METAPHORS
OF IMPRISONMENT
Subject: Last_Castle
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001
From: TAOR
I appreciated the
insights offered by your review. This story is reminiscent of other great
prison tales, notably Malamud's "The Fixer" and Solzhenitsyn's "One Day
in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch," in which the unjust suffering of a good
man points to the hope of redemption. I agree also with your comment about
sin as imprisonment. One is reminded of Paul's statement to the Galations:
"Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up
until faith should be revealed."

From: Danny
Thank you for so much
informative stuff. I really enjoy your newsletter. Keep up the great work.
I'm really getting tired of people trying to use the 9/11 attack on America
as an excuse to vent their own particular fears, prejudices, despair and
angst. A sick and twisted man with a distored view of reality, a man with
nothing better to spend his billions on than the destruction of a free
nation--that's the issue. Not God, not judgment, not the ACLU (although
they are anything but American), not the pornographers and every other
slime that permeate our society, but a man on the level with Adolph Hitler;
pure evil. Simple, isn't it.

We should be focusing
on the Love of God and Trusting Him to care for us Jeramiah 29:11-13 kind
of sums it up,We are in God thoughts and he is here to give us a future
and a hope.We need to be brought out fundamental bondage and into The
Love Of God. God speaking to John to the Christians said in John 3:16
If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us fro all unrighteousness. To the fundamentalists I say
what the next scripture says, remember now all-though this is often used
as a soul winning scripture. If we say we haved not sinned we make Him
a liar(Jesus) and His word is not in us. My God The Father of all is a
God of Love and Grace and Compassion and He is Sovereign and another thing
it says in the word"Perfect Love casteth out all fear" Who is perfect
Love but our God..

JOHN
3:16 AND "DOOMSDAYERS"
Subject: Newsletter_29
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001
From: "Chris Weigel"
Some thoughts, First,
I enjoy the newsletter, by and large. With respect to the revisiting of
Jn 3:16 and the "doomsdayers": I don't tend to listen to them much, lots
of heat and little light. But with regard to the judgment of God on our
nation, don't dismiss the concept out of hand. Remember that God's people
in the Old Testament were continually judged by God and he didn't hesitate
to use His and their enemies as the chastening tool. They too could be
heard saying "God can't possibly be using His enemies to judge us." How
wrong they were. Is the WTC bombing a direct judgment of God on us for
our abandoning certain values? Probably not. Does God allow and use all
for His purposes? Absolutely. Last thought: while attempts at humor are
good, don't lower yourself to taking cheap shops at brothers in Christ
by name calling...Jerry Falafel...please. It's neither constructive nor
Christlike.
Take the high road.
Chris Weigel
Response:
"Falafel" was an unintended error. The spell checker changed
it and I was not paying close attention. You will note that that error
does not appear above. I agree that name calling is not a Christ like
thing to do. Beyond this, there is no way that God is involved in the
slaughter of those precious and innocent people in the WTC. God has better
ways of getting our attention. America is a great nation. -David
MY
THOUGHTS
Subject: Newsletter_29 Revising John 3:16
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001 23:08:56 EST
From: John Paul Landry
Dear Mr. Bruce,
My thought on the subject is as follows. I simply agree. I was insulted
by the thoughts of the 900 or 700 or 1100 club. Whatever it is. I was
also questioned to the point of being verbally abused at my own church
by a generation younger than myself. I brought an article from the religion
section of my newspaper to church to see if my sunday school class agreed
or disagreed. They unanimously agreed. The title of the article was "Jesus
taught his disciples to undermind violence." The article from the Dallas
Morning New in Texas, discussed what Jesus' thoughts from the bible were
of violence. It was fascinating. Are we not Christians? Jesus' message
was "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass againsts
us." I also would like to voice that I heavily disagreed with the U.S
bombing Afghanistan on World Communion Day in the United Methodist Church.
I being Methodist know that communion was being shared world wide with
fellow christians and found it hard to believe that we could attack another
country on the Lords day. I hope my thoughts don't arouse too much hatred.
I just want to encourage you to keep writing your opinions cause there
are people who will agree with you. I mean the Jesus I know would!!
Blessings In Christ

