Have you noticed that so much of leftism is simply taking what is good, true, and beautiful and inverting it?
This is also known as the “privation theory,” the idea that evil doesn’t exist by itself apart from good. Rather, they believe it is the absence of and defilement of good. They do this often, be it with marriage or the biological realities of male and female. They take something that is good and strip all of it away until you’re left with something ugly and wicked. That is how you’re left with same-sex marriage, abortion, transgenderism, and more.
They also do this with religion. Cynthia Erivo is a self-identified LGBT actress known for her role in the Broadway hit “Wicked.” Her fame was turned to infamy after she was cast as the Son of God in the new production of “Jesus Christ Superstar,” a show purported to depict the final days of Jesus in His betrayal by Judas Iscariot.
Footage has gone viral online showing a frail, and what many are calling “demonic imagery,” of Erivo with wide eyes and long talon-like nails alongside fellow LGBT performer Adam Lambert. Lambert took on the role of a more sympathetically portrayed Judas Iscariot, who is not seen so much as a traitor but more of a pragmatist concerned with the direction Jesus was going.
In defense of his colleague, after receiving backlash for her casting and much of the clips of the play circulating online, Lambert said, “Jesus Christ Superstar is supposed to provoke and challenge. That’s the point. And shouldn’t the teachings of Jesus transcend gender?”
So, which is it? Is the play supposed to “provoke” or is it supposed to “transcend gender?” If gender doesn’t really matter because it’s the latter, then why go so far out of your way to cast a woman to play the Son of God? Were there not enough eligible men to fit that role?
Of course, Lambert is right about one thing. The play does “provoke.” It provokes Christians who are angry to see a mockery made of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. From the scandalous outfits, to the dark satanic themed imagery, to casting a woman who’s living a lifestyle that scripture tells us is an abomination unto the Lord.
Yes, it does provoke. But take heart, Christians, for God will not be mocked.
