“Son Of God” New Jesus Movie Is The One

[Spock]

I'm excited for this. Praying that God would open eyes and hearts just as he used a mini series to open mine (Jesus of Nazareth).

This is bringing me back memories of the Passion of the Christ. I wondered if many people watching this movie will believe Jesus now. I hope the movies Son of God can be as popular as The Passion of the Christ. . I plead with Billy and Franklin Graham we need a wake up revival. It’s hard to reach the mainstream people that never go to Church.  I am sure many of these people have not heard of Worthy forums either to post along with other Christians. It’s probably considered in today’s generation that it is not so cool to be a Christian. I got that feeling a lot when I went to school also. .

I would be interested to see the Son of God at least 1 time. I really have to admit before I seen the Passion of the Christ I did not reject so much on Jesus Crucifixion. . . you don’t want to keep seeing Jesus being punished. Your saying in your heart get passed this part. But the movie showed us we can’t over look this. 

We can read the Bible but we never lived the hours that Jesus did. Is there anyone that would want to go through this that would be willing to be nailed to a cross? I think it is easier said than done. I’ve been to the Hospital and I suffered less that felt like Eternity. Imagine Jesus was worse than me. I hope the Son of God movie will be a great success. When I mean success I don’t mean money wise. I mean as I hope it will not only capture the attention of existing Christians but this move will want many others to know who God is. Let this movie be an opening door.

If even one person is moved to repentance because of this movie, the movie will be a success, In my opinion.

Hello from Europe.

I myself have doubts about portraying God in film etc .,but whether or not it can subtly 'create' a sense of the Holiness,and greatness  

of Jesus will depend on the extent of the gift of the Holy Spirit, in both the director ,and the actors ; I am quite old,and have seen a few portrayals of Jesus ,(not Mel Gibson's),and there is only one,which name I cannot remember,made in the 50's which captured the 'other worldliness of Him. 

Now that we are talking of films about Jesus ,I would love to find that one.

I hope this movie is as good as Passion of the Christ. I thought that movie was excellent. I believe the graphic display of the punishment and crucifixion of Jesus did a good job of showing the hatred and violence that mankind is capable of. Some people were offended by the truth of the violence and the catholic influence. One of the most touching parts of the movie to me was when they reflected on Jesus in his childhood and he fell and his mom ( Mary) ran to protect him. After the movie it did give me a whole different perspective of Mary. What she had to see her son go thru, had to be devastating.

Can't wait to see Son of God. I thought using the language at the time and subtitles in Passion of the Christ was a genius move by the makers of the movie. And the guy playing Jesus in The Passion will be hard to compete with. He did an excellent job. So to me they have some big shoes to fill but I hope they exceed the Passion of the Christ.

You are probably thinking of, "King of Kings" with Jeffery Hunter.   It was far from Scripturally accurate.  I don't think Jesus was "otherworldly."   Jesus had a pretty good sense of humor and even children, who are the best judges of character in the world, were comfortable around Him.   Too many movies want to portary Jesus as if He walked two feet above the ground.  Frankly, if we walked around acting like how they portray Jesus in those movies, people would think we were pretty weird.  So I don't think Jesus had that "otherworldly" aspect in His personality.

  It is certainly not .That would be a rather matinee idol type of film .

IT must have been Ben Hur .

I don't see how it could be much if any better than the original Jesus film that Campus Crusade has been using to spread the Gospel world wide for years....   i don't even remember how many DVD's of that I've given away.

 

It will be interesting to see how it goes.

I loved the mini-series, Jesus of Nazareth. And, I absolutely loved The Gospel of John. I'm looking forward to seeing this one.
