Holy Ghost (2014)
2/10
True Chrisitan Biblical Critque of the film
22 October 2014
Warning: Spoilers
From a Biblical perspective there are problems with this film - 1. It's not free. 2. More than once in the film one of the guys says:

"There are many gods but only one Jesus" This is said at least twice in the film, and at the end they go into the biggest Hindu temple.

3. They say that to use "holy spirit" (they don't say 'the') one must be willing to "take risks" and "make mistakes" one must be willing to fail when trying to hear the voice of the spirit in order to know that it was not the spirit.

I must say it, and if i'm wrong may God strike me down right now, but it's actually enticing people to blaspheme the Holy Spirit by saying the above.

If one does not know that a voice or thought was from God/the Holy Spirit, but yet claims that it is, well, that is pretty much blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

As Christians we know that blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not forgiven (Matt 12:32), so we take great care in saying that anything we say or do is from the Spirit.

4. During a big dramatic prayer what is shown is images of the crowd during i guess a Korn concert, and they are all throwing up middle fingers and devils horns, why would a Christian film maker, editor, whoever, put that in as what is shown during a prayer for others to come to Jesus? Why not just continue to show the scene of them praying in the lobby? Look up the Necronomicon, it teaches how to conjure up fallen angels, there are 4 hand signs used, one is the middle finger another is the horn sign.

What it really takes to hear and fully interface with the Holy Spirit of God, is to be following the laws of Christ - Matthew 5 through 7 and Luke 6 (which includes praying in secret, and specifically, not in the streets, as in the film), and then on top of that when fully mature and really able to walk around and have miracles happen (as in the film) one would also be following a lot of the old Jewish laws in the old testament - like Deuteronomy 6:7-9 (they did not walk around talking about Gods law) One would even attribute some of Paul's teachings as laws, and therefore do them, no black makeup on your face because it appears evil, no showing of middle fingers and devil signs during a supposed prayer to Jesus, because it looks way evil. No going into the temple of some foreign "god", because there is no other God but God, who was manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Together Philippians 4:13 and Hebrews 6:1-3 describe how to really have miracles (like raising the dead) happen through the believer.

Why we don't see miracles of the Holy Spirit like during the time of the apostles, is because the apostles were following all the law (Acts 10:14, 16:3), even the old testament 613 laws. After Christ, in total there are 616 laws, if and when one follows them all, God will grant anything, time travel, anything; through the power of Christ it is possible to follow them all, He even took care of all the sacrifices.
