Mel Gibson???

[GerdaHannah]

hi,

I was reading about Mel Gibson today and how he left his wife and children to live with his girlfriend, and I could not believe it!!!

Could a man who directed Passion for the Christ really do this?

I saw the movie when I was fifteen, so the Jewish thing and catholic ideas people had a problem with really did not affect me. All I saw was what Christ went through for me, and it really touched me, it brought me closer to Him. So many people I know have changed to Christianity after seeing that movie. So many have mended their ways after seeing what God went through for them.

How could a man who made such a movie leave his wife to live with his mistress!

Has Gibson asked me to marry him, I would have said yes in a flash because the kind of movie he made touched me a lot. I thought it was a good insight into his character. And now, to think this has happened has made me very sad. Even some Godly men commit such grave mistakes.

It shows we can put our trust in nobody,not our children, parents or spouses. We can totally trust only God.

Amen for that, it makes Him even more precious.

The news must be slow there. This happened a LONG time ago. He has a child with the woman, I believe. Do not place your sights on mortal man. You will be left disappointed.

Yeah, he is only a man, a man placed on a pedestal by man, but only a man no less.

Yes, it is sad but not all Christians are saints. We do make mistakes sometimes but we repent and try to be better. When people do not repent that is really bad I think.

What Believer1997 says is true; this happened about four years ago. But don't just decide that Mel Gibson is bad; he's just a man, weak as we all are. Pray for him instead.

None of us are flawless. And what people need to understand is that Satan works very hard to destroy marriages and relationships wioth others. People fight against each other, but never recognize who's really behind it all. Satan devises schemes against marriages, and gets people to do things that will hurt the other. People end up not being happy with the person they married, thus they end up having an affair and leaving their spouse for someone else.

How could King David sleep with another man's wife and then have him murdered?

Ahh, very good point.

And David was said to be a man after God's own heart.

We all fight our demons, I'm afraid. I forced myself to watch Passion; very graphic and terrible. He went thru so much for me. (us) No greater love . . .

God used the movie for good, but that does not mean Mel Gibson was a righteous man. It means he was a very religious man. A person can be under conviction (realize he is full of sin and acknowledge God), but not repent. His deeds were not godly, he used filthy language in movies, in real live he was a drunk and womanizer. I don't see any seeds of righteousness in the man. The bible says that every man that says Lord, Lord will enter into heaven, but he that doeth the will of the father.
