Christians: I need some advice?

Question

Well I actually need some advice on 2 things so I'll put them both together. First of all I'm a Christian & im Facebook friends with this other Christian who judges me pretty often. Like when I was gothic ( after going through some really tough times) I was addicted to vampires & he reminded me very often that vampires are demonic demons from Satan which I knew that but I didn't care because I had another Christian friend who was also gothic but she also loves Jesus. & he also thought that my Halloween costume was demonic as well but it wasn't because I was Edward scissorhands & he's not demonic. Anyways but then a few months later I went on this Christian trip with my youth group which changed me because I told everyone what I've been through & how I've sinned & what caused me to be really dark & gothic. But the only thing that didn't change about the gothic part is that I still love Tim burton movies & I was gonna go see his new movie dark shadows & I get a Facebook message from him asking me "please tell me your joking about going to see this movie" & I told him "yes I'm going to go see it because it looks funny & my favorite director made it & my 2 favorite actors are in it as well" & then he told me it dosnt matter if it's a comedy & that he was afraid that seeing it was gonna make me go back to being gothic & what not & he was trying to force me to get down on my knees & ask god to forgive me & to make my moms mothers day great by not seeing the movie & I told him you can't judge me like that & I can go see this movie if I want to because my favorite director made it & my 2 favorite actors are in it. & now he's judging me about the fact that I swear. I don't swear that much depending on my mood & plus I've heard other Christians swear as well. But no matter if it's like 1 or 2 cuss words he still judges me about it. I usually don't delete my fb friends but I really feel like I wanna tell him "you know what? Your not my father! You can't tell me what to do & what not to do! You judge me all the time & I've had enough! So please back off!" it just feels like he's trying to get me to change but that's not his choice that's mine but if God wants to change my heart that's fine I'll let God do it no one else.
But yeah what should I tell him without being mean? I mean dosnt it say somewhere in the bible to not judge others? Because I think that judgemental is just wrong & it's not nice either

Answer 1

you tell him your not my judge



i am a growing christian learning to walk with the lord

i answer to god not to you

god will change me in his time not you



Romans 14:13

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Answer 2

Lotta well solutions, a few junk combined in. In order to real fully grasp the scriptures, you must recognise the historical past of all of it, and that begins with Genesis. Start there and skim to the opening of Revelation, and you're going to have a well proposal of what went down and why matters had been performed the best way they had been. Don't attempt to memorize the complete factor, however gain knowledge of the parties that resulted in or precipitated different parties. Like crossing the Red Sea. Someone has now stated he learned that Moses did not move the Red Sea, however the Dead sea, and at a time while the water used to be only some inches deep. He contends that there used to be no miracle concerned. Maybe so, however how a lot more of a miracle do you wish. God drowned Pharaoh's whole navy in ankle deep water. So who is aware of what errors historical past made, both used to be a miracle. About the sixth or seventh time via, you'll be able to start to fully grasp a few of what's being informed to the factor that you'll begin educating others approximately it. Maybe faster considering you appear to be particularly good informed. God Bless You. When you consider you've all of it down well, then research Revelation. It'll scare the pants off ya. I do not suggest it to rookies within the phrase.

Answer 3

It comes down to this:



" Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."



I John 2:15-17



Go see the movie, but before you do, pray and ask God to show you why it isn't appropriate.



Maybe you appreciate the artistic abilities of someone like a Tim Burton, but if you consider you will see that he really is making the dark things attractive, and enticing the naive, and that is not love if they become entangled in the things of Satan.



listen how God helped these 2:

Answer 4

You have every right to see this film if that is what you want to do; it is certainly not going to be harmful to you. Your friend is being quite fundamental here with his views. And, as for you going back to being gothic - according to your friend - it is none of his business and it is not what you wear, it is more how you treat other people that really matters.....:)
