Now let’s be fair...it’s really casting Batman as Moses. Which sounds cooler that it is probably.
Do you have to be stoned to figure out what you said?
Why avoid a rehash of Cecil B. DeMille’s excellent The Ten Commandments? That movie made no effort to ridicule faith, hope, or love, and it was great entertainment that (mostly) told the story from the Bible.
With modern special effects, this could have been a great movie too, but the atheist director had priorities unrelated to providing good, positive entertainment. It’s a shame too, but it would be a bigger shame to pay for the movie and thus reward him, or expose our children to his product.
You are so right.
I certainly have no intention of paying good money to see this film. I havn’t seen a movie in a theater in over 30 years and I’m not going to start now.
At some point it will be available on cable for free and maybe I’ll check out the special effects on my 42” Vizio HD TV. That will be the extent of my interest.
Yes
Especially since we don't know what His voice sounds like.
Reminds me of a story:
A 1st grade teacher had the students drawing pictures as part of the day's sessions. Little Johnny was intently drawing, nose close to the paper and tongue darting at the corner of his mouth. He was so intent and focused that the teacher went over to see what he was drawing. She couldn't tell for sure, so she asked, "Johnny, what are you drawing?" He replied, "I'm drawing a picture of God." She thought for a second and said, "Johnny, nobody knows what God looks like." He responded, "That's because I haven't finished the picture yet."
The Israelites didn’t found Jerusalem, it was in existence before they made it their capital.
That’s very good! The refreshingly simple explanation of a child.
Agreed.
I really did want to see this one, but a Catholic review posted here on FR said that Moses goes up on the mountain and gets struck on the head by a rock (or something similar), and goes unconscious. So the film implies that God speaking to Moses is a dream or hallucination.
Yeah, the special effects look great, but they’re not worth it to me. I can see good CGI in other movies.
You misunderstood me. Jesus who came as a babe most certainly is God, but my image of God playing opposite Moses would NOT be a child. IMO, the I AM, if I could even see Him would be about 30, the age Jesus was when He started His ministry and was crucified.
Also, I don’t believe Jesus did any miracles until the day He turned the water into wine.
I’m not saying that these miracles happened before his resurrection or even before the Wedding at Cana.
What I am saying is that throughout the world, the Santo Bambino, Santo Nino, is held very dear by many cultures from Prague to the Philippines. People have prayed, and miracles have happened.
Bob and Penny Lord have a book on the Child Jesus.
Yet if you read in Revelation, Jesus is older, has white hair and a white beard and is sitting on a throne. Often people mistake the description of Christ as God the Father.
In that coif?
I don’t understand your question.
Can you add some context?
Thx. :)
I didn’t take the white hair as a sign of age but as a sign of purity..... God is ageless.
Agree. Don’t think He has wrinkles either.
I would like to acknowledge all the informative comments on the thread by people who did not see the movie. Unbelievable!
What are you talking about? Sure we veered of topic slightly, but we were still discussing God, Who happens to be a character in the movie. Personally I wasn’t referring to the movie.
Why respond to a comment which doesn’t apply to you then?
I never said anything about veering off topic.
