I don't care what Eugene Peterson says. The Shack is NOTHING like Pilgrim's Progress. Yes, like The Shack, Pilgrim's Progress was a fiction, but the HUGE difference was that Pilgrim's Progress didn't digress and present a God that is totally contrary to the God of the Bible. Anything people learn about God from The Shack, is not about the God of the Bible, but rather a god of William Young's imagination.

 

The fact that it is fiction has little relevancy. You cannot try to rebutt criticism by using its fictional nature and at the same time make claims as to how much influence it has. On the back cover of "The Shack" it says:

"In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant The Shack wrestles with the timeless question "Where is God filled with unspeakable pain?" The answer Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him...................."

Clearly it bills itself as having correct theology that is intended to change people's lives. This book is complete heresy and very dangerous. It should be condemned on a regular basis and discredited at every chance. No theological conservative would support this book. Ever

 

Agreed, and I am to. Good to see you around here again :thumbs: :godisgood:

 

Who will be the prophet among them? Organizations reach a self preservation mode when the organizations get larger and when it loses sight of its focus.

 

Allan, I've been busy blogging and twittering.

 

But these resolutions are just from some upset messengers of whatever local SBC churhces.

But I do agree with your overall sentiment.

 

That seems like such a waste of time to entertain someone's pet peeve.
