People,.... we need to stop griping! When we get a movie about Jesus or God, or some other Biblical story, please stop nitpicking. If the story doesn't stray so far that it is just heretical, then take it and move on.

No, no no! Neither the Lord nor His chief theologian Paul did not need testimony from demons. (Mk. 3:11,12; Acts 16:16-18)

A 60/40 truth/error arraignment will not do. The liberties as well as the pseudo spirituality Hollywood typically takes works to distort the message to a all-too-ignorant public more than covey it.

It is not impossible to make a movie that if faithful to the text, and which should be at the bottom of the screen to differentiate btwn it and the reasonable conjecture, without needing to add the things Hollywood feels it must do.

And usually it has men trying to be spiritual by acting and walking as if they were walking on eggshells. At least "The Apostle" to genuinely portray the subjects, and even included real Pentecostals, although it overemphasized the emotion vs the cause of it.

And the men playing Christ in the passion and other movies all utterly fail to covey the majesty and holy magnetism of Christ, and would be better off not trying.
