The problem is that many viewers of this film have no firm theological foundation. There are those who have never read the biblical accounts. Then there are those who read them but are not aware of the foundation that is being laid down in theological terms in the early parts of genesis. These people are sheep who are easily led astray.

It is one thing for someone really well versed in theology and basic theological arguments to see and argue the nuances of the movie. It is quite another to let this film have an effect on the viewers understanding of the consequence of sin, our need for redemption, God’s holiness, God’s love for humanity, God’s unilateral promises, God’s power over creation to name a few.

The foundation of Christianity and Judaism is laid out in the first Genesis stories. In order to attack Christianity, it is necessary to attack the foundational aspects in Genesis. The heresies cannot stand without redefining these stories.

The real aspects of the Christian faith began in John 1, “In the begining was the word”. The OT side was its “propechy”.
