Twighlight warning by Robert McDuffie

Dear Family and Friends,

I usually leave the social commentary on media to the critics and para-church ministries.  However, this one is quite personal and so I have decided I cannot be quiet.  Personally, my wife and I made the decision to give up watching secular movies altogether, earlier this year.  I do not advocate this decision for anyone else, however I thought it only fair to let you know where I am coming from. 

Yohan Sebastian Bach famously said, "All music is for the glory of God and the enrichment of man's soul, anything else is Satanic hub-bub."  I personally believe this quote to be accurate and that it should apply to every form of media communication.

Why is this letter so personal?  Because, in June 2006 I was divorced against my will by my ex-wife who wanted to live her life in pursuit of torahlessness, sloppy agape, greasy grace Christianity with the full blessing, for sure of the local "Christian" pastorship and "Christian" churches.

I will not bore you with all the many messy and painful details except to say that you name the fruit of torahlessness / paganized "Christianity" and she has surely borne it, ripe and to the full. 

My oldest children are now 14 (male) and 16 (female) years old.  They along with their mother have read the "Twilight" series of books and go to see each of the film productions, of the same, whenever they are released.  Later, they put it in their DVD library so they can watch it again and again.  Unfortunately, I know for a fact that theirs is one of many "Christian" homes that have been plagued by this disease and death.  This plague is probably infecting / killing someone you love and care for even right this moment.  

I cannot say it loud enough and clear enough.  Twighlight = Torahlessness!  Below are some prime examples.  You cannot say you are following the living Torah Y'shua and following His written Torah "The Scriptures" and continue to tolerate this torahlessness even for one more moment.  The most shocking thing to me about "Twilight" is that not a single "Christian", that I know personally, can discern the grave danger of this media phenomenon, articulate this danger according to "The Scriptures" and warn the masses that are under grave delusion.

2Thessalonians 2:11-12  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: v.12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

2Timothy 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

Ya 'acob 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
 

Real World: An 80 yr old man shows up claiming to be in love with your teen daughter & asks to marry her.  Everyone is disgusted & outraged and wants to throw up at this revolting picture, calling it pedophilia and leaving you wanting to kill the pervert dead.

Twilight World: 800+ year old male(s) romances, marries and impregnates a teen girl(s) & your wife & teen daughter think it is absolutely the most wonderful thing on Earth!

Real World: You find out your teen daughter is involved in a romantic, intimate relationship with the family pet.  Everyone is disgusted at this revolting picture (bestiality) & in sheer outrage you kill the family pet and punish your daughter.

Twilight World: Animals morph into humans & make wonderful love interests and bestiality is what you wife & daughter crave more and more of whether they realize it or not.  (One of the worst dangers of Twilight is the glamorization of the forbidden.  Sounds like the garden of Eden all over again, doesn't it?)

Real World: Your teen daughter tells you she has been practicing communication with the dead and having sex with corpses.  (Necromancy and Necrophilia)  You are horrified beyond words and go into complete shock.  You immediately start praying and fasting, call for others to pray and experience spiritual warfare like you never have before.

Twilight World:  Vampires and werewolves are highly sexualized and attractive young people so you complete forget the fact that they are the living dead and that their lustful relationships are completely forbidden by "The Scriptures".

Real World: A man and his teen sons bond over the latest Miley Cyrus video while the man makes all kinds of lustful remarks about Miley's outfit (or the lack of one), moves or whatever and everyone thinks he is a pervert. 

Twilight World: Mom's and daughters everywhere oogle over the topless hunky young men and make all kinds of lustful, lust filled remarks and no one condemns this blatant hypocrisy and societal double standard.

Real World: 150,000 people will die today. Most of them will enter into eternity without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 2 Billion people have never heard the gospel preached and more than a billion do not have any kind of Bible available to them in any language they can understand it in.

Twilight World: Who cares about the unreached, lost & dying world. I am saved, I am going to Heaven and since I am under grace I am going to waste my money on more Twilight crap & who cares if it is absolute perversion, wicked in the eyes of Heaven and not one bit glorifying to the King of the Universe who shed His precious blood for me.
