A Story of Trial and Triumph (2) Do you know how it feels when you lose a baby? You have this bad insatiable urge to want to get pregnant as soon as possible, like the next day. So we started to try again. We couldn’t even bear to wait till my stitches were sealed before we started to try. Of course that was very uncomfortable to do, so we managed to wait till I could handle sex again. And we were at it like rabbits in the house. Every day, not even a single day went by without us doing it. And each day I walked into the Nursery and I saw the Barbie wallpapers and Winnie the Pooh stickers, a little piece of my heart broke off. There were baby things everywhere in the nursery. Ola tried to hide everything before I could see them but he couldn’t get them all. All I had to do was open the wardrobe in the nursery and there they were. Diapers, Wipes, baby baths, swing, highchair, box of clothes and I would just break down and cry all over again. We were going to name her Oluwatobi
I just watched Noah (2014) by Darren Aronofsky and I have to say I was completely
disappointed at the way a very straight forward bible story was twisted to
depict something completely incorrect. First off if you read the actual Noah
story in the bible from Genesis 6 the story is crystal clear – The generations
of men on earth had sinned and God wasn’t going to deal with the transgressions
of men anymore- he was going to destroy the whole earth. But Noah and his
family found grace in God’s sight because of Noah’s righteousness. God clearly
instructed Noah to build an Ark and gave him specifications on what to do. The
bible was also clear that Noah and his Sons and their wives were all saved in
the Ark. So I’m completely lost at where the writers and producers of this
movie got the idea that Noah’s sons went in to the Ark without their wives or
where they got the idea that Noah was instructed to kill his grandchild? And I
know the movie producers tend to distort storylines sometimes to make a movie
more believable but when you are dealing with bible stories please stick to the
truth as told by the bible. After all it is God’s account of man’s history so
why distort it? Just to be clear I completely disagreed with the Noah movie and
the story it depicts. God is a loving God. So if you chose to watch this movie
with your kids please ensure to clearly explain the difference between what the
movie portrays and what the bible says actually happened.
I'm really not surprised by this, if they could portray Jesus and His disciples as gay, then Noah is just nothing for them, they did not respect the KING of kings how much more one of His creations. Again, I'd like to add that most of the movie producers in Hollywood are against God and they are trying to turn the hearts of men from Him, for me, the Armageddon(... men will wage war against God...) has begun already. Some group of people have given themselves the assignment of doing exactly the opposite of what God says or commands and the sad thing is many people are just following this trend blindly, probably because it feels very convenient. So I do not bother to watch Christian movies from Hollywood producers like Sony and so on, they are against GOD!
ReplyDeleteNgozi my concern is that over time innocent minds will begin to take their works as the truth.
ReplyDeleteyes, true. We need to take time to gather knowledge concerning certain things we see, read, hear, watch etc. The bible already warned us not to be ignorant of the enemy's devices, God knows that the devil is a trickster so he already warned us, the bible is there as guide, when people watch stuff like this or hear something awkward, the easy way out is to go back to the bible to get the truth. Christians have a lot of work to do here,wherever we find ourselves we must seize the opportunity to speak the truth.
