The TRUTH about being a CHRISTIAN FILMMAKER!!

[@LukeHerchuk]

Thanks Ben for the great video! It's encouraging to hear that there are other believers working in this industry. I've been making short films with a Christian message for the last few years. Keep being faithful!

[@BenMartin101]

Thank you!! God bless :))

[@zaiah9252]

As a screenwriter who happens to be a Christian, this was a fascinating perspective. Hope you are doing well

Good information, thank you.

This is appreciated! Would love to connect!

Hey Ben, great video. Love the honesty and courage. Though I'd agree with the other comment that you don't need to apologize for your faith. If people don't respect what you believe that's on them. It's only what our Heavenly Father thinks of us that matters anyway. From a fellow believer / filmmaker

[@JordanMitschelen]

Been looking to go into Christian filmmaking as well. I appreciate your willingness to merge the fundamentals of the faith in what you do. The gospel is of first importance.

[@BenMartin101]

My pleasure!! Where can I reach out?

[@planetsj527]

Yo so I’m currently applying to a art/film school and I just have this concern about having to film/edit sexual scenes, lgbt characters and stuff like that. Can I have your thoughts?

[@BenMartin101]

I try and definitely stay away from content that portrays sexual promiscuity just because that doesn’t really align with my values. But if that’s something that you’re comfortable with and confident of, I wouldn’t be afraid of it. Just take inventory of your values and then act accordingly👍🏻

[@dodapictures2141]

God is actually not homophobic

[@planetsj527]

@@dodapictures2141 no I agree! I actually really have it in me to support them!! I want to….but I’m afraid even that is a sin. That’s all I know God doest hate on them. And neither do I , I promise . But I don’t think that gives me permission to go actively do things like edit films about it.

[@dodapictures2141]

@@planetsj527 Each time the New Testament addresses the topic of same sex love in a list of vices (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10), the argument being made is in context about the sexual exploitation of young men by older men, a practice called pederasty, and what we read in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans is a part of a broader indictment against idolatry and excessive, self-centered lust that is driven by desire to “consume” rather than to love and to serve as outlined for Christian partnership elsewhere in the Bible. This partnership is never condemned in any of the texts.

[@dodapictures2141]

@@planetsj527 The fact is (and I’ve done my biblical research believe me) while the six verses that address same-sex eroticism in the ancient world are negative about the practices they mention, there is no evidence that these in any way speak to same-sex relationships of love and mutuality. To the contrary, the amount of cultural, historical and linguistic data surrounding how sexuality in the cultures of the biblical authors operated demonstrates that *what was being condemned in the Bible is very different than the committed same-sex partnerships we know and see today.*

Nothing wrong with evangelizing bro, the world needs it

[@BenMartin101]

Believers lack data-driven, evidence-based reasons for their claims of authority. I love you as a human, and I don't need any gods to get there. Stay safe, stay healthy.
