I am constantly amazed by the various methods of Christian consumptive goods that are generated in the name of “spreading the word.” Back in the day there was Bibleman, who as it turned out, was ‘Buddy‘ from ‘Charles in Charge.’
Now we get another superhero, “Captain Salvation,” to help us know Christ more and build God’s Kingdom. Needless to say I’ve got issues with this type of:
theology
- that someone other that Christ helps bring about God’s Kingdom
- Captain is military term, wasn’t Christ killed essentially by military use
- an external superhero, that whole idol concept & all
- something quite counter to Christ’s message
not to mention good taste
now, far be it from me to suggest people not use their gifts and talents for the good of building up the Kingdom of God, but not all ideas are usable in building up the Kingdom of God..
