THE NATIVITY STORY
Michael Westfall's...THE AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE WORKER ^ | 11-17-2006 | TED BAEHR

Posted on 11/19/2006 4:20:26 AM PST by carolgr

THE NATIVITY STORY is the best movie about the birth of the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ since nativity movies were first produced in the 1890s – THE BEST. If you want you children and grandchildren to know Jesus Christ, please go see THE NATIVITY STORY. THE NATIVITY STORY is captivating, compelling, and entertaining! It is a sacred movie full of Divine Revelation that is theologically sound and that never veers into contentious doctrinal issues. It is solid, faithful, soul stirring, engaging, and uplifting. The PASSION was great and won the prestigious MOVIEGUIDE® Epiphany Prize, but is also too violent for children. THE NATIVITY STORY is great for children of all ages! THE NATIVITY STORY is the one movie you will want everyone to see. There are a lot of low-budget Christian movies being distributed, but THE NATIVITY STORY is a high-quality, exceptional Hollywood movie that proclaims Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the Christ, the Messiah, and the sacrifice for each person’s sins. It does not get any better than this! When Target, stores, schools, communities, and the world is taking Jesus Christ out of Christmas, THE NATIVITY STORY clearly tells everyone that Jesus is the Reason for the Season! This Hollywood movie from New Line Cinema must do well when it opens on Dec. 1, 2006, or Hollywood will say that THE PASSION was a fluke. Hollywood has finally put Jesus Christ back into Christmas – Will you?

I saw the Passion and will be seeing The Nativity, but I will never understand why this same outfit distributed The Death of A President.

It just does not go with the image they have promoted.

Unless it is produced, written, and have Christian Actors I REFUSE to fork money over to HELLywood! I for one am NOT a sheeple who can easily be manipulated by their greed by using christianity to create a blockbuster flick before year's end! I refuse to give them that pleasure and HUGH bonuses!!

Thanks for your comments. I certainly agree that Hollywood has been instrumental in the destruction of our culture. On the other hand Dr. Ted Baehr is a Christian Hollywood insider who has given this movie a huge thumbs up and I am going to see it.The last movie that I went to see was Gibson's Passion but I and my family will see The Nativity Story next month.I believe that it is important to send a powerful message to Hollywood to get back to family movies.
If we don't support decent movies they won't make them.

"If we don't support decent movies they won't make them."

Amen. That is why this one is being made. "The Passion" proved that we are out here. I am really only watching these kind of movies, and the animated ones (with my granddaughter).

I'm tired of the gore, filth and lies promoted by most Holywood movies.

Didn't you go see Facing The Giants? OMG! Go go go. It was absolutely uplifting and inspiring and amazing and there was NOTHING in it to offend even the youngest member of the family.

It took forEVER for it to come to New Hampshire, but it was so worth the wait.

It's okay to show this movie in a local theater as long as there is no Ten Commandments on the wall or in the lobby.

We went to see "One Night With The King" yesterday, which was wonderful, and saw the posters for "The Nativity." We are looking forward to seeing that, too.

Yes, it is. Thanks--I've updated my tag line. It came to me a few days ago--this is really what we need these days in the USA. It's the only way out of the mess we created for ourselves:

"... If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Politicians aren't the answer, laws aren't the answer, money isn't the answer. Only God has the answer!

I have to comment on this as I saw the trailer for this movie at the theater. I am a little concerned as to how they show Mary learning of her mission from the angel Gabriel. My Bible tells me he came and spoke to her as follows (Luke Chapter 1):

The Birth of Jesus Foretold
 26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."

 29Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end."

 34"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"

 35The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God."

 38"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her.

End Bible Quote.

But from the trailer, Mary seems to be hearing Gabriel in her head, as if she was having a psychotic episode! I hate when they do this, and I've seen it in a number of films. The Word of God, as spoken to Moses, or Jesus, etc, seems like a faint whisper, or blowing breeze.... They make it seem as if a lunatic is hearing it. I don't like this at all.

Good point. I still want to see "A Night With the King" if it is still playing in my area.
