People are interested in the Bible?

NBC will nip that one in the bud, like right now.

What isn’t clear is what the source material will be for another miniseries … and the title Beyond the Bible gives the impression that it’s going to be a lot less moored in Scripture than its predecessor. The miniseries ended with Jesus’ ascension and the Pentecost, which is the end of the Gospels. What’s next? Acts, of course, and the letters of Paul, but the scope of the production will have to shrink dramatically between source and sequel. Besides, those are actually in the Bible, not “beyond” it. Perhaps it’s a historical miniseries about the spread of Christianity, but based on what source material?

It's predecessor wasn't exactly "moored in Scripture" to begin with.

“This may be largely preaching to the choir, but the choir is increasingly illiterate when it comes to the Bible.”
-- Bob Waliszewski, director of the Plugged In Ministry (Focus on the Family)
As quoted in The Christian Science Monitor

Yay!! a sequel to the Bible series on TV

Booo!! NBC is involved....

I hope the Creators of the Series have signed a contract saying they have FULL creative and Editorial control over the project and if NBC interferes they can walk to another network easily to air it.

While the series was generally a "good thing" and I applaud her and husband for producing it, a couple of notes:

- When Roma Downey decided to eliminate the homosexuality of Sodom and Gomorrah, that was wrong.

- When Roma Downey played Mary in the series, it was utterly cringe worthy.

She had the camera cut to her time, time, and time again during this portion of the series, showing us her weeping and sorrowful Mary character. Her portrayal of Mary eclipsed (at times) that of the actor playing Jesus, and she got almost as much screen time during one portion of that episode.

I am sorry, but the story of Jesus was and is more important than the suffering Mary. There is no other story or hero greater than Christ. You could almost feel her need to be noticed come through your flat TV screen.

predictions ... (my wife laughed these off, now there's a sizeable bet as to who will be correct) ...


Jesus and Peter ... then sometimes Jesus and John ... and then Paul and Timothy ... and then Paul and Timothy ...


will all have their "special relationships" ...


to be shown by NBC as these guys take-off on mysterious 2:00 AM "walks through the garden" together ...


next, Jesus will perform a couple of "sodomite marriages" ...

heal a couple of sodomite-faggots of "aids" ... (before it was invented by the CIA to kill Africans) ...


and finally ... Jesus will father a dozen or more children (as their "baby-daddy") with His extremely-adoring female followers ...




Frankly, I wouldn't trust NBC to accurately broadcast or produce "anything" other than open (verey romantic) sodomite sex between obama and his "body man" reggie love ...

hey ... maybe chrissy "tingle up my leg" matthews could narrate that one ...
