<t>Thanks Nomad. I guess I need to stop dinking around and be straight about myself. I'm American Parable because I feel passionate about the message this movie conveys. "Parable", because that is how Jesus Christ conveys truth to people. Because they don't tend to "see" by other means of ...

Angeleyes82, whoever you are, you're the bomb!:-6

<t>To Nomad's question: I slept on it after the first viewing and then the ideas started coming. I had to go back, but I mostly got it after the first viewing. I became Christian about five years ago and spend quite a bit of time in the bible. I would love to talk to the directors about their ideas ...

Having trouble with the film's ending? Drop me a line and I'd love to have discussion with you.:-2

This one is easy. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. (Prov 9:10)

<t>I see that folks are looking at the threads, but not making comment. Does anyone have a feeling about the character "Ellis"? To my way of thinking, he is clearly a prophet. The first indication comes as Ellis makes comment that he knows who has driven up because he has "deduced" it. Also, Ellis ...

When you get old enough, or rather - get old, getting up early becomes less of a problem.

I've come late into this discussion, but reading what you folks have written, makes me wonder about myself and what it is that I do believe.

<t>I just discovered and lost RedGlitter tonight. I read on another thread that she left the ForumGarden because she was discouraged by other members? Can that be so? <br/>
<br/>
I came here because I'm currently a little nuts about the movie No Country For Old Men. Anyway, I just read that ...

Took the test RedGlitter. 100% conservative Chrisitian. That makes me glad!

P.S. It wasn't always so, that's a certaintly.

<t>As I've been looking around here for a couple of days, I'm beginning to think I'm a big dummy. But I do think that RedGlitter has a soul that is animated by the Spirit. I wonder what needs to be going on with our own soul/spirit in order for us to recognize that life in another.<br/>
<br/>
Funny ...

<t>Not so much a reply as a statement. Just want to publicly acknowledge my good and faithful friend Bella. She's nine years old and has a tumor growing inside - Inoperable. Anyway, she's slowed down quite a bit, but still eats with gusto, eliminates OK and lives to play "basketball" in the yard ...

<t>Right. The Mexican's could have gotten the money, but unlikely. Recall the other Sheriff proposes the possibility to Sheriff Bell, but he dismisses it because the Mexicans left the scene in such a hurry. And Llewelyn died in the doorway to the room where he was staying (the room with the open ...

<t>Yes, Chigurh is hiding behind the door, in the shadows, demonic. The first time I saw the film, this scene confounded me. But the reason Chigurh doesn't kill Ed Tom is because Ed Tom is under God's protection here. Again, although not provided by dialog, we can assume that the Sheriff says a ...

<t>I'm pleased that we're getting somewhere. You're right, the telltale blown-out lock occurs later, after Llewelyn is killed. Recall Sheriff Bell returns to the scene after the other Sheriff comments that this criminal isvery bold to have returned to the Eagle Hotel after killing the night clerk ...

<t>No, No, No. It is not about the money. The money is simply mammon after all, "the root of all kinds of evil". If Chigurh was really concerned with money, he would of went with Carson Wells to get the 14 Grand that was offered, then retrieved the cash with Carson and killed him later. Any concern ...

The only baptism that really matters is a baptism of the Holy Spirit. Believe the gospel: Jesus died for the sins of the world, was buried and rose again to eternal life. Faith + nothing.

<t>I believe that God has recently been speaking to me by way of the film No Country for old men. The film has been pretty successful commerically, but very few people seem to recognize the Christian message contained therein. I wrote an essay which details God's presence throughout the film and ...

Once a person accepts and believes the gospel: That Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, was buried and then by the power of God rose again to everlasting life, the Holy Spirit will enter into that person and the proof of His existence will be undeniable.

<t>View the film: No Country For Old Men. This film parables the existence of demons in American society. Anton Chigurh is clearly cast as Satan's henchman. Yet, there is immense hope represented throughout the film, especially seen vis-a-vis the character Carla Jean. She wears a butterfly necklace ...

Check-out No Country For Old Men at movie forum this site. Film is full of the Chrisitian message that Jesus saves!:-6

<t>Chigurh has indeed killed Carla Jean. We know this because we see him checking the soles of his boots for blood; However, Carla Jean's spirit still lives. It is difficult to see on DVD, but she wears a butterfly necklace that symbolizes the transformation of her soul. She has been changed, like a ...

<t>I'm new to online and new to forumgarden. Nice site. I'm a little slow on the uptake and definitely am not familar with "threads" and posting, creating profiles, etc. Looking to learn though. Retired from a day program that served developmentally disabled adults about 4 years ago. Recently came ...

<t>Been looking all over for a place to discuss this film. Anyway, I have written a rather long essay concerning the prevalent Chrisitan theme. See my essay at ncfom.net. In addition, I just read William Butler Yeats' poem, "Sailing to Byzantium" the first line of which reads: "That is no country ...
