Maybe they will do an "Ancient Aliens" Version of the bible, where the Ark is an "Alien Seed ship with DNA samples" and the Red Sea Crossing was caused by UFOs....
This is the "History" channel...

Some forget Abraham had several sons later after Sarah's death through another legitimate marriage besides Isaac. But The Bible as well as the movie did say Isaac would be the one through which GOD's Covenant would be fullfilled through Sarah. Abraham went on after Isaac and had several more sons. Genesis 25 explains
1Now Abraham married again. Keturah was his new wife, 2and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3Jokshan’s two sons were Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s descendants were the Asshurites, Letushites, and Leummites. 4Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. These were all descendants of Abraham through Keturah. 5Abraham left everything he owned to his son Isaac. 6But before he died, he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them off to the east, away from Isaac. 7Abraham lived for 175 years, 8and he died at a ripe old age, joining his ancestors in death. 9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. 10This was the field Abraham had purchased from the Hittites, where he had buried his wife Sarah. 11After Abraham’s death, God poured out rich blessings on Isaac, who settled near Beer-lahairoi in the Negev.
Some people here will probably criticize the New Testament episodes for not using real nails during the Crucifixion scene.
I’m taping this and will watch it tomorrow; it’s on, but I’ve been distracted with work and other obligations.
All I know (as a huge “Touched by an Angel” fan) is Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett are faithful Christians, and given that they are involved, I think it will be excellent.
They can’t fit in everything in the Bible into a mini-series. I think it will be inspiring and quite moving.
Just as Mel Gibson’s movie was. When I saw it, I cried—and met elderly people who had seen it over and over. I bought it and watch it every Easter season. My son (17) is probably old enough to watch it, though I would never have my 13 year-old daughter do so.
It seems no one can make anything religious-oriented without being criticized.

LOL that made me laugh, was really out of place.
NO doubt angels in the Bible are warriors, but this was a ninja angel, lol
I thought it was generally Okay. I noticed that the stone tablets are shown, but what is written on them isn’t stated.
LOL, that's what my husband said...
Right. People forget that the name “Arab” is a kind of broadbrush term to cover desert people who appeared on the scene centuries afterwards.
Right. The lessons in Sunday school don’t tell this story.
People, this is not meant to be The Bible.
It is an Introduction of the The Bible and some of its stories.
All of the crap we see on television...we get an 5 show 10 hour special and all we do is complain.
There will be souls that are touched with this show and they will read the Bible and by God’s Grace, convert and change their life due to Jesus.
It’s an Introduction in 10 hours. Be reasonable.
My DVR says it has 6 repeats on either History or Lifetime over the next week.

I agree... overall my husband and I liked it. I hope it touches lots of young people, and gets them interested to learn more...
I couldn’t stay interested. All of the actors over-acted.
And there was simply two much stuff left out. For instance, didn’t Abraham “know” his two daughters? He was drunk, but still.....
That was Lot, IIRC. HTH.

Thanks for the correction. Sarah was Abraham’s half sister.
Lot was not aware that he was “sleeping” with his daughters. Did he know he was the father of his grandsons?
Actually, I find VeggieTales more accurate & entertaining.
Yeah, the KJV of the Bible got sodomy wrong. The homosexual revisionists got it right since 1973. /s
It is an extremely well done production. Very professional and excellent scenery although they are skipping a bunch, there is on way to cover it all.
Pray for America
