Why did so many get offended by "The Passion of the Christ"?

Question

It was no more than a persons view or belief, that in no way mentally or physically will harm you. Well, maybe mentally if you are that feeble.

Answer 1

All the "critics" against "The Passion of the Christ" NEVER VIEWED THE FILM. Is not the criticizing of a “something” without thorough exposure and knowledge of its inner workings a complete and total HYPOCRISY? Absolutely. These critics possessed a “PRESUPPOSED BIAS”, which became their dishonest strategic primary driving force against the film, having the deviant political agenda to thwart its success, popularity and acceptance on the entirely fabricated claims of anti-Semitism. Why, you ask? Because the proponents against “The Passion of the Christ” are, in fact, ANTI-CHRISTIAN. Yet, no anti-Semitism could even be remotely detected throughout Mel Gibson’s entire film. In the post-film release, did the horrible anti-Semitic riots by Christians around the planet materialize against the Jews, and their Synagogues were they violently bombed and completely burned down to the ground as all the critics, FANNING THE FLAMES OF FEAR, claimed would happen? NO! Not even close.

Much to the disappointed chagrin of the critics, “The Passion” was a global blockbuster never before seen, and it broke all previous theater film attendance records. So powerful was this film that theater goers reported actual Supernatural personal healings, miracles and Divine encounters after viewing this Cinematography Masterpiece, literally a three-dimensional Rembrandt. It clearly revealed a hunger for this genre of film entertainment, but Hollywood, traditionally anti-Christian, would prefer to continue producing directionless film properties of lesser pursuits that are barely able to make the bottom line, if even that, because these films promote their corrupt values that are completely diametric to the principled values of most Americans, those who would prefer to see more films like “The Passion”.

Answer 2

Some people do fot know the truth that a man named Jesus was crucified on a cross. The Jewish leaders at the time cohersed the Romans into doing it.


It does not matter if you are a beleiver in Christ or not it happened

IT does not help that the Catholics still blame the jewish people for what happend even though two things. one the jews who were "responsible" have been dead for 2000 years
2 IF the Christ had not died their would be no forgiveness for our sins. So it was for OUR benifit that it happened thats is exactly what he came to earth to do

Answer 3

The only thing about it that bothered me was that so fascinating and moving a story should be told so badly. By removing most of the context of Jesus's life story and just focusing on the violence, Gibson stole from the viewer all the best reasons for feeling compassion for Jesus and outrage that so good a person should meet such a horrific end. Honestly, the Jesus story has been told much more eloquently before. My personal favorite is the Franco Zeffirelli mini-series, _Jesus of Nazareth_.

Oh, and their Latin sucked, too. Can't forget that.

Answer 4

I think that the most offensive thing about "the passion of the christ" is that Mel Gibson took so much "poetic license" when detailing the suffering of Jesus in the hours of his death. The bible says that jesus was "flogged" (beaten with a whip), but it didn't say that toward the end of flogging, the person with the whip took out one with hard sharp metal things on it And it certainly didn't say that on one of that last times he was whipped, the metal stuck into him and tore flesh off when it was pulled back. It is wrong to present Jesus' excruciating pain at death as reason why we should feel indebted to him and then completely make up particularly gruesome acts, for effect.

Answer 5

People have a hard time excepting the fact, that Jesus was really hurt as bad in life, as he was in the movie. It didn't offend me at all. It did, however, give me a lot more compassion for Jesus, and what he had to endure to save all of us from our sins. A lot of people claimed that it was anti-Semitic which I completely disagree with.

Answer 6

gid question

i believe its just a film like any other

entertainment

but then this is meant to be a historical documentation of jesus's life

either u believe it happened and learn from mistakes and better ur life as nothing can change the past like the future

or think nothing of it, treat it like a cartoon film, another made up drama story etc its no doin any harm either way

personally i dont see the big deal about this film

Answer 7

Ok people are beating around the bush here;

It was made with a Catholic view point not a Jewish one and suggested to be anti-semetic.

Answer 8

do those pins hurt? I did not get offended, but i always turn my head to people being put through pain in movies. I love Jesus but Jesus is not the only one to go through suffering in the world. So many people out there are suffering too. Jesus knows this, he knows our suffering because of his time on earth.

Answer 9

I thought it was a good movie, even though I couldn't look at all of the scenes. I think Hollywood fought it because they didn't want to see a Christian movie make money.

Answer 10

Mel Gibson playing a Jew.

mod down -but so worth it.
