Looking at the reviews of this film , as it plays a big part in our common life's from a " media prospective " in terms of the " Act of Christ " that eradicates the emotional inter power of preception in the 4th Centry of the non existance..

Jesus didn't "come up with" those principles of charity--they're in the Torah.
Great movie. I highly recommend it.
