I just found all this today. The book, the movie and this interview. I read the comments below and it's very concerning how many Christians are so angry at this man's book. I am a child of God. How can you not hear what this man is saying? He's honestly asking all the questions people ask everyday. Why does bad things happen to innocent people? He's telling you his heart and his life. There is so many lessons from his life. This man has lived through actions, events in his life as a child that I am amazed at his strength. Only God can give him that strength. How can you not comprehend that? He was drowning in shame. He speaks wise words of those that have suffered through their life by making wrong decisions, taking the bad path in life. Of course God loves him just as deeply as he loves you and me. Jesus would walk up to him and hug him. That's how my God loves. And I am grateful for that.
So true what you say, so we have to be like Jesus Christ who said forgive them for they know not what they do. They did it to Jesus Christ, they will do it to this man, me , and anybody else who awakens to the truth in what ever form it comes. love Vanda
His questions are answered by the bible. This is HERETICAL. Paul young claims hell is a good place or doesn't exist!!!!!!!!! WHAT????
@@vandaguzmanallthingsspirit5653
This is garbage and deceiving.
When my Dad died I was 9 and I was so angry with God for taking him away. I have since than been working on faith.
Wow, the negative comments that talk of blasphemy, etc, are so worrying. They show the worst types of things spouted in religions generally. People who are not compassionate at all and full of judgement. What do you people do for work or leisure that you feel the need to look down on others with only your view as a valid one. I know non-religious people who are far nicer people to know, who will help anyone whatever their faith or non-faith. You need to look at yourselves firstly. You clearly work within a bubble of fellow thinkers. What an absolute joke. Shame on you.
"Give this to your kids and I will give it to mine" My heart skipped a bit at that frase because The Shack *found me* at a most perfect moment of my life, when I most needed it, without even knowing I needed it, of course. Definitively *a gift from God!*
I've read it a few times since. What a powerful speech! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, wow, wow! His vulnerability, openness and honesty hit me so deep! Talk about healing!!
I am in awe and overcome with a deep welling up of sobs such that I have never had and I don't know why...not pity nor sadness...but more of reverence and unbelievable gratitude and compassion ... and forgiveness of self ... wow wow wow. There is such grace in Paul's authenticity.
that is how the book makes you feel
Dan Rush shut the hell up and actually say something good. You've commented on 100 comments on UA-cam and you only being people down.
I read the book and have seen the movie several times, I love both and cried when I read the book and everytime I see the movie I cry, It is a beautiful story! Everytime you see the movie it increases one faith!
I do wish the religious community would stand in awe of the wonder and profound love He expresses with such humility and honesty.
I commend him for being able to tell his story without crying 😢
He IS MY HERO! He does cry... Throughout Restoring The Shack... He tells this truth, behind the story... H.E.R.O💯🔥🙏
What an honest and beautiful testimony. It will bring presence and healing to those who are ready to hear it.
His questions are answered by the bible. This is HERETICAL. Paul young claims hell is a good place or doesn't exist!!!!!!!!! WHAT????
Cannabiss: I can assure you that Paul Young is wrong.
Every human being is extraordinary they just don't know it yet... so good...
This explains so much, and because your story strikes so many personal chords with me, it has intensified the experience all the more - if that were even possible. Papa bless you.
Papa?? 🤔
Wow amazing listening to the author of the Shack. I am not religious but on day I saw the book 'The shack' in bookshops. The picture on the front of the book caught my eye. I bought the book. Normally it takes me ages to read a book but I could not put this book down. I was right there in the shack. I then passed the book to my sister who then passed it to her friends.
This movie is not a biblical documentary, nor does it claim to be. It is a symbolic portrayal of the nature of God. This film can bring healing to those who have had tragedy strike and to those who are mad at God for whatever reason. Gen 1:27-So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male AND female created he them. So I as a woman am created in the image of God. Agree? The fact that God's character is a woman is showing His gentle side, His nurturing side...I would keep going but I don't want to spoil the movie to those who haven't watched it...as for me watching it, I was blessed.
Notice that the book denies that God is both wrathful and loving. Keep in mind that the occult believe God is both male and female.
Thank you
The Shack, I soon discovered I was reading a masterpiece … for only a master mind could have written so deeply on a subject with such classical simplicity.”
