"According to the Old Testament, angels merely struck the citizens of Sodom with blindness before God firebombed the entire city. The TV series did include those elements as well. The show, however, did not mention the rampant homosexuality in Sodom, or that the city's men actually sought to have sex with the angels. (Genesis 19:5)"

Yes it did but some were too bust nit picking to catch it. It even showed a man embracing a sheep in his arms. The scene is BEFORE the angels get there and is in the darkness which is where sin thrives. Lot was tested. Some questioned why angels would ask for Lot's help. They could not even grasp that even though The Lord told Abraham the people would be tested. Only Lot helped the angels which is Biblically correct.

This nit picking gets worse. Moses a man who for years was a shepherd in Saudi Arabia's mountains is accused of being a Manson look alike by some of our enlightened who just had to find something, anything wrong. What would they expect? Moses in a suit and tie? Now others have turned it into an Obama look alike fest over a man who has played characters in several Biblical based films because some say the character of Satan looks like Obama. That has become the center focus instead of the movie message. That picture ends up on just about any religuos thread right now. Some feel it needs posted several times. This movie was being made BEFORE Obama was even elected. Others were in a fit because The Lords clothing was dirty. This was Israel 2000 years ago. Dust was everywhere. But it was something to nit pick about. Yippie.

Personally I think they've done a great job with this movie and week three was really great. Yes there were persons of many colors and many races in The Bible including the man Phillip preached too and the man who carrier The Lord's Cross. I certainly have not seen even one scenes even remotely blasphemous but I'm certain some of our legalistic Pharisees in here will.

The movie was written to get persons to think about GOD and their salvation. But some want it to be a theological boondoggle so complex no one could watch it. IF Joel Osteen was an adviser he was likely one of many. I suppose if Billy Graham and The Pope had been advisors also Oh we would have 100 threads hashing that issue out. I'm not a fan of Olsteen he is not his dad by any stretch. But some in the day also condemned The Lord for whom he associated with now did they not? Considering the trash on TV these days this movie is a very welcomed change. It actually makes one think. I wonder how many condemning this movie turn around and watch Southpark etc.

Actually, the important bit they left out was Lot offering his virgin daughters to the men of the city. I guess they didn't want to offend viewers by depicting what the Bible really says.
