Life and modern questions
What does the Bible say about movies and entertainment?
Paul's guide is to fill the mind with what is true, honourable and lovely, which is a question of appetite more than a list of rules.
What Scripture says
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Psalm 101:3
“I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.”
1 Corinthians 10:23
““All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are profitable. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things build up.”
Romans 12:2
“Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.”
