To my fellow Christians, the Monty Python's Life of Brian Movie is not mocking our Christian Faith, here is why
- 1. Brian in the movie, never claims to be the messiah or Jesus.
- 2. At the time the movie was set, there were lots of people claiming to be the Messiah, that is why this verse in the Bible, Matthew 11-1-3, is so important and it is something, to think about when we look at The Monty Python's Life of Brian Movie, John the Baptist said “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” this implies, that there were multiple people claiming to be the Messiah at the time or why would John (The Baptist) ask that question, as I have already said Brian Never claims to be the Messiah or Jesus, the crowd in the movie, only mistake him to be. (Matthew 11-1-3 - After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. When John (The Baptist), who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples, to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?”)
- 3. Jesus does appear in the Movie, but the movie is not mocking him or about him, it only backs up the point that the crowd mistake him for the messiah or Jesus
Below is an interesting Interview/discussion about the Monty Python's Life of Brian Movie
Conclusion
Some Christians have had a Knee Jerk reaction, to the movie without really watching it or understanding it
