If I don't like DaVinci's painting of the Last Supper, does that mean I don't like Jesus or his message? Is it my Christian duty to like that painting?
Nice dodge. BTW, you replied to me in post 134, and I think you meant to respond to someone else.
No, it's not your duty to like any particular piece of work. However, you objected to the fact Gibson had made the movie in your initial statement. If you objected to the existence of the Last Supper painting, and claimed that Da Vinci shouldn't have painted it, then yeah, I would suspect your problem is with the spreading of the Gospel, and not with the expertise of Da Vinci or the quality of his painting. BTW, do you know why the Last Supper is so famous, especially considering that there were thousands of Christian paintings done at that time.
Oh, and your statement about the Last Supper also proves your initial statement incorrect. You stated, For 2000 years scripture as written has been suffcient(sic) to convey the passion of the Christ. Now all of a sudden scripture is not enough and everybody has to flock to a sensational movie. Makes no sense. Paintings, writings (Pilgrims's Progress, the Chronicles of Narnia, Paradise Lost, Ben Hur, to name a few), poems, and movies have all been used to convey the Gospel message.
