Todd Friel on how Twilight affects christian girls

[TheJdecka]

Taking it outside the Christian perspective. I agree that Twilight is a very negative influence on girls. I do not allow my little girl to read/watch the series, because I don't want her thinking she should be some submissive, dependent, and pathetic little creature that takes mental and emotional abuse for the sake of a one sided love. A love for a monster that wants to kill her. How is this a healthy relationship? What is this teaching our girls? I think it's disgusting.

LOL @ 'aren't vampires the undead?'.....guess they have not met the 'true death'! :P LIKE IF YOU GET IT.

Item: Finite wickedness.

Debtor: The God of Infinite righteousness and judgment.

Price: Separation from the Debtor.

Payment plan #1: We fulfill an everlasting price of Sin.

Payment plan #2: The Debtor removes our debt with His everlasting righteousness by fulfilling the price Himself, a finite price.

Which would you choose?

[syferboy]

haha...that was a good way to explain Twilight

[masticina]

Negative effects?

I am not a christian and really I don't like the very strong mormon touch to Twilight. I mean the movies are laughable bad the books to.. sadly they seem to make it normal for teenage girls and their mothers to change their idea about romance.

Really guys breaking in to watch you sleep isn't cute. Call the police! Definitely after that thing with the car...

Still doesn't the bible also says that women are second rang. Not in as direct words..they are "special" see.

im only a teenager and although ive tried, ive never really been religious, but i love listening to Todd. i really feel like he is one of the most genius voices in today's media

[truthseeker1973]

Unfortunately vampires are modeled after fallen angels. Those who love the vampire figure are those who have a love for darkness.

[Godspeaks7]

@truthseeker1973 I've never actually seen it like that so great point.

[TheKingskid2010]

zed1967 that book you brought up? The Bible? It also says that a fool says there is no God?? Jus sayin buddy.

[hpsapphire915]

WOW!!! Amazing video! Woah, SO TRUTHFUL!!! :D

[Johnnybegood1232]

Thank God for people like Todd Friel. I am dealing with a teacher at my Christian University who is a postmodern Christian.

@abrahamovervoorde

I know. I was just answering in 10 seconds or less. I agree 100% with Todd. My 19yo step daughter has read all the books and has seen all the movies but says no when it comes to reading the Bible. Excellent vid btw.

[PatrickEklektos]

AWESOME!!! I love it! Todd rocks and he really hits it home with Twilight! Wickedness! I love his last point as I have been saying for the longest time, Edward is a type of anti-Christ!

Hmm, that note about these type of romance movies being "emotional pornography" that Friel makes is interesting. Just curious, that note against imagination, is that just supposed to be against BAD types of imagination(such as pornography) or what?

[abrahamovervoorde]

@Coyne1988 I think it is talking about lusting after somebody but also can go as deep as if you are desiring/expecting your partner to be like that "perfect" person.

[heresblackice]

I cant help it. I like Todd Friel and can listen to him all day.

We need broadcasters like him. I love the sarcasm as its directed in the right direction

Keep up the good work Todd

[boobtuber06]

True, he reminds me of a Christian Jon Stewart, or something
