| Posted 1/26/2004 8:39 AM (GMT -6) |   | There seems to be alot of contraversy surrounding the film to come out on Ash Wednesday. I say God Bless all the press. The more people see this thing could mean more people showing up at our churches the following Sundays.
Could God use Hollywood to bring down some of the greatest strongholds of our time? | | Back to Top | | |

Also, reports have said that people on the set of the film were converting to Christianity and being healed.

| Posted 1/27/2004 10:15 AM (GMT -6) | | I expect graphic violence to be the sunbject of this film. It takes place solely during the twelve hours of the trial and crucifixtion of Christ.
No doubt the film will be emotional and I'm praying that God will use it to bring many a deeper understanding of the love of Crist.
The ADL(Anti-Defamation League) has had the biggest problem with this film because they argue that is portrays the Jews as the ones who killed Christ. That is understandable from a Jewish aspect. But what is most intrigueing is how hard it has been for Gibson to get this thing distributed. I'm talking about spiritual warfare.
I hope that the controversy around this film, specifically from Jewish interests, will bring a greater interest in the film from the Muslim world. This film is in the crosshairs of where Christians, Muslims and Jews part ways.
Doubtless there will be lengthy debates once the film has been released. Christians and Jews will have the spotlight on that. However, Christians, Jews and Muslims will all be watching this debate having considered the cross.
If you have friends who you know should see this film pray for them. I am interested to hear of any responses, especially from the Muslim community. I wonder if there are any of you who are Muslims who are planning on seeing this film.

The actor playing Jesus was struck least once (I don't remember if he was the one struck once or twice). No one was hurt though. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 1/28/2004 1:21 PM (GMT -6) | | Here's a thought...
I understand "jihad" is to most Muslims, a personal struggle. Christians think of it as "taking up you cross," denying your flesh," and more literally in spiritual warfare.
I also understand that the crucifixion of Isa (Jesus) is not accepted by Islam. There is however, some sentiment for martyrdom in Islam. The highest form of jihad is the personal struggle. Is it possible that Allah would desire to make jihad on behalf of mankind? Is it possible to understand the death AND resurrection of Isa as his jihad.
The Passion should be a film that will show God's love and mercy. I hope millions will see it who have never understood how an almighty God can love them. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 2/24/2004 5:13 PM (GMT -6) | | This film opens in two hours and it appears that there was little interest in this film (at least in this forum). I still expect that it will do well and I look forward to hearing the responses from those who have seen it.
Shalom! | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 2/25/2004 10:51 AM (GMT -6) | | I have a theory why this thread doesn't get much traffic. The folder "Tearing Down the Walls" is too far down the page. Its to far to scroll a mouse to over and over again.
Just a thought.
But! If the other Passion thread gets too theologically lofty for some, I hope others would like to post their personal reviews (or testimonies!!!) here.

Mystery! I don't know! I guess thats the way things are with the Spirit... Where did it come from? Where is it going? However, I'm sure glad God doesn't have an advisory board and board meetings and stuff like that.
But thank you Tigress for posting something here. I feel like I've been sitting on a pail over a 6 inch hole all day and oh! got a nibble.
Maybe there is something more specific you are asking.

Tigress,
Were you able to talk to some people after seeing the film? I would like to hear how that goes.
