Outline
Protest message claims that an upcoming movie to be called Corpus Christi depicts Jesus and his disciples as gay.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the message are false. No such movie is about to be released or is in production at the time of writing. In fact, there is no evidence to suggest that such a film is even being considered at this time. Variants of the “gay Jesus movie” rumour have been now been circulating for well over thirty years.
Example:
Subject: FW: Movie Corpus Christi
The movie Corpus Christi is due to be released this June to August. Let’s stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Saviour. If the Muslims do what they believe to be right when films or mockery appears against their religion , where do we stand as Christians?
This disgusting film set to appear in America later this year and it depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theatres for a while. It’s called Corpus Christi ‘ which means ‘The Christ Body.’ It’s a revolting mockery of our Lord. But, we can make a difference. That’s why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we may be able to prevent this film from showing in America and South Africa.
Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. We need a lot of prayers and a lot of e-mails.
As a Christian I want to take a stand in what I believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior.
At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I’m forwarding this to all I think would appreciate it. Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. It will take you less than 2 minutes! If you are not interested, and do not have the 2 Minutes it will take to do this , please don’t complain when God does not have time for you, because He is far busier than we are.
Remember, Jesus said ‘Deny Me on earth and I’ll deny you before my Father’.
