Bruce Marchiano
(born 1956) is an American actor, who starred as Jesus in the 1993 film called,
“The Visual Bible: Matthew.” Here is an interesting interview
of Bruce on 'Full Circle', in which he explains why he wrote his book
titled, “Jesus: The Man Who Loved Women.” In the interview Bruce blames men
for sin more than women...
“I don't want to beat up on the guys. Sorry guys! But, you know, you look at the problems, and 99.9% of it flows from men. You know. Uh, I, I just have to say it, honestly. On a grand scale, when's the last time you saw a woman declare war?”

The truth is that women often sin in different ways than men, but they are just as ungodly and prone to rebellion. Women sin every time they dress immodestly, desiring the wrong kind of attention, causing men to lust (Matthew 5:28). Galatians 2:19:21, “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.” I don't know what news Bruce has been listening to, but I always hear about women sinning and committing crimes as much as men! If you examine the works of the flesh in the passage of Scripture we just read, these are sins applicable to both men and women. Humanity is sinful by both nature and choice!
It bothers me in the preceding FULL CIRCLE interview,
that three of the four woman sitting around Bruce are dressed in tight
pants, looking worldly, and he is claiming that Jesus adores all women,
failing to mention that “God is angry with the wicked every day” (Psalms
7:11). It is true that Jesus loves everybody, and that includes every
woman, but it is also true that God is angry at Christ-rejecting and wicked
women! Bruce simply affirms that Jesus loves everybody, end of story, but if
you are unsaved (or out of God's as a believer), then God is just as angry
at you, as He loves you! Bruce's message is ecumenical, shallow, misleading,
and of the Devil for leaving off the judgment of God. If you listen to the
reprobate ungodly world, whenever anyone dies, they always say their loved
one went to Heaven. That is simply NOT TRUE! If you “die in your sins”
(John 8:24), you go straight to burn in a literal Hell forever!
We Are More Sinful Than We Could Ever Imagine in God's Sight
Most
people are not aware of just how sinful they are in the sight of a holy God.
There is nothing as sinful (and evil) than for a woman to put on a skimpy
pair of panties (called a bikini) and walk around in public, revealing her
nakedness! If I had my way, such women would be whipped! I guarantee you
that women wouldn't remove their clothes like that if I were a king and had
any say! If the Lord puts me in charge of a city or town during the
Millennium (the Bible does say in Revelation 20:6 that we “shall reign
with him a thousand years”), I promise you that women WILL BE harshly
dealt with who reveal their nakedness in public. I would respectfully REFUSE
to help Christ reign, if in my jurisdiction people can openly live in sin
without censure and correction!
I can hear some fool now accusing me of wanting to run a police state! No, but a police state always begins with the moral deterioration of a society. Look at the United States today! We have over one million codes, regulations and laws (and counting) because of the epidemic of sin and evil everywhere nowadays! May I say, morality cannot be legislated! What I mean by that is simply that passing a bunch of laws is counter productive if the Word of God is not taught and instilled in our daily lives. Our county's founding fathers understood this important truth...
“We have not government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —U.S. President John Adams
I cannot stress the absolute importance of our attitude toward standards of clothing, which affect our moral attitude toward other things. A Christian woman who wears a dress is expressing to others her likely type of behavior. When we see a lady in a dress, we don't think—WHORE! But that is what men think when they see a woman in hip-hugging tight pants, or in her colored see-through panties at the beach. I cannot believe the nakedness that I see in public today.
Hawaii is one of the most ungodly places I have ever visited. I was staying at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel in Honolulu, and a middle-aged swinging couple I had met while playing my steel guitar at Waikiki Beach followed me back to the hotel, and then his wife (right in front of her husband) propositioned me to have sex with me in my hotel room. That made me sad, that our country has sunk to that level. Of course, I declined. It's not the hotel's fault; people are people!
The next day, I saw a beautiful young woman at the hotel, standing in front of me at the hotel desk, and I saw her total nakedness. She was wearing white transparent underwear. At least white cotton panties on women are opaque, but she was wearing a paper-thin whitish bikini and I could very clearly see her buttocks and everything in between! I literally turned around and faced the other wall, struggling not to lust. What I just described is one ten billionth of how bad it is today all across the world! I am so sick and tired as a God-fearing Christian of all the wickedness—filthy talk everywhere nowadays, indecent images on the internet, ungodly politicians, cursing in the Lord's name, Hollywood blasphemy against God, shady legal business practices, the lying newsmedia, greedy car rentals and hotels and restaurants, Sodomite perversion, corrupt Bible versions, false doctrines in the churches—in American culture today!
Kindly, I understand what Bruce Marchiano is saying in his interview—that many women who have lived sinful lives of fornication feel like garbage and think God doesn't want them; but at the same time, there are many wicked women who DON'T CARE, and we ought not affirm their vile wicked lifestyle and rebellion against God! When a woman nowadays say she is not presently “IN A RELATIONSHIP,” what what she is really saying is: “I HAVE TEMPORARILY STOPPED MY WHORING AROUND!” Premarital sex (fornication) is the most destructive sin of all to a young Peron's character and future, and Satan fully knows it! Women and girls wearing immodest attire is SYNONYMOUS with premarital sex!!! If you think that is too extreme of an opinion, then you are woefully ignorant or a wicked fool!
Again, I did not write this article to scold Bruce. I think he is a cool actor, sincerely. Who am I to judge? I am just a redeemed sinner like Bruce (I do think he is a Christian), and I have no right to condemn anyone. If you are looking for a big sinner, you found him, me! I thank God for the gift of eternal life, offered through the precious blood of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ! The ONLY goodness that I possess is God's imputed righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ. If it weren't for the precious blood of Jesus, that He shed for my sins, then I would be just as guilty and damned as the vilest criminal on the planet! THANK GOD FOR JESUS CHRIST AND HIS SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS!!!!!!!
I am simply using Bruce's “FULL CIRCLE” interview about book, as an opportunity to uphold THE TRUTH—the truth that all men and women are equally sinful; and also to remind mothers of their incredibly important responsibility to raise their children for God!
Two women were discussing the terrorist attacks in the Middle East. One angry woman said, “I want to kill those terrorists!” The other woman wisely said, “I want to kill THEIR MOTHERS!” I understood right away what she meant—those mothers raised up their sons to be terrorists!!! A child who grows up in a Christian home and is taught God's Word to, “love thy neighbour as thyself,” is far less likely to murder innocent people than a child who is not! Every terrorist has a mother! Every criminal has a mother! I am not laying the responsibility of raising a child more upon a mother's shoulder than a father; but rather, I am criticizing Bruce's claim that men are 99.9% to blame for society's problems...
“I don't want to beat up on the guys. Sorry guys! But, you know, you look at the problems, and 99.9% of it flows from men. You know. Uh, I, I just have to say it, honestly. On a grand scale, when's the last time you saw a woman declare war?”

