I sincerely hope that all who watch this DVD will read the bible (modern or KJV) and ask God to impart understanding. For this effort should in no way have been regarded as a typical movie. It is GOD's written word AND it is holy and real history. Poetic license are you kidding me?!?! In the beginning Satan cunningly deceived Eve into eating from the forbidden tree. Next, The Fall of Mankind..nothing poetic about that now is there? Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth!! The bible is the inspired word of GOD and should never be misrepresented as shown in this DVD. If you wrote a book/movie and it was blatantly edited to distort pertinent and imperative context how would you feel? Even the Pharisees told the guards at Jesus' tomb to lie about his body and if asked tell people that his disciples stole it so that people would not believe that he had actually risen from the dead. It's very sad and disheartening that the "Heads" of prominent mega-churches whom were on the advisory panel did not object to the obvious in order to uphold the Truth.

I loved the whole mini-series. It helped me to see the events in chronological order. And the week after seeing the final episode of The Bible, I saw the play The Thorn. That was also fantastic. If you get a chance to see it, by all means, do. Between the two events, it puts things into prospective very well.

I was glued to the TV like never before. This show has indeed touched all who watched in some way or another. Yes, it did have some things not totally accurate but, that is not the point. It speaks the Word of God. It humbles you, and shows us Unconditional Love - as it should and has had a very lasting effect on me - personally. It will touch your heart and if you are looking for answers - you may find it here. That is the point.

The BEST thing I have ever seen on TV!!!!! My heart is changed.......

The mini seriers is a wonderful portrayal of God's Word. Although it may not be exact it was pretty darn close. It brings out the visual aspects as a child reading about these stories and it surely did not add any ridiculous exaggeration as Hollywood usually does.
Of course, some people may find it not perfect and it may not fit you since many of us aren't Bible Scholars nor film critics as yourselves. But for the majority of us, I will have to say... I have read the Bible from cover to cover and my perception of this film / miniseries is that it is superb! I visualized these stories differently in my mind but none the less, it was the story was Bible based and true to His Word! God is truly pleased I am sure.
So back to this film / miniseries. I know from my own experience as a person who was angry with God for the death of a parent, had pushed Him away and really found every excuse not to go to church. I blamed Him for taking my dad away from me too soon. For some reason I happened to start watching this on the History Channel and I was hooked. I was broken and this miniseries humbled me and reopened my eyes, that there is purpose and meaning. I can help those now who suffer loss or try. I know this miniseries changed me and for that, it saved me- again.
Perhaps many people that are upset at this new film are currently reading from the New Copyright of the NIV bibles that have changed the verbiage of God's word to conform to ways of political correctness of this world we now live in. That is unacceptable and that is written clearly in His Word! That is blasphemy and should be considered more a direct threat to sincere Christians than anything. Romans 12:2
Maybe I am now a fanatic. Whatever the case, it is definitely worth watching. If it's not for you, than pass it along to someone else. You may save them from their darkness unknowingly.
