Passion Of Christ

[Wing Zero]

ahhh look what i have created a discussion monster/monsters!
ok so now that weve had enough discussion, mabey we should get back to the MOVIE a bit more, and you know cut down on the beliefs...o well what do i care it was fun while it lasted!

 

[Dizzy]

But the Movie is about spirituality, and I think everyone at PC needs to Discover Spirituality again....

I think so too. The Bible is against homosexualism, NOW THAT I think is plain bogus. I think some stupid homophobe wrote that in. They do nuthin' to people, but yet, the Bible says they'll burn >__<;; The Bible most probably has some additional things added, that's for sure.

*dies*

I hate to double post, but I have to add this in...

There's a difference between being against homosexuality because of your moral code and homophobia...homosexuality is simply against the moral code of the Bible. Nothing in the Bible teaches anyone to fear them or hate them...it tells us to treat all people equally. "Hate the sin, not the sinner." You can disagree with someone's actions and still get along with a person...I do it all the time. There are people who do things that I don't really agree with but I find them to be kind overall. The Bible hasn't had anything added to it since around 90 A.D. around there, and that was the book of Revelations. People have made sure to keep it the way it originally was, because it's such a huge responsibility to translate something like that perfectly. There's nothing in the Bible that has ever taught us to hate, but only to respect.

Some churches believe that only the purest of the pure and most pious of the pious Christians will ever go to heaven, but I firmly believe they're wrong. In the Bible it says that one can enter the kingdom of heaven if they have "the faith of a mustard seed"...do you know how big a mustard seed is? A little bigger than this period >>> . Faith is faith, and all people have faults...I'm a Christian myself but very far from perfect. The plan for salvation, as I said, is simple. The act of baptism, symbolic of shedding off your old life and pledging your life to Christ, is all you need. Even if you have just the smallest amount of faith but hold that faith strongly and strive to follow the way, that's enough. Your dedication to your belief and the act of baptism is all you need.

How come although I feel petrified about the thought of H*ll, somehow you make H*ll seem less scary? ^^ You're so encouraging, now I don't feel so scared than I was before! ^.^

Actually that actually came from Sodomites and since Gays have Sodomite Sex.. There all considered Sodomites I guess.... But thats freekin stupid.. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION.. The Church needs to be Reformed into the Church of Rome.. Aka Neo-Roman Catholocism

Yeah, that kinda ticks me off. What do gays do to hurt people? All they doin' is loving someone in their own preference. It ain't fair to make em look like such sinners. People who do worse are rapers, murderers, etc.

[Chairman Kaga]

I'm glad I can help your fears like that...all you need is faith and baptism, and then everything'll be a-ok ^_^

In my opinion, gays don't hurt people, but (and I'm not trying to sound callous) sin is sin...we could ask these same questions about liars, thieves, and all those people, but this subject comes up and is more controversial than other things *shrugs*

the only reason i dont like gay marrige is because of the influence they hold...
i mean one day theyre gonna want to have a kid, and they cant naturaly so they go and adopt one...and then they cant help but to influence them, or keep their secret for long, thus greatly impacting the child...

But they'll adopt kids! ^^ That way so many unwanted children can go home to parents who'll love em. ^^

[Wing Zero]

yes i know that, but dont you think that their parents homosexuality will at all stun the child? just look at it in a psychological aspect...i would be shocked if my parents were homosexuals and i probably would then think it was okay to act like that and thus myslef be like them, and doesnt it spread aids =/

If I was a parent with a partner my same gender, I'd tell my kid to do whatever he/she wants. I don't think love has any restrictions. But gay porn really ticks me off.. That ain't love, that's just being dirty >_<;

*dies*

 

[Wing Zero]

yea but i mean even if they said that id see my parents like that and automaticaly assume that it was an okay, if not the right way, to have a mate...pluse it spreads aids =/

 

[Chairman Kaga]

We're getting a bit off-topic here >_<;; Let's just settle this now before it spirals downward like most debates of this nature do...sorry for saying this, I just don't want to see a good topic get messed up ^^;;

 

[Wing Zero]

okay what ever you say, i feel that all there was to be expressed was expressed and, like relgion, will never be settled because its based on personal beleifs and morals, etc...anywas BACK ON TOPIC!

 

[Jess]

Okay I don`t think this movie is still in theaters..

 

[Greed]

I'm not sure, I saw it on Tinseltown last saturday. O.o; Who knows? Maybe it went to the dollar theaters? ^^

*dies*

 

[Scyther5]

Well, i just cant get worked up about seeing this. I dont really want to see Jesus die, but I think I need to see this movie.

 

[Greed]

Its not about seeing him die, its about seeing how he suffered to forgive us. I know, I sound corny now =P But yeah, its not just about Jesus' death, but about what he was willing to go for all of us. I highly recommend it ^^

[Jess]

Hello all you christians, jews, whatever ya R I'm no religion. I'm nothing at all. Personally, I think there are good stuff and bad stuff about the religion. 1 is promoting a bad movie, plus wars sometimes are about religions and conversions (mostly a long time ago in christianity and jewish religions) and also not being open to new ideas like evolution, big bang, etc. The good thing is it really can help you with your problems, and can help you throught life. No, religion is NOT a bad thing, of course not. It has pros and cons like everything in the world. One of my best friends is a christian and helps at church a lot and is deeply religiosly involved. She wanted to see the R-rated movie, like it was her duty or something (she is in 7th grade). It is her duty to be sin free, not see a half true R-rated movie. This religion stuff is confusing, it promotes goodness, but ends up promoting some bad stuff too. Now I am so definity NOT trying to offend anyone okay. Like I was saying, my friend is like 100% religious. I mean, half the wars in history was over religion. It has pros and cons, that is all I'm saying. Really sorry, if I sound mean. Really sorry.

In the middle ages, Christianity went through a phase where they forgot some of the teachings of the bible...today we are actually very tolerant, and I, for one, regret the crusades and conquests and stake-burnings. The masses were uninformed on the truths of their own religion, and began to make up things. We are reformed now and regret any violence that our ancestors carried out. They had forgotten that the way to minister is through kindness, not violence. But that was then, this is now, and we're different. Some people still act like we're ignorant conquistadors still, though, which enrages me.

Might I add that not believing in some scientific theories does not make us bad. It is simply a choice of beliefs all people must make. I, personally, believe in adaptive evolution (changes within a single species to make it adapt to an environment), but not macroevolution...science and religion go very well together.

And about the "duty to see the movie" issue, I doubt people feel a duty to see it, but are strongly compelled. Your friend was very excited and desired to see the movie, and if she actually felt it was her duty then there's nothing wrong with that. This movie can only help peoples' lives, eh? And the R-rating doesn't make it bad. They couldn't make Jesus's suffering realistic and not get an R-rating, and people who have seen it know that the suffering was meant to touch, not disgust, people. They did what they had to.

I don't think you sound offensive at all, and have stated your opinion quite civilly, like most other people in this topic, and I'm glad it's stayed civil this long. Thanks for your input!
