Oprah - The Shack

[00Gladiator1]

Young says "we have had a lot of bad theology that have created a god that is not on our side"

yes Bad Theology is why we have so many cults like Mormonism and Jehovah Witnesses. Young says our understanding of the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit) is too hard to understand so Paul creates a Heretical story redefining the real nature, characteristics and attributes of God, to somehow clear things up?

Young's is guilty of breaking the first 2 commandments...

[00Gladiator1]

@00Gladiator1

1. You shall have no other gods before Me.

2. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

y'all need to chill

[foresigns]

Oprah has lost all sense of reason in her spiritual blindness.

[Trappyhands]

I think Oprah wants to be Papa. She would not let a book be sold on her show without reading and approving it.

[Norseman870]

if oprah likes this book, it's probably pretty messed up

[KingThaddeusIII]

@Norseman870 She clearly says she hadn't read it.

[memama2]

Listen to YouTube: ...Church of Oprah #3

[angele212121]

The book is fiction (get over it).

It's for pure enjoyment...I read no scriptures

in it.

It's sorta like reading Superman books, are

we gonna start flying?

Enjoy it, or don't buy it ...PERIOD!!!

[SkyScrape1]

@jimjam3579 I hate you

[smegmasaurus]

Anyone with intellect realizes that God did not give it to them and they also recognize this book for the piece of supermarket shelf trash it is. I am an atheist and I read the book from cover to cover because I made an agreement with a Christian friend. It was comparable to choking on vomit without spitting it up. It wasn't the subject matter as much as the absolutely horrible writing that made this such a chore. BTW, Christian friend has not upheld her end of the bargain. Surprised? Not I

[hjames78]

People need to learn how to stop glorifying things that they don't agree with or don't like. I'm an openminded person who has gained insight from the bible, Buddhist books, tao books and authors that Opera has promoted. Now because of all the hype about the shack I want to read that too. If people didn't put some much energy into talking about the shack (whether it be good or bad) I wouldn't want to read it so bad. The people who speaks down on the book promote it more harder then anyone.

[tinycrack77]

What was the point of this video?? The fact that Oprah fans like the book and are avid fans is a testament to problems with the book. My rule of thum: if Oprah and her fans rate it #1, then there's probably a problem. Best spiritual rule: If Oprah believes it, believe the opposite...you'll do ok then. :)

[theMcrWayOfLife]

Yeahh, i was on the really sad part and i looked on the back and it said FICTION i mean boo that was sucky cuz i thought it was true. heyy i wouldnt have cared if they just lied :P

[Mokkashe]

I know the problem with people is that they TALK things to death! Look very close to a flower Up close people may think fuzzy and furry mainly dark drab colors. How many people would say its ugly? Pull out farther to see the bigger picture and you see what you hadnt before. A way to see beauty in a completely different perspective. This world lacks sight. No one can tell me God isnt speaking to us thru this book. A work of Fiction I think NOT. If God touches you there is no fiction only Truth.

[lastoldlady]

@Mokkashe Yeah, the person who wrote the titan thought He was writting fiction too, but sometime later people built the Titanic turns out the fiction revealed what was to come true in the Titanic.

[apologiamixer]

Watch Dale Brown's review of the shack on Youtube

[topgun70009]

watch mark driscoll's video on The Shack

[DreamCatcher922]

If you loved The Shack, you should really check out Gita Nazareth's Forgiving Ararat, as this book too explores themes of judgment and forgiveness in the face of violence. As a fan and publicist for this book, I'm interested to see what parallels are drawn between the two.

[dudeedud7]

Read The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

[nobelsweet]

Hiearchy and superiority is all I smell and feel when I come into contact with religion - not to mention the money grab. All Young was doing was giving a tangible feel to the the road of forgiveness and salvation and this is wrong how? How exactly do you communicate with God? The routine you favour has gotten us NOWHERE. You can't stand the fact that relationships are the key to our deeper understanding - it's too much like work...

