And It Wasn’t Very Good

It’s nice to see that my site is on the first page of Google search results for “list of bib­li­cal prin­ci­ples that twi­light the movie is against.”

So, since you asked, here’s the list (it’s a short one):

  1. “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” (Gen. 1.31a)

In case that’s not clear enough, the prin­ci­ple here is that just as what God made was very good, we also, as bear­ers of the imago dei, should also strive to cre­ate what is very good. Twi­light, in both its writ­ten and cin­e­matic forms, is not “very good” and thus vio­lates that foun­da­tional bib­li­cal principle.

I hope you, who­ever you are, found that list help­ful. And should you ever need more guid­ance on such issues, please don’t hes­i­tate to ask.

Patterson looks like he’s speed walking to get away from the franchise.

I was talked into reading the books, by women at my church, all older than me. I finally succumbed to post-tween peer pressure and read the entire series. I want those hours back.

Now I am anticipating the next installment of the Game of Thrones novels. It has everything that Twilight didn’t, complex characters, wonderful setting, and most of all, complexity to the plot.
