How does anyone know how true it is.
It goes back to the whole religion thing. There is not proof of anything in the bible it's all just faith based.

I don't want to ofend anyone. Just my .02

No offense taken accept that there are countless events from the Bible that are proven by archiology. Every time someone sets out to disprove something that happened in the Bible they end up proving themselves wrong. So having Faith in God may be "faith based" but countless events from the Bilble have been proven to be true.

[psyko1]

uh-oh, let me rephrase this. it is very true to the bible's accounts of what happened around his crucifiction.

watching a subtitled movie is stupid. if i want to read i'll go buy the book all for fun, looks not to bad but will wait till in video

that is like being a psychic. if you make a million predictions then a few are bound to come true. the bible makes a few thousands claims and predicitions of course a few will be true. also lets not forget that it was written 40-100 years after the death of christ so we can all imagine how the stories were embelished over the years.

PS and I am going to see it this sunday - its not all in subtitles is it?

[THE BOUNCER]

It seems to me that gibson and his dad dont like jews very much. lol

[grifilken]

is the entire movie subtitled??? fuck that if it is...i don't want to read for an entire movie...

[gearjunky]

Yes the whole movie is subtitled. They wanted to make it with out them and just in jebrish or whatever the language it is but then the y said"subtitles"

[Timber]

Im actualy looking forward to seeing it. I hope it does well for Mell Gibson. He's go a lot of money in it.

The movie is going to be very graphic. It's about the last 12 hrs. (I think it's 12) before Jesus died. No matter what your religious beliefs are, it's gonna be hard to see what the man went through. I will not see it in the theater but after it's available I might get it on dvd so I can just watch it at home if I get too emotional and just stop it when I want to.

Personally, I believe that a man named Jesus did live and was crusified, I just don't believe he was the son of God. I imagine that for those who do believe, the movie is going to be heartwrenching and very painful to watch.

This move is gonna change lives.I just saw peoples reactions to it on E. Crying,people saying theyve been saved.

[Gods Son]

isnt it weird the guy playing Jesus was struck by lightning during filming, and not hurt!

actually the events of Christs life are documented in not just the bible but in the quran, and in the Jewish books.
there is enough evidence that the events of Christs life happened, its just a matter of whether you believe He was/is God.

Even I can agree with this

I cant wait to see it.

I may even post this in a seperate thread...

I am appalled that church groups are taking CHILDREN to see this movie. What is worse is that a local church is having a 'lock-in' for kids where they will go without food for 30 hours to raise money for people without food (don't get me started). After which they will go see the movie. Maybe they can go see Texas Chainsaw Masacre/Clockwork Orange double feature afterwards?

To explain to all everything that is wrong with this would take me quite a while. Going without food or sleep for 30 hours is known as a prime method of 'mind flattening'. Playing with the mind's electrolyte balance along with peer pressure and addressing by figures of authority, followed by an intensley gruesome and graphic movie ..... THESE are CHILDREN!

I am interested in your take.

I think that's a terrible thing to do this to kids but the kids will listen to their parents and believe that what they say is right.

I certainly don't think this is the kind of movie to show to children...there is an "R" rating on it for good reason.

This movie and what people do with it will surely conjur up pleanty of controversy.

Agreed. For adults, I am sure it's a fine movie and more meaningful for some than others. But, I am troubled by how exclusionary this movie has already made Christians, specifically southern baptists. Exclusionary in that it has turned some I know into a mood of 'we are believers, YOU are a non-believer and to be frowned upon.' Not very Christian if you ask me.....

Stonecold, the bible never made any predictions. people misinterprit the book of Revelations to be a telling of how the world will end, while it isn't. the book of Revelation was written by John while he was imprisoned to give God's People faith who were also imprisoned.

Well I'm assuming that these kids these churches are taking are members of church am I correct? What kind of religion is that locking these kids in? I know when i was being confirmed catholic we had separate fundraisers and lockins for various reasons to help us know more about each other and we were in high school. lol I'm going to hell for this one, me and this chick hooked up in one of those lockins and we hooked up again on a retreat. Oh yea, we catholics are bad. lol I'm sorry, but anyways, what religion is this locking kids in so they can prove something to themselves?? I know the lockins and I had when I was young benefited me a little because I got some real close friends even though some of us got too close LOL.

But I can agree with you in your point that if you look at it, this church is placing this movie on them to probably scare them into religion possibly. I remember the movie The Omega Code was about armageddon and it was the same ordeal but it was a smaller movie and didn't attract that much attention unlike Passion of Christ that has Mel Gibson and alot of attention being paid towards it.
