Seeing "The Passion" leads to genital warts and herpes
At least that's what you'd think by reading some of the posts and threads about it.

1. the thing to do is ask yourself....
...how a film portraying Christians as "having killed our God" might make said Christians feel if they were a distinct minority in a given culture...

By focusing on the book of Matthew, Gibson isn't making a "historically accurate" picture, just an incendiary one for true believers...

2. Why do people think that Jesus is God. Wasn't Jesus the son of God?
I heard it in Church a lot. That is why I stopped going. People are worshiping Jesus Christ. Jesus isn't God. HE is the Son of God.

So they didn't kill God, they killed the Son of God. Yes, it is bad but Jesus was a man. We aren't supposed to worship a man we are supposed to worship God.

Please help me with this. I am probably wrong.

3. Well, the trinity....
is complicated. Apparently, they are three, but they are all an incarnation of God. It's really complex and makes no sense. Like when Christ was on the Cross, and he calls out to God...Um...aren't you calling out to yourself? I don't get it...

4. Actually, they worship the Bible
Many of them. Their own interpretation of it, of course.

6. Here it is: the Word = God = Jesus Christ
John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
