God's Word is so elegant and descriptive.

Have a Blessed evening.

"After having to watch 30 minutes of trash in previews of coming attractions (those contained more damaging images than any so called violence in this movie), I saw Son of God on Friday and it was definitely lacking in reaching the masses with the salvation message (the real reason for Christ coming to earth). I agree that the depiction of the Lazarus scene was weak at best. Scriptures were left unfinished that would have given the viewing audience how to be saved. As much as most Christians wanted this to be THE MOVIE THAT WOULD CATCH THE WORLD BY STORM OF JESUS DYING TO SAVE US FROM OURSELVES (OUR SINS) this movie falls short. There have been other low budget films that have done far better. This is a Hollywood and unfortunately Christian networks hype.

No unsaved person except those under conviction can walk away from the film with how to be saved from eternal damnation. It just isn’t there. I hope if anyone took a friend, afterwards there was much discussion and filling in the blanks of the obvious missing dialogue of the movie."

Thank you Maudeen! Your post describes the core issue and the problem with a watered down message.

Oh really?..”forgive us our sins,as we forgive those who sin against us”....also...as Peter was angry and fighting..”turn the other cheek”...which is a metaphor for being patient with those that hurt us. You and others Christians who are do sure you have it, totally missed it in the movie.
