第二位基督徒,名叫Mrs. Michael J. O'Donnell,他的電郵是:[email protected]。他有如下的見證:「我是一位基要浸信會的會友,不幸,我也看過這套電影,現在後悔不已。理由是:
1.我在電影院裡,恰巧坐在一群天主教徒中間,聽到他們不斷稱讚這套電影每一個情節。這套電影一點也沒有提醒他們,天主教的信仰錯在那裡,反而堅固他們對天主教異端信仰的信念[size=medium](每個人都有信仰自由,對不同教派而形容為異端邪說十分要不得。別人不同意你的理念、宗教,你可不理會他,或解釋引領別人相信,或堅固堅守自己信念,凝聚自己宗教力量感化他人,而不是挑弄對立,引起爭端,雖知宗教恐怖狂熱亦由此而起。)。
4.當耶穌對約翰和馬利亞說話,示意他們今後要彼此照顧之時,影片竟然將耶穌示意約翰看馬利亞的話,改為示意看耶穌;又將示意馬利亞看約翰的話,改為示意看耶穌,說:"Woman behold your Son(大草“S”指耶穌), Son behold your Mother(大草“M”,喻馬利亞為『聖母』)"。但聖經的字句卻不是這樣,約翰福音記載說:「耶穌見母親和他所愛的那門徒站在旁邊,就對他母親說:『婦人,看你的兒子。』 又對那門徒說:『看你的母親。』從此那門徒就接他到自己家裏去了。」(約19:26-27)影片又在聖經以外,加多一段,形容馬利亞走到十字架下面,然後說:“flesh of my flesh, heart of my heart, please let me die with you." (我肉中的肉,我心中的心,請你讓我與你同死吧!)這樣的表達,分明是天主教故意加上去,為要強化馬利亞有份於耶穌的受苦,和救贖工作,因而可以成為天主教所強調的「輔助救贖中保」。[size=medium](我相信天主教有不同的看法,如前述,天主教和基督教的聖經有所不同,我不欲引起爭端,只能說大家的聖經有所分歧。)
5.最後還有一點異端成份,我認為最該受咒詛的(我想就算你受攻擊,亦應用較溫和的字眼。我看過吳主光和另一些基督教對天主教更惡毒的辱罵,我承認歷史上天主教在某段很長時間,做錯了很多事,至使有基督教的出現。但這不是天主教的錯,而是那時教會中當權者的錯。有分歧故使有分離,但天主說要原諒、愛你的仇人,何況辱罵。中國人一句說話「道不同不相為謀」就是了。不是阿公做賊,祖宗不認,後代蒙污。),因為這一點所教導的,就是天主教所強調,耶穌在十字架上的工作,未足以造成救贖恩典。因為片中的耶穌臨死時,說:“It is accomplished”。希臘文的用詞是“'epiteleo'”,意思是“to fulfill further, perform, undergo, bring to pass, or do”(進一步實現、履行、經歷、發生、或做)。但英文King James Bible所說的卻是:“It is finished”,其希臘文是“teleo”,意思是“to end, complete, perfect, conclude, make an end”(完了、完成、完全、總結、使之完結)。所以,讀者可以看到,導演詭詐地將“finished”改為“accomplished”,為要支持天主教所相信的,耶穌基督在十字架上所作的工,未能完全,還需要你藉著彌撒、聖禮…等工作來補足,才能得救。這是多麼陰險的手段.我求神饒恕我看這套電影的罪,並清除我腦海中,任何來自這套電影的影像。
6.最後我還要加一句,影片最後的十五秒鐘,顯示釋演耶穌的Gibson從墳墓裡走出來的時候,竟然是全身赤裸的。這樣,觀眾就在腦海中留下一個裸體耶穌的影像,永遠不能磨滅。我認為這是一種褻瀆!!![size=medium](人是赤身而來世上,赤身而去。難道在天堂上每人都有自己喜愛的衣服?每天不停換新衣?看見裸體雕像而生非非之想,是個人修養問題。)
JCLY,
I read your every single word that you wrote. I agree with the comments you made. BUT really surprised that you said you're more for Buddism now as I can tell from your replies that you know how JESUS loves you/the world. May I know more?
Thanks for your prompt and frank reply. To be fair, I shall share what I believe with you.
a) I believe we cannot do / earn a "ticket" to heaven, it's merely grace (100% free gift) from GOD. IF we put all our bad and good deeds on a balance, there will always be a stress on the bad side. You see, if you take 佛教理念/思想 as a standard, it says there may be 72 evil thoughts come out from our mind at only one second, who dare to say he/she does more good than bad. If only those who do good more than bad could go to heaven, there would be NONE in the heaven after all.
b) I believe if GOD only wants those GOOD people enter heaven, HE would not create man kind, for the bible said The heart (human being) is deceiful above all things. I believe GOD wants EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING to enter the heaven at the end of the day for GOD LOVE US SOME MUCH!. Just like if you have 2 children, the first one is talented and 真善之心作人, the second one is not smart and rather 人云亦云. When they are both sick would you only take the first one to the doctor but leave the second one to die?
After all, you may have left out the most important part of the bible. LOVE, for GOD Love us so much that HE sent His son to die for us. "……因他受了鞭傷,我們才得醫治。」(以賽亞書五十三章5節)
JESUS LOVES YOU AND HE DIED FOR YOUR SINS. HE DIDN'T ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING TO EARN FOR HIS LOVE FOR HE HAS ALREADY GIVEN TO YOU. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
嘉理子,
Don't worry, I believe we all understand that was not "written" by you BUT I thought you would only AGREE what "NG" had written if you posted here.
