Where is the deception? You're skipping through these subjects without any insight. I'm waiting for you to explain Yaldabaoth, or even his son? Please name who is that you're worshipping now? Name please? Then we can talk more. Service to others > service to self.
4:35 - "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" Isaiah 5:20
I am a Christian. And I see people make these “exposing” videos where they blame the creator of music or movies or whatever for putting bad stuff in it when usually the person had no idea or that wasn’t their goal. I like how in your video you realize it’s not necessarily the people doing it on purpose but just the sin in the world and the devil deceiving them
I you think the creators of the movie and music industry are not purposefully adding in satanic ideology ? You have to be fooling yourself at the point. Satan ideology is what runs the industry. Far reaching past movies and music.
The music industry is the same, artists like Beyonce, Taylor swift etc, state they are a witch, even songs like 'dance monkey' play it backwards states I love satan. Even Katy perry states to get famous she made a deal with the devil. They take the main track to a room, perform witch craft on it for success then send it out. Then u play it & invite demons into ur home. Artists like Madonna mock god. Honestly it's demonic. Watch what u watch & listen to.
God didn't create sin. The prodigal son, who we all are, imagines it. Forgiveness ends it. "If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent."
they ate death. look at the three middle letters-EAT-don't eat that He said! you will die-they are death. sin cuts us off from The Source of life-God Himself!
As a Christian, I have to say that I feel many things in this video a bit "reaching". I mean, in 90% of stories ever told, including pre-christian ancient pagan mythology, to medieval fairytales, and many other tales, we find the idea of revolting against authority. I mean, this is one of the most common plots, how some people are oppressed and they rise, they revolt. Whether this "oppresive" force is meant to represent the christian God is debatable. I agree that animated movies, especially the new ones, and especially disney ones, have indeed a hidden message that literally corrupt our children, but not so much about gnosticism, but about the woke agenda, which includes shadow-banning christianity, and promoting atheism. In my opinion, christianity is indeed attacked in today's media, but not in a way of promoting an alternative faith, but they try to get rid of religions completely
You say this as if 'woke' is not a religion. It is, and one can trace its lineage back to Critical Theory, to Antonio Gramsci, to Karl Marx, and to Hegel. It's a twisted, inconsistent gnosticism (sex is an illusion/all in the child-god's mind, but somehow race isn't?) but it _is_ gnosticism. Mind, even without connecting woke to gnosticism it's pretty obviously a religion; you don't need to believe in a god (or God) to have a religion; see Buddhism and Confucianism.
It would be heartening were it true that the corporate media has been trying to get rid of religions, but that's not the case. You provide no evidence. Mainstream media has one goal: profit, because it's capitalist. It doesn't care about faith at all. Does it drive people to advertising (who are the true customers of the media)? If so, it will be promoted.
I’m confused with “The Truman Show.” The movie isn’t putting God in a bad light, it’s putting MAN in a bad light. It’s showing how we don’t have control over other people, we can’t dictate the weather, what will happen, and most of all we can’t create life as he did. Whether you think the movie was made to put God in glory or not, the main message was that ACTING as God isn’t right. Which is actually a very good moral lesson, especially in a world where power is placed above almost everything.
I agree with you. That take of hers on the Truman Show wasn't correct in my opinion. But it's wonderful she's using her faith to open her eyes to these things whether it's accurate or not.
They all use different story entities (metaphors) for the Aeon or Archon Creator. In the Truman Show it is advertising interests. In a Night Gallery and TZ plot it was the writer at the typewriter. In Babylon 5 it is the Vorlons and the Shadows and the 1st Ones. Each season a layer is being revealed to show a higher layer or level. A principle of Masonry and Gnosticism. Gamers and comic readers love the layers of mystery to be conquered. This they love these movies.
I saw the movie and messaging differently from the first time I watched it. To me it was trying to make God look bad constantly. As in God is only trying to control you and one must break free from His oppressive reign and rules. The town was Eden - perfect and controlled. The director was God - oppressive and only in it for his glory. Truman gained knowledge and broke free from the oppressive god to finally be able to gain autonomy. Though I can see how you described it as well. Thank you for your thoughtful insights.
Oh, and often they take away the divinity of God and put Him on the same level as humans. They see him as not perfect and righteous but a being made by humanity with all our flaws. As the Scripture would say they have a veil over their eyes and refuse to or can't see the truth.
God is either inferior, imperfect, or evil. And sadly, this is like 99% of all media we consume - Harry Potter, Superhero movies, Zelda, Dragonball, Stranger Things, the list goes on. This is why God tells us to not love the world or the things of it. I watch these, but dont love them. And thanks to your discernment Taylor, I choose to love the Lord over these things even more. Thanks!! Keep up the good work!!
I have a problem of thinking about Gundam Seed since I first saw it in my last year of middle school. Sailor Moon is the anime that got me into anime as a childhood.
Actually, the religion that was originally going to be the religion of Hyrule(Zelda's land)was going to be Christianity. However, Nintendo of America said to take that out of the game. Think about this,a game series where the creator of the series,Miyamoto who is Zaoist(I think, I know he's not Christian) in a country,Japan,that isn't Christian,was going to have Christianity be the central religion in a game series and Nintendo of America(the country that supposedly is founded on Christian principles)says Christianity shouldn't be included in the Zelda series. How ironic!
@quentincampbell612 Right! And instead it's replaced with that one eye symbol which is Satanic (it's all over in Breath of the wild and is why I don't play the game that much anymore)
Well let’s be real a lot of things have pagan origins media, holidays and even days of the week in you can believe it. I would say this Mark Driscoll says receive, reject, redeem which I think is a really good way of dealing with things when it becomes to things that have pagan origins.
Idc I love stranger things. But I love the Lord way more than anything. I love five nights at Freddy’s, stranger things, Star Wars all that. Idc bc the Lord knows my heart that stuff is just tv entertainment.
As a filmmaker and storyteller, I’m so happy that you’ve brought light to this. In the last year I’ve been becoming more cautious about movies etc. I want to always have hope, goodness and protect God in my craft. And thankfully there are a lot of Christian production companies out there that are on the rise, such as Angel Studios, 5&2, Kingdom Story Company, Affirm Films. Let’s support them and bless you Taylor.
Wow. So awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed this. We truly do need to be watchful! & You couldn't be more correct. We need to support our Christian production companies! Also, another production company I love, the kendrick brothers! God is seriously moving in the media world right now and im so happy to see it! God bless you my brother!
The definition of the word Gnostic is about as easy to nail down as a flopping fish. It is derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning “to know.” In the case of Gnosticism, what is “known” has shifted over the thousands of years since Gnosticism first reared its head during the formation and solidification of the early church. Basically, the Gnostic believes in acquiring special, mystical knowledge as the means for salvation. According to Gnostic beliefs, there is a Great God that is good and perfect, but impersonal and unknowable. The creator of the universe was actually a lesser deity-a cheap knock-off of the “true God”-who wanted to create a flawless material universe but botched the job. Instead of having a utopia, we ended up with a world infected with pain, misery, and intellectual and spiritual blindness; all matter is now corrupt and evil. However, when this lesser deity created man, he accidentally imbued humanity with a spark of the “true” God’s spirit, making man an inherently good soul trapped in the confines of an evil, material body. Contrary to a message of salvation through Christ alone (Acts 4:12), the Gnostic Jesus brings a message of self-redemption. Man only needs to examine his inner “spark” to find the knowledge needed to free himself from his material body and reach God. This alleged purity of heart is the exact opposite of what is stated in Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?” Today, Gnosticism has evolved and branched out from the exclusively spiritual into the secular and scientific. Psychologist C. G. Jung praised Gnosticism as superior to traditional Christianity as a way of thinking. Another form of Gnosticism denies the existence of God altogether, while embracing an eternal-but still flawed-universe. This atheistic form of Gnosticism doesn’t see the material world as totally evil, but as flawed and incomplete. Mankind becomes the “deity,” and it is his right to improve the human body and the world around him through his own wisdom. Christianity and Gnosticism are mutually exclusive; however, it is easy for a Gnostic mindset to seep into our own thinking if we’re not careful (1 Peter 5:8). The Gnostic is pursuing goodness, but, instead of seeking to be regenerated by Christ, he grabs hold of a man-centered purpose for living. Gnostic thought makes man “wise in [his] own eyes” (Isaiah 5:21), something Proverbs 3:7 pointedly advises against: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.” Gnostic thinking claims that deeper truth can be found apart from God. But Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Instead of searching our corrupt, flawed “inner selves” for answers, we should instead test everything against the revealed Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21). In the end, it is God’s truth alone that can be trusted.
"Man only needs to examine his inner “spark” to find the knowledge needed to free himself from his material body and reach God". Wouldn't that make Christ a gnostic by definition?
It's not that complicated. Basically any (religious) teachings that go beyond, or deeper, than the standard source material (bible, torah, etc) would be considered "gnostic" teachings
remember the phrase going turbo? King Candy is literally the bad guy - he is the one that corrupted Sugar Rush by messing with vanellope's code- lying to her about what her glitch is and forcing everyone to let him win the race in the game. Vanellope's Glitch was her gift, her fruit was the success of sugar rush because she was coded to be the winning character. King Candy lied to Sugar Rush by not telling the girls who he really was. and might i add imprisoned Felix in a dungeon. Ralph freed Feix from - so Ralph is not satan, he gives fruit to the videogame characters who are poor and oppressed.
This is why I stopped going to the internet to learn about God (besides a few UA-camrs) people out here will say all these crazy conspiracy theory’s just for views
@CoolgamerJAW2 hey at the end of the day its just a theory and it shouldn't define your faith spend some one one time with your creator , been there were you are when I was doing my first steps as a follower of Him and I also sometimes just stoped watching secular music and movies for this reason cause I gor that Holly spirit saying nono in me and I better follow it if I wanna follow Him ❤
I was raised relgious, and I still consider myself relgious, but people like this are the exact reason why I hate surrounding myself with relgious people. Most of them are unhinged pessimists that make up bs that make no sense to to feed an agenda
@CoolgamerJAW2 If these movies make her stumble then for her it is wise to stay away. Yet I knew of someone sadly he passed away recently who would pick up on Biblical messages in them. Paul writes about this with food sacrifice old to other gods. As God made all things. The big thing is that we remain grounded in the Triune God and stay in his word and pray for guidance.
I love that when I'm drowning in the world and straying away from God, the Holy Spirit guides me to your videos. It's always at the right time. Hallelujah! 😘👑
The best thing is that He will pursue you, He will never stop and will never leave you norforsake you. He will never give up. That's the best part of His Character. God is good, we are just the one who messed everything up and we blamed Him.
First of all, I want to clarify that I am a Christian. I have also studied theater and storytelling. I mention this so you don't misunderstand my perspective or think I’m opposing your core beliefs. However, the concept of a "perfect world" or "evil creator" cannot solely be interpreted as an allegory for God and the world. More often, it’s interpreted-note the keyword here-as a critique of conformity to societal norms. You should also understand that many artists feel like they don’t belong, so their work often reflects a rebellion not necessarily against God or a divine creator, but rather against any form of authority in the "normal" world-parents, institutions, politicians, etc. It’s more about challenging those earthly authorities than promoting an anti-God agenda. That said, we must remember that sin permeates every facet of human life. Most of the time, the creators of these stories are not Satanists; rather, their work reflects the unfortunate, sinful tendencies of humanity that manifest in their art. Additionally, be cautious with interpreting symbolism. Symbolism can be applied to almost anything, but the context is crucial in determining the creators’ actual intentions. Without proper context, you might reach correct conclusions but through faulty arguments. For example, when analyzing The Truman Show, the protagonist’s bow at the end was simply an actor’s bow at the conclusion of a performance. It wasn’t meant to mimic a Christ-like pose. So, while you’re correct that much of worldly entertainment reflects worldly values (which is no surprise), and that it is often unsuitable for Christians-especially Christian children-you should still approach these critiques with nuance. Finally, I encourage you to be more careful in your interpretation of scripture. Context is essential to understanding its message accurately. By paying closer attention to context, you can sharpen your discernment and make stronger arguments grounded in scripture.
I agree with certain aspects of your response, but Hollywood and Disney is filled with pedophiles and a lot of the movies they create involve inappropriate scenes, especially Hollywood. Their music industry is almost only hypersexual and definitely shaped they behavior of the youth. And i havent even mentioned the p-industry that a lot of underage children are exposed to and can’t seem to let go of due to the addictions created by it. So adding all of these things to the movies she just showed us, tells us that there is definitely a desperate attempt to lead people away from God and towards Satan. It’s not a coincidence that the West is successfully turning back into Sodom and Ghomora.
Yeah I think you’re spot on with this. The rulers in these movies are almost always intended to be seen as imperfectly human forces in society, not divine ones. In addition, Jesus Himself called the devil the “ruler of this world,” noting the tyranny and oppression that satan perpetuates in our fallen world through his deceit and temptation. Characters like Turbo from Wreck It Ralph, most clearly align with the devil rather than God. I believe these stories teach valuable lessons about not submitting to the oppressive forces in our world that would like us to conform to the sinfulness of modern culture. They promote striving for a better and new world, I.e. Heaven.
@@seanmccormick4137 You are absolutely right on this point. Each family needs to make a conscious decision and commit to being mindful of the entertainment they consume. If they choose to engage with content created by worldly individuals, the best approach would be to extract the most beneficial message from it. I’m not advocating for exclusively consuming worldly entertainment because, ultimately, it is worldly and will not provide the spiritual nourishment we truly need. However, if one decides to watch a movie or engage with other forms of entertainment, it’s important to select the best option available and, afterward, focus on identifying and reflecting on the most positive and meaningful message within that piece of entertainment.
This is really all about perspective, you can see Ralph as a sinner going on a journey to become a Christian, putting other people before himself, sacrificing himself and befriending Fixit Felix (Accepting Jesus)
You can see the king as the one who’s Satan, and phenelope, (the Jesus of this game, who returns to being loving once she becomes queen again) And can show how the devil can trick people into accepting him and casting away Jesus (aka the real queen of their land)
same for Little Foot, I can tell that it was written to undermine religion, but the song she sings just hits home. It's a story about enlightenment and finding truth, for valuing understanding, which are good things. I can easily point out to my children where the enemy has sprinkled lies, they need practice learning to discern those anyway. But I am disenchanted with modern movies, they have gone too far past the line and I'm not going to even try with them. I will still hold to the classics, but I'm skeptic of anything new.
I always saw King Candy as the Satan figure, pretending to be the god of this world. He will fail in the end, because God always prevails. Good uses the imperfect and weak (wreck it ralf) to build his kingdom. And it's good to not fit in in Babylon (glitching) because Babylon is evil and will fall. Notice that I'm the end, when the world was perfected, she didn't glitch anymore.
I think you need to watch the video again. It shows MANY clear evidences. Remember, Satan is the big counterfeit - it is true that we can be like God, but not by usurping Him, rather by yielding to Him.
You are very off-base with some of your takes. Wreck-it Ralph: Ralph is TREATED as an archetype of evil, but he aspires for GOOD. He doesn't fully understand what that means and tries to accomplish it on his own terms (pre-salvation works?) by obtaining a trinket (worldly recognition?). But his true conversion comes from an inward change (justification?) and completes his journey with an act of self-sacrifice (the greatest love?), which Satan is not capable of. He is then accepted by the "good" people once he has undergone this change (regeneration?). And King Candy is anything but analogous to God. He is a direct symbol of Satan who entered the game from outside (the serpent and the garden?) and took on a pleasant disguise to assume control. At its heart, this story is a fairly straightforward analogy for the Christian life, not a promotion of evil. Truman Show: Christoff is a false god (Satan?). He has trapped Truman in a seemingly real world that leads nowhere and has no real consequence (Secularism?). He has been given a fear of water to prevent him from realizing the means of escape (baptism?). Truman sees inconsistencies and eventually rebels, seeking to find the REAL world beyond the one he has always known - the one that matters (eternal life with God?). And in the end, he escapes through the ocean amidst a storm (water and the spirit?) before leaving Christoff behind, empty handed. He steps into darkness (death?) to be reborn beyond (resurrection with Christ?) into a new life. I'm sure there is some truth to what you propose for some movies and some directors and writers, but the fact that you ignore the obvious good in order to squeeze bad from the rock tells me that you have allowed yourself to be blinded by fundamentalist presupposition. I recommend you honestly re-evaluate some of these examples since we should celebrate good messages when they are proclaimed and support the people responsible. If we truly want to retake the culture, we can't let the good become the enemy of the perfect. P.S. Lego Movie is pure evil, so no argument there... LOL :)
Ralph literally saved the world from the anti christ, turbo is the most vile creature to exist in that world, he deceives the whole kingdom, you can clearly see how greedy they are, there’s nothing that implies the king is a god representation, more like a demon king
THANK YOU, although your name distraction beast is not helpful in the context. BUT Thank you for already breaking down Wreck-it Ralph for Taylor and anyone else that reads your comment. Taylor, please read above and then re-watch Wreck-it Ralph. Also like to add that Penelope was only glitching because Turbo entered into Penelope's game and took it over, so yes King Candy was a bad guy. Oh, Wreck-it Ralph didn't mean to mess up their party or that cake.... oh and if Wreck-it Ralph is Satan why did he meet Satan? Oh and why is him giving away food to the homeless characters a bad thing - because it was red... I guess... Also what does Ralph and Wolf have to do with anything? Why didn't you search the characters names... like Felix or Penelope... Also, just for fun sake lets just forget Turbo was around and keep it to your retelling of the story. King Candy was not the Good Guy or Father of Fix Felix... so you took quite a stretch in trying to say King Candy was the God in this game being portrayed as a bad guy. I get it, you want to make content and this seemed like a cut and dry case but did you even watch Wreck-it Ralph for this... Wreck-it Ralph is one Disney made that I felt was pro Christianity. We are all born with Sin, we seek to be good... we want to be good... That is all Ralph was trying to do.
Why is the Lego Movie bad? From what I've seen, Lord Business is representing more of an oppresive system and leader, not divine authority. And the message isn't 'rules are bad' but 'rules should serve people, not stifle them'. This idea aligns with how the Bible's rules function-they guide people away from sin, not to restrict joy, but to protect and nurture their relationship with God and others. In contrast, Lord Business's rules are rooted in control and selfishness, enforcing conformity for his own benefit, rather than helping others flourish
WHAT NONSENSE! These films could all be interpreted completely differently. The fundamental flaw in your interpretation is that you've failed to see the moral errors in the 'God' figures you've pointed out in all of these films. Nowhere do any of them claim that the ruler of their world is perfect, they are all man-made kingdoms that have flaws, and each of the rulers demonstrate their imperfection. Wreck it Ralph - People see Ralph as evil, he's not recognised as a peer, and Felix himself (your Christ character) rejects Ralph as he fears the social repercussions of hanging out such with an outcast. Ralph thinks 'there must be more to life than being a villain' and tries to change how people see him by his own efforts, and he seeks out do do something good People have stereotyped him because of his role in their game world (it's like treating an actor poorly because they played a villain, when the cameras aren't rolling the people who play the evil parts aren't actually evil). What's more, God uses broken people like us to do great things, in this case he used Ralph and a glitchy child to return a world to the way it was designed to be. Your parallels to a 'Sophia' character are truly confusing, especially when it comes to the Truman show which I would interpret the polar opposite way. Truman is trapped in a world without truth or meaning, he goes about his life noticing inconsistencies in the world that's been presented to him. He pulls the thread to see that the whole world he's living in is a lie. He has been deceived by everyone he ever knew or trusted but is helped by your 'Sophia', who actually acts more like Jesus by diving into his life of confusion and opens his eyes to the lies that are all around him, she gives him that desire to keep looking and searching for the TRUTH. She saw the cruelty of Truman's captivity and like Jesus, she came to reveal the truth to Truman. Truman was even Baptised in water on his way into new life, leaving the lie he'd lived in well behind, and there was no turning back. And the LEGO MOVIE!? You've got to be kidding me! It's about a Child fighting his own impression of his Father who has corrupted the purpose of creation (LEGO). The father in the story has disallowed his children from playing with his Lego, if he's to be equated with God, that's a pretty flawed and selfish God! Jesus calls Satan 'the ruler of this world' in John 16:11. So you have an evil overlord of the world, who rules by fear of the Kragle who's order is uprooted by Emmet, a sinless Master Builder who is forseen in prophecy who together through the power of friendship beat Lord Business, and free the land of tyranny of this evil overlord. You could just as easily put all of the 'bad guys' in these movies as the Pharisees who Jesus (or should I say your biblical Sophia character) came to disrupt. The Good news of Jesus changes the way we perceive the world. He calls us to look after the outsiders (Wreck it Ralph), to forgo legalism (Lego Movie) and and to pronounce and to seek truth (Truman). And at the end of the Lego movie, we also see how to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ when we disagree or fall out. Aladdin fo sho is a rogue, but tying any of these stories to the biblical story is unwise at best as the parallels are fleeting and don't hold up when you look at the story as a whole. Also, you seem to be hung up on your idea of perfection being this very legalistic Pharisaical, controlled and micromanaged order that doesn't actually care for the sick or outcast, but discards them. Uglyville is a perfect representation of your misunderstanding, and the Uglies are the exact people who Jesus came for, 'it's not the well who need a doctor, but the sick' Mark 2:17. Though the Uglies aren't visually perfect their harmless world of good natured fun where it doesn't matter what you look like is a far better environment to live in than a world where everyone is clambering over one another to look the most perfect. Uglyville by what I've seen from this video is actually not about a making a heaven place look gross, or a hell place look appetising, but focusing on loving one another dispite our differences and embracing. And I imagine the kind of messy grace is much more heavenly than the perfection institute. The key in that film is that people's sights are set on the wrong things, the real treasure in these movies is often friendship, teamwork, overthrowing greedy tyrants etc. Would love to hear your thoughts.
So why did god give Lucifer, the morning star/bringer of light (knowledge) such a position of authority over Earth then? Even after he started rebellion in Heaven and on Earth? What deception was found in the 🐍 mouth of the Devil when he questioned Eve, show your work? Man is created in God's image why did things go so wrong right from the beginning for Yahweh and his creation that he became angry seeking to destroy it all and after the flood it continued to go awry to the point Yahweh became a genocidal, homicidal, infanticidal angry and jealous God of Armies ordering complete annihilation, ethnic cleansing, and land theft of the surrounding tribes the Hebrews encountered while wandering the desert after Exodus from Egypt, are you serious when you equate his behaviors with love, specially the animals and human blood libel ritual sacrifices and burnt offerings, sounds evil to me. One last question, in the Bi-Bull stories narrative how many people is Satan responsible for directly killing by way of his own hand or by ordering them murdered, could you tell me? I must've missed out or skipped those tellings, huh?
I feel like the Truman Show is misrepresented here. Christoff wasn't God, he was clearly a man trying to play God. And his attempt to create a paradise paled in comparison to the beauty and complexity of the world God created. What's more, is that Christoff thinks he's motivated by love, but he's not. If he loved Truman he would let him have his agency, which is what God gave us. The reality is, Christoff was motivated by money and views. The movie is actually a biting commentary of human greed and idolatry, showing us the dystopian horror of what television and entertainment could become. It was eerily prophetic as reality TV burst into popularity in the 00s and has ruined thousands of peoples' lives and wasted millions of peoples' time.
Same, I also agree parts of Wreck it Ralph could be taken as gnostic but the evil king didn't even belong in Vanillipes game. So you could say he also represented the Devil because he wanted to steal Vanilipes' role and caused her glitch to begin with. I don't see a representative for God at all in that movie.
Parables don’t have to map one to one on to the topic they address. Also, under the specific strain of gnosticism she is discussing without naming (Manichaeism), the Demiurge (Yahweh) is a subsidiary, weak manifestation of the real God, so “The Truman Show” can be read as a Gnostic parable.
With all due respect, I think you’re reiterating the message that the video was trying to convey. Of course Christof wasn’t an accurate representation of God. The theoretically gnostic creators of “The Truman Show” movie wanted the viewers to believe that Christof’s character was similar to God, but that he also came along with all the selfish, creepy, abusive, and secretive baggage that you just pointed out. Giving Christof these attributes would paint God as the same. The “beauty and complexity of the world God created” within the movie is the theoretical movie makers trying to get you to believe that beyond the borders of God’s laws is something greater and freer. Within the movie itself , Christof IS the bad guy. These theoretical movie makers just want you to think that Christof is also comparable to God, which he really isn’t.
Woaww.. I searched about this topic since more than 10 years and never pointed out that so clearly. Darkness are really being exposed, thanks for your video !!
Do these movies push Gnosticism? Answer: no. No they do not. This vid is such a stretch. Just because a movie is similar to something doesn't mean anything. A perfect world that is a lie with an evil creator is a common TV trope. Now is it possible it was based off Gnosticism? Maybe but most likely not since Gnosticism isn't a very popular religion. And some of these movies aren't that famous, like ugly dolls. If Satan was behind this, wouldn't Satan know which movies would be a hit if he made them with this premise and which wouldn't? And, how is it trying to convince people if all people expect is a funny and silly movie and they won't pay attention that much since it isn't trying to directly shove Gnosticism in your face and it's barely there.
Thank you for taking the time to make us aware of this. It’s so good to expose the devil’s agenda, which saturates a lot of media. I pray this will turn off people’s taste for such things, and they’ll gain a hunger for the truth, seeking it out like precious treasure, and will be rewarded by the Creator.
Just because not all story writers write stories based on traditional Christian (or any Christian theology at all), that doesn't imply that they are Christian gnostics.
Might get some negative feedback but I am probably the only one here not seeing an inherent anti-Christian push of gnosticism on these specific examples. I see the association of an "evil" creator that made a "prefect" world, but the fact that in most cases the "creator" is just another human limits that association for me. There are other films and shows that push real gnosticism by showing an divine race of angels/gods that turn out to be heavily flawed/petty/evil, this is actually something that caused me to severely limit my anime intake- a lot of anime features some sort of divine species in charge that eventually reveal themselves as inferior/flawed/evil and the protagonist ends up overthrowing them. If anything the films featured here just reinforce the folly of humanity, not God, as humans create a tainted version of paradise whereas God created the real thing. So yeah, apologies if this upsets some people or makes them believe I've been ensnared by the enemy, but probably the first video where my stance doesn't align with Taylor's.
One of the larger purposes of the massive influx of polytheistic-character derived shows in the recent decade (it's in everything and everywhere now) is to give the impression that TMH is just a fragment of man's imagination that is a cis-white male thing or something. The spiritual war front is from all sides. My upbringing was in anthropology and spending a lot of time in nature. Before TMH made it very clear to me, I was stuck on that thread. Praise TMH by which all blessings and everlasting life begin and end.
I always saw The Truman Show as an example of humans trying to play God and how our unhealthy appetite for entertainment could lead us all to be accomplices in dehumanizing someone but maybe there was another message that was just lost on me since I know that God is good. 😊
I 100% agree with you. Almost every movie she mentioned was a HUGE stretch. And what bothered me most is that she didn’t even cover a lot of the plots, she just used broad strokes and stretched the narratives to fit her point of view. I swear, it’s “Christians” like these that give the rest of us a bad rep. Do I believe that the devil uses Media to push us away from God? Absolutely. Do I think that all these movies are pushing one singular agenda? Absolutely not.
That’s why my parents always made it clear to me and my siblings as we were growing up that the behavior of many of the protagonists of the movies we enjoyed was rebellious and wrong. Edit: people seem to be misunderstanding my comment. When I say my parents reminded us that the behavior of protagonists was not to be imitated, that is not to say we didn’t watch and enjoy the movie. We enjoyed those movies immensely. However, we always remembered that the majority of protagonists were not to be imitated.
@ I never said “all protagonists.” I said “most.” Also, I’ve never watched Harry Potter. Having said that, my parents had a *very* different reason for never letting me or my siblings watch Harry Potter.
@@hello-lz4xj I feel like it happened mostly with the Disney princesses. Characters like Merida from Brave and Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Belle from Beauty and the Beast to a certain extent.
@@Jerry-Greenly how were they wrong? belle chose to not judge someone by appearances and follow her dreams. Ariel also achieved her dreams by sacrifice. Merida wanted to not be forced into marriage and, after realizing that maybe consulting a witch wasn't the best idea, communicates with her mother about her love for her family and her wishes.
we all need rules to function in a society. But today is the time that the girls must relearn the rule of honouring man and husband so that the peace is kept and hell doesnt consume us all :)
This was interesting. I think that films and TV shows can definitely have subliminal messages and they may sometimes not even be intentional. I think sometimes films and TV shows can act as mass peer pressure. I think one reason why a lot of people feel discontent being single is because of characters on popular TV shows and in films that are single are portrayed as these sad characters that are to be pitied and "fixed" by their friends in relationships. I don't think the creators intend to do this most times in the example I just gave, but I think when you consume a lot of media that sends that subliminal message that singleness is bad, it can cause you to view yourself in a bad light if you're single.
I love your channel, but I get a different vibe from Wreck-It-Ralph. I see it as a movie about a guy who has been bad... but ultimately redeemed himself and learned to befriend Felix. Unlike Ralph, Satan doesn't seek redemption. Also, I think it's a bit much to say "Snake and these other demon-looking characters" at 5:12 when it's just Q*Bert, Coily, Ugg, WrongWay, and Slick... characters that have been in gaming since the early 80's. I do, however, agree that Satan will try to steer people who create content into making media that favors him. We need to be diligent and make sure his attempts don't sway us.
Feel like I have to relearn and double-check everything... God give me the energy and awareness, as well as the strength to go through all this with discernment.
Not gonna lie, I’ve been having this video pop up in my recommended probably since you posted it and dismissed it as clickbait. This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and am genuinely glad that I finally decided to watch! Thank you for sharing and helping others see through what Hollywood has been doing for so long now.
@@Real_eyes_realize_real_lies-q I guess when looked at with a secular worldview it would be interpreted wrong. You can have your beliefs, I don’t think she ever said you couldn’t. However if you look at the examples she provided through a Christian worldview, it’s clear as day. But maybe you’re right, it’s all in our heads that modern Hollywood HATES Christianity. If you couldn’t tell, that last bit was very sarcastic 😂😂😂

