Passion
of the Christ movie
I
have seen Mel Gibson's movie Passion of the Christ, which contained much
non-biblical matters compared with the message of the Bible. In the film can
be seen marks from catholic apparition beliefs and marks from catholic
traditions, which are not biblical truths. The film concentrated only to
whipping and crucifixion of Jesus and showing of Mary, but it didn't include
the message from the grace of God and forgiveness of the sins and that
salvation, which is in Jesus Christ.
Anne Catherine Emmerich’s
mystic visions
This
text is translated from my Finnish article about the movie Passion of the
Christ. Mel Gibson admitted, that he has used in the film visions of Anne
Catherine Emmerich, who were catholic stigmatic and catholic nun, who got
every year blood mark of Jesus to her body. Gibson believes, that visions of
this nun are from God, but the Bible proves visions of Anne Catherine Emmerich
to be non- biblical. Because there in the Bible is
not those Anne Catherine Emmerich’s visions. And when they are not in the
Bible, so they are non-biblical visions, which source is in the darkness.
Mary said so be it
Mary in the film wakes up and experiences
pain at the same time as Jesus Christ was imprisoned. This scene is vision of
the nun, which promote station of catholic Mary, which is however non-
biblical. Mary also says so be it, when Jesus was captured. Imprisoning and
death of Christ was beforehand-defined decision of Father, it was not a
decision of Mary. In the film words, which Mary says: "so be it " purpose of
it was promoting station of Mary. Catholic church teaches in catechism:
" 969 "This
motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the
consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained
without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the
elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by
her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal
salvation .... Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church
under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."510
RCC teaches that Mary has savings
office, in other words through her intercession, she brings to the Catholics
gifts of eternal salvation. Bible teaches, that by way of redemption work of
Jesus Christ people get eternal salvation; In other words people receive
salvation through faith to Jesus Christ and not through Mary.
In the Gethsemane
In the film snake wriggled towards Jesus, and
Jesus crushed snake with His feet in the Gethsemane; the Bible doesn't tell
from this anything. Jesus crushed on the cross power of satan, and through
this incident people can receive salvation and get free from the slavery of
the sin and satan. Scene of snake wriggling in this film is from the vision of
Emmerich. In the film satan whispers to Jesus, that Jesus cannot carry the
sins of the people, which is from the vision of Emmerich. But the Bible
doesn't tell us, that satan was whispering in the Gethsemane to Jesus that He
can't carry the sins of the people.
Jesus hangs in the bridge
In the film is also a scene, were soldiers
throw Jesus down from the bridge; this scene is from the vision of Emmerich.
When Jesus was hanging head downwards He sees Judas. Such event is not in the
Bible.
The film is antisemitic
The film is very anti-Semitic, especially a
scene, in which Jew children changed like possessed by evil spirits when they
harassed Judas. Why Gibson in his film shoot those children like possessed by
evil spirits? The film is very anti-Semitic and this scene stupid and absurd
proves it. When Gibson shoot these Jew children as possessed by evil spirits
it is proof from intentional misrepresentation, and it is clearly indication
from anti-Semitic. In the Bible is not this scene. Mel Gibson is mocking Jews
and film is anti-Semitic.
Catholic church has been
its whole history antisemitic and it can be seen also in this
film. Barabbas also presented in this film like insane, even though
hardly Barabbas seriously behaved like lunatic. In the visions of
Emmerich are also antisemitic, in that her visions Jews are described
often as the insane and demonic, and so antisemitic roots of the film is
clearly in sight also in this film.
Peter forbad Jesus not Mary
According to the film, when Peter forbade
Jesus, he ran to Mary and admit his deceit to Mary and says Mary as mother. In
the Bible Peter don't run to Mary. Furthermore, in the Bible Peter don't say
Mary as mother, not even once. Peter committed a sin against Jesus, not Mary,
in that Peter forbade Jesus, not Mary. When this film is a scene where Peter
said Mary as mother this purpose is emphasizing catholic church doctrine, in
which Peter as Pope admit that Mary is the mother of the church, even though
Mary is not mother of Peter, and Peter is not Pope, and Mary is not mother of
Christians. Catholic church teaches that Mary is the mother of all Catholics.
This was the purpose of the film; promote Mary for the mother of all Catholics
and perhaps promote her mother of all people.
Supernatural ness of Mary
In the film Mary has been made for
supernatural person, who in addition to Jesus, saw satan concretely.