Thank you! I spent 30 yrs hiding in churches who were often managed by power hungry people. I never fit in. I was always the devils advocate. Eventually I realized that my purpose was to help the suffering outside of the church. I agree totally that God is a totally unconditional being who just wants to love and help us. He/She is always happy to see us. I also found who I am to the core of my being and am myself in every situation and no matter who I am with. That it what THE TRUTH SHALL SET ME FREE MEANS:) I've been saying that for a long time. The truth is within each one of us being who we are. Congratulations on a great turn around, a great book, a great story. Bless you and your family!
Diane Brunette New Age heresy! unconditional being, Diane? (lowercase too.) devils advocate?? Hogwash! Unclean and full of death!
I am so glad the main character is not being played by Oprah as this man stated at the beginning of this video.
And good luck when your times come missy
Are you not doing the same thing you accuse Tina Marie of J Howe ~ taking it upon yourself to say you know the truth and she doesn't? Why not leave that between the individual and God as we aren't going to stand before God regarding our beliefs about doctrine and theology but about expressing His Love to others and pointing out doctrine and theology is about what we believe. For certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and having placed in us the word of reconciliation. We think we have the right or the authority to judge what others believe as right or wrong when God says He is not holding sins against us but wants to reconcile and that can only happen with LOVE not with shoving doctrine and theology down one another's throat.
Me too!!!
@@lilnip67 The story about the man who owed the king and was forgiven of his great debt, and started chasing those who owed him. It's a hard teaching. Forgiveness and loving others must be the hardest thing to do, since we all live in a present reality filled with terror and misery, and the good things we have are so little, losing them becomes everything.
Seeing the end changes everything. Just as the book of revelation writes it, "blessed is the one who reads this book".
Forgiveness is the key that's missing. And it's really hard to do.
Me to she's a non beliver who knows the way but has yet let the world take her over but saying this God van change her and use her if she will let him
Correction... that is not Oprah Winfrey. Blessings to you all. I am so glad that Brother Paul is openly disclosing parts of his experiences, thoughts and feelings to help the healing processes in many. Thank you. Kim is the hero...the heroine :-)) !!! God thank You for Sister Kim's tenacity, her God-given strength and wisdom. Praise the Lord! In front of every good man is a Great woman. Hallelujah!
I am grateful for this movie. Christianity is a lifestyle and I was struggling. I want to quit this lifestyle. But this movie gave me back hope, allowed me to smile, I am that man in the movie questioning Papa, asking the same questions. As I listened to the movie I felt Him peeling back my layers. I plan on watching and soaking in the lessons I've learnt until all my layers are gone and am back I alignment with Papa, my heavenly father, my Great I am that I am. Thank you sir for listening to the Holy Spirit and for writing this book and the creation of this movie. God bless you and keep you and let his face continue to shine His face upon now and forever. Amen. Thank you sir 😘🤗💯💃🎊🎊🎁
Takes a lot of courage to share a testimony like this. So glad I came across this video, very touching story. God bless you, Paul.
Cjayhaze I am glad God did something Jesus is so great the Holy Spirit is amazing
Cjayhaze He is a covert Narcissist, literally! I am sorry he is broken, truly! I empathize with him for that, but do not tread on the Word of God in mockery of His Holy Name for greedy gain. That goes for all you Hellsong and Hollywood sell outs too! This person needs repentance!! How does a Narcissist sociopath repent?? I am not condemning him, he has done that through his illness already. He has to deceive and manipulate to feed his intense pain! He says it over and over again in illustrations that he himself speaks from his own mouth.
So in therapy your “friend” red flag there, Took away the pain of your Dad and God from you in order to cope?
His questions are answered by the bible. This is HERETICAL. Paul young claims hell is a good place or doesn't exist!!!!!!!!! WHAT????
This is a beautiful presentation and pretty holy. It is authentic and honest which is very rare in today's society, world and certainly the church. This man is in many ways like all of us, many of us are hiding in the comments below hating others and stoning others who haven't got it all together like they think they have. You can't do it by yourself!!
Anything but holy. 😕
@@Heidishereandthere Heidi hello. The film The Shack was a depiction of the relationship between father son and holy spirit. Then that relationship to man/woman. It told the story quite beautifully of mans cynicism and darkness and the readiness of the God head to forgive and love us. Do you love Jesus?
