God's Army- Movie Compendium

God's Army
Rating 4/5

Well a little about this movie. It was ranked number #21 best religious movies of all time. It was made on a $300K budget, and its about Missionaries within Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint. I found this movie at Half Price Books and I figure since it says "God's Army" it should be epic. Little did I know it was on the LDS religion.

Religious views aside- I think it really gave me a perspective of what missionaries go through- rejections, attacks, slammed doors, slander, and among other things. What I notice is these missionaries turn the other cheek on these things and most importantly pray faithfully God would work on them and become Spiritually filled.

I found it interesting in this movie that a half reluctant missionary went on to commit 2 years of his life to do this, and this movie presented his coming of age in becoming a dedicated missionary.

Did I see any cult like example in this movie? No.

I just don't understand why people bash LDS so harshly and make fun of this or any other religion. There is a way to disagree with a religion and not make fun or bash it. Most of the time, I have heard examples of mockery of other religion outside one's religion. That's so disrespectful.

Am i Spiritually filled with the LDS religion? No, but I found this to be an interesting movie.