Yes it is. The problem comes from how people are. Most people can't empathize without not rooting for them. If you sympathize with villains too much at one point it becomes a norm and since people do like to pick sides well shit happens. Want a current example of the same approach used in media for a current belief? Do you believe gay people are born gay? Yes or no? Look at the media from early 2000s. They were slowly pushing that idea and it worked. Now most people believe people are born gay even though its not the case.
So any leader trying to control his subjects is a reference to god? Have you thought it could be a reference to dictators and absolute unfair rulers that seek to keep everyone controlled and oblivious? The Sophia character is used probably because she works as a love interest, guide, and motivator in many instances. The underlying theme with so many of these “perfect worlds” is that they are not actually perfect unlike how Eden was, so this comparison is not entirely true. A lot of these rebellious themes are probably put in to appeal to children and their proclivity to want to do their own thing. The whole conformity to a perfect world could also work as a reference to communisms nature on how it makes everyone conform to one ideology that promotes perfect coexistence, submission , ignorance, and has an absolute unquestionable dictator but is really flawed. In short, it’s not always demons.
The rebellious themes are seeds of rebellion put into the minds of children. It's poison to their minds and brain washing. Will you deny the Truman show as a reference to God and other simularities? Will you deny the show dome of being the dome of the Earth? Will you deny the darkness at the end of the movie being the darkness outside of the dome? Will you deny Christof, the creator of the show, being God the creator of Earth? Will you deny Truman being Us? Will you deny the watchers of the show, in movie, of being Angels? There is a movie called Wish, it was perfect till Asha decided to overthrow King Magnifico. Asha is a Sophia, whilst King Magnifico is God. King Magnifico created a kingdom for people to live freely in. God created a Earth for people to live freely in. Asha causes a rebellion against King Magnifico. Satan causes a rebellion against God.
Depends, did you see in the later examples of the princess movies that the daughters actively defied their fathers, which possibly led to many girls starting to defy their fathers as well due to this learned behaviour?
Well, a perfect world is a highly controlled one. The way I see it, you can support Liberty or you can support Utopia, but both cannot exist simultaneously.
Sophia is the deity of wisdom in agnosticism, also dictators have a "God" complex (in psychology) and that is without even mentioning possible possession of the individual... It's demons my brother very much so demons....don't get fooled.
3:16 Felix doesn’t just have a “resurrection power”, the characters cannot die in their own games, that is why this happened to Felix in that scene. So I don't think that the comment about him being “like Jesus” is relevant. I am not trying to offend anyone, but what she said doesn’t match up with the storyline aka the rules of the world in this movie.
Same. Glad I'm not the only one who thought about this. Though, not saying I agree with the whole "exposing" thing, but in her defense, she probably ignored that bit of information in order to make the video work. I've seen it with a lot of Film Theory stuff. They point out and mention and briefly explain things (mostly in shorts) that seem to fit the theory, while seeming to conveniently ignore what makes it not work.
WHOA 🤯 Taylor talk about mind opening video. I have never heard of Gnosticism until now. This does make me think about things differently. It could be why some movies don't feel right in my spirit to watch. I appreciate you covering this and God bless you.
@@thebiblechick to this day i'll always feel unsettled in my spirit about Wreck It Ralph. By the way Taylor, i am planning to start a christian film company/animation studio. Here is one idea that i have: it's called "The Adventures of Comic Boy". The idea: a 13 year old boy named "Jake Martin" and his talking dog named "Rufus" have been obsessed with comic books for a long time. Until one day the both of them and Jake's friend get stuck in one. Jake must rely on God and his favorite characters to help find his way out of the comic and back to the real world. Good? i have others as well. God bless!
@@thebiblechick I hope you have been able to feel that way about the TV Show called 'The Chosen' if you have been watching it, because like it or not, there does happen to be a number of elements in that currently popular show that don't line up with the elements of the actual Holy Scriptures itself.
I thought I knew this but had no idea how completely obvious. Such clear way to show the serpent's subtlety. I'm sharing this with kids and family. Well done👏
Your description of Gnosticism is incorrect. Gnosticism has many branches, similar to the way that Protestantism does, but the general idea is that the Supreme God is unknowable and incomprehensible, as well as perfect. Our material world, according to Gnosticism, could not have come directly from this perfect being, but was created by a subordinate "demiurge," who had a nightmare that created the material world. Gnosticism views all material substance, particularly that which is associated with procreation, as sinful. Procreation is the method in which the divine spark in humanity is imprisoned in this sinful material world. Many Gnostic groups were opposed to procreation or sexual intercourse because of the connection with the material world.
An important distinction among many others indeed. For example, the canonical gospels were written before 100 CE while all the other heretical ones came at around 200 CE. Which is why things like the Gospel of Judas aren't taken as canonical. Nor is the Gospel of Mary. And etc. As you stated, Gnosticism focuses on the impurity of the material realm and the need for man to ascend beyond it's impurity. It explains that impurity by the fact that only an imperfect god could have made such a world. A Demiurge. Christianity focuses on the need to purify the material realm. Because in case most people forgot, the kingdom of heaven is meant to descend on earth. And Jesus is meant to be a gateway to ridding yourself of sin. Another important difference is that, while Gnostics explain the impurity of the world through the creator being impure, Christians of the non-heretical branches explain it with Sin being the cause of the world itself and its free will, not its creator. While a Gnostic might propose that sin exists in the first place because of the Demiurge, the Christian will state that it exits because of free will and pride and nothing else. (And if the Demiurge was created and sin, it would imply that the True god which made the Demiurge, by Gnostic logic, is also impure because what he made was impure. And it goes on and on. If you state the Demiurge was not created and there are two Gods, then there are no God, only gods. And it becomes Heresy because you no longer believe in one God that is omnipotent and perfect.) Effectively, there are two explanations and none that can be proven through normal means. But if you wish to call yourself a Christian, you cannot be a Gnostic. And if you are a Gnostic, you cannot call Jesus your lord and savior without insulting what he stood for and what you believe in. What really makes Gnosticism different from Christianity is the fact that one believes in Jesus and trusts him when he says he is God in the from of man. The other may choose to trust in Jesus, but it will be forced to deny his claims of being the God of the old Testament.
@@51gn4l50ul Gnosticism defines sin as a physical substance. The Bible defines sin as an action, the transgression of God's Law. In Gnosticism, you are a sinner because you consist of material substance. In Christianity, you are a sinner because you have violated God's Law. Gnosticism cannot conceive of a perfect Redeemer, Jesus Christ, having a physical body. Different branches of Gnosticism have different ways of resolving this problem. In some, Jesus was the physical man, Christ was his non-physical spirit. In others, the physical body of Jesus was just an illusion.
@@Pooua Thanks, that is a specification I knew not! It is a very interesting difference between the two... In the end, whatever ways they have to resolve Jesus though, it doesn't change the fact that it is rather strange to believe Jesus is here to save your soul, yet still call him a liar. Then again, if Sin is not an action, then lying wouldn't really be a sin when done by a spirit.
@@51gn4l50ul I don't think the Gnostics called Jesus a liar. However, they also believed that they saved themselves. They would acknowledge Jesus as a teacher or a prophet, but salvation for a Gnostic comes by knowing the secret of their origin (that's the gnosis part of Gnostic) and achieving escape of one's divine spark from this material world.
@@Pooua Sorry, my reply is gonna be very long. I hope that doesn't bother... I understand what you mean. But you can't call a man your teacher yet ignore the pillars of his teachings, which are all very clear on the fact that men cannot save themselves, that Jesus is the god of the old Testament and that salvation is meant to redeem the material world, not allow one to leave it behind. They aren't calling Jesus a liar. But they are basically saying that Jesus is a liar because they are right and he is wrong. It's simply cause and effect. The Gnostics may think that the views they have align with the ones of Jesus, which would explain why the common Gnostic might call himself a christian or might believe that Jesus had existed. But they do not. Jesus said "I am the way.", He explained that he is the only path for men to the Father. And as you pointed out, Gnostics say "I can save myself." Other Gnostics may simply have been Christians who were convinced of Gnosticism because it gave an answer to a question they did not realize Christianity already had. My point is, you can't be a Gnostic and not also say that Jesus was lying. Because if you say Jesus was right, then that invalidates the whole religion. I want to specify that I wasn't trying to attack either groups. I just wanted to explain why Gnosticism and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Even if the people that practice the latter may call themselves Christians and have a lot of respect for Christianity.
@3:30 every videogame character can regenerate inside their own game. RALPH is not the bad guy.... he is integral to the game of fix it Felix! his absence caused the game to be shut down. Regardless of how many time Felix tossed his hammer in the air. He wants the medal because the nicelanders didnt let him have the cake! or recognize his contribution. he wasnt allowed to join the party.... NOT be better than felix - he just wanted friends - and he viewed it as the only way to get friends. Her glitch isnt a "sin" because it was never meant to be part of her character! the only way she can fix the glitch is by winning the race!!!! how can she win a race? by using a token (ralphs medal) how did you come to your conclusions? ralph sacrificed himself to save the entirety of sugarland, felix stood at the gate
1. Meanwhile the only character that respawned was Felix, so.. 2. Ralph is literally the bad guy, the movie has stated it; even with juts movie story he IS a bad guy. Especially with what he does later. 3. He wanted the medal as he was jealous of Felix and so he wanted to become BETTER than Felix. 4. I can explain it, but it'll be long. Turbo starts off as the favorite game character of the arcade. Then a new arcade game came in and Turbo was JEALOUS and so he went and ruined it. Both he and the arcade were punished, however Turbo shapeshifted into King Candy to escape punishment. Turbo changes the code of the Vanellope and took her place as ruler of Sugar Rush Kingdom. Parable change time. Lucifer starts off as the favorite angel of God. Then Adam gets created and Lucifer was jealous at how Adam became the favorite, and so he ruined Adam and both he and Adam were punished. Lucifer escaped punishment by shape shifting into an animal and escaped. Lucifer then changes the Dna of Mankind and soon becomes the shadow ruler of the Earth. Do you understand? 5. Sugar Rush Kingdom being destroyed is the Earth being destroyed, whilst the people leaving are Christians leaving with Felix(Jesus). Vanellope represents sinners and sinners aren't the ones following Jesus to safety. So Felix staying at the gate with everyone else, is really Jesus leaving with everyone else to safety; which in the movie going through the gate is the safety. Also Satan wants to rule people on the Earth, so Ralph saving Sugar Rush Kingdom to save Vanellope is like Satan wanting to stop judgement day to save the sinners.
@@Devil--Pro 1) Ralph respawned too. Not only after every level of the game but even after SACRIFICING HIMSELF to save another game world. 2) Ralph is the "bad guy" in the role he is designed for in his game world. The movie also shows Ralph wanting to be good and then PROVING himself to BE good even if his initial motivations were partly selfish. 3) Yes he was jealous of Felix because Felix constantly gets all the reward, praise and friendship just by doing what he was designed to do, yet Ralph gets nothing but disdain and loneliness doing what he was designed to do. Doesn't seem fair does it? 4) Turbo was the ACTUAL villain of the story as his jealousy drove him to actual harm and malice. Ralph just made a bumbling mistake which eventually resulted in far more good for everyone involved. 5) Those religious connections you (and the person in this video) are making are entirely subjective interpretation that has nowhere been stated by the creators of the movie. Its imposing thematic parallels onto a story that doesn't have them to begin with. This can be done with literally ANYTHING. Do you understand?
Ralph is playing a bad guy, I do think that films definitely do gnosticism but I do feel films portray leaders as bad guys but they are actually villains, so I would say they do it vicariously but not directly and stories definitely have coincidence in them. We have been telling them for thousands of years.
Ms Alesia, I’m a Christian, and I don’t mean to insult you over your ideas based off these movies, but I believe you should consider more the lore of some of them. The LEGO Movie: President Business wanted to freeze the entire universe. Wreck it Ralph: King Candy can’t be compared to God, because he was the most Satanic one of the movie. He is actually named Turbo from another game, getting it unplugged for invading other games in the arcade he was jealous of. He also wiped all the memories of the people in Sugar Rush to think Penelope was “Satan”, when she was infant the original ruler of that games land. As for Ralph, he stayed as a villain FOR HIS GAME, but when the arcade closed he was good to everyone else because he wanted to. Not to turn them to evil but to show that he had the ability to show kindness and wasn’t truly a villain. Though I do agree with you that including Satan was too far. Free Guy: The creator of Guy’s game, Free City was gonna shut down all servers, killing him and all the other npcs. The “God” of that world also encouraged the lawlessness because his game was a GTA clone. The npcs, or should we say people, inside the game weren’t even made by Free City’s creator, but rather their code was copied by someone else. Sophia in the move was trying to save HER creation from being killed, for she created his code. The Truman Show: They’ve literally held a man hostage since birth, and the creator of the show was calling himself God. Another thing, perhaps the inspiration for some plots wasn’t from the idea that God could be bad, but maybe they’re based off other evil rulers in history or maybe even present day. The way I personally see it, the plot of the LEGO Movie could’ve been inspired by North Korea and that country’s lack of freedoms because of the Kim dynasty. Again, not trying to say you’re wrong, and I certainly hope you don’t view me of someone who would feel sympathy for Satan; I just want you to consider the idea these films didn’t have any anti-god message as their moral. I do enjoy watching your other videos and wish you a blessed day 👋✝️
@@garylangford1 thats what im saying, the logic has some gaps, and the only way to see all of those things about gnosticism is to go trough the movies with a gnostic mindset or hunting gnosticism and applying a good chunk of confirmation bias But still, everyone has an opinion, this is just mine
@@luisfernandoayalahernandez6258 I’m trying to understand how mainstream Christianity is not full of Gnosticism itself? Don’t Christians believe everyone is going to hell by default or do they believe we all go to heaven no matter what because Jesus is Lord & He alone saved the world from sin?
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz The path to heaven is narrow, so Christians wouldn't think that everyone goes to heaven by default. But really there is no default. Jesus saved the world from sin? Pretty sure he offered to save sinners from a terrible future. God is not evil as he is the creator. He amde thigns his way, and his way is good. Whilst Lucifer rebelled because he didn't want to do what God wanted him to do. Also people dare call God evil, yet they end up doing their own evil making them hypocrites in their view. People dare call God evil to justify their own evil.
1. It wouldn't be a great disguised brain washing story it focusses on it's shadow secret. 3. Turbo is Lucifer in the story, the code changing was Dna being changed by Lucifer. So Vanellope's Dna is changed, and so therefore she is a glitch. Ralph didn't stay a villain for only his game, he had his villain moment when he betrayed Vanellope. I can see Ralph being a sinner falling for desire and such. Although I can see some parts of Ralph being another thing for Lucifer. Seems complicated. 4. The servers shutting down can be like the Earth beign destroyed. The island beyond the border could be like Heaven, a paradise to our eyes. The sunglasses users are like the sinners. 5. The show was under a dome, Christof was the creator of the show. The show created by Christof can be like the Earth created by God. Truman brought into the show's existence can be like God bringing Adam into existence. Also weird how your shortest paragraph is on the one thing that fits more with references to God and other stuff.
What we need was laid out direct and simple by John the Baptizer: "He {Jesus} must increase, but I must decrease" {John 3:30} More of Jesus, less of the world, less of me.
Ngl, 8 minutes in and I can’t watch this. I do NOT like seeing a demonic figure in any movie BUT a lot of the things in this movie are a stretch, and I mean a huge stretch. That’s my opinion, I don’t agree with a lot of the things said. God loves you all.
Yeah, like, there are in certain movies some anti-christian themes, but at the same time, it does seem she fell into the old adage "if you only have a hammer, everything will look like nails"
No stretch here. This young lady has done a great job revealing Satans favorite tactic. Lies. ( deception ) The truth hurts more when one has been deceived for so long. I suggest you pray to God for discernment and then you will see she’s pointing the right direction.
@jhask64 except there's plenty of deception and misrepresentation in this video itself. Gnostics, correct me if I'm wrong, worship Sophia as being a sister of Christ, God in feminine form, which is heretical but certainly not the same as worshiping Satan as this video claims. Sophia represents wisdom in Gnosticism; see "philosophy" - which etymologically is derived from "love of wisdom. The entire 2nd part of this video hinges on this misrepresentation without elaborating on what Sophia actually means to Gnostics.
Agreed. The part about comparing Ralph giving HIS HOMELESS FRIENDS food being compared to Adam and Eve being deceived by satan and eating fruit was the most ridiculous thing I'll hear all week
I do love your journey Taylor but if you think that we are The Bride + Jesus is the Prince = We are PRINCESSES and now every Disney movie is anti-christian propaganda (as you say in 15:19) then you're being mislead. Conservative western Christianity loves to create conspiracy theories about topics like this but I find that the more you go down this rabbit hole the more distracted you are from what really matters, which is Jesus. If you focus on Him rather than trying to find subliminal references about Good vs Evil (which is in literally every story ever made) I am sure you God will give you the discernment on what you should and shouldn't watch.
Thank you, life is nuance and we should remember everything belongs to the LORD and not to evil. Alot of it relies on intent, meaning, and responsible use. There are many things we can take too far and argue its meaning of, but we should beware not to become legalists.
Hi! I don't believe every Disney movie with princesses is evil. I was just highlighting on a common theme that can be found in many Disney princess movies. This video is merely a theory and one I find truly fascinating. With that being said, we are not called to ignore evil but to EXPOSE it! Ephesians 5:11 ! God bless you brother ✝
@@thebiblechickto his point, it is probably more edifying to balance both what is false and what is true in movies, rather than just focusing on the worldly themes or false religions that shine through. People who go to movies are looking for something to move them, and there are elements of truth in nearly every popular story-- albeit clouded/polluted/fractured. If you can use movies as a launch pad for pointing to the one True Story (which far outshines all others), then you have directed them toward the light, rather than simply exposing darkness. Both discernment and grace are necessary.
@JordenTually That sort of mentality on everything can sometimes in itself, unironically be gnostic and cause scrupulosity in individuals who are navigating the faith ._.
I was following with Wreck it Ralph until I remembered that it shows King Candy taking over the game and turning Penelope into the glitch while erasing everyones memories. So I would like to argue that King Candy represents the sin that can be let into our lives turning us away from the way God intended us to live.
I disagree. Certainly you are correct that King Candy isn't the creator of the game, but he did re-create the game to put himself as the ultimate power. Thus for the purposes of the story and how the concepts develop in our mind, he represents the position of god. In the end, Vanellope comes out triumphant because she embraces her inner flaws and Ralph starts the process by breaking parts of the world. Ralph wants to be good --- but he doesn't want to stop breaking things. Vanellope believes she IS good, if only the powers that be would stop oppressing her. These are both gnostic ideals. The problem in the story is that both Ralph and Vanellope are being held back by their respective worlds and only by embracing their true self will they triumph.
@@kittenisageek could you not argue that the things holding them back are sins. Even in the story of Wreck-It Ralph, it’s not the world that is holding them back. It is the people in their world in the way that they are viewed because of a thing that they cannot change until they embrace their flaws, embrace the parts of them that actually make them different. I would even call them flaws And more things that they just are as humans personality things the role in life that they are putting in so no I grew up with that movie and I never once took theological or worldview things from Penelope and King candies relationship to one another. Funny thing I saw somebody take over a created world similarly to how sin runs rampant in our world, and somebody who is affected by sin like every single other person in our world or in Penelope’s case somebody who is affected by King’s wrath, go against that and reclaim the world back for good.
I understand the concern, but honestly, that's not the vibe I got from these movies- especially the Disney princess ones; those seem more focused on themes like love, sacrifice, good vs evil, etc. Even for the other more obvious ones, that's not the themes you'd pick up on, especially as a kid. For instance, The Lego Movie for me was about creativity and determination. Wreck-it-Ralph was about redemption and self-acceptance. So yes, it's something to look out for, but it's not something to be avoided like the plague, because it has a whiff of a Biblical parallel painted in a creative light.
In my opinion, Wreck it Ralph can represent Christianity. He is bad, yes. But Felix still forgives him. Still tries to help him learn how to be better. Felix doesn't shun him, but help him grow; and Ralph wants to be better. He tries to be better. He talks about being better, and not knowing how. But when he is with Felix (which you pointed out was a lot like Jesus) he slowly became better in his ways. By being with the Jesus like character he becomes GOOD. So I think, he could show Christianity. B

