DeMille – director of “ The Ten Commandments” was pegged as a “ sentimental Salvationist, a warm-hearted man-of-God and a cinematic lay preacher, but also as a salacious cineaste who proffered epic sex-and-sin behind a moral façade. According to one film historian, Cecil B. Other classic Bible films are no different.

They have also documented more than 200 million people who have indicated decisions for Christ after seeing the film. Not to mention Brian Deacon, the actor who played Jesus also acted in a supernatural film called “ Vampyres” that many would call pornography.Īnd yet the team at The Jesus Film Project in Orlando acquired the film after it’s theatrical release and is currently reporting more than 6 billion viewings worldwide for the purpose of evangelism. The Jesus film’s writer, Barnet Bain, also wrote the new age movie “ The Celestine Prophecy” as well as a film on Buddha. It’s co-director, Peter Sykes also directed horror films like “ The House At Nightmare Park” and “ To the Devil a Daughter.” The latter movie involved an occult novelist, a group of Satanists, and an excommunicated priest, who plan on using a young girl as the representative of the Devil on Earth.

The classic case is the Jesus Film produced in 1979. But looking back on the history of treasured Bible films the Church has enjoyed and valued for a lifetime, it’s difficult to find much evidence that many people associated with those films were actually Christians. The understandable implication is that Christians shouldn’t trust a film about a Bible story directed by a non-believer. While there are many issues (both good and bad) about the recent Noah movie, one of the biggest criticisms that Christians have leveled at the film is that it’s director is an avowed atheist.
