The hunger is there.
This is why we are CONVINCED that the “Patriot’s History Television” series will work, and work well. Go to www.rockinthewallstudios.com under “Projects: In Development” for the trailer. (Have a hankie ready)
I would normally have stayed at my friend’s house to drink some wine but instead I rushed home to watch the Bible. Didn’t want to miss it.
My only issue with it is the flat out errors in the dramatization, some of which really change the meaning of the story.
For example, the “cast the first stone” story was show last night. In the Biblical account Jesus crouches down and starts writing in the sand and then says “he who is without sin can cast the first stone.” No one knows what he wrote in the sand, but there has been speculation that it may have been the names of the men in the mob who had slept with her.
In the version last night, Jesus rears back to toss then stone, thinks better of it, drops it, and then delivers the line. Brings a whole different meaning to the story.
They had a marathon on yesterday, and I flipped to it around 4:00. By 9:00, I had the Missus thoroughly involved and to the point of tears at some points.
This is good TV right here!
We’re watching it now. LOVE the scene with Matthew at the Temple. Made tears well up in my eyes.
I remember when Bill Maher made the mistake of inviting Charlton Heston onto his show. All four other guests were leftist liberals, full of themselves and blathering on and on about nothing, while Heston just sat there, quietly.
Finally, after realizing that Heston had said nothing so far, halfway through the show, Maher sneeringly suggested that Heston talk about gun control, not as Heston, “But as Moses would have done it.”
And that is exactly what Heston did. Wow.
Standing up, with a booming stage voice, Heston did an improv that would knock your socks off. Other than his voice, you could have heard a pin drop in the audience, or among the other panelists. It was riveting.
Finally he finished and sat down. Dead silence, for at least 10 seconds, before Maher snapped out of it, and said something unimportant to break the spell.
The rest of the show was just the others exchanging some very mild pleasantries, obviously rattled down to their shoes, and totally, absolutely intimidated by Heston.
If anyone in that audience was religious, I bet they suddenly decided that they had better go to church more.
Did anyone else notice Satan had a return appearance last night?
And did anyone else also notice the Prince of Darkness still looked like our pResident? Still just a coincidence, I’m sure.
some reports estimate that 50million people have watched at least part of one episode.
That makes sense since the country is split down the middle politically. around 115 million vote and 1/2 vote Republican so this makes sense to me. But keep in mind, NCIS gets 20 million viewers a week. The Bible received 13 million its first week and has NEVER been able to repeat those numbers at all.
I’ve started watching the show. I’ve recorded them but haven’t watched them until now. The show is ok, kind of a quick skim of the Bible.
I just hope more Christian shows will come forward now and help spread the message and give people alternatives to all the vile garbage that’s on TV.
I love them. I have some minor criticisms, like last night when Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him before dawn, instead of before the cock crows 3 times. I don’t know why they had to change the verbage on that. But I’m tickled that its ratings are doing so well.
