Noah Movie
There is a lot of conversation in the entertainment media about the recently released "Noah" movie starring Russell Crowe. I saw a "sneak peak" of a few minutes of footage last fall at the Catalyst Conference in Atlanta and it looked great.
I was then really disappointed to learn not long ago that the fjilm does not portray the Biblical story of Noah at all but is instead a typical liberal Hollywood staple of promoting radical enviromentalism. The studio was in a fight with the producer / director over the edit of the film because the studio is counting on strong support from churches for it to be successful.
I have not seen the film but my pastor went to see it and I received his permission to paste below what he posted about it on FB:
"I watched Noah last night, and felt responsible to say a couple simple things. The movie is well made and "fun" to watch, but it also shows the importance of being biblically knowledgeable if one calls themselves a Christian. There art too many inaccuracies to mention, and if someone goes into this thinking this is a representation of the biblical story, it absolutely is not. After saying that, I didnt run out in horror, I dont hate Russell Crowe or the talented Darren Aronofsky, but it did however put concern in me over the biblical ignorance our generation faces. The main point, be knowledgeable of the text that we claim directs our life day to day."

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
