Christian athlete Tim Tebow has recently been put under fire after he promoted the upcoming Christian movie, "The Shack."

According to reports, Tebow said on his Twitter account that he had seen the sneak peek of "The Shack," and opines that the soon-to-be-released movie is a great reminder that "God is with us in our highs and lows and LOVES us no matter what."

While many of the Twitter followers of NFL quarterback-turned-baseball player agree with his opinion, some could not help but reply to Tebow's tweet and slammed him for his post. According to some of those who replied to Tebow's tweet, both the novel and the movie versions of "The Shack" are spiritually unsound and are a form of heresy.

To the uninitiated, "The Shack" is the movie adaptation of a novel with an eponymous title written by Canadian author William P. Young and was released in 2007. The story tells of Mackenzie Allen Phillips returning to the shack believed where his abducted daughter, Missy, was murdered four years ago during a family vacation. There, Mackenzie meets God in his woman form, an encounter that does not only lead him into eventually accepting his daughter's death but changes his life forever.

Sam Worthington plays the role of Mackenzie Allen Phillips, while Octavia Spencer plays the role of the female human incarnation of God, simply known as Papa, in the movie version of "The Shack." The story also features The Holy Spirit as an Asian woman named Sarayu (Sumire Matsubara), while Jesus (Avraham Aviv Alush) is portrayed as a Middle-Eastern carpenter.

While some believe that "The Shack" is a form of heresy, supporters of both the novel and the movie argue that the story's take on God the father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus is nothing more than symbolic and should not be taken literally.

"The Shack" hits the Northern American theaters this March 3.
