Now he does say as an Apologist who often debates Roman Catholics that he has to see the film in order to be able to refute its serious errors! But he has serious warnings about the content of the film and the theological slant it provides without any Biblical context.

Phillip,
Do you think that it is ok for James White to see the film because he has the proviso of being an "appologist"? If it is a violation of the 2nd commandment as we seem to agree on, then does the end justify the means. Couldn't he just read the script of the movie, assuming of course that one is available? Does James White address the issue on the 2nd commandment in his sermon(s) or articles on the movie. I listened to part of one of his dividing line shows, but he didn't address that issue.
Just curious what you think?
Also, Mark brought up the question about the triangles on most Hymnals (Trinity included) and some Bibles (NKJV). How does this relate to the 2nd commandment? Fred mentioned that the dove was a violation (and I agree), so how does this fit in. Just trying to be consistent.

[u:0507ea3f89]IF[/u:0507ea3f89] one views the film as a violation of the second commandment, as it appears White does, then he ought not to see it in order to "refute" it. It is then the equivalent of stealing or whoremongering or anger or idolatry in order to "better understand" something.
