Titolo: IN JCS- JESUS CHRIST FORNICATED WITH MARY MAGDALENE !

The blasphemous "Rock Opera" Jesus Christ Superstar has reared its
ugly head in Cork, running in the premier theatre in the city. This
production views the last few days of the life of Jesus Christ through
the eyes of demon possessed Judas Iscariot and includes the following
blasphemies:
* That Jesus Christ fornicated with Mary Magdalene who is portrayed as
a harlot.
* That Jesus Christ was only a man and not the Messiah He claimed to
be.
* That Jesus Christ confessed that He was mad.
* That Jesus Christ was about to change His mind before going to the
Cross.
* That Jesus Christ confessed to being insufficient for those who
sought Him.
* That Jesus Christ told those who sought healing to heal themselves.
* That the Apostles were drunk when they partook of the Lord's Supper.
* That Judas Iscariot accused God of murdering him.
* The ending of this supposed story of Jesus - no resurrection from
the dead.
A letter of protest was written to the directors of Cork Opera House.
We received a reply to the effect that it would be considered at the
next board meeting. We also wrote a letter of protest to the two local
newspapers, the Cork Echo and the Examiner (which covers the entire
country) Both these newspapers ran a full article on the matter, with
the Cork Echo making it their main story with the front headline which
read "Blasphemy"

Dear Sir,
Cork Free Presbyterian Church wishes to place on record its opposition
to the forthcoming production of Jesus Christ Superstar. Tim Rice who
wrote the lyrics openly confessed that it was a portrayal of Jesus
Christ as viewed through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Since Judas
became devil possessed (Luke 22:3) and was branded as "the son of
perdition" (John 17:6) then this production will prove to be
spiritually harmful to those who attend it.
Among the objectionable parts of Jesus Christ Superstar is the idea
that Christ's claims are mythical and that He was just a man; that the
Holy Son of God fornicated with Mary Magdalene; that He was a maniac,
threatening to change His mind before He went to the Cross. The opera
ends with Christ in the tomb with no resurrection message etc.,
It is hard to try and enter into the mindset of those who host or
perform such a play. For some, money is their god and therefore there
are no depths to which they will not plumb in order to make a few
Euro. For others, any attempt to smear the Bible testimony of the Son
of God is to be welcomed. Whatever motive drives people to support
this production, the word of God remains the same. "Be not deceived;
God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap." (Galatians 6:7)
Yours faithfully,
Colin Maxwell
The local radio station (Cork 96fm) took up the matter and I had a
very stormy session with the interviewer and some folk who rang in.
The interviewer was pig ignorant, to say the least, and used a
slightly adapted version of the "F" word in association with the Lord
Jesus. I rebuked him live on air as a blasphemer and told him that his
mouth was an open sepulchre and the poison of asps was under his lips
(Romans 3:13) On two occasions, people who rang in told me to "go
back" meaning that since I was born outside the Irish Republic, I
should return to where I came from...although one caller (from Belfast
like myself) said that I should return to England (?!) I challenged
the legality of these comments on the second occasion since such
language is legally considered racist. Only then did the interviewer
step in to end such langauge. I was on my feet at the telephone for
well over an hour with only a 5 minute break for the news report. The
commercial breaks were very long with 5-6 adverts and so I was
actually on air for around 30 minutes. The interviewer bellowed at me
to "get a life" and suggested that people like me i.e. evangelical
Christians should keep to our chapels and meeting halls. I was
thinking afterwards that this was a bit rich...since they asked me to
appear on their programme. I was asked had I seen the production. I
hadn't, although I downloaded the entire script from the internet and
studied it. This was constantly dismissed as if irrelevant. At the
end, the interviewer offered to buy me a ticket for the show, but I
declined his offer. It was an experience rather than a pleasure. I
have met a lot of pig ignorant people in my day...but the interviewer
I encountered must rank among the worse. I believe his vile comment
will return upon his head when the same Lord Jesus whom he so horribly
blasphemed will judge him at the last day (Acts 17:31) Truly, we
preached the gospel here with much contention (1 Thessalonians 2:2) We
did an uninterrupted opportunity to quote John 3:16, applying the word
"whosoever" to mean "all men, whether Protestant or Catholic, Jew or
Gentile, Hindu or whatever etc.,"
I was very glad and thankful for our good friends in the Blarney Bible
Baptist Church, along with their pastor Craig Ledbetter. They stood
with our folk in a protest outside the Opera House on the night of the
official launch of the show. Including Christians from other
fellowships, there were 16 of us standing outside with appropriate
boards displaying our objections and also who the real Jesus Christ is
i.e. Coming King of kings! We were able to spread out and cover a
large patch of ground. A small RC group saying the rosary also turned
up...although the local RC diocese were reported in the Cork Echo as
saying that they had no objections to the play at all. Those who look
to Rome to defend the Lord Jesus will surely look in vain. A couple of
leaflets were produced, dealing both with the blasphemies of the opera
and a more direct gospel one. At the end of the time of protest, we
sang a hymn: "I serve a risen Saviour" - highlighting the deliberate
omission of this most fundamental gospel truth from the show.
Today, three days after the above radio programme and protest outside
Cork Opera House... the vibes are still being felt. Cork 96fm are
still taking phone calls on the matter, but I'm not giving up my day
off to listen to them! I did, however, take the short opportunity to
speak on the local Campus Radio of University College of Cork (UCC)
One of their dramatic societies supplied personnel for the background
music. The interviewer here was certainly a lot more professional than
the ignoramus from Cork 96fm
Sorry we have no photographs - we had GREAT difficulty getting them to
load [on our old website]. However, be assured, that all who went in
to the show were aware that there were those outside who were glad of
the opportunity to "earnestly contend for the faith once delivered
unto the saints" (Jude 3)

