AN
INDICTMENT OF MODERN CHRISTIANITY?
In
2002, Christian movie producer Rich Christiano released his first
full-length movie “Time Changer” starring a number of well-known
Hollywood actors; Gavin McLeod (Love Boat), Hal Linden (Barney
Miller), Richard Riehle (West Wing), Jennifer O’Neill (Summer of
’42), comedian Paul Rodriguez, and more. With a budget of less
than $1M, “Time Changer” tells a time-travel story of Professor
Russell Carlisle (D. David Morin) with important missing credits
from his book's manuscript.
In
this science-fiction plot, Professor Carlisle works at a Bible Seminary in the
year 1890, and is seeking the unanimous approval of the Seminary
trustees to publish his book. Dr. Norris Anderson (MacLeod) objects
over the omission of the name of Jesus Christ, and civilized
arguments ensue as Dr. Carlisle defends what he sees as the harmless
teaching of “good moral values” for life.
Dr.
Anderson considered such teachings worthless, without mentioning the
name of the one who gave the moral laws for living – Jesus Christ.
To prove his point to an obstinate Dr. Carlisle, Dr. Anderson invites
him to his home to explain his reluctance for approving a book which
he knows will add to the decline of Christianity in the future.
Apparently
Dr. Anderson’s father had developed a time-travel machine, and
persuades Dr. Carlisle to be sent over 100 years into the future, to the 21st Century, for the experience of a
lifetime! What Dr. Carlisle observes in the future is a corrupt
state of the American church, Christianity, and society.
Teleporting from
1890, when an outrageous 5% of marriages ended in divorce, Dr.
Carlisle is shocked to discover today over 50% of marriages end in divorce,
and disappointed at the current state of the church, lacking
enthusiasm or passion for winning lost souls. This movie from 2002, speaks about today's corrupted society in 2013. Read more about this family-film reviewed at

“Time
Changer” is well written and highly recommended for anyone searching for
the truth. It makes for an easy Saturday-night-in-with-the-family movie,
