The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum The Passion movie and the 2nd Commandment

I must agree with Kyle; anyone who has the audacity to portray Christ, or any of the three persons of the Trinity in any form is guilty of blaspheming God. I might add, that I also believe that the Third Commandment is also in violation. For a person to portray any of the three persons of the Godhead, they must have a very low estimation of who God is. To "play God" is to put oneself on par with God and dishonor His holy name.

When Christ was revealed to those who believed upon Him as to His true identity, e.g., Peter, what was their reaction? I can assure you that none said to themselves, "You know... I bet I could "image" Christ in a play so well, that most people would say that the two of us are identical!"

Luke 5:8 (ASV) "But Simon Peter, when he saw it, fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord."


Revelation 1:17-18 (ASV) "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades."
