Well, for those of you who don't know, I play in musicals, rock operas and theatre plays, and one of my upcoming projects is Jesus Christ Superstar, in which I play the role of Jesus. It's not like I have my hair long or a beard, but... Well, some of the band decided to take matters into their own hands... Hehe... This is me, with image manipulation: http://www.snsdesign.nl/jezus.gif |

Edit: First, here was an explanation of what Jesus Christ Superstar was in my eyes, but I don't really feel the need.  The apology is accepted, and I wish to issue an apology of my own, for what I feel is overreacting to the comment. It just touched a sore spot with me too, I think.Peace, Ken This comment was edited by Mookie on Feb 26 2004 08:41pm. |

Good, this is settled then. Moby, maybe you should start a thread about this on general discussion. In other news... you know, if you compared that pic of Ken, and a pic of me when I was 19, you would probably see huge similarities. |

I still vote that this forum, or our chat channel is not the battleground for religious debate. It only aggravates people and makes sore wounds. I just hope that this matter ends here, and what started as a misunderstanding (this thread was not about JCSS but Kenyon's funky pic) should end as one too.

Well, I guess this calls for me to back up my statements. I was making a point based on this absolute vile work written by a heretic. I have done intense study and have reported numerous times on this play. And now I will share my findings with you. The fact is that Jesus Christ Superstar is a conscious blasphemy against Christ. According to the plain statements of its authors, it is a deliberate repudiation of the Christ of Scripture. Tim Rice, who wrote the words of the opera, stated, "Although the gospels seem largely accurate in their telling of the events of the crucifixion, one can see great flaws in their portrayals of both Christ and Judas." Tim Rice said, "The idea of the whole opera is to have Christ seen through the eyes of Judas, and Christ as a man, not as a God. And the fact that Christ himself is just as mixed up and unaware of exactly what he is, as Judas is." His opera constantly drives home this denial of the Son of God. He has Mary Magdalene say, "He's a man, he's just a man." He even puts his blasphemy into the mouth of Christ. Replying to the cries for healing from the crowd, Superstar's Christ says, There's too many of you -- don't push me There's too little of me -- don't crowd me Heal yourselves. You ask me how I can support such a thing? This is a plain denial of the single most important truth of the gospel, the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh" (I Timothy 3:16). Jesus Christ Superstar Defies this to the extreme. Sorry Kenyon, but it does. Jesus Christ Superstar not only strips Christ of His deity but even of His morality. The opera presents Mary Magdalene as a prostitute who says of Christ, He's a man, he's just a man And I've had so many men before. In many ways He's just one more According to this POS Play the relationship with Christ causes Judas to object: It seems a strange thing to me, mystifying, That a man like you can waste time on women of her kind; Yes I can understand that she amuses But to let her stroke you, kiss your hair, is hardly in your line. GIMME A BREAK... Instead of filling your mind with the lies and blasphemies of Jesus Christ Superstar you should know that the real Christ is the Son of God and the almighty Saviour of sinners. Jesus Christ Superstar presents a Christ who died in defeat and mental turmoil. It leaves him on the cross, a failure. That is the devil's version of the story of Christ. It is a lie through and through. The truth is that Christ died with a great purpose: "When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly" Very soon every one of us will have to face the true Lord Jesus Christ, not the figment of Tim Rice's imagination. He has the keys of hell and of death. Our eternal destiny depends on our relationship with Him: "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" (John 3:36). Repudiate Jesus Christ Superstar with all its blasphemy. Receive Jesus Christ the Son of God and the only Saviour of sinners. And Kenyon, I am sorry if I offended you. And your right, it is not my place to tell someone they need to soul search. I appologize. This is just a VERY sore subject for me and I see red every time i hear of this play. Maybe that is something I should work on as well. I am sure your a fine actor and work hard to do your best. Please forgive my insensitivity to you regarding this issue.

I didn't like Jesus Christ Superstar either, or any Broadway-style musicals for that matter, but if it makes someone happy to see it or participate in it, who are we to criticize? _______________ Midbie Council Member #2 - Profile ID 2073 | Member of B@rtM@ulS@ar | Owner of Monty's 2000th comment & D@RtHM@UL's 8100th comment | Former Padawan of SilkMonkey & Arcuss JA Goaltender & NHL Fan | Fellow Rush fan to Axion|Plo Koon is my oldest JA friend Post your RL pics HERE! | Post you JK2/JK3 screenies HERE! |

Jesus Christ Superstar is a mockery and should banned. Anyone who would take part in anything having ANYTHING to do with it needs to soul search for a while....IMHO.... -DM- _______________ One Day, it will all end. |
