‘If we don’t carry our cross, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.’

[Travis McGee]

AND this J.C. is also 33 years old. Spooky.

[Stallone]

The Passion of the Christ is clarion call to all Warrior Crusaders.

Islamonazi Hollywood would like to undermine its distribution and success.

Destroy them.

See this film.

[Rainmist]

That's what I'm talkin' about !!!!!! Altho I don't think that particular picture does him justice .....

[sfRummygirl]

“My prayer is that I don’t want people to see me in the film; I only want them to see Christ,” he says ....

Your prayer was answered, Jim!

[sfRummygirl]

I understand your feelings. I was at a party tonight, and was asked by some people I haven't seen in a long time if I was one of 'those Christians'.
I said, 'Yes, I am an evangelical Christian. Christ is my Messiah, and died for my sins.'

Man, it felt good.

[sfRummygirl]

Very well put. I will also pray for that.

[Rainmist]

Not that it matters, but I wonder what's gonna happen at next year's Academy ( Pretendland ) Awards ??

[sfRummygirl]

I heard her on Barbara Simpson tonight, and she was great.

[LizVanBreda]

nah...he's way too beautiful...not my kinda hubba

[Lancey Howard]

Great find, Liz! Thanks for posting this.
I read on another thread that when Mel Gibson first talked to Jim Caviezel about the role, he warned Caviezel that it may seriously damage his career in Hollywood and he wouldn't blame Jim if he turned it down. Jim took the risk and did a great job. (I saw the movie tonight with my 12-year-old son.) I think Caviezel will soon find himself in serious demand.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

I think this is the message that Mel was going after-not the anti-semitic one that the hysterics are claiming.

[Freedom2specul8]

Thank you for sharing your experience...

[Freedom2specul8]

What did they mean by "those Christians"? Do they consider themselves agnostics or do they just utilize the Christian label for selfish reasons that would make us question their salvation? My apologies if I misinterpreted it...

[Liz]

If Jim does not get the Academy award for best actor, Hollyweirdos have a riot on their hands. These are the rest of my nominations:

Best Film: The Passion of The Christ,

Best actors: James Cazeveil as Jesus, Maia Morganstern as Mary,

Best Supporting Actors: Pilate, Simon of Cyrene, Claudia, Veronica, Mary Magdalene

Best Director Mel Gibson

Best adaption from the original book(s)

Best screenplay

Best costumes

Best lighting

Best original score

Best art direction

Best sound

Best film editing

Best cinematography

Best special visual effects

Best makeup

And as another FReeper suggested: Lifetime Achievement award for Mel Gibson for single handedly bringing faith to the hearts and minds of millions of people who may experience this message for the first time, or may experience a new 'awakening' of the spirit.


Did I forget anything?

[Liz]

Mel said he chose Jim for the role b/c Jim had a combination of manly strength (needed to carry the Cross) and vulnerbility (how we think of Jesus).

[Liz]

Using the term "those Christians" is evidential of the successful demeaning of Christians secularists have tried so hard to effect. It shows secularists have no fear in looking down their noses at believers. Secularists consider Christians to be second-class citizens.

A culture devoid of Christian values is a dangerous wasteland of school killings, disturbed one-parent kids, crime waves, schools in a cultural vacuum teaching the destructive NEA--PP'hood agenda, sexual license, teen pregnancies, abandoned babies, abortion on demand including infanticide, and the homosexual takeover.

Those who disadain Christans must be proud of these "accomplishments."

[Freedom2specul8]

I've always thought of secular as meaning non-religious in nature. Keeping Christian philosophy completely out of every public service....from secular counseling to secular schools.

I've never heard of a secularist (who I thought was a humanist) being labeled as a Christian.

I feel like I'm totally missing your points.

[Freedom2specul8]

I have some errands etc..I'll check back in later..

[Romish_Papist]

I'd like to be on the Catholic ping list please.
