Caviezel pointed toward current cultural issues, particularly the pushing of transgenderism, which he equated to \u201cgrooming my kids.\u201d He also referred to how 85,000 children have disappeared in the last year, yet there is no focus on finding them. He stated he wanted to use the film as a light to shine on important issues like child sex trafficking and that issues like unprotected borders only heighten the likelihood of children being abused.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caviezel encouraged filmgoers to support his upcoming film as they did with \u201cPassion,\u201d stating that people don\u2019t want Christian messages to get out. \u201cChristian bigotry is the most accepted form of bigotry, right now, in the world, right now,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd they are okay with that. Well, not anymore. That\u2019s done.\u201d He went on to add, \u201cYou want to put a rainbow flag on Mickey Mouse? That\u2019s fine. I never asked them to put a Star of David, or a Crucifix, or a cross on Mickey\u2019s ears. Why are you doing that? Why are you putting the rainbow flag above the President of the United States? Above the United States flag? Absolutely appalling.\u201d He also warned against leftists, stating that they might go so far as to remove biblical passages that do not support leftist ideals. \u201cThis is our Nazis, these are our communists, these are our left that we have to fight, and they want to take down our republic. They are going to take your faith. They are going to take your First Romans.\u201d Romans 1:26 states, \u201cFor this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise, also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Caviezel has been pushing for Christians to be more outspoken against child trafficking as he promotes his film. \u201cOur faith is paramount. But it has to have something that comes from it,\u201d he told\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.faithwire.com\/2023\/06\/27\/more-afraid-of-the-devil-than-they-are-of-god-jim-caviezel-offers-warning-to-modern-day-christians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Faithwire<\/span><\/em><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. \u201cYou love someone; it\u2019s an action. It\u2019s not what I say. It\u2019s what I do. The problem is, in a lot of this modern-day Christianity, is people \u2026 are more afraid of the devil than they are of God.\u201d He encouraged Christians to be bold. \u201cAnd God could kill the devil without a glance, and so, when I look at someone who might not want to watch this film, I say our love for God\u2019s children has got to be more than our fear of evil. Our love for Jesus has got to be more than our fear of the cross because, at some point, that [persecution] is going to happen,\u201d he said. He and fellow co-star Eduardo Ver\u00e1stegui have also accused Hollywood and \u201cwoke media\u201d of complicity in protecting child abusers. \u201cThere are many people involved in this crime in every sector. Political sector, worldwide, here, Mexico, worldwide. It\u2019s a global problem,\u201d said Ver\u00e1stegui. \u201cSound of Freedom\u201d will be released in theaters on July 4th.
