The meme severely distorts what The Shack portrays and makes some claims that I didn't really see myself in either the book or the movie. It would appear that those most offended, and thereby looking for reasons to discredit it, are the same people that have based their life, politics, and religion around a very distorted view of God. To even consider changing one's mind about how God is perceived seems to undermine the mechanisms that many people's entire lives have been based around. It's more comfortable to just continue forward with the status quo and discredit anything that challenges a belief system than to really ask ourselves the hard questions works like The Shack may present.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772545518150644182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-90638841201427503752017-03-02T14:06:27.541-08:002017-03-02T14:06:27.541-08:00I don't think everything in the book is "...I don't think everything in the book is "accurate." By the same token, it addresses issues for which getting it right is above our pay grade, frankly. Ultimately, my brief summary is that it is a profound theological treatise wrapped up in a story. In that sense, it's thoroughly postmodern, with both the good and the bad that that implies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9926207.post-4489295074195580182017-02-24T21:33:45.335-08:002017-02-24T21:33:45.335-08:00Please note: As I say right off the bat, this is N...Please note: As I say right off the bat, this is NOT a review of the book, or the film.

The list comes from an old sermon a guy called Michael Youssef did that went viral a few years back. I wrote a little piece this week as well on the book, confirming which ideas are actually in the book and which it is falsely accused of.

I love the book and question where you got the list of "heresies", because I'm not sure I saw some of them in the book, and like you, I agree with some of the others, but even they are worded differently in the book than they are on that image. Here is a blog post from the publisher about the questions of heresy in the Shack. https://www.lifestream.org/is-the-shack-heresy/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737754547136008611noreply@blogger.com
