Wouldn't a film on the crucifiction of anyone be just as powerful?

This was the original proposition. A film of someone else crucified being as powerful. Now Jesus is the only one out of all those mentioned who suffered such a ghastly death that gave rise to a wide spread religion; now known as Christianity. Maybe some of these others had followers but none were as important as Jesus, simply because they were human only, Jesus became human but is truly Lord and God. He simply limited his powers for a time so that he could provide salvation, Philippians 2.

For some reason I didn't expect you to understand.

Did you edit this in? Just to make a jab at me? That's fine. I was hoping for a simple discussion/debate and didn't want insults to start.

No it isn't a jab. I can usually tell who can have a serious discussion and those who are completely blinded by what they have been taught. If you were as up on your religion as you would like to think you are you would have understood my post.

Edit: Don't let that piss you off or hurt your feelings.

Well I can see your point.

However, I must admit there are many things I do not understand as of yet regarding the Christian religion. Some things just don't make sense to me and a lot of it I have to take by faith. I will have to resolve myself to the fact that I will not know everything there is to know, yet I am still searching for answers to a lot of my questions.
