I haven't seen the movie, but anything connected with Joel Osteen is going to be heretical and misleading. Osteen is the sort of person about whom the Scriptures warn against.

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD was a terrible telling of the Gospel and even left out key words that changed the meaning of the message.

The same problem I have grown to expect in most Biblical movies. Christ in film was best rendered by some of the early Biblical epics that did not show him full face. In BARABBAS with Anthony Quinn we see Jesus from the perspective of the pardoned criminal who fails to see him clearly. In BEN HUR Jesus is seen obliquely. In one powerful scene the audience does not see the face of Jesus but we see a strong reaction to the power of his countenance in the face of a Roman soldier.
