Folks, isn't it a good thing when even an historical rending of the life of Jesus is available for families to catch? This may not have an alter call or be set to evangelize the Gospel, but I don't see anything wrong with someone putting together a family-safe movie which is generally Bibically accurate.

Even if Roma and Mark were Jewish or Atheist (the latter, of which, may or may not be true), is it a “bad” thing to have this available?

Of course, we could be allowing our kids to watch “The Amazing Race” with the obligatory gay representative(s) or “Shark Tank” with 0bama-supporter Mark Cuban, instead. Of course, those casting stones at this movie have never let their kids watch programs with gays or other 0bama supporters though, right? GET REAL—OF COURSE YOU HAVE!

I would rather people support true Christians of good character (walking the walk, not divorced and didn't sleep around before marriage, etc.), but this is a fallen world and you have already made compromises far worse than catching a version of the life of Jesus.

Flame on!

I tend to think that perhaps the movie isn’t what a lot of well seasoned Christians may glean something from, but there are a LOT of people it may at least plant a seed with.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and if God’s word is anywhere in the movie, it will not return void. If the movie result in some people seeking and finding, then I applaud it.

Speak for yourself regarding what you do and don’t allow your children to view. Mine don’t watch any of the trash that you speak of. And they certainly won’t be watching this movie.

A partial truth is still a lie. Brought to you by the father of all lies.

Open you eyes and open your heart to God. Don’t blaspheme his writings or condone others that do.