Mary also in the film sensed where Jesus was as the imprisoned and she lands
to the floor of the temple just the place above, in which Jesus was.
This scene is not in the Bible.
In the film is described suffering of Jesus and
when He is carrying His gross and He in His sufferings falls and looks at
Mary, He gets power. In the other scene of the film Mary runs towards Jesus
who was lying in the ground and Mary comfort Jesus; In the Bible is not such
place. In this scene is shown at the same time how Mary runs towards Jesus,
when He was a little child and Mary helps and comfort Jesus. Mary is really
described in this film accordance with catholic doctrine; Catholic doctrine
teaches from Mary that she is: Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix,
but the Bible not teach Mary like this. Jesus is the Mediator and Saviour and
the way to Father.
There is a scene in the film,
in which Jesus is whipped and in the film is shown that also Mary was there,
even though the Bible don't tell this anything that Mary was there. Whole time
of a whipping scene is shown alternately Jesus and alternately Mary. In the
film comes all the time into view emphasis of Mary, even though the center
point of the Bible is Jesus Christ and His redemption, not Mary. A whipping
scene seem to show that Christ was whipped two times with 39 hit, even though
Christ was whipped only once with 39 hit. In a whipping scene is shown how
satan holds in his lap small children and when a small child turns his head so
his face is demonic.
In a whipping scene of the film Mary comes to
Jesus who is lying in the ground and when Jesus looks to Mary Jesus got power
to get up. This scene got also Roman soldiers to surprise. In the Bible are
not previous scenes. The film makes from Mary as a person, who has power and
charisma, which helps and comforts. Just like Catholic Church teach about
Mary.
The Bible concentrates on Christ and His death
and His resurrection, which as the consequence through the faith to Christ
people get forgiveness of the sins.
The Bible so describes Christ as helper, who
saves and helps and comfort, not Mary.
In the film also the wife
of Pilate brings linen to Mary, very same way as vision of Emmerich, but the
Bible doesn't mention from this anything. This film emphasizes station
of Mary all the time and adds to film the scenes from Mary, which the Bible
does not tell anything to us.
One eye is the mark of the foolish
shepherd
The film shows Jesus as one eye whole time of
sufferings exception are those scenes, where are return back at the time
before suffering. A right eye of Jesus has closed in the film since starts the
suffering of Jesus.
Zec 11:
15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee
yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd
in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek
the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth
still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17 Woe to the idol shepherd that
leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye:
his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Why does film present Jesus as one eye and
thus that right eye of Jesus was closed? Why Gibson present from Jesus such
picture and distinguishing marks, which are distinguishing marks of the
foolish shepherd? New world order mark is one eye, which supervises all over
the world. This mark from one eye is a mark from the power of Anti-christ; In
other words, were the message of Gibson communicates by way of the film coming
of anti-christ, in that Catholicism prepares it through ecumenicalism.
Pope practices
ecumenicalism with Buddhist and pope has said, that Buddhism is religion of
salvation. Pope kissed the Koran year 1999. Kiss of the Pope is
indication from large respect towards Islamic and Koran, and towards the religion
of the whole Islam. Pope pursues ecumenicalism with Islamic religion
representatives. Pope speaks openly, so that catholic church respects
the religion of Islam.
Pope advocate from the
matter of ecumenicalism very enterprisingly, but Pope advocate ecumenicalism
from catholic perspective. Pope writes in his circular letter ut unum sint
five points, which all ecumenist must accept, so that they can achieve unity.
Speech of Pope as italic and my comments with normal text:.
78. In the ecumenical
movement, it is not only the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches which
hold to this demanding concept of the unity willed by God. The orientation
towards such unity is also expressed by others.[129]
Ecumenism implies that the
Christian communities should help one another so that there may be truly
present in them the full content and all the requirements of "the
heritage handed down by the Apostles".[130] Without this, full communion
will never be possible. This mutual help in the search for truth is a sublime
form of evangelical charity.
The documents of the many
International Mixed Commissions of dialogue have expressed this commitment to
seeking unity. On the basis of a certain fundamental doctrinal unity, these
texts discuss Baptism, Eucharist, ministry and authority.
From this basic but partial
unity it is now necessary to advance towards the visible unity which is
required and sufficient and which is manifested in a real and concrete way,
so that the Churches may truly become a sign of that full communion in the
one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church which will be expressed in the
common celebration of the Eucharist.
