Stop worshipping me i'm not Jesus Christ. I am an actor. Robert Powell cries out to Catholics. Must Read.

Since he played the character, Jesus, in the
1977 movie, Jesus of Nazareth, Robert
Powell’s photos are hung in churches,
homes, cars, schools, offices and many holy
grottos all over the world to drive off evil
forces and attract good fortunes.
However, Powell has cried out in the social
media that he is not Jesus and that people
should stop worshiping him. Rather, they
should respect the true Jesus and worship
God. His is among the most trending stories
on social media in January 2016.
In his words: “I never cease to say and I
repeat it to the world since 1977. I am not
Jesus Christ, I am just an actor and British
comedian. I am tired of seeing my photos
displayed in places of worship and other
places for worship. I just make a film for a
living. Burn my picture and worship the
only God in truth ! I am just an actor… Jesus
is Lord!”
Another
actor who
played Jesus
is Jim
Caviezel.
According to
clipd.com,
“Jim is
arguably one
of the most
famous
portrayals of
Jesus in
acting
history. He
played Jesus
in Mel Gibson’s ‘The Passion Of The Christ,’
which is the greatest selling Christian movie
of all time. Jim won one award for his
portrayal as Jesus, and several other
nominations.” He too may soon beg people
to stop worshipping him like Powell.
