This is incredible. For the last month, we have been saying to everyone to go see this movie in droves because it is a Christian film. Now with everyone ready to go, it is anti-Christian. Why are we finding this out now when it may be too late. This could end up being a tragic situation if everyone does not get to read this post before flocking to the movie in droves.
As long as the left endorses the gay agenda and is anti-religion, they will remain the minority.
So, does Allen play a homosexual in the film? I don't think so. He's an actor. He acts the role he is given in the film.
The film stands for itself. What Allen says outside of the film is irrelevant. It is the character he plays in the film that is relevant.
Gay actors play straight roles. Straight actors play gay roles. That's their job.
We should ignore this entirely, and let the film speak for itself. From all accounts, it's a good depiction of what actually happened.
You might also want to look into your spelling on the link at the end of the post. I don't think there's anything like the "babtist" church or any "babtist" seminary.
As for protesting Chad Allen, this author better be consistent. He must never, ever see a Christian film that features actors who drink too much, have premarital or extramarital sex, lie, steal, or cheat on their taxes. In other words, he must never, ever see another "Christian film" again.
Thank you so much for shedding light on this. Nate Saint & Jim Elliot went to the same college as me. I even heard Elizabeth Elliot speak in chapel when I was a student. How sad that something I have been looking forward to doesn't even contain the gospel these men went to share in Ecuador.
Wonder what story was more important to tell? Guess I'll never find out.
Probably the most offensive aspect of this brainless drivel. I don't know if it's liberals' false egalitarianism that leads them to redefine the Almighty as the God Dude, or if it's their fear of moral inferiority. But I am so sick of Our Savior being depicted as some surfer at the beach. It's a characterization that hardly bespeaks Splendor and Glory.
The movie is already in a competition to see who's story will get more widespread play among the public, the movie subject or the gay power activist who was given his platform by the movie. The bigger the movie, the bigger his interview offers by the MSM. Magazines will print his point of view, and newspaper reviews will mention it. I'm not boycotting the movie, but since my enthusiasm for it has had cold water thrown on it , I will wait for the DVD.
It's not all bad. It's good for Christianity to know who it's enemies are.
The entertainment industry and the media are doing a magnificent job of destroying themselves.The American people reject the liberal tone of the industry but the liberal morons choose to ignore reality and continue with their bombardment.These idiots should have learned something after the internet and Fox News kicked their ass in the news business but they learned nothing.Pretty soon the liberals will have turned a monopoly into a worthless pile of rubble.
FReepmail me and little jeremiah if you want on/off the ping list.
Personally, it was nauseating to see Viggo Mortensen openly smooching another "man" at the Golden Globes.
This shot is from Cannes in May,'05, but you get the picture:
Giving decadent actors,producers and directors the message at the box-office--- can only help turn this sick situation around.
Sorry for grossing you out.
"The problem (well, one of the problems) is that director Jim Hanon handed the role of Nate Saint to a man whom he knew to be a homosexual activist."
It is my understanding Mr. Hanon found out about Mr. Allen's sinful lifestyle after the contracts had been signed. However, if we use this writer's faulty logic, then the missionaries should never have gone to Equador to witness to this tribe because the tribesman are sinners and Christians shouldn't dirty their robes by associating with those who desperately need Christ (such as the tribesmen, Allen, you, me).
My wish would have been that Mr. Allen would be repentant and receive Christ after working with Christians and learning the Gospel message via the script. Unfortunately, that has not appeared to happen. We don't know what seed has been planted in his heart, however.
I plan on seeing the movie.
