Mary,
You rightly discern the evil that is in the movie, The Passion. There are many more people who are awakening to this delusion. Here is an exelllent article on the matter:
www.LetGodbeTrue.com
As I began writing this, this verse came to my mind: "For what is highly esteemed among men, is an abomination in the sight of God." Luke 16:15b
Jesus said that His way is a very narrow way, and there are very few who will find life.
Many will claim the success of this movie is some sort of blessing from God.
These are the questions that still loom in my mind....
1) How can God bless a work that is impure? A movie that is filled with idolatry, extra biblical mysticism from a Catholic nun. This falls into the category of witchcraft.
2) Many are saying "God can use a donkey" to fullfill His purposes. This statement could be true. But would he use "Porn stars" to create a movie about His Son? (these are current porn stars....not "ex" porn stars)
3) Does this movie violate the 2nd commandment?
4) Will Mel Gibson use the proceeds of this movie to make more bloody, ungodly movies? ( most of his films have been filled with violence and gore)
5) Has Satan used "The Passion" as a recruitment tool for the Catholic Church? ( apparently some of the crew were "converted" during the making of the movie)
6) Mel Gisbon courted Evangelical Pastors in this nation to promote this film. He actually got their blessing. ( Are they all blind? Do they not read the Word of God? Or they willing to accept "artistic license" to "promote the gospel")
7) Has our gospel become so weak and ineffective that we must provide "visual effects" to touch man's wicked heart?
8) Will the graphic nature of the movie "desensitize" people to the real gospel of Jesus Christ?
I read recently that teenagers that are into horror movies are flocking to The Passion. Will they be touched?
My greatest concern is that the blind (the pastors) are leading the blind.Will they both fall into a ditch?There are a few voices in the wilderness that are speaking out against the deception in this movie. And those who do speak out are considered "anti-Christs"
Can the very elect be so deceived?
Creationist,
Thanks for posting Anne Emmerich's work, or shall I say demonic visions. Was she a real "saint" or a witch?
