[ Christianisme ]

Hi

J'ai lue un tres bon article dans worthynews.com, a propos du film La Passion du Christ.

J'inclue la version original en anglais, je resume pour ceux qui ne lise pas
l'anglais, des millier de musulman dans plusieurs pays
Arabes vont voir le film La Passion du Christ, bon nombres on chercher a trouver
des Bible pour connaitre la Parole. J'espere que des chrétiens vont réussir a passer le film "La Passion du Christ" en secret en Chine et en Inde.

Tenn. (BP)--Mel Gibson's new movie, "The Passion of The Christ," is drawing
large and enthusiastic crowds to theaters in the Arab world.

News reports from all over the Middle East indicate a high level of popular
interest -- and surprising openness among governmental and religious leaders
toward the movie, which graphically depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus' life.

Muslims respect Jesus as a prophet in the same way they regard Moses and
Muhammad. Though they have been taught that He did not die on the cross or
rise from the dead, they believe He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless
life. In Arabic, He is called “Isa al-Masih” -- Jesus the Messiah.

Christians in the region believe that widespread viewing of the film could
leapfrog barriers of confusion and give large numbers of Muslims an
opportunity to understand who Jesus Himself said He was, according to a report
circulated by Joel News (http://www.joelnews.org).

“The film is so popular here that they have been canceling the other films to
show ‘The Passion’ in all the theatres at the cinema complex,” said a
Christian living in Kuwait. “I would estimate that well over 50 percent of the
people in the theatre were local Muslims including women completely veiled.

“You could see how this film had impacted everyone. On the second day, several
of the local newspapers had the advertisement for the film on the front page.”

Audiences in Qatar, like those in the United States, were deeply moved by the
sight of Jesus' suffering.

"All of us watched the film in absolute amazement in what God had done," said
a Christian living in that country. "The Muslims sitting around us were being
moved -- gasping, crying and reacting with disgust to the brutality that Jesus
faced."

Accusations that "Passion" is anti-Semitic actually have sparked Arab interest
in seeing it, the Christian in Qatar said. Since Arab Muslims are taught to
hate Jews, they want to see "Passion."

"How interesting that God is using this film to communicate the Gospel and the
very opposite spirit that might be motivating them to go and see it," the
believer said. "The message to love your enemies, and Jesus praying for them
to be forgiven while on the cross, would hit the Muslim theatergoer in a
powerful way."

Arab Muslims in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are flocking to see the movie, and
Arabs in neighboring countries are eagerly waiting for its release.

"Passion" reportedly is even showing in Saudi Arabia -- a country that has no
movie theaters -- through pirated DVDs.

The film is generating new interest in Jesus and the Gospels, which Arabs call
the "Injil."

The Christian living in Kuwait wrote: “Just today a couple of local women
asked me, ‘Do you have the New Testament in Arabic? Me and all my friends want
to read it!’ Another asked about where to get the Arabic Bible on the
Internet. This has never happened!

"Pray that many would watch this movie and that it would spark an interest and
hunger to know more of Jesus and the Bible," the believer added. "Pray that
hearts would be drawn by the love of Jesus." "---------

effectivement tres bon film et en tant que musulman c est bien de le voir

Christianisme [Pentecôtiste]

Moi, personnellement, en tant que Chrétienne Évangélique, je refuse d'aller voir ce film

1èment: Parce qu'il n'est pas fidèle à la Bible Chrétienne, et ce malgré la publicité qui l'entoure.

2èment: Parce que je sais trop bien que je ne saurais pas tolérer des cènes qui tortureraient mon époux.

3èment: Parce que ce film promulge, non seulement le Catholicisme, mais une forme de Catholisme débordant de superstition erronées et absurde.
