The Cinema of the United States is often referred to as Hollywood, and has had a profound effect on cinema across the world especially in Africa and Asia, gaining political endorsements, donations and world market acceptance.
But obviously Hollywood has also become a tool in the promotion of wickedness (for the most part), not its exposure as filth and vileness to be forsaken and abhorred. (Mark 9:43-44)
The actor who played Jesus in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ says he has been shunned by Hollywood since taking the role.
Jim Caviezel was a regular name on cinema hoardings before agreeing to take the lead in the controversial, bloody retelling of Christ's final days. However, Caviezel told an audience of churchgoers in Orlando, Florida that he had "been rejected by my own industry" after choosing to join Gibson's cast.
Gibson, he said, had initially offered him the role, only to call him back 20 minutes later and beg him not to take it.
"He said, 'You'll never work in this town again.' I told him, 'We all have to embrace our crosses,'" said Caviezel. He added: "Jesus is as controversial now as he has ever been, not much has changed in 2,000 years."
A passionate Christian, Caviezel told the audience at the First Baptist Church of Orlando he had learned to accept that the destruction of his acting career was a price worth paying. "We have to give up our names, our reputations, our lives to speak the truth,"
The Followings are the 3 reasons Hollywood hates Jesus Christ.
1. CRUCIFIXION
Crucifixion was not only one of the most disgraceful forms of death; it was one of the most dreaded methods of execution in the ancient world. Jesus was crucified on a Roman cross, the final hours on the lasted a period of about six hours.
Every price was paid on the cross, redemption was carried out and all sins and sicknesses of the whole world were nailed with Him on the cross.
2. DEATH
Death is our greatest enemy and it has conquered all men but Christ. No man is wise enough to outwit death or wealthy enough to purchase freedom from death or strong enough to vanquish death.
He gave his life, Jesus died like everyone else while at the same time He died like no one else. Death didn't take Him. It couldn't. Jesus willingly gave Himself over to death.
3. RESURRECTION
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. If the resurrection did not take place then Christianity is a false religion. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth.
"'For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.'"(John 10:17-18)
These three major truths are unfathomable. Nothing can be done against them. Jesus is the truth. Earth will pass away, Hollywood and her glories will melt like wax, but the truth of the cross and the proofs will ever be outstanding. Speak out the truth. Jesus Christ is the truth.
