So the BBC is putting on a teleplay that coincides with Hitler’s views of Mary and the birth of Jesus.
Way to go! [sarcasm off]
Can’t wait ‘til these ankle biters do the story of Mohamed. Of course that will be done with the utmost respect.
I can’t wait for their Mohamed was a Pedophile show.
One of the oldest lies about the Bible...
!
A reminder that not all Barbarians were civilized. Pity.
Diversity: Insult Christians, exult Muslims - that’s the Liberal ticket today!
The UK, and other associated Commies (EU, USA) are destined to suffer at the Just Hand Of God Almighty in the very near future - you can take that to the “bank”
Christians who remain stead fast in their Faith shall be rewarded with eternal life, through the Kingship Of Christ, IMHO
I don’t think this dumbass knows what the Immaculate Conception is. He seems to be using the term to refer to Mary conceiving Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I think the questions asked in our drama are the kind that any man watching a prime-time TV drama in 2010 would quite reasonably ask.

and wheres Joseph’s cell phone ??? His DonkeyMobile ???
Wheres the TSA that Mary must pass for her pat down to get on the plane for Bethlehem ???
From the description, I can’t judge whether the portrayal is offensive or not. It all turns on whether in the end the drama makes clear that Jesus was “incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary” as the Creed says, and whether in the later episodes Joseph is persuaded that the child is of the Holy Spirit. After all the hymnography of the First of the Royal Hours of the Nativity includes the sticheron:
Joseph spoke thus to the Virgin: “What is this doing, O Mary, that I see in thee? I fail to understand and am amazed, and my mind is struck with dismay. Go from my sight, therefore, with all speed. What is this doing, O Mary, that I see in thee? Instead of honor, thou hast brought me shame; instead of gladness, sorrow; instead of praise, reproof. No further shall I bear the reproach of men. I received thee from the priests of the temple, as one blameless before the Lord. And what is this that I now see?”
(The Royal Hours are the morning service appointed in the Orthodox Church for the Vigil (Eve) of Christmas and Theophany and for Good Friday. The service was originally instituted so the Emperor could hear the Hours on those occasions without interrupting the affairs of state four times during the day, and consists of the prayers of the hours with some psalms replaced with others more appropriate to the feast, readings from the Old Testament, Epistles and Gospel added to each hour and some extra hymns, one of which I quoted in its entirety.)
Well, Jordan’s adaptation has secured him a place in hell.
Christmas is the atheists busiest time of the year.
Pray for the Tea Party Congress
I will quietly wait until this purposeful provocation gets the same response as the cartoons of Mohammad. Waiting.
.
Wow. I guess what my Brit friend says is true. Jesus was not born in Great Britain because they couldn’t find 3 wise men.
Shades of Sam Kinnisson
I wouldn’t worry: if this was the one I downloaded, it’s boring. Without publicity no one will watch it.
And Mary did risk being called a prostitute for being pregnant.
The only insulting part is the miscasting of the Mary character: Mary is not believable. I’ve lived in the third world rural areas for much of my life, and the actress acted like a 20 something 20th century city girl.
At least in the movie “the Nativity”, it was boring, but the actress was believable as a glowing, teen aged Mary.

The way to properly deal with the BBC is simply don't watch. They will go away just like media in the United States.
“Don’t forget that those who wrote the gospels were doing so from a distance of 200 years.
I always understood the synoptic gospels were written much earlier with Mark about 45 (Year of our Lord) and Matthew and Luke at about 60 (Anno Domini). Now this means lots of friends and neighbors were still extant.
John (my personal favorite) took more investigative reporting, although I suspect John was a better reporter than anyone hired by the BBC. Anyway, John published his story at about 90, so many of his sources were still first hand.
Simply not a fact. In fact, a bold telling of a big lie that absolutely violates the truth that the gospels were the in-their-lifetime record of the Apostles and/or their amanuensis.
Why in the word is it considered "daring" to denigrate those who will not strike back at you?
Next, we'll hear them applauding their courage for taking advantage of little kids. They, too, can't strike back.