This journey towards the
necessary and sufficient visible unity, in the communion of the one Church
willed by Christ, continues to require patient and courageous efforts. In
this process, one must not impose any burden beyond that which is strictly
necessary (cf. Acts 15:28).
79. It is already
possible to identify the areas in need of fuller study before a true
consensus of faith can be achieved:
1)
the
relationship between Sacred Scripture, as the highest authority in matters of
faith, and Sacred Tradition, as indispensable to the interpretation of the
Word of God;
If you believe this, so then you
have to believe non- biblical gospel of the catholic church and traditional
knowledge and tradition of the catholic church, which is not biblical, but
non-biblical.
2)
the
Eucharist, as the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, an offering of
praise to the Father, the sacrificial memorial and Real Presence of Christ
and the sanctifying outpouring of the Holy Spirit;
If you believe this, so then is
broken redemption work of Calvary. Catholic church teaches, so that in the
mass offering is sacrificed Christ once again, and each time on the bloodless
way. Catholic church teaches in old Finnish catechism, that mass offering is
the most powerful offering. The Bible tells, that redemption work of Calvary
is the most powerful offering, and it is one offering, which has taken place
once. In the new covenant is one offering and that offering can’t repeat again
and again, but it has taken place once in the Calvary.
3)
Ordination,
as a Sacrament, to the threefold ministry of the episcopate, presbyterate and
diaconate;
If you believe this, so you have to admit
catholic church bishops and priest's non-biblical doctrines as the truth.
4)
the
Magisterium of the Church, entrusted to the Pope and the Bishops in communion
with him, understood as a responsibility and an authority exercised in the
name of Christ for teaching and safeguarding the faith;
If you believe this, so you have to believe
catholic doctrine about station from the Pope, which is completely non-
biblical. And when you believe this so then from the Pope comes your spiritual
authority, and you have to submit yourself to his teachings.
5)
the
Virgin Mary, as Mother of God and Icon of the Church, the spiritual Mother
who intercedes for Christ's disciples and for all humanity.
If you believe this, so you
have to believe the teaching of the catholic church
about Mary, which is
completely non- biblical. There belongs also worship of Mary.
These
five points so Pope requires all ecumenists to believe. Pope and catholic
church make to enterprisingly work, so that those above-mentioned five points
would become filled up and that other religions and churches and denominations
also would accept those five points. Those five points belong also along to
ecumenical work. Doctrine of the catholic church is anti-Christian teaching.
Catholic church with ecumenical work prepares coming of the Anti-Christ to the
world. So were Gibson's film, in which Christ has described as the one eye the
accident or expose allowed by God about it, that what is the spirit of this
film. Or do Mel knows that one eye is a mark of the foolish shepherd?
Suffering way towards Calvary and
the events of Calvary
In the film is described accordance with
vision of Emmerich wandering of Jesus towards Calvary when He carries His
cross. Jesus is put in the film to fall number of times accordance with
vision of Emmerich.
In the film when Jesus is
in Calvary, in which His right hand is stretched when they hit nails through
His hands, this is from the vision of Emmerich. The Bible doesn't tell
anything from this right hand stretch.
In the film when Jesus was
crucified to the cross, so He was turned upside. The Bible doesn't tell that
he was turned helter-skelter. In the film also nails were hit through from the
palm, but as a matter of fact nails were hit however between from the small
bones of wrist, and not through palm. Through palm hit nails would have torn
palms and broken it, because crucified had to support themselves at their
hand, that they wouldn't choke. In other words, Jesus wouldn't stay on the
cross, if Him would be crucified by the way of the film. In the film and in
the doctrine of RCC is not the right message of crucified Christ. It also
exposes to us doctrine of the mass offering:.
In the catholic church teaches,
that in the mass offering is sacrificed Christ once again, and each time on
the bloodless way. Catholic church does not have right gospel of Christ, and
it not have the right gospel.
In the film is also vision of the Emmerich, in which above of the head of
another crucified criminal becomes black raven which pecks him to the head.
Bible doesn't tell from this anything.
In the film Mary looks to Jesus who is on the cross and says, if I could die
with Him. Such place is not in the Bible, but this is accordance with catholic
doctrine and added to film by this reason. In that catholic church teaches
that Mary is Co-redemptrix, in that Mary took part for the suffering of Christ
on the cross. Mentioned above is God's mockery, because Christ alone is the
Redeemer and Mary has not any part to the redemption which taken place on the
cross of Calvary.
In the film when Jesus
dies so are shown the whole temple going in two parts accordance with vision
of Emmerich, even though the Bible tells that only the veil of the temple torn
in two parts.