So good and challenging and refreshing as usual - Thank you both!
When you write a story from a place of first-hand experience, the story resonates better. That's it with The Shack.
wow. Thank you for sharing this video. It was very beautiful.
The Shack changed my relationship with God. Loved the book, loved the movie. I just wrote and uploaded a song inspired by The Shack called "Your Love Drives My Fear Away"
Daniel Lovett, can we have a link ?? This book have dramatically changed the way I see God as well. I am really familiar with the area Paul uses in his book. Camp with my family and hike there every summer, so, it really hit the right chord in my heart.
phewwwwww...he got me at "holy ground"....the rest was just tears running down my face....I love God..I love him so much...
Thank you your story hits close to my heart & my life
WOW What a speaker and author
What an outstanding testimony, I can identify 100%
Thank God for this
Thank you …this has been a milestone of testimony
I hope this video finds many. Thank you for sharing. How brave and beautiful person. Thank you. I will share this.. was given the book the shack i rarely read books. I couldnt put down. Once i completed called friend asked if he wanted back he said no. I tried to give to someone no one wanted. Had dr. appt. that day. I signed said take this it helped me , read please pass along. Thank you
I read this book... never in my life have i ever read a book that turned in to 3-D. The most awesome book ever wrote.
Burn it!
I've read this book many times and every time I get more out of it. 'Jesus Calling' is also a great book. I hate Religion...but I love God! Baptized Catholic... abused by nuns. Suffered at the hands of evil men as a child...This book allows wounded people to maybe heal a little and understand a little and forgive a little.
This book and "Jesus Calling" are blasphemy! Please look up why Jesus Calling, and this book, are not biblical. God has already told us everything we need to know in His Word, the Bible. There is nothing else that He needs to tell us, He isnt going to "talk" to us in the air and give us a "message". It was all completed on the cross when He said "IT IS FINISHED!"
@@Heidishereandthere Really?? What does the Bible say about UA-cam? Let's not forget how old the scriptures, messages etc. Are for the bible and yet every generation has still maneuvered to apply that in their world since.
This guy is merely talking about everyone, thats everyone being a better version of themselves, if that's NOT GOD'S vision then I am happy to not be a follower of GOD. I only see aggressive Religious people being cruel to others who support the messages of this guy and his story. If your religion is this rigid, dismissive of others and judgmental then its no wonder that followers become less with every generation.
It's got a lot of truth in the film. It all begins with forgiveness. If we can't begin to love another, even the hardest to love, it's hard to see through this film.
all my life I've struggled with trust and acceptance. March 19, 2007 my life has never been the same. this segment had me thinking and in tears
Oh, this speaks to me so powerfully - may we all take the risk of actually trusting the One we belong to, falling into the far greater Love beyond understanding. Thanks, Paul Young, and thank You, Papa!
Oprah Winfrey wasn’t the main role. That was Octavia Spencer.
"there is no greater aspect to the nature of god than relationship" ...
Thank you so much for this talk. I really needed this even after watching such a love filled movie. Love Vandana
The burning bush isnt required to do anything to maintain God's holy love… That's so powerful
A wonderful movie.I had to hold my tears in.
Thank you Paul Young for your amazing testimony. Read your book in Switzerland, spotted someone reading your book (Portuguese) in Brazil, shared many copies of your book with others who need to hear, not the doctrines / dogmas of religion, but truly experience a relationship with the trinity. To the cessationists, God pursues us and woos us to have a relationship with Him. For some of us in a most peculiar creative way. God is the creator who by the way is creative, we who are made in God's image are creative, therefore; He will approach us by creative means. Let down your legalism guard and truly explore and receive the abundance the Lord.
A really good testimony where God heals when you face the truth of your past even when it was supposed to be good.
Oh! what a sad person you are. I pray that God's Holy Spirit will speak into your heart and help you to hear yourself being so abusive, legalistic and judgemental to others.
Another Believer passed on this movie 2 me yesterday - So I perceived 2 learn about the author of this story - Glad I watched this video so I could understand what the motive was behind the writing of this book which now became a movie & not listen 2 the religious legalistic Modern Day Pharisees that exist in The Body of Christ 😇✨
So powerful when he was talking about the truth of his being! When we believe we are new & free in Christ, we can walk that out! If we believe we are wicked sinners we will live that out!
