What Does the Bible Say About Entertainment?
Key Scriptures and spiritual guidance on entertainment
Raamattu käsittelee viihdettä monissa kohdissaan. Viihdettä voi olla monenlaista, ja Raamattu kehottaa meitä harkitsemaan tarkkaan mitä katsomme, kuuntelemme tai teemme. Se muistuttaa meitä olemaan varovaisia, ettemme anna viihteen viedä meitä pois Jumalan tahdosta tai johdattaa meitä harhaan. Vaikka viihde voi olla nautinnollista ja rentouttavaa, meidän tulee pitää mielessä, että kaikki, mikä meitä viihdyttää, ei välttämättä ole hyödyllistä tai Jumalan tahdon mukaista.
