Tonight I went to go see the movie "The Passion of The Chirst". My mom told me that i should really see it and i had plans to see it way before she told me i really should see it. I went with Matt and honestly didnt know what to expect. But these were my thoughts during the movie, and what i got from it. All of you may not agree and that is ( Read more... )

I think that they repeatedly shows the reactions of Mary during the beating scenes just for that reason. So that people would think, 'what if that were my mother' or 'what if that were me watching my child' along with any other relationship. Not everyone will agree but I saw there also emotion being in his reason for going through all of that as well as his relationships.
Like any movie, you don't technically know him. I don't know the characters from 'A Walk to Remember' but it made me cry bunches...
Not really anything definitive here, just some thoughts. Interesting how many different peoples beliefs have been shared just because of this movie...

People were able to enter heaven BEFORE jesus died on the cross! They sacrificed animals before to repent of their sins. Infact, the bible lists a few people that went to heaven before jesus died on the cross.

True. They also sacrificed each other. But the cross is the final sacrifice. No longer do we need to kill.

Good discussion going. I'm actually writing a proposal this semester on religion and culture. So, I believe that I may be able to use some quotes from what has been said, and not in a degrading way(with permission, of course). My chosen topic will be written so that I may be able to open my eyes and not get pissed off when others tell me about what they think of religion. I'm the type that thinks I'm always right about religion and you're dumb if you don't listen to me. Well, maybe not so extreme.

I saw the movie on opening night. Everyone was silent with exception to the sniffles throughout. I cried long and hard. The cruelty of what those people did to Jesus was unbearable and the movie depicted the realism of it. Seeing him beat, nailed, and broken, I walked out of the theatre completely silent and deep in thought. This world is crazy and humans have issues, and yet Jesus still loves each of us. Am I the only one on a major guilt trip after seeing that? In any case, keep the faith. -Kayla

They say the following:
There truely was a man named Jesus of Nazareth. He performed miracles, healed the lame, gave the blind sight, etc... He was arrested for attempting to incite a riot, and he was sentenced to death and killed by way of crucifixion.
Most importantly the Bible gives eye witness account that three days after His death, Jesus was seen alive again. (In fact there were over 300 eye witnesses; Acts Chapter 15.)
Now, you know as well as I do, that if someone were on trial and there were 300 people that saw the individual commit the crime, it would be an open and shut case. Let me put it another way. If over 300 people saw O.J. Simpson murder his wife, it wouldn't matter if the glove didn't fit... he would be guilty.