Outstanding testimony, this was no accident for me to see, helpful beyond belief
thank you Paul,l love you to,peace and love, Doug.
Universalism at its finest, sad shame on America for how well this movie is doing.
The book is a great book, it allow you to open your mind to look life from a different perspective. when a person go through tragedy their life story can help bring some clarity to their lives. The critic's will judge without knowing all the facts.
Paul and many others like him, are helping to open paths that have been clogged for centuries! :)
I am truly not trying to be rude....but what pathways ????
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. Matthew 5:22 hello?
Paths as in God is not violent and desires punishment, but rather, God is love, through and through. Jesus showed us the Father, in himself. We've seen Jesus, we've seen the Father. Jesus didn't call down fire on anyone and admonished us to not do so either. :)
yes i agree, very sad when someones story replaces Gods word.
yeah paths to hell
Watching the film prompted my dance partner to give his life to Jesus! This interview helped that journey. Thanks to God!
I first seen the movie I'm in rehab what a blessing God is so good he healed me frim my addictions I am free he whom the son sets free is free indeed
I'm an atheist but I loved the movie!
I have to admit to reading many of the comments in a video topic like this one, even more so than the actual video. A part of why I do is to hear the view points of others and challenge my own thinking. God has been very clear with me to always be willing to relearn what I think has been a rock solid theology. He spoke a year ago to me and said that there was to be some reteaching in my life. That's been my current journey and a very valuable one.
Of course, I believe in sound doctrine and testing everything with the one measuring tool we've been given, His Word. That's a gimme. Here's my saddness though. One thing seems very common among believers... We are some of the biggest critical culprits that are out there. The idea that I'm going to tear down a different thought or idea to best support my own... how dishonoring. Of course, we claim that our own interpretation is from God's Word... without fail. Let's just stop to ask, am I really that sure? Or, is there something else that God intended?
For those striking a good, healthy debate in this thread, please don't receive any condemnation. Perhaps my words have caused that and I would be wrong if that's the case. I simply encourage all of us to seek Him deeper and deeper still. For those primarily speaking hate and judgement, hmmm... the field you sow for yourself is saddening.
My sister and I are going to see this film today. It’s a thang she and I do to bond in our senior years. It’s a girls day out. We need our “shacks” renovated. I’ll let you know later… but i will keep in mind… the film is a HOLLYWOOD production. I expect the hollywood excerpts to be in this movie. Past that, I’ll get the book and read it. Who stars is immaterial. It’s the truth behind the story you should seek, eh?
Wow, a very courageous man
Beautiful book and amazing movie. Do not miss it.
I haven't seen such a great movie in a long time. My bestie recommended it because at this time of year marks the anniversary of my more sister by heart that was murdered. The person that did it is coming up for parole and he might actually get it.
When we are constantly told and treated by other people that we are not worthy from birth, how do we believe otherwise?
Mary, great question! The best way to "believe otherwise" is to read how others dealt with such. Starting with Jesus himself! See, he was rejected and felt worthless on the cross as Psalm 22 verse 6 and 7 tells us in this prophesy, hundreds of years before it happened; "But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip (spit),". Now thats feeling worthless! But the clincher is Isaiah 53:3 speaking of Jesus; "He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not."
But why? Speaking of Jesus as a stone; "The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone." Mark 12:10. But Romans 9:33 say's; "as it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone (this Jesus) of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame." For as, "To you who believe, then, this stone is precious." 1 Peter 2:7.
Mary, all this is confirming that Jesus went through what you seem to think of yourself, or that others have convinced you of, for the very purpose of identifying with our plight. Jesus took on flesh and blood like as we, so that he could identify with our plight, our plight of suffering, Hebrews 2:16-18.
But, we can over come through faith believing, as again; "the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame." Thats the promise of God, so "believe otherwise" that God so loved you, that he became this "not worthy from birth", so we can be worthy in Him! John 3:16. Thanks
@@petratical Thank you for responding.
".... no addictions... Pleasing God..." YES!!! Paul, what a great example of perhaps THE biggest addiction most believers have.....
i loved that part too... "gold chained addictions"... 🙏🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 wow thank you 😊
I have seen the movie 🍿 several times it’s a beautiful 😻 movie 🍿 Thankyou
WHAT A TESTIMONY! ;)
yes i agree, this is heracy not biblical.
