[QUOTE="FGBC19104, post: 35681037, member: 192359"] It is a little disheartening to see that people who have not seen either the live show or the 1970's movie would post opinions with the pretext of it being informed. But that is beside the point... I looked into this. I am definately convinced that JCS is a piece of art that can definately be used to glorify God, and that some of the tracks even do a better job of it than our often over-exulted Christian Contemporary. Also, I believe all the points of concern can be dismissed when one accepts the fact that this play was never ment to be cannonical. At no point should it be taken as more reliable than the Bible... but at no point have I ever seen evidence to imply that people would actually be stupid enough to think that. The first time I saw the production was the live farewell tour featuring Ted Neeley (Jesus from the origional movie.) It painted the Lord in a much higher light than the movie. During the opening instrumental Jesus brought back a believer from the dead, and during the final song he ascended off the cross. There is no doubt in my mind that JCS is not blasphemous, but if you are convicted when you watch/listen, maybe you should avoid it. [/QUOTE]
