I’m sure it will “peak” the interest in something, maybe, oh, well.....
One of the writers is Barbara Nicolosi, a devout orthodox Catholic (she is affiliated with Catholic Answers). The other writer is the same one who wrote Gibson’s Passion movie - and we know that movie used the traditional Stations of the Cross to tell the gospel story of Christ’s passion.
It seems the traditional version of Mary - the one even Luther embraced - will prevail in this movie.
Amen.
Osteen carries the New Testament message of faith, hope and charity, which many naysayers and lovers of the law (”the ministry of death”) don’t seem to like. God has anointed Joel to minster life, strength, and healing to God’s people (”the ministry of the Spirit”).
All those folks who give him money will now see it put into a movie that will make him even more millions. I’m sure he saw what Mel made and decided he’d try to get in on it.
Will Mel Gibson direct it?
And I’m sure mister Osteen’s son will continue to do it so long as the suckers keep pouring their money on him, anointing him with his real god, vane glory.
Know of Billy Graham, never heard of this Joel Osteen fellow.
Prequel to the ‘Passion of the Christ’ now thats marketing for you. Legitimately any movie covering the gospel mission of Christ would be a prequel. But this one? Give me a break.
In an Osteen movie about the mother of Jesus, expect Mary to be portrayed as not especially Jewish but on a search for self improvement, confidence, fitting in and creature comforts, all these through prayer.
‘All generations will call me blessed’ Lk 1:48
Joel Osteen, isn’t he that slick, vaguely Christian sounding motivational speaker? Does infomercials or something?
Joel Osteen is a fraud as are all televangelists who use religion to draw on multi-million dollar paychecks and use the dollars of hordes of suckers, mainly middle-aged white women, to benefit their own families and relatives. In a perfect world these scoundrels will be wearing striped suits in jail.
Peek at some of the dialog: Mary: “Joseph, I know I can do this because I feel good about myself.”
Eh, Joel... someone already thought of that and beat you to the punch:
How do you know this?
Anyone think it will depict the Assumption?
I do not trust anything Joel Osteen is associated with to be accurate.
I don't think so. Nicolosi is the Founder of Act One Program, a nonprofit program to train and mentor Christians for careers as Hollywood writers and executives.
Nicolosi is thoroughly and enthusiastically Catholic - and has been since she began her career.
Her affiliation with the very orthodox “Catholic Answers” is as a featured upcoming guest for its daily Catholic apoligetics radio show (airs soon). http://www.catholic.com/radio/shows/hollywood-mission-territory-7207
You are right about Act One, but she is also highly active in a bevy of overtly orthodox Catholic endeavors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_Nicolosi
