Whether you are a black or white, man or woman, Jew or Gentile, the meaning of Mel Gibson’s movie, “The Passion of the Christ” is not anywhere near anti-Semitic.

The meaning of the movie is not to hate or to provoke hate.

While Jesus was carrying his cross, people were hurling rocks at him, spitting at him and mocking him; yet, he still had the heart to pray to is Father and ask for their forgiveness..

It is a movie of what hatred can do to human nature;

Just because Gibson showed how the jews reacted in the movie, it doesn’t mean non-Jews have never done it before.

Judas betrayed Christ, just like many people who have betrayed their friends.

Things that the Jews did in this movie is nothing the public have not seen or done before.

Yes, the movie is violent but it is a crucifixion. It would not be a crucifixion if it were not violent enough, to show the audiences what it was like.

According to the Bible, Jesus died for our sins, and our sins cannot be symbolized as pretty things like flowers.

Sin symbolizes something that hurts like physical pain. That is exactly what was shown throughout the movie.

It would be an unjust portrayal of Jesus’ last day on earth if all of those things were not shown

“The Passion of Christ” is what Gibson thinks happened at that time from all the sources that he has used.

Gibson chose to put violence in that movie just like people who chose to watch the movie.

Some may think it is accurate, while some people may not think so.

In the end, the movie is not a reason to hate a certain religious group; the movie is not about how violent it is.

It is a movie about how passionate Christ is and how willing he is to give up his life for the sins of mankind. Because Jesus died on the cross, we are all forgiven.