The writer never claimed it to be Biblical! The writer is closer to knowing the truth than any preacher I know of. It is the heart not lip service. Besides if you work hard enough Ryan you can come up with a better testimony. And Dan be careful who you claim is following demons because for one thing if you think Rhonda is following a demon then why would you use hatefulness to harshly condemn her. Think about it!
It was not the appearance the writer was implying. But I can tell you are having difficulty in seeing that, Dan. The real problem is preachers standing in front of a bunch of people claiming Christ but deceiving many...hum seems like Jesus told us about that in Matthew 24:4-5.
Your judgement shows no mercy by telling someone they are lost. Apparently people think theology and doctrine make them God.
Dan Rush, every comment you have made is loaded with hate. I am concerned for you when you condemn people here by telling them they are lost. That judgement is for our Heavenly Father alone and certainly not for anyone else. We are ALL subject to His judgement only and no other.
Amen! Amen! Amen!
Jesus loves us, no matter what. His is the only unconditional love. I didn't read or see anything in the book or movie that was contrary to that. I'm sorry some of you didn't get that message.
You didn't read the bible either it seems.
Superb.
Wow. thank you x
Thank you for your truth..
When something great happens I automatically get so scared that it won't last
Dear Paul, I must tell you this: When you introduced God as a big black Mama, I did not have a inner 'Yes'. I had a YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!! May she bless you! Of course she is a he too....
prayers
I believe this man requires the ministry of deliverence. No amount of counselling or repentance alone will evict a single demon. You need to both crucify the flesh AND cast out demons
As emotionally moving and even interesting as this talk is as well as the book he has written, people seem for the most part to overlook one of the most important questions. That question is whether this book was truly inspired by the Spirit of God or if it came from the author's own heart and experience. The book is extremely interesting and conveys deep ideas and communicates deeply to the mind and emotions, there is no doubting that. The problem is that a great number of the Christian community read this as 'inspired material' seeking bedrock comfort and eternal truths therein. That is where the problem lies and NOT with the book itself. This book is a product of the author's life journey, experiences and is deeply effected by his 'father issues', childhood issues, abuse issues, etc. There is no doubt that it can be a comfort, speak to people's hearts and give at least superficial healing. But so can the charms and methods of many other religious and psychological methodologies. There is also no doubt that God can use this book to reach people and speak to people's hearts. He most certainly can. But that is still different from it actually being inspired by God and birthed in the heart of God as many people seem to view it. For example, many people were deeply touched by God, saw spiritual truths and parallels in movies such as Titanic and The Matrix. The Matrix, in fact, deliberately written and formed to convey the principle's of 'Messiah' and other spiritual Christian truths, much like The Shack. But that's just the point. We don't look at these movies or other books as being 'inspired' as in 'God breathed' as the scriptures were. People need to remember that this book is not 'the word of God' and is not inspired as such. There is plenty of the author's own mind and emotions mixed in as well as some deception and darkness. This is why the way many Christians see this book is dangerous. Not for the book itself but for the fact that they view it as just 'so wonderful' and take it as 'entirely from God', which of course it is not.
Mike David that was literally a perfect op-ed on the book. Can I post this response on my facebook?
Of course, go ahead
there are those with eagle legs and there are those with turkey legs. Turkeys condemn flying up in the sky because they believe that is what vultures do. Eagles fly because they are aware of their natural gift; to fly. Turkeys are fine with staying on the ground they are in satans spiritual bondage and have a fear of flying high up there, eagles are not afraid to soar. Are you a condemned turkey?
Danny Lewis: That was a beautifully prosaic and remarkably ridiculous comment in relation to what I wrote, not to mention snide and passively judgemental. My comment was based on words of caution in how one perceives the writings or works of another and was not aimed at any given person, unlike your comment which was directly aimed at me and what kind of person I am based on your 'analogy' with the eagle and turkey. You could have just as well as said, "Mike David, you are wrong. You are in satans spiritual bondage on the ground. The words of The Shack are words of God and to disbelieve them means you are in satans bondage." Of course, that doesn't have quite the 'Christian ring' to it so I can see why the bird story was used. Then again, I do have to thank you for not being rude or using profanities or overt aggressive judgementalism.
