Paul,Apostle of Christ
Heidi:
God has recently been working in my life with regard to the things I allow into my own life, such as what type of movies I see or the tv programs I watch....they all do influence us is some way or form.
For this reason I now try and apply Paul's words in my life:
The apostle Paul said, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things and the God of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:8).
Some things cannot be unseen so it's better to not see it in the first place.

Are the elect to judge all things?
How could one make a righteous judgment if they refuse to see.. how can evil be discerned from good if it’s not first considered?

One reason may be because they have already seen and considered.
I probably won't see the movie. First, because I hardly ever go to the movies and this one won't likely change that pattern. Second, because I've never really enjoyed movies based on bible-stories or characters. As "realistic" as Hollywood can sometimes make things, my own imagination is generally superior. I prefer the book. ;D
But I might see it, eventually, somehow and somewhere. Ray Smith had to read Bill Weisse's book in order to "critique" it. He was able to do that at that point in his "walk". We each need to consider ourselves.

I agree Dave,
Each person is progressing at the pace that God has set for them.
We all will be judging all thing with Lord Jesus AFTER we are fully prepared and ready.
At this time, in this life we have no real idea of the responsibilities and challenges that will be set before us.
God knows how much we each can handle and inspires each of us according to His perfect will.

Is this right bob? Is each person progressing? Or hasn’t God created vessels that are not to progress in this life.. some who’s purpose is to trip up/deceive/influence others on their walk and discourage them from discerning between good and evil for themselves? All part of His plan for each..
Is it even possible to progress at all without discerning between good and evil?
