Godspell

[UncleRogi]

What a wonderful movie! I'm watching for the gazillionth time because I just enjoy the songs,
and the message. Though presented with what some would declare 'insufficient piety', I
think that the message is not lost, but enhanced. Most folk claiming Christianity wouldn't die for a beloved pet, let alone a homeless person.

I think this movie is timeless, as is the story it tells. And with great songs!

And the final question:
Would you die for a stranger?

 

[DimesDan]

Depends on the context.

 

[UncleRogi]

Depends on the context.

The context is irrevalant, a condition, a caveat.

Unconditional has no context.

So, Christianity is dependent on context, in your opinion.
Why do I find that sad?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

No I probably wouldn't die for a stranger unless I died in the process of saving their life, ie drowning, dragging someone out of a burning building etc.. If the question is would you exchange your life for theirs, no.

Yes, that is.

Would you count that persons' life as inadequant, killing themselves?

How is it that the poorest people are spit upon? You ignore the lesser folk by the predicate
that financiaysucceseful folk have better favor, in Gods name, or that 'virtue' equals wealth.

How is this a question of context?

Does it matter? Would you stop saving a persons life because of an arbitrary decision
based upon writings no one can confirm?

There, IMHO, is the hypocrysy.

You only do your best to save life, nothing else matters.

You do know about Clark, I would assume.

I don't know why you find it sad. Would you tell us?

According to Christian theology, Christ's death had a context, of bringing mankind to God, through the promise of forgiveness and eternal life. So, I think it's odd that you would find the answer, of whether to die for a stranger depending upon the context, sad.

 

[UncleRogi]

What I find sad is that that those espousing all-inclusive 'saving' only consider that being
saved depends on ones religious leanings.

I just wanted to take in others appreciation of this musical.
I have no problem with personal sacrifice, only that it is sad that so many study
The Nazarerine, then tell me what that I don't understand, that giving your life
for a principle only is good enough for the religion you belong to,
and that all others have no conception of sacrifice.

I don't want a theological argument, I just wanted to share that I enjoy this musical,
and wanted to hear how many folk here might have enjoyed it, as well.

Peace be with you, my cousin.

Apologies, this got deleted from my earlier post by accident.

Godspell is a good movie with good music. The location shooting is great, especially atop the World Trade Center while it is under construction/almost finished.

 

[UncleRogi]

...And the World Trade Center song has a much deeper meaning, these days.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Who is Clark? The 100?! Lewis and?
