closing, I don’t know why it is, but I often get an extreme
amount of criticism about reviews of this style of movie or of any
in the horror genre. The truth is that, as author
Ted Dekker points out: “To
paint evil with anything less than the darkest of brushes is not
an honest portrayal of evil.” I firmly believe that
to truly enjoy the good things of life, we must have a glimpse of
the darkness of evil. That doesn’t mean that we have to subject
ourselves to it all of the time. The reminders though, as portrayed
in Suspect Zero, that there are consequences to pay for evil actions
and that God ultimately will punish every form of evil are excellent
reminders for all of us. I personally enjoy those reminders, and
believe that movies like this provide excellent opportunities for
discussion regarding spiritual themes. It is for that reason, that
I am recommending seeing Suspect Zero.

RESPONSIBILITY
TO GOD
Leave others alone -no violence -no judging
Romans
14:10-12 Message Bible
So where does that leave you when you criticize a brother? And where
does that leave you when you condescend to a sister? I'd say it
leaves you looking pretty silly—or worse. Eventually, we're
all going to end up kneeling side by side in the place of judgment,
facing God. Your critical and condescending ways aren't going to
improve your position there one bit. Read it for yourself in Scripture:
"
'As I live and breathe,' God says,
'every knee will bow before me;
Every tongue will tell the honest truth
that I and only I am God.' "
So tend to your knitting. You've got your hands full just taking
care of your own life before God. |
