The Jesus revolution led to the moon revolution.

I don't think the guy's gayness hurts the film, but the message that if you become religious all your problems disappear does

The film doesn't indicate any of the characters being gay. it was mentioned in the article in the op's link. The second part of my sentence is just my opinion. |

Where does it say that in the film? The film doesn't indicate any of the characters being gay. it was mentioned in the article in the op's link. The second part of my sentence is just my opinion. In Lonnie's biography he talks about his severe abuse as a child and his escape into drugs and partying and (as the film does mention) doing everything and everyone...) - Lonnie was an amazing person with a damaged heart who never considered himself to be gay (his words) but who did escape into all kinds of sexual sin at certain points in his life. The film covers a two-year period and shows what Lonnie was involved in during that time. His more Pentacostal nature and Chuck's more conservative approach were highlighted fairly well in the film and as both of them had been baptized we do see that struggles continue in this life and often even get more heated after a person is saved (baptized or not). There are countless scriptures where God uses flawed people for great things. There are countless examples in scripture where people who are believers have many troubles in this life. We live in a fallen worked with a fallen nature. We are saved by faith alone through Christ and right now we (as believers) go through what is called sanctification- in this life we struggle and have many problems and that keeps our walk with the Lord as the central important thing - We are shaped for eternity and one day when we see Him we will be like Him in eternity. Thankfully we have grace- Grace is undeserved and unmerited favor from God because of only what Christ did for us. No sin is not covered by the finished work of Christ on the cross. We need only repent and follow Him. This is how sinners like Lonnie and Chuck and even me... can be saved and used by the Lord... It has nothing to do with any goodness in us. Cool discussion and great film... |
