Differences in the Passion from the theatre to the DVD

[Jeffrey]

ON the Cross…in the DVD version, he said ‘It is accomplished’, but ppl are telling me in the one at the movies, he said ‘It is finished’. (I wouldn’t know…didn’t see it at the movies). Why would they change that? Anyone notice any other differences?

 

[Jeffrey]

Anyone?

I saw it three times at the theatre and I think your answer is going to vary on this due to the fact; at this time in the theatre the tears came, the emotion level was high and I think alot of people will simply remember. the Bible verse Stations of the Cross and Good Friday. I thought it was finished, my sister thought it was finished. But as she stated in Jesus of Nazareth it is finish.

 

[Jeffrey]

Fair enough…I was pretty emotional also, had to cover my eyes thru most of the scourging fanstop.net is coming soon

Cool thing is…when I saw those ppl spitting on him…I wanted to hurt them…after the it was finished/accomplished, I felt no hatred for them any longer. Make sense?

Another Q I have is, after he said, Forgive Them Father, They Know Not What They Do, what did he mean when he asked God…Father Why Have You Forsaken Me?

These are the opening words of Psalm 22: “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

In the commentary in my old New American Bible says:
“Psalm 22 is one of the most important of the Messianic psalms. Our Lord himself on the cross repeated its first line, and several other verses are directly quoted, or at least alluded to, in the New Testament as pertaining to his Passion. Of no other person is this touching description of spiritual and physical suffering so eminently true as it is of Jesus Christ. Hence, the entire psalm has been traditionally interpreted in the Catholic Church as referring to him. The psalmist, therefore, speaks in Christ’s name when in the first section (2-22) he describes the Messiah’s dereliction * (2-6), opprobrium * (7-9) and physical sufferings (13-19), together with his unshaken confidence in the heavenly Father (10-12 and 20-22); and in the second part, the fruits of his redemption; the grateful praise of the redeemed (23-27), the conversion of the Gentiles (28-30d), and the glory of God and his beloved Son (30e-32).”

On a personal note, it was some years ago, while reading this psalm for the first time, that I received the gift of faith in Jesus.**
