2. Can we not just celebrate that this movie was made at all and opened all over the US? That there was enough money available that it could be made? That someone had the vision and the fortitude to push through that vision to a finished product? That many people worked and got paid making it? Are these not amazing in their own right? But no, the Christians must tear it apart. “The doctrine is not perfect, it’s lame, it doesn’t xx, it includes xx.”
2. Not all Christians tore it apart. The Catholic Church's view was favorable, what I read, of course.
The people who made this movie ARE amazing. They wrote a GOOD film about Jesus in the TEETH of all the opposition, criticism and negativity they KNEW they would get.
3. I look forward to the day when Christians can unify as a subset within a dark culture, represent Christ to our lost brethren, and simply celebrate amazing attempts to bring Light to this dark world.
3. That will happen on the last day of the world. Our human nature, as Abraham Lincoln said, can be modified to some extent, but cannot be changed.
THAT is why we NEED Jesus so much.
“The people who made this movie ARE amazing. They wrote a GOOD film about Jesus in the TEETH of all the opposition, criticism and negativity they KNEW they would get.”
The people who made this movie know Christian movies sell. It was hyped to the church, (who jumped at the chance at someone else ‘evangelizing’ for them). They are are laughing all the way to the bank, along with Rick Warren (whose cirriculum is already on its way to supplement their version of the truth)
Haven’t you been reading the posts? They are not what they seem to be. What is disturbing is that church leaders excused the omission of basic tenets of our faith and called it good.