[jfbruglio]

Mr. Young wrote a FICTION BOOK. Relax

[zaxmacks]

@jfbruglio How can you relax when so many Christians aren't reading it as 'fiction'?

[tinycrack77]

@zaxmacks I agree. It's wrong when people say, "I realize it's fiction, but it taught me so much about my relationship with God (doctrine) and who God really is (theology)."

[cedarkey59]

There is a stark difference between , Reading the Bible and Understanding the bible through prayer and studious dedication to studying the Bible. Please understand that the Bible is a tool that is meant to inspire our being and to guide and direct our lives, not a tool for argumentative purposes between ourselves.

[WhatsHermeneutics]

If any one had read the Bible they'd know The Shack is baloney.

[ZedekZadik]

You just haven't read the Bible enough to see The Shack's truth yet. Keep walking with the LORD and you will.

[bella50008]

No YOU haven't been walking with the Lord enough to discern the truth of scripture, keep reading the Bible and you will.

[guzzy620]

The more you walk with Jesus the more you should realize the shack is not at all biblical.

[NemoAlfa]

the shack is not a true story... but the stuff in it is true!

[sahnie82]

Because it's a NOVEL.

[bella50008]

Yep, laced with strychnine.

[bella50008]

Yep, laced with strychnine.

[popomczowzow]

Does it really matter? What's so "terrible" about this book?

[guzzy620]

It's not a bad book, but if you take it literally you run into trouble. I realize he wrote The Shack for his kids, and that's great, but it's FICTION and we need to approach it as a fiction book.

[popomczowzow]

Yeah, it's a fiction book. I disagree about it being written for kids though

[guzzy620]

The author for his kids who, are now, in at least their 20s

[popomczowzow]

Ohhh I thought you meant like a children's book lol

[brian9monty]

Thats the danger of it. As with any thing, books, movies, etc. Fiction can be taken to heart and begin to twist truth. Concerning Christ, fiction should never be told. Souls are at stake.

Its ok to tell that Jesus is a "brother" who submits to "you?" Fiction may convey that the characters are fake but the meaning is real. This is false teaching and another tool for the devil.

[rustysruger]

...for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth...Genesis 8:21

[watchthefaithrain]

@rustysruger You do realize that everything you've just used to tell us this had it's beginning in NO other place but that evil realm of imagination, right? Keyboard, desk, language (debatable), YouTube, ect... Don't use the evil devices to communicate the evil of the devices you're using, please. Thank you, God bless.

[rustysruger]

@watchthefaithrain No I think you've got it wrong...

Devices aren't and indeed can't be evil in and of themselves...

Its the wicked heart of man who devises evil uses of them...

Man has never invented anything that he sooner or later had not used for wicked purpose....

[watchthefaithrain]

@rustysruger My point before wasn't that the devices (themselves) are evil; and I apologize for referencing it that way. However, I think you've misunderstood me. You must ALWAYS use your imaginative state of mind when even deciding (How) to use these devices. Example; you could have worded your statement differently. Emphasizing specific words or phrases, (as I'm doing now). Or you might have done something more profound than that. (Point) You used your evil imagination to tell me it's evil.

[watchthefaithrain]

@rustysruger But in all honesty, I know what the verse means. The curse of man wanting to be his own God will do nothing but corrupt the entire being. This includes our imagination; and since we're born into a world of independence and sin, it's a given that we inherit the evils of sin; one must be born again. I do apologize if it had seemed as though I wanted to argue. I really, really don't. I assure you. Just thought I would point something out so others understand. Thank you, sorry again.

[gidva]

The father turned his face away because of the sin that was poured on Jesus.

Abraham Issak, the passover, the many sacrifices made by every culture point to the one .

without sacrifiece theres no forgiveness of sin.

Listen to more U2

e blood.

[wsciro]

Oprah should read "The Shack".....

[ryank119]

she would love it.

[strange3141]

Oprah should study the Bible. It can lead her out of her New Age beliefs.

[guzzy620]

Amen

[ktgirl93]

the Love Dare.... awesome....the main book in Fireproof... VERY good movie...
