Nigerians react to Netflix movie which portrays Jesus as gay

A Brazillian Netflix film about a gay Jesus has sparked a huge backlash with many Nigerians condemning the movie

The movie entitled ‘The First Temptation of Christ’ is a 46-minute comedy flick showing Jesus as a closeted homosexual.

It sees Jesus and a ‘friend’ named Orlando arriving at Mary and Joseph’s house for a birthday party. Jesus tries to downplay their relationship, while Orlando hints that they’re more than friends.

The Netflix description reads:

“Jesus, who’s hitting the big 3-0, brings a surprise guest to meet the family. A Christmas special so wrong, it must be from comedians Porta dos Fundos.”

The movie has sparked annoyance among Christians from all over the world including Nigeria — with millions around the world signing a petition for Netflix to bring it down and tender an apology to all Christians.

Taking twitter on Sunday, many Nigerians on the platform kicked against the movie, describing it as disrespectful.

See some reactions below

Netflix releasing a Movie that portrayed Jesus as gay is far too reaching and disrespectful, it's cool to be whatever you want, but don't try and rub it on people's faces, respect other people's beliefs too.

Jesus was never gay, stop forcing it!!!

BREAKING:@netflix released a show depicting Jesus as GAY?!

Let’s make this CLEAR!

Jesus isn’t some “woke” culture experiment for you to convince young people that biblical teachings are “debatable”?!

Jesus is the SON OF GOD and died for our sins!

Show some RESPECT!!!

So @netflix wakes up to paint Jesus Christ as “drunk” and as “gay” in a new movie. This is NOT “woke”, this is insanity.

The disgusting thing about these insane liberals is their complete inability to know when to draw the line.

I hope they never make a movie with Allah as gay.

I doubt Jesus Christ is concerned on how they portray him. We are talking about the King of kings.

A lot of opinions from mere earthlings will not bother you when you're the Lord of lords.

Jesus does not need me to fight his fight either.
