FINISHED watching "The BIBLE"

ROMA DOWNEY  AND  HER  HUSBAND  PRODUCED AND  AIRED  THEIR  PRODUCTION  OF  "THE  BIBLE"  ON  THE  HISTORY  CHANNEL  IN  2013.

I'VE  FINISHED  WATCHING  IT  ALL.

DO  NOT  KNOW  WHO  THEY  HAD  AS  THE  "THEOLOGY"  ADVISORS,  BUT  MANY  MANY  MISTAKES  WERE  IN  THE  SERIES.

THERE  WERE  SOME  HUGE  MISTAKES:  THE  NUMBER  OF  PEOPLE  LEAVING  EGYPT  IN  THE  EXODUS  SCENE  WAS  TO  PUT  IT  MILDLY  -  PATHETIC!

EXODUS 12:37....ABOUT 600,000  MEN,  BESIDES  CHILDREN,  AND  A  MIXED  MULTITUDE (V. 38).

CECIL DeMILLE'S  "TEN  COMMANDMENTS"  MADE  IN  1956  GAVE  THE  TRUE  PERSPECTIVE  ON  THE  NUMBER  LEAVING  EGYPT.  THIS  RECENT  "BIBLE"  SERIES IS  REALLY  WITHOUT  AN  EXCUSE,  FOR  IN  TODAY'S  TECH  WORLD,  YOU  CAN  DIGITALLY  MAKE  100  PEOPLE  INTO  THOUSANDS  OF  PEOPLE  -  VERY  BAD  MISTAKE  FOR  "THE  BIBLE"  PRODUCTION  TEAM.

ANOTHER  SHOCKING  MISTAKE  WAS  HAVING  "SAMSON"  AS  A  BLACK  MAN.  I  HAVE  NO  CLUE  WHAT  THEY  WERE  THINKING  ABOUT.  THE  "SAMSON AND DELILA"  MOVIE  MADE  IN  THE  1950s  WITH  VICTOR  MATURE  AS  SAMSON,  WAS  VERY  WELL  DONE - OBTAINABLE  FROM  AMAZON.COM

THE  SERIES  ALSO  LEADS  PEOPLE  TO  CONTINUE  THE  FALSE  IDEA  THAT  "JEWS"  ARE  ALL  THE  ISRAELITES.  THEY  SKIP  OVER  THE  FACT  THAT  THE  HOUSE  OF  ISRAEL  AFTER  SOLOMON  WAS  DISTINCT  FROM  THE  HOUSE  OF  JUDAH.  THE  IMPRESSION  GIVEN  IS  THAT  JEWS  ARE  ALL  OF  ISRAEL,  WHICH  MANY  MODERN  THEOLOGIANS  ALSO  WANT  YOU  TO  BELIEVE.  NOTHING  COULD  BE  FURTHER  FROM  THE  TRUTH.  THE  JEWS  ARE  ONLY  THE  TRIBE  OF  JUDAH,  BENJAMIN,  AND  LEVI.  THE  TEN  TRIBE  HOUSE  OF  ISRAEL  WAS  TAKEN  INTO  CAPTIVITY  NOT  BY  BABYLON  BUT  BY  THE  ASSYRIAN  EMPIRE,  AFTER  WHICH  THE  TEN  TRIBES  MIGRATED  FROM  ASSYRIA NORTH  OF  BABYLON,  THROUGH  EUROPE  TO  BECOME  SOME  OF  THE  NATIONS  OF  EUROPE  TODAY;  ESPECIALLY  THE  TRIBE  OF  JOSEPH [EPHRAIM  AND  MANESSEH]   WHO  ARE  TODAY  THE  BRITISH  COMMONWEALTH  AND  THE  UNITED  STATES  OF  AMERICA.  FOR  A  SCHOLASTIC  STUDY  OF  WHO  THE  NATIONS  OF  THE  WORLD  ARE  TODAY,  YOU  NEED  CRAIG  WHITE'S  BOOK "IN  SEARCH  OF  THE  NATIONS  OF  THE  WORLD" - OBTAINABLE  FROM  AMAZON.COM.

A  TYPICAL  MISTAKE  JUST  ABOUT  ALL  "JESUS"  MOVIES  DONE  IS  HAVING  JESUS  WITH  LONG  HAIR,  THIS  "THE  BIBLE"  SERIES  FOLLOWED  THAT  MISTAKE.

THERE   WERE  INDEED  MANY  MANY  OTHER  MISTAKES;  BUT  ALSO  SOMETIMES  THEY  GOT  IT  RIGHT.  JOHN  THE  BAPTIST  BAPTIZED  IN  FULL  EMERSION,  AND  SHOWED  JESUS  GOING  UNDER  THE  WATER  COMPLETELY,  BUT  THEY  LEFT  OUT  THE  IMPORTANT  WORDS  OF  CHRIST, "SO  WE  MUST  FULFIL  ALL  RIGHTEOUSNESS."

CERTAINLY  THE  ACTING  WAS  SUPERB  FROM  EVERYONE..... NO  BIG  NAME  HOLLYWOOD  STARS  OR  FACES,  THAT  WAS  A  GOOD  MOVE  ON  THEIR  PART,  AND  OF  COURSE  WOULD  HAVE  HELPED  KEEP  THEIR  COST  DOWN.  YES  SUPERB  ACTING.

OVERALL  A  GOOD  SERIES  TO  WATCH,  AND  WHAT  ROMA  DOWNEY  WANTED  WAS  A  SERIES  THAT  COULD  DRAW  PEOPLE  BACK  TO  READING  THE  BIBLE,  AND  HAVE  NEW  PEOPLE  INTRODUCED  TO  THE  BIBLE,  FOR  THE  SERIES  IN  HER  WORDS  WAS,  GOING  TO  GO  TO  MOST  PARTS  OF  THE  WORLD.

OH  YES  I  DID  BUY  THE  BLUE-RAY  DVD  SET,  SO  I  HAVE  THE  "SPECIALS"  AS  TO  HOW  THE  SERIES  WAS  MADE,  AND  SOME  VERY  INTERESTING  BEHIND  THE SCENES  LOOK,  AS  TO  HOW  AND  WHERE  IT  WAS  ALL  DONE,  AND  HOW  THEY  CAME  TO  FIND  THE  RIGHT  MAN  JUST  BEFORE  SHOOTING  BEGAN,  TO  PLAY  JESUS.
