".....and I'm a Dobbler radar station"
"“If the film is a faithful portrayal of the events and the theology of the book, then every Christian should be gravely alarmed at the further advance of beliefs that smear the evangelical understanding of the truth of the Bible,”"
If there ever was an understatement, there it is.
But, 'black,' 'curvy' and 'woman.' have are not the heresy of the film.
If it wasn’t an intended poke in the eye, the Washington Post pro’lly wouldn’t be reviewing a movie with a religious component about an encounter with God.
Replace “curvy black woman” with heavy black man or thin Jewish man and they’d lose interest rather quickly.
He’s not George Burns, either.

Theologically, if there were no social streams of contamination, I have no problem with the premise. His ways are not our ways. That said, to think the author had no clue as to how his carefully crafted weapon would be used is naive. That the BSM is eager to receive this weapon and wield it is understandable. The libtards weaponize everything. In this sense it is heresy. To abuse Faith in this manner is a First Amendment violation.
These boring, classless, talentless people.
It really is one of THE MOST heretical books--on multiple levels--to come out of the evangelical world in a long time.
I heard all the “bad” about The Shack, and just chose not to ready it. But a friend asked me to read it to give her my take.
I loved the book. Number 1, it’s fiction. Just as with LOTR movies, or
C.S. Lewis children’s books, there is a representation of God. But the book clearly explains why “papa” took the form of a woman. He (papa) explains that if he’d shown himself as a father figure to begin with, the message would have been rejected due to the main character’s relationship with his dad.
At the end of the book, papa takes the form of a man, once he explains why he chose to be take on a woman’s form in the rest of the book.
I will say that anyone who has suffered loss or disappointment, the book is
window into the soul of a sufferer.
Just how many flops can Hollywood stand?
The Bible says that we are all created in His image.
So logically it would follow that in some way God must resemble a curvy black woman.
There’s a lot more in The Shack to be concerned about that who is playing God in the movie.
One of the problems with the story (yes, I read the book) is that the only human incarnation of God is Jesus. I just could not get past that in the book.
Ummmm.....it’s fiction.
Someone pushing their lbelifs on me. Even curvy white blondes are preferred about AA men. Anyway shouldn’t God be similar in my image?
God’s Word refers to God as He. End of discussion.
