I suspect the writers and producers have a limited amount of time to go from Genesis to The New Testament. I don't think Sodom was trivialized as such and the writers are trying to make this viewable for family. Parents can explain Sodom.

This movie like many including"Jesus of Nazareth, The Greatest Story Ever Told, The Ten Commandments, and one of my favorites "Gospel Road" will not cover all bases nor can they in time constraints. They also didn't show Lot or Noah getting drunk.

Still it may be perhaps enough to get people thinking. I'd say the best of this series is yet to be seen. A movie I don't expect to be word for word nor exact. For example I don't think Joshua was born when the actual Exodus began or if he was he wasn't of the age of accountability. The generation that rebelled against GOD in the wilderness did not see The Promised Land.

If you want accuracy 100% The bible is the only place and truth comes Spirit Lead. But we also have to remember many of the early converts to Christianity were not saved by someone reading written scripture but rather by word of mouth accounts of witnesses. Scrolls were few and far between. Yet The Word Of GOD in truth will remain intact.

I agree with your remarks, and laud both the production team and the History Channel for daring to make the presentation.

Some people here will probably criticize the New Testament episodes for not using real nails during the Crucifixion scene.

Numbers 14, K.J.B.:

29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.

30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.

Thanks for the ping WKB. I can't comment on the television version, as I haven't seen it. If they don't make mention of "ancient astronaut theorists", maybe it will encourage people to read the Bible on their own.

I've heard that it is going to be a 10 hour series, I don't have time to dedicate that much time to the t.v. version, I dedicate more time than that to reading and studying the Bible every week and have for many years.

I also recommend Sunday School, as well as church, it's not just for children. I'm fortunate that I have a knowledgeable teacher, he is 86 years old and one of the most knowledgeable, biblical scholars ,that I've ever met. He's a humble man and probably would deny that but it is my opinion.
