BREAKING NEWS – Los Angeles, California – Adapted from the 2005 best-seller “Christ The Lord: Out of Egypt,” Cyrus Nowrasteh’s “The Young Messiah” imagines the life story of Jesus at 7 years old until he’s 13. But a number of film reviewers have criticized Nowrasteh for not staying true to the Bible. One film reviewer, slammed the movie for its depiction of Jesus, stating “[‘The Young Messiah’] suggests that this confused, questioning prodigy had to be taught that He is God. But were that the case, as it clearly is in the film, the boy would not be God.” Other examples of scenes that contradict the bible include, no scriptural reference to Jesus winning a spelling bee in the 7th grade, healing injured high school football players during halftime when he was only a freshman, and as a teenager, making town drunks in Jerusalem angry by constantly changing their wine into water.
