The Heart of Man (2017)
Quick fix/justification for major acts of betrayal
This movie did not provide a true understanding of the forgiveness of God. This movie seemed more to talk about the perspective of a cheater and their search for forgiveness that they felt they deserved. Without giving respect or attention to those who suffered due to their choices and actions. The movie instead focused on three people who cheated on their partners and had them speaking about how they have used Gods love and forgiveness to make them feel better about themselves so they can continue their lives without guilt. Sorry but they made the choice in the first place to do these things at the cost of their family and partners while calling themselves Christian's and good people in those moments. I did find the other peoples stories more understanding such as the abuse they had suffered and addiction they had overcome and they did that by allowing God into their lives. I feel the focus on forgiveness was lost in the recounts of cheating stories. I think instead they should have focused more on the love of God and the changes that people had made. What sacrifices they made to redeem themselves and to help those they hurt so badly. Instead it felt like a quick fix chat about agreeing they did wrong but moving on easily through the thought that God loves everyone and forgives all sins. If they had focused more on the women who had obvisouly shown great forgiveness to still remain with these unfaithful people we may then have seen God through their actions and their struggles. I do think the people who shares their stories have helped open a topic that should be discussed and I wish them success and happiness for their relationships in the future. I believe this movie may have benefited and been more acceptable with their approach had they included more of an understanding of how much cheating can destroy relationships and the people who are hurt by the people they love. It would have been good to have this explained more and also focus more on steering people away from the idea of cheating. Teach people how wrong it is so they do not do it themselves. Instead they are saying it's ok you've done wrong God will forgive you whatever you do. Give us some Christian morals along with all that you have said because clearly these people lacked them from the start and could really use them and have them instilled in their heart. Live for God and for those you love. Do not make selfish choices for your own satisfaction.