SEE
WE TOLD YOU SO
Subject: Newsletter_29_God_Is_Judging
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001
From: Tillie S
I don't know if God
is judging America per se, but I do know that God used pagan nations to
punish His children in the Old Testament, and that we are warned that
what is written in the Old Testament is written for our warning. There
have been plenty of Christians afraid of God's judgment on America if
we don't repent, and have quoted 2 Chronicles 7:14 as the basis for their
fear. So when this happened, it follows that they would say, "See?? We
told you so."
Tillie S
Response:
Isn't 1 Chronicles 7:14 asking the people of God to repent? It has little
to do with "non-believers" in America. "Judgement begins
in the house of the Lord" -not at the World Trade Center. Again Jesus
said, "God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely
to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came
to help, to put the world right again." -David.
THE
NAYSAYERS AND HOW THEIR WORDS HURT GOD
Subject: Newsletter_29 Revising John 3:16
Date: Tue, 6 Nov 2001
From: Wilson Kriston
Hi David,
It is a long time since I have written. I read your recent newsletter
with the utmost interest and I do believe that God is not judging America.
I do heard some people
say that if God do not judge America, He should also apologise to Sodom
and Gomorrah. This goes to show how shallow is their understanding of
God's love for this world.
I also agree with
you the extent of God's love for this world so much so that He gave His
one and only, precious and priceless Son to us sinners as evidently pointed
out in John 3:16. Another way to see God's love is how we should see the
old testament's account on the destruction of Sodom.
As we read through
the Bible, God promised Abraham that He will spare the city if there's
at least 10 righteous men in the city. TEN righteous men out of the potential
thousands of inhibitants and less than 1% of the whole city population!
God is so gracious
to the people of Sodom then, why should He be different now? Of course,
the city is so wicked that only Lot was found to be righteous with God
and so is his family. Even then, angels are sent to rescue them before
the impending judgement.
Brother David, I sincerely
believe that there are much more 'righteous' brothers and sisters in Christ
in New York than in Sodom. And I will believe without regrets that God
will keep all of us in safety during this period of great shaking.
And I would also appeal
to those fellow Christians who speaks without thinking about God's goodness.
Have they heard about the rescue efforts of Angels? I read some, heard
some and even seen the interview of some on TV. If God is truly judging
America would He sent His angels to do all these? And what kind of God
do we have if He decided to punish and yet rescue us?
I believe that the
judgement has not yet come. If God wants to judge, it will be much much
more horrific than this (please read revelation) and there would not be
a New York City standing if this is so. It is our Blessed Hope that we
shall see God's face before His impending judgement on the world and not
just a city of the world.
My last comment to
Christians who misunderstood God. Give a thought to those Christians who
lost their loved ones, are they blaming God? Is it fair? I don't think
so because it is not God who execute this because I know God is fair and
loving. Only someone who do not know God will blame God for all these.
And i sincerely feel that Osama is wrong about his works for his god and
it is clearly not the god of Koran nor the Good Book.
In His Grace and Mercy Everyday

CHRISTIANS
HURT THE CAUSE OF CHRIST
Subject: Newsletter_29_Feedup_with_Dooms_Day_Predictions
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001
From: BKilmer
Dear David, I agree
with what you said:
"There
are two ways to look at pop culture and current events. 1. While aware
of evil and its consequences, keeping the focus for what is noble and
good (Phil 4:8). -This is the approach I use in HJ.. 2. Disregarding
the positive aspects and ever focusing on what's evil and wrong. -This
latter approach has possessed the Evangelical Fundamentalist Christian
community by and large -I am very sorrowful about this, because I consider
myself an Evangelical -although I, with Billy Graham, do not consider
myself a Christian Fundamentalist."
I believe as as Christians
we should expect the world to have much evil.
We should rejoice
over the good that is evident in the world, and know that if we could
trace back to the source of any good, it would be God.
Like Jesus, we should
not force our morals nor our Christianity on anyone. Thanks for your insights.

So are you saying America is cursed? Are you putting Deut 28:15-68 in

Subject: Newsletter_29
Date: Mon, 5 Nov 2001
From: Mark
David, just how is
God, according to the Bible, going to "put the world right again" ? Destruction
of this earth is inevitable. Many of the "good people of New York" will
not be saved from this destruction. Yes God loves the world, but he does
hate the condition it is now in. Having said this, I can agree with you
on some of your points. I do feel ; however, that your position toward
people who are not Christians is more destructive than finger pointing.
People need to hear the good news of the Cross. But they need to hear
it in truth. They have to believe in the current condition of man in order
to believe in the truth that the Cross brings. What good does it do a
person to go through life believing that being "a good person" is enough
to save them? The Bible is very clear that no one is good without Christ.
Christians should not use the tragedy of 9-11 to pronounce God's wrath
on America. This is wrong and it harms the body of Christ. Love is the
message that Christians should bring to the world. But love without truth
us not love.

