As a result they tend to take a lot of liberties with the basic story, sometimes changing it so much it can't even be recognized except by the name. Thanks for pointing out that it is meant for entertainment, not for doctrinal teaching.Donald Fishgrabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11977970195032209188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-80487578691325446402014-04-08T09:13:59.182-07:002014-04-08T09:13:59.182-07:00Great thoughts Frank!

I am so thankful that God is not really like that-he wants to save everyone and would never leave a sinner behind no matter the cost to himself.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />Marcosdesign trends https://www.blogger.com/profile/08193966612623003020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412187929957069944.post-60258425831265718872014-04-06T19:00:45.168-07:002014-04-06T19:00:45.168-07:00Dear Frank,

The errors and departures from the Bible account, which I have also heard from other believers who saw the film, sound quite serious and even deliberately misleading. My husband and I, while curious, therefore decided not to see it. <br />On the other hand, we did see God Is Not Dead, which proved to be a very well-done, albeit low budget, Christian film. There were many very positive aspects to the movie, including a good portrayal of different reasons why people reject God, and how many different Christians participate in different ways to bring nonbelievers to the truth. Sadly, however, there was no clear portrayal of the Gospel message. As you say, we certainly can't depend on Hollywood for our theology. The best commentary on God's Word is God's Word itself, comparing various passages with other passages to come to a knowledge of the truth under Holy Spirit inspiration.<br />Thanks as always for the interesting, informative & well written post.<br />God bless,<br />Laurie Laurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.com
