What a surprise! Godless
Norway that is usually only famous for its obsession with everything
haddock and cod has produced a feature film that will bring unexpected masses unto the very bosom of
Jesus! This film is called "
Vidar the Vampire" and despite its
somewhat controversial content, it is targeted at the demographics that
need Jesus the most. The story revolves around a false Christian 33-year-old man who looks for meaning of life in a big city. Standard coming-of-age stuff, but with a Godly twist!
Quote:
After 33 years spent as a local loser living with his devoutly religious mother, rural farmer Vidar Harr prays to God that he might finally receive sexual satisfaction from flesh, instead of from the pages of Playboy. Vidar can hardly believe his eyes when his plea is actually answered, with Jesus Christ himself seemingly appearing while bathed in bright light inside the family barn.
Unexpectedly, Jesus is a vampire. More unexpectedly, Jesus compels Vidar to receive the body of Christ in a manner that involves swallowing something other than Holy Communion.

This may seem
blasphemous at first glance, but we must remember that the filmmakers are
desperately trying to reach today's youth and captivate their attention to bring them
Home to Heaven.
So,
Jesus is a
vampire. Vampires are all about
blood. The protagonist receives Jesus (and the
blood) through the bodily penetration of
Jesus. Let us revise what we know about these things based on the
Bible:
John 6:54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
We can see how the
blood that vampires consume is actually His
blood.
Glory! What about the act of
penetration?
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Jesus Christ is within. Not Spiritually this time but bodily. Unexpected and seemingly lewd? Obviously!
Blasphemous? Maybe, but not
irrevocably blasphemous. The
pre-Salvation sinner will not lose anything by ostracizing
Jesus as he is already lost (James 2:10)!
Luke 12:10
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Thus,
not irrevocable. Summary:
Blaspheming against Jesus can be forgiven if that person Repents and chooses
Jesus. Can this film do that? It can! Who are among the
target audience?
- All the youths and maidens who devour the vampire romances of Harry Potter and Twilight.
- All the sodomite boys who swarm the Earth's Disk!
- I.e., 99% of the population under the age of 25.
All these young people
only understand the languages of Gothic Romance and Bromance. They
will see this film. They
are going to watch
Jesus violate the protagonist's chastity and through His
blood comes the wonderful transformation of becoming permanently one among the Disciples. The
vampire is a metaphor for that.
Glory!
I am praying that one day I'll have the time and opportunity to actually
watch this film. Incidentally, another interesting feature has been released within this same genre that talks
directly about the necessity of
Repentance to young people and it is called "
Dracula in a Women's Prison". I'd like to see that, too. Let us hope and pray that our local celestial cable network and our
Pastors will soon purchase these pinnacles of thespian quality to be distributed among all
True Christian™ households.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
