Exactly,and I don't remember Scriptures mentioning Noah's grandchildren. We watched part of it, but hubby kept complaining about the parts that were just wrong, so we stopped watching. I guess it's probably a good tool of evangelism for the un-churched.
Yes, I agree. I’m being critical, I know, but I can’t lose sight of the fact that a major cable network airing a miniseries about the Bible is a VERY good thing.
I hope and pray Jesus was portrayed at least fairly well...
I was complaining about it to my wife as well, and we stopped watching after the first episode. My beef with it was simply this ... God is written out of most scenes. They reduced the Bible from the word of God to a preposterous story with bad casting and bad acting. I felt this would do serious damage to evangelizing to young people because after watching this, they would simply say ... what’s the big deal.
No real creation story (other than Noah telling it)
The ark leaked
Most of God talking to people was inaudible
Nothing about Abram and Melchizedek.
Sarah was not a looker - nothing about being kidnapped 2x.
In this show, Sarah was about 50-55 when she gave Hagar to Abram, still about 50-55 when she had Issac.
The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were not homosexuals, Lot did not offer his daughters.
The ninja angels were just silly.
Ishmael looked to be about 10 when he and Hagar kicked out
Nothing about Issac’s life
No Jacob at all
No 12 tribes, Joseph, Coat, Egypt, saving the people from famine, brothers ending up in Egypt.
Each plague got less than a second of air time.
The future pharaoh figured out Moses killed the guard
Aaron did not speak for Moses
Did not turn the staff to a snake
Pharaoh did not call for the plague that lead to the death of his own son.
Joshua was Moses right hand man before they left Egypt. But no Caleb.
No cloud by day, pillar of fire by night
They did not even digitally image people to show the size of the nation of Israel that left Egypt. You would think it was less than 1000 people.
God apparently could give them dry ground to walk on crossing the Red Sea, but could not keep it from raining cats and dogs and being dark.
