Defending the faith is so great, what can we defend without faith

This is a film based on faith, and the overall texture of the film is very good. Biblical stories with religious themes will feel more real and humane than imagined.

It once again shows the suffering of persecuted Christians. The final climax will still be touched by the plot. Although the overall plot seems a bit boring, especially for audiences who are not in the Christian world, many historical and religious backgrounds are not familiar. But the plot feels a bit dull and has no resonance. But as an artistic aspect and the moral of the story, it is definitely worth seeing.

Before being imprisoned by Nero, Paul walked more than 16,000 kilometers and established a Christian community in the ancient world for more than 30 years. Paul’s life is recorded in detail by Luke, including a book widely read by the world, "Acts" in the "New Testament", I would like to use this film to dedicated to those who have been persecuted because of their beliefs. people.

To live is Christ, to die is gain, this story about faith, is a kind of baptism passed to us. Regardless of whether I can find a certain kind of faith myself, at least I will marvel at the enduring of faith in the movie and even those people who have a strong faith in religion. How many people have such precious experiences in their lives, and how many people have. Such courage uses his life to defend his own beliefs.

The persecution of the soul goes far beyond the more painfulness of the body. The core of faith is awe, so in the whole society, we as human beings will have the morality of restraining ourselves and the fear of being punished. Just like the story in the film, the soul drives the body to become the moral benchmark of this society.

We sometimes think that foreigners are so stupid. Thinking about it carefully, it’s not stupid. Just like the plot in a movie, we feel that we can solve it in another way. But we have overlooked one point. In the face of belief, their material interests have become worthless, while spiritual norms have become supreme, and our real society has created a value concept that material interests exceed everything, so we can sacrifice more or more Less ethics can make it easier to obtain materials, such as money and rights.

Think more about it. I have a hard time answering what faith is reflected in our society, but as far as the moral bottom line is concerned, everyone knows that this society has no bottom line for a long time, or that the bottom line has been arbitrarily broken again and again. Where is the bottom line that can be kept?

Paul, Apostle of Christ quotes

  • Mauritius Gallas: If it were the only truth everyone would believe it.

    Luke: Not so. Christ, who is truth, rose from the dead, many do not believe.

    Mauritius Gallas: Lies, fabrications...

    Paul: If Christ had not risen from the dead, then our preaching is useless, and so is our faith.

    Mauritius Gallas: Oh, you have no doubts at all?

    Paul: Men do not die for things they doubt.

  • Paul: Imagine yourself looking out at the vast sea before you. You reach down and put a hand into the water and you scoop it up towards you. Immediately the water starts leaking through your fingers until the hand is empty. That water is a man's life. From birth to death it is always slipping through our hands until it is gone, along with all that you hold dear in this world. And yet the Kingdom I speak of - that I live for - is like the rest of the water out in the sea. Man lives for that cup of water that slips through his fingers. Those that follow Jesus Christ live for that endless expanse of sea.

    Mauritius Gallas: What if, after all this, I still do not believe in your Christ?

    Paul: I wasn't trying to convince you.

    [laughs]

    Paul: Listen to me. There is only a moment. It is not me. It is Christ himself that looks upon you and shatters your defenses and in that moment you will understand that you are completely known by God... and you are completely loved. I will pray that moment comes for you.
