His Résumé Before the Age of 4: "I Saw Jesus on a Horse"
New York Times ^ | April 16, 2014 | Jeannette Catsoulis

The wooing of religious moviegoers — a delicate operation, as the “Noah” backlash attests — has been ramping up lately, with major players like Ridley Scott and Ben Kingsley mining the Bible for box office gold. But if there’s such a thing as a safe bet in this genre, it’s “Heaven Is for Real,” a Christian sermon that even the most doctrinaire believer can applaud.

Compare the movie Noah to the bible and then look at Heaven Is For Read to see the stark differences.

I have the adult book, the children’s book, and a special devotional and is faithful to the Bible passages.

Is he sure it wasn’t a donkey’s colt?

I’ll buy the DVD for god is not dead as we’ll. My personal opinion is every Christian should see god is not dead in theater. For several reasons. (No I’m not affiliated with the movie). :)

In this world, on that first Palm Sunday, yes Jesus did ride a donkey’s colt in humility as the Savior of the world. Now in the glory of Heaven, I would assume Jesus would be riding on a horse as the Great King of Kings.

It is a sad time for the church when we ask Hollywood to provide us Bible Study programs. Is 90 minutes of film a justifiable substitute for being in church on the Sabbath?

Well, at least we are being entertained; obviously, God falls somewhat short of that “goal” eh?

Well at least this movie could very well plant “seeds” into hearts.

Always wondered if the white horse of revelation was literal or symbolic? Certainly he doesn’t need a horse for traveling. We know that much

Personally, I’m not really on-board with that concept either. The Holy Ghost is the actor/sower of such seeds. Relying on a movie to do the work of the Paraclete seems a bit “mis-directed” to me.

YMMV

I have the adult book, the children’s book, and a special devotional and is faithful to the Bible passages.I have seen some reviews that state that his is a blend of Mormon and JW theology. I have some reservations.

There are few movies where when the movie is finished I stand up to applaud. After viewing, God Is Not Dead, the entire audience stood up to applaud. Have to believe Heaven Is Real will have the same reaction from the audience viewing. Looking to be one being there.

Why do I need visions or seers of visions? The Scriptures are sufficient.
