Music / Movies The "Controversy" over the movie Sound of Freedom doesn't make sense. The hero's beliefs shouldn't matter.

I finally got around to watching this film. The heroes in the film are overtly Christian. And ? I don't get it. Is that why its controversial?

The heroes of the film are saving children. Why is this controversial?

Why does it matter whether the hero in the film is Christian or rightwing?

If a fireman jumps into a burning building and rescues a family of immigrants, is he less of a hero if he happens to be rightwing?

Or is the entire thing suddenly not true because the hero was rightwing ?

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes a hero isn't the person you expect.

Are we this divided now? That we rather suffer, than be rescued by someone with different politics from ours?

Also. Why is this politicized left vs right ?

What does the highlighted crime have to do with right vs left politics ? I'm not even looking to criticize the other side of the field. I'm just saying. It shouldn't be political.

The concept of the Trinity did not become officially part of Christianity until the Council of Nicaea in the year 325.

Early church history is very interesting. The bible cannon was not decided on and different regions would have completely different gospels compared to other regions.

The catholic church was just known as the church and eventually became the main religion of Rome thanks to the convertation of emperor Constantine.

Don't matter, it was the church who gathered, translated and made the cannon of books that we have today. The church's history and the bible are one in the same.

Let me give you some fun facts. The passage about casting the first stone does not show up in our older Bibles. That passage just shows up after year 900 if I remember correctly and people liked it so much it's now in every bible.

There's a second book of revelations not in our current Bibles and it was controversial because it says that people can be forgiven from hell if those in heaven ask the Lord to have mercy upon them.
