Jesus, The Spirit of God: UPDATE 1

Remember Jesus, The Spirit of God, the Islamic Jesus movie out of Iran?  Well, ABC News has a story on it that has an interesting tidbit I haven't seen elsewhere.  Apparently the film has two endings, one that follows the Koran's account of Jesus, and another that follows the Bible's.  

This makes the film much more interesting, and I want to see it even more.  I think it is a fascinating thing to see a non-Christian film about the life of Christ, and I'd like to see how it compares to the Gospel accounts.  The multiple endings truly fascinate me.

Jesus, the Spirit of God

Here's a film that a lot of other websites are already up in arms about.

Jesus, The Spirit of God, is an Iranian film about the Islamic version of the life of Christ. Partly funded by Iranian State Broadcasting, the film follows the Gospels for the most part, the divergers when, as recounted in the Koran, (SPOILER WARNING) God saves Jesus from the Cross and He ascends straight to Heaven.

I just listened to a podcast the other day discussing the Islamic view of Jesus. The theory on the podcast was that Muhammed was familiar only with the Gnostic Gospels that were popular in Arabia at the time. This would explain the way that Muhammed felt the Jesus could be integrated with the Koran.

A lot of people are upset about this film, and I can't say that I'm happy with it's theology, but it does raise an interesting point.

How do you think Jewish people feel when there are Christian movies made about Moses, Abraham and David?
