The Netflix movie The First Temptation of Christ portrays Jesus as gay. Now there is a backlash
Two Nigerian pastors are up in arms against Netflix, a global movie streaming service, over a comedy production on Jesus, titled ‘The First Temptation of Christ’.
The movie which debuted 3 December in Brazil, where it was produced portrays Jesus as gay and his mother Mary as a weed smoker. About 1.5 million people in Brazil have already signed a petition asking Netflix to axe the 46 minute movie.
One of the Nigerian pastors, Apostle Johnson Suleman who opposed the film has threatened to mobilise christians worldwide to boycott Netflix.
In several tweets on Sunday, Suleman wrote: “Delete Netflix app on your system..unfollow them if you are a true Christian..The movie ‘gay jesus’ is an insult to christianity and abuse to our sensibilities..we stand to condemn it and all it stands for…Mad people…
“We have 2.5billion Christians on earth, if Netflix goes ahead with this rubbish, we should boycott them.. that movie is evil, its not right and it will not stand.
“The glory of present day cinema is Netflix..but since they have decided to blaspheme, its crash is inevitable..you want to do a film ‘gay jesus’?…it’s the beginning of your end..we are not cowards cause we are tolerant”, he said.
