Well, I posted an article about what terrible theology “Heaven Is For Real” presents, but I didn’t know it was T.D. Jakes who produced the movie version. When you have a heretic producing a “Christian” movie, this is what you get.
About women in church, Willow Creek, one of the original market-driven/seeker-sensitive organizations (I hesitate to call them a church), also gets it wrong! [link gone by 10/17/20] This isn’t really surprising, since they leaned on the egalitarian side for women’s roles for decades.
I just love it when someone points out another problem with Joseph Smith’s theology.

I grant that game church is ... odd. But having gone through the site, I found nothing heretical in it.
Care to enlighten where the apostasy and/or heresy is?
Hi Glenn,
Willow Creek, figures. If only our former pastor could see the problems with BH and Willow Creek. He was eagerly following the Willow Creek paradigm.
Like you, we also hesitate to call WC a church, because those seeker/market philosophy organizations really aren't following what the New Testament says about church. At all.
RW - no shock there. And yet so many blind believers think he's the "real deal".
The RC obsession with dead people and/or dead people's relics is rather disgusting.
Liberty fined the students who refused to hear Beck? Wow, that's awful! What, the fact that Beck isn't a genuine born again believer and that his false belief system wasn't challenged, isn't that "a suitable excuse for not attending"?!
Go Ken Ham! Robertson is a fraud.
Churches hear so little of the Bible, because they are too busy being purpose driven and entertained.

I think turning the Christian faith and church into a game is apostate. It shows no respect, no reverence for the sacred.
But that's just my opinion.
Glenn,
I read that site, checked on a lot of the links, read a lot of the articles. From what I saw, it didn't turn the Christian faith into a game. It actually did the opposite; it examined video games and video game culture through the lens of Christianity, something that is sorely lacking today.
Off-topic fun fact: you are in good company about not turning the Christian faith into a game or a game prop; Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons refused to include Christianity into the game for that very reason.
072591,
You obviously spent more time looking around than I did! What little I looked at, after the link was sent by a young college kid who didn't like it, gave me the opposite impression you got.
Just the name "game church" was bothersome enough for me, so I didn't spend much time looking around.
