Longhorn, I'm sorry, but I KNEW you were were going to say that! ;D
Musicman, You're right about that statement for sure!

Just imagine if we had died as children and had to stay children for all eternity.  Better yet, imagine if we live to be 107 and had to remain in our 107 year old bodies for all eternity.  Don't these people ever think of these things?
I would hate to remain in my current body for all eternity!  :D :D :P :P

That has to be CRAZY!

After reading some of the comments on the book "the Shack" I started feeling
 a bit sick to my stomach.
I read it, and I thought it was a fascinating read.

If you don't understand allegories and metaphors,
than I can see that it presents a problem.

I don't know if any of you have seen and heard Paul Young's testimony,
I did and it moved me to tears to hear his story of abuse.

This book was written at first as a Christmas present for his children.

To date it has sold over 5 million copies and is being translated into 42 languages.
Atheists have turned to God after reading  this book.
 
I would suggest that some of you do some research before posting cheap comments.

Just some constructive criticism.

Hi Jopie,

When I read your comment this verse came to mind.

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Although I do agree we should all be temperate and merciful with our words often it is extremely difficult to refute blasphemous, unscriptural statements as well as man made fantasies about our God and His plan and purpose for His children without sounding (to some folks) harsh.

No offense intended.

Peace,

Joe

Well I read a really long review of the book from a Christian who didn't find the theology correct in it either.  ???

But this is my question. Just yesterday a friend told me I HAD TO read this book. Now, this is one of my very few friends who knows what I believe.
She doesn't agree with me but mostly (IMO) because she "doesn't have time to read" the stuff I've sent her. She and her husband are both very open minded and she is the one who is responsible for me being here! She sent me the article about tithing by Ray.

Anyway, for those who have read this. Why do you think she wants at BTer like me to read this so badly?
Curious as to your thoughts...
Lin

Linny,

She probably wants your approval, since she believes that you are onto something that she doesn't, or can't understand. That is why we must:

2Ti 2: 15-16 (MKJV)
15  Study earnestly to present yourself approved to God, a workman that does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
16  But shun profane, vain babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.
