What really nailed it for me though was watching and interview with the author on the Today show when they hype surrounding the book was at it's peak. His response to theological questions was enough for me to know I did not want to entangle my mind with it. <BR/><BR/>I feel similarly about the Twilight Ann https://www.blogger.com/profile/07302048440201131958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176388415979802383.post-36407326072872791352009-04-06T21:21:00.000-05:002009-04-06T21:21:00.000-05:00Boyd, thanks for the link.

He's a clear modalist, and so is very very confused about the Trinity. Young also flatly denies substitutionary atonement.<BR/><BR/>Listen and you'll hear just how out front about it he is. He even contradicts himself from one minute to the other at one point in the interview.

Obviously I haven't read it thoroughly yet but already he's expressed some views on the nature of revelation that seem to me to be fundamentally flawed.<BR/><BR/>As soon as I can I'll post another item on my blog about that.

I'll respond to your post here and paste onto your blog, too. <BR/><BR/>My husband and I enjoy movies, and we are really grateful for movie-reviewing sites that give you an overview from a Christian perspective. Yes, you can always exercise your right to use the remote, but it's really nice to not have to waste time/money on an unredeeming movie or accidentally see what you don't Candice https://www.blogger.com/profile/14376385337708360284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-176388415979802383.post-51291665745276164142009-04-05T15:02:00.000-05:002009-04-05T15:02:00.000-05:00Erm...

In my opinion, someone who is grounded in their theology (like the Bereans), wouldn't be harmed by it, but someone who is confused about their theology could be led astray. Rightly dividing God's Word can lead a person closer to God, so why ignore truth and try to find it in fiction? Many lack a confession of what they believe about Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
