This type of response (personal attack) indicates you have no valid argument.
It was not a personal attack. I am simply pointing out that when someone feels the need to threaten people with eternal torment in hell because of watching a movie or not, they obviously have a lot of fear in their heart. How do I know there is fear in their heart? They told me so and are trying to put fear in other people's hearts. I think you missed your chance to tell the other person that they have no valid argument.

Simple Living said nothing of the sort. No threats. Only God has that authority.
God is the Author of truth so truth is what He says it is. It's not subject to any persons feelings, emotions or desires. The simple fact is (and facts are not subjective), The Shack is heretical and unbiblical. That's a fact, not an opinion.
As for what's in my heart, you can't possibly know so that comment is merely the typical insult that's given when actual facts, logic or reasoning can't be applied. Your original comment even said "IMO." In YOUR opinion. When you base the eternal things of God on YOUR opinion, you are committing idolatry and lowering God to a created being of your own making and liking.
You are free to enjoy The Shack and believe what you wish. God will not interfere with that. But, with every choice there are consequences and you are also responsible for those, too. Are you really willing to risk your entire eternity based on a fictional movie that gave you warm fuzzies? Have you actually taken what you heard from the movie and compared it to what God actually says in His Word? There's no way you can find the two in agreement. So, who's wrong? It's not God. Be very careful. Eternity is a very long time.
A statement with the implied intention to inflict, for something done or not done is a threat.

Oh, you must be Martha Stewart's male counterpart. You sound so innocent like a little lamb. But you believe God plans to literally roast people in literal hell fire, so your lamb talk is not even legitimate. Do you see the disconnect? I didn't think so.

No, it's not an attack. It is an observation. Only you see it as an attack because I criticize your personal belief. If that is seen as an attack, then no honest discussion is allowed here. It only feels like an attack because I state the truth in terms that are not sugar coated with niceties and you don't like it exposed that you believe that about God.
Funny thing is, since 'Simple Living' is new here, I thought that was part of your comment, i.e. Simple living.....etc... which is why I thought you sounded like Martha Stewart. But the rest is still the same anyway.
That's the great thing about God's Word, is that we can rely on it to know truth. We don't need to rely on the wisdom of scholars or men when God gave us His Word to guide our paths into righteousness.
Does this movie accurately present the truth of God? The answer is a simple no.
Shake the dust off your shoes... and keep seeking those who will hear.
