Bymayor

As a follow-up to my previous entry on Mel Gibson’s The Passion, their site now has the official movie trailer. Warning! It is quite graphic. It may even leave you in tears. I can’t wait to see this movie. Finally, an realistic representation of what Christ went through on the day He died.

  1. I have not seen the movie of Mel Gibsons but im sure it is very moving and may be a stepping stone for some to seek and find out what the Gospel is.
    Aside from the movie there may be some things about Gibson concerning his faith that you might not know. Many have said he is a devout Christian. Gibson belongs to a Traditionalist Catholic group that performs the mass in Latin, abstains from meat on Fridays, eschews ecumenism, and other such things that were changed at the Vatican II Council in the 1960s. Gibson built his own Catholic chapel, called Holy Family, near his California home.
    When asked by a Protestant interviewer if someone can be saved apart from the Roman Catholic Church, Gibson replied, “There is no salvation for those outside the Church” (The New Yorker, Sept. 15. 2003). This was the official teaching of Rome prior to Vatican II. these “Traditionalists” conduct the mass’ in Latin and deny Vatican 2 and any Popes since 1965.
    Since he believes that all of us are lost outside the Roman Catholic church, Why are leading evangelicals calling him a devout Christian?
    The movie is not based solely on the Bible but also on the visions of Roman Catholic nun-mystics St. Anne Catherine Emmerich and Mary of Agreda.
    Pray that Gibson may get saved from this film.

  3. I am truly amazed at the level of faith in this and all religions. What has Jesus done for any of you lately? You apply any good thing in your ligfe to his will and any bad thing to your sins. Give me a break. You are GOD!! This was the message of Jesus. Do you really think a book written by MEN deserves the adherence you all apply to it. Do you actually beleive in the big eye in the sky. The messiah in Jewish terms did not mean GOD-MAN. It meant a man who would help lead the people out of the tyranny of the current oppressive nation. Try reading the old testament and relate it to lessons on life, not gospel fact. It is a metaphor. Ughhh!!! Humans are still so ignorant. It’s depressing. Jews still also wait for a messiah. There is no need for a Jewish messiah currently. There is no real, imminent threat. WAKE UP YA’LL.
    Have a nice day :o)

  4. LOL! Amazed is right. I’m amazed at his nutty theology.
    Hey Amazed, you are god? Great… work me a miracle. Actually, you can do better than that. Create a tree from nothing.
    Shoot.. that’s nothing. Make a planet for me.
    You know what? If you are God, how about raising a few people from the dead. Better yet, when YOU die, lets see you resurrect yourself.
    Go back and read the history books, friend. The historical Jesus and His account do not jive with your warped theology.
    In the meantime, enjoy playing God. I’m sure you can explain it to Him one day. He’ll get a kick out of it…

  5. Joel,
    The bible was written as a both a historical and metaphorical text. Many of the stories are taken from religions predating Judaiism. Example would be Noah’s Ark. That story circulated around many religions of the time. To accept what is written in either book as the direct words of some supreme being requiring your devotion or be smitten is preposeterous. The mere fact that these stories are borrowed or revised eliminates the supreme being angle. That said, of course there is something bigger than just us. But guess what. We are part of it. To simplify creation by saying God created the heavens and the earth in seven days now obey my will heathen is ridiculous. The 7th day of rest was meant to give a day off to people for their toil. The sabbath, invention of the weekend. Do you really think Jesus brought people back from the dead, walked on water, etc. Try studying the history and politics of the time of all the books. They relate to those times. Faith is a beautiful thing. I understand why people need it in their lives. Problem is this religion has and still does cause more problems than it’s worth. How many have died and been persecuted in his name? What about the aborigianl people of the world who don’t belive in your GOD. Are they to be condemned to hell. The new testament was written several hundred years after Christ. Do you really think it was exact. The simple fact is that life is not that simple. The “we are god” comment simply means we are part of it all. Cells in a large organism. We have the power to make our life good or bad. Have you ever prayed to God for something and it miraculously just happened. Could it be that we create our own destinies through our actions or lack of. I won’t be coming back here so no need to respond directly to me. I promised myself long ago I would stop arguing with religious types. You scare me with the whole “we have the monoploy on truth” thing. I have too many people tell me I’ll burn in hell for now beliveing in Jesus. I’ll take my chances, thanks. I’m sure if Jesus were still around he would be appalled at what has and still happens in his name.
    Bye bye Joely….

  6. Sorry amazed, but your theology is severely lacking in any degree of scholarly effort. You ask the same questions that I used to ask. I came to terms with the simple questions years ago and have proceeded to ask the more difficult ones. We must graduate from milk to meat.
    Bye bye Amazed. You are welcome back any time.

  7. I saw the movie, wow eveyone I went with had a bunch of questions on it. I hope many people come to accept Christ into their lives through this movie, cause Christ is real, his the Messiah. If people don’t believe that they should question themselves why they don’t, because Christ fullfills what was prophesized in the Old Testament. I hope that if anyone here doesn’t believe in Christ, I hope you will. Christ is the best friend you can have in life. He’s helped me through depression, when nothing else could. Also, through the Northridge earthquake,through problems at school and has brough so much happiness in my life.
    His the one that God sent for us. I love Jesus.

