Nelson was killed at the battle of trafalgar by the French, does that mean the English are generally anti-French. General Dyer massacred Sikhs at Amritsar, does this mean all Sikhs are anti English? Let me show you something in the link you posted. "Paul, the most important personality in the history of the church, makes a special point of blaming the Jews for the death of Jesus: "[the Jews] killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and persecuted us. (Thessalonians 2:15-16" If you looked at the post I made on Pharisees and Sadducees, you would see that the Sadduccees had been persecuting everyone. You will notice Saul/Paul says Jesus and!! the PROPHETS!!, so others had been killed before Jesus. Most of the soothsayers and prophets came out of the Essenic/Kabbalistic movement. Apart from the general population there were about 7,000 Pharisees, 3,000 Sadducees, and 4,000 Essenics and growing. Unfortunatley as the Sadducees were the rulers, and controlled the temple, they have become identifiable as the Judaics or Jews, as opposed to Pharisees and Essenes. Saul/Paul himself was an admitted Pharisee even when he was organising what later become known as Christianity in Antioch. I saw the movie and didn't find it anti-semitic at all, the only mistake he made was mixing up his Sadducees and Pharisees. Hence this problem today. Yes the violence was heavy but not gratuitous, it was necessary to the message of the Passion or Stations of the Cross the Catholics call it. A film of the Mahabharata war or Ramayana war in Lanka would have been equally violent, or any war. The whole message was an extreme and violent death, taking on karma, and then a resurrection. I believe that he became a Mukta on the Cross and then re-energised Himself as the Krista or Christ. Some say the actual greek word comes from Krista or Krishna itself. I think it would have been better left commenting on, for it is only raising spectres, and politicising it. Michael you are forgetting one thing, this movie was made for Christians who already know the story detail by detail. Does it not say in the old testament in Isaiah, that the Messiah/Avatar/Mukta will be beaten over every inch of his body!!!!!!!!!Let us not make political capital out of this and just take it for what it was made for. Getting into the anti semitic thing just raises all kinds of questions and controversies believe me, especially in this modern world. There are far more violent films and they are gratuitous, this is disturbing but for a valid reason. If Jesus hadn't died thus you wouldn't be talking of him now. He was an avatar of love in a world gone mad, with more divisions than today, especially in Palestine and the Roman Empire....Jesus was rebalancing not only at the daily level but also at the subconscious pattern level of the common human mind..........ONS...Tony. Remember also that Aversion is just Attachment in reverse!!My last word is that the movie was not anti semitic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
