As a Bible thumper, I have watched this series. For me, I thought they left out a LOT of scripture.

Then I started to think......I know the story behind Sodom and Gomorrah...but there are probably many who do not (lots of details left out).

Perhaps, in order to find out, they actually picked up their Bibles to find out.

Nothing wrong with planting a seed. If more people picked up their Bibles and started reading, studying and adhering to His teachings, the better off we will all be.

Well, they only had 10 hours, so they had to condense it.

I agree completely with your comment.

As far as leaving some things (Sodom, golden calf) out ... they are trying to make it appropriate for families to watch together and they seem to be using the most riveting stories in order to do it.

They'd find out Moses wasn't Scottish. I lasted an hour into the first episode.

NoGrayZone: Well said. This series is to plant seeds. And we must remember the parable of the sower and the seeds and not forsake that mission with the position: We shall make no attempt to sow seeds unless the ground is perfect for them to grow. And in every bag of seeds there is some chaff (I grew up farming and know this, although the little packets for one’s garden has no ‘chaff’.
