These were the words of the man who was given the part of Jesus in the movie.
I'm Brian Deacon, I'm an English actor and I've acted in several flicks and played Jesus in the 1979 film where I was cast by patron John Heyman to play the part of JESUS.
I've been married doubly, first to Rula Lenska, with whom I had a son, Lara Cleric, and also married Natalie Bloch, to whom I've been married since 1998.
One day my director asked me if I wanted to play the task of Jesus, I said yes why not? but he didn't believe that I could play this task. And I remember that when we finished shooting the film a man said to me this It'll be really catchy for you to bring around people by seeing you play other tasks, because you have now just played Jesus … people are n’t going to tell the difference and they ’re going to find it hard to see you play a bad gent or a misbehaving task.
I suddenly realized that I'm in a sphere of influence that meant I had to be careful about other choices and tasks I had to make. even so the thing goes further because since the time when the film was published until now, it isn't uncommon to see people hanging my image in their house, bus, store, church, some verily put my pic in their private family stands.
I ask you where you started throwing away my pics , it's idolization to appeal with my pic and it's a sin before God. Attach yourself to God not to my picture, your redeemer is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, my no is Brain Deacon I just played the task of Jesus in this film and I strive to please God myself
Indeed the new generation, some people will say it’s okay if they use my picture to remind you of Jesus, but no you do n’t need my picture to remind you of Jesus Christ the rescuer. So for you who prostrate yourself before my image or before any image believing that it's the Lord Jesus Christ that you're appealing to, please stop because it isn't God you're worshiping but it's is my person or the image of another person and it's a sin.
today's a passage from the bible that can help you understand what I keep saying. once it's God himself who speaks.
Exodus 20-3-5 “ You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself a graven image, nor any likeness whatsoever of the effects which are in the firmament over, which are in the earth below, and which are in the waters below the earth.
You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who despise me.”
If you have any doubts, Please let me know
