Once to get through the horror of what he went through. The second to capture the story of what Christ went through in his last 12 hours of his life. I watched it when I lived in Billings, Montana-now a resident of Butte, Montana; and we had a major jump in people joining the various religions of Billings. The thing you have to remember is "no one killed Jesus" he had to give up his spirit to God before he could die. And he did that exact same thing on the "Cross". Many various people back then mocked Jesus even his own people not just the Jews and the Romans. He could have saved himself many times throughout his ordeal but He sacrificed himself for our sins. The movie is one I own and watch on Christmas, on Easter, on Thanksgiving, and when I need a spiritual uplifting when things get me down or I can't seem to have a good day. I loved it and Mel Gibson did a great job on it. I watched the movie “Passion of the Christ” and found you have to watch it twice. Once to get through the horror of what he went through.

Recently, I viewed a Dvd, The Big Question, from the cast of the passion and felt bewildered at all these questions that didn't seem to ever point to Jesus. I don't think this is a good film to give to non- Christians or even Christians.All other movies I have ordered from <a href="http://www.christiancinema.com/catalog/default.php" rel="nofollow">this website</a> have been a true blessing.</p> I am so thankful for all the inspiring movies that tell the Gospel and Jesus is Lord.
