Anti-Semitic Mel Gibson's The Passion of The Christ
Is the movie "The Passion of The Christ", an accurate portrayal of the "real" Jesus of of the BIble? Many have praised this Roman Catholic movie "The Passion of The Christ", which came out a few years ago. Some have even claimed that the movie is "good", since they claim that the movie is "true to the Bible". But is this movie really "true to the Bible"?
The script for this movie was based on many different sources, including the Roman Catholic Bible. These sources included various Roman Catholic mystics and nuns, Roman Catholic traditions, and anti-Semite Mel Gibson's own personal Roman Catholic religious ideas.
I would say that this movie does in some places basically, (but not entirely), agree with the Bible's account of what actually happened during the hours preceding the crucifixion of Christ. Nevertheless, in so many other places, Gibson's "The Passion of The Christ" is at odds with the Bible's account of what actually happened. What the movie gives us, therefore, is a mixture of light with darkness, truth with error, God with Belial, and the true Jesus with "another Jesus".
Some would say that The Passion of The Christ's presentation of "another Jesus" is an excusable act of wickedness, because a movie producer such as anti-Semite Mel Gibson has the "right" to use something called "poetic license" to distort the truth. I, however, have another description for the portrayal of Jesus as saying things that He did not say and of doing things that He did not do. I call such a portrayal "lying about Jesus".
The reason that I call this lying, is that I am a "Fundamentalist Baptist" -- not a "New Evangelical" like Billy Graham or Rick Warren (nor a "Pseudo-Fundamentalist" like the late Jerry Falwell). Such people feel quite comfortable in supporting a movie by an anti-Semite which is filled with lies about Jesus. They also know that this is very much a Roman Catholic movie, yet they still support it anyway. They support it wholeheartedly since they have been cooperating with The Pope and with his Roman Catholic Church for many years.
Others might feel comfortable lending support to "The Passion of The Christ"; a movie filled with lies about Jesus. For me as an Independent Fundamental Baptist to support such a movie would be to commit a wicked sin against my Savior, which wicked sinful act I must refuse to do.
Further, I believe that supporting any movie which makes bold lies against Jesus, (such as "The Last Temptation of Christ" or such as this movie), is to commit a heinous sin against Jesus Christ Himself. I believe that all such lying about Jesus is, in fact, wicked blasphemy against Jesus.
Can I or should I, (or should anyone else for that matter), support the blasphemy of Christ? We might well expect a Muslim or an Atheist to support the blasphemy of Christ. I would say that any thinking Christian, who has seriously considered this matter, should definitely say, "No!" to the support of any movie which is blaspheming or making lies about Jesus Christ.
Nevertheless, we are apparently living in an age of "Great Apostasy" and End-Time demonic deception. The Book of Revelation in The Bible declared that today's apostasy and spiritual deception will one day culminate in many so-called Christians supporting the "Antichrist" by taking his "Mark of the Beast" on their right hand or forehead. "The spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience" (Ephesians 2:2), is already working his work of demonic deception today, what with so many so-called Baptists and other Bapticatholics supporting this clearly Roman Catholic movie. Will many of these same so-called Christians also take the Mark of the Beast some day as well? God forbid!
Is anti-Semitic Mel Gibson's "The Passion of The Christ" a movie about the "Real" Jesus Christ of the Bible? The answer is a resounding "No!"
