"Knowledge is not necessarily wisdom." Proverb from Ancient Egyptian Temple
I've just received an email from a friend in France that protest on a "Corpus Christi" movie which show Jesus and his disciples as gays. When I read an email, I knew it's a hoax (What is hoax?). I wanted to make sure so I googled and found that this email is circulating around in the webspace since 2000, the same email with the exact text. As I expected, there's no movie named "Corpus Christi"!!!
However, I don't set aside that a crazy man (or may be woman) in Hollywood might produce a movie with the same idea. This world goes more absurd everyday!!!
Email Body:
A pornographic movie is being shot and is intended to show up in America soon, which shows Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals!
The same way as a play that has been in the theater halls for a while. It's called "Corpus Christi" which means "The Body of Christ". It is a revolting joke of our Lord. But we can make a difference, that's why I'm sending this e-mail to all of you. Could you, please, add your name to this e-mail's list's end? If you do so, together we may be able to ban this movie from being shown in America.
Apparently, some regions from Europe have banned the movie already. All we need is a lot of signatures! Remember, Jesus said: "That who deny Me before men, I will also deny Him before my Father which is in heaven."
Please, do not simply forward!!!
Please, select all text, copy this message (CTRL+C), paste (CTRL+V) in a new message and then add your name at the end of the list, plus send to all your contacts. When the signatures get to 500 names (who is list's 500), please send them to: homasg@softhome.net And then start it all over again...... IF WE WORK TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT!!!!
Thanks!

I know that that thing was a hoax, and when I received it I gave the sender a good lesson in trying to confirm things before sending them.
Now.. I have to say that this idea is not new and has been in literature for more than a century; I'm not sure if it has been made in a theatre play or not, but I read somewhere in a Salama Moussa's old book that a novel was written figuring Jesus and his disciples as a group of homosexuals... so what..
If u are a christian that would hurt ur feelings because i know who God isand i wouldn't want anyone to dirty His name, why? because he has been too good 4 me and he is the greatest friend i neva had, now, wouldnt u do da same 4 ur friend?
Would you mind learning how to type before posting something ? Couldn't your friend god give you some pointers on how to use a computer, him being such a good friend and all ? I mean, I am not the best in English, but at least I don't need to use numbers to complete my sentences.
And as for the subject in hand, why is it that people keep getting offended or "hurt" when someone speaks about their god in a bad way ? Who cares ? Come on, if there is a movie about it, regardless of the fact that you believe in god or not, it's the right of these people to do the movie. If you don't like it, don't go see it. Wouldn't it be simple if people just let go of other's people hand, and be themselves ?
Of course not. That would mean they would have to THINK by themselves and GOD knows how that would end up.

Hmm... God teaches you how to be a man, not a computer geek. He teaches you the morals of life, not the addiction of computer. I thought that would be the devil's job, don't you think?
Really? I got that forward years ago too.
I deleted it because I have no idea what they were on about.
Well, what do you know!

Sincerly,
A HAPPY CHILD OF GOD!
DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS?
I SURE DIDNT TILL NOW
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death!
Make a personal reflection about this.....
Very interesting, read until the end.....
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Here are some men and women who mocked God:
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
"Christianity will end, it will disappear.I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, Today we are more famous than Him" (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said: "God, that's for you."
He died at the age of 32 of AIDS in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be. With an ironic tone he said: "Not even God can sink it"
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic .
Marilyn M
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show. He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her. After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said: "I don't need your Jesus".
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment .
Bon Scott (Singer). The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
"Don't stop me, I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell".
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005). In Campinas, Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend..... The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
"My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.." She responded: "Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full "
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken .
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle .
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive .
"Jesus"
P.S: If it was a joke, you would have sent it to everyone. So are you going to have courage to send this?.
I have done my part, Jesus said
"If you are embarrassed about me,
I will also be embarrassed about you before my father."
You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this. No way!
I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T.D. Jakes "8 Second Prayer." Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!
"Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen."
Pass this message to as many people as posible. You will receive a miracle tomorrow.. I Hope that you don't ignore and let God bless you .
God's Blessings.
Serve the Lord with gladness ! Ps 100:2
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!! In the name of the Lord there is victory! Every living thing on earth is the creation of our Lord the Almighty!!! And we are the only chosen kind of his creation to obey his command, for the Glory of our Lord! And if we go against him, we shall also be one of those God forsaken human beings, and face death in the most horrible way!! To others, Even if ya'll dont Glorify the name of THE LORD OUR SAVIOUR please dont disgrace it!!! One day you will have to answer him!
May The Lord forgive you for your sins, Even after what you have said and done. Jesus still loves you.
Let me ask you a question if you die today WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO, you think hell is all that i have news for you. You will never be able to explain the pain and suffering that you will indure over and over and over.
If you had to stand infron of God and he had to ask you why should I let you into heaven WHAT WILL YOU SAY?????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
I'll pray for you just as Jesus does.
I don't really care who u r calling christian freaks but pray hard where u will go when you die. i really hope god will forgive you of what you hav said and did but insulting the god is like insulting our father. And how would u like if we insulted your father?
I've gotten different versions of this email several times (it actually started before any of us had email, back in 1984 as a rumor that resulted in millions of enraged Christians writing their congressman), and it never ceases to astound me how the oldest hoaxes always find an audiance among otherwise seemingly intelligent people. There is a play called Corpus Christi that depicts a homosexual man named Joshua being more or less kicked out of his hometown of Corpus Christi, TX, and returning with his twelve gay disciples with whom he has sex, ultimately being betrayed by his friend Judas and crucified, and there were plans to make a movie out of it in 1998, but the project never got off the ground. This concept is an affront to anyone that is a follower of Christ, but even if it was possible to ban a media publication of any kind in America (if it were, there would be no porn industry and Howard Stern would have been shot quite some time ago), simply typing your name and hometown onto an email and forwarding it on has no legal ramification whatsoever.
I just received the e-mail and i thought it was kinda fishy so i googled it up and i got this site. There are lots of wierd e-mails like that.They never end up being truw
We as chrstians need to stand up for what we belive and let it be known that the majority will not be silent any longer.
I hope this message on fighting against this movie will reach the people trying to make mockory of JESUS CHRIST and they know the truth about how many (majority of the people in the states) people are against them.

