Looking forward to this.
Hope they do a better job than was done on “A Christmas Story” by FOX last year.
But moving to a more positive “NOTE”, it is fantastic that there are a few places in the main stream of deniers that have noticed the public is screaming for Faith based entertainment. With what has been offered on the big and small screens, baby steps are seen that are encouraging.
me too! I still remember all the songs.
I remember going to the theater when it first came out - wasn’t “involved” with my religion at the time but found it interesting. Later on when I had committed myself to Christ, “The Passion of the Christ” moved me big time.
As was I. But I have been disappointed. It is lacking. For starters, there should be no audience. Period. It detracts for the pathos and the passion inherent in the entire production.
Second. NBC or whomever produced this has changed the lyrics. Caiaphas has a line that states, "One thing I'll say for him, Jesus is cool."
This was changed to, "Infantile sermons and the crowds will just drool."
Why? Is it so painful for the Lib a-holes to leave in any lines glorifying His holy name or justifying His existence? I turned it off as soon as I heard that. And I know every line by heart so it jumped out as soon as I heard it.
And lastly...why did they broadcast it on Easter Sunday? The rock opera has no mention of His resurrection. It ends at the Crucifixion. Why not broadcast it on Good Friday? The only reason is money.
"My temple should be a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves" comes to mind.
Most disappointed was I.
