LOL I wrote a nice long reply, then something happened and it was erased from my window. Sheesh. Well, I agree that Satan does NOT want Christ promoted, and I thought the devil shadowing Christ was an interesting potrayal of that. Christians for the longest time have forgotten about evil, but it does exits and the Bible says it takes form as well. Written 100+ years before Christ's birth, read Psalm 22 for description of his death. (Per a KVI caller) Also, excrucuating contains the root "cruci" from crucify. Interesting. I lived the movie and also heard that because the Romans allowed a man who lived after 40 lashes (scourging) to escape crucifixion, you will hear in the movie the guard stop at 39. This meant they wouls be able to kill Jesus on the cross. There is obviously no anti-semitism. It is only the God hating left howling their discontent. What The Passion shows is that Jesus is our King and so truly deserves our worship. Nice work Eala. I am going to see this agin this week so I'll come back and post again to your thread. :)

Is Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" really anti-Semitic?

I just saw the movie less than two hours ago. I can state that it is categorically not antisemitic. However, I'm certain that it is disturbing for some Jews. I think it disturbs some Jews not because of the fear of being persecuted but because of a misplaced fear of embarrassment or shame.

As many have said, all of mankind shares equally in the shame of what occurred.

One thing for sure, evil exists today as then and still we have much to learn though we comprehend litte. For truely, we know not what we do.

I came away with seeing Jesus as more of a warrior against evil as well as savior of souls. The movie also opens some deeper questions of what's really happening on other plains.

Great movie, makes you think, experience and feel uplifted in the end.

See it! - You'll be glad you did...
