Jim Caviezel Testimony (Video Interview)

Jim Caviezel Testimony

Amazing words in this Jim Caviezel Testimony, the actor who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ film, which is the highest grossing R-rated film in history (and rightly so) just like the Holy Bible is the world’s best-selling book (and rightly so). Jim Caviezel is being interviewed by Dave Cooper.

This interview is highly inspiring. Jim talks about how God’s Providence allowed him to suffer several very painful injuries and illnesses when filming which allowed him to participate in and portray Christ’s Passion in a deep and real way. He tells about the shocking fact that he was struck by lightning at one point in the production. Then he gives advice to all Catholics about the seriousness of living the Faith. Also, not trying to “fit in” with our neo-pagan society, and the necessity, joy, and honor of suffering for Jesus Crucified for the salvation of souls. His testimony is amazing and real.

You are all going to Heaven

Please Note: At one point in his talk, Jim said, “You are all going to Heaven.” A critic might object, “What if there was someone in the audience who hates Christ and will never repent. So is Jim saying that he is going to Heaven too?” Of course such an unrepentant person who hates God chooses Hell with their free will (as Jim said in his talk, “God doesn’t send anyone to Hell, they choose that place”) and Jim’s statement cannot apply to them.

So how are we to understand Jim’s sentence? First off, it is obvious from the context that Jim was addressing those among the audience who are of good will who desire to repent, live a virtuous life, and to take the necessary actions to become truly, authentically good. Furthermore, Jim expanded or qualified this statement later in his talk where he said that “God is asking for more conversion” and he reminded the audience that Heaven or Hell is a choice.

Fence-Sitters

On a related topic, he said that those in the production of the movie who were “fence-sitters” with regards to God who claimed they hadn’t made a choice were in reality making a choice by the mere fact that they were fence-sitting.

Heaven or Hell

A person chooses Heaven or Hell with their free will. They then manifest their choice by the way in which they lead their life. Also, by their actions, words, thoughts, and prayers. One must want to become as pure as the angels in Heaven in order to reach there. To reach that place requires effort just like anything worthwhile in the natural world.

Our Lord told us in the Gospels that arriving at the celestial dimensions requires the person to receive sanctifying grace. They must also repent of their sins and live a virtuous life where they preserve this grace. Hence, Jim’s statement must be understood with these qualifiers for his statement to be correct.
