Straw man; I never made such a claim. I said that Gibson used unconventional marketing tactics to garner millions of dollars worth of free publicity. The film would have been just as successful at the box office had it been promoted the same way most other movies are -- but it would have cost much more to do so. Since Gibson was footing the bill himself, he obviously had an incentive to get the most bang for his marketing buck.

Still nonsense! I understand what you are assuming about Gibson, but you can know no such thing, it is merely a guess on your part and from all you have posted here it sure seems you do not like Gibson, his movie. The free publicity was thanks to those who did want this movie out and the reason they did not want it out was they hate Christ!

God wanted people to see Mel Gibson's movie?

Yep! It has a clear accurate message taken right from the gospel of Christ about His Son The Messiah and His gift of salvation for all people who are separated from God by their sin. That is His message and to get it out in such a large and powerful way would be clearly His intent.

Are there any other movies God wants people to see?

There have been some others that also have His message of salvation and glorify Jesus Christ the Messiah.

Not only is antisemitism a ongoing problem but anti-Christ-ism is growing to new proportions.

This continuing campaign of bashing Gibson and the movie "The Passion of The Christ" and/or attacking those who speak publicly in favor of Gibson and his movie or speak publicly against those who attack Gibson and the movie, is nothing less than hatred towards Jesus Christ as the Messiah of all people.
You are free to choose Jesus or not as the Messiah, He does not force Himself on anyone. But whether Jew or gentile, we who follow Christ [both Jew and gentile] are not fooled by why you bash Gibson or his movie. It is the same kind of hatred that anti-semities have towards Jews.

It will not stop me speaking out against anti-semities or being Pro Zionist or keeping my Jewish friends [some who are anti-Christ] but I [and other Christians] see clearly why you do this. Jesus said He would be hated because He is the Messiah and that the same people would hate His people.

So save your phoney arguments that have all the merit of left wing nut jobs who hate and attack America or Conservatives or Christians or Jews and Israel. The big difference you attack your friends who will endure your hatred because of the love Christ and continue in their love of Jews and Israel because we are commanded to by God and because it is right...and not for the many baloney reasons we have heard like we want to convert all Jews to Christ or it is Christian plot to conquer Israel..etc...

And yes there are left wing ant-semitic Jews that hate Israel and all it stands for, and that is what Lapin was saying.
