Oh, no JimP - methinks the rending of the veil is definitely a good thing and that is where the
majority of the activity that means anything resides - not in blood shed by whips and torture
as depicted in some movie.

I don't want to be heretical, nor do I want you to be heretical ;-)  Thanks for the notes on
Ps22 - I will read and digest that chapter since that is where the doctrine I mention is based.
Very interesting thoughts, JimP - I will be studying that agian - thank you.

And, I agree with you about the staid attitude resident in most IC and perhaps a bit less so in
HC.  Why anywhere else, I would toss you out on your ear for challenging Ps22 doctrine.

Again, my thoughts about the movie are that the scenes depicted can only pale in comparison
with whatever really happened and is happening to make us saints - methinks it is not in
whippings and blood that the real agony occurred, but now that you rip Ps22 from my grasp -
where to?  Do you think the real agony was in the whipping and torture as depicted in the
movie?  Or, do you sense that it really is somewhere else?  Where does the Bible indicate
anything like this if not Ps22?
Thanks again JimP