LITTLE CONNECTION
Subject: Josie_and_the_Pussycats
Date: Sun, 04 Nov 2001
From: Christian Ziebarth
Dear David, It was
mentioned on the DVD commentary that the makers of the movie did not get
paid for any of the product placement in the movie. True, they may have
got permission but they did not get money (if they didn't even get permission
I certainly never heard of any lawsuits against them). There is a difference.
They thought people would understand the joke of product placement run
amok by taking the joke obviously too far but the joke was misunderstood.
Additionally, the product placement was rather overt and not very subliminal
at all.
While I am a Josie
and the Pussycats fan Christ is infinitely more important to me, but I
don't see conspiracy where there is none.
By the way, I noticed
you can make money through Amazon's Associate program when people click
on the link on your site to purchase Josie products. Right now I feel
strangely compelled to go buy the "Chile Today, Hot Tamale" video. I already
own the "Melody Memory Mix-up" one.
Sincerely, Christian Ziebarth

From: "Don Dawson"
Just saw this movie
last night, and I was very impressed. Probably the most important message
the movie gives comes at the end: don't be afraid to ask for help when
you need it. Everyone in the movie is too hung up on trying to do things
on their own, and their relationships all suffer as a result. Only when
they reach out to one another for help do they find healing for those
relationships.

THE
1998 GODZILLA
Subject: Godzilla_98
Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2001
From: Guy Mariner Tucker
Well, Mr. Bruce,
try as you might to find "chaos monster" parallels in this dismal film,
you did have to admit they're unintentional. As for your son's comments
about Toho, he may not know the half of it: Toho is historically a greedy,
unprincipled and corrupt organization, which cares far more about money
than product; examples of this are far too numerous to name. They charged
Tri-Star upwards of $10 million a year simply to lease the character,
and never seemed to understand that the American movie process is usually
(if not usefully) slower. I'm sure they greenlighted the final American
version because they smelled even more money in the air, and were tired
of waiting for it, and indeed, although the picture will almost universally
be remembered as a failure, it WAS an international hit. But reactions
in Japan were so negative that Toho rescinded its earlier promise not
to make any more of their own Godzilla pictures, and at least in this
regard, we are fortunate, as even the dullest scenes in GODZILLA MILLENNIUM
are preferable to any given second in GODZILLA 1998. GODZILLA VS. MEGAGUIRAS
is supposed to be even better, and advance buzz on GOJIRA DAIKAIJU SOKOGEKI,
which premiered at the Tokyo Film Festival in October 2001, is phenomenal.
Toho's usurous licensing
fees also led to the premature demise of the successful American comic
books based on the character (the first issued by Marvel in the 70s, the
second bunch from Dark Horse in the 1980s and 1990s). For that matter,
their bizarre business practices also contributed to the scuttling of
potentially mutually lucrative partnerships with major Hollywood studios
such as Columbia, Warner Bros. and Universal; by the mid-60s, only American-International,
UPA and even less principled, fly-by-night organizations like Brenco and
Bob Conn Enterprises were willing to entertain their nonsense at all.
I've dealt with Toho myself, at many different levels, and know whereof
I speak. Even their own career company men are fond of deriding their
practices, although some will point out that some other Japanese studios
are even worse, but I'm not sure whether that's not just reflexive pride
in the home they decided to choose.
A much better, though
not terrific, script had been written before Devlin and Emmerich got their
paws on the project, by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio of ALADDIN fame.
That one nearly went ahead under director Jan DeBont, but the plug was
pulled by Tri-Star at the very last second, because Tri-Star determined
it would have cost too much. Ironically, all the money spent preparing
that film, and on Toho's licensing fees, was simply lost; and the final
Devlin/Emmerich version was at least as expensive as DeBont's would have
been. (Elliott and Rossio wanted to have Godzilla fight his old enemy
Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster, but had to change it to a more generic
monster character of their own devising, because Toho wanted even more
money to authorize the use of Ghidrah. Same reason the other Toho characters
never appeared in the US comics or cartoon series.)

THE

From: Guy Mariner Tucker
This reply is more
than a year after the question, but maybe I have an answer. POWDER didn't
have a theme song as such, only a score by the superlative Jerry Goldsmith.
However, his theme was later turned into a song, "No One Like You," with
lyrics by his MULAN collaborator David Zippel, and was performed by Sarah
Brightman on her CD "Timeless." I hope that is helpful.

COMMENT
Subject: K-Pax
Date: Fri, 02 Nov 2001
From: Sue Ferguson
I missed the emphasis
on the teachings of Jesus. There was one mention of Him, that those on
earth had failed to understand the teachings of Jesus and Buddha. Scripture
was background noise, endless repetition of mental patients. The message
of the film was that the earth is constantly expanding and then falling
back in on itself. There is no meaning, except what we give out lives.
For me, this was the philosophical framework of the film. There is much
that did not add up. The film was definitely interesting, with good acting
by Bridges and Spacey. But philosophically, it was a rip off.

I saw this film not

sinner, were born that, and will remain so until we come to a knowledge
of Christ. It is when we are in our sinful nature that we are the "wolf."
After coming to Christ, we don't lose knowledge of past sins, we take
that knowledge and use it to help other who are where we once were.

