Bridge to Terabithia

well i think you have an idea of this movie and i'd say this movie is not that good but i like the messages it implies.

there was message in the part where the 2 main characters plus the family of the boy went to church(the male protagonist is a believer and the girl protagonist is somewhat not) after church, the girl asked the boy:"The Bible, is so great but why do you believe in it?" the boy said:"Well it's needed since we dont want to be punished by God" the sister of the boy said:"God will damn us to hell if we didn't believe..." the girl said:"I don't believe in the Bible but i find it fascinating. I would rather have fun with the Bible than be forced to read it."

if we ask ourselves, do we read the Bible because of force? or we read the Bible because we are fascinated by the work of God? isnt it better if we pick the 2nd choice? since we learn the Bible freely and not by force. if we would study the Bible by force, then we wouldnt appreciate it wont we?

this is my opinion and i think God also likes that we are not to be forced to believe. like in the song voices of truth, there are many voices that echoes but i choose to believe in the voice of truth. God gave us free will and we are not forced to believe. its up to us if we want to.
Jesus once said:"I am the way, the truth, and the light no one goes to the Lord except through me." He didnt say that we should believe Him, He just said this is the only way, it's up to you if you want to believe Him.
