Filming is scheduled to begin in September on Christ The Lord, a movie based on Anne Rice’s book Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt. The christ of Rice’s books is not the Christ of Scripture. Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt “depicts Jesus as a seven-year-old boy who gets the things he wishes for, like the death of another young boy who annoys him.” In the sequel, Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana, Jesus falls in love with a beautiful woman and “struggles with a sense of restlessness of purpose.” Rice, best-selling author of erotic and vampire/witchcraft novels, turned from atheism to the Catholic Church in 1998. In 2010, Rice said that she had quit “being Christian.” Claiming to love Christ but not Christianity, she said that she refuses to be anti-gay, anti-feminist, anti-secular humanism, and anti-science, among other things. What Rice apparently doesn't know is that her beliefs and her christ would be acceptable in churches that worship The Shack god. In October 2008, Rice was interviewed on James Dobson’s Focus on the Family program in conjunction with the publication of her autobiography Called Out of Darkness. Dobson gave her a warm, non-judgmental reception, presenting her to his audience as a genuine Christian, no questions asked, even though she had clearly presented a false christ in her books and has no biblical testimony of salvation. In the strongest way possible, we would urge our readers to beware of the compromise of modern evangelicalism in general and of Focus on the Family in particular.
