Last I viewed the film there were several Jews that came off quite well in that film. Jesus Christ being One.

As well, there were several Romans that came off quite badly.

Gibson said what he said. I'm not really surprised, it does fill in some blanks about why he would associate with Michael Moore of all people. Suddenly it clicks.

But, and I'm sure this disappoints you, I still stand besides TPOTC. And, no, I'm not an anti-semite. But I would advise you that a number of people are praising Oliver Stone's movie about the World Trade Towers. He's not exactly a committed Christian conservative wholeheartedly passionate about the Iraq war.

The movie isn't the man.

You evidently saw what you saw in the film. I don't share your view, and my "lying eyes" are unlikely ever do so...unless you can find frozen frames with messages hidden calling for the extinction of the Jews. Short of that, for a film you believe so anti-semitic...it's amazing just how removed from that message the vast majority that saw it came away with. For that vast majority that watched? Are now passionately standing as One with Israel. Guess it wasn't too effective huh?

I loved "The Passion of The Christ". I knew as soon I heard what had happened it would be used as an excuse to denigrate all the work that Mel Gibson ever did.

I'm willing to believe that we can make mistakes and later upon reflection realize what a terrible mistake we've made and REPENT. One of the lessons of the New Covenant is if you live under the law you will be judged as you've judged others.

Fortunately, Americans are decent people - which I cannot say of the Europeans. Jewish graves in Greece were ransacked after the film was shown.
