Rick Warren and Joel Osteen will see that the Son of God is a big hit at the theaters. They’ve got the money to buy up a few million tickets themselves. After all they are “technical advisors” for the reedited TV movie.

“There was still some scenes in the theatrical version that are clearly not biblical in their entirety - Jesus acting like he was going to stone the adulterous woman (the Bible tells us he did no such action); Peter walking on water (did this miracle happen or was it a dream? The Bible tells us that Jesus rescued Peter from the water and they both walked to the boat and got in, this is not in the miniseries/theatrical version); Jesus in Lazarus’ tomb - Jesus kisses the top of the head of Lazarus in order to raise him back to life (Jesus never entered the tomb of Lazarus according to the Gospels); Jesus emotionally tormented at the Last Supper (acting shocked as if he was clueless about what was going to happen to him - the Bible tells us Jesus repeatedly told his disciples that he would die. See Matthew 26, Mark 8, Luke 18, John 12); Peter punching Judas in the face at Gethsemane; Pontius Pilate’s pre-arrest knowledge about Jesus and other examples. This begs the question for the church. Hollywood Jesus or Bible Jesus... can Christians tell the difference or does the church have a biblical illiteracy problem”?

“I thought it was very interesting how they just rewrote the scriptures through editing. Kind of like.....John 3:16.....For God so loved.....that’s enough. The scripture is too long! In many scenes they just deleted part of the account. That’s not paraphrasing. It’s rewriting”
