KJ. Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Anyone been watching this? An interesting portrayal of Satan: Link to comment
Landlord Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thought about watching it until I found out Joel Osteen and Rick Warren were two of the higher-ups involved with it. Nothing to see with the actor though; that particular guy has portrayed biblical, and even satanic, characters before. He's a well-established and well-respected actor. Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I caught a little bit of it last night. I would like to get around to watching them all from beginning to end, but that might have to wait until the end of April. I'm pretty swamped up until that point. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Watched some of part 3 last night. Seems like it might be pretty good. First two are available on demand. Prob start from the beginning (pun sort of intended) tonight or tomorrow. I won't snub it just because there are some attention whores involved higher up. Could still be worthwhile. Link to comment

zoogs Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 the history channel is a joke. May not apply to this program but in general I have to agree. A ton of their history stuff rates really low on the academic scale. Link to comment

A couple atheists to be in charge of a series called THE BIBLE? I haven't watched 32 seconds of it, so someone who has can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing the show isn't really hiding the fact that it's aimed towards Christians. Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I didn't watch it real close because I turned it on in the middle of part three and coincidently, I was reading the Bible at the same time. Freakishly, at one point in the program, they were word for word on TV with what I was reading. Not sure that means they hold that true throughout or not but it was quite a coincidence. I'm sure their take on things might not be as precise as some would prefer. I'm just spit ballin here but guessing that Landlord would find some issues with something. Link to comment
