“The movie may not be perfect but from what I saw on the Bible series, it’s not bad.”

Why isn't it perfect? It is because the movie was crafted from a New Age viewpoint. Jesus is not portrayed as THE Son of God. Major portions of verses like “I am the Way, the Truth, the Life” (”No man cometh to the Father but through Me” - was omitted).

Christians are to be the head, not the tail. Why do we need to have a New Age Guru present our belief? Jesus told us to Go ye therefore, teach all nations, baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, TEACH THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THINGS that I have commanded you...

America, Wake Up!

Okay, post links that show it is from a new age viewpoint and whomever posted that Roma Downey channeled through Johnathan Edwards should likewise back up the info.

For the record, here are advisers to the movie. I think it was filmed in the Mideast and these hardly look like Hollywood types. It would be good for people making assertions to actually back it up.


Rick Warren (pastor, Saddleback Church)
Erwin McManus (pastor, Mosaic)
Sam Rodriguez (National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference)
Paul Eshleman (Campus Crusade for Christ)
Bobby Gruenewald (YouVersion Bible)
Brad Lomenick (Catalyst)
Leith Anderson (president, National Association of Evangelicals)
Frank Wright (president, National Religious Broadcasters)
Tom Peterson (Catholics Come Home)
Gabe Lyons (founder of the Fermi Project)
Luis Palau (Christian evangelist)
George Wood (General Superintendent of the General Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States of America)
Craig Groeschel (Life Church)
Denny Rydberg (Young Life)
Andrew Benton (president, Pepperdine University)”

And Joel Osteen.

“Another consultant, Focus on the Family President Jim Daly, applauded the couple’s courage for making the series: “Let’s face it, it takes some moxie to lift up the Bible in the middle of Hollywood. In fact, when they first proposed the project they were told to try and tell the story without mentioning Jesus. They refused.”


The assertions about Downey have been made on every thread but until we see backup, that’s all they are. Would like to see it actually backed up with info.

Her so-called “New Age” album looks like nothing less than using some old Celtic poetry and music. I guess that passes for new age nowadays.
