It is so refreshing to see this type of dialogue opening up!
As Bloo said so eloquently about when and where this topic is appropriate...
the real question is:
Where is this NOT appropriate?
One second after death is too late to be contemplating this most important issue about who Christ is!
Liar?...
Lunatic?...
Or Lord?...
It's up to you to decide for yourself.
Every other topic of conversation in this life is meaningless apart from knowing who Christ is, and having a personal relationship with the Father through Him.
I hope that many who see this film will pick up a Bible and begin to read the Scriptural accounts of Jesus' life, mission, plan, and purpose for giving His very life to save a fallen mankind.
The Bible says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the Word of God.
This means that faithful reading of the Scriptures will build faith, which when infused by the power of the Holy Spirit, will awaken the heart of the individual who seeks God and draw them into a supernatural relationship with Him as His child thus being born again... born of the Spirit of God.
Believing really is seeing!... and I hope that many will have their spiritual eyes opened as a result of this film!
True Christianity is liberating!... and life is too short to miss the real thing!
I thank God for my own salvation which took place in 1989!
Life hasn't been... nor will it ever be the same since!
I couldn't begin to tell you how amazing life has been since that time!... nor could I begin to share in this thread the things that I never imagined I would be able to see or understand apart from a relationship with the Lord!
I hope that those who saw this film will do more than marvel at it's power and depth.
I hope that if any were touched by this film, that they will probe further to know who the Lord is...
Those who search for Him will find Him when they search for Him with their whole heart...
What better a gift can one give another apart from a relationship with the Creator of all things, Who guarantees His children eternal life from the dead... in a physical body no less!...
The loss of the fear of death is one of the first things I had experienced as a born again child of the living God!...
Death has no power over those who are His.
If those out there viewing this thread have not seen this film, you need to see it!...
Where you go from there is up to you.
For those who are skeptical, feel free to PM your questions or comments, as I too was once a skeptic!...
I poured over the evidence before I made my verdict concerning the truth and accuracy of the Bible.
My faith wasn't a mindless leap into a dark chasm, but rather, it was a reasoned response to the overwhelming amount of evidence in support that the Bible is actually true!...
I am more than happy to answer anyone who asks for the reason for the hope that I have as a follower of Jesus Christ.
I'm so happy that Mel Gibson stands as a believer today!