+Mike David it helps no one to be aggressive towards aggression, it only builds a fire.
A Christian that thinks that that book is any good is either very new or not a Christian at all , universalism is not Christianity at all , new age is not Christianity at all
How is it not any good? It has helped many people find faith in God, or renewed their faith as well as learn to forgive. It also teaches God's unconditional love for us. If you don't get that message than you do not know God at all.
@@tristatracy9535 Sis, just an honest question to you, do you feel God calls His people to repent of sins, or do you feel we can do anything we want? (When I say sins, I refer to the things listed in 1 Cor 6:9-10 and Gal 5:19-21)
I know nothing can change your mind, but I encourage you to read David Bentley Hart's book "That all shall be saved" and attempt to refute that logic. Not saying it's right or wrong, but to read it and attempt to refute it with what you consider to be correct theology.
yes I am in fact ,living inside of Grace's Way..... I've studied acim, the way of mastery,Christ Letters, A Course in Love,Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira...... Marianne Williamson... My son Dardoe in the beyond, Arch Angel Micheal, Telstar the final elimination of the source of fear by Saratoga, many 12 step programms, sexual healing groups, healing groups of all sorts, My dog Sam as my Mentor,Abraham Hicks etc etc etc the beat goes on,the beat goes on Kay La
the comments are for the most part belaboring the obvious when they state that this is not the God breathed Word. but that particular origin I believe is specific to the Bible, the Christian Bible. But to say that it this work is not inspired by God is foolish and a bit pompous. To say that this work is not inspired by God is foolish and a bit pompous. Are you considering that songs, paintings, poems, and books cannot be inspired by God because they are not the Bible? Really? God inspires people everyday to do great works. if you have any question about that look around you. The hungry are being fed , and the sick are being visited and prayed for and healed, God's work is being done all over the planet by Common People inspired by God and guided by the Holy Spirit. Of course our most important job as Believers in Christ is to spread the gospe,l the good news of Salvation and love that Jesus gave us and gives us. I think what he says about religion should be taken seriously especially by people who consider themselves religious. It was the religious people that Christ found fault with period they could not open their doors because they could not open their minds to those that we're not what they thought proper. Yes wisdom should always be used in anything we read, sing, see or consume for that matter. but don't block out what you don't understand thinking that others do not either. Just sayin...
Thank you
When I was a Calvinist, I hated this book (although I never read it) and considered this man a heretic, but then my life began to completely fall apart. Over a decade later, my ideas have completely changed and I realize that the people who are angry at Paul and The Shack, aren't bad, they're just wrong and they're wrong because they're broken, just like me...
Wow
Yes..
God has no religion. God is unconditional love. That means if you put God in a human box, God won't fit. Listen to the message, if it speaks to you it speaks to you. Who wrote the bible? It was written by human beings through spirit. Stop using religion to spread Fear. There's enough fear in the world. This world needs love not fear. People get too caught up in religious beliefs instead of being the difference this world needs.
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field, I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase each other doesn't make any sense."
-Rumi
If someone is trying to sell you salvation then it's like someone stealing your own wrist watch and then trying to sell it back to you.
God knows everyone's story. People who talk about Jesus don't walk the line. They just talk instead of being the example He came here to set. Religion has perverted His message. "What I can do, you can do."
Have I not said ye are Gods?"
Jesus was a rebel and outcasted by Religious communities because He threatened their power. Remember that.
Our souls are always perfect, it's our minds that need help.
The Shack is vale Pantheism in a Christian book. The book says we are all one with God and that God does not have a wrathful side which guts the gospel of Gods mercy to provide a way to be forgiven in Jesus Christ. The occult new age believe we are all one and that separation from the world is antichrist. Which is upside down from what Jesus teaches about being in the world but not of it. Pantheism teaches that because God is in everything then we are gods. It teaches that the birds are God and the trees are God. And the most important thing of all that is wrong with Pantheism is that if everything of creation is God then it means that God is not separated from sin which makes him a liar in the biblical sense. Run from these people that deconstruct Christianity and teach things contrary to the BIble under the guise that the Bible in not infallible.
