Ben Hur Comments

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2006)

This was indeed a very powerful and moving picture.I loved the parts,when Jesus gave water to Ben Hur,and the solider who saw this,back away from Jesus.I myself rated it 8 instead of 10.Some things should have been corrected in the movie.The scene in the beginning with Messala and Sextus,when they were discussing,people who were drunk with religion,by smashing the statues of their gods.As usual it was not mentioned in a biblical film,that God had wrote The Ten Commandments,and such talk about gods would go against His 1st Commandments,as far the statues mentioned of their gods,that itself goes against God's 2nd Commandment.But more so as stated in Exodus 20,The Lord Your God is a Jealous God.Another scene was with Messala & Ben Hur.The glory of Solomon is gone,Joshua Will not rise to save you nor David.Ironic that Moses is not mentioned as everyone knows he was God's Lawgiver.Or about the parade in which Ben Hur was in after his freedom was regained,up the top on his throne was The Divine Emperor.I find it most sad that even in biblical movies,that God's Ten Commandments are rarely mentioned,but when there are parades that honor those who have achieved greatness,it should be rightfully so.But God himself has far more achieved,much more than greatness.If there is a parade and a Divine Emperor is looking down at thousands then there should be a parade for The Ultimate Supreme King Of His Universe,The Almighty God,looking down from His Kingdom to countless people paying tribute and Honor to God.The bible says put your banners up for God,and even in biblical movies they don't do this,it would be Supremely Special if a biblical had a parade for God,and displaying His Ten Commandments it maybe wishful thinking on my part,but I pray the day comes when people hosts parades,and honor God is such ways that have never been done,I will never understand why God's Ten Commandments are hardly mentioned in religious movies.
