Re: Mel Gibson's "THE PASSION"

[Matthew Small]

Do you have any documentation on that?  I was unaware that the New Testament had gone through revisions, excepting translations.  I believe that the King James Version and the New International Version were both taken straight from the original langauges - Greek and Latin I think.  These translations were painstakenly done to ensure the meaning of the passages were retained.  Of course, the KJV is only 500 years old.

  Which New Testament though? In translations and editions, the New Testament
  has changed over time. Is the Vatican II revisionist history or is it
  setting right the revisionist history that happened over time to the New
  Testement?

  somebody's already pointed out, Jesus was Jew, his followers were Jews, his
  lineage is the Old Testament Jews (David, Solomon, etc) but in any case
  there was also a Jew follower of Jesus that was in great part responsible
  for his death - Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