I actually pity this heretic Paul Young, although he is misleading people because "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" . (Heb.10:31)
Sell all that you have, take up your cross and follow ME! -Jesus. Then you shall be my true disciples!
Thank God
this book is intended to mislead Christians who are not strong in faith and are not grounded in the word of God and tend more to rely on emotions rather on spiritual knowledge which comes from studying the scriptures and love for Jesus and His truth.
Have you read the book?
How can I get there? How can I be like that?
I have never been sexually abused but I relate a lot to what he said about blaming God and your parents. I've gone through a lot and I attempted suicide when I was eight. I have often wondered where God was when I was going through something painful.
Artistry_ 15. I’m glad you got through it ❤️ keep living, beautiful things are waiting on you

Also John MacArthur has a lot to say about this book.
Boy it’s sad to see how many people lack Discernment . The Shack is beyond demonic and teaches falsely.
😂
Thank you Jesus
A different God, a different Jesus than in the Bible. The Apostle Paul: "If anyone preaches a different gospel than what I have preached to you, let him be anathema (eternally damned.) Satan himself can masquerade as an angel of light, attempting to 'deceive even the Elect."
AMEN !!!!!!! I'm so glad to see someone else has discernment . I just type almost the same response about what Paul said to someone else trying to warn them on another video regarding this movie.
Full of lies that will lead people astray.
Thought God character was Octavia Spencer, not Oprah Winfrey.
Every one of the questions being asked or sought to be answered by this book; the tragedies of life, our position or relationship with God etc. can be fully explained using PROPER exegesis of the Bible and God's true nature. One does not have to skew God's word in the name of literary freedom in order to make God's truths palatable. I'll give you one example, in the book and in the movie Young has his character of God stating that God does not punish sin... that is exactly a lie.. That is heresy to be blunt. From Adam and Eve being cast from the garden in Genesis to Satan, the Beast and the Anti-Christ being cast in the lake of fire in Revelation- God punishes sin. He is not a "fair" God... he is a just God... Our God being a loving God demonstrates his wrath as a response to sin through out the entire Bible. Taking upon Himself the sins of the world, Christ also took upon Himself the wrath of His Father... Love does not mean wrong doing goes unpunished. Love means that the God disciplines those he loves (Hebrews 12:6). You are conflating love as an emotion vs. love as action... Love is a verb... To add... he had the female character "Papa" portraying God- showing Jesus' crucifixion wounds in her hands... God was not crucified- Jesus was. There is a theological danger here in the implication that God Himself was crucified when it was His Son whom He sent... The issue with this begins with the story of Abraham and Isaac- which was a foretelling of what God was going to do with His own Son to save all those who believe. Recall if you will- God told Abraham's to take His only son to the mountain to be sacrificed ... Abraham obeyed and as such was credited for his faith that God would provide- God did provide in that moment and in a future time to come.... This book is heretical!!!.... It is no different than a new age book that teaches self healing in my opinion. If one is going to write a fictional story line that is meant to bring clarity and healing through the lens of scripture.. then its content should hold fast to the truths of scripture.... case in point- John Bunyan did it when he wrote Pilgrim's Progress..
Listen.... the Gospel (Good News) is NOT the Good News... With out the bad news...
The thing that bothers most Christians about this movie is just how true it is. They say there's universalism and "everyone goes to heaven". Er, wrong. Not once does it speak like this or even make this connection. His father beat him and should burn in hell, so, a man, tormented, who gave his life to God and loved God, but still, TORMENTED, HUMAN, was able to go to heaven because he was saved. You mention how God is a man, not a woman. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! So many ignorant people complain about this. So, Mac, who was beat by his father, was loved and taken care of by the neighbor lady. To Mac, this was his mental image of safety. So, when Mac gets to the shack "in his mind due to being in a coma" automatically put in his mind what was considered safe, because God represents love, compassion, safety. To Mac, his neighbor lady was just that. Then, OH NOOOOOOO, GOD BECOMES A MAN FOR A SHORT TIME!!!! OH NOOOOO!!!! Still ignorant people complain about this. Why did this happen? Hmmm. Could it be that DIRECTLY after, directly after forgiving his father and releasing the past anguish and hatred he had for his father, he was able to see God as his father, which was a time for him when he directly needed a Father. You people need to learn about context, subtext, metaphors, and and so much more. You have to realize that this is a man of God and his book is directly from God. You can do better Christians.