In the film Mary goes to
Jesus who is hanging on the cross and kisses from His bloody foot. In this is
purpose again promote station of Mary with respect to redemption, in that the
Bible not tell that Mary kissed on the cross the feet of Jesus. Catholic
church teaches, that Mary has therole of Redemptrix, and that's why this film
is full of scenes from Mary, which the Bible doesn't tell anything to us. In
the film is shown in accordance with the catholic belief, that when Jesus died
so Mary came and held Him in her lap, even though Bible don't tell this. Bible
tells that Joseph of Arimathaea and Nicodemus took the body of Christ, and
they wrap His body, and then they took the body of Jesus and bound it in
linens, with the spices, as is usual in burial of Jews in the times of Jesus.
And they put Him inside to the new tomb, which was in the garden. In the film
is clearly emphasized station of Mary.
The film comes to an end there when Christ goes out from the grave as naked in
the movie also flashes bare right buttock of the actor who play the role of
Jesus. Bible describes Jesus as King of the kings. Why does film end to
showing of bare buttock? Why film doesn't end to the message for forgiveness
of the sins? That's why because catholic gospel not preach right gospel, just
faked gospel, which concentrates too much on Mary, just as in the film.
The film also concentrates
to whipping and crucifixion of Christ, but film does not tell the forgiveness
of the sins, but gormandize with the sufferings of Christ. The film has been
made too much from the base of vision of Emmerich and concentrates to Mary and
for the suffering of Christ; In other words, film is catholic gospel, every
doesn't bring into view the salvation message and not forgiveness of the
sins', just only suffering of Christ and Mary. By way of the film, it's said,
that few Arab's have come to faith; I recommended spreading of the gospel
accordingly the Bible to Muslim and to all other people and not catholic
gospel by Gibson, every is full of non- biblical vision of Emmerich.
Anointment of the God still comes from the mercy-seat of God and not from the
Hollywood. Jesus gave to His disciple command to go into all the world and
preach the gospel; this command is not given by non-believers, but disciple of
Christ. And so the disciples of the Jesus Christ awake to preach the gospel of
the grace, love and truth about Jesus Christ. Preach it to this world, which
in the slavery of satan and sin.
Testimony of the catholic world
news
News of the catholic world informed from the
film as follows:.
http://www.cwnews.com/news/viewstory.cfm?recnum=29863
Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774- 1824),
a German mystic and stigmatist, has enjoyed a renewed popular appeal during
the past year because her visions served as the basis for Mel Gibson's movie,
The Passion of the Christ. A nun who was confined to her bed by illness for
years, she recorded at length her visions of the Passion.
A catholic world recognizes visions of Emmerich
from the film and says, that visions of Emmerich are as the basis for Mel
Gibson's movie. Catholic testimony is clear, which can't deny, that as the
basis of Gibson's movie are non- biblical visions.
Mel Gibson says that he has read Emmerich's book: The Dolorous Passion of Our
Lord Jesus Christ. Mel Gibson has admitted for the example television
interview to Dianne Sawyer, that he took much material to his film from Anne
Catherine Emmerich.
The lightning during the shooting
What is the opinion of God from the film? During the
shooting lightning struck to Jim Caviezel, when was a shoot scene from
mountain sermon. The lightning struck also Jon Mikalin, who worked in film as
helper. Jim has said about this: “I felt
giant tremendous slap on my ears and a few seconds of a pink, red static
in front of my eyes.. ...... What they saw was fire coming out the right and left
side of my head. Illumination around the whole body. Makers of the film have certainly interpreted
for the mark of the illumination for approval of God. However, if this
lightning thing is true, what they experience during the scene of mountain
sermon, so thunderbolt not been the approval of God to film, just on the
contrary the mark from God, that film don’t please God.
There is used lightning in
the Bible example as the mark from coming of Jesus and also as mark when satan
falling out of Heaven as lightning. What previous lightning means? When
lightning flashes on behalf of Christ, then is always a question from truth.
But when lightning flashes to satan is a question from the lie. Why lightning
struck to shoot scene? That's why because it was the mark of the judgement,
not blessing, because the film has made mainly accurately from the base of the
non- biblical visions. God does not bless the lie, in that for the example
visions of Emmerich promote Mary and distort it how the matters took place in
the Bible. Furthermore, so all believers have to reason wake up ahead of all
facts, and to give their approval to the truth not to the lie.
