Loved the True Story, Could've Been Written Much Better!!

Warning: Spoilers
I absolutely loved the true story behind the movie, but this movie was created to send a message out into the world. If not.... why make it? Yes we are faced with sexual sin daily because we live in a world that gives us freely whatever our hearts desires. I am a Christian and I know first hand the confusion this man has faced! The confusion of doing something knowing it's not God's will and telling the other person we need to stop and showing them where in the Bible tells us why, over and over. It's a tortured place to be. This movie had so many talented actors they could've really amped up their characters emotions and beliefs as well as the actual Word of God by showing the attributes of God (Loving, Merciful, Graceful, and All Knowing). What it means to actually break away from any sexual stronghold. What God puts in place of it. This movie seemed to look more at the negativity of this man overcoming his personal identity as someone with these deep rooted sexual desires that he thought made him who he was to him realizing that his identity is so much more because it's in Christ Jesus. That doesn't seem right if your trying to share something like this. Whoever wrote this I really wish they did their homework! Faithful and True Is about all sexual sin and there are men groups all over coming together in anonymity doing this workbook and mentoring each other trying to make a difference. For young women and women separate there is an amazing book with workbooks about overcoming sexual sin, that you can get plugged into a small group. (Please look for these groups at nondenominational Christian Churches with groups) We need more stories like this! But we need them to show God as a HE truly is! If I was confused new Christian and started to believe I am supposed to be with same gender, this movie would not help me.
