The passion of Christ

<< < (4/6) > >>

Beloved:
For the record, I never said anyone WAS persecuting winner.  I asked if he FELT persecuted.  There is a difference.   I'd like to say more but it would be useless.

I do not understand this comment, I know that as I have written to Darren's thread that  I have not felt one hostel thought toward him, this is simply a discussion. If he felt persecuted, then I will be glad to end the discussion.

There is a saying that you cannot lead a horse to water.....but when he is thirsty he will go to it. All of us are struggling to find God's truth.  

I think it has been said time and time, mo one can show another person the light....it is only the Holy Spirit that will do this. He uses human beings like Ray to help.

Over the years this topic of the 'Passion" has come up, it is not new to those of us who have been here since the movie came out in 2006.  As far as I know it is not taboo subject. I gave Ray my copy of the movie with some other DVD , he had not seen this movie. I also told him there was no need to return it.  I did not need to see it again

What Dewey just post struck me.  I am from Ohio tonight on Channel 10 Columbus Ohio a young lady announcer 38 years old passed away of Cancer. She has a child 4 and 7. Her husband also. She worked till around Oct. of this year. She passed this morning. Over the years she worked we turned in to it for the local news. We all loved her like she was part of our family. To watch her valiant fight with it was so humbling.She always had a smile on her face. She did many things for people with cancer and diabetes among other diseases. She was a breath of fresh air in this world of evil. But, it made me think of all the people who suffer all over every day
that no one cries over. Sometime, ones in our own family never think we get lonely or have needs. I for one think go see them , or buy them a flower because after they are gone they know nothing. But, I also see the people who suffer and no one sees not the whole world. To me they are important to. Thats why I love everyone on here. I know in the short time I have been here I have felt love. Also, I do know its not like hearing the voice.

Ray  even mentioned that some would think he does not love the blind or should I say those in Babylon. After, all we are all going to be Brothers and Sisters and it does not get better than that.

In His Love,
Marlene

Darren,

I agree with Scarletwren.  I believe this movie had it's purpose also.  I think people don't understand the magnitude of the pain and suffering which Christ endured.  I confess, I taught religion and I asked the class if they thought Christ actually felt pain and they answered NO because he was God.  I knew that would be their answer that's why I asked the question.  So this movie shows people that Christ was MAN, just like we are.  He suffered as we suffer.  I think that's an important point when coming to know Christ.

As far as the money made from this movie, it was unexpected.  Mel Gibson shelled out the money from his own earnings to make a movie no one wanted to touch with a ten foot pole.  I admire him for that and the actors that took a chance on perhaps not even being paid if the movie was a flop.  They believed in what they were doing even if they are somewhat blind.  Everyone has been blind at some point in their lives but somehow some forget that.  Maybe just maybe this movie opened up some eyes and brought them into the light.  Who are we to judge God's intentions?

OK already! I do not feel persecuted in anyway shape or form. This was not to be a heated post. All I wanted to say was if Christ was beaten JUST half as bad as it was depicted in that movie, WOW! I was shocked. I meant to make a statement that's all. I didn't ask  if y'all like or did not like the movie or if y'all seen or not seen the movie or if y'all like Mel Gibson or not. I did however want to know what y'all thought about Judas. If y'all thought it is just as I (I) have been taught through the system. A betrayer. This is what I wanted to convey. If I conveyed more than this I am sorry.

Darren

PS thanks eileen
