This movie came, and bombed, and went away without a lot of people noticing it had ever been here. The public just wasn’t ready for a sloppy mass of para-Christianity cliches.
I was flabbergasted when Steve Brown raved about The Shack on his Christian radio show, Key Life. Was there really such a grass-roots fervor for the universalist heresy? The box office said no.
Hollywood will even make a pretend-Christian movie, if they think it’ll lead Christians away from the Bible.
I simply can’t imagine sitting there watching this bilge.
I can’t imagine it either. I want nothing to do with any heresy.
Ugh, I remember when this book was all the rave. I remember when the argument against critics of the book were, “Well, it’s just fiction!”
Right, so heresy is OK as long as it’s presented in a fictitious format.
And stupid fiction, at that.
The book to use another used up cliché is better. My brother in law gave me a copy to read and I did. I don’t how bad the movie was but the book was pretty good.
Sorry, but what is good about a book that depicts God the Father (who never assumes bodily form) as a black woman, God the Son as a doofy, klutzy guy, and the Holy Spirit as a woman?
What is good about a book that teaches universal salvation without repentance?
This book is chock full of heresies.
Well, I did give it an F-.
