In making these two films now, what do you see as the future, not just Christianity and most broad set Narrow it down to let's say the evangelical church the more professing biblical church. What you think the future of evangelical churches going forward. In part two of the question is how did these films change you in making them. I think from the very beginning the lie of Satan has always been you will be like God and has God really said this, and both of those questions and the questioning of Scripture and what God has said in Scripture and the belief that we can be little gods, you find that in both the prosperity gospel and in progressive Christianity in the prosperity gospel.

It's this little gods thing were you can control your reality and create health and wealth.

Your dreams can come true in progressive Christianity, you have Richard Rohr's view that everything is Christ.

We all have the divine DNA and were already in Christ.

We don't need to be reconciled to God, whereas the biblical gospel teaches that we are all dead and lost without Christ, and we need Christ to come and rescue us whether the teaching is ignoring matter focusing on other things. They may acknowledge in their beliefs statements on the website and may mention a brief thing at the end of the sermon that gospel isn't the focus in maybe a prosperity gospel church or it's either rejected completely by subtracting away those parts of the gospel. The wrath of God. Hello the atonement. In either case, whether you're adding to the gospel or covering it up or your subtracting from the gospel. You have a different gospel.

So I think false teaching will always be in the church from reading Scripture that there is a great apostasy coming and happening as culture changes to be more and more against Christianity. People are going to pick sides.

If there are nominal Christian there going to probably be honest and give up their faith.

They were Christian to begin with I would say Bart Campolo's case that's what he did. He was honest, you recognize that he didn't really believe any of these doctrines anyway and so why should I continue calling myself a Christian. In the film as well. Bart tells the progressive Christians. Why don't you just come over and help me, it's better that you're honest then for these people to be in the church under the label of Christian and deceiving people just the process of this of making both films is definitely changed me. Even while making it.

I left the church. I had attended for over a decade because I recognize that there was moralistic preaching and the gospel was being assumed and it was more about attracting nonbelievers into our church by making it more seeker sensitive, not wanting to offend people and I got into a more solid church and I just pray that these films can actually wake people up to recognize that may be there in a church that they need to get out of and and find a healthy biblical church that preaches the true gospel and doesn't try to hide it
