1 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | Rowdy | 114169 | ||
While I agree with most of the sentiment of your post, I'd like to remind you and everyone I was merely saying the lack of interest in that area from a christian might give cause for "wonder" to his closest friends. A close christian friend should feel free to be a loving brother enough to confirm their joint love for our Lord. If we were to practice that kind of close, personal relationship with our fellow christians, there would be a lot less fighting and arguing. What do you think? God bless. | ||||||

I did a little more study on this topic and would like to add another short supplemental post to that above. This area of Christianity is NOT talked about and practiced very much throughout the brotherhood but I'm afraid it's clear from God's Word that He expects us to be doing it. What am I talking about? Inspecting each other's fruit. Now, we are most certainly NOT to judge one another but we are expected to love our fellow christians enough to be concerned about their growth and maturity in the Lord. First of all, let me cite some passages and these are only a few. If you put any Bible search engine to work, you'll come up with many more but these are some of the best toward my point. Col 1:10, Tit 3:14, Heb 13:15, Jam 3:17-18, 2 Pet 1:8 So after thoughtful and careful consideration of these passages, one must conclude that yes, indeed our Lord expects us to encourage each other with love and genuine concern so that we are motivated to seek out a ministry and put our talents to good use for our Lord and Savior. All I'm saying after several years of being a christian, we should expect it of ourselves and our fellow family members to start putting to practice what we preach. Get out in the world and be that Light for God. Some people never even open their Bible, much less study and find out how to get into God's family. To those kind of folks, you and I must be the representation of God's Word to them. We must show them what we stand for and why; we SHOULD do this with genuine love and enthusiasim for their soul's sake. This is part of the commission of sharing the Gospel with the world. Well, I said short and once again I deceived myself; once I get cranked up it's tough to stop. Anyway, just wanted to share and God bless. |

3 | What about "The Passion of the Christ"? | Luke 24:14 | hannahc55 | 114244 | ||
I saw "The Passion of the Christ" a week ago, and have done much Biblical research since then, to find out how true this movie really IS to the Scriptures. So far, the one major flaw I see is the fact that the portrayal of Mary Magdalene (who is always stated in the Gospels as being with the mother of Jesus leading up to and at the foot of the cross) as the same woman who was caught in adultery (when Jesus drew the line in the sand). I see NO Scriptural basis for this connection between those two women. As far as seeing the movie in general, I would encourage believers and unbelievers alike to see it. It has impacted my life in an amazing way, and has renewed my own passion to share my faith more boldly. I would also encourage everyone to read "The Passion of Jesus Christ" by John Piper, which gives 50 Biblical statements of the purpose of why Christ had to die. I have been using this book as an evangelistic tool to give to people in my life who have or haven't seen the movie (seeing the movie is not necessary to understand the book). But I agree that seeing the movie should not be placed in any way as a "yard stick" of our maturity level or commitment to Christ. |
