There is a reason they call it the "History/Hitler" Channel.

So far in the book of Genesis ...

1. No mention of Ishamel being a wild ass of a man raising his hand against all other nations (a kotow to Islam).

2. The story of Lot, Sodom, and the 2 angels. It was presented from the revisionist homosexualist perspective, i.e., the sin of Sodom was inhospitality, not homosexual sex with the 2 angels.

Will watch some more, but certainly looks like the producers chose to take their script from The Queen James Bible, 2012.

Since this was the History Channel i was half expecting this:

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...

I understand you can't tell everything in ten hours, but at least make what you do show accurate. That's not asking too much.

Actually, I find VeggieTales more accurate & entertaining.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Yeah, the KJV of the Bible got sodomy wrong. The homosexual revisionists got it right since 1973. /s

[Clint N. Suhks]

It was presented from the revisionist homosexualist perspective, i.e., the sin of Sodom was inhospitality

The BS "inhospitality" is not even mentioned or applied. I DVR'd it and watched twice. What exactly are you talking about?

[Clint N. Suhks]

Yeah the HC didn’t portray them as homosexuals but that’s their only fault to that point.

[rumandmonkey]

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.

So far, very good prresentation.

[Biggirl]

I missed the first 45 minutes of it though.

[arderkrag]

People still watch this channel? It hasn’t been good since “Tales of the gun” stopped being produced.

[count-your-change]

Sword swinging, bloodied angels of Sodom? Moses as a half nuts street person? The whole production was sad.

[zerosix]

I am somewhat impressed at the production, for its scenic and technical values but unimpressed at its failure to inform the uninformed.

For that reason (failure to "tell the story of God and His people" to those who have never opened the Bible), and skimming over very important parts such as why God told Abraham to cast Haggar and Ishmael out of the land, the story of Jacob's name change and very importantly, the story of Joseph, give it a D grade, maybe.

As my husband said a few times, if you didn't know what actually happened, you wouldn't know what happened by watching the show.

On an actual historical level, I'd give it a. F!

The show skimmed over many very important facts and clouded the ones it purported to depict, i.e. Sodom and Gomorrah! My husband asked me, "who were those two guys going into Sodom," and "who was the guy talking to Abraham" as he watched the destruction from a distance.

I'd have been shocked and amazed had the show actually depicted the real reason for Sodom's destruction.

Neither the producers nor Hollywierd would have been prepared to have it go forward, mostly because they don't believe it themselves!

If they have actually read it and know the truth, they would have blotted it out simply because they don't wish to admit the truth (a greater sin in God's eyes)!

Things I learned so far watching "The Bible":

1. No gays lived in Sodom.

2. Moses was a metrosexual Persian looking young man with eye shadow and highlighted eyebrows who grew into a straight, slightly crazed, old man of European ethnic background.

3. The Cecil B. DeMille version of the parting of the Red Sea is THE authoritative version.

4. No lambs were harmed in the making of the making of this series or PETA will throw a fit.

Part 2 is underway!
