Testament?)

"The film was shot on location in Manchester and London with lots of local color and a new villain whose inspiration was the bisexual magician and self-proclaimed “beast 666,” Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley
He wrote Book of Law in April of 1904, and was a satanist. He also influenced the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, among many others in Hollywood and Rock Music)

"Using a Crowley-inspired villain and Victorian underground settings like Golden Dawn ****** and public wrestling pits adds a distinct whiff of rough trade to Sherlock Holmes. If purists argue that Ritchie is taking liberties, scholars have argued for years that the “real” Sherlock was a solitary, stylish bachelor with a coke habit and a bear for a best friend."
 
 That brings us to a question, when does the "entertainment"  factor justify and sanctify this type of fare for Christians? Without resorting to making a law "thou shalt not go see movies", I would urge everyone to prayerfully consider the following:

1 Cor10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
2 Cor 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Notice "fellowship" with devils, and "communion" with darkness:
Fellowship: gr. koinonia: association, community, communion, joint participation, intercourse
the share which one has in anything,  participation 
Communion: same as above!

Psalms 26:5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.
Psalms 97:10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil

Psalms 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes 
Proverbs 17:15 He that justifieth the wicked , and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD
(justifieth: is that like to make excuses why it is OK to watch abobominable filth?)

1 John 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1 Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Didn't God send prophets to rebuke the Covenant people once before for their bringing abominable images into the Lords temple?   Read Ezekiel 4 and 5)
He sure did.
He promised it would happen again in the latter days for those who bring abominable images into the temple of their own body through the doorways called "eyes"?

Ez 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

It was sure a good lesson for our family.
