I did a quick online search for an organization whose Statement of Faith agrees with the Christianity Board Statement of Faith and disagrees with my Statement of Faith. The first one that came up in the search meets the criteria. Next. Does this organization publish literature which addresses...

I don’t agree with the theology embraced by the linked source, nor do they agree with my theology - yet I’m able to agree with them and they with me in regard to Moses typology. Moses typology doesn’t originate with them, nor does it originate with me...

There isn’t a human being on the face of the earth and taken a reputable course in biblical hermeneutics who hasn’t learned about typology.

Here is the question that needs to be answered. It is answered, in the Bible. Method of interpretation isn’t an issue with the question. Those who believe in literal preexistence and those who believe in notional (also known as, ideal) preexistence should easily be able to agree with one...

I couldn’t convince you in a hundred years that Jesus preexisted as understood in terms of Jewish monotheism. I can discuss it with others who don’t embrace Jewish monotheism - and have - and they will know instantly that interpretation method is the difference. None of them were so foolish as...

How foolish we are when we convince ourselves that if someone doesn’t believe what we believe then they don’t believe the Bible. We can say it a thousand times and it won’t persuade those holding a different interpretation / understanding of scripture. Biblical hermeneutics is the tool that...

If it doesn’t, it should. WARNING VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED. THIS PROGRAM IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS, VIEWERS SHOULD READ THE BIBLE.

You sure do approach Jesus in ways which I wouldn’t.

Yours are? If I thought they were I would accept your recommendation.

Relax. I’ve already told you that I won’t be watching it. I’ve shared my thoughts on entertainment and truth. I’ve also said that it’s a matter conscience and I don’t recommend what you recommend in regard to this matter.

One more for the readers’ consideration: the end justifies the means?

How about feelings is the standard? That’s popular in a growing segment of society these days. Whatever happened to truth is the standard?

Popularity is the standard? Countless sermons have been given on that notion.

Thinking of some other movies which take artistic liberties with Jesus, two spring to mind: 1. The Last Temptation of Christ; and 2. The Shack Did they go too far? They went too far for me, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
