'NOAH' CONTROVERSY: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MOVIE
Exclusive: Lisa Cherry asks Christians, 'Shouldn't we be building an ark?'Sometimes it seems easier to continue arguing about surface issues than to deal with the root of our problems. That's what has happened with the controversy over the "Noah" movie.
Seriously. Some of the most outlandish discussions concerning the details of the plot of “Noah” underscore the fact that, as a nation, our basic understanding of the Bible is lacking. Take the rock monsters that have been inserted into the Hollywood version of this story. In the movie, it is suggested that they are angels. Others propose that these creepy monsters represent the giants mentioned in the Genesis account of Noah. A recent poll revealed that 30 percent of millennials think Noah was married to Joan of Arc! How can we imagine that the average American adult or teen could accurately sort fact from fiction in a “Bible-inspired” big-screen production?
