They reached millions of viewers in an entertainment world where much is unfit for family viewing. In that respect they did tell the story of Sodom to where adults who paid attention understood the sin but at the same time for any kids watching it would not require going into the facts of life. A delicate balance they seemed to have met.
I've watched each part so far at least twice and each time I pick up on more and more. The temptation by Satan in the wilderness was very realistic. No mortal human without GOD's hand would survive more than a few days under the terms Christ did. They do indeed send a message especially at Satan's last attempt where Christ see's Satan's throne offered to Him or wear the Crown Of Thorns He must face soon for our sins.
The see the movie and if the viewer is willing and The Holy Spirit leads them they'll learn the missing pieces all in good time. The two principle ones who decided to make the movie to start with could have made far more money in secular entertainment with far less vested time and work.
I’m always amazed by the predictability of those clamoring for something wholesome on TV to have it given them in spades and then to badmouth the good because it wasn’t the perfect.
Here they have the bible, and I guess they’re encouraging folks to watch “Chainsaw Massacre Part 666” instead because Salome didn’t dance and because Daniel was in the reviewing stand.
It’s madness.
