“SO- I am not going to watch. As long as people understand that this is entertainment and NOT the word of God...”
Little House on the Prarie; The Walton’s; Touched by an Angel - none were “The Word of God” - but they portrayed eternal Chrsitian values in a good light - not mockigly.
Any time we can introduce the unchurched to the Word of God (as long as it’s not heretical or blasphemous) - it is a good thing.
Is it a serious Bible study? No - that is for those of us who have moved on past the “milk” and onto solid foods. Some of them may be there someday too.
We should be praying for this series - its producers - and for the hearts of those that may tune in - that the unchurched being reached in this way may come to know Jesus as their personal Savior also.
Since the majority of Un-Churched are the YOUTH of today and they are hooked on Computers and Television..PRAISE GOD that Roma Downey and Mark Burnett are bringing this BIBLE series to the TV screen..
Many people were transformed by the Passion of the Christ movie and I believe this might have the same impact....
I hope everyone will watch, and I encourage everyone to watch...
