Can you make a video about why Christians became anti art?

Great question. Not all Christians have been anti-art, but there are quite a few time periods and movements that have had low views of art...starting mostly since the Reformation. I will definitely take a look at making a video on that. thanks.

So this comment may be very long, and sorry if my English is bad, this is not my first language, I'm very good at understanding it but when it comes to writing I can have some problems with it. First of all, thank you so much for your videos ! I found your channel with the video "Does God Care About Art? (In Depth)" then I watched "Christian Creatives, Unleash Your Creativity With Boldness!" and finally I watched this one. Now I'm sure that God put you in my recommandations because this is something I was struggling with a lot since the past week. I'm 21 and I'm a storyteller, I love creating stories, do worldbuilding, planning the adventures of my characters, create their personalities, and I do it in every way I can, wether it's manga, novels, fary tales but to be fair I'm heavilly inspired by anime since I grew up watching it, so Im better in manga/anime when it comes to storytelling (I also love drawing too) A recent event made me think that art is not a good way for me to honor God, and that I am a fraud. I thought that every Idea I came up with was something that came from an evil spirit and that it should be silenced. All of that happen because I watched a video on the topic of maladaptive daydreaming. You see, in my life God is my number one priority, and in everything that I do, I try to honor him and I'm doing my best to be like Jesus, but also, each day my brain is developping my stories, creating dialogues, thinking about the dramaturgy of the story, sometimes I got so immersed in that, that dialogues appeared instantly and by imagining a sad scene I was a bit sad, and a happy scene I was happy. Some of the symptoms are similar but maladaptive daydreaming is about thinking of ourselves and nothing fictitious, and it's something that get in the way of doing simple task wich was absolutely not the case for me, but I didn't understood that a the time, (wich is a week ago) I thought that I was sick. That video almost destroyed me, I thought the last 3 years of making my main story better served to nothing, I tought that everything I created wasn't mine, that I never had any creativity and I thought that the will of God, was me to have art outside of my life. During the past week I prayed a lot, sometimes with tears in my eyes not understanding what I was supposed to do aside of creating stories the only thing I was good at, and because God loves us, he made things happen, he gave me hints, and by his grace I was later able to understand that I was in the wrong concerning my creativity. Since this event is very recent, I'm still a bit affected by it, but I definitely know that I'm healing and that my creativity will be unleashed as before, and I'm also sure that founding your videos wasn't a simple coincidence. The only area I'm struggling with right now, is knowing if it's me with my free will who write my stories or if it's God who write them for me and count on my free will to create them. I'm wondering if I own my stories to be more precise. And I'm not wondering that out of pride, everytime I think about something for a story I end up worshipping God because HE is the creator of imagination. I surrended my life to God and also all aspect of it, but I genuinely wonder if it's me coming up with stories or if it's him putting them in me. Finally ! I see that I wrote a lot of things so I will stop here, but before, I have something to ask. Please brother, can you pray for me so that I completly heal from what recently happened to me and so that my creativity can be unleashed as before (oh and can you answer my question about who come with the story) 🙏 Again thank you for making your videos, they are really helpful and you gained a subscriber 😉

Thank you so much for taking time to comment. My apologies for the delay. I saw it was a long comment and wanted to take time to answer. First, ignore the maladaptive dreaming stuff. If you are a creative person, your imagination is what fuels your stories. It is quite different from some little kid who dreams and never gets his work done and never connects with people... I'm so glad you put that behind you. Second, about stories I think it might be best to describe how the Bible is written and how theologians describe it as verbal plenary inspiration. This means God gives ideas to the writers of the Bible, and then the writer's personality is part of the process of writing the text. God oversees the process but God did not "dictate" Scripture... and this is a good model for us. Even though we're not writing Holy Scripture, we can still be inspired by God in the creative process. As we have the Holy Spirit in us, we should seek to honor God with our art. God may inspire you with other works of art, music, etc. He has also designed you with your own creativity. Sometimes we just work hard at our craft and seek to glorify God. Other times we feel inspired by the Holy Spirit for a particular work. ( Handel's Messiah is a great example) but even then, God is pouring His inspiration into us and we are able to create withbexcellwnce because of our Training and commitment to be excellent in our craft. Does that help? And yes, I will pray. Dear Lord Jesus, May you encourage my friend, Give her freedom from those who fears and bring her peace. May you draw her closer to your heart as she learns to honor you with all her life and creativity. We know you can do it and that you care deeply for us as your children. Guide her and direct her in Your paths. Amen!
