A longer preview from Harvest Online – the internet arm of Harvest Christian Fellowship.

Now a bit about HCF.

Review their “Statement of Faith” which is about as close to a creed as one can get. Here’s how it begins:

WE BELIEVE
the Bible to be the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God. [emphasis mine]

Oops. That’s not right. Hmmm.

This is what Pastor Greg Laurie of HCF has to say about the screening:

It was recently my privilege to view an advance unedited copy of Mel Gibson’s new film “The Passion”. Mr.Gibson was present during the viewing and welcomed input as he is now in the editing process. Let me just say that “The Passion” is the most powerful and effective portrayal of the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ I have ever seen. I was moved to tears a number of times and was on the edge of my seat for the entire film.

I’m happy that Gibson is reaching out to our mere Christian brothers and sisters. This film could be a great tool for evangelization and ecumenism.

In principio erat verbum. At least that’s what I think it says. It really looks like “verbu”, with the “m” turned into a sort of squiggle above the “u”. “Et de9 erat verbu~.” Apparently this guy Gutenberg was into that sort of IM spelling the kids all use, in which u swap in a digit occasionally and shrtn th wrds s mch s psbl. Gotta be economical about the paper: it doesn’t grow on trees, you know.

Those Viet Commies got this one right.

Rob Diaz has posted a link to the trailer for Mel Gibson’s “The Passion”. You could probably just play it as a stream off that link, but I’d suggest you download it to your own machine first. You’re gonna want to see it more than once.
