Passion of the Christ

[Soulman]

I didn't feel the need to watch the movie. I've already read the book and know how it ends.

I judge movies based on their abiltiy to make me feel something.

This one most definately accomplishes that feat. I feel humble and thankful throughout it's entirety.

Back when that picture came out there was a lot of uproar about it. I sorta knew what the Romans were capable of forensicly speaking... but for years I was willing to think that that death night and day happened in the "real time" it took to read it.

Seeing things played out like that takes some "denial" away.

 

[MLRyan]

Yeah, that movie really guilts you into believing...

Agreed. Our pastor preached on how graphic it actually would have been based on his years of research on Roman crucifixions. At least this movie tried to portray it closer than any before have.

I need to find it for Blue-ray.

Awsome movie! To think that one man would go through that just so we could be forgiven for OUR sins, is what real love is. "By His stripes, we are healed:.

 

[Preacherman]

Your pastor sounds like a scholar. The movie is no where near what Christ actually went through. I watched it for the first time Saturday night. I think if I would watch it each time I am tempted to sin I think I would sin less.

Watched it for the first time the other day. It was an emotional experience for my wife and I.

I haven't seen it, but we did go to church Friday at noon for Stations of the Cross. No actors, but a lot of praying and remembering. I had never been, and have been a member of that Episcopal church since 1970. My wife wanted to go. I was glad after we went. Just kinda helps put you more where you're probably supposed to be. Our 8 year old was not so excited about it, but did have questions.

Intense movie. Once was enough for me. The scene with Judas reminded me of the line from Bob Dylan's "With God on Our Side."

In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side
