"The Bible", History Channel, 8/7 p.m., Sunday, 3/03/2013
I agree that it is well done so far.
The parting of the Red Sea was excellent.
There is alot left out. But how could there not be? I was some what surprised at Moses bringing down the tablets to...40 years later.
Maybe those that have not read the Bible or know the stories will be encouraged to find out the rest of the story. That could be the purpose of the series.
The BS "inhospitality" is not even mentioned or applied. I DVR'd it and watched twice. What exactly are you talking about?
Yeah the HC didn’t portray them as homosexuals but that’s their only fault to that point.
And what was written on the stones is modern Hebrew, which is REALLY Aramaic (the alphabet, that is). Ancient Hebrew would have been used then (around 1400 or so), so they got that wrong.
There are millions of Angels, and only two are mentioned by name: the Angel Gabriel and Michael the archangel. Don’t know who made Michael a saint, maybe RCC.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation 5:11-12 King James Version (KJV)
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. Jude 1:9 (KJV)
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
wasn’t Satan also an angel named Lucifer?
I saw a fat queen in the backgroud of the soddom scenes, so I think they made a subte point.
It was Lot, not Abraham who knew his daughters, honestly Lot was too drunk to know what happen!
32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. Genesis 19:32,36 (KJV)
Innuendo crappla.
Ya got me! I was thinking of the good angels. Lucifer, a fallen angel better known as Satan. It tells the story of a mighty one laid low by their pride and arrogance.
Do you notice how many times he says “I”, kind of reminds you of obama!!!! And verse 15 also gives you Obama’s destination. Amen.
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isaiah 14:12-15 (KJV)
Good grief!
This book is part of the Catholic bible, but not necessarily the Protestant editions.
Sodom and Gomorrah was based off of old Sumerian Tablets.
In fact, a lot of the Bible is just Sumerian stories with the names changed.
That’s why Vatican scholars have agreed that the events in the Bible are not the literal interpretation of what really happned.
It’s still Holy, but it’s not a history book, but more of a spiritual book.
Ninja oriental looking angel.... Does History channel “STEREOTYPE MUCH”?
Why didn’t they just take the Bible as written....the Bible has “special effects’ and a compelling story enough without all the superimposed augmentation!
Lube productions of Abraham for TV was much more honest and realistic when keeping to the real story. The again Richard Harris was awesome as Abraham and the depiction of Sodom’s destruction was much more true to the Bible, including the attempted Homosexual rape of the angels and of Lot’s rescue and escape!
Well Paul does give us warning to “take care lest ye entertain angels unaware”!
Isn't "Clarence" also an angel?
So far, very good prresentation.
I missed the first 45 minutes of it though.
Numbers 14, K.J.B.:
29 Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward which have murmured against me.
30 Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
Thanks for the ping WKB. I can't comment on the television version, as I haven't seen it. If they don't make mention of "ancient astronaut theorists", maybe it will encourage people to read the Bible on their own.
I've heard that it is going to be a 10 hour series, I don't have time to dedicate that much time to the t.v. version, I dedicate more time than that to reading and studying the Bible every week and have for many years.
I also recommend Sunday School, as well as church, it's not just for children. I'm fortunate that I have a knowledgeable teacher, he is 86 years old and one of the most knowledgeable, biblical scholars ,that I've ever met. He's a humble man and probably would deny that but it is my opinion.
