Must See Movie...

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Its sad they put stuff out like this. It's not entertaining it's a seed for confusion. I pray against the influence of this movie both on believers and unbelievers that have lack of understanding when it comes to the truth of the gospel and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Bible is right and all that hasn't accepted the gift of redemption to establish righteous relationship with the holy, true and living God, through Jesus Christ who came, died, and rose again with victory over death, hell, and sin.

Yes you've got it, I don't believe in any of it. But the film was a decent portrayal of someone who does, but then asks questions of their own belief, that's true enlightenment. As Voltaire very cleverly put it, " if God didn't exist, man would have to create him ". Make no mistake there has to be a creative power, I just happen to be one of those who thinks we don't and never have been able to comprehend it. All of human history has had a Heaven, be it Valhalla or Nirvana, basically a fear of mortality. Hell in the modern sense was a late arrival, if you crossed the river Styx, it was just the dead underworld. Hell and demons take centre stage with the advent of Christianity or specifically Catholicism. All pagan gods now become the hierarchy of demonology. All heretics are doomed to hell, salvation must be sought or bought. Christ threw out money lenders, so Christians could be millionaires. If I lie, strike me down now, Aaaaarrrrrgghh.

This is a biopic film that tells the story of a Pentecostal preacher who came to the conclusion that all humans and their sins are atoned for by the Cross of Christ, regardless of whether one has a relationship with Christ or not.The film displays good acting and production value, but the script only skims the surface of the internal and intellectual shift Pearson embraced that took him into heresy and heterodoxy. As a Pentecostal and Evangelical, he believed in Calvin's doctrines of Total Depravity and Penal Substitution Atonement. Pearson finally admitted these doctrines make God look like a monster and threw them out. He reached for an extravagant love beyond what humans are capable of and concluded that God loves the world so much that he would not send people to hell, having previously concluded that God does send people to hell - as Pearson is depicted in this film, if not in reality. However, he consulted on the film.Pearson and his detractors also assume to have the authority to interpret Scripture and are obsessed with "knowing" whether every person goes to heaven or hell after death. These assumptions go unchallenged in the script, but along with Calvanist doctrines are the underlying causes of the whole story.The film is thought-provoking and worth watching. It displays the biggest problems with Protestant fundamentalism from the inside, but could have done so much better.

Evangelist Carlton Pearson is ostracized by his church for preaching that there is no Hell. Despite good efforts from it's talented lead and cast in general Come Sunday (2018) goes into the same old dramatic territory that most of those films have in common and the end result was very disappointing with wooden characters and even more wooden perfomances. Overall a big disappointment of a dramatic driven movie that even despite the good cast it can't overcome it's bad script and direction i'm afraid. (0/10)