Ralph, without taking Vanellope into consideration, does follow a redemption arc in a way. However, even in the end, you only get the happy ending because Ralph destroys the stuff around him and Vanellope embraces her inner self. Those are very gnostic positions. The idea that "I don't have to change myself, because everything about me is good. I have to change how other people perceive me."
I like what you said about how everyone pulls for Ralph, despite the fact that he's "bad". Same happens for the Christian god. He is guilty of nearly every extreme version of hate, and yet we are to love him? Cuz he loves us? Like how you missed the details in these movies, most Christians overlook Gods flaws, which there are MANY. Most think he's only guilty of jealousy, as thats what god supposedly said himself. Atleast with Gnostism god isnt painted as something greater than he is. I'll take the honesty over deceit. BTW, if you ever play video games, I'd highly recommend Xenogears from PS1.
Early Christianity, and Gnosticism borrowed a lot from Greek teaching. Zeus was pretty flawed, with numerous infidelities, and actively wanting to keep the gift of fire from the human race. Prometheus was the actual architect for the human race, and was fond of them. Prometheus stole fire from Mt. Olympus and gave it to the humans, and the gift of fire made many things possible that were simply impossible before. Possessing fire helped the human race rise above the other animals, and allowed metallurgy, etc. Zeus was majorly upset with Prometheus, so chained him to a rock where an eagle pecked out his liver every day (because Prometheus was a God, it grew back). After many years of suffering, Hercules eventually freed Prometheus.
It’s surprising to me that most newer shows and films are afraid to include any bit a Christianity, when it’s a part of life for most people. A lot of older shows and movies would purposely include Christian practices
One of the larger purposes of the massive influx of polytheistic-character derived shows in the recent decade (it's in everything and everywhere now) is to give the impression that TMH is just a fragment of man's imagination that is a cis-white male thing or something. The spiritual war front is from all sides. My upbringing was in anthropology and spending a lot of time in nature. Before TMH made it very clear to me, I was stuck on that thread. Praise TMH by which all blessings and everlasting life begin and end.
This blew my mind kinda gave me the creeps! Lol but what an awesome video and definitely gonna share it ill forever remain vigilant of what i watch from now on thnk you! 🍻
I suppose this idea of Gnosticism is based on prespective. Speaking as a christian myself, I don't see Ralph as a representation of the Devil, more a representation of us human, because later in the story, He gained a friend and the devil is cunning and plots to sabotage you by giving into sin. Ralph doesn't do this. He's mostly angry but ends up earning a friend, if anything the one that's more representative of the devil is King Candy, cunning, plotting, deceitful, VERY deceitful, lies, manipulates the truth, and ends up becoming infused with a virus monster anlien bug at the end and quote "I am the most powerful virus ever, I can take over any game I want". He was called turbo and after breaking his game and his own due to jealousy, another trait of the devil, he again abandoned his game after it is unplugged, joined another and took over that game full of innocence people, tricking them, became king, under the alias King Candy and put the idea in everyone's head within that game that Vennelope the original Ruler was not only a glitch, but a danger to everyone, and herself and the whole world. I wouldn't paint Ralph as the devil but more a man with flaws and having an Existenial Crisis which is a real phenomenon amongst humanity, and eventually redeems himself on saving the world and excepting who he is, a role as a villain in his game, something the devil cannot do. But this is my prespective of the character and you have yours and it's a unique prespective.
I definitely agree with this. Most of us grew up watching Wreck-It Ralph, and my parents are very much hard-core Christians. They've always been the type of Christians that are worship music and Christian movies only, but this movie was surprisingly one of our few exceptions., along with Emperors New Groove and Beauty and The Beast because they had Christian perspectives.
"the one in charge of the perfect world is evil" Don't Jesus and Paul both say that satan is the ruler of this world? I read an excerpt from Christian Anarchist philosophy--the only reason satan was able to offer Jesus all the kingdoms of the world is because "they were handed to me." I'm not sure how to interpret all of this information accurately. I see where you're coming from but this is pretty complex.
She does not know what gnosticism is. The God of this world (demiurge) is indeed a jealous, evil God. However, Jesus is a teacher/prophet of the actual realm of the real God that lives in the perfect world called Heaven. Sophia (knowledge) is not there to tell us that Heaven is a bad place.
(so who makes the rules and dictates our lives in this world/society is not God... And anyways Jesus came to bring us freedom, break our chains... So many times when following his light we do things in a completely different way to the expected/awarded in society... Not trying to impress this world, but really acting on our best conscience... Jesus himself was a societal disruptor!)
@@hette457 Yup, unfortunately a lot of Christians don't understand Gnosticism as perhaps being even closer to Jesus' teachings (and Paul's) than what most Christianity is portrayed as. Ultimately, Jesus' teachings were not worldly, they were spiritual. They weren't about having a nice family, being a strong community member, or having a pleasant physical life. They were about overcoming the physical world and the mortal body, which is damnation, and gaining salvation through one's spirit, thereby overcoming the flesh. That's basically Gnosticism. To realize that we ARE spirit and not flesh is extremely challenging for most people to understand, not to mention it goes against worldly attachments we may have to things like families, communities, identities, businesses, organizations, churches, etc. So it's no wonder world-denying version of spirituality get shut down and dismissed.
@@hette457 she does know, it is just that gnosticism is pretty stupid, its whole metaphysics is based on the problem of evil which is like school grade philosophical exercise.
Hi, a Christian here. I think that is a little bit of a stretch. You are reading in to that wayyyy too much. You could read any story book, or watch any movie or TV show, and make it sound like that if you really want to, even if it's not there.
Going to finish this video later for a full response, but the moment she brought up ‘Little Light Studios’ I just knew it would either be full ignorant or full of lies. If you don’t know them, I say pick at least one of their ‘reviews’ and see how many ‘mistakes’ you can find.
You need to understand that Hollywood is and was satanic from the beginning. The name holly wood was based off a tree in California. Even some of the early movies include witches and sorcery - Wizard of Oz (1939), Mary Poppins (1964), Fantasia (1940) to name a few. Its a sick and perverse industry where child actors are groomed. Not all stories have satanic themes though, but pretty much all the holly wood stories do. The Passion of the Christ was an independent film that Mel Gibson had to fund himself because hollywood studios refused to. Same with Sound of Freedom - Disney didnt want to fund it.. Lord of the Rings has Christian themes as it was written by Jrr Tolkein who was a Christian so there are some exceptions.
I knew I wasn't crazy thank you. I just knew she was reaching more than a rock climber the second she exaggerated about how the plot of Wreck It Ralph (my favorite Disney movie next to big hero 6) was supposed to be a light hearted interpretation of satan falling from heaven and wanting to get redemption on God from his own creations
You guys suck at being Christians. She isn't reaching. Satan runs the entertainment industries. Satan is literally in wreck it Ralph. How is she reaching? What she said makes sense. I see the same shit in my video games and animes too. Disney always be promoting satanic shit. If you think she is reaching then you people are the crazy ones. I met Christians that talked about the gospel but when I warned them what Satan is doing some of them were delusional as shit. Have you people even read about the book of Enoch that got purposely taken out of the Bible? You all need to do some research. I don't even call myself a Christian anymore because I know God and Lord are actually the names Satan and Baal uses not the creator and savior. You need to learn more and stop defending Satan's entertainment.
Gotta be honest, everything was fine and then a problem occured and then we solved it by thinking outside of the box is not necessarily a Gnostic or anti Christian narrative. Further more you don't need Gnosticism to criticize A God who wants his children/creations to be ignorant and obedient... That's like the WHOLE ENLİGHTENMENT.
Thank you for this video. Bringing to the eyes of more people. They are also destroying the masculine, by constantly making men look stupid and ignorant. Keep up the good work.
no, wreck it Ralph encourages the christian idea of forgiveness and giving second chances to people like Ralph who are not loved by society. surely we should love ralph and welcome him not cast him off as satan. ralph represents how even the worst of sinners are still human and can be forgiven
also it isn't sin, penelope has a glitch that is not her fault. she isn't living in sin. she was born with it. actually now i am thinking maybe she should try to heal the glitch, but i like the idea that what many see as an imperfection she uses as a Strength... hm. i don't know if the glitch has to be a bad thing although if the glitch is a negative thing which i have changed my mind and think it probably is then maybe she should have stopped using it for her own purposes. although she cannot help but glitch so we can't judge her too harshly
The Bible encourages us to avoid bad company because it will corrupt us. We can share the gospel with those who reject Christ or don't know Him, and we should love them, but that doesn't mean they are forgiven just because they are loved. They have to want that forgiveness, to repent. That is a choice. Wreck It Ralph had a scene where they accept "bad" as "good", which we have a commandment never to do so.
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz God is love, however he won't let sinners go unpunish for the sins they do. There is a punishment for bad actions. Not going to heaven can be a punishment, such as going to the lake of fire. It makes God sad to do it, but sinners leave him no choice; especially the wicked and of course those like Satan.
I rather see Ralph like the tax collector, remember there was a tax collector who went to the temple to pray to God, he felt guilty about his job just like how Ralph honestly felt bad about his job, you may think just because Ralph was sitting next to the Satan at the meeting, that he is the devil but I rather think of him as a sinner, and his confession during the meeting was him not wanting to lead that lifestyle anymore while everyone else discouraged him, I feel it's a redemption story, I mean it is literally, I wouldn't say Felix is Jesus but I say he's like a disciple, and that the townspeople are the body of Christ, often judging sinners. If anything the devil is represented in king candy, he put himself at the top(greedily replaced vanellope) like how the Pharisees rather put themselves above Jesus, Jesus doesn't need to directly be represented by a character but his valued can be, just like that of the devil with king candy, living out his selfishness. Felix too got upset at Ralph during the film but rather still believed in him, showing faith.
Mind = blown! Thanks so much for making this video! I can't believe I have grown up so unaware of this repetitive theme... And as you were going through them, I could think of other ones as well😳 But again, amazing work, glory to the Lord❤️
@@Sock_Juice Gnosticism is not like Judaism. The Gnostics believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of mankind. Can you show me in the Talmud where it says that?
Some of these kinda fit what you're saying, but you're stretching a lot, at least for Wreck-it Ralph and the Truman Show. In the Truman Show, the guy in charge of the show is an actual character trying to play God. This makes him more akin to the devil than Jesus. Truman isn't leaving heaven or a paradise. The movie is clear from the beginning that his life is not paradasiacal, what he's leaving is an elaborate prison constructed by someone imitating God (i.e. Satan). And for Wreck-it Ralph, Felix reads more like a cross between Bob the Builder and Mario than an intentional analogue for Jesus. Yes, he has a magic hammer that can fix anything, which he inherited from his father. The fact that he can come back to life when he dies has more to do with the fact that he's a video game character. Every character in the whole movie can do that, as long as they're in their own game. Ralph, the first character we're introduced to, was kicked unceremoniously from his home so some corporation could build a tower there. When he gives the cherry to the other background characters, he's being charitable. It's not a symbol of knowledge, forbidden or otherwise, it's a symbol of charity. Giving a homeless person an apple doesn't make you a stand-in for Satan, no matter what that homeless person looks like. And portraying Vanellope as a stand-in for Eve is wild for a number of reasons. First, she wasn't innocent prior to getting Ralph's medal, she's making fun of him and clearly doesn't believe that he's telling the truth. Second, she steals the medal from Ralph, he's not tempting her with it. And third, if you're going to say that her glitch represents sin, then you cannot also correlate King Candy with God. If anyone represents the devil, it would be Turbo, the usurper king, who uses a cheat code to insert himself into the game, disguise himself as King Candy, turn Vanellope into a glitch by removing her from the code, and return Ralph's ill-gotten medal to him. He's the one who lies to Ralph that the destruction of the world of the game will destroy Vanellope, tempting him to become an actual bad guy by destroying Vanellope's only hope of no longer being a glitch. And he's the one who turns into a huge monster at the end, determined to rule the game and even the whole arcade. When he is destroyed, the world of the game is renewed, everyone remembers the truth, and Vanellope is restored to her proper place. In my view, Ralph and Vanellope both represent common, fallen people. They each desire to be good, but are flawed and incapable of achieving goodness on their own. You interpret the "bad guy affirmation" as saying to embrace sin, but when Ralph repeats it at the end of the movie, he's not using it to say, "Guess I'll just be evil," he's in the middle of doing the most selfless thing he can. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
Trust me, these people get most of their knowledge from the devil. They can be as subtle as an innocent Disney movie, but behind the scenes, they’re turning you into a cog in this corrupt global system we’re "stuck in". Like I said, you know what the devil’s called? Father of lies, master deceiver. Sounds familiar? Don’t underestimate him or his minions, and seek Jesus, read a Bible❤
I always interpreted these movies as a message to not follow the control of the enemy and to stop being like the sinful world. To step out in faith following the Lord. I dunno that's how I've always seen it and was inspired in that way.
Thanks! Interesting video! I used to think, many years ago, that all those princess movies have the same plot, and they make “the ugly/the outsider” more attractive than the “boring prince”. This drives every little girl to wish an outlaw life, and avoid an ordinary one, exactly as you explain. Thanks a lot!
That's animism. It's the idea that natural objects, like trees, have a spirit. I think spiritual ecology might be the most updated version for westerners. Ancient animism isn't exactly popular, only remote tribes still practice it, so the primitivist traditions don't generally appeal to many modern people. You definitely see animism in movies involving tribal people, Celtic culture, and some Asian traditions.
Okay, but wouldn't you just come to the truth eventually? That God is good? Even if you have a blasphemous view of God, it won't last forever. The truth will always reveal itself.
@stiimuli the point is to mindful of what we are consuming. Even if something is technically "harmless" it can become a stumbling block got others. The enemy is tricky and sneaky sometimes. Sometimes he may use something that seems good, but is actually a distortion of truth to slowly mislead people. Nuances that may be obvious to us may not be to everyone. And when you take in the fact that most of these movies arent written by people who believe in God, who dont have God as the center of their views... isnt it obvious that we should be careful how much of or attention and time, our focus, should be dedicated to enjoying these. Especially when so much of entertainment can be addicting for many
"I don't agree with the argument in this video. While it's true that some films and cartoons use religious symbolism or themes, it seems like a stretch to say they’re ‘pushing’ a specific religion. Many of the examples she mentions could easily be interpreted in other ways, and often these themes are just common storytelling devices, not necessarily religious messages. It feels like some of these instances are being taken out of context or overanalyzed. Just because a movie includes a symbol or a theme that could relate to religion doesn’t mean it’s trying to push a religious agenda. Stories often explore universal human experiences that transcend any one belief system."
I would rather say that "these" movies or even most movies push the religion of "there is no God". Fullstop. Some movies are more obvious mocking God, others are very subtle or they spread the believes of those who make the movies that X is okay under certain circumstances or not so bad etc. Surely these movies don't point to the creator. This is just a spontaneous thought but I think that movies can make impressionable viewers believe in aliens. Fantasy worlds. The Matrix. Secret Societies. Or even in concepts like "violence against bad people is good". Or movies can also scare you, futuristic dystopian movies, social unrest, crises, etc. I think certain movies can be very effective means for implanting their ideas in the viewer's heads. I am unsure if those movies mentioned in this video deliberately attack God or not. The script writers surely have a basic knowledge about the bible, most people know the basics and they consciously or subconsciously put these ideas into their movies because a movie about any random normal person (Truman, Free Guy, Harry Potter, Frodo) being woken up and being forced to leave his safe space makes for a compelling story that many viewers can relate to.
Debatable. Religion comes from a French word that means "relationship", and in any case, given the God-shaped hole in our hearts, it makes sense that not knowing of Him, we'd want *someone* to worship. Grabbing us before discover Him? That is the devil's greatest objective, get us subtlety conditioned to want to be gods ourselves so that when He greets us, we're already programmed to say," shove off."
@ChristsGoodNews Anything we practice over time is fundamentally religious. Sports, work, etc. Action and focus combined with the philosophies underlying them becomes and is religious. Money is a religion the western civilizatioin
Thank you for making this video. I have a hard time finding movies I want to show my children even if I've grown up with said movie. There are just os many bad choices the good guy makes. I would've never showed my children the Lord of the Rings if I had remembered that wizards, magicians, sorcerers, and etc. was evil. I am reading the Bible and for the first time, despite reading it many times, I can actually see what's right in front of me. I'm not just meddling through. And I'm increasingly fearful for my children, myself, and my loved ones.
@yaafridge2522 But the kind of Christianity that Ms Alesia espouses, I suspect, will argue that Catholicism is not Christianity but another kind of Satanism ...
My frustration with this post is that you remark on Gnosticism in movies without acknowledging the influence of Gnosticism in our own religion. The ideas of Heaven and Hell as they are generally understood in so many churches are soaking with with gnostic influence. I’m all about trying to live a life above reproach, and as Christians, we have to be even more critical of our own fundamental ideals and understanding of scripture, and our ability to take the text to context. Anyways, thanks for sharing as always. Keep loving Jesus, and doing his work. God bless.
That being said, been in Hosea lately, and it is haunting how easily we can lose our saltiness amidst the empire we live in. Important to remember that genuine worship of the one most high and loving our neighbors sacrificially are the foundation God calls us to. Nothing above those things.
@@bigbucks0692 I’m trying to understand how mainstream Christianity is not full of Gnosticism itself? Don’t Christians believe everyone is going to hell by default or do they believe we all go to heaven no matter what because Jesus is Lord & He alone saved the world from sin? It always sounded to me like Christianity has more bad news than good news & I think that is the result of Gnosticism.
@@bigbucks0692I mean this in all gentleness, but trusting in Jesus to pay for our sins is the true foundation as outlined in 1 Corinthians 3. Not our works, nothing. No one can set another foundation, and everything else must come after. I agree with loving our neighbors and living in truth, which is true worship according to Scripture, but the Bible in Hebrews says it is impossible to please God without faith. Jesus is the cornerstone/foundation laid by God, and everything else is because we love Him. God bless and have a wonderful day! 🙏
I LOVE Little Light Studios. God brought me to their channel as a child and because the truth is so strong I understood what they were saying immediately. I kept watching movies for years later still but the truth was always in my ear. I got rebaptised last year, and right now I just want to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
Wow! Incredible video. This really opend my eyes to some of the spiritual warfare that is happening under our noses. I wonder what other things we have overlooked.
One book I recommend everyone to read in 2025 is Your Life Your Game by Keezano… It beautifully shows how living a life rooted in Christianity and nurturing meaningful relationships can lead to spiritual growth and success in both your personal and professional life. This book truly changed my life-a must-read. God bless✝💟
This comment is a bot, I keep seeing the same type of comment everywhere on Christian videos, the people you see reply are also bots, don't fall for their lies please 😢
Sometimes an apple is just an apple. A thief is just a thief, not the incarnation of the devil in a movie or music. Jesus said "the truth will set you free", and when you find the truth, you find knowledge, they both go together and there's nothing evil about knowledge. The world is not 6000 years old as some people calculate from The Bible, a book full of symbols and stories designed to help people understand and face a world full of dangers, unknown and big, and its teachings are an instruction manual to behave in society, instructions needed because we were as kids and we're learning about a whole deal of complex stuff such as morals, ethics, good and evil and God and our relationship with Him. But make a comparison between the Old Testament and the new and how Jesus Christ changes a lot of things. Was that bad? No. But the religious authorities of his time saw his actions as bad, an attack to their power and they gave him away to the Romans so they would do the dirty job of killing Jesus of Nazareth for them. Nice, huh? They satanized Jesus, now you do it with a lot of movies, just as Islamics do with everyone and everything western or anything that gives women power and freedom. Don't commit a sin for being too righteous, you're not a judge and a jury.
Thank you. I'm a pastor's kid and try to educate people on these things. I'm so grateful my dad values the work of biblical scholars and theologians, rather than taking anything literally. So much in the Bible is symbolism and metaphor, and the writers were flawed humans and products of their time who wanted to control their societies, particularly women or anyone who didn't fit into their patriarchal mold. Even inspiration from God can get lost in translation. This whole modern "good vs. evil"/"Satanic influence" thing is something I've noticed is primarily a product of the West. This video doesn't even fully grasp what Gnosticism is. It's just straight paranoia involving overanalysis of symbolism and tropes. Most religions center around some type of wisdom, even early Judaism and Christianity had some esoteric elements. In this case however, we're talking about a society that would seem perfect on the outside, at least to everyone indoctrinated by it, and the themes show how people who don't fit into that patriarchal mold get abandoned and left behind, or when they resist, branded as "evil by nature". It's the broken system itself that causes people to steal and create chaos when their needs aren't met. Extremism is a product of lack. Another reason I can't stand fundie literalists--aside from them ignoring the needs of 'the least of these'--is because of the damage they do and have historically done. There are two types of Christianity, one that is genuine, and one which is a tool of the state. I call the latter Constantine Christians, because they only "believe" for the purposes of saving souls and controlling people based on some fantastical myth they have in their head, and they believe they'll get rewarded in the afterlife. If only they actually read the Bible...
Merry Christmas to all! Jesus loves his sheep! It's not about religion but having a relationship with Jesus Christ! There is no religion in Heaven. Remember, Jesus loves us. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
3:27, the resurrection that happened to fix it Felix is not unique to him. Any of the characters in the movie can resurrect from death, so as long as they die in their own game and aren't a glitch like Venelope. Video game characters come back from the dead all the time. For example, in Minecraft, your character is able to respawn after death. That is probably what the movie was going for. Also Wreck it Ralph giving the fruit to the ghosts (not demons) is not meant to be a parallel to Satan tempting Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. It is meant to show a few things. First off Ralph is an inherently good character in the movie by generously giving food to the ghosts without expecting anything in return (he does many more good things). Secondly, Ralph is more than just the "bad guy" he is programmed to be. He has his own character beyond the programming given to him by the game developers. That is also true of every other character in the movie (for example Turbo was programmed to be the hero of his game but chose to be the villain.)
@PraiseDudu if you pay attention to the plot line of the story, there is a similar narrative like the ones she mentioned in this video. Rewatch the movies and you will see what I mean hopefully. Pay attention to Chris Pratt's dad in the movies.
Hi, thanks for this video. As a boomer, a lot of us has known and seen this going on for such a long time. Symbolism, blaphemous statements in movies, taking the Lords name in vein, laughter at the mention fo Jesus in public, televised arenas as so on. The concept of the 'higher being' being manevolent and resisted at all costs for 'personal enlightenment' is definately not new. Replacing western christian ideologies with a 'new world' approach has been quite successful and its results are clearly evidant in todays society. Keep up the good work.
Wait, wait, wait. Too fast, too exaggerated. I don't think it's worth reducing the whole scenario to symbolism. In fact, it turns out that in this case, you can reduce to gnosticism any story where authority is questioned. But this is not very correct. Maybe it means that not every authority should look like God, and not every rule should be considered a commandment. After all, we are told that we must be wise as snakes.
Wow! When I saw this video on my youtube feed something was telling me to scroll past, but I decided to watch it. Thank God I did! God bless Taylor and may God keep protecting us.
I'm watching another unrelated video, but saw your face. I watched how you started Taylor. I am so glad, that with so many people openly choosing the wrong path, you chose Christ, I love you for that. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, this video was such is eye-opener to be more aware of things around you. The Devil is subtle. You just earned a subscriber. God bless you, Taylor.
I thought a couple of the other movies were a reach, but she went on about Wreck It Ralph for four or five minutes and had my mind reeling! 🤯 I clicked on the video with skepitism, thinking that although she's awesome, she couldn't be serious this time, but there are too many similarities between the Bible and story of Wreck It Ralph to be coincidental 😳😳
@@faithmarshall309 Hi Faith, thank you for writing a considerate comment. Personally im pretty into the whole conspiracy thing, celebrities selling their souls to the devil, people going missing at disney etc etc. In this instance, its absolutely a reach. Taylor is portraying Candy kingdom and the girls within it as the "good guys," (with ralph and vanellope being portrayed as analogies for satan) however in the film its very clear that King Candy has infiltrated this game unlawfully from another game, and has attempted to kill vanellope in order to take her place. The other girls were the exact same as vanellope originally, except vanellope is now just trying to fit in again after she was almost killed. I see the similarities, especially with the carpenter, but its easy to find similarities anywhere, the real challenge is finding the differences. Wreck it ralph (who taylor is again saying is a villian), is not actually a villian in the film, he is just the antagonist of the game, similar to an actor. In both the first and second films, he risks his life trying to save others (which is what jesus did). I'm a big fan of Taylors content, and she has helped both me and my girlfriend come closer to jesus than ever before, however its clear that this video is a reach, and that her content is not always the most well thought out, which i will not bash on her for as it is not easy to discuss matters of the spirit and the heart using comparisons of the world. This is also not me saying that she is wrong that Gnostisism is being pushed everywhere in media, that is undeniable. Taylor if you read this, i hope your next video is an improvement on this one! keep spreading the gospel.
Christian who happens to be a 3D animator here.. Disliked the video because many of the claims are a stretch If villian and hero archetypes align with the Bible is because the Bible does it the best
@stiimuli You're allowed to disagree. I'd say it is the best because the Bible claims it's the truth to our reality. This includes the nature of evil, good, and humanity. Modern media that plagiarize or burrow from the Bible does pretty well. Think Dune, LOTR, Warhammer, etc. Drawing inspiration from the Bible makes our stories better because it makes them more true. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, though.
@@timothy209 1) It seems very odd to state that drawing inspiration from the bible makes stories more true. That's simply a non sequitur even if one considers biblical stories to be true. 2) Good, evil and humanity have been explored in stories long before any part of the bible was written as well as in other cultures. What you may think is being borrowed from the bible may more likely just be reoccurring themes and devices from thousands of years of human storytelling (unless specifically referential).
@stiimuli 1) I guess what I meant is that whatever the story comments on morality or reality is more true if it aligns with the Bible. 2) Could very well be. There are hundreds of years of unrecorded oral tradition and stories. It could be that the Biblical stories we do have been told long before the Bible was compiled. Such as Job
Insightful stuff, thanks for sharing, the devil blinds the minds of unbelievers but the Lord opens our eyes to these kind of things as we grow in Christ. Great deep dive!
Thankful that my eyes have been made open to this deception. How about you?
its the fact that i used to watch some of these movies when i was younger and didn’t even notice 😭😭😭
thanks for making this video! God bless u Taylor and who ever else comes acrossed this comment
God bless u for exposing this deception in
If you dare search Jesus and Allah conversation on youtube
Where is the deception? You're skipping through these subjects without any insight.

