In his upcoming biography of Jesus, "Basic Instinct" director Paul Verhoeven will make the shocking claim that Christ probably was the son of Mary and a Roman soldier who raped her during the Jewish uprising in Galilee, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

... claims he and co-biographer Rob van Scheers have written the most realistic portrayal of Jesus ever published.

The book ... states that Christ was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of the 12 original apostles of Jesus, as the New Testament states...

Over the years, Verhoeven, who is Catholic and holds a doctorate in mathematics and physics from the University of Leiden, was a regular attendee of the Jesus Seminar, which was co-founded by the late religion scholar Robert W. Funk. The seminar called into question miracles and statements attributed to Jesus.

"The Jesus Seminar was big in the '80s and somewhat in the '90s," Donohue said. "They have been very controversial in challenging the accepted biblical account of Jesus. The goal is to question the divinity of Christ — to say he was nothing but a happy carpenter who worked at Lowe's or Home Depot."

Perhaps he should give it back.

He seems to have missed the part about one of the two things that define the spirit/attitude of the antichrist. If he does not repent and obey the gospel of Christ, he will pay for this movie before God. Very sad.

1 John 2:18
Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

Satan is still hard at work through the media!!

Never forget the evidence is firmly on our side. If I wrote a book saying Mr. Verhoeven was adopted and his parents were serial killers it would be worthless because I wasn't there. A simple statement from aunts and uncles (Eyewitnesses) would kill my book.

His claim is based on no evidence, whereas the New Testament was written by Jesus' contemporaries; Historical documents written by confirmed historical figures with sufficient knowledge of they're culture, geography, etc.

FWIW: Robert Funk passed away 2 years ago.

Yes, but unfortunately with the Bible, there are so many who WANT it to be untrue, that they will hang on things that would never pass the evidence sniff test in court or in real science.
