Hell and Mr. Fudge (2012) Reviews
Where do you end up when your spiritual walk takes a U-turn?
Courage and strength highlight each chapter of this story as we watch one man lead his family through the most difficult path of all; the right one. How does a humble man, without pretense or guile, open up the minds of folks so set in their ways that they cannot bear to hear any truth but their own? Laced with humor and colored with a dash of southern charm, this amazing drama is sure to be a classic reminder that we must set aside prejudices in all areas of our lives if we truly seek to find the truth. Edward Fudge has diligently dedicated his life to deliberately digging deeper into the scriptures towards a more comprehensive understanding of God. What he finds challenges his core beliefs and forces him to defend the truth in the face of unfamiliar opposition, his own brethren. Better than any rousing sports flick, this is a fascinating tale; one worthy of at least two bowls of popcorn.
wow
I loved this film. It was so beautiful, hopeful and moving. I have never watched a movie that has changed my life like this one. It not only has a great script, acting and music but the message is so refreshing. I think that this film resonates with what bother Atheists most about mainstream Christians.It is not very often that you get a new perspective of hell and God's grace. What is even more awesome is that this is a true story I am betting the dislikes are from the people Mr.Fudge went up against in real life. Regardless this is a must see and a must share. I will definitely be watching this again. I wish it was in more theaters around the world.
A movie with real substance!!
To be forthcoming, I went into the movie theater intrigued to learn about Edward Fudge's view of hell and the Scriptures that influenced his newfound conclusions that proved violently unpopular with the religious leaders of his own brotherhood. But his story was familiar. Where had I seen it before? As the plot unfolded, what took center stage for me were the vivid reminders that surprisingly propelled me back in time 2,000 years ago. For I recalled reading in Scripture how the Son of God Himself was confronted by the religious leaders of His day who had "seated themselves in the chair of Moses." As a result, their lust for power and control blinded them from seeing the incarnate Truth Who stood right in front of them or accepting the much simpler message of God's truth. I had often wondered why the Holy Spirit thought I needed to know about the confrontations between Jesus and the religious leaders. Just so I would know that it happened? Or to prepare those who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus for the same thing? "Hell and Mr. Fudge" answered that question. Along with the Bible itself, the story of Edward Fudge encouraged me to desire God's truth and seek it, knowing that truth will be unpopular with those who have become content to hide behind the ritualized religious systems built around the commandments of men. The best line of the movie came from Fudge's dad, who said, "If the Bible says it, it's true--even if the whole world is against it." How one feels about God's word has no bearing on its truth. Yet, I was touched at how a young Edward Fudge (played by Cody Sullivan) struggled to embrace a church doctrine that would see a loving God torturing the souls of unbelievers for all eternity. Both Sullivan and Astin brought convincing portrayals of deep emotion that kept me connected. Two solid thumbs up!
An introduction to the God you'd been yearning for
This is a story of a man coming to grips with a new reality about the nature of his God. It is one of the most profound stories ever told because it uncovers a view of God revealed in Scripture that has been muddled by age-old false doctrine which is not easily shed by those whose tradition embraces it. Be warned: if you opt to take this red pill, your life will be forever changed, your eyes opened and you will encounter the face of the God who truly is love and who wants to save and have relationship. You may also encounter the wrath of your fellow man, reticent to embrace this truth because they choose to follow the dim light of an orthodoxy that slanders God's grace-full and righteous nature. As the good book says, the wages of sin is truly death, not eternal life. Only our Lord Yeshua (transliterated Jesus) has the words of eternal life, and those are a free gift for those who choose them.
If you're ready for the truth....
A friend had told me about this guy named Edward Fudge who had written a book about annihilationism. I had already had a problem with the concept of sinners burning in hell forever and ever even though that's what I had been taught my whole life. It just didn't seem like the heart of God that would cause or allow that nor did it make sense. It just seemed like overkill. This movie is a good introduction to the understanding of hell being a place where unbelievers go to be destroyed. His arguments are not only compelling but I believe very accurate as to the meaning of the scripture on this matter. Die-hard traditionalists blow off this teaching and call it heresy, but I doubt any of them have done the research and study that Mr. Fudge has done to get to the bottom of it all. Mackenzie Astin's performance as Edward Fudge is great and Keri Lynn Pratt (Sara Faye) is an angel.
