The Passion of the Christ

[EricaH 0]

Brits, I sure do hope you are right. I have a hard time seeing it from a non-believers view or from a view that hasn't been jaded by too much "religion".

A few of the people I saw it with are not Christians or are Christians that have lost their faith. The ones that left were the most critical, the ones that never believed were very inquisitive. So, I think I just argued myself into agreement w/ you.

There's just so much more to the story that would have added a lot of value, but I guess very few would go see a Lord of the Bible 3 part epic.

I think these discussions are good, so long as they stay on track & don't turn into... well, we all know.

Good night to all, good rest & hopefully happy jumps for the weekend.

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Erica,
I totally agree with you. I don't believe that true Christians can 'lose' their faith, however I do believe that it can be questioned. I also agree that there can be a lot 'more' to the story, yet I think Gibson was trying to depict the exact text of the Bible (for the most part). No more, no less. Whether it be for believers or not, it is what it is, and one can choose to take it as truth or as a nice 'story.' Since I know what I know, I take it as truth. Hopefully those who take it as a nice 'story' will someday be convicted of the truth. Whether it be through Gibson's "The Passion of The Christ," or whether it be through a friend dragging them to church one Sunday morning, His truth is revealed, and to God be the glory.
