There is no horror movie that involves Christ that could be considered appropriate. There is lots of other material that could be used in the Bible and it would be fine.

Like the story of Judges 19-21, for example.

Cage should stay away from lightning prone areas for the foreseeable future.

There is not one author of the new testament that was there when Jesus was born or can attest to anything that occurred in that time period. All the stories in that time period is nothing more than projection .

Mary, Jesus’ mother, was still living when Matthew wrote his account and would have gotten her firsthand eyewitness testimony. Luke says he interviewed eyewitnesses in his account which may have included Mary. There may have been other eyewitness who saw the birth of Jesus that we are unaware of.

Many historical accounts of famous people were written by people who weren’t physically present but interviewed people who were.

And this was all written down at least 70 years after the crucifixion.So that would be about a hundred years after his birth. I am sure they got all the details exactly as it happened.

They’re using the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. I like your idea much, much better.

“And this was all written down at least 70 years after the crucifixion.”

The synoptic Gospels were written 25-30 years after the crucifixion.

Another example of replacing a white woman portraying the Mother of Christ with a black freak show - truly blasphemy on display.

What evidence do you have that the Gospel writers didn’t get the details exactly as it happened?

Also, there is strong evidence that Matthew’s account was written down between 50-60AD which is within living memory of possible eyewitnesses.

“Scholars date the writing of Matthew’s gospel to the late 50’s or early 60’s in the first century. This is due in part to a comment by the church father Irenaeus that “Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church.”

(Irenaeus, “Against Heresies”, 3.1.1.
