Blaine:  The Shroud of Turin indicates the man whose negative image is shown on the Shroud received over 100 stripes with the scourge. Whoever's image is on the shroud was apparently almost beaten to death.  Perhaps Mel Gibson's portrayal of the bloody beating of Christ was not so much overdone after all... ----- Original Message ----- From: Marlin Halverson To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 11:26 PM Subject: [TruthTalk] Passion of the Christ "R" Rating Article is by Tim Stevenson I wanted to find out who wrote the clever article about the R rating of the Passion.  I found this source over the Internet and Tim Stevenson claims authorship.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Tim Stevenson To: Marlin Halverson Sent: Sunday, April 04, 2004 10:44 AM Subject: RE: Passion of the Christ "R" Rating Article Yes I am.

In movie terms "R" stands for RESTRICTED , but in this movie "R" stands for RELEVANT , for REALISTIC , for it REALLY happened for a REASON because we were REBELIOUS we needed a REDEEMER , we needed to be RECONCILED , we needed to be RECOVERED , we needed to be REGENERATED . Jesus needed to be REJECTED so that we could have a RELATIONSHIP not just a RELIGION . The "R" is to REMIND us to REMEMBER what Jesus did to REMOVE our sin to RENDER Satan powerless, to RESCUE us from eternity in hell. The "R" rating is to show that Jesus was RESPONSIBLE for giving you REST . As a RESULT of his death Jesus RETIRED your debt. The "R" rating means that some will be REPULSED , some will REFUSE to believe, some will be RELUCTANT ,.....................
