Are you brave enough to stand for the faith?

Vicki, I will watch The Case for Christ and then get back to you for a comment. Okay ,thank you for The Case for Christ, I liked the movie very much. It was one skeptic's journey to discovering Christ, All he wanted to do was to prove Jesus did not die, thus negating the Resurrection. Evidences proved otherwise. I loved the line "Okay, God, You win."

@Daelii Good acting is always a good thing!

Me too! I really am not a huge fan of the computer glitz and glam. It would be nice to just have actors that can do facial expressions and well, general acting!

Jim Caviezel is a stickler for the truth. His movie will be faithful to the story. I am excited to watch the film. I love Paul the Apostle very much. His character is very defined, no cowardice in any way.

@eileenleyva I hope they put the emphasis where it belongs and don't make him a superhero. While Paul displayed much courage he was no superhuman. His strength and courage came from God. (1 Corinthians 2:3; 2 Corinthians 7:5; Philippians 4:13)

@1hopefulman hmmm, I am a superhero fan. In the battle of good versus evil, like Wonder Woman overpowering Eris, the god of war, I have always cheered for the lovely Amazon princess. No, we are not talking about the feel good movies of super human strength. We are talking about a specific character with tremendous resolve to perform his duty, even if the acts were wrong, and how he made a complete turn around when our Jesus called him for the service. Paul was the greatest salesman of Christianity. He was written in the Acts, and his Epistles we quote today. That makes him extraordinary. We can't be even compared to the greatness of Paul, whose name was changed from Saul meaning big, to Paul, meaning small. In his desire to humble his self, he became great. His writings alone, I am overwhelmed, and of course that blessing came from God. As I acknowledge my simple but good life is a blessing from God.

vanny, faith implies absolute belief. It is paramount doubts are cast away, else the faith is not true nor sincere.It is not faith at all. Faith presupposes courage/ We defend faith with our very lives.

@vandana7 Man is the culprit. For his own vested interest, he has corrupted the edicts handed down through generations, However, God is all knowing. He is the Supreme Creator and has made life upon us. Life consists of good and evil, as man stubbornly defied the wishes of the Supreme Being. God is all good and forever fair, You are correct. We may not understand fully why things happen the way they do but God is just. He does not commit mistakes,

@eileenleyva There are many things that are said to be part and parcel of my religion, which I do not believe they are because they do not sound just and fair as god must be. So I believe it is somebody who manipulated holy scripture to their benefit. To that extent, my faith rests on presupposing that god is fair and just and reasonable.

Keanu Reeves is worth $350M. I am glad these celebrities stand for their principles and their creed.

@mythociate Thank you for sharing this link.

@eileenleyva yeah; that, or 'we're lucky the people who pay the most happen to have some good principles.'

The Acts of the Apostles is a trying time for the apostles. They lost their lives bringing the Gospel to the world. Paul was the greatest salesman of Christianity, he went around the Mediterranean to tell the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Philippians, Collossians, Thessalonians, Hebrews, etcetera about our Lord, and he lost his life for that. Good thing Luke wrote the Acts for us to know their stories.

t@TheHorse How could the sorrowful passion of our Lord not touch you. It was so intense I cringed at the flagellation. Imagine, the Lord endured all the lashes. Sigh. And there is no comparison. The Passion is the story of Calvary. The story of Paul is that of a persecutor called by Jesus to spread the faith. Paul never even saw Jesus.

I hope it's better than the directed by Mel Gibson. That one didn't do anything for me.

Glad you are brave enough to make that affirmation and declaration of loving our Lord Jesus. Paople nowadays lack the courage to stand for our God. I will stand the line with you,

@kobesbuddy Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Glad to know that you have achieved the wisdom of knowing that our lives are for our Creator only.

@eileenleyva If I deny him before man, he will deny me before the Father, who's in Heaven.

Thanks a lot dear @eileenleyva for your informative response! Have a great time ! God bless!

@AKRao24 Thank you. God bless you, too.

Yes. I am not privy to your culture, too. But I enjoyed the 3 Idiots. More or less, I had a glimpse of India of the modern world, By the way, many of your wealthy people have come to live in my country. One of our posh mall has a restaurant especially for your people.

Yay. And I will be expecting a feedback from you.

I am a Jim Caviezel fan. All his movies are good: Pay It Forward, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Passion. This Paul, the Apostle story, as claimed by the production, is faithful to the Great Book, Then, this is exciting enough to look forward to. A real breather from a world pervaded by fake and gruesomeness, really.

I am partial for anything that is drawn from the Great Book. I enjoy movies that animate the stories I've come to love dearly through the years. Paul is a favorite. Luke, too.
