Angels are only given one chance at following God. They can't repent once they turn from God. In Noah, we see the fallen angels being able to repent and then flying up to heaven afterward. One angel even went as far as killing his rock body so he could get to heaven sooner. I think Noah portrays a lot of what is written in the book of Enoch, which should not be considered part of the bible. But many claim it is.

Obviously if this movie is wrong and evil no "TRUE" Christian should have watched it. Or everyone else thinks that they have the right to judge. First of all it was a terrible movie don't get me wrong....but it's a movie....nothing anywhere says "this is the gospel and how it truly happened" someone got the idea to turn the story into something else...and that's all this movie is...and story.

Why did they have to change ANYthing about the Noah account? If they had actually been thinking outside the box, instead of based on what we know in THIS time & THIS era on earth, I'm sure they could have created a beautiful, very credible film, interesting to both believers and non-believers alike.<br /><br />Like, instead of portraying the world as some kind of desolate, heathen/barbaric place, how about this? It was a BEAUTIFUL, laden with LUSH vegetation & plenty for all... Noah, instead of being some nobody nomad, was probably a very recognized name in his time & throughout the lands. He was probably well-off, had plenty of animals, had lands in his name abound... Why imagine Noah as some sort of Nomadic, Caveman-like individual? That right there, the depiction of Noah & all the other characters in the film, all appearing to be very poor, just-barely-surviving individuals--is a very evolutionist approach. But these were people who lived WAY longer than we do nowadays! They were fresh descendants of Adam and Eve, fresh descendants of the most perfect humans ever CREATED. Why can't a movie be made where we have something like that? Where Noah was ACTUALLY quite intelligent and gifted... I mean, I'm sure if even the stupidest of us could live to be 500 years old, we would end up being smart somehow! And where the world was still relatively peaceful and perfect... Plentiful in ALL things. I think in the Bible it even says that it didn't rain in those days, only dew in the mornings watered the plants & animals of the earth. Why not put something into peoples' minds--that is NOT what we see here on THIS earth? In THIS now? To me that would be FAR more interesting, to see a movie like that, rather than some nomad trying to struggle & survive like some uncivilized rogue on an earth that we of our past several generations have known all too well. Heck, throw some dinosaurs into the world of Noah, because based on creationism (which makes a lot more sense than evolutionism, IMO), the world before Noah was probably WAY different than the world we know now. Why doesn't anyone that makes movies, esp Biblical ones, think in THAT light? To me it would be FAR more interesting than seeing the same ol' regurgitated cr@p we see every single day. Does it not make anyone else wonder?

Here are two refutations to giving a pass to the errors in the Noah Movie because it's 'just a movie'. Go to the link for the rest :) . https://answersingenesis.org/noahs-ark/noah-movie-detailed-review/<br /><br />It’s just a movie, so I’m going for entertainment purposes.<br /><br />We are called to be holy, set apart from this world. Why should a child of God desire to fill his or her mind with ideas that are not in line with God’s Word? In this case, Noah goes far beyond botching a couple of details, it directly and overtly teaches the exact opposite of the Bible in many areas. While Christians have liberty to see a movie like this or not to see it, we also are called by our God to use our time and resources wisely. Further, some believers have suggested that the film is an opportunity for Christians to turn their brains off and just enjoy the movie. This idea is contrary to the commands of Scripture—we are called to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.<br /><br />4. You need to understand that the filmmakers are just using artistic license.<br /><br />We have no problem with artistic license in a Bible-themed movie when it is done properly. In fact, anytime you decide to depict historical events, you will be using artistic license. We understand that. We used artistic license, for example, in portraying Noah at the Creation Museum, and we will be doing the same at the Ark Encounter. We don’t know what Noah looked like, what he wore, how he spoke, etc. The difference is that the filmmakers went beyond artistic license when they overtly contradicted the text in multiple areas and completely changed the character of Noah from being a godly, righteous man into a madman who was bent on making sure every last human being died, even if it meant Noah must slaughter his own grandchildren. See Paramount’s Noah: Artistic License Run Amok for more details on the film’s abuse of artistic license.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-46082974756441239272014-07-06T17:41:27.703-04:002014-07-06T17:41:27.703-04:00I watched the Movie and I thought it was a great m...I watched the Movie and I thought it was a great movie but what you people here need to understand is that it is just a "MOVIE".

He is quoted as saying he wanted the movie to appeal to believers and non-believers alike. So if a Christian decides to see Noah, they should go in knowing it will not be a by-the-book rendering.

Those Christians who have now watched "Noah" have also noted that God is viewed as Nature. "Sin" is redefined as man's reckless disregard of the environment, overpopulation, animal cruelty, weapons-making and mining a substance similar to the oil of our day. <br /><br />As a result, man is deemed unworthy of life. Noah and his family are "somehow" excluded even though they too are human and causing what "logically" would seem to be massive environmental damage in the process of building the Ark. <br /><br />Noah is portrayed as some kind of "Homicidal Maniac" which completely destroyed any remaining chance to communicate this wonderful account as a foreshadowing of God's Grace in His call to repentance and eternal life through Christ Jesus. <br /><br />Overall a pretty thorough hatchet job with God's Truth sacrificed on the altar of "entertainment for the lost". No surprise there, it's the norm in today's emerging mega churches who now teach a Gospel of convenience, relativism and pragmatism.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04024958400003040403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-91051546049205163862014-03-31T14:17:32.131-04:002014-03-31T14:17:32.131-04:00Christopher Li-Reid made a good comment on Google ...Christopher Li-Reid made a good comment on Google Plus.

We should not be surprised when the world acts like the world, as Mr Reid is doing by denying the truth of the bible as God's word.<br /><br /> So what IS the purpose of remarking like I did when movies like Noah come along, or when the world acts like the world in other ways? I thought about it for a while and this was my response:<br /><br />No, that's to be expected. I posted this for 2 reasons.<br /><br />1. as an apologetic for other Christians to use when in discussion with undiscerning Christians who need/want to know exactly what is wrong with it.<br /><br />2. It is an example and an exhortation of 1 Thess 5:21, "Test all things" and especially 1 Thessalonians 1:22, "reject every kind of evil." We don't only privately reject evil.

This movie is a glaring abomination!<br /><br />Ugggh, I also hate the "'Even if it is flawed, let's use it anyway, God can do anything'" mantra. Jesus NEVER uses ERROR to teach the truth. I heartily concur with Sunny Shell. And I am so sick of Christians (especially leaders/pastors/teachers) justifying these error-laden silver screen substitutes in the name of "outreach" or "evangelism".<br /><br />I'd love to see you cover "God's Not Dead" - that movie in my opinion contains the most subtle errors of the three, as it slips in evolutionary compromise, and also relies on human wisdom to prove God's existence, instead of Scripture and the work of the Holy Spirit... the cross of Christ is emptied of its power by human wisdom (1 Cor 1:17).<br /><br />When will Christians ever learn that Hollywood is no friend of the Savior? Christians flock to these distorted movies, allowing themselves to be emotionally carried away by a bunch of malarkey. Worse yet, taking along "unchurched" (a word I detest) Uncle Jim, because they think he will get saved from watching a film containing compromise, rather than from hearing the actual Biblical Gospel...<br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
