A new 2014 religious film titled, “GOD'S NOT DEAD” is infiltrating the churches...
God's Not Dead is a 2014 American Christian drama film directed by Harold Cronk, and stars Kevin Sorbo, Shane Harper, David A. R. White and Dean Cain. The film was released to theaters on March 21, 2014, by Pure Flix Entertainment. The film follows an evangelical Christian college student (Shane Harper) whose faith is challenged by a philosophy professor who declares God a pre-scientific fiction.

Hundreds of religious films have been produced over the past several years, nearly all of which teach a woeful false plan of salvation. The GOD'S NOT DEAD film horribly butchers the Word of God, promoting a false plan of salvation that cannot produce the new birth.

I was reading an article[1] online about how religious films influence an estimated 200,000,000 Americans, including unsaved Jews and Mormons. In my opinion that's why the film's writer(s) are intentionally vague concerning the Gospel, as to avoid offending any particular religious group. Sadly, it appears that the film's producers are more interested in making lots of money than they are getting people saved. There is nothing in the movie “GOD'S NOT DEAD” that would offend an unsaved Jehovah's Witness, Mormon, Seventh-Day Adventist, Roman Catholic, Lutheran or other demonic religion. The vague teaching of accepting Jesus is a false plan of salvation, because that is not the Gospel as taught in the Holy Bible. The Biblical plan of salvation excludes all forms of self-righteousness and human effort. Every Catholic believes in accepting Jesus, and they are all going straight to Hell to burn!!!
'God's Not Dead' Film Fails to Mentions Christ is Risen!
Ironically, the name of the religious movie is “GOD'S NOT DEAD,” yet the film fails to mention Christ's bodily resurrection from the dead. Do the film's writer(s), actors, director and producer believe that Jesus is alive? Is God alive but Jesus dead? The film does contain one actor (a student) professing that JESUS IS GOD! That's true and good! But it strikes me as odd that a religious film which aims to promote the truth that GOD'S NOT DEAD, would fail to promote the Biblical truth that Christ's tomb is empty, because JESUS IS RISEN!!! Not one mention of Christ's resurrection is made in the film. Why not??? My friend, JESUS IS NOT DEAD, and He has RISEN BODILY from the grave and then He BODILY ASCENDED into the clouds for His disciples to witness (Acts 1:9-11).
Please read, What Is The Gospel? (an excellent sermon by Dr. Harry Ironside; few churchgoers get it right!). Few religious people (I dare not call them Christians) get the plan of salvation correct. Today's religious radio stations are absolutely saturated with theological garbage and nonsense. I heard Evangelist David Platt the other night pleaded emotionally for listeners to get saved, but all he kept saying was to merely trust Jesus. My friend, even the devil's believe, but tremble in fear (James 2:19). You cannot get to Heaven by just trusting Jesus. You must believe that Christ died on THE CROSS for YOUR SINS, and that He was BURIED (officiating His death), and that Christ bodily RESURRECTED on the third day from the dead. This is the Gospel and you cannot be saved without it. No one can be saved who denies Christ's bodily resurrection from the dead.
You Can Trust Jesus and Still Go Straight to Hell
No one can be saved who trusts in Jesus, but does not believe that Jesus suffered, bled and died on the cross for their own sins. No one ever got saved who didn't know that he or she is a guilty sinner in God's eyes!!! In the film, James A. R. White never asks the dying atheist man if he knows that he is a sinner. That is a critical error. White says in the film that God is willing to forgive the man of his sins, but the question is never asked, “Do you know that you are a sinner?” You'd be surprised how many people DON'T think they are a sinner. The nation of France years ago published a statement that they were not sinners; but rather, merely had some imperfections. Well, the French are all filthy, rotten, guilty, hell-deserving, SINNERS, according to God (Romans 3:23).
