What a sad example of someone who has no feeling for literature, poetry, imagination or the daring potential of life.

Such a cold, restricting universe. How appropriate to own a fish tank.

Sin has never been the problem. Adams broken fellowship with God was the problem. Jesus solved that with perfect shed blood. Holiness is an anomaly. The Bible is CLEAR. Righteousness come through FAITH. Righteousness is NOT something you do. It is a condition bestowed on a believer because of who Jesus is and what Jesus did. On our BEST day we have NOTHING that can please God but our FAITH. Read The Shack. My apologies to all of the black women out there who are made in His likeness and image

Jesus warned at the end of the Beatitudes Matt 5:11 and in John 16:1, that there would be men who for "My sake" would "revile you and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you" and "cast you out of the synagogues" and "yes, the time is coming that whoever KILLS you will think he offers God a service". This poor man has eating the leaven of the pharisees. The Shack is a marvelous book that dismantles some of the years of misrepresentation of God by "Churchianity".. Cont.

Fiction gives you license to do whatever you like, that's why it's fiction!

A very wise minister oncle said, "Don't believe what your preachers tell you, don't believe what your teachers tell you...go home, open your bible and look it up for yourself. Don't rely on what others tell you. They will be giving you their opinion, that's it. Backup their words with God's word yourself. Satan knows the bible backwards and forwards and will try to use it to confuse us. Know God's word so you will be able to recognize Satan's lies.

Many people say....I know God.....but do they say?......I know Jesus Christ.

Furthermore, is it the True Christ? Because many others say," I know Jesus" like the J. Witnesses and Mormons and other cults. Check the Carm website and other Christian websites. Also, go to your pastor, check out other Christian churches and ask their pastors, questions about Jesus, The Holy Bible, and Christian books.

@SOCkindredspirits .....But it is Thee point.....that man submit to the Word of God. Not to the wisdom of men. There is nothing wrong with supplementary reading material ( right now I'm reading..."Emotionally Healthy Spirituality" by Peter Scazzero) , but it is also important to go back to the Holy Bible and see if there is deviation and to watch out for them ....I did find some but overall the book is a helpful one ...and any book that is not the Bible is bound to have errors

[SOCkindredspirits]

I cannot understand how anyone can sit back and criticize this wondeful book because it doesn't fit with scripture? This book brought me closer to God, but according to you, oh my, I need to now distance myself from God because my experience doesn't fit with scripture. I tell you, your recitation of page numbers and scriptures were so moving that I cried, I wept, your criticisms were so so moving, oh my God they were transformational. You should be ashamed! Your mind is small and repugnant.

@TheBrumby1 Well, he has a view good points

[ostinlt12]

@Msbuster actually as he uses Scripture to backup his position, why wouldnt anyone wanting to know the truth and not have itching ears want to listen to CARM? Jesus himself said there would be many false teachers in the last days...this Shack guy sounds like just another one.
