lyrafowlpotter This is a deeply flawed film, and the biggest one is that Jesus says: "Then if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or 'There!' do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand." This is the main problem I had with the film, other than that the story is fairly solid. However, because of the above, I cannot recommend this film, but if you insist on watching it anyway, understand that just because you think I'm wrong, is irrelevant, the Bible is clear. A movie based on the notion that a guy claims to be Jesus, and purports to be a Christian movie is inherently unBiblical and therefor, garbage in terms of what it teaches theologically/doctrinally, no matter the other merits it has. Contrary to this belief that Christians shouldn't practice doctrine that is currently being perpetuated, our faith is based on the Bible, and if you choose to throw out portions of it for your own personal views, I would question your faith in the Jesus of the Bible, or at least if you even really believe the Bible or the ideas in your own head.A few notes on some aspects of the film.The acting is not great, it is definitely average at best, and the budget is definitely $0 or not far above. One of the things I think is awesome what Christians often do with such a small budget. It could be a lot better, and certainly if the man at the diner didn't actually claim to be Jesus, obviously it would fix virtually everything. Why not just have a bunch of people stuck at a diner and they ACTUALLY talk about the Bible and the real gospel? Novel idea there. I enjoyed the story despite it's flaws and enjoyed it's erroneous message, and I think it is important to remember that a movie that presents any theology, entertainment, should not be top priority, or you will always end up with very bad results on the hole.

KATO-SUBZERO 1 November 2016: I saw this movie twice, yesterday and once three years ago. The cast is good, the story line is good. God is a Holy Spirit and God came in human form as Jesus Christ (Yeshua) to forgive us, save us and die for us.My two favorite actors playing Jesus Christ / Yeshua is Diogo Morgado and Bruce Marchiano. Bruce does a good job as Jesus an ordinary man, who is proved to be Not ordinary.I liked this movie from start to finish. I was happy that near the end, Jesus finally showed a bit of power over Satan in the café when Satan after convincing "Steve Borden as Nick Crusher Crushetti to follow him, Satan said "that's one for me." In a flicker Jesus lets Satan know who is still in control and who has the power.Jaci Velasquez and the rest of the cast is fairly okay. The best supporting cast was actor, Jaime Nieto and actress Dinah Williams.I give this movie two thumbs up.

kenthovind-40116 By thunder! That... was... so... beautiful! ^_^ What a little movie with a lot of heart! This movie *deserves* more attention; we gotta increase the DVD sales, or iTunes, rentals of this film!Okay, so we all know the most popular Jesus movie is "Passion of the Christ", but I think even THIS film is pretty wonderful rendition of what Christ is truly like! I even would promote this film to Mel Gibson to watch!And I can see it's only garnered enough ratings as much as if it were an episode of the TV series "Supernatural". It DESERVES much more recognition!I mean, WOW...what a powerful film, POWERFUL! I can't believe I missed out on this for several years!! I actually saw it through YouTube, but what it would've been like to see it in a huge screen in a church with hundreds of people, or see it in a regular theater... What I got was really, really good flick that touched me and made me feel good and wanting to be a better person. It is not a heavy-action flick; just a thought-provoking heart-felt movie that is well-worth the time.I wanted to show it to my family, but a lot of them seem quite spontaneously & unnecessarily oversensitive about movies on YouTube and "stealing" and "copyright" at the moment, making the situation mooch more complicated than it really is. So much so it's really gotten aggravating & depressing. The Internet is free! YouTube is free! If an underrated Christian film is on it, hurrah! Praise be to God through the uses of the Internet we can spread this amazing information around!In hindsight of the film, many important questions, many important issues, many important misunderstandings, and much important encouragement was addressed in this motion picture, and congrats to Bruce Marchiano for doing an AMAZING JOB being the same joyous, earthy, smiley, understanding and personal Jesus even with a sense of humor, just like he was in the "Visual Bible: The Gospel of Matthew" series (which we still own on VHS too), the one I saw growing up. Yes, and I believe there's reason for that interpretation, because Christ *is* a personal God, all about relationship, not religion. Jesus came not so people would be more "religious", but that they may have LIFE!And I like how in the story's context of how Jesus is just a simple cook & waiter in a small diner, even in the middle of nowhere, and is not someone "begging for attention" - that's truly an amazing way of how "personal" of a God He truly is. He's not all LIGHTS, CAMERAS, SPOTLIGHT, PAPARAZZI, HYPE, HYSTERIA, etc. No, He doesn't need any of that, nor should we. If it's really our own passion and zeal to work hard for those sorts of things, so be it. But it is only temporary; having riches and eternal life with Christ in Heaven, and wanting to share that great news with everyone else around you is something MUCH more worth of eternal value.This film is not only a truly ANOINTED one, but also a *much-needed* one in this day and age of a corrupted Hollywood, and a truly ANOINTED one at that! :-)And I give this movie credit for introducing me to wrestling champion "Sting" (Steve Borden) - he did a really good job, playing the complex, arrogant, prideful businessman. Though, maybe I would have preferred either Stephen Baldwin or Jensen Ackles to play him (who are ALSO Christian actors) - since maybe I think their popularity would've bumped up this movie's hype a bit more.However, if there is a real down side to this movie, I would say I wish we could've seen a few more miracles done by Jesus (I just wanted to see more); at the ending I was kind of wanting Melissa to go back and give Jesus a BIG HUG before they all left the diner (kinda like one of the Ten Lepers in the Bible who remembered). I mean, the only person who really touched Jesus was Nick when he grabbed Him! Probably just been nice to give Jesus a NICE body gesture after that one.I also now wish this film had addressed and dealt with the BLASPHEMY issue, because that is one hallmark of Hollywood movies that REALLY ticks me off. And if I was one of the collaborative script writers on the movie, I would've probably added another line to that scene where Jesus is talking about "People who steal" and "people who hop from bed to bed," being which, "They use My Name in vain when I Am the one who has given them life, and breath, and everything they have." I think that would've said a lot. But I digressHonestly I can say THANK YOU, David A. R. White, PureFlix, AND God, for creating this miracle of a film!10/10PS: Want to see another film that has the same concept about if Jesus dwelt amongst modern-day people?? See the film "Joshua" (2002)!

don-799-74634 I watched this movie. Then I re-watched it. Then I watched it again -- 3 times in one week! It's a simple story done on a low budget, with no big action or special effects. Yet I found it so captivating.I'm quite taken with the depiction of Jesus here - it's spot-on to the way I've envisioned him for years -- NOT as some unrelatable, mysterious, stoic dude in robes as depicted in so many Jesus movies. Here we have him as he really is: omniscient, loving, genuine, earnest, wise, and concerned. Yet not a pushover, and authoritative when he needs to be. And totally unflappable even by overt hostility.Beyond that, I thought everyone else's acting was generally pretty good. And the story delved into several complex issues that have come up in debates for many years, and it handled them really well. So overall, I was very encouraged by this movie and highly recommend it.
