Bottom Line: 'The Passion' = 'The stations of the Crucifix.'

Did any of the events in the Catholic stations of the cross not happen? Are they not in the Bible?

Reality,.....Jesus suffered for 'sins' because of/for completed salvation once (1 time ended!)

You'll get no argument on this from any Christian.

(Salvational-sin-suffering-was-ON-THE-CROSS)

Does that mean that nothing leading up to that point matters?

Christian focus is in it's completion/ending/finished....Our sins have been PAID IN FULL. (The SIN-PENALITY is PAID in FULL)

That's our only focus? Then why do we have so much more in scripture?

This point is in Jesus' DEATH and FINISHED BLOOD SHEDING!

Which is exactly what Gibson is showing in this film.

The Cross suffering/death of Jesus is OVER.

Yep!

He is NOT suffering for our sins ANYMORE!

Agreed!

'The Passion' = 'The stations of the Crucifix'.

Again I ask, are not the stations directly from scripture?

:-( Martin Luther is Rolling Over!

Is it important to please Luther?

Thank you for taking time to post those pertinent points, and an interesting question as well.   FReegards.

Actually, the station where Veronica wipes the face of Christ revealing the miraculous Mandylion isn't in the Bible.
