Tom Hanks - Supporters of Prop 8 Un-American

“The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen,” he told Tarts. “There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here's what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who's responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.”

Seems Hanks encourages faith in everything ... EXCEPT God's Word.

  1. It seems to me Hanks is being judgmental and intolerant!

    It is clear that being judgmental and intolerant is O.K. from the politically correct crowd, but not O.K. from those who oppose them.

  2. Strange (sort of). A few years ago, I recall reading an interview with Hanks in which he claimed to be a born-again Christian. I wondered how he could star in a movie like the Da Vinci Code, which is based on an heretical premise.....but there you go.

  3. It's interesting that you consider his support of human rights as evidence he isn't "born again."

  4. Wow Skeptimal: Are you supporting the theology of the new birth? What exactly is that?

    Can you defend the position that gay marriage is a "human right"? What are human rights? Are they absolute or are they subjective?

    It's not Hanks support of "human rights" (whatever those are) that is the evidence that he isn't "born again" It is his rejection of God's Word that is the evidence.

Eckhart Tolle - Christian Response

Unbelievable! ...The extent man not founded upon Christ will go and follow in their quest and pursuit of self and attempts to explain away reality and sin. Here's Oprah's spiritual sage... Response: 1. He resurrects errors of the past which deny reality by seeking to replace it with forms. 2. By reducing the past to forms (or photo albums) he not only denies the reality of the past but the extent of it's connectedness and relationship to the present. This error he also translates in regard to the future. 3. He establishes a false premise that one can separate the reality of the present ("now") from reality itself, which he vests in onesself (though he inconsistently goes on to suggest that life is found in abandoning oneself) 4. He has no grounds or basis for assuming reality is found in self (and apart from everything else, or only what one want's to allow) 5. By denying the truth of God, he falsely asserts that the future is no longer problematic...

Eckhart Tolle Christianity (Understanding Eckhart Tolle - Comparison / Difference with Christianity)

I believe it important that both believers and unbelievers understand the difference between the teaching of Eckhart Tolle and Christianity. Here's a brief post to introduce you to a few of the significant differences. (Note, I've just been exposed to Tolle, but it doesn't seem to take long to discern the differences) Context (the problem)Taken from here .: Despite Oprah and Eckhart's reduction of Christianity to but one "way" amongst many other equally legitimate ways to God, and their calling Christ a "revolutionary" who has been misunderstood by the Church, and who simply came to manifest "Christ-consciousness", a quick search through the internet reveals that many Christians are following Oprah in attempting to fuse together the teachings of Eckhart, and the doctrines of the historical Christian church. Great website to gain quick summary of Eckhart's beliefs/teachings: Ripples on the Surface of Being Key Responses by Eckhart To...

The Divine Eternal Covenant: A Systematic Theology of Redemption, Judgment, and Glory

Preamble: On the Need for Theological Clarity The relationship between divine sovereignty and human responsibility has long stood as one of Christianity's most contentious and misunderstood doctrinal territories. For centuries, theological traditions have wrestled with seemingly irreconcilable tensions: How can God be sovereign over salvation while humans remain genuinely responsible? Why does a good God permit evil and suffering? How can divine election coexist with meaningful human choice? What is the ultimate purpose behind the drama of fall and redemption? These questions have generated countless volumes of systematic theology, yet the proposed solutions often either compromise divine sovereignty to preserve human responsibility or sacrifice human accountability to maintain God's absolute control. The result has been a theological landscape marked by entrenched positions, artificial distinctions, and frameworks that frequently raise more questions than they resolve. My moti...