@@itsJPherewhere
I am a Christian. And I see people make these “exposing” videos where they blame the creator of music or movies or whatever for putting bad stuff in it when usually the person had no idea or that wasn’t their goal. I like how in your video you realize it’s not necessarily the people doing it on purpose but just the sin in the world and the devil deceiving them
I agree that it’s not necessary done concisely, but just as a spirit, or even fashion of the time
Most of these were absolutely way too obvious to be coincidences.
I you think the creators of the movie and music industry are not purposefully adding in satanic ideology ? You have to be fooling yourself at the point. Satan ideology is what runs the industry. Far reaching past movies and music.
The Bible does that more than anything else.......
The music industry is the same, artists like Beyonce, Taylor swift etc, state they are a witch, even songs like 'dance monkey' play it backwards states I love satan. Even Katy perry states to get famous she made a deal with the devil. They take the main track to a room, perform witch craft on it for success then send it out. Then u play it & invite demons into ur home. Artists like Madonna mock god. Honestly it's demonic. Watch what u watch & listen to.
Sin is the reason for the pain, heartbreak, and hurt that we experience here on Earth.
Yeah, bad place to experience cause of sin 🤦♂️🤦♂️
True ngl
sin cosin sine cosine.
God didn't create sin. The prodigal son, who we all are, imagines it. Forgiveness ends it.
"If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent."
they ate death. look at the three middle letters-EAT-don't eat that He said! you will die-they are death. sin cuts us off from The Source of life-God Himself!
As a Christian, I have to say that I feel many things in this video a bit "reaching". I mean, in 90% of stories ever told, including pre-christian ancient pagan mythology, to medieval fairytales, and many other tales, we find the idea of revolting against authority. I mean, this is one of the most common plots, how some people are oppressed and they rise, they revolt. Whether this "oppresive" force is meant to represent the christian God is debatable. I agree that animated movies, especially the new ones, and especially disney ones, have indeed a hidden message that literally corrupt our children, but not so much about gnosticism, but about the woke agenda, which includes shadow-banning christianity, and promoting atheism. In my opinion, christianity is indeed attacked in today's media, but not in a way of promoting an alternative faith, but they try to get rid of religions completely
You say this as if 'woke' is not a religion. It is, and one can trace its lineage back to Critical Theory, to Antonio Gramsci, to Karl Marx, and to Hegel. It's a twisted, inconsistent gnosticism (sex is an illusion/all in the child-god's mind, but somehow race isn't?) but it _is_ gnosticism.
Mind, even without connecting woke to gnosticism it's pretty obviously a religion; you don't need to believe in a god (or God) to have a religion; see Buddhism and Confucianism.
It would be heartening were it true that the corporate media has been trying to get rid of religions, but that's not the case. You provide no evidence. Mainstream media has one goal: profit, because it's capitalist. It doesn't care about faith at all. Does it drive people to advertising (who are the true customers of the media)? If so, it will be promoted.
I’m confused with “The Truman Show.” The movie isn’t putting God in a bad light, it’s putting MAN in a bad light. It’s showing how we don’t have control over other people, we can’t dictate the weather, what will happen, and most of all we can’t create life as he did. Whether you think the movie was made to put God in glory or not, the main message was that ACTING as God isn’t right. Which is actually a very good moral lesson, especially in a world where power is placed above almost everything.
I agree with you. That take of hers on the Truman Show wasn't correct in my opinion. But it's wonderful she's using her faith to open her eyes to these things whether it's accurate or not.
@@xanderfixion7034it was kinda the same with the matrix, they don't understand how their "proof" actually is against their agenda
They all use different story entities (metaphors) for the Aeon or Archon Creator. In the Truman Show it is advertising interests. In a Night Gallery and TZ plot it was the writer at the typewriter. In Babylon 5 it is the Vorlons and the Shadows and the 1st Ones. Each season a layer is being revealed to show a higher layer or level. A principle of Masonry and Gnosticism.
Gamers and comic readers love the layers of mystery to be conquered. This they love these movies.
I saw the movie and messaging differently from the first time I watched it. To me it was trying to make God look bad constantly. As in God is only trying to control you and one must break free from His oppressive reign and rules. The town was Eden - perfect and controlled. The director was God - oppressive and only in it for his glory. Truman gained knowledge and broke free from the oppressive god to finally be able to gain autonomy.
Though I can see how you described it as well. Thank you for your thoughtful insights.
Oh, and often they take away the divinity of God and put Him on the same level as humans. They see him as not perfect and righteous but a being made by humanity with all our flaws. As the Scripture would say they have a veil over their eyes and refuse to or can't see the truth.
God is either inferior, imperfect, or evil. And sadly, this is like 99% of all media we consume - Harry Potter, Superhero movies, Zelda, Dragonball, Stranger Things, the list goes on. This is why God tells us to not love the world or the things of it. I watch these, but dont love them. And thanks to your discernment Taylor, I choose to love the Lord over these things even more. Thanks!! Keep up the good work!!
I have a problem of thinking about Gundam Seed since I first saw it in my last year of middle school. Sailor Moon is the anime that got me into anime as a childhood.
Actually, the religion that was originally going to be the religion of Hyrule(Zelda's land)was going to be Christianity. However, Nintendo of America said to take that out of the game. Think about this,a game series where the creator of the series,Miyamoto who is Zaoist(I think, I know he's not Christian) in a country,Japan,that isn't Christian,was going to have Christianity be the central religion in a game series and Nintendo of America(the country that supposedly is founded on Christian principles)says Christianity shouldn't be included in the Zelda series. How ironic!
@quentincampbell612 Right! And instead it's replaced with that one eye symbol which is Satanic (it's all over in Breath of the wild and is why I don't play the game that much anymore)
Well let’s be real a lot of things have pagan origins media, holidays and even days of the week in you can believe it. I would say this Mark Driscoll says receive, reject, redeem which I think is a really good way of dealing with things when it becomes to things that have pagan origins.
Idc I love stranger things. But I love the Lord way more than anything. I love five nights at Freddy’s, stranger things, Star Wars all that. Idc bc the Lord knows my heart that stuff is just tv entertainment.
As a filmmaker and storyteller, I’m so happy that you’ve brought light to this. In the last year I’ve been becoming more cautious about movies etc. I want to always have hope, goodness and protect God in my craft. And thankfully there are a lot of Christian production companies out there that are on the rise, such as Angel Studios, 5&2, Kingdom Story Company, Affirm Films. Let’s support them and bless you Taylor.
Wow. So awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed this. We truly do need to be watchful! & You couldn't be more correct. We need to support our Christian production companies! Also, another production company I love, the kendrick brothers! God is seriously moving in the media world right now and im so happy to see it! God bless you my brother!
Angel studios is junk
Emphasis these!

