Our church was given the opportunity to purchase 3000 tickets for an advance screening of the Passion two days before the general release. They will be going on sale on Sunday Morning. My guess is they will be sold out before the third service.

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

3000 tickets? That's a big church.

The reaction to this film, not yet released, has been astonishing. In a WorldNet Daily piece today,a Jewish rabbi basically pleaded with Christians to not go to the movie, as it will make Jews mad. Catholic bishops are at the best apathetic to Mel's dream, while many evangelical communities have embraced this Catholic film with open arms.

I get the feeling that in a few weeks after the release, there will be loud and vocal calls to ban this movie as "hate speech". I also get the feeling that The Passion will change all who see it, as it changed Micheal Savage.

And aren't they all going to feel a little foolish 2 weeks after it opens and there is not Jewish blood running in the streets.

"Mel Gibson is closing Jewish hearts to Jesus"

Here you go

From that article:
"The Jews will not accept Jesus as a Messiah... but why not as a sage?"

What sort of a sage would he be? One who lies, blasphemes, and sacriliges? If he were not the Messiah, he would be all these things. No, we have had enough of people who take snippets of the "Historical Jesus," and strip away the truth. We've had enough Mohammeds, Masons and Marxists for now. And the Jewish faith certainly does not need to be polluted in such a way, either. Better to keep the Jewish faith pure, until the Glory of the Olives comes.

That article on World Net by that Rabbi was ridiculous, it was odd and bizarre....I was going to post it, but thought nah..it wasn't worth it...He is just trying to cause more unfounded steam, why continue to give them a forum...

I'll be watching bump

, as it changed Micheal Savage.

Really? In what way?

I've haven't listened in awhile and although I don't always agree with his delivery, I believe he has the best handle on what is happening in and to America

I hope he got saved!

There is a review on his website. My father listens to M. Savage a lot, and Dad said that old Mike seemed to be a changed man. Savage talked that he would not be the same after seeing The Passion.

I guess we can pray, hopefully Savage will find his way back to God.

Have you seen Newsweek's article on the movie?! After you find your head and put it back on (because it will pop off like a champagne cork after you read the article) write to Newsweek (I did) and tell them what you think.

If I DID subscribe to Newsweek (and I don't) I'd cancel my subscription!

I get the feeling that in a few weeks after the release, there will be loud and vocal calls to ban this movie as "hate speech"

You may be more right than you know, while they haven't had the nerve to use the word "ban" the ADL has all but declared that an acurate reproduction of the Passion Play is a Hate Speech.

For me this evokes claims of the movie, and this aspect of my religion, being declared a Thought Crime by the Jewish/Catholic Left.

Haven't seen it yet, might have to pick up a copy!
