OK... here's my report.
If a non-believer were watching, they would have no clue what the Message was about. Why the sacrifice. I even heard someone say "So Jesus died on the cross. We knew that already. Who cares."
If a person does not know the bible, they don't know the Message.
For a believer (me) it was very emotional and very hard to watch. It made me realize even more just what HE did for me. It has encouraged me to want to seek a closer relationship with HIM.
Now for the nit-picking. For a believer who does not know scripture, it will be very easy to say "that is exactly how it happened" and end up using a movie in place of Scripture.
For people who knows scripture, the contradictions are very there.
1. Too much Mary. Mary is not the mediator between us and Christ. Some of the "poses" are straight out of the catholic church paintings and statues.
2. The devil was NOT in the garden of Gethsemane in scripture. Yet, the movie has him there taunting Jesus.
3. I have no clue what the devil holding the baby running along side Jesus was about, but I found no reference to it in scripture.
4. Lack of focus on the Ressurection. It was there, but in a "not important light" in my opinion. I was very disappointed by that.
Basically, if you are Catholic, you'll love it. If not, and if you can look past the Catholisism tucked in there, you'll still be able to appreciate it.
Just becareful not to replace scripture with the movie. That is the biggest "bad thing" I see happening. And that can be a very dangerous ground to tread on. I've seen it happen with the movie "The Ten Commandments" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" as well as a couple of others.
This movie is very close to scripture in enough areas that the parts that depart from scripture people may say "oh, well, Mel Gibson was right on all that, what makes you think he was wrong with this and this?"
Just becareful and use discernment when watching it.
Or, as my pastor put it, "If you wanna know what happened, read the Bible."
That's my bit on The Passion of the Christ.

MRS. HOPPES,
i thank you for your good report.
and i thank GOD for his glorious SON,JESUS.who took the punishment for me so that i would not have to endure eternal damnation in a place that the love of GOD would not BE present; in hell, wherever that happens to be.
the bible does say that the wages[the payment ] for sin is death.
and im glad i don't have to make that payment.
acts 16:31 says believe on the LORD JESUS CHRIST AND YOU WILL BE SAVED,YOU AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
I BELIEVE.

I hear it is a great movie and I like Mel Gibson, so I'm going to see it really soon.
I believe in what I belive in and I do believe that Jesus died on the cross, very painfully and brutally at that 
This cannot be a made up story that has gone on for thousands of years.
In those times they were so brutal as well, stoning people, and not in a good way either 
I'll also say that I hadn't have had a guardian angel all my life, I wouldn't be here right now 
And look what they did and the time after Jesus was foung guilty of what...Sin...Yes we all sin and we all make choices to do good or evil. I choose the good because it treats me better.
We are all culpable and will be until whenever
Cool thread.
Warm Regards,
esacnitsuj |

|
|
Hey all,
haven't seen it yet but definitely plan to 
About Christ...
i think there is a whole side of him that has been downplayed through the centuries by other forces at work to sanitize and capitalize his teachings...
don't want to call names...
i think HIS message, one extremely positive and of the utmost righteousness was that we all have to look for "GOD" inside of ourselves. It is not necessarily an entity outside of us that will punish and reward depending on our actions. TO MY understanding of spirituality, all well founded religions have had the same message that one has to live a life of compassion tolerance and love towards all in order to reach a state of mind comparable to "GOD", "ENLIGHTENMENT", or "NIRVANA"
or whatever you wanna call it.
It is a universal understanding of the prophets of this time period: CHRIST, BUDDHA, MOHAMMED, and many others...
This is just my take on religions and maybe the movie will change it.
I do not want to seem like i'm preaching... please don't take it that way, i'm just sharing ideas...
not with the intent to upset ANYONE! 
there has been enough blood spilled in the name of religions...
Peace and... LOVE!!!

You said a mouthful. I give love and I receive love.
There are times when we fall off the SIN wagon, but we get by.
Love & Compassion is the ultimate answer IMHO.

I agree completely with MrsHoppes.
MrsHoppes has it right on!
I think it kind of gives you an impact and a vision of what it was really like when Christ died. I never really thought about how bad it really was, but with the movie it gives a very good picture of what he went thru at the cross.
It makes me think WOW he took all that punishment for my sin, I better do what he commands in the bible, and seek a closer realationship with him.
And as MrsHoppes its very hard to watch.
And also as MrsHoppes said it had a lack of focus on the Ressurection. It was there, but in a "not important light" in my opinion. That also got to me.
It helps you realize all that he really did.
Thats what I think
