Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly, who is writing an upcoming book titled “Killing Jesus,” proclaimed on his program Wednesday night that “a lot of the Bible is allegorical,” and the New Testament Gospels contradict themselves.

O’Reilly made the remarks during an interview with “Touched by an Angel” star Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett, executive producers of “The Bible” TV miniseries which begins this Sunday night on the History Channel.

Downey, who portrays Jesus’ mother Mary in the series, opened the interview by declaring her solid faith in Holy Scripture.

“Bringing the Bible to the screen came with a huge responsibility and one we took very seriously,” Downey said. “We had a great team of scholars and theologians helping us, making sure that we told these stories accurately and truthfully. I’ve been a believer my whole life, and that was very, very important to us. Something else that we wanted to do was to make it really, really cool. You know, we have teenagers at home and [it's] hard to get them to read anything, and one of the goals here was to get this generation interested and excited about Scripture, and I think we’ve been able to achieve that.”...........

You nailed it! I stopped watching his show YEARS ago for exactly those reasons.

The bible, for me, is a very real proof of the existence of God. It’s existence in our world is like finding a smart phone embedded in a million year old archeological dig, locked deep in the rib cage of a dinosaur skeleton. Nothing else even comes close.

I agree. I've heard it said that men could not have written the Bible even if they wanted to and wouldn't have even if they could.

Spoken by an idiot who does not know the Bible or what it says. 99.99999999% of the idiots who claim these things about the Bible have not even opened it, studied it, etc. Okay, enough rant, I am off for my NIGHTLY Bible study.

"There are so many layers of meaning behind every single verse that I entertain the idea that, given an eternity to read and study it, one could find the entire mind of God in a single verse."

I couldn't agree more!

I don't think it a stretch to say that the Bible is a bonifide extra-terrestrial artefact and the reason so many seem to need something 'extra' is that they seem not to grasp what it is they hold in their hands.

"Again, I exagerate..."

I really do wonder if that's even possible.

Of course. My goodness you guys are Catholic bashers. I want my children to get to Heaven. The alter boys are not by themselves with the Priest anymore. And how do you know that 1/2 the priests are gay? What a crock!!! I am SURE that they all said they were or 1/2 of them like you spew.

What do you mean, I spew??? This comes from one of your own, a born again(?), God appointed member of your clergy...
