The passion of the Christ

[DeeJay]

Excellent point. I don't think He intended for us to ogle his bare backside either.

Jesus died in a humiliating way. That is part of the story is it not. The King voluntarily died a humiliating death of a criminal so that we could be saved.

 

[DeeJay]

Duh....

BTW. That was unnessessary. If you want to debate and discuss you should try to do it like an adult.

It wasn't in his death that His behind was shown and no we do not need to see imagery that is supposedly Jesus' behind.

I guess that is an opinion. The artist was trying to show the humiliation of our King who lowered Himself for us.

Not to your taste, I guess to each his own. I thought it was a powerfull reminder of what Jesus was willing to do for us. The depth of His love.

Like I say to each his own.

That doesn't mean you go around showing movies of Jim Caviezel getting flogged for two and half hours and paying to see it. Do you really think Jesus wanted you making a movie about his humiliating and tortuous experience? I think he'd much rather you worship his loving ways than him dying...It's like the whole Christian nation has become infatuated with their saviour being beaten to death...

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

I think the whole Christian nation has become infatuated with how much their saviour went through for us and it was more than TWO HOURS that he hung on that cross...

 

[Marcia]

I dont see whats so terrible about showing Jesus stomping on a snake in the garden.

I mentioned that as one example of the many things shown in this movie that are not in the Bible.

Fine...Worship God however your twisted minds feel like worshipping him. I'm just saying, It's a little depraved to watch Jim Caviezel be tortured for 2 and a half hours. I honestly don't think Jesus wanted you to ogle over his beaten body. But rather worship him in a loving way...

What was humiliating about being resurrected?

You're right, it is not to my taste to see another man naked, apparently others are into this sort of thing. As you say, to each his own.

First you post still images of someone dancing in order to call it a "pelvic thrust" and now you imply something sexual about the Passion of the Christ? Dude, get help.

What did I say about sex? I said he was naked and that doesn't appeal to my tastes. If you like that stuff, as Dee said, to each his own.

You know for a fact that Jesus never intended for me to watch the movie? Please tell me how you know this.

For one. It was a terrible movie. To this day, I regret paying for it. Secondly, I don't think he wanted his children obsessing over him being beaten to death. Jesus intended to bring peace to his followers. Not send them into eternal mourning over some movie made by a dereanged, bigot person like Mel Gibson. But who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe Jesus does want you to obsess over his beaten body like some blood-thirsty, sadistic "Christians".


The apostles along with every generation of the church afterword has spoken of how He died. When you are speaking of how he died you are speaking of how much He loved us.

What this movie shows is a visual demonstration of Jesus love. It is a moderen form of the story that the church has passed along verbaly and in painting since its begining.

Tell me what teaching of Jesus is more important then what he did on the cross? If you say love then that leads us right back to telling the story of the cross becasue that is how Jesus loved us.

Just because every other person that ever existed did something in some particular way doesn't mean you have to. Why don't you tell how much he loved you in other ways. He did a lot more for you than die on a cross. There's the fish and bread, saved Moses, he healed tons of people in his day. He even sent Demons out of people. He even gave you the Bible which has turned into a life long infatuation for some people... Or just tell how he died, not show in grave, sickening detail.

There's more to love than death.

What do you mean, "infatuation"?

 

[Lilith]

What do you mean, "infatuation"?

Noun 1. infatuation - foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration.

 

[I Am Blessed 24]

I am proud to have a foolish and usually extravagant passion or love or admiration for the Word of God!

If more people fell in love with the Word of God, there would be a lot less problems in the world and we would have a lot less luke-warm Christians!

 

[Nicholas25]

My pastor did not want me showing the passion to my teen Sunday school class beause of it's secular; and because of its affiliation with the Catholic church.

Do you think it's foolish to love the word of God?

Yes.......

Actually, there'd be more uptight, hate-mongering, clinically insane, 'Christians' like Westboro if people followed the word of God literally. There'd be way too many protesters against abortions, gays, and basically anyone that doesn't follow God like an infatuated lunatic. It'd just be Hellish.

And what exactly is wrong with the Catholic Church?
