Three Cheers for Mel Gibson

[Mandinka2]

J.C. forgave the Jews and the Romans on the cross , Pilate washing his hands disavowed responsibility for his murder. I don't think any real Christians bear any ill will towards any other believers or non-beleivers.

ANY movie that makes people think about the world around them, their lives, their love or their religion....

is a movie worth watching.

I think some of you miss the point.


It really doesnt matter whther the movie is good or bad... the simple fact that this thread and thousands like it exist... means MG did his job.


I cant wait to see it and Im not even a Christian.

I can't wait to see it. i think it was filmed as close to the truth as possible so we could see how jesus suffered for us. It was made for us to try to identify with what happend to him in his final hours. Crucifixtion(sp) was torture not some painless, goreless thing.

"Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe..." film will serve no purpose than being a gore fest for those who enjoy watching people being brutalized.

There are many blood-thirsty film-watchers in America. Many will flock to the theater to get a taste of blood only to be exposed to the gospel for the first time. Lives will be changed. Many will become Christians.

This movie is nothing but bad news.

read this:

As claimed by one author, who is doing his all to incite more controversy into the issue. After he and his ilk stir up enough shit about a film, polarizing the public more than the film could ever do alone, he can later say "see we told you this was bad".

 

[Longhorn85]

We all know that many movies have suceeded or failed notwithstanding the prediction of critics.

Consumers will speak with their pocketbooks. We will see soon.

Guy has balls I'll give him that , but he cut out all the controversial bits , and left just a super gore fest .

such as?

A persons FAITH and Historical Accuracy are 2 totally seperate things IMO...

That's why it is called FAITH and not History or Scientific fact, right ?

I think most of us may agree in the basic Historical Facts of the Passion.

Jesus was Crucified as a result of the Jewish Religious Leaderships fears that he was causing problems with the Romans allowing the jews to run things without interferrence.

Us Blaming all Jews today for Jesus' death would be like the Jews blaming all of todays Germans for the deaths in WW II..

Yea, some still do, but it's not right..

yes esp the comparison with the germans
