I honestly believe you will miss something of immense spiritual experience if you don't go. God has anointed this film and He's going to use it in a great and mighty way to get the 'Word' out. Please go see it and take people you know who don't know the Lord. Maryxxx

What I may have to do is rent it on videotape and fast forward through some of the scenes.

It may be extremely valuable for everyone to discover exactly what price was paid for our redemption. You might see your value in God's eyes much more profoundly, or discover a love for Jesus deeper than you've known. Bring it on Mel.

I understand your point. I don't think that watching gore will ever increase my appreciation for the price that was paid . . . and if you get right down to it, the torture and execution were together just 1/3 of the total burden Jesus took: He took the world's sin into Himself (which as unfathomable as it may seem, was far worse than the physical torture) and He spent my time in Hell, paying for my sins.
At any rate, I'm not sure what good it does me to go, then cover my eyes for 30 minutes.

Sounds like a plan. I do hope you can sit through it all though. I believe great things are going to be happening IN people when they see this film. I haven't been this excited about a film in years! I sat through Quo Vadis 13 times and that was before I even knew the Lord.I was being drawn to God even then. Love, Mxxx

LS: I almost didn't buy Braveheart for the same reason.. I just had to stop the movie and not watch it.
Mel Gibson makes things seem too real doesn't he... I totally understand what you are feeling. I will force myself to sit through this movie because it will give me a more 'real' sense of what Jesus did go through for us.
truthandlife, thank you so much for posting this..

If you haven't seen it, I recommend a movie called "The Rapture" with Mimi Rogers. I think it captures (in R-rated form, at times) the hopelessness of sin, and the inability of some people to "forgive God" for stuff that PEOPLE do. Even so, I think it has some profound spiritual truths.

To have a share in the suffering of Christ is an experience for participating as soldiers of Christ. An experience I eagerly look forward to with expectation
