Cardboard Box A posted:Depictions of Satan in "Christian" Productions intercut with depictions of Satan in "Secular" Productions Al Pacino was really great in The Devil's Advocate. I feel like it's one of his last roles before he stopped giving a poo poo (maybe Merchant of Venice is the only one after this). Though really I wish more of the movie was like the last 20 minutes.

Not on purpose of course. Still funny though. Incidentally, I remember reading that Carman had cancer in the mid to late 00s. He's evidentially better though.

I'm really sad that this thread has almost no mention of Revelation Road. That series is so bonkers. It literally begins with a mild-mannered gun salesman roving around an apocalyptic wasteland until he finds a gun shop run by a man who won't do business unless he finds Jesus Christ. Bad Guys show up led by Thor,and the mild-mannered gun salesman wakes up to realize hey he is in a gun store and he has a truckload of guns, because Jesus made him a lousy salesman just to go and kill bikers. They go downhill rapidly but the first one is worth a good thirty minutes at least.

Rev Road is a great series. 3 is the best but the others make the insane action movie payoff even better. The series should all be on the Pure Flix streaming service. It's a gold mine of David AR White and weird low budget fodder.

That Chinese thing sounds like something I saw a bit of years ago in passing. A guy was showing off written Chinese characters and interpreting that they had origins in the Christianity. I can't remember anything specific and this is a made up example to describe what they were doing: They'd show maybe a character for something like 'rice' and explaining, "Well, that looks like a cross, doesn't it...?" and go and interpret how they were connected from there.

How do they explain Chinese civilization and culture existing for longer than Christianity has been around? Hell, for longer than JUDAISM has been around?

Closest thing I find on first google. http://wiki.ironchariots.org/index.php?title=Chinese_characters_and_the_Bible edit Example from link: " For instance, 口 can refer to mouths, numbers of people (as in how many mouths there are to feed), or even holes or caves. Biblical literalist analyses add to this "breath" in order to support an assertion that 園 'garden' contains a reference to God breathing life into Adam."

That is humans as we are below the holy trinity and the cross is obvious about how we are united and become part of it by the sacrifice of Jesus. What does the next look like to you? That's right, the image of a cross wrapped up and opening a closed tomb from within. Finally, the next image, the character associated with movement, transitioning... Keikaku means plan, indeed.

Decided to watch the Revelation Road on thread's advioce and it looked sort of rough, for a minute I was worried my old pal David A.R. White might not show up, but then he did because he apparently doesn't sleep and is just a homeless man who wanders around from Christian film set to Christian film set all day every day. Mother fucker is prolific!

Revelation Road is like, ALMOST sort of cool. It's really, really trying it's precious little heart out trying to be a cool badass christian movie and not be the regular boring old bible pic, and it's just constantly teetering on the edge of engaging mroe than this genre ever does. Also what is Ray Wise's loving deal? He killed Laura Palmer and seems ot split his time now between Christian movies and Tim & Eric. It's really strange to see the Shrim man preaching about Christ instead of the healing power of young boys shits.

Various Christian missionaries in China throughout the centuries have tried to argue that China originally worshiped the monotheistic Abrahamic god in prehistoric times as a workaround to Christianity being seen as a foreign religion and thus persecuted by the Chinese state. So it's not uncommon to see arguments that Huangdi or Tian is actually Yahweh, and the rest of the pantheon was/is corruptions accumulated over time. At least not from the kind of people who make these movies

Samuel Clemens posted:It's a shame that Chinese documentary just talks about someone's pet conspiracy theory because the actual history of Christianity in China is pretty interesting. See this would actually make for a pretty decent documentary. I kind of like the idea of ancient civilizations interacting with one another in ways you wouldn't necessarily think about. However, this would have to be done by a competent historian/doc team and I got the feeling that "Who are the Chinese" is probably none of those.

There was a dumb-as-poo poo history channel special about the possibility that Jesus went east to meet the Buddha as a teenager and that's why the gospels just describe his birth and his 30s. This was possibly a moonie thing as the unification life church has just purchased the history channel at that time.

I might just be reallys toned, but a little over halfway into revelation road 2 and honestly, this is probably the best Xian movie I've ever seen. it gets needlessly preahy sometimes, but it's shot nicely enough. the first one suffered from the fact that the rapture happened in the last 10 minutes, and really you can almsot skip it but you'd miss Ray Wise. The White's bootleg Jesus-ey supersoldier wandering the psot rapture wasteleand isn't anything fancy but it's ok enough. The film makers are actually doing a lot to try to flesh out the biker antagonists. It's actually half decent storytelling. It's like an above average TV movie with occasional bizarre talk of Jesus. tbh I'm a little let down it's so competent because I was coming for badness and bulldada. So has everyone else liked David A.R. White on Facebook yet? We sure watch enough films he's in.

Lamb was a good book, and like the only thing I've ever seen that called Jesus Joshua. Everybody read Lamb, The Gospel of Biff. Also, What's the general Evangelical reaction to Les Miserables? Mainly the musical, which is Christian as gently caress. It literally ends with the main characters in heaven singing about how awesome the second coming will be.

I remember the script of the movie had the ending scene be an older Marius and Cosette taking part in the successful 1848 revolution with that presumably being the better day they were singing about, and was disappointed when I saw the film and they completely scrapped that.

I recall that was a big theory in the 60's and 70's, though I find it unconvincing. Any Buddhist concepts integrated into early Christianity are more easily explained by the cultural contact resulting from trade than one man going on a hippie style spiritual journey.

Definitely Christian, but way more Catholic than evangelical. There's far too much premarital/extramarital sex/swearing in it for evangelicals, Fantine is presented way too sympathetically (anything evangelical would require her to be way more sorry about the whole premarital sex thing), and Catholics are the heroes of the story--Valjean's entire arc is set in place by the bishop, not to mention the role that the nuns play in helping him and Cosette. If you look for Les Miserables reactions from Catholics, you mostly get blog entries and articles about how the Christian/Catholic themes in it are really great and well done. If you look for reactions from evangelicals, the reaction is more mixed--in some cases you get people praising it; in others, you get poo poo like this. (In fact, some evangelicals actually think Les Mis is explicitly pro-Catholicism, anti-Protestantism--with Valjean representing Catholicism and Javert representing Protestantism.) This probably isn't terribly surprising, given that Les Miserables's relationship to religion is moderately more complex than, say, Left Behind or God's Not Dead, and evangelicals prefer as little complexity as possible in their Christian messages.
