'God's Not Dead' star Kevin Sorbo recently addressed the controversy surrounding his comments regarding the death of Jesus Christ depicted in the Bible.

"Here's the deal. Here's reality. The Jewish leaders offered Jesus up to Pilate, preferring to free a hardened criminal," said Sorbo to The Blaze.

"Did all Jews at that time hate Jesus? Of course they did not. The people screamed to let the hardened criminal go. That's in the book. That's in the facts. After all, [Jesus] was Jewish and... The Jewish leaders and a handful of Jews [gave him up]. It was more like they were accomplices to his murder. They knew he was going to be murdered. There was no question."

The 55-year-old Minnesota native previously made the following comments when he came in defense of Mel Gibson's 'Passion of the Christ' movie after some people claim the Christian film was anti-Semitic.

"Oh, he [Gibson] got attacked when he was shooting 'The Passion,' from the Jewish community, saying, 'Look at the way you're portraying us,'" said Sorbo on the 'Vocal Point' radio show on September 8. "I mean, I go, 'Okay, news bulletin: You did kill Jesus... They did deliver him, so they had a hand in it."

The Christian actor now clarifies that his message was misinterpreted by critics when he did the aforementioned interview with radio host Jerry Newcombe.

"I should have worded it better. We live in such an age where everything is scrutinized," said Sorbo. "Liberals love to project a false image on the wall and get very upset with the image they've created themselves."

Sorbo will star as French theologian John Calvin in his next upcoming titled 'Let the Lion Roar', which slated to be released on September 19.