Ask GOD for discerment. Even "Christian" productions can be counterfeits.

The definition of the word Gnostic is about as easy to nail down as a flopping fish. It is derived from the Greek word gnosis, meaning “to know.” In the case of Gnosticism, what is “known” has shifted over the thousands of years since Gnosticism first reared its head during the formation and solidification of the early church.
Basically, the Gnostic believes in acquiring special, mystical knowledge as the means for salvation. According to Gnostic beliefs, there is a Great God that is good and perfect, but impersonal and unknowable. The creator of the universe was actually a lesser deity-a cheap knock-off of the “true God”-who wanted to create a flawless material universe but botched the job. Instead of having a utopia, we ended up with a world infected with pain, misery, and intellectual and spiritual blindness; all matter is now corrupt and evil. However, when this lesser deity created man, he accidentally imbued humanity with a spark of the “true” God’s spirit, making man an inherently good soul trapped in the confines of an evil, material body.
Contrary to a message of salvation through Christ alone (Acts 4:12), the Gnostic Jesus brings a message of self-redemption. Man only needs to examine his inner “spark” to find the knowledge needed to free himself from his material body and reach God. This alleged purity of heart is the exact opposite of what is stated in Jeremiah 17:9: “The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; who can understand it?”
Today, Gnosticism has evolved and branched out from the exclusively spiritual into the secular and scientific. Psychologist C. G. Jung praised Gnosticism as superior to traditional Christianity as a way of thinking. Another form of Gnosticism denies the existence of God altogether, while embracing an eternal-but still flawed-universe. This atheistic form of Gnosticism doesn’t see the material world as totally evil, but as flawed and incomplete. Mankind becomes the “deity,” and it is his right to improve the human body and the world around him through his own wisdom.
Christianity and Gnosticism are mutually exclusive; however, it is easy for a Gnostic mindset to seep into our own thinking if we’re not careful (1 Peter 5:8). The Gnostic is pursuing goodness, but, instead of seeking to be regenerated by Christ, he grabs hold of a man-centered purpose for living. Gnostic thought makes man “wise in [his] own eyes” (Isaiah 5:21), something Proverbs 3:7 pointedly advises against: “Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.”
Gnostic thinking claims that deeper truth can be found apart from God. But Proverbs 1:7 says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Instead of searching our corrupt, flawed “inner selves” for answers, we should instead test everything against the revealed Word of God (1 Thessalonians 5:21). In the end, it is God’s truth alone that can be trusted.
"Man only needs to examine his inner “spark” to find the knowledge needed to free himself from his material body and reach God". Wouldn't that make Christ a gnostic by definition?
God bless you! Keep at it. Jesus Christ saves alone. Jesus Christ loves you alone. Great information.
Maybe it's Luciferanism instead, or as well as: much the same.
It's not that complicated. Basically any (religious) teachings that go beyond, or deeper, than the standard source material (bible, torah, etc) would be considered "gnostic" teachings
@@dk9024 That would be true only if Christ was a mere man, instead of God made flesh
remember the phrase going turbo? King Candy is literally the bad guy - he is the one that corrupted Sugar Rush by messing with vanellope's code- lying to her about what her glitch is and forcing everyone to let him win the race in the game. Vanellope's Glitch was her gift, her fruit was the success of sugar rush because she was coded to be the winning character.
King Candy lied to Sugar Rush by not telling the girls who he really was. and might i add imprisoned Felix in a dungeon. Ralph freed Feix from - so Ralph is not satan, he gives fruit to the videogame characters who are poor and oppressed.
In all honesty Reck it Ralph reprints the classic oppressive ruler that has been shown throughout history. Art reflects life.
This is why I stopped going to the internet to learn about God (besides a few UA-camrs) people out here will say all these crazy conspiracy theory’s just for views
@CoolgamerJAW2 hey at the end of the day its just a theory and it shouldn't define your faith spend some one one time with your creator , been there were you are when I was doing my first steps as a follower of Him and I also sometimes just stoped watching secular music and movies for this reason cause I gor that Holly spirit saying nono in me and I better follow it if I wanna follow Him ❤
I was raised relgious, and I still consider myself relgious, but people like this are the exact reason why I hate surrounding myself with relgious people. Most of them are unhinged pessimists that make up bs that make no sense to to feed an agenda
@CoolgamerJAW2 If these movies make her stumble then for her it is wise to stay away. Yet I knew of someone sadly he passed away recently who would pick up on Biblical messages in them.
Paul writes about this with food sacrifice old to other gods. As God made all things. The big thing is that we remain grounded in the Triune God and stay in his word and pray for guidance.
I love that when I'm drowning in the world and straying away from God, the Holy Spirit guides me to your videos. It's always at the right time. Hallelujah! 😘👑
This simply could not put a bigger smile on my face!

@@missfefelovesJesus loves you
I first thought it was just secular ideology, but this really makes sense.
It's Judaism. Read the Talmud.
That's exactly what it is!
First of all, I want to clarify that I am a Christian. I have also studied theater and storytelling. I mention this so you don't misunderstand my perspective or think I’m opposing your core beliefs. However, the concept of a "perfect world" or "evil creator" cannot solely be interpreted as an allegory for God and the world. More often, it’s interpreted-note the keyword here-as a critique of conformity to societal norms.
You should also understand that many artists feel like they don’t belong, so their work often reflects a rebellion not necessarily against God or a divine creator, but rather against any form of authority in the "normal" world-parents, institutions, politicians, etc. It’s more about challenging those earthly authorities than promoting an anti-God agenda.
That said, we must remember that sin permeates every facet of human life. Most of the time, the creators of these stories are not Satanists; rather, their work reflects the unfortunate, sinful tendencies of humanity that manifest in their art. Additionally, be cautious with interpreting symbolism. Symbolism can be applied to almost anything, but the context is crucial in determining the creators’ actual intentions. Without proper context, you might reach correct conclusions but through faulty arguments.
For example, when analyzing The Truman Show, the protagonist’s bow at the end was simply an actor’s bow at the conclusion of a performance. It wasn’t meant to mimic a Christ-like pose. So, while you’re correct that much of worldly entertainment reflects worldly values (which is no surprise), and that it is often unsuitable for Christians-especially Christian children-you should still approach these critiques with nuance.
Finally, I encourage you to be more careful in your interpretation of scripture. Context is essential to understanding its message accurately. By paying closer attention to context, you can sharpen your discernment and make stronger arguments grounded in scripture.
I agree with certain aspects of your response, but Hollywood and Disney is filled with pedophiles and a lot of the movies they create involve inappropriate scenes, especially Hollywood. Their music industry is almost only hypersexual and definitely shaped they behavior of the youth. And i havent even mentioned the p-industry that a lot of underage children are exposed to and can’t seem to let go of due to the addictions created by it. So adding all of these things to the movies she just showed us, tells us that there is definitely a desperate attempt to lead people away from God and towards Satan.
It’s not a coincidence that the West is successfully turning back into Sodom and Ghomora.
Yeah I think you’re spot on with this. The rulers in these movies are almost always intended to be seen as imperfectly human forces in society, not divine ones. In addition, Jesus Himself called the devil the “ruler of this world,” noting the tyranny and oppression that satan perpetuates in our fallen world through his deceit and temptation. Characters like Turbo from Wreck It Ralph, most clearly align with the devil rather than God.
I believe these stories teach valuable lessons about not submitting to the oppressive forces in our world that would like us to conform to the sinfulness of modern culture. They promote striving for a better and new world, I.e. Heaven.
Im commenting to put help people see this. You are spot on.
@@herewego5679 Thank you
@@seanmccormick4137 You are absolutely right on this point. Each family needs to make a conscious decision and commit to being mindful of the entertainment they consume. If they choose to engage with content created by worldly individuals, the best approach would be to extract the most beneficial message from it.
I’m not advocating for exclusively consuming worldly entertainment because, ultimately, it is worldly and will not provide the spiritual nourishment we truly need. However, if one decides to watch a movie or engage with other forms of entertainment, it’s important to select the best option available and, afterward, focus on identifying and reflecting on the most positive and meaningful message within that piece of entertainment.
This is really all about perspective, you can see Ralph as a sinner going on a journey to become a Christian, putting other people before himself, sacrificing himself and befriending Fixit Felix (Accepting Jesus)
You can see the king as the one who’s Satan, and phenelope, (the Jesus of this game, who returns to being loving once she becomes queen again) And can show how the devil can trick people into accepting him and casting away Jesus (aka the real queen of their land)
same for Little Foot, I can tell that it was written to undermine religion, but the song she sings just hits home. It's a story about enlightenment and finding truth, for valuing understanding, which are good things. I can easily point out to my children where the enemy has sprinkled lies, they need practice learning to discern those anyway. But I am disenchanted with modern movies, they have gone too far past the line and I'm not going to even try with them. I will still hold to the classics, but I'm skeptic of anything new.
@@ThatOneLadyOverHere the classics aren't much better. They just had to hide it more. They can be more open about it now
I always saw King Candy as the Satan figure, pretending to be the god of this world. He will fail in the end, because God always prevails. Good uses the imperfect and weak (wreck it ralf) to build his kingdom. And it's good to not fit in in Babylon (glitching) because Babylon is evil and will fall. Notice that I'm the end, when the world was perfected, she didn't glitch anymore.
I think you need to watch the video again. It shows MANY clear evidences. Remember, Satan is the big counterfeit - it is true that we can be like God, but not by usurping Him, rather by yielding to Him.
You are very off-base with some of your takes.
Wreck-it Ralph: Ralph is TREATED as an archetype of evil, but he aspires for GOOD. He doesn't fully understand what that means and tries to accomplish it on his own terms (pre-salvation works?) by obtaining a trinket (worldly recognition?). But his true conversion comes from an inward change (justification?) and completes his journey with an act of self-sacrifice (the greatest love?), which Satan is not capable of. He is then accepted by the "good" people once he has undergone this change (regeneration?). And King Candy is anything but analogous to God. He is a direct symbol of Satan who entered the game from outside (the serpent and the garden?) and took on a pleasant disguise to assume control. At its heart, this story is a fairly straightforward analogy for the Christian life, not a promotion of evil.
Truman Show: Christoff is a false god (Satan?). He has trapped Truman in a seemingly real world that leads nowhere and has no real consequence (Secularism?). He has been given a fear of water to prevent him from realizing the means of escape (baptism?). Truman sees inconsistencies and eventually rebels, seeking to find the REAL world beyond the one he has always known - the one that matters (eternal life with God?). And in the end, he escapes through the ocean amidst a storm (water and the spirit?) before leaving Christoff behind, empty handed. He steps into darkness (death?) to be reborn beyond (resurrection with Christ?) into a new life.
I'm sure there is some truth to what you propose for some movies and some directors and writers, but the fact that you ignore the obvious good in order to squeeze bad from the rock tells me that you have allowed yourself to be blinded by fundamentalist presupposition. I recommend you honestly re-evaluate some of these examples since we should celebrate good messages when they are proclaimed and support the people responsible. If we truly want to retake the culture, we can't let the good become the enemy of the perfect.
P.S. Lego Movie is pure evil, so no argument there... LOL :)
Yeah your Truman show explanation makes more sense. Could you please give your opinion on Dune part 2. Thanks.
Ralph literally saved the world from the anti christ, turbo is the most vile creature to exist in that world, he deceives the whole kingdom, you can clearly see how greedy they are, there’s nothing that implies the king is a god representation, more like a demon king
@@distractionbeast778 Lego movie pure evil?
THANK YOU, although your name distraction beast is not helpful in the context. BUT Thank you for already breaking down Wreck-it Ralph for Taylor and anyone else that reads your comment. Taylor, please read above and then re-watch Wreck-it Ralph. Also like to add that Penelope was only glitching because Turbo entered into Penelope's game and took it over, so yes King Candy was a bad guy. Oh, Wreck-it Ralph didn't mean to mess up their party or that cake.... oh and if Wreck-it Ralph is Satan why did he meet Satan? Oh and why is him giving away food to the homeless characters a bad thing - because it was red... I guess... Also what does Ralph and Wolf have to do with anything? Why didn't you search the characters names... like Felix or Penelope...
Also, just for fun sake lets just forget Turbo was around and keep it to your retelling of the story. King Candy was not the Good Guy or Father of Fix Felix... so you took quite a stretch in trying to say King Candy was the God in this game being portrayed as a bad guy.
I get it, you want to make content and this seemed like a cut and dry case but did you even watch Wreck-it Ralph for this... Wreck-it Ralph is one Disney made that I felt was pro Christianity. We are all born with Sin, we seek to be good... we want to be good... That is all Ralph was trying to do.
Why is the Lego Movie bad? From what I've seen, Lord Business is representing more of an oppresive system and leader, not divine authority. And the message isn't 'rules are bad' but 'rules should serve people, not stifle them'. This idea aligns with how the Bible's rules function-they guide people away from sin, not to restrict joy, but to protect and nurture their relationship with God and others. In contrast, Lord Business's rules are rooted in control and selfishness, enforcing conformity for his own benefit, rather than helping others flourish
WHAT NONSENSE! These films could all be interpreted completely differently. The fundamental flaw in your interpretation is that you've failed to see the moral errors in the 'God' figures you've pointed out in all of these films. Nowhere do any of them claim that the ruler of their world is perfect, they are all man-made kingdoms that have flaws, and each of the rulers demonstrate their imperfection.
Wreck it Ralph - People see Ralph as evil, he's not recognised as a peer, and Felix himself (your Christ character) rejects Ralph as he fears the social repercussions of hanging out such with an outcast. Ralph thinks 'there must be more to life than being a villain' and tries to change how people see him by his own efforts, and he seeks out do do something good People have stereotyped him because of his role in their game world (it's like treating an actor poorly because they played a villain, when the cameras aren't rolling the people who play the evil parts aren't actually evil). What's more, God uses broken people like us to do great things, in this case he used Ralph and a glitchy child to return a world to the way it was designed to be.
Your parallels to a 'Sophia' character are truly confusing, especially when it comes to the Truman show which I would interpret the polar opposite way. Truman is trapped in a world without truth or meaning, he goes about his life noticing inconsistencies in the world that's been presented to him. He pulls the thread to see that the whole world he's living in is a lie. He has been deceived by everyone he ever knew or trusted but is helped by your 'Sophia', who actually acts more like Jesus by diving into his life of confusion and opens his eyes to the lies that are all around him, she gives him that desire to keep looking and searching for the TRUTH. She saw the cruelty of Truman's captivity and like Jesus, she came to reveal the truth to Truman. Truman was even Baptised in water on his way into new life, leaving the lie he'd lived in well behind, and there was no turning back.
And the LEGO MOVIE!? You've got to be kidding me! It's about a Child fighting his own impression of his Father who has corrupted the purpose of creation (LEGO). The father in the story has disallowed his children from playing with his Lego, if he's to be equated with God, that's a pretty flawed and selfish God! Jesus calls Satan 'the ruler of this world' in John 16:11. So you have an evil overlord of the world, who rules by fear of the Kragle who's order is uprooted by Emmet, a sinless Master Builder who is forseen in prophecy who together through the power of friendship beat Lord Business, and free the land of tyranny of this evil overlord.
You could just as easily put all of the 'bad guys' in these movies as the Pharisees who Jesus (or should I say your biblical Sophia character) came to disrupt. The Good news of Jesus changes the way we perceive the world. He calls us to look after the outsiders (Wreck it Ralph), to forgo legalism (Lego Movie) and and to pronounce and to seek truth (Truman). And at the end of the Lego movie, we also see how to treat our brothers and sisters in Christ when we disagree or fall out.
Aladdin fo sho is a rogue, but tying any of these stories to the biblical story is unwise at best as the parallels are fleeting and don't hold up when you look at the story as a whole.
Also, you seem to be hung up on your idea of perfection being this very legalistic Pharisaical, controlled and micromanaged order that doesn't actually care for the sick or outcast, but discards them. Uglyville is a perfect representation of your misunderstanding, and the Uglies are the exact people who Jesus came for, 'it's not the well who need a doctor, but the sick' Mark 2:17. Though the Uglies aren't visually perfect their harmless world of good natured fun where it doesn't matter what you look like is a far better environment to live in than a world where everyone is clambering over one another to look the most perfect. Uglyville by what I've seen from this video is actually not about a making a heaven place look gross, or a hell place look appetising, but focusing on loving one another dispite our differences and embracing. And I imagine the kind of messy grace is much more heavenly than the perfection institute. The key in that film is that people's sights are set on the wrong things, the real treasure in these movies is often friendship, teamwork, overthrowing greedy tyrants etc.
Would love to hear your thoughts.
EXACLY these are kids shows and are about how socitity and man is curupt in many different ways not how God is bad.
Satan doesn’t care what you believe, as long as it isn’t true.
📍 A WORD!!!
If that's the care. That means Satan knows all the truth, or that statement wouldn't make sense.
@@iokwong1871 He knows that the truth is God, all he has to do is promote things that run contrary.

