Christian Fiction

Communion with the Word

The basic objection to Stephanie Meyer's series is that its main characters are vampires. In traditional vampire lore, the person bitten by a vampire's soul is replaced by an evil demon. This theory means that Edward and his kind would be inherently evil creatures. This is demonstrated in many of the other vampires Bella and the Cullens face throughout the series. They seem more animal-like, giving into their instincts, than the Cullens and some of those that chose another lifestyle. Another objection may come from the fact that Alice, one of Edward's sisters can see the future. She holds the key to many of the important plot twists, but some see her ability as an occult practice. Deuteronomy 18: 10-12 talks about how being a medium is an "abomination to the Lord." As the story moves on, Bella also meets some of the people in Forks who are part of a nearby Native American reservation. Some Christians have objected to the discussion surrounding some of those Native American beliefs, as they feel it would lead teens in the wrong direction. Still, others may object to Bella's strong desire to spend eternity with Edward. Christians have a strong desire to spend eternity with God, in His presence.

When the Cullens are compared to gods because of their looks, the author probably meant the mythical gods of the Greeks and Romans. She, i believe, is not trying to say that the Cullens are gods just that they have that alluring appearance so that they can get their human prey, which they refuse to do. You also forget to mention the things the cullens go through to insure Bella's safety. Try our site www.christiantwilightbookreview.comand know very well about the christiantwilight...
