"Not by works" - false!

It is called The Visual Bible: The Gospel of John. <- That is a link to its description on imdb

This youtube upload has it improperly titled

I post it because it has a higher resolution than others

Thank you, I will have to give it a view

I saw this title and the first thing that came to mind was explosion, lol....attracting controversy much?!!!

Guess I took the bait too, lol!!

If works are important, which they are... God, ALONE, empowers them, we ought to be cognizant of His word that tells us to avoid controversy and disputes

where have you been sis? I have missed your company and your kind words or have I just not been where you were? lol

You are welcome! It was premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in 2003 Wiki says of it: This three-hour, epic, feature film follows John's Gospel precisely, without additions to the story from the other Gospels or omissions of the Gospel's complex passages. And also: This film was created by a constituency of artists from Canada and the United Kingdom, along with academic and theological consultants from around the world. Though, Some have commented that the inclusion of Mary Magdalene at the Last Supper has no Biblical citation.

Enjoy!

How kind of you, Brother. I have missed you and all my family in Christ here. I have two jobs now, trying to keep this house of mine. He is providing, week by week, and I am so grateful.

We are so blessed with Him, Brother. How are you and your family doing?

If one of his children starting raping the younger ones he wouldn’t let it go on because he his son and nothing he does to the other sons and daughters matters. A good father thinks of all of his children. This is one thing that is easily forgotten. I personally know families who KICKED OUT THE SON who was actively engaging in crime protecting the rest of the offspring. And He was THEIR SON. Were the parents cruel?

i just asked a coworker.. he said he saw parts of it and it was great. to bad can not watch it here at work..

I am Glad God is providing for you. I pray he can help you where you do not have to work so much. You are blessed putting family first..We are doing great here.. Looking forward to getting away here in a few weeks (if covid 19 does not stop us) and enjoy Gods beautiful creation

I as well. But I always return back to the Bible I grew up on: The NIV.

i look forward to seeing it

I think it is natural. We like familiarity..

I am glad

Many years ago I attended an evangelical Christian church to view a showing on the life of Christ according to the gospel of Luke. I had been raised in a fairly strict Roman Catholic home, though I was not Christian at the time, and I did not know Jesus - at all. I was in a particularly hurting and broken state then, feeling like a total failure in my life and quite hopeless following, among other things, the breakdown of my marriage subsequent to multiple miscarriages, including the still birth of the child I had gotten married for. I had quit the church half my life-time before this. In fact I was quite set against organized religion, and could not be said to be partial to the Bible in any meaningful way, and yet I was curious to know Who Jesus was, even as I was running from God in rebellion and defiance. I consider myself to have been very lost at that time from my present perspective, but God knew exactly where I was.

During my short time at that church to see the movie (which was being shown in two parts over two Saturday evenings around Passover), and attend a couple of Sunday services, I experienced a Divine intervention/encounter which has become part of my personal testimony.

At some point after watching the movie, I experienced an entire body, mind, and soul experience of God's infilling, being bathed in the Light of His unconditional love and forgiveness for me, and all I had done, realizing all the ways I had messed up my life, all my failings, failures, and mistakes, was seen within His absolute knowledge and understanding of how and why I had become the person I was, illuminated in the Light of His unconditional love and total forgiveness. I felt the fullness, strength, and depth of His love so profoundly, I wept uncontrollably, because I also felt so broken and lost and beyond redemption... and most of all, I felt unworthy.

Though I cherished in my heart the experience of knowing I was loved and forgiven by God (which probably went a long way to saving my life at the time), I did not believe in "that" God, and went on my way from that life-saving experience thinking it was too bad it happened in a church. I had begun a spiritual seeking phase, and carried on in that for another fifteen years, until God once again revealed Himself to me and clearly called me out of what I was doing with another profound and earth-shattering divine intervention, which completely turned my world upside down. Still, even after that clear calling out, my stiff-necked stubbornness was so set against religion, the Bible, and Him, that it took another year following the calling out for me to lay down my opposition and fully surrender my life to Him.

Sadly I think many of us have the same sort of history with God.. I am so blessed you are here.. as we all are.. And thank you for this wonderful testimony

NASBUpdate = 1995 edition.

I hope I live long enough for the NASBU Only cult to come into existence.

First thing I will tell them when they criticize a modern version is "We don't speak in that antiquated 1995 language anymore!"

You are welcome I think it so sad when people unequivocally come against the movie industry, as one person did here recently, saying: the whole entertainment industry belongs to satan Obviously it does not, when such movies are still being made, and people, including myself, can not only attest to that fact, but also give glory to God regarding His patience with us, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that He loved me long before I ever loved Him in return

I see it differently, my friend.

The Jews, just like the whole world in Noah’s days, were sinning. They were not looking to the law.

All people on earth have the ability to stop sinning. What they did not have is the ability to say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin” (Proverbs 20:9).

Nothing before Christ’s sacrifice could “purify a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:14) so all people, including Daniel, Isaiah, etc., could never claim to be nothing but guilty of having sinned with their fathers.

Now that we have the perfect sacrifice in Christ, we should walk worthy of that perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 10:14; Ephesians 4:1).

Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
