As a Freeper, I enjoy the slings and arrows of sarcasm as well as anybody. And once people have seen the film, I'll be happy to take my lumps. The film presents Jesus as fully divine - truly the Son of God - as well as lovingly human. We attempt to understand Judas in human terms - without ever excusing him for committing the greatest crime imaginable.

Does Jesus say, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father, but by me."? If not your movie is just more New Age, he is one of many ways; tripe. I cannot imagine ABC showing Christians as anything but bloodthirsty fools.

I'm a traditional Catholic. I think a sympathetic portrayal of Judas is a brilliant idea; after all he was one of Jesus' closest friends... his corruption and downfall must be classic fodder for a tragedy. I sincerely hope you're not blindsided by the criticism here. We need Christians in Hollywood.
I have to ask, though: That dialog from the Temple... how could you have Jesus say that? It asserts that Jesus believed he was wrong to drive away the money-changers as he did. In fact, if it were true, it would be Jesus committing a venial sin!
