EXPOSING Lies We Believe About God: How the Author of The Shack Is Deceiving Millions of Christians Again

by James B. De Young

For years, there has been uncertainty regarding Paul Young’s The Shack. Some have suspected heresy but have been unable to pin down exactly what Paul Young believed. James De Young, Th.D., who has known Paul Young for a couple decades, wrote Burning Down the Shack to expose Christians to the fact that Paul Young espoused universalism. Now “the cat is out of the bag.” In his newest book, Lies We Believe about God, Young blatantly confesses adherence to universal reconciliation, as well as twenty-seven other beliefs that are heretical. Here are some of Paul Young's unbiblical God is not in control of everythingGod submits to human beingsGod is a ChristianGod is a sexual being, equally male and femalePeople do not need to get savedSin and hell do not separate people from GodThe cross was man’s idea, not God’sPeople have a second chance to believe after deathEveryone is a child of GodUniversal reconciliation has been accomplished for all peopleThe God of evangelical faith tortured his child, Jesus, and is the perpetrator of evilDrawing upon his life-long teaching of the Bible and the original languages, James De Young appeals to the Bible to expose Paul Young as a heretic. In appendices, he also furnishes proof that Paul Young violates the Nicene Creed and the beliefs of the early church father Athanasius. Finally, we have a book written by one who is both personally and academically qualified to expose the true nature of Young’s writings.

A Fantastic Truth

This Is An Outstanding Breakdown Of The Dangerous Book Written By Young
When Those Lead New Christians To False Teachings We Must Always Call It Out!

[Justin · Rating 1 out of 5]

Absolutely terrible! I have never been more disappointed in a book! I was actually really excited about it, I was hoping for an intellectual and academic treatment of the content of Lies We Believe About God. What I got instead was the angry and incoherent ramblings of someone who clearly did not understand what he was reading. It is full of mischaracterizations of Paul Young‘s words and strawman arguments. Which is ironic and even a little funny since Paul Young is repeatedly accused of using strawman arguments in this book.
