I think Mel Gibson's problems since then are a direct Satanic attack on him for making what, in my opinion, was the greatest most influential movie made in the young 21st Century. I think Gibson fell hard because I don't think he was properly protecting himself the way he should've (Eph. 6, the whole Armour of God).

However, the greatest thing about God is that He never lets go of us or gives up on us. He always gives us 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. chances. Perhaps the Lord was using Satan to sift Gibson and for him to rid himself of whatever earthly passions he might still have. It wouldn't surprise me if Gibson came back from wherever he's come from, spiritually stronger and humbler.

James Garner wrote that Mel Gibson was flaked out and often drunk when they made “Maverick” in 1994. His personal problems long predate “The Passion” ... they were just covered up better before he got on the wrong side of the Satanic left.

Thank you for your wisdom about this. I think that Satan was really angry and threatened by Gibson’s work, and so attacked him. That plus Satan likes to hunt trophies. When he can tempt and turn a good priest or other person it is a personal victory for him, a real feather in his cap so to speak. He’s all about him and his ego.

It’s a real b*%$h being cut off and separated from God.
