The Bible

I was impressed by the approach. Half documentary, half movie. The acting was surprisingly good compared to most attempts made at depicting Biblical stories. The sacrifice at the alter with Abraham was actually very moving. The tension was built well, even if you knew the outcome beforehand. This had to be done well to make the crucification make sense to someone who doesn't know the Bible at all.

You guys should know that there was only one movie ever produced that is worth watching. :mrgreen: And the fact that Moses became Honorary President of the NRA proves that God is conservative.
 
It's a good show. Focuses more on entertainment than accuracy, and I'm fine with that -- it's the aim of the show anyway. History channel struck gold with this.

The debate that ensued when black Samson stepped in was just delish.:lol: In the words of a Jewish Boston university professor on the matter, it really doesn't matter.
 
They could have just asked President Hollywood if he wanted the part. Old Harvey Weinstein could have swung it. He wouldn't have even had to act, just be himself, the devil incarnate. :shock:

Posting arrant drivel such as the above does nothing for your acceptance as sub human, let alone your credibility
 
My first impression was - where'd all these white dudes with british accents come from and how did they get to ancient Israel?
 
I saw part of it the other day and agree the production values and actions were quite good. It also seemed to follow the King Jame's version quite well.
 
I want to like it, and parts I have as they reminded me of the stories I read in the book. But I can't get past the british accents and the actors. And when will we rid ourselves of this stupid racist notion that Jesus, a jew born of the ME 2,000 years ago - was a white dude?

If you like that particular passage may I offer you a suggested reading? 'Fear and Trembling' by Soren Kierkegaard. THE best commentary on that subject I've ever read...
 
This series is much better than I thought it would be. Lovely account of Jesus tonight.
 
This thing stinks. As an old fuddy dud right winger this appears to be funded by Rush Limbaugh and every Sunnday hair sprayed Baptist nut case in the country. Nothing is profound, new or unique. They could have ran "King of Kings with Jeffery Hunter as Jesus. The production, wardrobe directing and acting is drama class sphomore year in high school. I'll take South Park over this POS evey time.

PS. The devil cannot look like Obama because he is Hillary Clinton with those glasses she wore after her stroke.
 

Exactly. The show denies it but let your own eyes be the judge.

Is this some kind of subliminal effort to get people to relate Satan to Obama? Many of the religious right already do. I have heard some actually tell me he is the "antichrist." LOL!

Aside from the BS content/propaganda effort of the show, I am finding it to be very entertaining.

Well, this fits like a glove. Yesterday I read where Hollywood is in a mad dash to get biblical movies on the big screen in lieu of the succcessof the history channel's "The Bible". I can hear the movie makers production meetings, "Hurry up and get this thing done we can make a bundle off this Jesus guy". I conclude the lust for riches will long outlive the story of Jesus. How sad we are.

I heard the producers say they think Obama is the greatest thing since "Fried Rice" and they even voted for him. How do you explain that?
 
I believe last night part 5 was best of all. Any Christian who did not have a tear in their eye would be hard to believe.
 
There is a brand new movie on the history channel............Its called The Bible. It just started.........If you are a God Fearing person check it out....If your not just ignore this thread

God Bless........

I'm partial to the Charlton Heston era films I grew up with. They were the best renditions of Biblical stories, in my opinion. The Bible (1966) was one of my favorites.
 
My wife and I watched the last and I thought it was extremely well done.

The actor who played Jesus is Portuguese and I wonder how he learned to speak English so well.
 
that was well done (unlike charlton heston's crappy flicks)

the timing is right for a sequel, the koran
