My pastor recently gave a thumbs down to THE END OF THE SPEAR movie, for obvious reasons in my opinion. I would find it interesting to see the different pastors stand.

I assume that only pastors are to vote. What is the obvious reason?

Im sorry I did not make myself clear. I would like to see everyones vote and express views and comments. -
It is (from all I've been told) a wonderful movie in the genre of "Chariots of Fire". ANY positive leaven of our faith in society is a GOOD thing.
It has sinful actors - do you know the immorality of those in "Passion" or "Chariots"?
It has native nudity - as do almost any film about nude natives.
Those would not dissuade me, if I were a movie-going type. I don't go to any, but will watch "Spear" the first day it comes out on DVD. -

I do not watch Andy Griffith Shows because Of Jim Nabors who I know is a Homosexual and was one of the first "out of the closet". I may have "one" in my choir but if I did I would surly get out of it. prior knowledge is the key. Also I did not see THE PASSION of CHRIST. -
i think the story is bigger than the person playing the role.

Is the "obvious" reason that one of the actors is gay?
-
Berean,
Jim Neighbors is not a homosexual. In fact, he's a Christian. There is no shortage of people who keep spreading this rumor, and this is a good example of why we need to refrain from rumor and gossip.
However, Robert Reed was gay, and will still enjoy the Brady Bunch whenever it's on. -
Do you also do that with every show or movie that has actors commiting adultery or sex out side of marriage? Or is it only homosexuality?
If a practicing homosexual was in your choir, then that would mean they were a member of your church, I assume. That would obviously be wrong. Just like any member that is practicing sexual sin.
I would say that's alot different than going to see a movie that has a homosexual in it. -
But since Jim Nabors isn't gay, the "Gomer Pyle" point is moot.
