Review of the Book of Eli (bELIeve)
Ok, from seeing the trailers and getting a brief idea of what the movie is about, I decided to also read the review a Christian organization puts out, in order to see if it would be worth it to watch.
While I do not agree with all they say, especially whenever they tend to forget the differences between a religion that claims to be Christian and the true one that is Christian, or the decision to be wishy washy and include a group in Christianity that is not Christian for the sake of being PC. Other then that, for the most part their reviews are pretty helpful, especially when listing the number of cuss words, profanity, blaspheming God's word and blaspheming about God. http://www.pluggedin.com/movies/intheaters/bookofeli.aspx
After reading the reveiw I see a few things I do not like. If directors and those with artistic license always claim to "say what they want to" in hollywood films and claim it as artism, then they should have truthfully made the point that Christianity hasn't started wars, catholics have, but not Christians. Hollywood likes to distort things, especially about Christianity and Jesus. Note, those who start religious wars do it to dominate and control people, Christianity never has and never will do that. Next they never should have put the Torah and Koran on the shelf if this movie was about Christianity and it being The book of God. That should be anathama, as it is. They did that to be PC instead of say what they believe and have claimed in the film about the Bible, and Eli's attempts to live by it. Allowing those other books on the shelf with the Complete Bible/Word of God is very troubling as it sends the wrong message among Christians. It's not one god or book among many, it is the only Word of God, from the Only true and Living God.
Also, they claim Denzel Washington is a Christian and co-produced the film, and he reportedly spent a great deal of time massaging dialogue and tinkering with scenes. If that is true, all the above (that should not have been in the film) - it would would have been eliminated. Perhaps he is catholic and not a Christian, and that is why he allowed these blasphemous things to have made it in the movie. There is a 100% difference between Christians and Catholics just as their are between Christians and Mormons or Christians adn JW's. and certianly a 100% difference between Christains and Muslims. None of the above mentioned religions worship the same God nor revear his True Word. Nor do they seek nor obtain salvation in Christ, the Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible. There is only one faith, one baptism, and one way of salvation and forgiveness of sins, through Jesus Christ as revealed in the Protestant Scriptures. The world may not like that, but the truth is the truth nom matter how hard it its to swallow and submit to.
