Clash of the Titans – Arminian Theology Undercut

One aspect of this movie that completely undercuts it theologically is the idea that men’s prayers fuel the gods. Maybe men can fuel demons, but God is totally self-sufficient, aseity as the theologians call it. It means His Self alone is all He needs. This aspect of the true Creator God is one reason man should fall on his face before Him and acknowledge their utter and complete dependence upon Him. Another reason is man’s uncleanness, which the movie (and the ancient mythologies) does not deal with at all.

At the end of it all and despite all his attempts to avoid it, Perseus becomes like “them,” i.e., the gods. He uses their power, and he ends up defending one god, Zeus, from another god, Hades. It’s like being on the side of the “white” witches against the “black” witches. You merely end up defending witchcraft, which represents a rebellion against the sovereign God’s order. Likewise, Perseus, as Zeus aptly put it at the end, will end up being worshipped as a god.

So, what about Christian denominations that teach that man is capable of reaching God? They often teach that the Calvinistic doctrine of the sovereign and gracious choice of God in saving individuals is wrong? Do they not accomplish a similar futility, while claiming to teach Christianity? Teaching humanism instead of the true faith?

Yes, It’s Time to Cast Aside Secular Humanist Law and Education

Evolution’s System of Law:

  1. Man as the only reasoning animal on planet earth is in charge, sovereign, the supreme One. Man is the true god.
  2. Some men are higher than others in the pyramid of hierarchy; the more intelligent, the more advanced, the more skilled in political manipulation – Obey them for they’re the judges.
  3. Law is not fixed but is evolving along with man. Law is what those in 2., above, say it is for the rest of us based on they themselves create or change. Be ready for it to change tomorrow . . . or else.
  4. You will be brought into line with the rules of 3., above, or be punished, and no religion will save you.
  5. The future is bright, as long as you fall into line and let the smart people in 2., above, stay in charge and tell you and everyone else what to do. The people in 2., above, will guide us through the evolutionary process and avoid an extinction event, but we must be united as a species. If we think your religion might hold back our progress as a united species, then our survival is really much more important than your beliefs . . . or even you. Get the picture?
