I believe that a person who knowingly defies God will be punished." I know this comment is more than a year after the fact but in my research on the Saints, I thought I'd comment on a more important issue. The excerpt I pasted angers me, to be honest. God "punished" Christ for all sin. He forgives those who come to him. I'm not even addressing the nature of consequences because I wouldn't be able to tackle such an issue and my real problem is with the publishing of something that isn't true. “God does not tolerate sin, he forgives it or punishes it.

I certainly appreciate your prompt update. I just went to the "end of the spear" website to find out more about it. It does look like it could be a great flick. I guess I am still in the dark about the "EveryTribe" film makers. They seem to have a message of peace and love and all that. Why they couldn't find a believer to play the role is beyond me. Although I think they choose Chad because he would gain them some publicity for the film. (They are, after all, in this for the $$$) I'll probably see it sometime. But I can wait for it to come out on video. Hey there, Ozz.

And I noticed that the editing for my viewing pleasure was very well done! And I must confess that I know nothing about the movie. I typically do not pay much attention to a controversial movie until it is out and has been given the test of a real audience. I am a bit confused, though, about what exactly it is that you are displeased with. Is it the fact that the main character is gay in real life? Is it that he is not just gay, but an activist as well. And by seeing this movie you would be financially supporting his cause? Being a "fundie", as they say, I am obviously not in favor of homosexual behavior. I just want to understand what it is that has removed your "<i>Hey, everyone! Go see this flick!</i>" posting. I must confess that I hadn’t read your endorsment of the film in the first place.
