I don't know how anyone could go see "The Passion of Christ" and either: 1) not know; or 2) not want to find out "the issues of who is Jesus, what did He do that He was crucified, and how He rose from the dead." And I believe that is exactly why Mel made the movie.

What an insulting interpretation of that interview. The interview was NOT ABOUT homosexuality. Get a grip.

History according to the left is as it wasn't. Much like Clinton's how do you define "is".

It's too darn bad that Mel Gibson has been ridiculed for putting to film exactly what the Gospels stated. For putting to words what he believes. Haven't his First Amendment Rights been violated? Doesn't he deserve "equal protection under the Constitution".

I was never taught, nor do I believe that the Jews who lived during that time were responsible for Jesus's execution. Oh, a few people were really ticked off at Him, big time. He was a threat to the establishment's power. He was taking them on, entering into their territory, but no way could anything or anyone interfere in Jesus's ultimate destiny. Perhaps, Pontius Pilate could have, actually he was the only mortal who could do so, but perhaps not, a higher power was in charge.

The road to Jesus's death was our road to salvation.

The "controversial" car chase scene will be included in Stone Phillips' Dateline story, when he interviews those biblical "experts."

So you were impressed with the whole interview. Perfect, see the movie and buy what ever was advertised.

It was a Mel Gibson Love-in. If it had been some preacher on the other end of the interview talking about faith and the Passion and other bible doctrines she certainly would have asked. Gay marriage is the hot topic of the day and it is so because of religion. I actually believe Mel is a strong enough Catholic to have poopooed gay marriage but she spared him the embarassment. If he was joe preacher next door there wouldn't have been any issue to say the truth because he doesn't have a fan base to keep happy.

So what if the whole interview was about THE MOVIE? That was the point...

Actually 75 percent of the interview was about Mel, 20 percent was about the movie and 5 percent was about the subject of the movie.

According to my sources, its back in. Its the flashback scene where Jesus smashes his Ferrari through the temple courtyard.
