movie: passion of the christ[views:11570][posts:63]________________________________ [Mar 15,2004 4:48pm - morkul ""] davyp said:BornSoVile said:just got back from seeing it with Ma. it was really good and better than I expected. it hasn't converted me from my beliefs in the slightest bit. I agree with Ninkaszi, it portrays them not only as bad but stupid, the best example was when they freed barbarra. you can see where some people say queers brought down the romans when you see king herod. i think the earthquake when the tear/raindrop falls is bullshit and never happened. the torture scene wasn't that bad, the entire movie is a great display of ancient torture as well the usually idiodic (sp? :p) trial process people faced. worth seeing again and I'm tempted to buy it on dvd. Hail Gibson. King Herod was a Hebrew King..... He has a Jewish name and was of hebrew/jewish blood..... and "Queers" were no the reason that rome fell, thats religious dogma, Rome fell after the Huns destroyed Constantinople in the 8th century prior to that Rome was falling apart at the seems anyway, too many leaders and the empire was too big... back to the movie, I dont think this movie portrayed the jews as bad or stupid... I dont think the movie was anti-semetic at all. It showed the greed/lust of the Jewish people of this time. They were starving for freedom from the Romans and wanted to make everything right witht the romans and when Jesus came into play they saw him as threat to there way of life and their ties to the romans. They did not persicute jesus because he thought he was the king of man, they persicuted him for politcal reasons. Jesus could have taken Jerusilem days prior to the crucifiction with the army his diciples gathered days prior, but jesus knew (hypetheticly) that had to die so that no more blood shed was to happen and the Jews seeing him as a threat to their way of life had him killed because they knew he was powerful... and the Barabbas scene showed the actual inteligence of the Jewish hirarchy. they knew they needed to destroy Jesus. releasing a rapist and murder that would end up back in prison for another crime later down the road was a smart move, They killed two birds with one stone, knowing the he would end up back in prison and Jesus was no more. It was a political murder and nothing more.. Mel Gibson portrayed that wonderfuly. :skull: Couldn't of said it better myself. Amen to someone with a mind.:bow: |

Sucks being "that kid" who makes an ass out of himself :ralphie:. I didn't really think the movie strived to prove the fact that Jesus was killed for a political reason. In fact I think it only prooves that he was killed for being a "king" while at the same time a somewhat "delirious fool". However, I want to see this flick again so I can come to a better conclusion, fucking jesus. |

The two left the movie theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity was human or symbolic, and the argument heated up when they got home, Melissa Davidson said. "It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," she said. Davidson, 34, and her husband, Sean Davidson, 33, were charged with simple battery on March 11 after the two called police on each other. They were released on $1,000 bail. According to a police report, Melissa Davidson suffered injuries on her arm and face, while her husband had a scissors stab wound on his hand and his shirt was ripped off. He also allegedly punched a hole in a wall. "Really, it was kind of a pitiful thing, to go to a movie like that and fight about it. I think they missed the point," said Gene McDaniel, chief sheriff's deputy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2004 The Associated Press.

| ____________________________________ [Dec 25,2004 11:21pm - ArrowHead ""] 1. The movie doesn't make Jews look bad. It makes the ROMANS look bad. It makes GOD look bad. 2. The movie is very good about being faithful to the violence and torture christ endured. However, like all christian propaganda, it ignores the actual biblical accounts of christ and instead paints him as a peaceful, loving individual who is here only to save and redeem us. Read the bible, guys. Christ was deceptive, endorsed violence, and will ultimately inflict torture, violence, and damnation upon the human race in it's entirety. 3. This movie is nothing but hype. It contains little of the teachings of christ, nor does it explain the divine motivation of the events within it's script. It merely exists to motivate faith through guilt, a common tact within the roman church gibson belongs to. Before being swayed by any of that shit, remember: Jesus kills and tortures all the members of the church right after he destroys america. I can't believe people would waste their time putting actual thought and reflection into this film. Try reading the bible yourself instead of just observing the beliefs of someone else who read it for you. |

The holy trinity(s) are the most misunderstood things in todays churches. The holy trinity is NOT symbolic, it's literal. The "good" trinity is GOD, creator and omnipotent deity, JESUS, human offspring of david and mary (that's right, there was no "immaculate" conception, he just had an angel for a father) who held the wisdom and power of GOD, and the holy spirit, which is the "word of god", or the force that drives people to accept christ as savior. The "bad" trinity consists of Satan, the form Lucifer the first creation takes after accepting free-will, The anti-christ - a human who will bring peace to the world under pretense of being the messiah, and the false prophet, who will drive people to worship the anti-christ as the true messiah. |
