Summary

Cynthia Erivo, a queer woman, just starred as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Culture is calling it powerful and revolutionary. I’m calling it what it is: blasphemy. In this video, I break down the dangerous theology of Jesus Christ Superstar, why Hollywood loves to rewrite Jesus, and how feminism, queer ideology, and progressive theology have hijacked the gospel for their own agenda. This isn’t about race or sexuality… it’s about truth. God will not be mocked. Jesus is not a character. He is the risen King, and He’s coming back. - Follow me on Instagram: @AngelamarieScafidi - Ways to Support the Show: 🤝Monthly Partner: https://donorbox.org/heaven-healing-podcast-ministry 💜 Stripe: https://buy.stripe.com/eVafZjfnI1cD2sg8ww 💸 Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/angelamariescafidi 💲CashApp: https://cash.app/$AngelamarieScafidi 💶 Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/angelaucci #christianpodcast #popculture #CurrentEvents #Broadway #CounterCulture #JesusChristSuperstar #JesusChrist #Scripture #Demonic

0:28.6	And of course, secular headlines and proud liberal girlies on TikTok are just eating it up,
0:36.6	you know, calling it revolutionary, iconic, stunning,
0:39.8	brave, powerful, all the adjectives. And, you know, giving it just this praise and really delighted
0:48.3	even that Christians, such as myself, are, quote, having a meltdown over it. And you know, it's always so interesting
0:56.3	to me how all these atheists are constantly spending so much time and so much energy,

1:11.6	Let me just start.
1:12.6	I want to show you just a couple really brief clips from this rendition that culture is applauding
1:19.6	in favor of the golden calf that we'll call progressivism.
