JESUS CHRIST KING OF ACTIVISTS
Edited on Fri Feb-27-04 11:52 AM by The Democratic Kid
Jesus dying on the cross is the ultimate act of activism. The true meaning of activism is to give of your self for others at all cost. You put your safety, well being and life on the line for a cause because the needs of the Many out way the needs of the few or the one. One of(And there are many) the great gifts that Jesus teaches us is, before you strike out against others for a wrong doing look and see what Jesus went threw and he forgave.You don't have to be a Catholic to understand that forgiveness is the key to saving YOUR SOUL>

1. His crowning act, but not His only one
Never forget His other teachings. To embrace the Crucifixion alone is selfish. It's saying "I don't have to be good. He did it _for_ me."

No. Jesus left us to continue His work. Show love to others. Help the needy. Fight against injustice.

Please, enjoy the fervor the movie "The Passion" seems to be bringing up in Christians, but USE it and put it to work. Go feed a hungry person in His name

2. Amen!!
Absolutely. I'm taking my family tonight, and I am trying to emphasize that His sacrifice was imporant, very important, but no less important are His teachings, and His resurrection.

I hope if Gibson makes another religious movie, it will emphasize the teachings of Jesus, because I think it will open a lot of eyes of fundamentalist "Christians", who can be some of the most hypocritical people walking the planet.

4. Amen, Friend
but remember,even if you and I disagree with some fundamentalist preaching, he died for them too. Lets us be kind and not quick to call names on them to show them a happier road, or we walk a parallel path with them.
