If actor is Christian, but he portraits atheist in a film

Sgt. Pepper

All you need is love.
Have you ever acted? Have you ever acted in a Church? Have you ever read the script for a Christian play?

I guess some people have a hard time distinguishing reality from fantasy. It reminds me of an interview that I watched years ago on TV with the actor who played the angel of death on "Touched By An Angel." He said that he was asked by the airline to take another flight because some passengers on the plane were freaked out that he was on the same flight as they were. He was told that these passengers recognized him as the "angel of death," and it really scared them. He said that he agreed because he didn't want to upset anyone. He joked about it, but he said it wasn't funny then. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. I guess if you portray the angel of death on a TV show and your last name is Dye, then you might freak out a few people who apparently can't tell reality from fantasy.

will this actor go to hell? "But whosoever deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in Heaven." Matthew 10:33.

For example, there are TV series about Dr. Hause.

And the Young Sheldon, and Homer Simpson.

What about actors playing Jesus? Thst sounds like possible blasphemy.

If there is a pornography in a film, then while the actors are playing, they are sinning.
So, if there is the blaspheme, it is a mortal sin. Don't be angry at God. You cannot be better than your God. Man cannot be better than REAL God. And even of own understanding of God.


Ok this is quite simple,it’s called acting,Malcolm McDowell wasn’t really Caligula in the movie,Tom Cruise didn’t really fight aliens in the “war of the world” movie either.

Yes, but it is better than to say, "I am Atheist." in front of all planet watching.
I highly doubt that God would be the oversensitive, insecure, petty, vindictive little ***** that you make him out to be. In fact, perhaps your own portrayal of God here in this thread is the real insult and blasphemy.

Mel Gibson played a priest who had lost his faith in that alien movie. But he eventually started to believe again. That's what often happens in faith based movies too. So in that case playing an atheist would be ok I think.

We will be judged by our motives and sincere intent. The wages of unrepentant sin is eternal death. Hell isn't a place of eternal torment.
