Question:
Passion Of The Christ?

I just recently watched the Passion of the Christ, well it was a year or so back but have been scared to ask the question.

Well, as I was watching this movie, I found myself laughing at Mel Gibson (Jesus Christ) being whipped and killed.

Which, brings me to the fear of my question, am I going to hell? I am a strong cristian, but I found some weird things that make me think more about Satan, other than God and our Lord and Savior.

For example, I have a cross above my bed, with two nails in it. It seems that I have to turn the cross right side up, I renail it every morning, and I've even moved it across the room, everytime I wake up... I look at the cross and it is upside down. Which is a Satanic symbol, I'm starting to scare myself, but I also seem to have alot of evil thoughts running through my mind, including dreams. Like a dream that has been happening every Saturday to Sunday night. The dream is that I am hurting innocents in Hell.

Can anyone help, please. I'm deperate

Passion of the Christ was Directed by Mel Gibson but as you saw it wasn't actually him. That movie was great (the affects and emotion) I am not a Christian but I don't think you are going to hell. You haven't done anything wrong. If you think that laughing at a movie is wrong and you will go to hell for it then..... I would be scared to come to your religion. It depends on what you were laughing at! Were you laughing at the acting or were you not believing that that happened? That's really important in whether you should be feeling guilty or not.

Secondly- The cross thing is kind of scary. The dreams are ok though (its thoughts and nothing really) But are you sure you haven't left a window open or something, or maybe its your little sis or bro that are playing a trick on you.

So think of why you laughed and what the reason was when you did. If you think it's bad then ask God to forgive you as he is the forgiver. The devil will always be around us but we have to fight and be strong not to let him follow us everywhere and listen to him.

Good Luck and I hope you stop experiencing these thoughts.

rOah :D

Well, if you're serious, I suggest going to talk to a therapist about it and having some tests run. I also wouldn't rule out talking to a priest or pastor (I don't know your denomination). I don't put a lot of stock into these kinds of things, but I understand that there is still a lot we don't know yet. If you feel strongly about it, I'd exhaust both of those options to find out what's going on. Also, I have nightmares and bad thoughts, but I don't think I'm possessed. It's human nature. But the cross thing... I dunno. If this isn't a joke, first make sure you don't have a sleep disorder that could cause you to mess with the cross in your sleep (could also account for your dreams), and then go to a priest or pastor if that doesn't help.

Mel Gibson directed that movie. James Cavezel (pardon me if that's misspelled) played the title character.



I watched it, too. Once. It struck me as the most antisemitic piece of trash since Hitler and Goebbels produced "Triumph of the Will" back in the 1930s. Gibson's bigotry was too obvious for words. There were a couple dozen historical and physiological errors that would take too long to document.



That movie accomplished what it set out to do: Enhance Catholic guilt. It was otherwise totally gratuitous and unrealistic.



As for your cross... you might be a sleepwalker. Maybe you should talk to your physician. People do weird stuff during somnambulent periods, things they wouldn't even think of while awake.

Dont worry dude,there is no hell or heaven...everybody wins!

Im an atheist,and get called a devil worshiper because I have ecclesiophobia-and badly,seeing a cross or a church literally makes me cry and sometimes vomit.Uck,I know.And I really am being serious about that..but to believe in the devil,I'd have to believe in G*d..which I don't,I hate all religions with a passion-there is no proof.But at the same time,I dont try and turn everybody in to Atheists.Maybe try taking the cross down off the wall?? xxx

interest performs (plural) have been situation-unfastened in the midsection a while, and because few human beings spoke Latin, the language of the Bible, they have been usually adorned alongside with areas from hymns and classic ideals. Even after the interpretation of the Bible into situation-unfastened language, that they had non-Biblical aspects extra in them. the main fashionable version is the Oberammergau interest Play, which replaced into rather antisemitic. It has considering the fact that been edited to be much less so. It lasts 7 hours alongside with a lunch destroy. i've got not seen Mel Gibson's action picture, yet whilst it contains classic aspects from interest performs, that's the place countless the antisemitism could come from.

I also saw that movie, But I never saw anything to laugh about, You say you are a christain, yet you think more about satan then God, Something here tells me there is something wrong with your salvation, Because, once we are born again, we think on heavenly things & we have the mind of Christ, we are saved by the renewing of our minds.-----------Don't worry you are not the anti-christ, True, you may have a anti-christ spirit on you, But you are not the anti-christ Mentioned in Revelations, Friend believe me, I have read Revelations, In my 38 yrs as a Christain, Don't you think that I have not read Revelations, I have read it & I also understand it. The Anti-Christ that will sit himself up in the temple to be worship as God will come from as the bible says, From a city that sits on 7 hills, & there is only one city that sits on 7 hills, & that is Rome, & that is where the Vatican is at, therefore tell your priest that he is the one that is carrying an anti-christ spirit on him, Because the anti-christ will be the number of a man, & that number comes from the Pope.

First, it was Jim Caviezel(or however you spell it) that played Jesus.



Second - is it possible that the cross piece is slipping down the cross? I don't know how the cross is made.



Third - an upside down cross is not a satanic symbol. St. Peter was cruicified upside down. Surely you don't think he was being satanic?



What IS satanic, though, is an upside down CRUCIFIX, that is, a cross with Jesus on it.



If you don't believe me, ask a satan worshipper (not that you'd know one). Upside down crosses are worthless to them.

mel gibson wasn't actually in the movie, he just directed it i think.



i'll assume you're not joking with this.

i don't know what to say, the cross upside thing (even with 2 nails in it?) is reason for concern. try to recite some bible verses like psalm 23 in your room and see what happens.

I watched this movie too. And it was a violence movie. for your case, i think maybe you're thinking too much. I am not Christian. so I'm not sure whether you can move away the cross above your bed from the current position? maybe nail it slightly upper and see will it happens again..

I am a catholic and belive strongly in God, the question is do you think you are going to heaven? I would do some strong soul searching becuse it's God who going to decide wheather you go to his Heaven. I think you have some deep issue to deal with, has something you done made you think of your going straight to hell?

You are clearly suffering from opression. What kind of music do you listen to? What movies have you been watching? You are letting something influence your life in a disturbing way.

Good luck, and I hope God may set you free!

You're pretty messed up there, aren't you? Religious people need to wake up and realize that they are basing their lives on stupid stories told by people way too long ago.



WAKE UP, PEOPLE!



There is no god and there is no devil.



It's scary sometimes to think that people as high up as our world's leaders still believe in this stuff. People the world over need to grow up already. You don't believe in Tooth Fairy, do you? How about the Easter Bunny? No; I didn't think so. Anything regarding religion falls under the same category- NOT REAL.