 a harlot.
ROTFL. La Maddalena, come la intendiamo noi, è il risultato della fusione
di enne personaggi femminili diversi di cui almeno una faceva la
prostituta.
Che vi scandalizziate cosi' tanto perchè il fondatore della religione non
aveva problemi a parlare con le cosiddette donnacce e le portasse anche ad
esempio "i pubblicani e le prostitute vi passeranno davanti" qualcosina
vuol dire.
Tutto quanto scrivete è molto fundamentalist anglosaxon. Ma non toglie che
state prendendo un musical che ha piu' di 30 ANNI. 
E capirete che nn è stiate parlando di ultime novità
A quando un bel post su "I diavoli di Loudon" di Russel ? Per festeggiare
il 40nnale, verrebbe a puntino.

Ok, l'umorismo non e' il tuo forte...
Invece di sviare il discorso con battute degne di Massimo Boldi, perche'

 Mi debbo preoccupare ?
Ecco, adesso tutto comincia a diventare chiaro.... *lol*

 Di sicuro, comunque, non dalle regole della logica.
l'esempio di chi sa di peccare, fondamentale per essere convertiti, curati e 
salvati. Le prostitute, o comunque le donne paccatrici, nei vangeli, fanno 
più bella figura dei giusti.

"La chiesa non pone le sue speranze nei privilegi offertigli dall'autorità
civile. Anzi, essa stessa rinunzierà all'esercizio di certi
diritti legittimamente acquisiti, ove constatasse che il loro uso potesse
far dubitare della sincerità della sua testimonianza... È suo diritto
predicare la fede ... e dare il suo giudizio morale ... e questo farà
utilizzando tutti e soli quei mezzi che sono conformi al vangelo e al bene
di tutti" (Gaudium et spes 76).

 prostitute.
ma nemmeno questo è del tutto vero, in quel contesto Gesù prende ad esempio
i bambini, ma ricorda anche che:
Lu 7:32 Sono simili a quei bambini che stando in piazza gridano gli uni agli
altri:
Vi abbiamo suonato il flauto e non avete ballato; vi abbiamo cantato un 
lamento e non avete pianto!

 Mamma mia!
