I knew it was going to go bad when the Magi visited Bethlehem. They didn’t; they went to Nazareth where Joseph and Mary lived. It portrayed Mary Magdalene as a reformed prostitute; not a shred of Biblical evidence to support that. It even misquoted Jesus about the Golden Rule, turning it completely bass ackwards. Makes one wonder, despite O’Reilly’s boast of how much research he and Dugard did, whether they did any at all.
For some reason, their own imaginations about how it might have happened carried more weight than the well documented eye witness accounts of several different people on the seen at the time. I have no explanation for this - but the thing I found the most disturbing was that I didn’t even like the “Jesus” as portrayed in this film. He was a very dark character, not at all appealing. Certainly no one I would give my life for. Very sad . . .
I just posted inaccuracies in the Movie not in the book. This is another. The Bible does not mention where the Magi found Jesus but it is inferred not in Bethlehem. Herod executed young boys in Bethlehem and the area because of prophesy. B
