But what is this "creeping hand" movie?
Some real snoozer from the 30s or 40s. Can't think of a list of search terms that would get under 20,000 hits.

I think you mean The Beast with Five Fingers.

I still don't think Jesus was confused about the first two people He created. I also think He would have cleared up that geneological mess in the Old Testament if He felt there was one.

Well it would have been nice if he could have at least got his geneologies to match each other instead of leaving another of many condradictions in the bible

You have it!

Been decades at least since I saw it, but I was never afraid of the silly hand, which may or may not have just been a Fig Newton of somebody's imagination. (I forget.)

One of the more forgettable outings of Hollywood's horror-flick assembly line of that era.

I thought he meant this one:

The Crawling Hand!

Or this one:

The Creeping Eye!

There was no "before" the Big Bang, as time did not exist.

Or maybe this classic:

The horror of ...

From the review of "Crawling Hand, The (1963):"

Finally he throws it in the trash and cats eat it. The end.

Seldom see a movie ended like that.

Some real snoozer from the 30s or 40s.

Uh.. OK, thought it was someting more recent. However, I'm pretty sure they recycled that idea in the 60's or 70's.

Don't you understand? This is one of those cases wherein the Bible can't be taken literally, but only figuratively -- a bit like the obvious contradictions in Genesis 1 and 2 that any third grader could pick out, but which do not exist according to creationists because we are not interpreting Scripture correctly (only they can interpret it correctly, you see). Of course, we'll be called anti-Christian, or idiots for pointing this out, and maybe some of the more helpful souls will point us to an obscure 18th century theologian who does a much more intricate dance around the issue, but the fact remains that the plain words of the Bible are contradictory.

Now, I knowse I'm gonna get flamed, but it had to be said.

Oy vey! More "Evil limb"- movies ;)

Could be the Creeping Flesh from 1972.

If God inspires you to interpret the Bible one way, and He inspires someone else to interpret it differently, are you both right?

I have to say, interpreting a foreign language using a dictionary is almost universally acknowledged to be fraught with peril. The rule of thumb in translations is to translate from your strong language to your weak one. In other words, the appropriate person to translate Greek into English would be someone whose native tongue is Greek.

Then there's the Oliver Stone / Michael Caine The Hand from 1981. Vaguely recall that one from the time.

[js1138]

The creeping hand's gonna get you.

[whattajoke]

haha, Junior: If, at anytime in the future you'd rather me put my name on the more blasphemous posts, I'll be happy to help you out. At least then I won't have to endure the anti catholic or "you're not a real christian" stuff you do. I'll just get the "dumb atheist" stuff. I can deal with that just fine.

[Aric2000]

Not a REAL christian placemarker.

By the way, what is a REAL Christian.

Well, if you believe how they believe, then you are a real christian, but if you don't, YOU ARE AN ATHEIST!! ....

At least they are consistent....;)

Also, IIRC there is a passage in Matthew which states that you can divorce in case of marital unfaithfulness but the same passage in Mark makes no exceptions, so if you divorce and marry someone else you commit adultery.
