Coach Carter - Good Quote/Bad Theology...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
When one first hears this quote it sounds good, deep, impressive...some might even recognize it from Nelson Mandela's 1994 inaugural speech but make no mistake about it, this quote comes from Marianne Williamson, a new-age lecturer/author.
"Come on, Relax will you! It's just a movie!", some of you might say. Yes, but it's sad how much satanic pollution you can find when you simply go to enjoy a movie.
It's very clear that this movie was an "MTV production". Loud music, sexual scenes galore, that "just do it if it feels good" sense and there's even a pro-abortion scene.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed parts of the movie and the OVERALL message, but saddened to see all the garbage mixed in.
More about the quote above...Make no mistake about it-Not everyone is a child of God. Only those who accept Christ as their Saviour. Let me quote Jesus Himself for you:
"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!" (John 8:44)
What is the "Truth" you ask?! Well let me quote Jesus again who said,
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Marianne Williamson!!!
