To me there is no point in teaching the plan of salvation by way of witches and mystical nonsense.
Whatever happened to the plain "Thus saith the Lord?"
Since when are movies necessary anyway?
I wonder if there is any point in teaching the plan of salvation by way of an ever burning Hell, going to Heaven or Hell upon death, and having the people in Hell converse with those in Heaven.
Quote:
There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.' "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.' "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"
Luke 16:19 - 31 NCV
I think that we must be misunderstanding what EGW said about fiction. If we take it to mean that all fiction is evil and of the devil, we have some serious issues. First, it would mean that EGW condemns herself for recommending a work of fiction to be read (Pilgrim’s Progress) and her attachment to the fictitious stories of King Arthur. Second, that would also mean that EGW is condemning Jesus for using a fictitious story; she would be saying that Jesus used the methods of the devil and is therefore an agent of Satin himself! Now is that really what she meant, or are we just a little off on our understanding?
Oh Happy Day!

Mark,
First, as Dave pointed out, Narnia is not LOTR, and secoundly, the book is (almost) always better than the film. Violence makes profitable movies and the limited timeframe of movies means cutting away other parts.
While it is true that LOTR and also to a lesser extent Narnia has a war theme, thats not something that is unheard of in theology or the big picture of salvation history. Just see the frequent references to the GC in some of the other live threads this past week.
/Thomas
Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell
