The film is disingenuous—or rather the marketing for it is—as it suggests that we make a choice between nature and grace. One reviewer suggests that it’s about the middle way, about the redemption of siblings.
Watching this film was almost a mystical experience; seemed to me very profound but couldn’t quite figure it all out….

The orthodox Christian answer — and one with which I concur — is that the Bible is not actually God’s word. Jesus the Christ is God’s Word, and the Bible is the unique testimony to Jesus. Insofar as the Bible witnesses to God’s revelation of Godself in Jesus of Nazareth, then the Bible is the testimony to the Word of God — but the Bible in and of itself is not God’s word.

Really busy at work all day but I made it to church this evening. Today is Maundy Thursday…..
I object when fundamentalism is viewed as orthodox. We have to claim the Bible as our own territory in which fundamentalism is a trespasser.
