As a matter of fact. I was just stating in another post that the movie has given me a stronger desire to "love thy enemies". I doubt very seriouly that I'll be able to explain this as clearly as I'd like, but according to Eph. 6:10-12, my battle is not with flesh and blood. I believe that the adversary can use people to accomplish his will. He uses them as vessels. To watch all those people yelling for Jesus' crucifixion in the courtyard of the movie, just ate me up. We as Christians need to love one another as commanded by Jesus. For if we don't show the world love, true love, who will?? The adversary?? I believe he'll be getting his chance soon, and according to scripture, he messes it up big-time!! |

My Bible teacher sent me this, I haven't seen the movie yet: I went to see this movie over the weekend and this movie is full of fiction and biblical errors. See article below. Sig. SOME THINGS IN MEL GIBSON’S MOVIE THAT ARE ADDED TO THE BIBLE ACCOUNT [Many of the quotes from Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions are from The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, as collected by Tim Challies.] * The soldiers begin beating Jesus even in the Garden of Gethsemane. * As they are escorting Jesus after his arrest, the soldiers throw Jesus off of a bridge by massive chains; he falls onto the rocky ground below and is then brutally yanked him back up again. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “I saw our Lord fall twice before he reached the bridge, and these falls were caused entirely by the barbarous manner in which the soldiers dragged him; but when they were half over the bridge they gave full vent to their brutal inclinations, and struck Jesus with such violence that they threw him off the bridge into the water.”) * Jesus confronts Judas after his arrest when he is hung off of the bridge. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * Jesus is imprisoned in a room under the temple. * Herod calls Jesus a fool and demands that he be given the homage of a fool. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “But he spoke in the most contemptuous manner to Jesus, and turning to the guards and servants who surrounded him, and who were about two hundred in number, said: ‘Take away this fool, and pay him that homage which is his due; he is mad, rather than guilty of any crime.’”) * The Roman soldiers call Jesus “King of worms” and “wormy king.” * The soldiers hammer the crown down on Jesus’ head, but the Bible says nothing about this. * Mary is near Jesus all during His suffering. The Bible says nothing about this. * During the scourging Mary says to Jesus, “My son, when, where, how will you choose to be delivered of this?” * Mary interacts with Pilate’s wife and appeals to her to protect Jesus from the angry crowd. There is not a hint of this in Scripture. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * Pontius Pilate’s wife gives some cloths to Mary. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “ “I saw Claudia Procles, the wife of Pilate, send some large pieces of linen to the Mother of God.”) * Mary and Mary Magdalene wipe up Jesus’ blood after He is whipped. (This is from Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions. “Then it was that the Mother of Jesus, accompanied by the holy women, approached the pillar and wiped up the blood with which it and the ground around were saturated.”) * A young woman tries to give Jesus a drink of water or wine on the way to the cross, but a Roman soldier stops her. Before she tries to give him a drink, she wipes his face with her cloth and the image of his bloody face is imprinted on the cloth. She is shown cherishing the cloth close to her body as she watches Jesus continue his way toward the cross. This is based on the Catholic legend about Veronica, which claims that Jesus rewarded Veronica’s charity in wiping the sweat from his brow by imprinting his image into the cloth. There is no evidence of this myth prior to the 4th or 5th century. The alleged Veronica image of Jesus’ face, which began to appear perhaps in the 8th century, shows the typical longhaired Catholic Jesus. Reproductions of the image have long been used as “healing relics.” The legend became one of the Roman Catholic Church’s 14 Stations of the Cross. (The account about Veronica is also in Anne-Catherine Emmerich’s visions.) * Simon, who carries Jesus’ cross, at first is reluctant, expressing great disdain toward Jesus, but afterwards he has a change of heart and confronts the Romans in Jesus’ defense. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * After Jesus’ first hand is nailed to the cross, his other arm is stretched out violently to reach the hole that had been drilled for the second nail. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “When the executioners had nailed the right hand of our Lord, they perceived that his left hand did not reach the hole they had bored to receive the nail, therefore they tied ropes to his left arm, and having steadied their feet against the cross, pulled the left hand violently until it reached the place prepared for it. This dreadful process caused our Lord indescribable agony, his breast heaved, and his legs were quite contracted.”) |

* After Jesus is nailed to the cross, it is raised, turned over and dropped face down. One person who saw the movie observed: “They lift the cross up, turn it over and drop in on him! That would have killed him. Then they turn it over and drop it back down again. This would have likely broken the back of a healthy man, let alone one who had his back flailed with that cat.” * A crow pokes out the eye of the unrepentant thief on the cross. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich.) * Blood gushes out of Jesus’ side like a waterfall after the soldier thrusts in his spear. (Gibson got this from the visions of Catholic mystic Anne-Catherine Emmerich. “When Cassius drew his lance out of the wound a quantity of blood and water rushed from it, and flowed over his face and body.”) * The names of the thieves on the cross are said to be Gesmes and Dismas. Many argue, “While these things are not in the Bible, they also are not contrary to the Bible. Who is to say, though, that these things do not somehow change the message of Scripture? The scene of the crow picking out the eye of the unrepentant thief, for example -- who can say that this extra-scriptural scene might not leave in the heart of a viewer some type of lasting but wrong impression about God and the Bible? The same is true for every type of addition that is made to the Bible narrative. We simply have no authority for such additions. |
