That a woman died of a heart attack while watching it doesn't surprise me but I am surprised that lightning struck people three times on location during the filming. The assistant director was hit twice via his umbrella and J.C. (the actor who played Jesus Christ) was hit directly. According to witnesses, the lightning exited J.C. via his ears and he walked away unharmed...!!!???
Olberman already tried on The Countdown. It was ... rather sick.
SnakeLord said:I just love movie propaganda. It reminds me of Poltergeist where people started saying "all the actors were killed straight after", or "all the actors are now haunted" or some shit similar. Don't listen to it, it's tripe.
Fortunately I didn't see it, but I did see Richard and Judy show which had some rabbi from Mill Hill saying the film was very anti-jew, a catholic woman arguing with him, and a writer saying that while it wasn't anti-jew, it was the worst film he's ever seen
*************
M*W: Yeah, I knew the hype was coming when I heard about the lightning striking the actor. The woman who had the heart attack would have had the heart attack if she were in a library instead of that sorry ass movie. Several people tried to give me free tickets (I guess to try to save my soul), but I wouldn't accept them. Churches here bought up scads of tickets and tried to give them all away. Makes me sick.

He died for all mankind, that event was the microcosm of the earth, for all time & all men; all you have to do is accept Jesus as Lord & Saviorspidergoat said:It is quite possible that jesus died for the Jews. If he didn't give himself up, the Romans might well have massacred all the Jews in Judea.
Thomas was a twin, that is mentioned in the Bible, there is no mention of Jesus having a twin, only James & other family members are mentioned, Judas was called Iscariot, (either Scarii (Jewish rebel assassins) or from a village named Iscari?). the Gospel of Thomas is a later Gnostic addition, a synthesis of Christianity & mysticism, it's a phony, sort of like New Age is nowIt is also possible that it was not Jesus who was crucified, but his twin brother, Judas,
are you sure? Sources please? the only copy of that so-called gospel was found in Nag Hammadi in Egypt, in the Coptic language I think?who is mentioned in original greek versions of the Gospel of Thomas.
Then why did Thomas see the nail marks on Jesus' hands, after previously saying he needed to see them to believe in the resurrection?That would explain later sightings of Jesus, and the origin of the myth of resurrection.
It is possible that orthodox christianity is the phony. Early christianity was for more diverse than you assume.the Gospel of Thomas is a later Gnostic addition, a synthesis of Christianity & mysticism, it's a phony, sort of like New Age is now
sorry,yes, that is the source I am referring too, not the greek. The opening line reads: "These are the secret words which the living Jesus spoke, and which the twin, Judas Thomas, wrote down." Gospel of Thomas 32.10-11, in The Nag Hammadi Libraryare you sure? Sources please? the only copy of that so-called gospel was found in Nag Hammadi in Egypt, in the Coptic language I think?
hey why be sad?Ellimist said:Yes, a woman here (in Kansas), Wichita to be precise, suffered a seizure and a heart attack and died during the scene where the nails were being nailed into Jesus's hands and feet...

Ask yourself, why in "secret"? because it's Gnostic, a form of mysticism, that John wrote against several times. The only 'secret' of Jesus, is that He is the only way to salvation, but don't tell anyone I told you!sorry,yes, that is the source I am referring too, not the greek. The opening line reads: "These are the secret words which the living Jesus spoke,
just referring to Thomas as a twin, not sure if it mentions who his twin is.and which the twin, Judas Thomas, wrote down."
its Gnostic, the secret way to knowledge, because people needed to make salvation harder, the hardest thing about Christianity, is bringing yourself to say, "I'm a sinner, Jesus I know you are my Lord & Savior, by your stripes we are healed, forgive me"Gospel of Thomas 32.10-11, in The Nag Hammadi Library
muslims believe this too, they can't believe that Jesus would have died on the cross, or that God would had let Him, so they say that "allah" deceived everybody, made someone else look like Jesus & put that man in His place. In one of the suras, it says that 'allah' is a deceiver, funny but Jesus said that He was the "Truth, the Way and the Life" & that satan was the "father of lies". interesting that a 'god' would lie or deceive or even let an innocent stranger (or Judas Iscariot) die on the cross. When Jesus is saying "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachtani", He is quoting Psalm 22, to fulfill prophecy, not fearing abandonmentThat Jesus' twin was killed in his place is pure conjecture on my part...

right, but I think Jews are saying, "where do you draw the line?" Because historically, they have suffered the brunt of any backlash. The Holacaust didn't happen in a vacuumGodless said:However know this I did fight for the Passion movie. I used to be member of an atheist yahoo group, the thing worked via-emails, anyhow I was posting the controversies of ADL and the Jews. I felt as I should. No Jew has a right to dictate shiet in this country, and Mel can make his movie, because the US is a suppose to be a church free state.
they may be a little defensive, but they may have fueled the flames, by going overboard in opposition, whats the deal? afterall its just a movie, did Jews protest 'The last temptation of Christ'? Hmmm... ?I got some good fight, only because I was interpreted as anti-semetic, finally I just left the damn group. I realized I used the word jews and therefore perhaps this was a bit anti-semetic,
You're right, read the book! but that could be said of every movie adaptation?If I were a Christian, I wouldn't even want to watch the movie, why is that a movie, such as this should inspire me to believe, and worship my lord and savoir? I should have that inspiration and imagination of how my savior died for my sins and belive without doubt, nor need sinthetic hollywood depictions of my religious devotion displayed in movies.
you're doing good, take care of your MomSo I again, will probably not rent the damn thing. (just been cousious)
So if I rent it, it will be without her knowledge of it.
hey, I got sucked into "the Blair Witch Project", what a rip!!!It is sad that the hoopla of this movie is caried out everywhere even here, it reminds me of Wandere's Bob analogy of Americans. We just can't seem to get away from his depiction of our society of sheeple and this movie, is ever so proving him right all along.

before you call me a liar, read what your brother muslims are writing & posting.Flores said:You are such a liar.
your problem is, that you forget that the qoran & muslims teach the law of ‘abrogation’, late verses abrogate earlier ones,Muslims don't believe in a twin. Here's the Quranic scripture on the lies that the Jews insist to spread about Jesus....and unfortunately, christians like you will keep living the lies of the jews till the end of times.
