My strongly held religious beliefs absolutely prevent me from saying
anything negative about a Christian minister in a public forum. There
is a time and a place for such things, but this is not it. Because the
film is old and not widely distributed outside that minister's
denominational circle, I feel that nothing would be served by "exposing"
him or his film. I have "exposed" it among some people who were
affected by it.
It would be pointless to expose his error to him because he would
absolutely reject it. In order to minimize division in the church, it
is necessary for OECers to choose their battles carefully. If we take a
confrontational approach, we will only bring strife and division. If we
quietly and patiently explain the truth, people who might not otherwise
accept it will do so--my own father is an example of this.
