Off topic:
Some people here talk about how Christians have set aside our historical and doctrinal confessions so they can see the movie.
I'm not so sure that is the case.
I don't think anyone in my generation could name even two confessions to me. We have forgotten the confessions completely.
This kind of apathy is why we needed a Reformation. Augustine already had pinned down a lot of the doctrines of grace, but for some reason those went forgotten and ignored and horrible things happened in the time between.
On Topic:
If anything I do appreciate the spiritual exercise we've all gone through, whatever our verdict on the movie is.
While I think it would be easy to see the movie based on some of the statements here, these are my conclusions:
1) I do not want my perception of Christ tarnished yet again by another white, decently attractive American who just went to the tanning bed for a few days. Before now I did not have a choice and I had no ability to grasp these concepts when movies were showed to me.
2) [b:f70f6a300c][u:f70f6a300c][i:f70f6a300c]Pansy Evangelism[/i:f70f6a300c][/u:f70f6a300c][/b:f70f6a300c] - Sure, it MAY be used as evangelism, but I'm betting that Christians are so eager to "save someone" and will assume that someone crying as they exit the theater will have had a "salvation experience."

uzzled:
3) If one friend (unsaved) asks me to go to the movie, I will go to it with him, however, I doubt he will, and we've discussed the controversy enough to where we both have come up with number 4:
4) If the movie has music in it, I certainly will NOT see it. Music is very psychologically potent and the results from the images of the crucifixion powerful enough to not reveal something new to my spirit, but put me into a simple equation that has a specific result.
That said, I agree, salvation DOES occur in spite of everything we try to throw in its way.
