The people who made this movie know Christian movies sell. It was hyped to the church, (who jumped at the chance at someone else ‘evangelizing’ for them). They are are laughing all the way to the bank, along with Rick Warren (whose cirriculum is already on its way to supplement their version of the truth)
Haven’t you been reading the posts? They are not what they seem to be. What is disturbing is that church leaders excused the omission of basic tenets of our faith and called it good.

I assume that you HAVE seen the movie. Am I correct?
I also assume that you have watched and listened to those folks who made the movie. It was WHY I chose to see the movie in the first place. THEY convinced me.
And, FOR YOUR INFORMATION: they spoke to what wasn't the best in their efforts!!! If you had HEARD them, you might not have written your post.

Beside, who are YOU to assume that I haven't been reading the posts and making MY OWN DECISION?
You might at LEAST give me the common courtesy to have my own opinion...EVEN if it disagrees with yours. And, I DO disagree with you 100%.

I saw the movie once and I am going to see it again TODAY. I loved the movie and it MOVED me. Get over it.

Whay are you so angry that you are being given information? No one said you couldn’t see it. Roma Downey is a New Ager. Her heroes are Eckhart Tolle and John Roberts, both New Age gurus that are into mysticism. She also used John Edwards to contact her deceased Mother (necromancy). Theses are facts. Hollywood embraces her but blacklists Christians like Kevin Sorbo. The reason is very apparent. It shouldn’t make you angry to be given information.

Totally agree, saw them on Hannity, I’m sure they’ve been on elsewhere. Sure, they’ve made some mistakes in life. I guess a number of us have. Not sure if they are the same way once they started filming the Bible series. Everyone’s conversion is a continuing process.

Anyway, I don’t think there is anything in the movie about anything New Age, Crystals or any of that. It is based on Scripture. The only fault I think people can find with the movie itself is mainly open to interpretation.

And besides, Assemblies of God officer, Joel Osteen, Focus on the Family, apparently all of these people helped them make the Bible series.

This criticism has been here since this weekend, I respect people’s opinions, for and against.
