1John is written for born again Christians...this man was used as an instrument for the falling away...so is this movie...this happened back in like 2005 or 2006...why would they put the movie out now? in the greatest falling away ever? th devil will disguise himself as an angel of light...please know this theory IS heresy...there is a hell...

Acting goodI liked the actors. I didn't like the plot. A "crisis of faith" normally means debating whether God exists. The "crisis of faith" advertising was misleading.

I wonder why anyone would think this would be an interesting story. If God would have told him to build a building we would call him a nut job, but if God calls him to a message of "inclusion" he is a hero? Those inside the church will see this as another Story where a guy lost his faith as hollywood likes to tell. Those outside the church will see this as some fight over boring church theology. Maybe a Unitarian would like it.

Yes you've got it, I don't believe in any of it. But the film was a decent portrayal of someone who does, but then asks questions of their own belief, that's true enlightenment. As Voltaire very cleverly put it, " if God didn't exist, man would have to create him ". Make no mistake there has to be a creative power, I just happen to be one of those who thinks we don't and never have been able to comprehend it. All of human history has had a Heaven, be it Valhalla or Nirvana, basically a fear of mortality. Hell in the modern sense was a late arrival, if you crossed the river Styx, it was just the dead underworld. Hell and demons take centre stage with the advent of Christianity or specifically Catholicism. All pagan gods now become the hierarchy of demonology. All heretics are doomed to hell, salvation must be sought or bought. Christ threw out money lenders, so Christians could be millionaires. If I lie, strike me down now, Aaaaarrrrrgghh.
