‘The Carpenter’ Film, Where Jesus Has an MMA Viking Apprentice, Releases in Three Days
A film about Jesus of Nazareth having a Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) apprentice is set to be released in theaters in three days.
Garrett Batty is the writer, producer, and director of ‘The Carpenter.’ A devout Mormon, he has a small handful of indie films beneath his belt, including The Saratov Approach in 2013, which is perhaps his best ‘known’ film, and Out of Liberty, which is a dramatic telling of LDS founder Joseph Smith’s time in jail before an unruly mob killed him.
On November 1st, his latest film is to be released. Starring Kameron Krebs as Oren and Jeff Dickamore as Jesus, the summary reads:
An adopted Viking orphan becomes a carpenter’s apprentice to Jesus. The orphan, Oren, fights as a side hustle. His experience training as a carpenter with Jesus as his mentor changes his lifestyle.
While the film’s premise might seem like an irreverent atheist wrote it, it is sincere and is not desired to be satiric or mock.
The film has a 5.8/10 review on IMBD, with one reviewer giving it full marks and saying it’s better than ‘Rocky’ and the other taking a more temperate approach:
Anti-Theology, Pro-Heresy
Creating movies like this is exactly why we in the west have made an embarrassment of debauchery when it comes to actually knowing who Jesus is.
Seriously? A fictional movie about a Viking who is adopted as an apprentice? How in the world does the director pitch this to financial backers and it goes through?
Sadly I’m sure the director thinks this is a “God thing” for him, and that he is providing a product that helps man grow closer to God, but in reality this type of project is utter garbage, doomed to lead people astray by teaching them about a Jesus who does not even exist.
If you want to learn who Jesus is, open up your Bible. Plead in prayer to God to reveal him to you. Don’t a watch a ridiculous movie in which 100% of it is fabricated and made up by some fool who thinks he’s being clever. My my, what a terrible idea.
About Author
If nothing else, his history is way off by some 800 years. The Vikings didn’t exist in Jesus’ time. If it is presenting that falsehood, and is not even faithful in that which is least, I’m sure it presents others. Not worth the waste of money or time.
Let’s see how many “Evangelicals” endorse the movie.
Maybe they discovered this in the Greek New Testament using gematria.
This movie has as much biblical credibility as Protestia does.
Spoiler alter: None whatsoever. Laughably so.