Oprah Winfrey in no where in this movie. It's Otavia Spencer. I guess he didn't see the trailer. Lol!!
KajunMs39 this was three years before the movie came out, no way there was a trailer. LOL
we're not all gonna die
🤔
The people who are extremely upset are ones who would lose the money over someone counting of the true love of God. They don't want to believe that something that could bring love into one's heart God is love to bring God into your heart is bad if you don't believe what they do. They don't want you to freely open your heart to God unless it lines their pocket. Or conforms with what they teach or believe. They would rather see people scared worried to death about God because they can't believe the horrendous things that are believed about HIM by the others. They want you to fear God they want you to be a scared into believing a jealous Angry God. When it's obviously clear that anger is an imperfection in man what he does when he loses control of his normal senses and fights.

But nowhere in the Bible does God instruct us to love ourselves.
How much do you think God wants us to love our neighbor? How much did he love his neighbors? "Love thy neighbor as thyself". You can only love your neighbor (God's way) as much as you love yourself.
Yes but he was speaking to the over abundance of love we already have for ourselves. We do not need to be commanded to do that but love more than we already love ourselves.
You are right we are commanded to die to self and crucify the flesh this movie is nothing more than New age crude that people without discernment are falling for left and right . Paul warned us that if anyone comes preaching a different Gospel with a different Jesus we are to turn away from them. I'm glad to see that you have discernment my sister in Christ most people don't have it any more. God Bless
NO!!! I am saddened by your comment and the replies! God does command us to love ourselves. It has been and is still ongoing process for me, but God does command us to love ourselves! I could direct you to the Ten Commandments, but instead, will direct you to Jesus's very own words in Matt. 22:39, "And the second is like it, 'Love your neighbor as yourself''." I cannot overemphasize the importance of these words because I have never been able to love myself. We assume that people who do love themselves are arrogant. But we all know that those who boast of themselves are really just insecure of themselves. Those of us who are humble, suffer in silence, or constantly put ourselves down unknowingly seeking approval of others. But, brothers and sisters, whom I pray will be reading this, and especially for you Anne, please know that God does command us to love ourselves. I learned this from a very young person, who was much wiser than I in years, that if I criticized myself, then I was actually criticizing God Himself... I was criticizing His creation. If I didn't love myself or the person I was created to be, then I was questioning God's design, His plans. Please notice, I said, the person I was created to be...not the person I am. There is a vast difference. As I stated at the beginning of this comment, this has been an ongoing and continues to be an ongoing process for me. No matter what your circumstances, God DOES have a unique plan and purpose for your life. No matter what, just putting your faith in Him, trusting Him, and your faith leading to obedience to Him is all He really desires. Guess what? It really is all about you...you and Him! I know in the circumstances of my life that just getting to know Him, REALLY know Him, is the most important thing to Him. I may not be able to be the "hands and feet of Jesus", but I can love Him and have a real relationship with Him. As the saying goes, Jesus would have still suffered and died if I had been the only person in the world...thus He truly desires a relationship with us as if we WERE the only person in the world. So, yes, Jesus desires us to love Him as He created us and died for us. His death was not in vain. He died and suffered for all humanity and considers us worthy enough to redeem us. Let us NOT mock the love of God because we cannot love ourselves or consider ourselves NOT worthy of our redemption. I have know idea if these words will even be read, but I pray that they will touch the heart(s) of someone somewhere. You are worthy and you are loved, and you ARE created in God's image! To not love yourself is the same as saying you do NOT love the God that created you in HIS image. I hope and pray this means something to someone, who has struggled as I have. May you love yourself as God loves you!
No he doesn't. You are buying into the lie. We already love ourselves...too much as a matter of fact. Every decision we make every day is based on what we want for ourselves unless we consciously choose others over ourselves.
Big shame that HTB gave this credibility.Time to get back to the Bible and the Good news and the Blood which cleanses from all sin.Jesus is the answer !!
I absolutely agree, and an amazed at HTB. I could not get on with the book and felt it was sacriligous.
Except no one is interested in the Bible anymore. You can rattle all you want, but people have moved away from god and the church. If the Shack invites them to form a relationship with God, then God knew what he was doing by making the Shack a massive success, bigger than any other spiritual book.
