 Thread: The Passion Of The Christ |
|
|
Have I got this right, someone is suggesting Mel Gibson is motivated by money, and this person hasn't seen the movie?
Anyone could question Terry Taylor's motives because he sells his records instead of giving them away for free.
What are you going to suggest next, that the movie is anti-Semitic?

My point is not to attack Mel as an individual. I'm attacking pop Christianity. If there is any one person who deserves credit for shaping my philosophy on the matter it would be Terry Scott Taylor (my hero 
). Look at the above lyrics and tell me if you agree or disagree. Then we'll be on the same page

I'm surprised that no one has commented on why Mel Gibson has made this movie. His focus was the Passion of Christ. Gibson's intent was not to make a comprehensive film of Jesus' life. Moreover, at least one of the flashback scenes were filmed after the film was originally completed.
Are there any Catholics on this board? Catholics are familiar with the 14 Stations of the Cross, which Catholics are encouraged to meditate on each Friday during Lent.
This film is the perfect meditation/substitute for the Stations of the Cross.
This film has driven me to one place, to the cross. It reminds me of why I became a Christian, and how little progress I have made. I have taken the gift of salvation way too lightly.
Mel Gibson's film has not entertained me. It has haunted me. It has forced me to reconsider how serious I am in my faith. Didn't Jesus say we should pick up our cross daily? This film forces me to deal with my daily sacrficie. And if I truly love Christ, I should love others as he loved me.
I will thank God for Mel Gibson tomorrow at Mass. How many of us are willing to lay it on the line the way Mel Gibson did in this film?
