Samson as a black guy wasn't stupid enough?
I know it's common practice to fawn over any Quote Christian Unquote movie. I know it's church practice to talk up some of these ridiculous movies and shows.
The reality is they do harm to the Word of God.
I can't think of anyone that was saved, came to repentance, etc. from one of these ridiculous movies.
But I HAVE had to discuss things like "no, their really is no "rock monsters" in Scripture" after someone saw some of these stupid movies.
Seriously, it needs to end. We don't HAVE to fawn over BAD movies that adulterate The Word just because someone thinks it might "reach" someone.
We watched on DVD their last "Bible" series that was fawned over in churches, etc. It was a huge let down. Watching it with the family, it got to the point after Jesus was crucified were Thomas spoke with him-
I paused it and said "they can pull this whole thing together right here, let's see what they do..."
And if their was five words in Scripture that pull everything together it's those words of Thomas after seeing the nail scares-
"MY LORD AND MY GOD!"
It was left out of the stupid "Bible" series.
They are watering down The Word. It was Mary Centric, running similar to "The Passion". The power was left out, the "meat" is missing.
The problem is people don't read Scripture and STUDY Scripture like they should. So a black Samson isn't questioned, missing the MEAT of the Gospels isn't a big deal, cause most don't really know The Word anyways.
Now they are casting chinese people for Jews in this next one- I was really hoping they gave up their horrible attempt at movie making. What next, a space alien as Jesus?
I know I know, I sound petty, I sound angry, someone is thinking "if it gets someone in then it's fine." Is it? Has it?
I remember hearing the big hoopla about the first awful series at church before it came out- boy the cheerleaders were going non stop. Kinda like the ridiculous "Fireproof" movies and similar drivel. Boy if you weren't for them, you must be an atheist or some gawd awful commie or sumtim! Yet when the "bible" started airing, we really quickly heard the cheerleaders die down. Wondering why and kinda realizing why at the same time, wee waited a few weeks and asked. We were told "yeah it wasn't what we expected."
Why are you expecting good out of Hollywood? Your expecting something real out of there? "Oh brother no, you see, the producers are Christian and so we have to promote this movie or we are gawd awful commies..."
No you don't. Why not tell people to spend the 3 hours wasted watching that drivel with reading the Scripture, or watching one of the DVD's that portrays the events and has the Scriptural references going at the bottom so you can follow along.
"Gospel of John" wasn't perfect, but it was a heckuva lot better than this crap now. Even the Bruce Marchino "Matthew" and "Acts" DVD's are much better in that regard.
We are never going to LIKE everything, but that ain't the point. The point is that black Samsons, rock monsters in Genesis, leaving the meat out of The Word, etc. is a DIVERSION.
So I can't and won't be amped up over these people's next little adulteration.
