President of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has condemned American media-services provider, Netflix, for its gay Jesus movie.
In several tweets on Sunday, the cleric called for Christians to boycott the platform.
Netflix released the 46-minute film, The First Temptation of Christ, on December 3 in Brazil depicting Jesus as a gay man.
“Delete Netflix app on your system. Unfollow them if you are a true Christian. The movie ‘gay jesus’ is an insult to christianity and abuse to our sensibilities. We stand to condemn it and all it stands for. Mad people,” Suleman said on Twitter.
So far, more than 1.4 million people have signed an online petition calling on Netflix to remove the piece and take action against the producers for their ‘alleged insensitivity toward Christians.’
The flick is by a Brazil-based YouTube comedy group and shows Jesus as a closeted homosexual on Christmas.
The film sees Jesus and a friend named Orlando arriving at Mary and Joseph’s house who are throwing a birthday party for their son.
Jesus tries to downplay his relationship with Orlando, who hints the pair are more than just friends.
