Yes, because the first twenty or thirty articles weren't enough. As with any subject, it can suffer overexposure, and the complaints are all too predictable. Is the movie inaccurate? Sure. But it would be enough to say,

Noah is scriputurally inaccurate.

As long as people keep complaining, I'll keep responding in kind.

We figure that it will be at least $20 and more like $50m.

I'm lucky to make pics that cost under $500,000

It is the most effective propaganda ever created, what kind of thinking person could see movies as having no importance, or effect?

No, it hasn’t been done.

Here is post 65 “I’d like to see Hollywood do a movie about the life (and times) of Mohammed, with someone actually portraying Mohammed, and not just his words and voice.”

[savage woman]

Just saw it. Wonderful movie. Sorry I got the
title wrong s/b “GOD’S NOT DEAD”.

[Spok]

Hollywood has never, ever been the source of good history. Why do we still act surprised?

[Elsie]

Now need for a movie about that.

The sequel will be appearing in the media quite soon; it appears...

[Elsie]

But a HUGE worldwide religious organization claims that only THEY can tell you want the book ‘really’ means.

You know; like the movie reviewers do...

[Elsie]

...only THEY can tell you want the book 'really' means.

Yes; there ARE myriad other smaller organizations that make the same claim.

So many choices in today's market place...

For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers ...

“Lot, leader of the Hebrews, believes his people can co-exist with the Sodomites, a disastrous decision.”

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Also, the fairy tale/fable "Noah" makes HEROES out of the Nephilim, the Giant offspring of fallen angels and women that Genesis 6:1-4 speaks of.

Not quite.

The BOOK does NOT make that claim.

Genesis 6:1-8

1 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, ² the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. ³ Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

⁴ The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

⁵ The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. ⁶ The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

It does NOT say the GIANTs  mated with the Humans; it merely says they were on the earth.

So; just WHO are the sons of God and the daughters of humans???

 

The BOOK says: Let Us create Man in Our image.   So there you get some 'sons of God'; right??

The BOOK also says, in Genesis 5:3-4

 When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. ⁴ After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

 

These things happened BEFORE Genesis chapter 6....

Noah is scriputurally inaccurate.

Thus an opportunity for a great teaching moment!!

Post 94 was intended for you, but he doesn’t like to post to the people who he is trying to educate or disagree with.

[Future Snake Eater]

A bunch of strawman, simpleton nonsense. Hollywood producers, directors, and actors could very easily make excellent, accurate Biblical films, and they’d make a killing doing it, but their ideology won’t allow them to commit their talent or their resources, nor will it allow them to make the resources available to those who would.

[hosepipe]

Why not a movie about MAO and Stalin being the murderous mouth breathers they ACTUALLY were..

And/Or a movie about Barry Half-White being the mental drooling liar he really IS.....

Or the Hildebeast being the Witch she actually IS...

[piroque]

From what I’ve been reading here on all these threads , The book is still the best. Place to get the correct story .
