"But these accusers apparently have the luxury of picking their sins, regardless of the teaching of he who they claim to serve."

"I've seen this scenario for too many years in the political arena. Uncorroborated charges reported as gospel truth, resulting in the defamation of good and honorable men."

This is so true all to often we are ready to cast the first stone when we ourselves live in glass houses. We don't bother to get the whole story and jump to conclusions when only hearing parts of the story.

I have not seen this movie yet, but I will.

I have seen the wonderful DVD called "Through the Gates of Splendor" that is a documentary of the actual event that goes into great detail about what really happened.

You can rent it at Blockbuster or other places.

It is one of the most powerful things I have watched since Mel Gibson't "The Passion of the Christ." Please rent it.

Great post and words by Rep Watts - thanks.

"End of the Spear" and J.C. WATTS both have class.

Correction, the correct title is "Beyond the Gates of Splendor."

Movie description An award-winning documentary with a message of forgiveness, BEYOND THE GATES OF SPLENDOR is a powerful example of the beauty of Christ's love. The story of the conversion of the Waodani Indians, a violent tribe living in isolation in Ecuador, is both tragic and inspiring. Over 50 years ago, in 1965, a group of five missionary families traveled to the jungles of Ecuador, intent upon the conversion of its people. All five of the men on the expedition were brutally slaughtered by the Indians, but in the aftermath, the wife and sister of one of the slain men came to live with the Waodani, eventually educating them in the ways of Christianity. Later, one of the men's sons came to join his mother there as well, in a startling, affecting gesture of love.

It didn't really bother me that a couple of the actors in "Chariots of Fire" were Homosexuals. It would have, if they had been pushing that agenda tho.

It was a great movie imo. I would have preferred they be straight but so what?

[Mr. Brightside]

I look forward to seeing the movie with my kids.

And I do not plan on telling them that one of the actors is a homo.

Most people, like me, would not have even known it was it not for the conservative "blogosphere."

gays, tax cheats, philanderers and even gluttons on the sets of "Chariots of Fire," "The Passion of The Christ," "The Chronicles of Narnia," and probably even "The Ten Commandments

I will see this movie if it comes to my area.

However, I can see why christians boycott the film. It's because the gay agenda has so saturated our culture, they are sick and tired of it.

Gays are far from discriminated against these days. Rather, they are given special rights and appointed to positions of political power over many of us just because they are gay. This was not true in the time of the films JC cites above.

Christians attacking other Christians in the full view of the pagan press.
What ever happened to Colossians 3:13 and a multitude of other verses that teach about conduct within the family of God?
The accusation has been raised that Christians are the only group of people that shoot their wounded in time of war. Sometimes it seems that is an accurate assessment.

See the movie! It contains the work of flawed human beings portaying the lives of heroes of the faith.

Most Americans are, brace yourself, idiots. They pay to watch CNN. Why should it be surprising that they'd pay to sit in a filthy theater and watch similar garbage? Barnum would have been proud of the concession angle.

"Actor-producer Chad Allen opens up about his good works, why
boosting gay causes is especially important at the holidays, and the, blessings he's received since coming out two years ago"

The movie has definitely served as his best platform to date, for a committed gay activist the movies starring role opens up a new venue, for interviews reaching audiences that before would never have heard his eloquent efforts to persuade people to embrace the gay life. Even good people make bone headed mistakes, hiring a quiet homosexual for the part may have revealed a naivety, considering that in this time of battle with the gay power movement it may have been seen as an endorsement, but to put an activist in the role, knowing in promoting the film he would be proselytizing his agenda seems like a huge blunder.

We are all sinners. If this film makes a powerful statement about the Gospel and how Jesus Christ can change lives, it ought to be seen.