What deception was found in the 🐍 mouth of the Devil when he questioned Eve, show your work? Man is created in God's image why did things go so wrong right from the beginning for Yahweh and his creation that he became angry seeking to destroy it all and after the flood it continued to go awry to the point Yahweh became a genocidal, homicidal, infanticidal angry and jealous God of Armies ordering complete annihilation, ethnic cleansing, and land theft of the surrounding tribes the Hebrews encountered while wandering the desert after Exodus from Egypt, are you serious when you equate his behaviors with love, specially the animals and human blood libel ritual sacrifices and burnt offerings, sounds evil to me. One last question, in the Bi-Bull stories narrative how many people is Satan responsible for directly killing by way of his own hand or by ordering them murdered, could you tell me? I must've missed out or skipped those tellings, huh?

I feel like the Truman Show is misrepresented here. Christoff wasn't God, he was clearly a man trying to play God. And his attempt to create a paradise paled in comparison to the beauty and complexity of the world God created. What's more, is that Christoff thinks he's motivated by love, but he's not. If he loved Truman he would let him have his agency, which is what God gave us. The reality is, Christoff was motivated by money and views. The movie is actually a biting commentary of human greed and idolatry, showing us the dystopian horror of what television and entertainment could become. It was eerily prophetic as reality TV burst into popularity in the 00s and has ruined thousands of peoples' lives and wasted millions of peoples' time.
A story about man’s hubris.
Same, I also agree parts of Wreck it Ralph could be taken as gnostic but the evil king didn't even belong in Vanillipes game. So you could say he also represented the Devil because he wanted to steal Vanilipes' role and caused her glitch to begin with. I don't see a representative for God at all in that movie.
Parables don’t have to map one to one on to the topic they address. Also, under the specific strain of gnosticism she is discussing without naming (Manichaeism), the Demiurge (Yahweh) is a subsidiary, weak manifestation of the real God, so “The Truman Show” can be read as a Gnostic parable.
With all due respect, I think you’re reiterating the message that the video was trying to convey. Of course Christof wasn’t an accurate representation of God. The theoretically gnostic creators of “The Truman Show” movie wanted the viewers to believe that Christof’s character was similar to God, but that he also came along with all the selfish, creepy, abusive, and secretive baggage that you just pointed out. Giving Christof these attributes would paint God as the same.
The “beauty and complexity of the world God created” within the movie is the theoretical movie makers trying to get you to believe that beyond the borders of God’s laws is something greater and freer. Within the movie itself , Christof IS the bad guy. These theoretical movie makers just want you to think that Christof is also comparable to God, which he really isn’t.
@@marcusplace799 ah I see. Thank you for the explanation it makes a lot of sense.
Woaww.. I searched about this topic since more than 10 years and never pointed out that so clearly. Darkness are really being exposed, thanks for your video !!
Do these movies push Gnosticism?
Answer: no. No they do not. This vid is such a stretch. Just because a movie is similar to something doesn't mean anything.
A perfect world that is a lie with an evil creator is a common TV trope.
Now is it possible it was based off Gnosticism?
Maybe but most likely not since Gnosticism isn't a very popular religion. And some of these movies aren't that famous, like ugly dolls. If Satan was behind this, wouldn't Satan know which movies would be a hit if he made them with this premise and which wouldn't? And, how is it trying to convince people if all people expect is a funny and silly movie and they won't pay attention that much since it isn't trying to directly shove Gnosticism in your face and it's barely there.
What darkness? Old Testament god is cartoonishly evil - lucky there’s no evidence he actually exists
Thank you for taking the time to make us aware of this. It’s so good to expose the devil’s agenda, which saturates a lot of media. I pray this will turn off people’s taste for such things, and they’ll gain a hunger for the truth, seeking it out like precious treasure, and will be rewarded by the Creator.
Just because not all story writers write stories based on traditional Christian (or any Christian theology at all), that doesn't imply that they are Christian gnostics.
I would prefer if we have private dis-cussion
It can’t be any clearer. The truth is you can’t see that for all the shiny colors so to speak. Satan loves to hide in plain sight.
Too much similarities to be coincidental
Satan is influencing more than you think or care to open your eyes to.
Agreed.
Might get some negative feedback but I am probably the only one here not seeing an inherent anti-Christian push of gnosticism on these specific examples. I see the association of an "evil" creator that made a "prefect" world, but the fact that in most cases the "creator" is just another human limits that association for me. There are other films and shows that push real gnosticism by showing an divine race of angels/gods that turn out to be heavily flawed/petty/evil, this is actually something that caused me to severely limit my anime intake- a lot of anime features some sort of divine species in charge that eventually reveal themselves as inferior/flawed/evil and the protagonist ends up overthrowing them. If anything the films featured here just reinforce the folly of humanity, not God, as humans create a tainted version of paradise whereas God created the real thing.
So yeah, apologies if this upsets some people or makes them believe I've been ensnared by the enemy, but probably the first video where my stance doesn't align with Taylor's.
Your not alone my friend
There’s a lot of stretching to find connections that probably aren’t there at all.
One of the larger purposes of the massive influx of polytheistic-character derived shows in the recent decade (it's in everything and everywhere now) is to give the impression that TMH is just a fragment of man's imagination that is a cis-white male thing or something. The spiritual war front is from all sides. My upbringing was in anthropology and spending a lot of time in nature. Before TMH made it very clear to me, I was stuck on that thread. Praise TMH by which all blessings and everlasting life begin and end.
I always saw The Truman Show as an example of humans trying to play God and how our unhealthy appetite for entertainment could lead us all to be accomplices in dehumanizing someone but maybe there was another message that was just lost on me since I know that God is good. 😊
I 100% agree with you. Almost every movie she mentioned was a HUGE stretch. And what bothered me most is that she didn’t even cover a lot of the plots, she just used broad strokes and stretched the narratives to fit her point of view.
I swear, it’s “Christians” like these that give the rest of us a bad rep. Do I believe that the devil uses Media to push us away from God? Absolutely. Do I think that all these movies are pushing one singular agenda? Absolutely not.
That’s why my parents always made it clear to me and my siblings as we were growing up that the behavior of many of the protagonists of the movies we enjoyed was rebellious and wrong.
Edit: people seem to be misunderstanding my comment. When I say my parents reminded us that the behavior of protagonists was not to be imitated, that is not to say we didn’t watch and enjoy the movie. We enjoyed those movies immensely.

This was interesting. I think that films and TV shows can definitely have subliminal messages and they may sometimes not even be intentional. I think sometimes films and TV shows can act as mass peer pressure. I think one reason why a lot of people feel discontent being single is because of characters on popular TV shows and in films that are single are portrayed as these sad characters that are to be pitied and "fixed" by their friends in relationships. I don't think the creators intend to do this most times in the example I just gave, but I think when you consume a lot of media that sends that subliminal message that singleness is bad, it can cause you to view yourself in a bad light if you're single.
Yes! I agree!

I love your channel, but I get a different vibe from Wreck-It-Ralph. I see it as a movie about a guy who has been bad... but ultimately redeemed himself and learned to befriend Felix. Unlike Ralph, Satan doesn't seek redemption. Also, I think it's a bit much to say "Snake and these other demon-looking characters" at 5:12 when it's just Q*Bert, Coily, Ugg, WrongWay, and Slick... characters that have been in gaming since the early 80's.
I do, however, agree that Satan will try to steer people who create content into making media that favors him. We need to be diligent and make sure his attempts don't sway us.
Feel like I have to relearn and double-check everything...

Yes it is. The problem comes from how people are. Most people can't empathize without not rooting for them. If you sympathize with villains too much at one point it becomes a norm and since people do like to pick sides well shit happens. Want a current example of the same approach used in media for a current belief? Do you believe gay people are born gay? Yes or no? Look at the media from early 2000s. They were slowly pushing that idea and it worked. Now most people believe people are born gay even though its not the case.
If the devil is the villian in our life as christians then it's the same i guess

WOW 😮. Very cool video, well done! Never saw it like this. 👍
So any leader trying to control his subjects is a reference to god? Have you thought it could be a reference to dictators and absolute unfair rulers that seek to keep everyone controlled and oblivious? The Sophia character is used probably because she works as a love interest, guide, and motivator in many instances. The underlying theme with so many of these “perfect worlds” is that they are not actually perfect unlike how Eden was, so this comparison is not entirely true. A lot of these rebellious themes are probably put in to appeal to children and their proclivity to want to do their own thing. The whole conformity to a perfect world could also work as a reference to communisms nature on how it makes everyone conform to one ideology that promotes perfect coexistence, submission
, ignorance, and has an absolute unquestionable dictator but is really flawed.
In short, it’s not always demons.
People gonna find ways to complain about anything nowadays doesn’t shock me
The rebellious themes are seeds of rebellion put into the minds of children.
It's poison to their minds and brain washing.
Will you deny the Truman show as a reference to God and other simularities?
Will you deny the show dome of being the dome of the Earth?
Will you deny the darkness at the end of the movie being the darkness outside of the dome?
Will you deny Christof, the creator of the show, being God the creator of Earth?
Will you deny Truman being Us?
Will you deny the watchers of the show, in movie, of being Angels?
There is a movie called Wish, it was perfect till Asha decided to overthrow King Magnifico.
Asha is a Sophia, whilst King Magnifico is God.
King Magnifico created a kingdom for people to live freely in.
God created a Earth for people to live freely in.
Asha causes a rebellion against King Magnifico.
Satan causes a rebellion against God.
Depends, did you see in the later examples of the princess movies that the daughters actively defied their fathers, which possibly led to many girls starting to defy their fathers as well due to this learned behaviour?
Well, a perfect world is a highly controlled one. The way I see it, you can support Liberty or you can support Utopia, but both cannot exist simultaneously.
Sophia is the deity of wisdom in agnosticism, also dictators have a "God" complex (in psychology) and that is without even mentioning possible possession of the individual...
It's demons my brother very much so demons....don't get fooled.
3:16 Felix doesn’t just have a “resurrection power”, the characters cannot die in their own games, that is why this happened to Felix in that scene. So I don't think that the comment about him being “like Jesus” is relevant.

Same. Glad I'm not the only one who thought about this.
Though, not saying I agree with the whole "exposing" thing, but in her defense, she probably ignored that bit of information in order to make the video work.
I've seen it with a lot of Film Theory stuff. They point out and mention and briefly explain things (mostly in shorts) that seem to fit the theory, while seeming to conveniently ignore what makes it not work.

I thought I knew this but had no idea how completely obvious. Such clear way to show the serpent's subtlety. I'm sharing this with kids and family. Well done👏
Your description of Gnosticism is incorrect. Gnosticism has many branches, similar to the way that Protestantism does, but the general idea is that the Supreme God is unknowable and incomprehensible, as well as perfect. Our material world, according to Gnosticism, could not have come directly from this perfect being, but was created by a subordinate "demiurge," who had a nightmare that created the material world. Gnosticism views all material substance, particularly that which is associated with procreation, as sinful. Procreation is the method in which the divine spark in humanity is imprisoned in this sinful material world. Many Gnostic groups were opposed to procreation or sexual intercourse because of the connection with the material world.
An important distinction among many others indeed. For example, the canonical gospels were written before 100 CE while all the other heretical ones came at around 200 CE. Which is why things like the Gospel of Judas aren't taken as canonical. Nor is the Gospel of Mary. And etc.
As you stated, Gnosticism focuses on the impurity of the material realm and the need for man to ascend beyond it's impurity. It explains that impurity by the fact that only an imperfect god could have made such a world. A Demiurge. Christianity focuses on the need to purify the material realm. Because in case most people forgot, the kingdom of heaven is meant to descend on earth. And Jesus is meant to be a gateway to ridding yourself of sin. Another important difference is that, while Gnostics explain the impurity of the world through the creator being impure, Christians of the non-heretical branches explain it with Sin being the cause of the world itself and its free will, not its creator. While a Gnostic might propose that sin exists in the first place because of the Demiurge, the Christian will state that it exits because of free will and pride and nothing else.
(And if the Demiurge was created and sin, it would imply that the True god which made the Demiurge, by Gnostic logic, is also impure because what he made was impure. And it goes on and on. If you state the Demiurge was not created and there are two Gods, then there are no God, only gods. And it becomes Heresy because you no longer believe in one God that is omnipotent and perfect.)
Effectively, there are two explanations and none that can be proven through normal means. But if you wish to call yourself a Christian, you cannot be a Gnostic. And if you are a Gnostic, you cannot call Jesus your lord and savior without insulting what he stood for and what you believe in.
What really makes Gnosticism different from Christianity is the fact that one believes in Jesus and trusts him when he says he is God in the from of man. The other may choose to trust in Jesus, but it will be forced to deny his claims of being the God of the old Testament.
@@51gn4l50ul Gnosticism defines sin as a physical substance. The Bible defines sin as an action, the transgression of God's Law. In Gnosticism, you are a sinner because you consist of material substance. In Christianity, you are a sinner because you have violated God's Law. Gnosticism cannot conceive of a perfect Redeemer, Jesus Christ, having a physical body. Different branches of Gnosticism have different ways of resolving this problem. In some, Jesus was the physical man, Christ was his non-physical spirit. In others, the physical body of Jesus was just an illusion.
@@Pooua Thanks, that is a specification I knew not!
It is a very interesting difference between the two...
In the end, whatever ways they have to resolve Jesus though, it doesn't change the fact that it is rather strange to believe Jesus is here to save your soul, yet still call him a liar. Then again, if Sin is not an action, then lying wouldn't really be a sin when done by a spirit.
@@51gn4l50ul I don't think the Gnostics called Jesus a liar. However, they also believed that they saved themselves. They would acknowledge Jesus as a teacher or a prophet, but salvation for a Gnostic comes by knowing the secret of their origin (that's the gnosis part of Gnostic) and achieving escape of one's divine spark from this material world.
@@Pooua Sorry, my reply is gonna be very long. I hope that doesn't bother...
I understand what you mean. But you can't call a man your teacher yet ignore the pillars of his teachings, which are all very clear on the fact that men cannot save themselves, that Jesus is the god of the old Testament and that salvation is meant to redeem the material world, not allow one to leave it behind.
They aren't calling Jesus a liar. But they are basically saying that Jesus is a liar because they are right and he is wrong. It's simply cause and effect.
The Gnostics may think that the views they have align with the ones of Jesus, which would explain why the common Gnostic might call himself a christian or might believe that Jesus had existed. But they do not. Jesus said "I am the way.", He explained that he is the only path for men to the Father. And as you pointed out, Gnostics say "I can save myself."
Other Gnostics may simply have been Christians who were convinced of Gnosticism because it gave an answer to a question they did not realize Christianity already had. My point is, you can't be a Gnostic and not also say that Jesus was lying. Because if you say Jesus was right, then that invalidates the whole religion.
I want to specify that I wasn't trying to attack either groups. I just wanted to explain why Gnosticism and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Even if the people that practice the latter may call themselves Christians and have a lot of respect for Christianity.
@3:30 every videogame character can regenerate inside their own game.
RALPH is not the bad guy.... he is integral to the game of fix it Felix! his absence caused the game to be shut down. Regardless of how many time Felix tossed his hammer in the air.
He wants the medal because the nicelanders didnt let him have the cake! or recognize his contribution. he wasnt allowed to join the party.... NOT be better than felix - he just wanted friends - and he viewed it as the only way to get friends.
Her glitch isnt a "sin" because it was never meant to be part of her character! the only way she can fix the glitch is by winning the race!!!! how can she win a race? by using a token (ralphs medal)
how did you come to your conclusions?
ralph sacrificed himself to save the entirety of sugarland, felix stood at the gate
1. Meanwhile the only character that respawned was Felix, so..
2. Ralph is literally the bad guy, the movie has stated it; even with juts movie story he IS a bad guy.
Especially with what he does later.
3. He wanted the medal as he was jealous of Felix and so he wanted to become BETTER than Felix.
4. I can explain it, but it'll be long.
Turbo starts off as the favorite game character of the arcade.
Then a new arcade game came in and Turbo was JEALOUS and so he went and ruined it.
Both he and the arcade were punished, however Turbo shapeshifted into King Candy to escape punishment.
Turbo changes the code of the Vanellope and took her place as ruler of Sugar Rush Kingdom.
Parable change time.
Lucifer starts off as the favorite angel of God.
Then Adam gets created and Lucifer was jealous at how Adam became the favorite, and so he ruined Adam and both he and Adam were punished.
Lucifer escaped punishment by shape shifting into an animal and escaped.
Lucifer then changes the Dna of Mankind and soon becomes the shadow ruler of the Earth.
Do you understand?
5. Sugar Rush Kingdom being destroyed is the Earth being destroyed, whilst the people leaving are Christians leaving with Felix(Jesus). Vanellope represents sinners and sinners aren't the ones following Jesus to safety.
So Felix staying at the gate with everyone else, is really Jesus leaving with everyone else to safety; which in the movie going through the gate is the safety.
Also Satan wants to rule people on the Earth, so Ralph saving Sugar Rush Kingdom to save Vanellope is like Satan wanting to stop judgement day to save the sinners.
She came to her "conclusions" by being persuaded by religious conspiracy theories that fit comfortably with her religious beliefs
@@Devil--Pro 1) Ralph respawned too. Not only after every level of the game but even after SACRIFICING HIMSELF to save another game world.
2) Ralph is the "bad guy" in the role he is designed for in his game world. The movie also shows Ralph wanting to be good and then PROVING himself to BE good even if his initial motivations were partly selfish.
3) Yes he was jealous of Felix because Felix constantly gets all the reward, praise and friendship just by doing what he was designed to do, yet Ralph gets nothing but disdain and loneliness doing what he was designed to do. Doesn't seem fair does it?
4) Turbo was the ACTUAL villain of the story as his jealousy drove him to actual harm and malice. Ralph just made a bumbling mistake which eventually resulted in far more good for everyone involved.
5) Those religious connections you (and the person in this video) are making are entirely subjective interpretation that has nowhere been stated by the creators of the movie. Its imposing thematic parallels onto a story that doesn't have them to begin with. This can be done with literally ANYTHING.
Do you understand?
Ralph is playing a bad guy, I do think that films definitely do gnosticism but I do feel films portray leaders as bad guys but they are actually villains, so I would say they do it vicariously but not directly and stories definitely have coincidence in them. We have been telling them for thousands of years.
@@Devil--Pro There was a soldier in Hero's Duty that regenerated after gametime was over.
Ms Alesia, I’m a Christian, and I don’t mean to insult you over your ideas based off these movies, but I believe you should consider more the lore of some of them.
The LEGO Movie: President Business wanted to freeze the entire universe.
Wreck it Ralph: King Candy can’t be compared to God, because he was the most Satanic one of the movie. He is actually named Turbo from another game, getting it unplugged for invading other games in the arcade he was jealous of. He also wiped all the memories of the people in Sugar Rush to think Penelope was “Satan”, when she was infant the original ruler of that games land. As for Ralph, he stayed as a villain FOR HIS GAME, but when the arcade closed he was good to everyone else because he wanted to. Not to turn them to evil but to show that he had the ability to show kindness and wasn’t truly a villain. Though I do agree with you that including Satan was too far.
Free Guy: The creator of Guy’s game, Free City was gonna shut down all servers, killing him and all the other npcs. The “God” of that world also encouraged the lawlessness because his game was a GTA clone. The npcs, or should we say people, inside the game weren’t even made by Free City’s creator, but rather their code was copied by someone else. Sophia in the move was trying to save HER creation from being killed, for she created his code.
The Truman Show: They’ve literally held a man hostage since birth, and the creator of the show was calling himself God.
Another thing, perhaps the inspiration for some plots wasn’t from the idea that God could be bad, but maybe they’re based off other evil rulers in history or maybe even present day. The way I personally see it, the plot of the LEGO Movie could’ve been inspired by North Korea and that country’s lack of freedoms because of the Kim dynasty.
Again, not trying to say you’re wrong, and I certainly hope you don’t view me of someone who would feel sympathy for Satan; I just want you to consider the idea these films didn’t have any anti-god message as their moral.
I do enjoy watching your other videos and wish you a blessed day 👋✝️
I completely agree with you. This was a tough video to sit through. The lore is important.
@@garylangford1 thats what im saying, the logic has some gaps, and the only way to see all of those things about gnosticism is to go trough the movies with a gnostic mindset or hunting gnosticism and applying a good chunk of confirmation bias
But still, everyone has an opinion, this is just mine
@@luisfernandoayalahernandez6258
I’m trying to understand how mainstream Christianity is not full of Gnosticism itself? Don’t Christians believe everyone is going to hell by default or do they believe we all go to heaven no matter what because Jesus is Lord & He alone saved the world from sin?
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz The path to heaven is narrow, so Christians wouldn't think that everyone goes to heaven by default.
But really there is no default.
Jesus saved the world from sin?
Pretty sure he offered to save sinners from a terrible future.
God is not evil as he is the creator.
He amde thigns his way, and his way is good.
Whilst Lucifer rebelled because he didn't want to do what God wanted him to do.
Also people dare call God evil, yet they end up doing their own evil making them hypocrites in their view.
People dare call God evil to justify their own evil.
1. It wouldn't be a great disguised brain washing story it focusses on it's shadow secret.
3. Turbo is Lucifer in the story, the code changing was Dna being changed by Lucifer.
So Vanellope's Dna is changed, and so therefore she is a glitch.
Ralph didn't stay a villain for only his game, he had his villain moment when he betrayed Vanellope.
I can see Ralph being a sinner falling for desire and such.
Although I can see some parts of Ralph being another thing for Lucifer.
Seems complicated.
4. The servers shutting down can be like the Earth beign destroyed.
The island beyond the border could be like Heaven, a paradise to our eyes.
The sunglasses users are like the sinners.
5. The show was under a dome, Christof was the creator of the show.
The show created by Christof can be like the Earth created by God.
Truman brought into the show's existence can be like God bringing Adam into existence.
Also weird how your shortest paragraph is on the one thing that fits more with references to God and other stuff.
What we need was laid out direct and simple by John the Baptizer:

