Somehow, I don't think the intent of the thread was to critique the movie (and screenplay) based on it's strict adherence to Scripture. Folks, try to put the film in context...1970...in the midst of the "Jesus Freak" movement that sprung up in the mid-to-late sixties. It's a film. It's a screenplay. It's a musical. The music is phenomenal, IMHO. Judge the art for what it is, not what you think it ought to be.

This is the internet, anything you say will get responses.

And its a film based on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That would automatically mean that people who watch it will be judged against the Gospel : p If it wasnt meant to line up with the Gospel, then lets call it for what it is. If it was meant to line up with the Gospel, it didnt do a very good job.

Exactly why I posted it. I even think I said something to that effect.

You did. I read it. However, I am one of "those weird people" that reads a thread and most all of it's replies so I have a general idea of the jist of the conversation before I post my two cents. I realize "ain't nobody got time fo' 'dat", and they just skip right to the last post and jump on in.

Yeah, in fact I dont think Jesus even mentioned He came to die for anyone. Think he just got caught and put to death. No significance at all placed on what He did.

Not the movie version, but still:

Im sure I felt uncomfortable due to the fact that the character portraying Jesus of the Gospel in that film couldnt handle healing a group of sick people and cried out "leave me alone!", and not because I dont have the mark of a true believer.

I don't think Willy meant any offense Yezera.

For me seeing Jesus as a man who has a huge burden on him made me understand more about this huge sacrifice he made for me, his life. But what one person feels another might see it differently and that's not a bad thing. I think we can all learn from different points of view.

We took our kid's to see The Boss Baby last night. This movie is loosely based on where babies actually come from. Although it was cute, I wouldn't recommend it as an actual biological lesson. :rolleyes:;)

yes,

Jesus uses whatever is at hand, whether 'movie', etc...our JOB is to discern between
good and evil, NOT what is just appealing and feels good to our emotions...

it's work to live here people, it's not a free-ride for what ever pleases us, for as the scriptures say,
'The whole-world lies in wickedness...Read your Bible, learn what please our Saviour...
