MONUMENTAL the movie ... A monumental "Christian" mistake!

..(2) preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. (3) For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, (4) and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths - 2 Timothy 4:2-4

A MONUMENTAL MIS-STEP




Is seems like the Christian Narrative for our country is becoming more and more dilluted with each passing day.  Jesus states in the Gospel of John ... "I am the way, the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me" - John 14:6.  I cannot find anything within the scripture that states that the Founding Fathers, the Tea Party or the restoration of a pagan Masonic monument will restore America and get us back to the ideals of the 1600's ... can you?  Please don't misunderstand, I am in agreement with my Christian brothers and sisters that our country is in steep decline, but it is becoming clear that the "conservative" side of the aisle is taking a page out of the playbook of the left by ... "not letting a good crisis go to waste ..."

Kirk Cameron (Way of the Master / Living Waters) recently released a film entitled MONUMENTAL: In Search of America's National Treasure.  Cameron is passionate in his desire to preserve the nation for generations to come, but is his desire misguided?  There are many questions that DISCERNING CHRISTIANS must answer before discussing or endorsing this film.  Questions like: Is his presentation of history accurate?  Is Cameron un-knowlingly misleading millions of "well-meaning" down a road that is unbiblical?  Is there another agenda behind the release of this movie? 



It is interesting that Cameron states .... "this is only the beginning" ... One only has to do a google search to find out what Cameron is referring to ... click here to see the number of resources for Monumental.  After viewing all of the resources - let me ask you a question - who are these resources marketed towards?  Will the market be left-leaning, humanistic democrats?  Or, is Cameron and his team marketing this project to conservatives, evangelicals, home-schoolers and Tea Party Patriots ... I think we all would lean towards the latter ....

As you embark on researching this project to determine its accuracy ... I feel it is important for you to understand a few of my concerns surrounding MONUMENTAL ... You can find them listed below:

1. Monument to the Forefathers ... THE monument of MONUMENTAL ...
  •  Former Mormon and Freemason, Ed Decker details, "The Monument at Plymouth was not constructed at the site of the Pilgrims' crossing in 1620 and was not erected at God's instruction, by the pilgrims who were the ones who actually crossed. They never referred to any such thing as their memorial or their Gilgal, as it might have been.


    Instead of a set of memorial stones, such as we read about throughout the Old Testament, this Masonic monument rises 81 feet above its base. It is hardly a Gigal.


    It's cornerstone was laid in a grand procession and ceremony by Freemasons in 1859, 239 years after the Pilgrims landed. When I say grand procession, I mean several thousand Masons marched with their banners held high." - The Decker Report - The Freemasons and America: A Monumental Strategy

2. Monumental - A review - Vince and Lori Williams (authors of Falsified: the danger of false conversions) - click here

3. Is MONUMENTAL historically accurate?  The questionable history of David Barton - Throckmorton article - click here
4. Monumental Tour ... billed as an opportunity to re-trace the steps of the Pilgrims, become trained and equipped regarding the formation of America ... but why study and become trained in the things of the occult? (see Decker articles for more context)


As you can see, there is more than one reason for the confessing church to be concerned.  We are on the edge of a very slippery slope ... I hope that you take some time to investigate the information contained within this post and discern what action you need to take with the results.
