It's Sunday night and I have just returned from seeing "The End of the Spear". I knew of the controversy from World Net Daily but went anyway having heard Steve Saint preach last night at Mission Fest 2006 here it Portland.

Steve's message blew me away. I was raised on mission conferences as a teen and am also a graduate of an Evangelical seminary. Steve's saint's theology of missions was more profound than almost anything I've heard before.

The movie was one of the most moving experiences of my life!

There is no sense at all in which a gay agenda is present in the movie. The cast does a wonderful job.

Frankly, the public outcry about the star and his lifestyle is doing immense harm to the message of the movie and the gospel. Some activists don't know when to shut up.

I am fully opposed to the gay agenda but I this thread (and other Internet articles like it are doing an incalculable
disservice to the work that Steve Saint and Mincaye are doing.

Why must so many celebrity Christians with web sites, radio programs, etc. turn into piranhas when dealing with this issue. Why must there be an almost cannibalistic feeding frenzy?

It seems to me that American Christians had better learn how to stand for truth without spearing each other (as the Waodani *USED* to do!!

And. PLEASE, go see the movie.

You are absolutely right about the caniballistic feeding frenzy, Newberger. I wonder how many of those people who are spending so much time actively campaigning (and lying and repeating lies) about this movie would be willing to spend an equal amount of time praying for Chad Allen.

What a shame that such a movie that portrays vividly the unconditional love and forgiveness of God, would be attacked by Christians. It is spiritual warfare.
