Movie Review Time Changer

I made it through all 3 of the movies I picked the other night. I'm glad that I got an opportunity to watch all 3 because they all seem to have some lessons to teach. The last of the 3 I picked last week is called Time Changer. I was impressed with this movie, not because of the acting, but because of the storyline. The acting was, well, I liked the storyline.

Imagine that it is the 1890's. A bible professor at one of the local schools has written a book. It is soon ready to go to print but the publisher would like an endorsement from the school that will help promote the book, the college, and increase sales of the book itself. To get an endorsement, the writer, Dr. Carlisle, needs to get a unanimous vote from the other staff. All but one agrees with the endorsement and the one, Dr. Anderson, tries to convince him that a section of his book needs to be changed. In the book, Dr. Carlisle states that the morals of Jesus Christ can be taught without giving credit. That teaching the morals would be important and would lead people back to Christ by teaching the morals alone.

Dr. Anderson sees it differently and requests that Dr. Carlisle come to his home to prove his theory. Reluctantly, Dr. Carlisle does go to Dr. Anderson's house to find that Dr. Anderson has a machine that can travel back in time. Dr. Anderson sends Dr. Carlisle 100 years into the future. A future where morals are looser, and Christ has been taken out of the teachings.

He learns quickly that once credit for the teachings of Christ are not given proper credit, they become open to interpretation. He is shocked and dismayed at the way people are in the 21st century. He eventually comes to realize that to teach morals, you have to make sure that the authority is given to them so that people know they are absolute and not open to interpretation.

Anyway, good story. Really enjoyed watching it and the testimony he bears at the futuristic church is an eye opener. You realize how desensitized we have become and how we have spiraled away from proper teachings.

I give this a high rating because it has a strong message. If you are a collector of Christian films, I would recommend this one for the collection but otherwise, get it from the video store and watch it at least once.
