  1. Netflix’s new nativity movie about birth of Jesus Christ is slammed for being ‘anti-Semitic’

    …one ‘especially problematic scene’ that shows a pregnant Mary being chased through the streets by a Jewish mob.

    The crowd is heard hurling the Hebrew word for ‘prostitute’ at the Bethlehem woman following her immaculate conception…

    Oh, Netflix!🙄

    That was in Mark, ch17, right?

      The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary’s miraculous conception without the stain of Original Sin. The fact that one of her eggs was inseminated by the Holy Spirit rather than a man is known as the Virgin Birth.

      Mary being chased and called “prostitute” is equally ignorant. Joseph was betrothed to her when she conceived and planned to quietly divorce her until an angel told him not to. So, as far as society was concerned, Mary and Joseph had just jumped the gun on their wedding night.

      As for Mary being portrayed as a teen because it “aligns with right-wing Christian anti-choice rhetoric” .. puh-leeze. Her young age is a tradition of many, many centuries.

      “Jewish maidens were considered marriageable at the age of twelve years and six months, though the actual age of the bride varied with circumstances.”
