Epic Sermon Series

[apsparky]

Responding to @jbohica ... Dear Brother... Take to heart the instructions of our King... in Revelation 2:1-7. Do not leave your FIRST love...

Meaning... do not be such a Doctrinal nit-picker that you cannot see the Forest for the Trees.

There are MANY well respected Theologians out there that do not teach scriptural truths... but rely on False Traditions in their Teaching. Including you.

Parables were not used to REVEAL knowledge... quite the opposite... they were used to CONCEAL.

Actually... I found my heart RENEWED and AWAKENED by Eldredge's "Epic Live!" audio resource. After years of trying to live up to the Law and being lulled to sleep in dead churches... slain by legalism... this was a breath of LIFE! Its the Rescue and the Redemption story... alluded to by stories that are more familiar to the general population.

I have also studied the bible verse by verse with Chuck Missler... and I have found NO egregious Doctrinal error in any of Eldredge's materials.

just preach the gospel.

I'm not promoting compromise but I am promoting unity in the body of believers. On the one hand, jbohica has a point that the Bible is the pure epic story of God not corrupted by Hollywood or worldly wisdom. On the other hand, "For he who is not against us is for us." Mark 9:40. Let John Eldridge us Hollywood movies. He's still preaching the correct gospel as far as I can tell.

So this is where church's are getting the truth and guidance for life? From fiction movies and movies that are not factually accurate? What a bunch of crap!!! This should lead to some silly asinine doctrine in the not so distant future if it hasn't already.

John Eldredge, the gospel according to Hollywood.

[SamWiseBrayve]

Were Jesus's stories "real" in a factual sense? Does that mean they were any less true?

[jbohica]

Consider the source. Jesus is God, He is the Way the Truth and the Life.

On the other hand John Eldredge is a man espousing his Hollywood pop culture psychobabble which is earthly, sensual and demonic at best.

It's not about the stories, it's the source, you don't believe that trying to extract truth from a Hollywood movie has the same eternal impact as a parable from Jesus do you?

Remember this, there is an element of truth in all deception.

[SamWiseBrayve]

When taken as a whole is the Bible an epic story of God dealing with, and rescuing His creation? Movies all John is pointing out is that movies, because they are made by men and women (whom are made in His image) can't help but reflect the epic story God has placed us all in.

[bejjinks]

@SamWiseBrayve You mean the parables of Jesus, right? The story of Jesus is real in a factual sense but many of his parables are true in a sense different from factual.

[PenguinDefender]

jbohica, you're a fool. you rant about something you know nothing about. do your research on John Eldridge. You'll find he is a real man of God after the Heart of God and nothing less. Be careful before you attack a man of God.
