ArchivedDeception of The Passion, Christians Read This... :: ReplyReply She was Jesus's mother! Of course she's going to be compassionate and loving toward her Son! That's what parents are supposed to feel in regards to their children!! Yes, He is the Son of God. But He was also Mary's baby. She carried Him in her womb for nine months (I assume). She gave birth to Him. She nurtured Him and watched Him grow. She did everything a mother should do. And remember, Jesus was a child once. And like all children, I'm certain that He fell, especially when He was learning how to walk. Remember, He was born into a human body. Humans fall down, go boom. (Some more than others, I'm afraid.) Some of the things Alan cited are, in my opinion, ridiculous concerns!! Is he aware that there were quite a few Biblical Scriptures that were taken out centuries ago? My father told me that he had watched a program on the History Channel that was discussing this very subject, and that the people who appeared in the program talked about Jesus correcting Joseph's carpentry-related mistake. (I'm not 100% sure, but I believe Joseph had cut a board that was too short, and Jesus made it longer. Maybe it was the other way around.) How does Alan know that Mary didn't hold Jesus' lifeless body in her arms? For all we know, that was covered in the uncut version of the Bible, but somebody took it out because they deemed it unimportant. Once again, please follow my advice: If you refuse to see the movie, refrain from offering an opinion about it, because you don't know enough to formulate an opinion. I'm waiting until I've seen this film (Hopefully soon) before I form an opinion. I chose to watch that movie with great reluctance. However, I think it made an excellent point: People tend to think that since God is an extremely powerful Deity, He should fix everyone's problems, and that if He fails to answer their prayers in the way they expect them to be answered, He's a fradulent, uncaring God. They also tend to think that His "job" is easy. This movie shows that it's far from easy. It's extremely difficult, and it really got through to me. Bravo, Michael! Couldn't have said it better myself. This comment really ruffled my feathers. I belong to a fundamentalist, non-denominational Christian church, and this film has been embraced by the church's pastor. He is not a "liberal pastor" who has "not held fast to sound Biblical doctrine." Once again, Alan has no idea what he's talking about, and he should just keep his opinions to himself until he's done some research. I agree with what carol_au said about the author's aversion to Catholicism. (Although I'm not ashamed to admit that there are certain aspects of Catholicism that bother me.) I feel that Alan's aversion to Catholicism led him to formulate certain bizarre, off-the-wall, some-would-say hateful opinions. |