I seriously don't see what's the big deal. I mean ppl even have sex with dogs + horses or whatever. I've never heard of the animals rights group doing anything abt it. So what if they make a movie abt that? If that's what they want to think then, who cares? It won't CHANGE ur belief in wether Jesus was straight or not will it? So no big deal. Insult to ur religion? Please, people do worse to other religions. And what can u do abt it if it does come out? Ban it? Kill those who support it? Sure, they can say it's illegal for anyone to watch it, but do u think those ppl really care? Racsim is condemed but it's still happening. You cannot control it and even if u protest, sure, it'll show ur stand, ur voice will be heard. But it's just gonna make things harder. there'll be more publicity + some will get curious and WANT to watch it. it's just gonna make things harder.
Not to downplay your desire for religious voiciferous, but every citizen of the United States of America has the Right to express their opinions. Many people express their voice through their ideas of art. The best way we can protest their views is by not giving any credit to them by ignoring their "artworks." In my investigation of this Email Hoax I found that there was indeed a play called "Corpus Christi" about a homosexual boy who was persecuted and driven from Corpus Christi, TX. Eventually he returned to his home of Corpus Christi where he organized "disciples" who believed in his "sexual expression," was betrayed by one of his "disciples" and ended up getting crucified by the ignorant townspeople. The review I found made mention of paralellisms to the story of Christ and any knowledgeble individual who disagreed with the playwright didn't go support the production. This play was a complete and total bomb at every auditorium that it was shown.
In no way do I support homosexuallity, but at the same time people have the right to live how they want, and if they don't mind being discreet about their choices then I'll be discreet about my own. The gospel of Jesus Christ was never about intolerance, nor indifference, it was and is about speaking up for what you believe is right and not supporting the things that you disagree with.
This is seriously stupid. i am a proud christian, and for all of you who are standing up for you belief--> thats just fine! because i would like to say shame on you who bad mouth christians or agree with the idea of a gay Christ. BUT!!!!!: when an email is a HOAX whether your a christian or not its stupid for forwarding it and thinking your supporting your belief, how can you be legit with standing up against something if its not even real!!... people go back to work and stop sending dumb messages...
To those of You who have faith in Jesus and believe that HE is the True Bread of life then you are saved,
but
To those of you who have no faith and think that watching such a movie of low degree will do no harm then you should start looking for a friend who will pray for your soul to be spared from dieing.
A disgusting thing is to have an idea such like this, to harvest money on dirting God's name.
How dare those people to show a movie like that, disgracing a religion's god? I, as a Christian, will never watch this horrible, lowly movie for I am a faithful Christian and will not believe this disgusting film.
you say how dare they and i say get yourself informed... how about you get yourself to a search engine and educate yourself on the fact that its not true and they are not in fact making such a movie? here is a link http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/g/gayjesusmovie.htm
Dude, U made a little mistake here. If you ever come back here and read this you'll know you better remove your posto or get it removed by an adm.
^_^
kind of you forgot to read the actual purpose of this subj. It says that the movie doesn't exist, and the mail is a prank. I'm christian 2, and of course I do try 2 stand up 2 deffend His name; but U should've read the whole thing B4 posting. 'may His peace B w/U, and may there be mercy for the jerk who said it would be a good idea for halloween, so he can find out THE truth and where 2 stand.
jesus is not only god on earth but jesus taking corpus of human being, is a historitical person. and the history doesnt say he was a guy so IT IS NOT THE RIGHT OF ANYONE TO SHOW HIM IN SOMETHING HE ISN'T!!!!
this is my opinion
Yea, like God never exists
. This's another issue but it's easy to prove Jesus (as a normal historical person) existance than God existance. I don't have enough space here to go in debate with you, you can easily search the net and/or read some trusted historical books to find it as a fact.
