Thou Shalt Not Film...
Here's my weekend lecture, and if you're looking for something funny from me, you should probably try back later. This is probably going to be dead serious, because this subject has recently become very important to me. It's also going to be pretty short.
I won't watch the movies The Passion, Jesus, The Nativity Story, or the 'documentaries' about the Lord on TV. The other day, Mom turned one of the latter on, and I couldn't watch it. It gave me the creeps. You can videotape anyone in history, but leave my Jesus alone.
I believe that, because a man who is a sinner would have to pretend to be him. I know, it's just a movie and everyone understands that actors aren't the real person and etc. But that doesn't change it. It's still someone masquerading as my Savior. You all go ahead and watch it. I'll do chemistry homework in my room.
What reminded me of this was a comment I saw in World Magazine. The 16-yo girl who played Mary in The Nativity Story is pregnant out of wedlock. Apparently she and her boyfriend are very happy. I'm not. She pretended to be the mother of my Lord and Master and doesn't even hold his standard of morals, perhaps not even being a Christian? But I guess that, however sad that is, Mary was a sinner, too. That's why we don't worship her. However, it made me wonder how many non-Christians have played Jesus, himself?
Sorry to step on the feet of anyone who likes these movies, but that's my view. Lecture over. :-)
Anyone want to share their thoughts?
