Sorry, I rambled a bit, but it's too late, and I'm too tired it edit it down. Then again, if I already know I need to readjust them and haven't, I doubt a movie, no matter incredible, is going to make me do so." Bad, because I think there are some things I DO need to readjust. Good, because possibly I don't NEED to readjust the way I think about things. Early childhood materials may solely emphasize how Jesus is your friend. Have I rethought the way I think about my life since seeing it? No, not really. While most of us enjoy teaching toddlers fun Bible stories, we cant stop there. and the fact that he could've stopped it at any point with barely a thought. What DID faze me was who they were doing it to. If it was violence for violence's sake, it seriously would not faze me at all. Viewing the actual violence had NO effect on me whatsoever. I did discover that I seem to have a high tolerence for violence. Did it affect as much as I thought it would? As much as I was sort of HOPING it would? I don't know at this point. I would show the Passion to any person of any age without any qualms.So I saw Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ this evening. They know that they should feel sorrow when they look upon the Our Savior and strive to love Him more each day. We keep a crucifix in every room, my children know that their Jesus loves them and that they must love Him back. We don't hide the fact that Our Lord suffered (the most brutal death known to man so that we won't have to) from our children. It was an excellent depiction of the Crucifixition and the agony which my God suffered for me. She studied up to the first grade when she was a child her writing is. I would recommend that parents see the film without their children. than those which can be found in the intimate conversations between Jesus and any.
#Should kids watch passion of the christ movie#
Seeing the movie made a good impression on me. Some children at age 10 may be able to understand the film however, I think very few can. Granted, the story of Christ's passion is so central to our family's faith, that I feel the brutal yet glorious truth of it is important to pass on to all, young and old. The movie is not advocating violence or evil, nor is it unnecessarily highlighting it, so I feel it is suitable for (most) children. In the Garden of Gethsemane near the Mount of Olives, Jesus (James Caviezel) is betrayed by Judas Iscariot (Luca Lionello). The dialogue is spoken in the ancient Aramaic language, along with Latin and Hebrew. Someday, they may have to face it, and if we have helped them sort through it with us by their side in a safe situation (for instance, a movie), then if they are forced to deal with it because of a tragedy, they are better able to cope. Mel Gibson's well-publicized production The Passion of the Christ concerns the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. Common Sense Media says the movie The Passion of the Christ is for 16+ as it is extremely violent and powerful. So in teaching history, I freely discuss war, death, pain, etc. Something that really gets their attention. Many children in many parts of the world have to face violence and death on a regular basis. Jim Caviezel made the bizarre suggestion during a video appearance at Clay Clarkâs Health and Freedom Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma an event known for attracting right-wing conspiracy theorists. And yet, I feel that the harsh reality of pain and death should not be hidden from children completely. The actor who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory that children are being drained of their blood. I guess as a parent, I feel that only the sensitivity of the children should be taken into consideration. It should show us the depth of pain and agony Christ went to because of our sin. We are very familiar with the story of Christ's crucifixion and IMO, it is supposed to disturb us. I guess I am very different here, but I let my 5 year old watch it, and she had no problems whatsoever.