  8. umm well i am not a christin , i am a muslim and in my relgion we do belive injesus, but we dont belive that thats the way he died, anyways i really do want to see the movie, it sound very good!!!!!

  9. I always admire Mal Gibson as an actor, I did not realize he was such a serious religious man. This is good for hollywood actors and actresses to be serious about God. Hollywood needs a change for the Good, and Mal Gibson provided it with the Passion of the Christ.
    However, I would like to add that back in the 1970’s another great story was told about Christ but in a more entertaining way.
    How many folks remember
    “Jesus Christ SuperStar”?
    That really put the message through about the human flaws in all of us.
    The truth is Christ was crucified because he refused to yeild to foolishness and stupid demands made upon him for claiming he was the “Son of God”. However, he did perform many miricles to many witnesses. He refused to do it to disbelievers, or those who would see his miricles as trickery. For this reason, that he refused to place himself as a “SuperStar”, he was nailed to the cross.
    Our sin against Christ and against God, and the spirit, is that we constantly require proof of what the son of God said. It is not for us to become entertained by the Lord, for he is not our Jester. Christ came to teach, and it was for man to listen, and think logically.
    For instance. Christ really was too kind to some dummies in his teachings, An example is when he said “Yea must be born again, and the old man asked What do I do, crawl back into my mother’s womb?” Christ unfortunally never spoke in plain language, but in parables, and it was for the faithful to interpertate them. For this reason we have many branches of Christiany, many ideas of what Christ actually taught.
    But in this parable, it is plain to understand Christ was talking about the soul. But since man is so hung up in the material world he can’t imagine anything more than crawling back into his mother’s womb which of course is impossible. But through death and rebirth, it is possible because the soul lives on and on past the death of the physical body.
    If any one on this board is repulsed by blood of the Passion they should understand, Gibson told the story as it was basically, without the song and dancing as Jesus Christ superstar which basically mocked the life of Christ is what lead to his crucifition.
    Mockery is a human way of covering up the fact of our lack of understanding.

  10. The Jews nailed Jesus on the cross. If they get a chance again they might nail him on the cross again for preaching that God is for everybody. I am not surprised they are against the movie.
    The Jews haven’t learnt even after the Holocaust and the experience they have been having since they put Jesus on the cross.

  11. I’ve been raised in church all my life not always
    walked the way I know I should but I loved the Lord and I know He loves me. Seeing this movie and knowing that Jesus done this for me makes me step back and take Along look at my life. Thank you first and foremost Jesus Christ my Lord and savour. And to you Mr. Gibson do’nt let anyone or anything stand in your way. Remember Philippians
    4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strentheneth me!

  14. Wow, what a movie. I have never seen such a heart-rending, emotional movie in my entire life. It just takes my breathe away to know that a beautiful man went through so much cruelty and pain for my sins. I love you Lord so much and thank You. Mel Gibson did an extraordinary job and my respect for him has increased tremendously. He has went through so much pressure with the media but he still stood strong and made the best movie in history!! God Bless you Mel Gibson!

  15. Bravo to Mal Gibson for making this movie: “Passion of Christ”, we needed someone to make this movie and show the world again this is what happen to Jesus two thounsand years ago…..We see movies all the time what happen to Jews during the second war, the Germans do not act like the Jews do with this movie.I think the Jews are very selfish.However they should not worry about the movie as much as they do, they should worry what they do to the Palestinias every day, which is similar what Hitler did to them some 50 years ago and they repeat it today, one Jew is killed retaliation back for 50 Palestinias, “an eye for an eye”,”a tooth for a tooth”, that is in the old testiment which Jesus stop that to: if someone slaps one side of your face turn to them the other,but the Jews did no believe in Christ, and they cursed themselves and their children when they were screaming “Crucify him, Crucify him”.I do not blame the Jews of today for what the Jews of that time did to Jesus, but the todays Jews should understand this is what the Christianity is and believes, this is History that happened 2 thousand years ago and that should be tought for the years to come. It is about Jesus, a Theanthropos who did nothing bad but instead he spoke good and did good, they did not believe in him then and still they do not believe in him today, and we all know that at the eld he forgave them. I admire Gibson for doing this movie, May God Bless him and his family.
    Happy Easter Mal, and may the resurrection light this weekend enters to all the homes and may all the people see the Light..Jusus………….

  17. I wached the movie the Passion of Christ and is it is a powerful movie. Some might state that the movie is really violent and bloody when in reality this is what jesus christ went trough. and probably even worse. I loved the movie I just hope that this movie will opean people eyes to realize. What Jesus when through. For us and because of us. But some people just dont see it that way. This movie retells the life of Jesus Christ and what he went through he died because of us for us. I am sorry for those who don’t belive in him and alow him to be apart of your lives when in reality he gave his life for you all!!!.