Ngl, 8 minutes in and I can’t watch this. I do NOT like seeing a demonic figure in any movie BUT a lot of the things in this movie are a stretch, and I mean a huge stretch. That’s my opinion, I don’t agree with a lot of the things said. God loves you all.
Yeah, like, there are in certain movies some anti-christian themes, but at the same time, it does seem she fell into the old adage "if you only have a hammer, everything will look like nails"
No stretch here. This young lady has done a great job revealing Satans favorite tactic. Lies. ( deception ) The truth hurts more when one has been deceived for so long. I suggest you pray to God for discernment and then you will see she’s pointing the right direction.
woke is the corporate/government religion youve all grown up with
@jhask64 except there's plenty of deception and misrepresentation in this video itself. Gnostics, correct me if I'm wrong, worship Sophia as being a sister of Christ, God in feminine form, which is heretical but certainly not the same as worshiping Satan as this video claims. Sophia represents wisdom in Gnosticism; see "philosophy" - which etymologically is derived from "love of wisdom.
The entire 2nd part of this video hinges on this misrepresentation without elaborating on what Sophia actually means to Gnostics.
Agreed. The part about comparing Ralph giving HIS HOMELESS FRIENDS food being compared to Adam and Eve being deceived by satan and eating fruit was the most ridiculous thing I'll hear all week
I do love your journey Taylor but if you think that we are The Bride + Jesus is the Prince = We are PRINCESSES and now every Disney movie is anti-christian propaganda (as you say in 15:19) then you're being mislead. Conservative western Christianity loves to create conspiracy theories about topics like this but I find that the more you go down this rabbit hole the more distracted you are from what really matters, which is Jesus. If you focus on Him rather than trying to find subliminal references about Good vs Evil (which is in literally every story ever made) I am sure you God will give you the discernment on what you should and shouldn't watch.
Thank you, life is nuance and we should remember everything belongs to the LORD and not to evil. Alot of it relies on intent, meaning, and responsible use. There are many things we can take too far and argue its meaning of, but we should beware not to become legalists.
Hi! I don't believe every Disney movie with princesses is evil. I was just highlighting on a common theme that can be found in many Disney princess movies. This video is merely a theory and one I find truly fascinating. With that being said, we are not called to ignore evil but to EXPOSE it! Ephesians 5:11 ! God bless you brother ✝

@@thebiblechickto his point, it is probably more edifying to balance both what is false and what is true in movies, rather than just focusing on the worldly themes or false religions that shine through.
People who go to movies are looking for something to move them, and there are elements of truth in nearly every popular story-- albeit clouded/polluted/fractured.
If you can use movies as a launch pad for pointing to the one True Story (which far outshines all others), then you have directed them toward the light, rather than simply exposing darkness. Both discernment and grace are necessary.

I would prefer if we have private dis-cussion google chat me.
I was following with Wreck it Ralph until I remembered that it shows King Candy taking over the game and turning Penelope into the glitch while erasing everyones memories. So I would like to argue that King Candy represents the sin that can be let into our lives turning us away from the way God intended us to live.
I disagree. Certainly you are correct that King Candy isn't the creator of the game, but he did re-create the game to put himself as the ultimate power. Thus for the purposes of the story and how the concepts develop in our mind, he represents the position of god. In the end, Vanellope comes out triumphant because she embraces her inner flaws and Ralph starts the process by breaking parts of the world. Ralph wants to be good --- but he doesn't want to stop breaking things. Vanellope believes she IS good, if only the powers that be would stop oppressing her. These are both gnostic ideals. The problem in the story is that both Ralph and Vanellope are being held back by their respective worlds and only by embracing their true self will they triumph.
@@kittenisageek could you not argue that the things holding them back are sins. Even in the story of Wreck-It Ralph, it’s not the world that is holding them back. It is the people in their world in the way that they are viewed because of a thing that they cannot change until they embrace their flaws, embrace the parts of them that actually make them different. I would even call them flaws And more things that they just are as humans personality things the role in life that they are putting in so no I grew up with that movie and I never once took theological or worldview things from Penelope and King candies relationship to one another. Funny thing I saw somebody take over a created world similarly to how sin runs rampant in our world, and somebody who is affected by sin like every single other person in our world or in Penelope’s case somebody who is affected by King’s wrath, go against that and reclaim the world back for good.
I understand the concern, but honestly, that's not the vibe I got from these movies- especially the Disney princess ones; those seem more focused on themes like love, sacrifice, good vs evil, etc. Even for the other more obvious ones, that's not the themes you'd pick up on, especially as a kid. For instance, The Lego Movie for me was about creativity and determination. Wreck-it-Ralph was about redemption and self-acceptance. So yes, it's something to look out for, but it's not something to be avoided like the plague, because it has a whiff of a Biblical parallel painted in a creative light.
I agree with this
Agreed
In my opinion, Wreck it Ralph can represent Christianity. He is bad, yes. But Felix still forgives him. Still tries to help him learn how to be better. Felix doesn't shun him, but help him grow; and Ralph wants to be better. He tries to be better. He talks about being better, and not knowing how. But when he is with Felix (which you pointed out was a lot like Jesus) he slowly became better in his ways. By being with the Jesus like character he becomes GOOD. So I think, he could show Christianity.

However, even in the end, you only get the happy ending because Ralph destroys the stuff around him and Vanellope embraces her inner self. Those are very gnostic positions. The idea that "I don't have to change myself, because everything about me is good. I have to change how other people perceive me."
I don't understand what you are trying to say with this...
I like what you said about how everyone pulls for Ralph, despite the fact that he's "bad". Same happens for the Christian god. He is guilty of nearly every extreme version of hate, and yet we are to love him? Cuz he loves us? Like how you missed the details in these movies, most Christians overlook Gods flaws, which there are MANY. Most think he's only guilty of jealousy, as thats what god supposedly said himself. Atleast with Gnostism god isnt painted as something greater than he is. I'll take the honesty over deceit. BTW, if you ever play video games, I'd highly recommend Xenogears from PS1.
Early Christianity, and Gnosticism borrowed a lot from Greek teaching. Zeus was pretty flawed, with numerous infidelities, and actively wanting to keep the gift of fire from the human race. Prometheus was the actual architect for the human race, and was fond of them. Prometheus stole fire from Mt. Olympus and gave it to the humans, and the gift of fire made many things possible that were simply impossible before. Possessing fire helped the human race rise above the other animals, and allowed metallurgy, etc. Zeus was majorly upset with Prometheus, so chained him to a rock where an eagle pecked out his liver every day (because Prometheus was a God, it grew back). After many years of suffering, Hercules eventually freed Prometheus.
Wow just wow.. I had no idea that this was a thing thank GOD for you Tyler and for your message
It’s surprising to me that most newer shows and films are afraid to include any bit a Christianity, when it’s a part of life for most people. A lot of older shows and movies would purposely include Christian practices
You shouldn't be surprised. The Bible said this would happen and get much worse eventually
@ you are right it does say that
and won't mock islam
Can you give some examples?
One of the larger purposes of the massive influx of polytheistic-character derived shows in the recent decade (it's in everything and everywhere now) is to give the impression that TMH is just a fragment of man's imagination that is a cis-white male thing or something. The spiritual war front is from all sides. My upbringing was in anthropology and spending a lot of time in nature. Before TMH made it very clear to me, I was stuck on that thread. Praise TMH by which all blessings and everlasting life begin and end.
This blew my mind kinda gave me the creeps! Lol but what an awesome video and definitely gonna share it ill forever remain vigilant of what i watch from now on thnk you! 🍻
I suppose this idea of Gnosticism is based on prespective.
Speaking as a christian myself, I don't see Ralph as a representation of the Devil, more a representation of us human, because later in the story, He gained a friend and the devil is cunning and plots to sabotage you by giving into sin. Ralph doesn't do this. He's mostly angry but ends up earning a friend, if anything the one that's more representative of the devil is King Candy, cunning, plotting, deceitful, VERY deceitful, lies, manipulates the truth, and ends up becoming infused with a virus monster anlien bug at the end and quote "I am the most powerful virus ever, I can take over any game I want". He was called turbo and after breaking his game and his own due to jealousy, another trait of the devil, he again abandoned his game after it is unplugged, joined another and took over that game full of innocence people, tricking them, became king, under the alias King Candy and put the idea in everyone's head within that game that Vennelope the original Ruler was not only a glitch, but a danger to everyone, and herself and the whole world. I wouldn't paint Ralph as the devil but more a man with flaws and having an Existenial Crisis which is a real phenomenon amongst humanity, and eventually redeems himself on saving the world and excepting who he is, a role as a villain in his game, something the devil cannot do.
But this is my prespective of the character and you have yours and it's a unique prespective.
I agree.
I definitely agree with this. Most of us grew up watching Wreck-It Ralph, and my parents are very much hard-core Christians. They've always been the type of Christians that are worship music and Christian movies only, but this movie was surprisingly one of our few exceptions., along with Emperors New Groove and Beauty and The Beast because they had Christian perspectives.
Yeah.
King candy's kingdom is built upon deceit and an illusion of perfection
"the one in charge of the perfect world is evil"
Don't Jesus and Paul both say that satan is the ruler of this world?
I read an excerpt from Christian Anarchist philosophy--the only reason satan was able to offer Jesus all the kingdoms of the world is because "they were handed to me."
I'm not sure how to interpret all of this information accurately. I see where you're coming from but this is pretty complex.
She does not know what gnosticism is. The God of this world (demiurge) is indeed a jealous, evil God. However, Jesus is a teacher/prophet of the actual realm of the real God that lives in the perfect world called Heaven. Sophia (knowledge) is not there to tell us that Heaven is a bad place.
Yes, God's kingdom has yet to come
(so who makes the rules and dictates our lives in this world/society is not God... And anyways Jesus came to bring us freedom, break our chains... So many times when following his light we do things in a completely different way to the expected/awarded in society... Not trying to impress this world, but really acting on our best conscience... Jesus himself was a societal disruptor!)
@@hette457 Yup, unfortunately a lot of Christians don't understand Gnosticism as perhaps being even closer to Jesus' teachings (and Paul's) than what most Christianity is portrayed as. Ultimately, Jesus' teachings were not worldly, they were spiritual. They weren't about having a nice family, being a strong community member, or having a pleasant physical life. They were about overcoming the physical world and the mortal body, which is damnation, and gaining salvation through one's spirit, thereby overcoming the flesh. That's basically Gnosticism.
To realize that we ARE spirit and not flesh is extremely challenging for most people to understand, not to mention it goes against worldly attachments we may have to things like families, communities, identities, businesses, organizations, churches, etc. So it's no wonder world-denying version of spirituality get shut down and dismissed.
@@hette457 she does know, it is just that gnosticism is pretty stupid, its whole metaphysics is based on the problem of evil which is like school grade philosophical exercise.
Hi, a Christian here. I think that is a little bit of a stretch. You are reading in to that wayyyy too much. You could read any story book, or watch any movie or TV show, and make it sound like that if you really want to, even if it's not there.
Going to finish this video later for a full response, but the moment she brought up ‘Little Light Studios’ I just knew it would either be full ignorant or full of lies.
If you don’t know them, I say pick at least one of their ‘reviews’ and see how many ‘mistakes’ you can find.
You need to understand that Hollywood is and was satanic from the beginning. The name holly wood was based off a tree in California. Even some of the early movies include witches and sorcery - Wizard of Oz (1939), Mary Poppins (1964), Fantasia (1940) to name a few. Its a sick and perverse industry where child actors are groomed. Not all stories have satanic themes though, but pretty much all the holly wood stories do. The Passion of the Christ was an independent film that Mel Gibson had to fund himself because hollywood studios refused to. Same with Sound of Freedom - Disney didnt want to fund it.. Lord of the Rings has Christian themes as it was written by Jrr Tolkein who was a Christian so there are some exceptions.
I knew I wasn't crazy thank you. I just knew she was reaching more than a rock climber the second she exaggerated about how the plot of Wreck It Ralph (my favorite Disney movie next to big hero 6) was supposed to be a light hearted interpretation of satan falling from heaven and wanting to get redemption on God from his own creations
You guys suck at being Christians. She isn't reaching. Satan runs the entertainment industries. Satan is literally in wreck it Ralph. How is she reaching? What she said makes sense. I see the same shit in my video games and animes too. Disney always be promoting satanic shit. If you think she is reaching then you people are the crazy ones. I met Christians that talked about the gospel but when I warned them what Satan is doing some of them were delusional as shit. Have you people even read about the book of Enoch that got purposely taken out of the Bible? You all need to do some research. I don't even call myself a Christian anymore because I know God and Lord are actually the names Satan and Baal uses not the creator and savior. You need to learn more and stop defending Satan's entertainment.
Hollywood is satanic. once you start seeing the pattern it's hard not to notice. Take Tron 2 for instance.
Gotta be honest, everything was fine and then a problem occured and then we solved it by thinking outside of the box is not necessarily a Gnostic or anti Christian narrative.
Further more you don't need Gnosticism to criticize A God who wants his children/creations to be ignorant and obedient...
That's like the WHOLE ENLİGHTENMENT.

