Movie about Christ starts violent domestic fight
The Associated Press - STATESBURO, Ga.
A couple got in such a heated argument after seeing "The Passion of the Christ" that they were arrested for fighting.
The two left the theater debating whether God the Father in the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit was in human form or spiritual.
When police arrived at their home, the wife had ripped her husband's shirt, and he had punched a hole in the sheet rock near the stairs.
"It was the dumbest thing we've ever done," said 34-year-old Melissa Davidson.
She and her husband, 33-year-old Sean Davidson, were charged with simple battery March 11.
A police report said Melissa Davidson suffered injuries on her left arm and face, while Sean Davidson had a scissor stab on his hand and his shirt was ripped off.
Melissa Davidson acknowledged she had a scratch but said there was no scissor injury.
"We both called the law on each other," she said. "It was one of those stupid things. We were arguing over a point of religion."
The couple has been married for 10 years and had never been in an argument like that before, she said.
"We're each other's best friends. Sometimes people get stupid," she said.

Are they Jews? We were warned the movie would cause violence against Jews.

Another flipflop from the left. They used to say that media have no affect on people's behavior - ooops! They still say that too.

(Just my opinion, of course. Your mileage may vary. You have the right to be wrong.)

But the article doesn't tell which spouse was upholding the Orthodox and biblical doctrine 'No man has seen the Father', and which was the patripassian heretic.
To: Pikamax
Now if they are both charged with domestic violence, does that mean neither one can possess a firearm?

"'No man has seen the Father',"?
I guess that was her side of the argument and proceeded to knock him out to kingdom come so that he would see.

Are they Jews? We were warned the movie would cause violence against Jews.In the absence of firm documentation that neither of them were in any part Jewish, and in the interest of diversity and multiculturalism, we must count these as two instances of suspected anti-semitism.

He that hath seen me hath seen the Father...I and my Father are ONE
The Holy Trinity...God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
For God so loved the world that HE gave His ONLY Begotten Son

Husbands, Love Your Wives
Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the
flesh instead thereof;
22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Deuteronomy 24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he
shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.
Malachi 2:13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he
regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt
treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take
heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of
hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
1 Peter 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
their own husbands:
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being
heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

"We're each other's best friends. Sometimes people get stupid," she said. Get drunk, forgive each other and go make a baby .... everyone fights ... but damn that was funny.

It's actually encouraging that some people take their doctrine so seriously. My very first thought!

In the late Roman age, people were actually killed for taking sides on this one.
I prefer to think of it as early Byzantine.
