What You Need To Know:

BIG EDEN tells what happens when a painter named Henry, who considers himself homosexual, returns to his bucolic roots in Montana after his grandfather suffers a stroke. When everyone in the fictional town of Big Eden figures out that Henry likes guys, they secretly try to set him up with Pike, the lonely American Indian who runs the local general store. Henry, however, still has a thing for the high school football star, Dean, who’s divorced and back in town with his two sons. Although Dean obviously lusts for Henry, he can’t quite bring himself to take the final plunge into perversion.

It’s bad enough that BIG EDEN sets out (in a far more tasteful way than most pro-homosexual movies, by the way) to praise the ultimate joys of homosexuality. The movie, however, also brings Christianity into the mix. Thus, virtually all the townspeople viewers meet in this movie are seen attending church a couple times, but everyone is completely supportive of Henry and Pike’s homosexual leanings. This is, of course, the Counterfeit Christianity of liberal antinomianism, or lawlessness, which makes a mockery of the power and truth of God’s Holy Word.
