Love your thoughts on idolatry and also the Shack, which I also just finished... and had similar views to yours. I heard Mark Driscoll's comments on it too and found them valuable.<BR/>Also it seems our babies our due at the same time (mine, our 3rd, is in Aug) and I cloth diaper as well... Is it your first?<BR/>So clearly we have plenty in common. I'll be back!<BR/>I'm at heartpondering.wordpress.con - new blog - if you want to check it out.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>SusanSusanhttp://heartpondering.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783775461378070930.post-11992147494439450002009-03-10T16:42:00.000-04:002009-03-10T16:42:00.000-04:00Deanna, the press/PR truly made this book out to b...Deanna, the press/PR truly made this book out to be <B>the next big thing</B>. I heard the same thing about likening it to <I>Pilgrim's Progress</I>, yeah..riiiight.

Someone joking told me the other day I only had a few days left to read it before they took my 'christian' card away. I think when it was named the next 'Pilgrims Progress,' I decided I didn't want to read it. It couldn't compare.Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11276475049126664906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783775461378070930.post-11109322918633463272009-03-01T22:09:00.000-05:002009-03-01T22:09:00.000-05:00Anonymous: I apologize if you misunderstood my tho...Anonymous: I apologize if you misunderstood my thoughts regarding the Trinity. I <B>wholeheartedly</B> believe in the Trinity, comprising of co-equal, three distinct Persons: God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Lots of scripture affirms this even though the word "trinity" literally never appears. <BR/>The point where I disagree most with "The Shack," is the concept of there being no hierarchy within the Trinity. While all three are co-equal, Jesus clearly submits to the Father (John 4:34). Hierarchy as the book claims, is the result of sin. Yet in the Garden of Eden before the Fall, Adam was the head of Eve. It is not to say that Adam is more valuable than Eve, both are equal in God's eyes. There is simply a concept of roles within relationships. <BR/><BR/>Kelly: Thank you for your encouragement :) I <I>do</I> need to trust my discernment more. I have heard from friends that some churches are even doing it as a study! (And I don't think they were doing it as a form of apologetics, but actually using it to learn more about God). No doubt that 2 Timothy 4:3-4 was right about there coming a time when people refuse sound doctrine and instead prefer their ears to be tickled.Megan at My Heart, My Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814073504070400575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783775461378070930.post-35906723012473085192009-02-27T11:25:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:25:00.000-05:00I haven't read it but I heard some women in my Sun...I haven't read it but I heard some women in my Sunday School class say they picked it up, too, to see what all the fuss was about and that it has no basis in doctrinal truth. My SS class has just completed a series on spiritual gifts where I learned that the Lord has given me the spiritual gift of discernment. Through this I have been amazed at how easily Christians, even strong, church-going ones, are deceived. Trust your discernment and don't waver, discernment is so crucial in these times where there are so many false prophets in the forms of teachers, books, movies, etc.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692901896957613368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7783775461378070930.post-31868049001071503772009-02-27T11:15:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:15:00.000-05:00I haven't read The Shack, but I do not understand ...I haven't read The Shack, but I do not understand why you are so appalled by the idea of the Trinity. And there is support for the idea of the Trinity - e.g.,<BR/>"[T]here are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." (1 John 5:7).<BR/>Can you really say that there is irrefutable evidence that that there is no Holy Trinity? I don't think you can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
