1 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | Aixen7z4 | 114071 | ||
What should believers do about the movie "The Passion of the Christ"? View it? Discuss it? Two disciples on their way to Emmaus were occupied with a similar subject matter. | ||||||
2 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | Rowdy | 114088 | ||
I can only tell you what our congregation is doing. Our elders have repeatedly asked us to first of all, go and see the movie, experience it for ourselves. Our preacher is seeing it this week and plans to preach about it this coming Sunday. Our elders are also strongly encouraging us to use this ideal opportunity to talk to our friends and loved ones, our co-workers, virtually everyone we know and open a dialouge so as to share Christ and the Gospel with them. I must admit it's very easy to do, I like to go to movies with my wife anyway and talk about the movie industry in a general sort of way. But this movie with its controversial background and the media hype does make this an ideal opportunity to show your faith, build up someone else's faith and share your faith with an unbeliever. Personaly, if a person doesn't take advantage of this golden opportunity, one would wonder about their committment and dedication. Don't you think we owe it to our God and to our fellow man to do this and do it with zeal and enthusiasm? What would be your thoughts on the matter? Anyone else? Let us all know. God bless. |

1 Cor 8:9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. Dear Rowdy, I appreciate your zeal. This movie may indeed provide an opening to share the gospel. However, some christians have 2nd commandment concerns. For them to view any movie that depicts Christ as an image would violate their conscience, and for a christian to act against consience is (for him) sin. John Pilgrim |

You make a very good point. I guess I hadn't considered that particular angle. Thanks for the reminder and God bless. | ||||||