You are so welcome! 🙏

@@INMinistries You typed "thank you" and your confused on why she is typing "your welcome"?
Thank you for this video. Bringing to the eyes of more people. They are also destroying the masculine, by constantly making men look stupid and ignorant. Keep up the good work.
no, wreck it Ralph encourages the christian idea of forgiveness and giving second chances to people like Ralph who are not loved by society.
surely we should love ralph and welcome him not cast him off as satan. ralph represents how even the worst of sinners are still human and can be forgiven
also it isn't sin, penelope has a glitch that is not her fault.
she isn't living in sin. she was born with it.
actually now i am thinking maybe she should try to heal the glitch, but i like the idea that what many see as an imperfection she uses as a Strength... hm. i don't know if the glitch has to be a bad thing
although if the glitch is a negative thing which i have changed my mind and think it probably is then maybe she should have stopped using it for her own purposes.
although she cannot help but glitch so we can't judge her too harshly
@yaafridge2522it’s not an issue of whether the glitch is bad or good, but what she does with it that matters.
The Bible encourages us to avoid bad company because it will corrupt us. We can share the gospel with those who reject Christ or don't know Him, and we should love them, but that doesn't mean they are forgiven just because they are loved. They have to want that forgiveness, to repent. That is a choice. Wreck It Ralph had a scene where they accept "bad" as "good", which we have a commandment never to do so.
Agreed
You are spot on. Gnosticism is everywhere and it's infuriating how people think we're insane for noticing it.
So you believe everyone is going to heaven no matter what because God is love & love keeps no record of sins?
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz God is love, however he won't let sinners go unpunish for the sins they do.
There is a punishment for bad actions.
Not going to heaven can be a punishment, such as going to the lake of fire.
It makes God sad to do it, but sinners leave him no choice; especially the wicked and of course those like Satan.
Hollywood studios are AntiGod so badly that the devil disguise himself in kids movies and music and culture in general.
Illuminati = Alumbrados = Gnosticism.
the same way every conspiracy theorist is infuriated by people thinking they're insane. Just ask a flat-earther or anti-vaxxer.
I rather see Ralph like the tax collector, remember there was a tax collector who went to the temple to pray to God, he felt guilty about his job just like how Ralph honestly felt bad about his job, you may think just because Ralph was sitting next to the Satan at the meeting, that he is the devil but I rather think of him as a sinner, and his confession during the meeting was him not wanting to lead that lifestyle anymore while everyone else discouraged him, I feel it's a redemption story, I mean it is literally, I wouldn't say Felix is Jesus but I say he's like a disciple, and that the townspeople are the body of Christ, often judging sinners. If anything the devil is represented in king candy, he put himself at the top(greedily replaced vanellope) like how the Pharisees rather put themselves above Jesus, Jesus doesn't need to directly be represented by a character but his valued can be, just like that of the devil with king candy, living out his selfishness. Felix too got upset at Ralph during the film but rather still believed in him, showing faith.
Mind = blown!
Thanks so much for making this video! I can't believe I have grown up so unaware of this repetitive theme... And as you were going through them, I could think of other ones as well😳
But again, amazing work, glory to the Lord❤️
She's close. It's actually Judaism. Read the Talmud.
@@Sock_Juice Gnosticism is not like Judaism.
The Gnostics believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of mankind.
Can you show me in the Talmud where it says that?
@ gnosticism is not the same as Judaism. Gnostics believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of mankind.
Where in the Tail mood does it say that?
Some of these kinda fit what you're saying, but you're stretching a lot, at least for Wreck-it Ralph and the Truman Show.
In the Truman Show, the guy in charge of the show is an actual character trying to play God. This makes him more akin to the devil than Jesus. Truman isn't leaving heaven or a paradise. The movie is clear from the beginning that his life is not paradasiacal, what he's leaving is an elaborate prison constructed by someone imitating God (i.e. Satan).
And for Wreck-it Ralph, Felix reads more like a cross between Bob the Builder and Mario than an intentional analogue for Jesus. Yes, he has a magic hammer that can fix anything, which he inherited from his father. The fact that he can come back to life when he dies has more to do with the fact that he's a video game character. Every character in the whole movie can do that, as long as they're in their own game.
Ralph, the first character we're introduced to, was kicked unceremoniously from his home so some corporation could build a tower there. When he gives the cherry to the other background characters, he's being charitable. It's not a symbol of knowledge, forbidden or otherwise, it's a symbol of charity. Giving a homeless person an apple doesn't make you a stand-in for Satan, no matter what that homeless person looks like.
And portraying Vanellope as a stand-in for Eve is wild for a number of reasons. First, she wasn't innocent prior to getting Ralph's medal, she's making fun of him and clearly doesn't believe that he's telling the truth. Second, she steals the medal from Ralph, he's not tempting her with it. And third, if you're going to say that her glitch represents sin, then you cannot also correlate King Candy with God.
If anyone represents the devil, it would be Turbo, the usurper king, who uses a cheat code to insert himself into the game, disguise himself as King Candy, turn Vanellope into a glitch by removing her from the code, and return Ralph's ill-gotten medal to him. He's the one who lies to Ralph that the destruction of the world of the game will destroy Vanellope, tempting him to become an actual bad guy by destroying Vanellope's only hope of no longer being a glitch. And he's the one who turns into a huge monster at the end, determined to rule the game and even the whole arcade. When he is destroyed, the world of the game is renewed, everyone remembers the truth, and Vanellope is restored to her proper place.
In my view, Ralph and Vanellope both represent common, fallen people. They each desire to be good, but are flawed and incapable of achieving goodness on their own. You interpret the "bad guy affirmation" as saying to embrace sin, but when Ralph repeats it at the end of the movie, he's not using it to say, "Guess I'll just be evil," he's in the middle of doing the most selfless thing he can. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
Trust me, these people get most of their knowledge from the devil. They can be as subtle as an innocent Disney movie, but behind the scenes, they’re turning you into a cog in this corrupt global system we’re "stuck in". Like I said, you know what the devil’s called? Father of lies, master deceiver. Sounds familiar? Don’t underestimate him or his minions, and seek Jesus, read a Bible❤
@@Treebohr I'm thinking this video is rage bait or an experiment
@@collprinI think if she got some points, there are also massive flaws in her logic
I always interpreted these movies as a message to not follow the control of the enemy and to stop being like the sinful world. To step out in faith following the Lord. I dunno that's how I've always seen it and was inspired in that way.
Thanks! Interesting video! I used to think, many years ago, that all those princess movies have the same plot, and they make “the ugly/the outsider” more attractive than the “boring prince”. This drives every little girl to wish an outlaw life, and avoid an ordinary one, exactly as you explain. Thanks a lot!
CONPLETELY AGREE
Something I’ve also noticed in a lot of kids movies is the worshipping of nature or other things. God bless
I think you're confusing worship and appreciation
That's animism. It's the idea that natural objects, like trees, have a spirit. I think spiritual ecology might be the most updated version for westerners. Ancient animism isn't exactly popular, only remote tribes still practice it, so the primitivist traditions don't generally appeal to many modern people. You definitely see animism in movies involving tribal people, Celtic culture, and some Asian traditions.
What's wrong with worshiping nature? We'd all be dead without it.
@@BarnabyRudge-sx3pb not just dead without it we would never have existed at all
@@BarnabyRudge-sx3pb worship the creator not the creation
Sometimes an obsession to know the truth can distort your views
Nicely said
Okay, but wouldn't you just come to the truth eventually? That God is good? Even if you have a blasphemous view of God, it won't last forever. The truth will always reveal itself.
I can't figure out if this comment is against her or not?
Yes this is how conspiracy thinking works and is on glaring display in this video.
@stiimuli the point is to mindful of what we are consuming. Even if something is technically "harmless" it can become a stumbling block got others. The enemy is tricky and sneaky sometimes. Sometimes he may use something that seems good, but is actually a distortion of truth to slowly mislead people. Nuances that may be obvious to us may not be to everyone. And when you take in the fact that most of these movies arent written by people who believe in God, who dont have God as the center of their views... isnt it obvious that we should be careful how much of or attention and time, our focus, should be dedicated to enjoying these. Especially when so much of entertainment can be addicting for many
Taylor, as a Christian going through OCIA right now, your vids are so helpful. God Bless you!
I am so happy to hear this :(!!!!! Let's go! God bless you!

Thank God, you've made me discover this new philosophy, aka Gnosticism, and I'm loving it! Thank you, Alessia!
"I don't agree with the argument in this video. While it's true that some films and cartoons use religious symbolism or themes, it seems like a stretch to say they’re ‘pushing’ a specific religion. Many of the examples she mentions could easily be interpreted in other ways, and often these themes are just common storytelling devices, not necessarily religious messages. It feels like some of these instances are being taken out of context or overanalyzed. Just because a movie includes a symbol or a theme that could relate to religion doesn’t mean it’s trying to push a religious agenda. Stories often explore universal human experiences that transcend any one belief system."
I would prefer if we have private dis-cussion.
I would rather say that "these" movies or even most movies push the religion of "there is no God". Fullstop. Some movies are more obvious mocking God, others are very subtle or they spread the believes of those who make the movies that X is okay under certain circumstances or not so bad etc.
Surely these movies don't point to the creator. This is just a spontaneous thought but I think that movies can make impressionable viewers believe in aliens. Fantasy worlds. The Matrix. Secret Societies. Or even in concepts like "violence against bad people is good". Or movies can also scare you, futuristic dystopian movies, social unrest, crises, etc.
I think certain movies can be very effective means for implanting their ideas in the viewer's heads. I am unsure if those movies mentioned in this video deliberately attack God or not. The script writers surely have a basic knowledge about the bible, most people know the basics and they consciously or subconsciously put these ideas into their movies because a movie about any random normal person (Truman, Free Guy, Harry Potter, Frodo) being woken up and being forced to leave his safe space makes for a compelling story that many viewers can relate to.
@@sweetshots4993 I agree I mean especially with the ugly dolls statement since no one is perfect
Gnosticism isn’t really a religion, it’s a philosophy
@ I wasn’t suggesting a public discussion. I was just pointing this out
Debatable. Religion comes from a French word that means "relationship", and in any case, given the God-shaped hole in our hearts, it makes sense that not knowing of Him, we'd want *someone* to worship. Grabbing us before discover Him? That is the devil's greatest objective, get us subtlety conditioned to want to be gods ourselves so that when He greets us, we're already programmed to say," shove off."
@ChristsGoodNews Anything we practice over time is fundamentally religious. Sports, work, etc. Action and focus combined with the philosophies underlying them becomes and is religious. Money is a religion the western civilizatioin
Wrong, it's the cult of Satan's ideology.
Thank you for making this video. I have a hard time finding movies I want to show my children even if I've grown up with said movie. There are just os many bad choices the good guy makes. I would've never showed my children the Lord of the Rings if I had remembered that wizards, magicians, sorcerers, and etc. was evil. I am reading the Bible and for the first time, despite reading it many times, I can actually see what's right in front of me. I'm not just meddling through. And I'm increasingly fearful for my children, myself, and my loved ones.
lord of the rings was written by a devout catholic.
@yaafridge2522 But the kind of Christianity that Ms Alesia espouses, I suspect, will argue that Catholicism is not Christianity but another kind of Satanism ...
So well done! I learned alot. I knew there were anti God messages in Disney movies but not to this level. Thank you!❤❤
My frustration with this post is that you remark on Gnosticism in movies without acknowledging the influence of Gnosticism in our own religion. The ideas of Heaven and Hell as they are generally understood in so many churches are soaking with with gnostic influence. I’m all about trying to live a life above reproach, and as Christians, we have to be even more critical of our own fundamental ideals and understanding of scripture, and our ability to take the text to context. Anyways, thanks for sharing as always. Keep loving Jesus, and doing his work. God bless.
That being said, been in Hosea lately, and it is haunting how easily we can lose our saltiness amidst the empire we live in. Important to remember that genuine worship of the one most high and loving our neighbors sacrificially are the foundation God calls us to. Nothing above those things.
@@bigbucks0692 I’m trying to understand how mainstream Christianity is not full of Gnosticism itself? Don’t Christians believe everyone is going to hell by default or do they believe we all go to heaven no matter what because Jesus is Lord & He alone saved the world from sin? It always sounded to me like Christianity has more bad news than good news & I think that is the result of Gnosticism.
@@bigbucks0692I mean this in all gentleness, but trusting in Jesus to pay for our sins is the true foundation as outlined in 1 Corinthians 3. Not our works, nothing. No one can set another foundation, and everything else must come after. I agree with loving our neighbors and living in truth, which is true worship according to Scripture, but the Bible in Hebrews says it is impossible to please God without faith. Jesus is the cornerstone/foundation laid by God, and everything else is because we love Him. God bless and have a wonderful day! 🙏
None of the examples had anyone claiming to be god the father or son. I dont see any agnosticism only humans or fictional characters having flaws.

Sometimes an apple is just an apple. A thief is just a thief, not the incarnation of the devil in a movie or music. Jesus said "the truth will set you free", and when you find the truth, you find knowledge, they both go together and there's nothing evil about knowledge. The world is not 6000 years old as some people calculate from The Bible, a book full of symbols and stories designed to help people understand and face a world full of dangers, unknown and big, and its teachings are an instruction manual to behave in society, instructions needed because we were as kids and we're learning about a whole deal of complex stuff such as morals, ethics, good and evil and God and our relationship with Him.
But make a comparison between the Old Testament and the new and how Jesus Christ changes a lot of things.
Was that bad? No. But the religious authorities of his time saw his actions as bad, an attack to their power and they gave him away to the Romans so they would do the dirty job of killing Jesus of Nazareth for them. Nice, huh? They satanized Jesus, now you do it with a lot of movies, just as Islamics do with everyone and everything western or anything that gives women power and freedom. Don't commit a sin for being too righteous, you're not a judge and a jury.
Finally somebody who talks about The Bible like as it should not be taken literally but more philosophically
Thank you. I'm a pastor's kid and try to educate people on these things. I'm so grateful my dad values the work of biblical scholars and theologians, rather than taking anything literally. So much in the Bible is symbolism and metaphor, and the writers were flawed humans and products of their time who wanted to control their societies, particularly women or anyone who didn't fit into their patriarchal mold. Even inspiration from God can get lost in translation. This whole modern "good vs. evil"/"Satanic influence" thing is something I've noticed is primarily a product of the West. This video doesn't even fully grasp what Gnosticism is. It's just straight paranoia involving overanalysis of symbolism and tropes. Most religions center around some type of wisdom, even early Judaism and Christianity had some esoteric elements. In this case however, we're talking about a society that would seem perfect on the outside, at least to everyone indoctrinated by it, and the themes show how people who don't fit into that patriarchal mold get abandoned and left behind, or when they resist, branded as "evil by nature". It's the broken system itself that causes people to steal and create chaos when their needs aren't met. Extremism is a product of lack.
Another reason I can't stand fundie literalists--aside from them ignoring the needs of 'the least of these'--is because of the damage they do and have historically done. There are two types of Christianity, one that is genuine, and one which is a tool of the state. I call the latter Constantine Christians, because they only "believe" for the purposes of saving souls and controlling people based on some fantastical myth they have in their head, and they believe they'll get rewarded in the afterlife. If only they actually read the Bible...
can we pin this? This one is so on point.

3:27, the resurrection that happened to fix it Felix is not unique to him. Any of the characters in the movie can resurrect from death, so as long as they die in their own game and aren't a glitch like Venelope. Video game characters come back from the dead all the time. For example, in Minecraft, your character is able to respawn after death. That is probably what the movie was going for. Also Wreck it Ralph giving the fruit to the ghosts (not demons) is not meant to be a parallel to Satan tempting Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. It is meant to show a few things. First off Ralph is an inherently good character in the movie by generously giving food to the ghosts without expecting anything in return (he does many more good things). Secondly, Ralph is more than just the "bad guy" he is programmed to be. He has his own character beyond the programming given to him by the game developers. That is also true of every other character in the movie (for example Turbo was programmed to be the hero of his game but chose to be the villain.)
Thank you for making this video sister :) Really eye opening! Another movie that has this sort of theme I noticed is Guardians of the Galaxy.
Please as a Christian marvel fan I will like to know what you mean about guardians of the galaxy
@PraiseDudu if you pay attention to the plot line of the story, there is a similar narrative like the ones she mentioned in this video. Rewatch the movies and you will see what I mean hopefully. Pay attention to Chris Pratt's dad in the movies.
Hi, thanks for this video. As a boomer, a lot of us has known and seen this going on for such a long time. Symbolism, blaphemous statements in movies, taking the Lords name in vein, laughter at the mention fo Jesus in public, televised arenas as so on. The concept of the 'higher being' being manevolent and resisted at all costs for 'personal enlightenment' is definately not new. Replacing western christian ideologies with a 'new world' approach has been quite successful and its results are clearly evidant in todays society. Keep up the good work.

Wait, wait, wait. Too fast, too exaggerated. I don't think it's worth reducing the whole scenario to symbolism. In fact, it turns out that in this case, you can reduce to gnosticism any story where authority is questioned. But this is not very correct. Maybe it means that not every authority should look like God, and not every rule should be considered a commandment. After all, we are told that we must be wise as snakes.
But you can agree that Truman show can't be denied for the whole dome thing and how Christof watches and controls the life of Truman.
You chose to be in denial Hollywood is evil
It doesn't matter if someone is "good" or "evil" we are all one. We all come from the same source. We are both sides of the coin. ✌🏼💚✨️
I would prefer if we have private dis-cussion google chat me
Wow! When I saw this video on my youtube feed something was telling me to scroll past, but I decided to watch it. Thank God I did! God bless Taylor and may God keep protecting us.
Wow thank you sister you are exposing the enemy may God Bless your Ministry Glory to Jesus
I'm watching another unrelated video, but saw your face. I watched how you started Taylor. I am so glad, that with so many people openly choosing the wrong path, you chose Christ, I love you for that. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, this video was such is eye-opener to be more aware of things around you. The Devil is subtle. You just earned a subscriber. God bless you, Taylor.
Normally i enjoy your content, but this wreck it ralph stuff is such a reach.
I thought a couple of the other movies were a reach, but she went on about Wreck It Ralph for four or five minutes and had my mind reeling! 🤯 I clicked on the video with skepitism, thinking that although she's awesome, she couldn't be serious this time, but there are too many similarities between the Bible and story of Wreck It Ralph to be coincidental 😳😳
@MatthewConlon Ralph is literally in a club with the evil one. Eyes to see, ears to hear.
@@faithmarshall309 Hi Faith, thank you for writing a considerate comment. Personally im pretty into the whole conspiracy thing, celebrities selling their souls to the devil, people going missing at disney etc etc.
In this instance, its absolutely a reach. Taylor is portraying Candy kingdom and the girls within it as the "good guys," (with ralph and vanellope being portrayed as analogies for satan) however in the film its very clear that King Candy has infiltrated this game unlawfully from another game, and has attempted to kill vanellope in order to take her place. The other girls were the exact same as vanellope originally, except vanellope is now just trying to fit in again after she was almost killed.
I see the similarities, especially with the carpenter, but its easy to find similarities anywhere, the real challenge is finding the differences.
Wreck it ralph (who taylor is again saying is a villian), is not actually a villian in the film, he is just the antagonist of the game, similar to an actor. In both the first and second films, he risks his life trying to save others (which is what jesus did).
I'm a big fan of Taylors content, and she has helped both me and my girlfriend come closer to jesus than ever before, however its clear that this video is a reach, and that her content is not always the most well thought out, which i will not bash on her for as it is not easy to discuss matters of the spirit and the heart using comparisons of the world.
This is also not me saying that she is wrong that Gnostisism is being pushed everywhere in media, that is undeniable.
Taylor if you read this, i hope your next video is an improvement on this one! keep spreading the gospel.
@@faithmarshall309 she just did a video about her depression and anxiety she has mental issues i wouldnt put much thought into her silly videos
@@geoffreypalmer2661 How does that got anything to do with' coincidences is it not' stuff?
Christian who happens to be a 3D animator here.. Disliked the video because many of the claims are a stretch
If villian and hero archetypes align with the Bible is because the Bible does it the best
Also a 3D animator and I agree with you except the part about the bible doing it the best. The biblical stories are simply the most well known.
@stiimuli You're allowed to disagree. I'd say it is the best because the Bible claims it's the truth to our reality. This includes the nature of evil, good, and humanity. Modern media that plagiarize or burrow from the Bible does pretty well. Think Dune, LOTR, Warhammer, etc.
Drawing inspiration from the Bible makes our stories better because it makes them more true.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, though.
@@timothy209 1) It seems very odd to state that drawing inspiration from the bible makes stories more true. That's simply a non sequitur even if one considers biblical stories to be true.
2) Good, evil and humanity have been explored in stories long before any part of the bible was written as well as in other cultures. What you may think is being borrowed from the bible may more likely just be reoccurring themes and devices from thousands of years of human storytelling (unless specifically referential).
@stiimuli 1) I guess what I meant is that whatever the story comments on morality or reality is more true if it aligns with the Bible.
2) Could very well be. There are hundreds of years of unrecorded oral tradition and stories. It could be that the Biblical stories we do have been told long before the Bible was compiled. Such as Job
@@timothy209 You and i may be operating under different definitions of "true".
Insightful stuff, thanks for sharing, the devil blinds the minds of unbelievers but the Lord opens our eyes to these kind of things as we grow in Christ. Great deep dive!
God, I was so moved by this video that I'm rewatching it a second time! *Shocking facts!*
Thankyou Taylor, I'm a 62 yr old Grandma of 5, Mom of 4 adult daughters. I was saved 12-8- 85, I've never heard this word before.
