>>Not to try and throw cold water on this series, but many articles and reviews have revealed that the series is in no way Biblical in its message. One commentator said something akin to “Did these folks even read the Bible before they wrote the script?”
I’ve been watching it. It gives us the children’s Sunday school version of the OT. But, it only has a nominal 10 hours and commercials steal about 3 of those hours to tell the entire bible. You won’t get a word-for-word telling in that much time.
The real story is that people are watching and maybe a few will be intrigued by the OT stories and stick around for the second half, which will be much better. Since the NT is relatively short compared to the OT, the stories will have a lot more detail.
Exactly. And people who may not have had any idea what the Bible was about in the first place.
It can open up doors of opportunity for witnessing and that's what we need to pray it does.
