Chronicles of Narnia

[Nikki]

We just got finished watching this and me and my 8 year old were both crying. Right before the Lion scene, she jumped up crying and said she didn't want to watch anymore. I had to explain how the Lion could represent and for her to remember what happened.

She would eventually stop crying and be ok, but then something else would happen and she would cry. I then made a HUGE mistake of explaining to her how one day Jesus would fight against Satan and that I wasn't sure if we would be part of Jesus's army or not. BIG mistake. She freaked out thinking she would have to ride on a horse and kill people.

Exactly WHO is it that will be part of that "war"?

Back to the movie....

All in all, I thought it was GREAT. It was very powerful. I know that it's not exactly the story of Jesus, but I still thought it was good and sent a good message (until I messed it all up by freaking my kid out).
:-?

Hi Nikki!

I'm sure there's a 2nd thread @ this film, saying that it makes less of Aslan & more of the witch than the book does - almost the false yin/yang idea of equal opposing forces of good & evil - when the Bible says that Jesus is 'FAR above all other'

Just time to say that Armageddon is in Joel 3, Zechariah 14 & Revelation 16-19 - Jesus, as King of kings & Lord of lords, is also 'Lord of hosts' - the hosts of Heaven are mighty warrior angels

All who love Jesus are in the instant airlift Rapture rescue of Matt 24:30-31, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58 & 1 Thess 4:13-5:11

Any reader who repents of sin & asks Jesus to be Saviour & Lord - as in John 3, Romans 3, etc, is saved, in good time, before that worst time on Earth, & has the glorious future of Revelation 21-22

Must go!

I had no expectations when I decided to watch this movie and it didn't take long for me to decide I didn't really like it all that much.
