    I am not charismatic and reject New Revelation. What I saw in the film did not contradict scripture.

    I apologize. I took the film to mean that the guy had an after death experience where he saw heaven (at least the gates of pearl) and came back to tell the story. My bad.

    If you reject new revelation then how exactly do you see this man's experience? I'm trying to understand how you reconcile your theology with the movie.

    I really do not know what he experienced whether true or false. It was a good movie however.

    I might check it out if it's free. I don't like some of those movies because they seem so far fetched. Now, you want to see a good movie....Star Wars was a good movie.

    Movies made for profit are terrible places to look for theological truths.

    Not Star Wars. It was made to enrich our lives and give us closure. They didn't care about profit...

    It seems so, I just don't know why you'd watch it twice so soon (but a friend of mine's son did).

    You know what I liked about that movie most of all? No rabbits. Not one. Actually, l liked how it complemented the original movies (didn't like how old Carrie Fisher looks though.....she was attractive when I first watched the movie....makes me feel old. I am thankful that she didn't wear that costume she had on with Jabba the Hut....that would have tainted many childhood memories....).

    Awww man. I worked hard on that Carrie Fisher comment and you got stuck on the rabbit comment.

    Hey, you ever read "Praying with Paul" by D.A. Carson? I think I'll start it next.
