No TV or movies?

Have you too noticed all of the unpleasantness in TV and movies? Do you like hearing OMG, which in my opinion is taking God's name in vain, or hearing the profanities? Do you want to end up with such a mouth? Do you like the scenes of blood and gore? Then why would you listen and watch? Are you filling your minds with such unpleasantries? Are there any secular shows on TV that do not have these unpleasantries? Is Satan deceiving you and everybody else?

Romans 12:2 Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Phillipians 4:8 ... whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Yeah. There is a lot of unpleasantness on TV and movies, and plenty of blasphemy, even in older movies.

But there are scenes of blood and gore, even in the bible, so I don't think these are wrong per se. It would be nice to have more Christian and bible based entertainment, to replace the unpleasant TV and movies with. How about a romantic comedy about an Israelite girl as she prepares to enter the promised land?

Did the Lord make a video documentary though? It's in text.

The Lord trains my hands for war, not a movie. Could he use a film? Not impossible that I can tell but it seems unlikely.

There are also many sexual interactions in scripture, do you think that this on screen is appropriate because it's also in scripture? No I don't think you do and I'm not trying to be incendiary just pushing back against the statement a bit.
