The Resurrection scene is perhaps the shortest in the entire movie - and yet it packs a punch that can't be quantified. It is perfect. There is no way to negotiate the meaning out of it. It simply asks, "Now, what will you do?"

I don't know that I could bear to see a film of it. 11 posted on 02/05/2004 4:01:06 PM CST by MissAmericanPie

I have difficulty just reading the Scriptures where they describe what He suffered for me. 13 posted on 02/05/2004 4:03:05 PM CST by GretchenEE

I hope that I will be able to sit through it when I do see it. 14 posted on 02/05/2004 4:08:14 PM CST by PleaseNoMore

MILLIONS of us supporting this project and Mel Gibson should be a strong testimony to those who have persecuted him ever since this project was announced. There are times when it's important to stand up and be counted. 19 posted on 02/05/2004 4:43:56 PM CST by kittymyrib

I don't want to see this movie, yet I MUST see this movie, however difficult it may be. I too cry when I read the scriptures of His suffering. I know it will be agony to watch, but I will do it for Him so that I will have a more realistic sense of His suffering. 27 posted on 02/05/2004 6:53:49 PM CST by WVNan

I definitely plan to see it, but should I bring my children? They are 8 and 5? I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this issue. Thanks! GG 36 posted on 02/05/2004 10:03:28 PM CST by GatorGirl

Rated R, GatorGirl, so, if you decide not to take 'em, get the DVD so they can see it when they are mature enough.

If you can't bear to read this; APU -- In Focus -- The Science of the Crucifixion Cahleen Shrier, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Biology and Chemistry, you probably will have to turn your head more than once The Passion of the Christ, official Web site.

I haven't entered a Movie Theatre since 1987. I will see this one.

Thanks Fed.

I hadn't planned to take them, but I wanted to see if anyone would try to persuade me to!!!

No one has so I'm relieved....It's interesting, before your post only the college kids weighed in and both said probably don't take them.

Don't worry, I'm not a parent who allows my children to see rated R films, although my son, a former dinosaur fanatic started watching the Jurassic Park movies when he was three or so. He assured us that he knew it was "movie magic" since dinosaurs were "stinked". We don't even watch TV, but we do have a DVD player and watch movies once in a while.

Have a great evening! GG
