Wasn’t O’Reilly squawking about co-directing this a while back?
Pilate.
I enjoyed Mel Gibson's "Passion of the Christ".
It was a pathetic account. He took out so much of the story it made it irritating. Where did he get Judas buying his rope for thirty pieces of silver rather than giving it back to the priests who bought the potters field?
It seemed Thomas Jefferson wrote and directed it.
I’m not.
The biggest issue after watching some of it is that Jesus is portrayed as aimlessly walking about not sure of himself and who he is and isn’t quite sure what’s going on. Basically they did a ‘Life of Brian’ but just called him Jesus
” John the Baptist death”
How was it totally rewritten other than not being on a tray?
6 But at a birthday party for Herod, Herodiass daughter performed a dance that greatly pleased him, 7 so he promised with a vow to give her anything she wanted. 8 At her mothers urging, the girl said, I want the head of John the Baptist on a tray! 9 Then the king regretted what he had said; but because of the vow he had made in front of his guests, he issued the necessary orders. 10 So John was beheaded in the prison, 11 and his head was brought on a tray and given to the girl, who
“One day in Sunday School the children were asked to draw a picture of what they had learned. The teacher looked at one of the results: it was a passenger jet with a pilot and what was obviously the Holy Family in the back. The teacher exclaimed: “That’s not in the Bible!” The child answered: “Yes, it is! That’s Pontius the Pilot and this is the flight to Egypt!”
I would not have expected O’Reilly to accurately, as per the account rendered in Matthew, Chap. 27, verses 15-25, acknowledge which party, the Jewish Sanhedrin and hangers on, or the Roman occupiers, were politically, objectively responsible for Jesus being put to death.
O’Baxter is just full of himself enough to think he is qualified to rewrite the Bible.
Well try to remember who wrote the book. Ted Baxter. The one and only book of his I ever bought (name escapes me at the moment) and actually stood in line to get him to sign it I couldn’t even finish it. It was so bad. The guy is a terrible writer.
The actor who protray Jesus is a Muslim - go figure
All you needed to know to bypass this program was that the book was co-written by the bloviator O’Reilly.
It was hard to relate to the real story.
I agree. No Holy Spirit dove. No healing the soldier’s ear. No walking on water - just to mention a few neglects. . Scenes very dark and too chopped up. Actor who attempted to portray Jesus looked more like a villain than a divine presence. Mr. O should stick to news commentary and even that is doubtful after the way he has been dismissing my favorite candidates. Quit while you are ahead, Bill.
Don’t tell me how it ends...
Wait till you read Killing Patton. I always wondered why the estate of Jim Bishop never sued O’. The first three of O’s books were direct ripoff of Bishop.
