I too saw that movie, and never made the connection.

Good Morning.

Have you seen The Passion of the Christ yet?

I'll see it tomorrow. (Already have the tickets.)

I agree -- it is one thing to read the story in the Bible and try to imagine what Jesus endured, but to see it portrayed in such a graphically powerful manner is truly humbling. It really hits home.

We anticipate seeing the movie again in addition to buying the DVD.

While I understand his point about not wanting to be viewed as Jesus, and acknowledging that his point is well taken, you can't help but love him too.

And that he is 33 years of age. Yes someone told me.

He was born September 26, 1968. He was 35 last September, so he was 33 during the shooting of the film. Amazing.

Right. It is rather uncanny, isn't it?

Good Morning,

We're seeing Passion at the historic Boyd Theater in Bethlehem, PA on Sunday afternoon. This theater was never torn down, and it's very LARGE. They're not selling in advance, so hopefully, if we get there early enough, and wait in line, we'll get tickets.

We're meeting other family members there and plan to add to the blockbuster success of the first week!

Wow, I recall reading somewhere, Christ's actual birth was in September, around the time of the trumpets, atonemants and feasts holy days, because December was actually Christ's conception. Pretty cool .

I've never been particularly fond of Caviezel as an actor before, but he was splendid in this role. Surprisingly so.

This tells us it's OK for Christians to get mad at secularists. The constant demeaning and trivializing of Christians and Christian beliefs is over. We're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore.

I had hopes for him as an actor when I saw him as a presenter at the Dove Awards (Christian Music) several years ago. When so few actors were acknowledging their faith, I thought "this takes guts".

....even as the movie was being filmed the trouble makers were out in full force.....

And at the top of the list of troublemakers is John F Kerry. Kerry said (Reuters News Service. "Democrat Kerry Urges Caution on 'Passion,' 26 February 2004, by Patricia Wilson). he is "unsure" about the top-rated film, that he might not have time to see it, and that we should use "caution" about such films. Huh?

As the presidential front-runner, Kerry's comments are loaded with meaning for the future of the United States of America. Kerry worships abortion, the homosexual agenda, and the stripping away of every Christian symbol in America. Kerry is against everything Christians stand for.

Kerry could have said so many things to assure the millions of Christians who are pouring into theatres to see the film that their concerns were going to be part of his campaign. Kerry prefers to kowtow to a tiny minority of secularists, the very same groups that have contributed to be the death of American culture.

Kerry is appealing to the lowest common denominator, a tiny minority of voters, a ragtag cadre of naysayers who are categorically against the Passion film.

Who's kidding who? Kerry is pandering to secularists in order to get campaign dollars and voting blocs. He is appealing to the Hollywood types who fear they will lose their chokehold on American culture.

Secularists have vastly profited from perpetuating the anti-Christian culture and would prefer to keep Christians subdued and marginalized. Kerry's ill-conceived remarks show that he will strengthen secularists power over Christian America.

Kerry's comments and his positions on social issues must reach every Christian pastor, church, and group in America. These are the things Christian voters are thinking about:

(1) Kerry's comments about The Passion movie have effectively disqualified him from holding the highest office in Christian America.

(2) Transparently anti-Christian candidates do not deserve Christian votes.

(3) Candidates carrying Bibles and going to church (the Clintons) but who vote against everything Christians believe in are not going to fool Christians again a they have in the past.

(4) Abortion, the institution of marriage, Christian symbols in American life are very important issues and must be addressed.

(5) The future of America depends on which candidate supports Christian issues. Kerry has demonstrated that he need not apply.

He also talked about the horror of crucifixion. “When you are on the cross, you die by asphyxiation,” he said. “You can’t breathe. When I was up there, my legs were going numb and then my forceps would go numb.
