The Bible on History Channel

Brenda, We're in awe of anyone today without tv. Good job.

Bill, Kudos you are almost up to Brenda's level.

Karl, I agree and don't understand why they have to Hollywood them up at all. The scene of angels acting like Ninja warriors was a bit hard to swallow. From what I understand of warrior angels is that they are usually 12 tall or better and scare the crap out of the most brave just by showing up. There are so many reports by soldiers fighting in Israel, and from both sides, of seeing these manifestations in the heat of battle that just makes people run from the sight of them.

Steven, You would think that it wouldn't be hard to follow the scriptures, but keep in mind, the people who wrote it have probably never cracked a Bible. The casting of Samson as a black man was interesting and I can't find anything in the scriptures that would say different so who can say. Most likely he was more light skinned like all the other Hebrews since he was a Danite.  Rahab ties the scarlet cloth to their door in a Passover type explanation when it was clearly hung from the window which the spies escaped... and there were many more discrepancies. Nonetheless, many are being exposed to the ancient truth.

Than, I'm sure you'll have plenty opportunity to catch up as this will be sold on DVD starting in April... and it will run and run again lots I'm sure.

Karl, Awfully hard to imagine those people... oddly all men, would get the scriptures wrong. But either they did, or my Bibles, of various interpretations are bogus. It reminds me of Band of Brothers and how meticulous they were about being accurate but when you talked with Dick Winters, who the writers constantly consulted, they got a lot of details wrong... and usually for dramatic effect. (Dick was a long time friend of our family) I'm pretty sure they had no idea how all the details would be portrayed is my guess. I'm not a theologian but I read the Bible every single day, it has become part of me and each time I see an inaccuracy, such as a brunette David being consulted out in the field instead of a ruddy David brought in from the field to meet Samuel the prophet inside with his other brothers and father... I know it instantly. No interpretation I'm aware of left out the fact that David was a red head, a most unusual and uncommon trait in those days. But regardless... many are hearing the Word preached once again. I would like to challenge you to watch and then research the text for yourself and you decide.
