THE RE-RESURRECTION OF JESUS

THE RE-RESURRECTION OF JESUS,
THE MYSTIFICATION OF THE MYTH
& THE DISTORTION OF THE TRUTH
And now, suddenly, after more than
60 years, there is a return to stories from The Bible:
Noah, Exodus; A.D:
the story continues and The
Messengers. And now even, Lucifer, is coming to a screen near
you.
A.D:
the story continues went to ludicrous lengths to tell the story of the apostles. Historically and biblically completely inaccurate,
it portrayed Peter as possessing the powers of life and death - and the
disciples too had miraculous powers of healing - powers which were given exclusively
to the Messiah by God. The series also
strongly conveyed the idea that contributing all your wealth to the Church, at
the risk of death by Peter, was a requirement of Christianity: this is
ludicrous, since Jesus absolutely rejected the concept of accumulating wealth -
as quoted several times in the Gospels.
The
Messengers was an extremely pitiful attempt to portray the idea of satan
and the four horsemen of the apocalypse in an endless battle for souls - the
good guys suddenly realizing they were "angels,"
sprouting massive wings, and having super powers.
The last time there really was an
attempt to capture stories from the Bible
was the 1960's: The Greatest Story Ever Told
and The Ten Commandments were quite genuine
attempts at portraying the stories from The
Bible - a time when movies still stuck to being true to the original texts
or history, at the risk of a hail of criticism - unlike the modern concept of
being totally irresponsible by portraying invented versions not only of fiction
but of historical facts as well - having no basis in the original texts.
Besides the movies which Christians
considered extremely controversial: 1970's Jesus Christ Superstar; 1980's The Last Temptation Of Christ; Mel Gibson's pornographic display of violence in
The Passion Of The Christ; and the
cartoon portrayal of Moses and Pharaoh, it has become completely unfashionable
in the western media to promote anything resembling religion - and yet the
western leaders fall back on it whenever it suits them.
But now, after losing the wars in Afghanistan,
Iraq and Syria, and the number of casualties - both dead and maimed - Americans
and Europeans need to be reassured that there is life after death, that there
are American superheroes out there battling against Satan, and Muslims. So once again the reassurance that
resurrection is a reality or at least a possibility.
Or is it merely an attempt by some
sectors of society for a return to Christian values? - which might partly be
good, if it is spiritually motivated, as Pope Francis is trying to do within
the confines of the Church - since it would be a return to a semblance of
morality in a western world consumed by rampant materialism and become devoid
of all morality.
However, overall, there is no
attempt at promoting spiritual Christianity in the media. Instead Good Friday and Easter Monday have
been replaced by "easter" eggs and bunnies. Christmas in parts of Europe is all about Saint Nicholas and Black Peter. Fables and myths from paganism and the observance of the winter solstice
have all been incorporated into the "celebration" of Christmas, and the birth of
Christ institutionalised in the churches in December (and in January by the
Orthodox churches) - even though Jesus was born in the summer of the northern
summer.
So, instead of promoting the message
of Jesus, December (from early November) has become a time of endless jingles
on radio stations and in shopping malls, and endless programmes on tv about
father "Christmas" dressed in a red outfit popularized
by coca cola - of sleighs and reindeers and elfs and gifts, which has
everything to do with promoting capitalism and commercialism, and nothing to do
with the Christian religion or its spiritual philosophy. And these images have become so pervasive,
they are now completely internationalised.
Even greetings have been now been
imposed by the supposedly politically correct liberals: insisting that people
not say "Merry Christmas," but use the generic
"Happy Holidays;" to the point that even many Christians have stopped
wishing and praying for a "Blessed Christmas".
So sadly,
there is simply no
mention of Jesus, the Messiah, as a historical figure, and even less mention of
his teachings.
