Is the movie "The Passion of the Christ" Biblically accurate?

 

The Passion

Question: Is the movie "The Passion of the Christ" Biblically accurate?

See Answer: http://ebible.com/answers/54369?ori=6646

So, yes. In Summary, The Passion of the Christ is substantially biblically accurate in its portrayal of Jesus' suffering, crucifixion, death, and resurrection. Rather than following a single Gospel, the film harmonizes the accounts of Matthew 26 to 28, Mark 14 to 16, Luke 22 to 24, and John 18 to 20 into one continuous narrative. It also incorporates Old Testament prophecies such as Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Psalm 31, Psalm 69, Psalm 110, and Daniel 7, along with opening quotations from Isaiah 53:5 and Hebrews 5:8-9.

Nearly every major scene is drawn directly from Scripture, including Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane, Judas' betrayal, Peter's denial, Jesus' trials before Caiaphas, Pilate, and Herod, the release of Barabbas, the scourging, the crown of thorns, the crucifixion, Jesus' seven sayings from the cross, the tearing of the temple veil, the centurion's confession, and the resurrection. The film contains approximately 40 to 60 direct quotations or close paraphrases from about 30 to 40 biblical passages.

That said, the movie is not a substitute for reading Scripture. Some scenes, dialogue, and details are artistic additions or dramatizations that go beyond the biblical text, many of them influenced by historical tradition rather than the Gospels themselves. Nevertheless, its central message of Christ's atoning death and bodily resurrection is faithful to the biblical account and can serve as a powerful visual presentation of the events recorded in God's Word.

What event was Jesus predicting in Luke 17:22-37

 

2A

Question: What event was Jesus predicting in Luke 17:22-37?

See Answer: http://ebible.com/answers/40464?ori=664697

Based on Luke 17:22-37, Jesus was predicting His own dramatic return at the end of the age—a sudden, unmistakable event of both judgment and deliverance. He was not describing a gradual process or a local disaster, but a global, history-ending climax when He will visibly return to gather His people and set the world right.

The Event in Detail:

• Sudden and Universal: Like "lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other" (v. 24), His coming will be visible to all.

• A Time of Division: In that moment, everyday life will be interrupted. As Jesus states, "Two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left" (v. 34-35). This "taking" refers to the gathering of His believers to Himself.

• A Call to Readiness: The key warning is against being preoccupied with the material world (like the days of Noah and Lot). Jesus urges, "Remember Lot’s wife!" (v. 32)—a stark reminder not to cling to this passing world.

• The Final Outcome: The chapter ends with a sobering truth: "wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather" (v. 37). In context, this signifies that judgment will come decisively and inescapably upon a world that has rejected God.

Why This Matters for You Today

This prophecy isn't given to frighten, but to prepare. Jesus describes this future event so that you can make a choice now about where you will stand when He returns.

The central promise of this passage is that His followers will be gathered to Him—rescued, not judged. This is the heart of the Gospel: Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). He already took the judgment you deserve upon Himself on the cross, and He rose again to guarantee eternal life for all who trust in Him.

A Gentle Invitation

Right now, Jesus stands ready to receive you, not based on your goodness, but on His grace. The same Lord who will return in glory is the same Lord who says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

You don't have to fear that future day. You can be among those who are "taken" to be with Him forever by simply placing your faith in Him today.

Would you like to respond to His invitation? You can talk to Him right now in your heart, saying something like:

"Lord Jesus, I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my own way and trust in You alone for my salvation. Thank You for promising to receive me and to return for me. Please give me Your peace and help me to live ready for Your coming."

If you prayed that sincerely, He has promised to hear you. I encourage you to find a Bible-believing community where you can grow in this new faith and share this hope with others. He is coming, and He wants you to be ready with joy, not fear.

Maria is the young girl being held by Steven Curtis Chapman (center, in the black jacket).

This is a formal family portrait of the Chapmans (likely from around 2006–2008, before Maria's death in May 2008). Here's a quick breakdown for context:

Left, kneeling in black suit: Caleb Chapman (biological son).

Next to him, standing in pink dress with large flower: Likely Stevey Joy or Shaohannah (Shaoey).

Center, Steven holding the smallest/littlest girl: Maria Sue Chapman (the youngest adopted daughter, typically identifiable as the baby of the family in these photos).

Mary Beth holding the girl in dark velvet dress with pink flower: The other adopted daughter.

Front, sitting in pink gown: Another daughter.

Right, young woman in red dress: Emily Chapman (oldest biological daughter).

Standing behind right: Will Franklin Chapman (biological son).

Maria was about 4–5 years old in photos from this era and was the smallest of the three adopted girls from China.
