They sat like strangers in the auditorium, unable to understand the emotional reactions of the Christians around them, and unable to understand, when they spoke with those Christians later, how they could have missed the parts of the film that so troubled the Jews.

And, that statement sums up what this entire controversy is about. The Jews (for the most part) do not understand our scripture. They don't understand what is meant by what is written.

These Jews who saw the film did not see anger on the part of any Christian who watched. They don't understand how the Christians didn't see what they saw, but the Christians are guided what God wants them to see by the Holy Spirit.

Of course, I guess you could say that all the Christians that saw this movie and did not react they way these reviewers did are all anti-Semites already.

Either the Christians are anti-Semitic (which is close to what abe foxman claims), or some Jews just do not have the capacity to understand the New Testament in the same way as the Christians do (which I credit to the Holy Spirit).

I know this statement will get flamed. That's fine. But my belief in the Holy Spirit which indwells within all Christians is my belief, and nothing you can say will change that.

Flame if you must, but that's my opinion.

One point of clarification. I should not have used the term Jews exclusively. I should have used the term unbelievers.

Not all Catholics are believers, just as not all Baptists are believers. Sorry for any confusion that post may cause since one of the reviews was written by someone who claims Christianity.
