Gods Not Dead 2

Saints,
I just took the family to the early premiere tonight of Gods Not Dead 2. It was fantastic! It was based on facts from 24 real court cases concerning religious freedom to say the name of Jesus in the public education sphere, had a touch & mention concerning what happened recently in Houston concerning the pastors' sermons being subpoenaed, etc. Anyways, it was a very God glorifying film, had nothing "unclean" in it, had good acting, had some surprises, was faithful to the Gospel, etc. A solid 4.5-5 stars in my book. Just FYI.
God Bless,
Jeff

I believe the movie was filmed in Little Rock Arkansas where I live. Certainly intend to see it.

I really liked the first one overall, but I personally thought it was better in some aspects.

I saw War Room a couple of times and thought it was good. Actually the movie had me in tears both times and on my knees.

But that is just sentimental me. But I thought War Room was a good movie. Hope to see God is Not Dead part 2 over the weekend.

Thought I would go and take in the movie this afternoon. That is if I can get a ticket. Will post about the movie after watching it, Lord willing of course.

Did see God is not Fead Part 1. Would be interesting to compare both movies.

Just saw the movie. God is Not Dead Part 2 is a very good movie. Excellent to see. Very family-friendly. Don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen it yet. But again well worth seeing.

The movie has loose connections to the first one. But not necessarily a continuation of the first one. And I think I see in this movie God is Not Dead Part 3 coming out. But I will leave that to the moviegoer to figure that out.

I can relate to the movie because I live in Little Rock. The courtroom scenes took place in the state capital building in Little Rock. This is a building I have worked in. So the scenery is quite familiar to me. But then I guess I'm a little biased.

One statement I will share that came out of the movie was the one made by the teacher. This will probably be one classic statement that we will all remember. She said I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world. Rather than stand with the world and be judged by God. Really resonated in my spirit.

So go see the movie and enjoy.

Did you stay in the theater until AFTER the credits finished rolling? If you left early (or if others do), you'll have missed something we wouldn't probably have caught if I didn't have a sleeping toddler on me & 5 other kids running around last night. Don't want to give it away, but it is what made me think a part 3 was possible in the thought process/works

Brother I did not stay to see the whole credits roll. Actually it would have been hard for me to read them. But based on something I saw in the movie. And again don't want to spoil it. I do believe a God is Not Dead 3 coming out.

Brother Blaine

What do you expect the world to say? This film is based on the true events of 24 alliance defense fund court cases against the ACLU suing or attempting to get fired educators for daring to say the name of Jesus. The "reverse psychology poor victim aetheist portrayal is Unchristian" bit is a little bit of a tired & predictable reaction. But what do you expect the world to say really?

The ACLU or Freedom FROM religion foundations are the ACCUSORS/Plaintiffs in these cases, not the Christians just trying to defend their right to say the name Jesus, or have a Bible verse on a post-it on their computer, or have a Bible out on break reading it, etc.

I'll email you Blaine & fill you in on what you missed. 😊
