I watched it on Lifetime. It was the same as what was shown on History Channel. Strange indeed. I saw it on the menu. Like you I thought it was a mistake but no.

You are absolutely right I noticed it flipping through channels earlier. Wonder why, but it doesnā€™t matter sounds cool to me. šŸ™‚

I watched about the first 40 minutes or soā€¦Turned it off in disgust after watching the ā€œNinja Angelsā€ getting Lot and family out of Sodom.

Thought it interesting that the producers chose to show a very ā€œsexyā€ view of Hagar immediately after Abraham impregnated her, but then also chose not to share the full bible account of the Angels visit to Lot and Lotā€™s confrontation with the mobā€¦you know - where he offered the mob his daughtersā€¦šŸ¤·
Then - the ā€œNinja Angelsā€ were just the last straw for meā€¦

Note here, Iā€™m not saying that they needed to share the full text of Lot offering his daughtersā€¦Skipping that was fineā€¦but for me it was more just an accumulation of what they were and were not doing and showing. I could tell I wasnā€™t going to be happyā€¦

I might look in on it again when it gets closer to the incarnationā€¦

Peace
James

Now as a (self-proclaimed) Bible film geek the ā€˜ninja angelsā€™ piques my interest. šŸ˜‰
 
For those who missed itā€¦it will re air tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 9 pm. Not sure, but I think eastern time.

I plan on recording and watching it then.

i noticed it was on lifetime last night also. i watched the first hour again. i think i will be more interested when we get to the new testament part. the stories of the old testament are well known - but not as meaningful to me as when Jesus comes into the world.
 
I saw enough of this series not to like it. I donā€™t think that some things presented are
Scripturally correct and I do not like the way it is presented. Too modernized for me!

Agreed! However, I like it a lot so far and have no complaints only that it should be 15 hours instead of 10 in order to tell the stories in greater detail. I read in the Hollywood Reporter that one of the criticisms of this film was that it puts too much emphasis on the Gospels, so I guess you wonā€™t be disappointed.
 
Just by seeing the commercial I expect this film to be historically inaccurate and biased towards evangelical/Baptists.

The ad shows Jesus being baptized by immersion, so far so good. But it shows him being laid down in the water and then being picked up. That is I think a modern invention by the Baptists.

I was baptized as an adult in the Russian Orthodox church and I knelt in the water and the priest pushed my head down into the water. The Catholics and Orthodox began baptism by immersion, and I have seen other adult immersions in both churches as well as Eastern Catholics.

Never once have I seen anyone immersed Baptist style by laying him down and picking him up. Except in Baptist/evangelical type churches.

Since when have films become ā€œhistorically accurateā€? And this coming from someone who likes to nitpick that sort of stuff. šŸ˜ƒ

I love that commercial it is a wonderful reminder of all the good the Church does in the world. Not to mention itā€™s positive impact on science, education, literature, etc. Since sunday I must have played it at least four times on Youtube.

Being that I have a trail membership I donā€™t think I can post links. I tried doing so a while back and was automatically prevented. Just go to Youtube and type ā€œCatholics Come Home commercialā€ in the search engine and you should get it. Itā€™s the one thatā€™s 2 minutes and 8 seconds I think. Good luck!
 
The one that really hit me - was THIS ONE.

It just broke my heartā€¦for I see too much of myself in it.

Peace
James
