Yes that reality that Jesus was whipped, crowned with thorns, and nailed to a cross probably could get in the way of your fantasy world...


Actually, no. I’m quite aware it happened. I just don’t feel the need to be entertained by watching a re-enactment.

That's an idiotic assumption to make of someone who saw it.

That is the reality and nobody is entertained by it. There is nothing wrong, however, with knowing the price that was paid for our sins and understanding the full horror of what our sin is and what it costs.

And if that includes seeing what Jesus REALLY went through to REALLY pay for our real sins, so be it.

Scripture tells us that He was unrecognizable at the time of the crucifixion. IMO, the movie did not do justice to the reality of the beating Jesus took on our behalf.

If you think people are being entertained by that, you have some real problems......
