Know this, I have seen this movie and will not endorse it.
All born-again blood-washed children of God should be offended!
I pray that people stop supporting it!
If you haven't seen it yet then avoid it!! I would ask you to answer
the questions I have listed that are in dispute concerning the movie.
God preserved his word through the centuries for a reason. It has all that we
need, nothing more nothing less!
The Gospels written in your Bible are more than adequate to do it.
Search the scriptures.
The Bereans were commended for doing so!
Please do not compromise your faith by saying, "yes the movie is flawed but," or
"yes he assumed some things for the film but," or "The end justifies the means."
God will not use idolatry in an effort to save souls! God is a Holy and Jealous
God, and he is not mocked, he will remember where you stand concerning this
movie.
I was told by a man that Mel Gibson used minor artistic license,
then I ask the following questions given the fact that Mel Gibson said
that he based the movie in part on the Gospels:
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err,
not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
As it was then, so it is
today.

I ask these questions because the Bible has said what needed to be said and nothing more.
The Bible is not a picture book accept to the mindseye. We were given the necessary details
and the rest was left out for good reason and one day we can ask God why, but for now lets not
add to, or take away from the greatest book ever written.
The biggest problem with people today is that we have no idea what the Bible says.
We only know and remember what we have seen, and that is the error Satan uses.
We are ignorant so we start to believe the traditional stories and then we pass
them down to our kids and when someone points out our error and says "Where does
it say in the Bible thus and so." When the error is mentioned most people then
will argue that "it does not matter if its not in there" or if "it says some thing
close to that" or "we can assume that happened". I simply say emphatically,
"IT MATTERS TO GOD!!!!!!!!!!"
He would not have preserved his word for centuries if we could just assume and
presume and make up things to fill in the story as we see fit to do.
While it is true that the Bible does not tell us everything that happened
that day, IT DOES TELL US EVERYTHING GOD WANTS US TO KNOW THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY!
I am not talking about your daily private meditation at home. We all meditate upon
the word that we read at home but a hollywood movie is not the same! This movie
was presented to the masses as gospel and it is idolatry and blasphemy rolled
into an emotional rollercoaster that shrouds a flawed gospel and another Jesus.
Click the link above to read the Dolorous Passion online and see the proof.
In some instances the movie was word for word what is in this book.
It is NOT gospel! It is not the BIBLE!
If this is what Mel believes and are representative of what he believes,
then he needs to read the bible as written, not the deluded visions of a mystic.
Mel used the Bible too, or so he said but I don't believe him.
I guess he skipped the second commandment part.
Oh yeah, I forgot that he is a conservative Catholic, Idolatry is not frowned
upon by the Catholic Church.
In a recent interview with an Australian newspaper, Gibson mused about whether
his wife, an Episcopalian, would enter heaven. "There is no salvation for those
outside the (Catholic) Church," he told the Herald Sun. "I believe it.
"And it's just not fair if she doesn't make it, she's better than I am.
But that is a pronouncement from the chair (papacy). I go with it."
Together: The Christian Mission in the Third Millennium" are "CT" editors and
contributors) supplied the following:
Mel Gibson told "CT": "I've been actually amazed at the way I would say the
evangelical audience has--hands down--responded to this film more than any
other Christian group." What makes it so amazing, he says,
"is that the film is so Marian."
Catholic traditions are destroying the Bible God gave us
and destroying the protestant churches that have made this country the greatest
on earth!
Make sure you use the Bible to prove all things, it is profitable to do so.
Let no man be responsible for your soul except Jesus. Be like the Bereans
of Acts 17:11, they searched the scriptures daily to verify what they were told.
Your soul is on the line, and remember that you have only have a single lifetime
to make a choice.
You have but a short time left to choose.
I found the following picture, I think the image of an upside down cross speaks volumes!
I was told it was a reference to Peter being crucified upside down but I don't remember
the Bible mentioning Peter in Rome although Paul did go and never mentioned seeing
or hearing about what Peter did there, very strange.
He professes to speak for Jesus yet his throne tells another story.
