“If you give me another opportunity to talk to someone about Jesus Christ, and I can do that because of your movie, that’s a win for me, because it is about spreading the Gospel.”

No, actually, that is part of it, a result of belief. It's about belief in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It's not about man sharing the Word, it is about believing the Word. We are moved by the Spirit to share the gospel, as that is what we are exhorted to do, by the Spirit, not by our own motivations.

Being blown about by the Spirit, we have no idea when the Word will be given to others through us, though we desire it to happen. It is our own vanity that moves us to want God to work through us, when in reality, I believe, it doesn't matter who God works through, so long as people believe Jesus. "...Christ is preached..."

The way the world does things, the things it promotes, is geared toward the carnal flesh, "...the lust of the flesh, and the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father...".

Take a closer look at the overall movie plot. Looks to me like they aren't original at all, but rather, Hollywood tends to re-tell the story in the bible, changing it to their own liking, if for no other reason, they don't believe the bible is true, but they know it's a popular plot line, so they alter and twist it, and bingo, you got some "super human" man, wearing tights, as the "savior" of the carnal world.

11  This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:11,12 (KJB)
