I\u2019m not going to write a review or detailed critique of William P. Young\u2019s book or movie both entitled \u201cThe Shack.\u201d The reason is because there are already a number of good reviews available. You can access plenty of information on LightHouse Trails Research. What I will do is present a warning.<\/p>\n

First, I want to point out that there are some heresies and deceptions that one should not need a review to recognize and reject. The televangelist selling God\u2019s favor, which increases with the size of the donation, is one. Another one is a preacher smoking pot or getting drunk on video while claiming that it is the way to get closer to God. One more is the preacher that declares that God has entrusted only him with new revelation essential to understanding the Bible. Likewise, does anyone really need to inform a true Christian about what is wrong with \u201cThe Shack\u201d?<\/p>\n

Now for the warning. God\u2019s word declares that the end times will be very dangerous for Christians. There will be many spiritually wicked individuals masquerading as servants of God. They will present heresies and other lies for the purpose of deceiving God\u2019s people. However, some professing Christians declare that it is impossible for Christians to be deceived and apostatize. If that is true, then who is Satan deceiving and who is apostatizing? The lost are already deceived and cannot apostatize from faith that they do not have.<\/p>\n

Obviously, the deception has to be very clever. If it were disguised as an orange, it would appear exactly as a genuine orange. Therefore, we can expect lies disguised exactly as truth. However, if people accept enough false oranges loaded with a mind-numbing drug, it stands to reason that false oranges will no longer be needed. Then whatever is being disguised by the falseness will be offered without pretense.<\/p>\n

Leading Christians accepted and promoted movies such as the \u201cSon of God\u201d and \u201cNoah\u201d. Now professing Christians are accepting \u201cSilence\u201d and \u201cThe Shack\u201d, movies, which are more obviously wicked. Does anyone want to know what is coming next that professing Christians might support?<\/p>\n

William Paul Young, author of \u201cThe Shack\u201d, wrote another book, \u201cEve.\u201d Young explains about his book:<\/p>\n

\u201cAs The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any warning bells going off yet? If one is deceived by \u201cThe Shack\u201d one is probably unaware of the diabolical boasts in Young\u2019s explanation. Remember, this is not the author of a timeless Christian classic, but the author of a heretical book that blasphemes the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

What is it that Young intended to set us free from with \u201cEve\u201d? Here are a few links in the chain of our \u201cbondage.\u201d<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The story of Creation is replaced by the Big Bang.<\/li>\n
  2. Adam was an infant nursed by the breasts of God.<\/li>\n
  3. Adam was a sinner before Eve was created.<\/li>\n
  4. Adam became pregnant and gave birth to Eve.<\/li>\n
  5. Adam and Satan conspired to deceive Eve.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But it gets even worse. Young has a new book entitled, \u201cLies We Believe About God.\u201d Here are some of what Young calls lies about God.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u201cGod wants to use me.\u201d<\/li>\n
    2. \u201cGod is in control.\u201d<\/li>\n
    3. \u201cGod is a prude.\u201d<\/li>\n
    4. \u201cGod does not submit.\u201d<\/li>\n
    5. \u201cHell is separation from God.\u201d<\/li>\n
    6. \u201cSin separates us from God.\u201d<\/li>\n
    7. \u201cGod is disappointed in me.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If professing Christians accept the blatancy of that satanic deception, their fate is sealed. When one of these books also becomes a movie, professing Christians will fawn all over them and declare that anyone that opposes them is ignorant or just plain mean-spirited.<\/p>\n

      The false orange is no longer needed. Professing Christians are significantly deceived by number and intensity to consume the raw lies.<\/p>\n

      However, the subsequent deception does not stop with convincing them to believe the lies. Additionally, they believe that the fact they can so easily line up for the feast is not proof of deception. Instead, they consider it to be evidence that they are superior in spirituality and knowledge to the ones who refrain.\u00a0\u00a0 Tragically, those feasting masses can be warned, but they are unable to receive the warnings.<\/p>\n
