re: ‘The Passion Of The Christ’ Sequel Reportedly Begins Filming This Spring

I mean, isnt the passion specifically about the last hours of his life? Am I remembering this wrong?

If the story ended at the last hours of his life, then it wouldn’t be a story

Is this when Jesus gets revenge?

but can he still pass as a 33 year old?

---

Absolutely. Just a little hair dye and he will be just fine.

This is going to be a hilarious movie, and will also make a hilarious amount of money.

So, not an actual sequel, huh?

Because that'd be interesting to see.

Jesus went to hell in those 3 days and freed the believers before him who were not able to be baptized yet. That's the way it was taught to me in Sunday school

Christian theology is essentially this.

When Adam and Eve ate from the apple, they sinned against God and lost their salvation in the process. The stain of their sin followed mankind throughout the ages and, when we died, none of us went to Heaven. The righteous among us went to what was coined by St. Thomas Aquinas as the Limbo of the Fathers. When Christ died on the cross, he descended to the Limbo of the Fathers and broke open its gates, allowing men and women such as Adam, Eve, David, Noah, Esther, and the like to ascend into Heaven.

As for the storyline, here’s what we know:

come on now, do you really have to speculate about this one?

quote:

Holy shite I never knew about the belief Jesus went to hell

Well...he didn't actually go to the fire and brimstone part of Hell. Before Christ died on the cross, the belief is that only a select few ever went to Heaven due to the original sin brought forth into the world by Adam and Eve. Moses and Elijah were two of those select few. The rest of mankind went to the uppermost level of Hell that St. Thomas Aquinas coined the Limbo of the Fathers. This is the place Christ was referring to when he told the thief on the cross that he would be in paradise with Him on that day. It was a beautiful place where the souls of the righteous went when they died. When Christ died, the curse of original sin was broken and the souls of the righteous were finally allowed to enter Heaven. This is an event in Christian theology known as the Harrowing of Hell.

Anyway...according to St. Thomas Aquinas there are four sections of Hell:

1. Gehenna: this is Hell as we traditionally think of it. It is a place of punishment for the damned.

2. Limbo of the Children: this is where those who die in original sin, but without the stain of mortal sin, go. These are children who die before they are baptized. There is no pain here and these children will be raised up upon Christ's Second Coming.

3. Limbo of the Fathers: this is where the great saints of the Old Testament went prior to the death of Christ on the cross. There was no pain here and this level of Hell is now completely vacant.

4. Purgatory: This is where the righteous who die with venial sin on their soul go to be purified before they can enter into Heaven.

just went down a rabbit hole reading about it all

I feel like I've been under a rock somehow
