Title: The Passion of the Christ - symbolism
Post by: World Traveler on April 23, 2011, 02:28:45 AM
I have seen the Passion of the Christ before, but felt like watching it again at this Easter time. So, I just finished watching it on youtube.
Question: During Jesus' beating the devil is shown carrying a baby that turns and grins as he sees Jesus being beaten. What is the baby supposed to be?

That sounds freaky; babies do not sin, they can not sin. I doubt that even the anti-christ will be guilty of sin until he reaches the age of accountability.

It is supposed to show that the devil is copying God having a son. You have to remember this movie is totally Catholic. They give the devil way too much credit all the time.

This is just my personal opinion, so please nobody be offended, but I will not watch that movie (or any movie with an actor posing as Jesus) becasue I think he warned us not to.

Luke 17:22-24 (New International Version, ©2011)

22 Then he said to his disciples, "The time is coming when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see it.
23 People will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running off after them.
24 For the Son of Man in his day[a] will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other.

I know everyone will not interpret this the way I do, I am just offering food for thought.
