The Bible Miniseries Inserts A Bit Of Hollywood Drama Into Scriptures, But Message Remains Intact

I love it tongiht! Cant wait for next week..

I was so disappointed in this first segment. It was so overacted and corny. There have been many movies done based on Bible stories in the past that were so much more believable. I hope it improves.

I thought it was well done. The only thing that bothered me a bit was Abraham's $300 haircut! There are so many people trying very hard to get back to God that I believe this miniseries is a great start for them, including me.

A typhoon? Why not a tsuami? Up until the moment I read this article, I thought Downey was a bit more intelligent. The fact that she and her husband were stunned that the Bible was not taught in public schools indicates how limited they are. People, don't judge a book by its movie.

have you considered reading the bible for the real truth about the bible. or that God is calling you to Him. pray and ask for His guidance and truth.

Enjoyed!

It was great

I tried to watch this last night but I couldn't after about fifteen minutes of too much narration it was hard to watch. The narrator had that deep egyptian "The Mummy" voice but spoke way too often, so much so that it overshadowed the acting.

I pray that God is glorified through this project and many people are made aware of His power and majesty! Blessings on Mr. Burnett and Ms. Downey! Thank you for making this project.

The movie is awful! Misleading and inaccurate at most every turn. No suprise.

Like all movies, the "BOOK" is always better!

The Bible – no thanks! Marshall Arts and other typical Holywood crap made me turn it off after only 40 minutes and go to sleep.

This was a Biblical joke! If one reads and understand it, you cannot accept this movie. We do not have liberty to rewrite the Word, not even in a movie format. This is how come many are lost today, speak where the Bible speak, and be silence where it doesn't. The Bible is a complete package, not a cliff note of salvation. Two thumbs down!

The good book does not not need to be re-written in order to make it more "dramatic". The Bible and the word of God stands on its own merit and should NEVER be tampered with to appease a producer or directors wishes. I was somewhat disappointed in the first segment and hope that the remaining segments of the series stay true to scripture.

It was so bad it wasn't even "funny" bad. Lots of swordfights thrown in and the dirt on everbodies faces was so obviously brushed on it looked like a high school production. I also loved how some Isrealites had British accents and some didn't. Lol. This is exactly the kind of lowest common denominator tripe that the History channel is now know for.

I was disappointed with this watered down version of the Bible. If you can't fit the entire Bible in a series with biblical truths, then don't bother doing it. Anything to make a buck nowadays!

The Ninjas. When the Angelic Ninjas showed up pretty much was a fail. Not to mention all of the other things. Like the middle aged abraham. Isaac knowing that his father was going to kill him. It kind of took away from the message. I think that it was so unbelievable those parts that the directors try to make it believable in our today world which results in the fail.

Noah's ARC? Is the journalist confusing Noah's craft with the rainbow? lol I was excited that this series was coming to TV, but disappointed with this first installment. I expected it to be condensed, since it would be years long instead of hours if it weren't, and I, too, was a little disturbed by the depiction of the angels as ninjas, along with the description of the "angel of death" passing over the homes of the Jews rather than the "angel of the Lord", among other things. My main concern so far, however, is that I didn't see the deep faith of Abraham and Moses, or the explanation for why God allowed the Israelites to be enslaved for 400 yrs, and in the story of Moses, the fact that the explanation for why King Herod ordered all the baby boys killed was inaccurate (actually because he was attempting to destroy the baby Jesus). I appreciate that the producers want to educate Americans about the Bible, and I applaud their desire-however, the ENTIRE Bible in one mini-series is pretty much impossible to do with accuracy and attention to the important relationships and details. My hope is that this series will make people seek more knowledge of the Bible and its true contents, and that Hollywood will notice that there is interest and a NEED for this kind of programming/film.

Why some people is just negative about everything ! I just love the fact that someone is making a movie about our Bible and hopefully people will start readying and understanding the Bible . Even if it starts out of curiosity

Excellent viewing and I give the History Channel a big shout out for putting something decent on TV to offset the junk that other channels are putting out. Of course, one would have to be a believer to appreciate the value of good, clean television programming. Thank you Roma Downey, Mike Burnett and the History Channel. Blessings to you all.

Too bad they're putting a Hollywood twist on thing like the bible – ugghhh!

C'mon Randy Walden he is just trying to Jazz it up a little to make interesting. Kinda like those people who think having a band in church is a good idea. I'm offended by both.

I did not know that Sampson was black, and married a white woman. I also didn't know that his hair was actually cut by a woman, while he was sleeping. I thought in the Bible, his head was actually shaved. The Bible mini-series, would be much better told, true to the actual happenings in the Bible. I will continue watching this, but at the same time, I will take what I see with a grain of salt ~ realizing a lot of it may not be true. Very disappointing to me, too! If you're going to tell THE STORY, please, keep it honest and real. But mostly, keep it true!

And I know this is all about being politically correct. What about being BIBLICALLY correct? Is PC more important? NO, it's NOT.

I take exception to some of their "creative license" as well. Sampson was NOT black, he was HEBREW, as were ALL of the Judges of Israel.

Still not a bad production. And, if it opens the door to discussion with a non-believer that may help them to believe, then it is a good thing.

I agree, Tracy – about the discussion part. And while I do take exception to the black Sampson, I do think the actor who portrayed him, did a great job and looked the part of a strong man. I liked the actor.

And another thing I'd like to know the REAL answer to (since The Bible is not exactly being TRUE)………..is, was Sampson's wife white? In The Bible, they killed her, because she was married to a black man. So, now I am left to wonder, is that part true? Did it happen? Was she killed because she married a black man? See, that is what BOTHERS ME! They weve some UNtruth in, and in doing so, bring forth even more questions about what really happened, AS WELL AS confuse people!

I will research your question and give you an answer tomorrow if possible. Please remind me as I have a lot going on in my head. Delilah was an Arab (philistine) if memory serves me right.

Tracy, I was thinking that might be the case, but was not sure. I do love the series and will keep watching it; but I just wish they had done it a little differently.

And if they had all been black in the Bible, and they used a white actor to portray Sampson, I would be asking the same question: Why did they use a white guy. It's not that he was black, it's more that they did NOT follow the true Biblical story of his color.
