New Star Trek Movie
 

It was supposed to come out in December but it will come out later...it looks pretty good.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Does it have anything to do with the Gospel?

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I haven't see it yet. You want me to take notes?

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I was just asking to see what does a Star Trek movie have to do with the Gospel. I don't need you to take notes. You seen one Star Trek episode you saw them all.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

You mean "The Trouble with Tribbles" is no different than the "Undiscovered Country"?

And yes, I DO plan on seeing the new one. :)

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

How would YOU know???? :paranoid

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

You sound like you already have an idea what a Star Trek Movie has to do with the gospel..So why ask? Bored?

But you never know...maybe they have an Acts 2:38 preaching preterist in the movie. Hey now wouldn't that be neat?

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Good question lol

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

They should get smart and start showing these movies streaming on the Internet too what with all those millions of TV hatin, Internet Lovin Christians out there they could make a lot more money

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Same thing, just a few changes. Let's put it this way, deep space nine, Dr Who, Logan's Run, Planet of the Apes, and Star Trek all the same thing.
Nothing new.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I wasn't raised in church.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Nothing much.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Most good stories have the classic good vs. evil, a few twists thrown in, but good triumphs in the end. (IMO, anyway)

That doesn't mean the stories are boring when they're told again with new faces, new names and new uniforms. :)

If repetition were a problem, the Bible would be in big trouble. Not that I'm comparing Star Trek with the Bible. Just saying.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

No, not bored, I'm trying to get my work done and checking the forum out at the same time. I just trying to figure out what Star Trek has to do with Jesus Christ?

I hardly would think that would be the case. I was just asking what Star Trek had to do with the Gospel. ;)

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Joseph Campbell's books the The Hero's Journey, and The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Both books explain what you have said very well.

Do you know if this Star Trek movie is teaching anything about the Gospel?

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

lol...you don't know? You're trying to figure it out eh?


But you never know :gift

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Every Cadet from Star Fleet Acadamy has to be baptized in Jesus name before they can go out and meet space aliens

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Excuse me? Was I being sarcastic? I'm serious, I would like to know what this movie has to do with the Gospel? Yes, no, these two words would of speeded up the process don't you think? It's not like trying to root through a Strongs’ Concordance to try and decipher first century common Greek.


Yeah especially when no one is saying anything.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Interesting even to you it sounds ridiculous.

Amazing. ;)

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I have no idea. :) I probably won't even watch it. My husband will at some point....

My favorite stories EVER are The Greatest Salesman in the World (I & II), The Greatest Miracle in the World, and The Christ Commission. (Og Mandino)

However, I still love Jane Eyre and Leaves of Grass--they're not really about the Gospel. :D

The book that most changed my life as a teenager was In His Steps.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

:blink

Wow. My typos are pretty bad. I need to go to bed.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I know of the writer Charlotte Bronte, and yes very good book by Charles Monroe Sheldon. Books are better than movies. Nothing can beat man's imaginative mind.

No.

It is not all the same.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Well, yes. Star Trek is related to the Gospel to some extent. It was a prophetic series. Personal computers, very similar to the one you are staring at right now, were all over the Enterprize. Data disks? Saw em on the Enterprize in the 60s when we of the mid 20th century were still using reel-to-reel tapes. Personal communictaions devices? A revelation of that ubiquitous cell phone we all have. Cat scans, MRIs? Yep, the Enterprize had 'em. HD TVs? Sure, couldn't get anymore HD than the main veiwer on the bridge. I read not long ago where scientist had managed to teleport light from one place to another. Why, the Enterprize was teleporting carbon based life forms years ago. Lasers? Nonlethal weapons? Synthetic foods? Wireless communication? Its all there aboard Starfllets finest, the USS Enterprize.

It is said that Star Trek did more to break thru the racial barriers than anything else when, for the first time ever on American television, an interacial kiss was shown. Star Trek taught equality among, not only the races, but bewteen genders, cultures and even between intergalatic species. Okay, that last one is a bit far-fetched, but the point is made.

DNA testing? Yep, Dr. MCoy could distinquish Klingon blood from Romulon blood years before you had ever heard of DNA .

Gene Roddenberry was a visionary and much of what he envisioned is reality today.
But Star Trek being compared to Logans Run? Sorry, but thats like comparing the Andy Griffith Show to Mayberry RFD. There IS no comparison.


Can I get a big Amen from my brother Trekkies? Live long and prosper. Come to think of it.... that famous Vulcan salutation sounds a lot like 3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

You know RW, what was with William Shatner's over acting? What did America see in his extreme dramatic displays. DeForest Kelley was a little better, but the Kabbalist Lenord Nemoy was the main attraction.

Maybe I should ask this question. How do these movies and old tv re-runs enhance a Christian walk?

Not trying to be sarcastic or antagonistic, but really would like to know.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

I always thought everything was pretty cheesy and looked alot like Plan 9 from Outer Space, or Son of Godzilla. I guess you could say that Gene Rodenberry was a visionary as much as any other Sci Fi writer, Isaac Asimov, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Arthur C. Clarke (just passed away this year as did Thomas M. Disch), and H. G. Wells. Also we must not forget L. Ron Hubbard, who on a bet said that he could create his own religion and make money from it, and that his religion would become as popular as the three religions of Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad.

The Star Trek Vulcan greeting and farewell, was created from Kabbalah, with the hand symbol from Kabbalah. The live long and prosper comes from Kabbalist principle, and since Kabbalist teaching of the Zohar, borrow from Old Testament principles. It all would sound like it is all lifted from the pages of the Bible

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

So what exactly are you trying to say here? That if it doesn't have anything to do with the Gospel, we should never discuss it?

So much for discussing that new car purchase with your wife. Or discussing how the kids are doing in school with their teachers. Or planning for that next vacation. Or.................

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Those books teach anything about the gospel? just curious





BTW when did saints start going to movies??

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Maybe they don't.

So what?

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Oh, maybe around the time they were invented?! :jolly

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

He might even be depicted as being from the same planet as Bro. Benincasa. :jolly

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

AMEN

I felt the spirit in that post



:christmoose

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Hey, I might invite an unsaved friend to go see it with me. Deepen our friendship a little. He's already opened up somewhat about some things he needs prayer over. The more time spent together as "friends" actually BEING FRIENDS the more likely he is to be open to what I have to tell him about the Lord.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

You mean you don't just scream at him, over and over, that he is going to hell till he actually believes you and comes to church?

:jaw

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

It's just recreational. Like watching a play in your living room. Just a time to relax and hear a story.

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

Nope. And I also don't believe in being a friend with the sole mission to convert them. I choose to be a friend and only witness when God moves on me to do so. I'm not a trigger happy witness. ;)

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

well I certainly can not be involved with the likes of you people
witnessing ONLY when you feel God moves on you to do so????

why I, I, I..........

I am speachless at such thinking.




:christmoose

Re: New Star Trek Movie
 

LOL

I've ruined too many good friendships and burned too many bridges that could have been used to eventually reach someone by being a pushy witness in my younger days. Now I just pray that God opens the door and speaks to my heart when the time comes. In the mean time, I try to be the best friend they've got, a Christian friend.