That is a horrible way to think! Bruce is so wrong! That is like blaming the
Arabs or the Jews for the problems in the Middle East. THEY ARE ALL TO
BLAME! Both Arabs and Jews need the Lord Jesus Christ!!! No man has ever
commit adultery without a woman! I have heard of many sad sinful situations
where a wife cheated on her husband, and ran off with some adulterous bum at
work! I heard about a tragic story. A married woman was cheating with a
fella at work. Her husband found out and murdered her! She is dead! Her
husband has been sentenced to life behind bars in prison! Sickeningly, the
adulterous man at work is completely free to go commit more adultery!
Adultery should be punishable by death!!! Leviticus 20:10, “And the man
that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth
adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall
surely be put to death.” When I say that “morality cannot be
legislated,” I am not saying that we shouldn't have laws, I am saying that
laws by them self won't deter crime and wrongdoing—we must have the
spiritual backbone of faith in God. Faith in God and liberty are
synonymous!!!
Jesus is Against Women Preachers and Sin in the Churches!
Women
don't get any special pass from the Lord, over men. Please consider the
Words of the Lord against women preachers...
Revelation 2:20, “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”
In the preceding Bible verse, Jesus rebukes the woman for self-proclaiming to be a preacher! He also rebukes her for saying that sexual immorality is acceptable in the churches. We see this today in MANY churches, even lesbian pastors. Of course, these are NOT legitimate New Testament churches. Just like a business, God can remove a church's charter (legal right) to exist as a church. As an example: I can open a restaurant in my front yard and call it “Kentucky Fried Chicken.” But is it a legitimate KFC restaurant? Not at all, not unless it is officially approved by KFC headquarters. Likewise, if a so-called “church” is not approved by God, it is a mere social gathering. If the Gospel is not accurately preached, it cannot be a “church.” If the members of the group are not genuine born-again believers, it cannot be a “church.” If the inspired King James Bible is not the authority of the group, it cannot be a “church” because it is based upon corruptible seed. Only God determines who is or isn't a “church”! A 501c3 group is a state-licensed non-profit corporation, not a “church.” Albeit, a church may decide to operate under the umbrella of a 501c3 corporation, but the business itself can NEVER be a “church”!
Albeit, I fully agree with a great quote that Bruce made about manhood...
“You know, at the end of the day, one of the defining factors of manhood is how we handle the women that God has entrusted us to!”

Yes Sir, we need a revival in our churches how we treat women. Having said that, women are forbidden to pastor a church. The Bible commands women to “KEEP SILENCE” in the business of running the churches! Women like Beth Moore and Joyce Meyer are rebels and in trouble with God. 1st Corinthians 14:34, “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” At the same time, women are often mistreated by abusive husbands and men in general, because they are the weaker vessel. 1st Peter 3:7, “Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” I am all for chivalry and protecting women!
I think that is what Bruce is primarily saying, and I agree. It just didn't set right with me when he blamed men for 99.9% of society's problems, which is far from the truth! What is the truth? Men and women are equally sinful. Notice in the following passage of Scripture from the Old Testament, that men and women are equally indicted by the prophet Isaiah for their sins...
Isaiah 1:4-7, “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.”
God called them “CORRUPTERS.” Look at all the corrupt Bible versions being sold to the churches! God said they had gone “BACKWARD”! We are definitely backwards on many things in America. From the sole of their foot to the crown of their head as a nation they were sick! That accurately describes the United States today, a people laden with iniquity!
Lest we think that men are mostly to blame, please consider the Words of the Lord concerning corrupt women preachers...
Revelation 2:20, “Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.”
Proverbs 20:18, “Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.”
Psalms 139:13, “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.”
That title and message is very misleading, because Jesus loved men and women equally. I don't like Bruce's message in his book, because Jesus loved the men He ministered to just as much as the women. In the preceding interview Bruce blames men for 99% of the world's problems (that is the exact percentage that he gives). WHAT NONSENSE! Boy is he kissing up to his female fans!!! He says that men start wars, not women. What? May I remind you that every warmonger was RAISED BY A WOMAN!!! Women raise spoiled brats. Nearly every bloodthirsty man was raised by parents who didn't teach him properly. So don't tell me that men are worse than women.
