Matthew 4:8-10: Again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, And he said to him, "All these I will to give you, if you fall down and worship me." However, Jesus replied, "Be gone, Satan! For it is written, 'It is your Lord God that you shall worship and that for him alone you shall work.'"

If we study the Mel Gibson movie, "The Passion of the Christ" -- soon to be re-released as "The Passion Recut" -- we can see the road map that leads to racism.

Six million Jews were murdered by the Nazis during World War Two because of what this type of thinking foreshadows. The movie, typical of this sort of tripe, begins with a scene of a mob sent by the high priests and the Jewish elders to arrest Jesus. Contrary to all the Gospels, the beating and torture of Jesus commences before the trial by Caiaphas that finds Jesus guilty of his proclamation that He is the Messiah prophesied by the Scriptures.

Based on the hysterical vision of an Austrian nun of the 19th Century, this account of the last twelve hours of Jesus on earth is right out of the Dark Ages of Europe when the Roman Catholic Church burned people at the stake. Some of the most evil men were involved in what became known as the Inquisition.

Despite this infamous age of Western Christianity, when Europe was inundated by one plague after another, these dark-minded zealots of the Roman Church, parading as theologians and guardians of the Bible, destroyed most of the Churches of Eastern Christianity and drove them out of the Aegean Region deep into Islamic countries, where ironically they enjoyed relative calm and a respite for a few centuries.

No wonder Mel Gibson decided to fake the Aramaic spoken in this movie; there are hardly any people left that can contradict him. Of course, I believe that the Lord permits all this to happen, because everyone serves the purposes of the Lord whether they know it or not.

Every step of the way we see the cruelty and unfairness of the Jews. Even the ones who are sympathetic to Jesus, such as his mother and Mary Magdalene, have accepted the fact that Jesus must endure this suffering. It's as if Jews are a murderous culture and all they do is torture people. They are shown as conniving, callous and evil people.

Furthermore, the movie so brutalizes the image of Jesus, that even some of the Muslim viewers will be outraged by this movie, as they hold Jesus in higher esteem than this movie does.

Mel Gibson said in a recent television interview that he's removed six minutes of the most brutal scenes from this movie, so parents can take their children to see the film. I think it's terrible to subject the children to this horrible spectacle. It's bad enough millions of adults have seen this movie, I was hoping the children would be spared.

Jesus said regarding those who mislead children, that it would be better to throw a millstone on their necks and cast them into the sea.

After the first release of the movie took in six hundred million dollars at the box office, one would think that Mel Gibson would be satisfied, but I guess he couldn't resist the temptation to release it one more time.
