The Passion of Jesus Christ

[Ginkasa]

1. Its in Latin
2. There's no subtitles (I don't think).

There story is well known enough that there shouldn't be any problem understanding it, I wouldn't think.

****, I think anyone who has read the bible would know that every passage is messed up. In the first few pages it describes one of the first man's penis being circumcized with a rock picked up off the ground, and it describes how animals are burned to a crisp in holy sacrifice. A father even sacrifices his eldest son, just for God.

I think the only people who are complaining and arguing about it will be the ones who have never studied the bible, or gone to church.

Do you know how oral stories can be changed over time?

Example (and no, it doesn't have to make sense):

"Dyne is a cool guy"
"Dyne is a school fry"
"Dyne is a school bus"
"Dyne is a yellow bus"
"Dyne is a yellowjacket"
"Dyne is a hornet"
"Dyne is horny"
"Dyne is a rapist"
"Dyne is no longer allowed to babysit my children"

It really changes a lot.

That's right, because we all know Jesus Christ was just slapped on the wrist. "Oh, woe is me."

I really doubt they had to exaggerate anything. We're less of Caveman than we were back then, and look how violent we still can be.

Your comprehension level is sub-par. But, that's ok in some places.

Umm... I believe you are quite mistaken. He was going to sacrifice his son because God asked him to, but then God stopped him when he was about to do it. Moral of the story, God doesn't want human sacrifices.

He was intent on doing so. He would have. I should have put "was ready to" but it's been a long day. But I'm glad somebody noticed it at least.

I seriously doubt you've even read the bible. All you did was name 2 specific passages and called the whole book messed up. There ARE more than 2 stories in the bible. Even if you don't believe in Jesus Christ, there are some great morals that consist in the book.

2 specific passages at the beginning. The book is messed up in terms of modern times. We're forced to adapt it. God's lessons are clear, because some themes are in today's context, such as adultery.

I mean, honestly, you have to agree that Noah living to over 900 years old is quite a bit hard to understand in today's terms. People might have had more dexterity back then; we don't know that. That's "messed up." Jesus' sacrifice was not a cake walk.. it was a ridiculous event in terms of modern morals. They wouldn't force thieves to walk that far with a cross on their back nowadays. Public display of death? No, not anymore. I don't even think they put bags over their heads like they did in France under the guillotine.

May I point out the differences between the old testament and the new one? The old one was for the nation of Israel. The new one was made after Jesus death and is for christians.
Jesus said something like "don't follow the old testament anymore, I give you a new one".

So you can't compare the old and new one and say 'bullocks!'

I think that ppl should know what Jesus went trough, but displaying it like this on movie... I dunno

BTW every movie has mistakes... I've already seen a few.
You can't nail someone through their hand palms. Because of the weight of the body, the nail would rip through the flesh and the convicted would fall off.
You have to nail through the wrist, so that the bone in the base of your hand holds the weight of you body.

Oh well, minor detail.

1. The Romans speak Latin, but a bastardized "street" version, and the locals speak Aramaic
2. There are subtitles, I saw them in the trailer. Besides, it would be pretty stupid to make a movie in two dead languages that 99.999% of the world don't understand.

[Acebot44]

Didnt they also make it in Hebrew?

[rottwylor]

I've been to catholic schools...CCD...and I still have no desire to see this... partly due to the fact I'm a catholicism survivor... and don't really believe much of the bible
