she regularly seeks a greater understanding of the world and the universe thru different means, namely spiritualism through higher intellectualism called spiritual psychology, where the mind connects to the energies surrounding the individual

energies dont do nuttin.. but demons sure do!

what a shameful pair of opportunists

My wife and I just came back from viewing 'Son of God'. We don't see the problem with the film. We have seen most of the films about Jesus. They all leave somethings out.

Furthermore, the gospels were written years after the event of Jesus's life and crusifiction. And, there are 3 years' of living that are only parley accounted for in those books.

History Channel seems to be for insane people and charlatans in a way similar to Coast to Coast radio.

I read the article and it seems to be just another conspiracy thread. I will be going to see the film this week and make my own judgement.

No movie can possibly convey the Gospel message accurately. God meant it to be read from His book and filtered through His Spirit by His children......else He would have made a movie. God communicates with us through His Word and His Spirit in ways that cannot be duplicated in a movie. However, movies like this can be a funnel to lead people to Jesus, as long as they read the book and obediently follow afterward.

I very likely will not see it, as I am not a consumer of Hollywood’s products. From what I’ve read, I wouldn’t call it preaching “another Jesus” as much as presenting a watered-down Jesus that may help bring people to Him - sort of like the “buddy-Jesus” we teach to children. I don’t sense satan’s hand behind this, despite the sketchy background of Ms. Downey and her husband - it sounds to me like a spiritually immature attempt to portray the real Jesus, and as such has its place as a gateway to the truly real Jesus.

I haven’t seen this movie and I don’t plan to, but I would like to read some detailed reviews of it by Bible-believing Christians. From learning about the beliefs of Downey and her husband, though, the film is surely false teaching at its foundation, and that it is accepted in Hollywood is evidence of that. Certainly people can be reached with the Gospel through false teachers, but it is also a duty of Christians to take every opportunity to expose their false teaching and teach the truth for the sake of those being reached.

Sure it’s not perfect. What from hwd is ever perfect?
Some want all of life, particularly entertainment, to be one sermon after another. Some even insist it should be exclusively a sermon of their own little denomination. Paul said, “Beware when ye think ye stand lest ye fall.” “Son of God” remains a means of starting conversations with unbelievers. Is it good for unbelievers to watch alone? Of course not, nor is anything else out of hwd. But to be beside a believer, or afterward explaining the real story, very good indeed.

Lot's of folks claim to be a Christian on TV.

I would love to see them pushed on what that means. Doubt many would give any definition that resembles what is said in Scripture.

I found this article on Rapture Forums web site. This guy is totally against this movie. I have read many of his articles on this web site and they are well written. Here is his response to this movie:

BEWARE of the movie "Son of God"

By Tim Cameron

***This might not be very endearing to myself but I feel like I need to share this.

2 Corinthians 11:4 For if he that comes preaches ANOTHER JESUS, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.

In Light of the EPIC movie Son of God, BEWARE. There IS another Jesus. There is a Biblical Jesus (The Word become Flesh) and one that is UN-biblical, that is quoted as say things NOT in the bible. IE "lets Change the World"

Where oh where does scripture show that The Biblical Jesus told us to "change the world?" So Son of God must be speaking of???? Another Jesus!!!

Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

Beware of the Ecumenical Message from the movie called The Son of God. Jesus did not come to "change the world" that is THE SOCIAL GOSPEL, Jesus came to "Save the World"

The Social Gospel (False Gospel) that is spreading like wild fire, would be equal or liken to, having told Noah "instead of building that Ark there Noah, how bout you go and make earth better" "Hey all you people, even though Titanic has struck the iceberg, we are here to make you feel better about yourself and help you arrange deck furniture" It sounds so good and noble BUT to those "in the days of Noah" ONLY the ark could save, to those sinking on the Titanic...only Life Boats could save and to ALL those lost and headed for everlasting torment, ONLY The Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified can save. Jesus did NOT come to "change the world" He came to "seek and save that which was lost." The EPIC movie being touted Son of God, is VERY much of the warning Jesus Himself trumped in Mathew 24. "Many will come IN MY NAME" but their message will be FALSE.

In just plain speak, to all who might want to hold to the "change our world" theology (Dominion/Kingdom Now)

Name One place on planet earth that The Church is "winning culture?" The commission isn't to make earth better but share The Good News, that even though this place is headed for destruction, Jesus has overcome the Grave and Romans 10:13 "Whoever calls upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved." 2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

We can see in that passage alone that this place despite all human effort is heading for a time of disaster YET there is this "we are the world" message of unity and tolerance that has unfortunately taken deep root even "in the church." It is ecumenical, it's COEXIST "for the greater good."

Look what is happening in real time. A movie is coming out called NOAH and yet its message is "save the earth." Its been declared "unbiblical" by the secular media even asking the question "Will Evangelicals support unbiblical Noah?"

And then a movie titled Son of God (In My Name) is produced by Roman Catholics heavily into new age mysticism and speaking with the dead. (Necromancy)

Please take the time to test all things and take heed. Tim