David, I love your

as you get the chance. This is my favorite movie so far this year (with
Momento in close second). Check out wakinglife.com for Roger Ebert's interview
with the director Richard Linklater. This movie will leave you speechless
and wanting to see it again. With no real plot it is a mishmosh of discussions
and thoughts on philosophy and the dream world. Watching it gives you
this feeling that you are intruding on someone else's dream. It was as
if I had visited the most amazing art museum dragging my feet the whole
way wanting to soak it all in. The coolest part "spiritually speaking"
is a segment that is titled "Holy Moment".Go see it. If you don't like
it, I am truly sorry for you my friend (just kidding).

Subject: Newsletter_27-Kinkade
Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001
From: Ken in Lowell
Dear Bruce, I think
your being unnecessarily hard on isolationists, as you see them. Apparently
in your world view we have only two choices, clean fingernails, or a missionary
zeal for the culture. The problem for me is that both you and Kinkaide
blur your ideals. Honest, conflicted Christians who are trying to live
by Proverbs 4:23-27 and Christ's command to go into the world (but not
to be part of it according to Paul) are hopefully helped by your black
and white world and Kinkaide's mellow renderings. Christ would have certainly
walked Hollywood and Vine, but he would also have isolated himself in
the hills and deserts to be refreshed, find peace and be close to His
Father. I suspect you have experienced the same doubt and insecurity about
whether you are doing God's will in your web site as the rest of us in
our less visible endeavors. I wish you God's peace. Kinkaid paints pictures,
you run a big web site, both of you are doing it ostensibly for God. Motives,
in all contexts, form the narrow Way.
Again, Peace.

From: francis
I just "Happened"
to "find" this web page...hmmm...I think maybe I came across it not so
accidently.. I am relieved after reading what you said...and made clear
some of my doubts... Because I was skeptical about all the ancient religions...so
so SO many of them and they all share numerouse similarities (the Flood)
all over the world many share similarities..then, you said that perhaps
God put these ancient religions into the ancient people's mind's for one
good reason, and that was to prepare the people all over the world for
the word of Jesus....when the 12 disciples were given the gift of tounges
to spread the word of Jesus all over the world, Because the ancient peoples
had their own religions with all their similarities they were prepared,
able to assept, or even expect the coming of Christ...Wow... I know I
cannot make what I am thinking very loud and clear, but now I know for
myself...I just want to know one thing...
It has been 2000 years
and then some since Jesus, There have been others since him, like Buddah,
I know he was a very peaceful man...not a diety...but just made into one...I
also heard (but may not be true) that Buddah may be a desendent to Christ
(cousin)...Very Interesting....
Now...The signs of
the times...all the goings on in our world...what do YOU think? My very
spiritual mother (who has the gift of tounges) thinks these are the end
days... If it is indeed the end time, what about those who arent saved,
or who do not believe that Jesus is the way? I Know that God loves all...
Come on now... If Jesus is the ONLY way... then what about those who are
spiritual as far as believing in a GOD, but not Jesus as God?

REPLY TO DM PORTER
Subject: Ghost
Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001
From: R.C.
Yes, it's been roughly
two years since dm posted his/her archaic interpretation of Judgement,
but I'd like to get this off my chest all the same, if I may. I'm a Catholic,
but I do take issue with a piece of ideology an alarming number of my
fellow Christians seem to subscribe to.
dm seems to be actually
ANGRY at the idea that a man might be allowed into Heaven without having
been saved by his faith in Jesus. It troubles me that so many so-called
Christians feel this way. If belief in Jesus is the one and only way to
earn a happy afterlife, what of the millions of people who lived BEFORE
Jesus' time? Is Moses in Hell? Is Abraham? They had no chance to believe
in Jesus, and yet they were good men. Does that not count?
What about people
being brought up in non-Western societies, where Christianity is not common,
or even not ALLOWED? Let's use one of the civilians who have died in Afghanistan
recently as an example. Let's call him Ahmed. Ahmed is a good husband
and father, and although not a Christian, he lives his life according
to the very principles Jesus taught us. He loves his fellow man and lives
to serve those close to him. He's had no contact with Christians, as the
oppressive Taliban regime does not grant freedom of worship to its citizens.
One day, Ahmed finds himself in the proverbial wrong place at the wrong
time, and is killed by debris created by a nearby explosion.
dm, do you truly believe
that this good, kind man, husband, and father, deserves eternal torment
for not having been a Christian? Do you believe God would allow oe of
His creatures to go to hell under such unfair circumstances?
Do you believe a pacifist
like the Dalai Lama will burn in Hell because his relationship with God
isn't based on the Christian Bible? By the same token, do you believe
a genocidal monster liek Hitler has a better shot at redemption than,
say, Carl Sagan because Hitler was a Christian and Sagan was agnostic?
Sorry, that does not jive with my God, the God Jesus told us of, the one
that loves all of His creatures and is always with us.
There are people
who live VERY Christian lives without having known Christ, and there are
people who live utterly pagan lives even though they claim to have been
saved.
