REVrant 36.9 - 'Basic Instinct' Director Paul Verhoeven: Jesus Was Son of Mary and Roman Rapist
FOXNews.com - 'Basic Instinct' Director Paul Verhoeven: Jesus Was Son of Mary and Roman Rapist.
(CAUTION – graphic references in linked article.)
Here we go again. Dutch filmmaker, Paul Verhoeven, has written a “biography” of Jesus that suggests he was the offspring of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her. Bottom line – yet one more attack on the Virgin Birth! Verhoeven is notorious for his anti-Jesus bias, particularly in his association with “The Jesus Seminar” - a loopy group of scholars who have deconstructed Jesus into a “happy carpenter who worked at Lowes or Home Depot.” Verhoeven is also notorious for salacious scenes in movies.
I’m convinced that the attacks on the Virgin Birth are never going to end – whether from outside (atheists and skeptics) or inside (liberals and some emergents) the church. Verhoeven is not the first or the last. You won’t be surprised to learn that he’s hoping to follow up on the book with a film telling the same story. Ever wonder what motivates these guys?
Imagine him trying this kind revisionist nonsense with a biography of Muhammed, or Joseph Smith, or Ghandi! The outrage would be deafening.
What!!??
