I am worried about this film, and sorry that it has inflamed the unnecessary war between people who fear anti-Semitism (a realistic fear) and the people who feel that their Christian religion is under attack everywhere (which it is).

Human beings will fight about anything, but the gasoline of a powerful film does not have to be added to the flames. Gibson is really just a celebrity, like the left-wing ones we are always pooh-poohing. He does not have the learning and the spiritual depth to have given us new insight into Christ. I fear he has caused trouble instead of advancing the kingdom of God.

What type of gnostic garbage are you spewing?

You are absolutly correct. And I believe Mel would agree, he's just a man.

He does not have the learning and the spiritual depth to have given us new insight into Christ.
I doubt very much if he is trying to bring new insights into Christ. He doesn't have to in order for the movie to have an impact(whice is what all serious film makers strive for). All he has to do is tell the story, and leave the "deep insights" up to those of us sitting in the theater.

Your post has got to be the most ridiculous one yet regarding Mel Gibson and The Passion...You need to do more research before you speak about this.

You must not understand Christianity at all. You haven't even the start of a clue. See the movie and learn something.

Gibson isn't really giving us any new insight of the Gospels. In fact he's trying to be as faithful to the Gospels as he can be.

I don't think we need to have a bunch of letters after our name to interpret the word of God.

He's a devout Christian trying to share his faith to others. If we were in his position, would we not do the same?

See the film, and then decide for yourself if he has advanced the kingdom of God.

From what I have seen, I think it will be a movie that all others like it will be judged.

God Bless!
