The Truth About Mel Gibson's

The Passion Of The Christ

On February 25th, 2004 , a new movie directed by superstar Mel Gibson opened in thousands of theatres throughout the United States . It was Ash Wednesday, as it is called by many, when the new movie, The Passion Of The Christ, was presented to the general public. The general consensus of massive multi-million dollar ministries was,

As a former occultist and witch, saved by the grace of God, I discern the evil in this Mel Gibson movie, The Passion of the Christ! It should be avoided as a deadly abomination.

Discernment is the great gift of God, but Father will not waste it on people, who are not willing to exercise it. I praise God for some godly pastors who stand against and do not call evil good, and good evil; do not put darkness for light, and light for darkness; do not put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

You know what, I have been reading the posts of people bashing the movie and I have tried to hold my tongue about it. But, let me tell you what that movie did! Through watching that movie my sister and her husband gave their lives to the Lord! Yes, there are things that I don't agree with in it because of the Catholic undertone, but you know what? All I remember from that movie is the amazing love and focus of Jesus, who gave His life for us! ALL GLORY TO JESUS! AMEN!

Mt 10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

The problem here, is that ppl put too much focus on the "instrument" and disregard the power of the Holy Spirit. God can (and does) use numerous and mysterious things to draw ppl to Himself. If God sees fit to use a movie, a song, heck..He even used a donkey to speak His words in the book of Numbers...who are we to question what He chooses to use and do?

"He is the Rock, HIs works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He." Deut. 32:4

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord." Isaiah 55:8

I thought the movie was amazing and have heard countless testimonies of how God has used it for His glory. Therefore I will not be arrogant enough to discredit or speak against something God alone is just and holy enough to judge.

what you said is what I was referring to, an instrument of Christ...The Holy Spirit was definitely involved...

If you can show me how the Holy Spirit can work in a person, from the scriptures, who is depending on works and sacraments for salvation, the means will be justified. Those who justify the means by the end have no standing. The bible says

Ro 10:17  So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

The bible also says

2Ti 4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

What saith the scriptures?
