The shack and 'lies' we believe about God

[Nessa]

Well, well, well....

Like Rob Bell, William Paul Young skirted around universalism.... And now he's finally admitting it...it's a Oprah Winfrey moment.. 'You're saved, you're saved... Everybody's saved!'

Apparently sin doesn't seperate us from God....yep, try telling that to the guy who steadied the ark. God is holy....

I read The Shack when I wasn't a very strong Christian, but it still didn't sit well with me, just an uneasy feeling, rather than a big reaction.

Looking back, I still have it on my shelf, it is a shocker to be honest, it tugs at the heart strings and brings about huge emotion but at it's core it is non-Biblical. It does not represent true Christianity.

Yep, the Oprah religion is all about feeding your own narcissism while going about espousing some feel-good nonsense and beliefs, that sucks people in, just as Stu says, "tugs at the heart strings and brings about huge emotion but at it's core it is non-Biblical. It does not represent true Christianity." When people are yearning for something and know that something spiritual is missing in their lives, they're still easily deceived - usually because they only want what they think will make them happy in the moment and that doesn't require any change in their heart, mind, commitment, or actions (as in truly turning to the Lord).
