I just read an article on grammar that discussed that ... the rules are tricky Why “A Historic” and “An Historic” Are Both Technically Correct

"Bring back the 88 book Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible!" ... is that what you meant? :) (We need the Book of Sinodos)

It is an American RIGHT. So soon after Memorial Day, I would have expected more respect for the right to complain that so many sacrificed so much to preserve. ;)

Gridlock is irrelevant. Even when one party controlled both houses of Congress and the White House, they failed to pass meaningful reform on anything that really matters (immigration, health care costs, the budget, social security, the decline of the middle class/income gap, tax reform). The...

Koine Greek. (God reinspired people to get it right.) ;)

Where I have mixed feelings is the question of what should a pastor's salary be when the church can afford it. Clearly the Pastor should not be struggling to feed his family in a large, affluent congregation that can afford to support him. However, is it proper for the pastor to earn in the...

If I could make an observation as a bystander: Love the exchange (I want to hear the exegesis for both sides), but the tone … not so much. As a Baptist, we are supposed to be more tolerant of “Individual Soul Liberty” and as Christians, people with different opinions could end up as next door...

I see “propitiation” as less a turning aside of wrath, and more a restoring of a relationship that was broken. More like the embrace of the Father at the return of the Prodigal Son that heals the relationship that the son broke.

What is your opinion of Ben Hur? (It contains inaccuracies.)

My view is irrelevant. You “real Christians” already voted with your dollars and “faithful” movies still attracted haters while losing their financial shirts. So, don’t shoot the messenger … you created the reality (I saw the bad movies to try and support Christian film makers).

Reading a book is not theatrical drama, no. Portraying Jesus like a Puritain Minister sent to stamp out JOY is not relatable, no.

The Lumo Project: Founded by Alex Proyas, this multi-film series uses unabridged, word-for-word Gospel text as its script, with narrators reading the scripture over acted, historically accurate depictions of Jesus’s life. The Gospel of John (2003): Directed by Philip Saville, this epic 3-hour...

Ok, using ONLY the Bible, prove Mark wrote the Gospel of Mark. (Since we are discarding Biblical Scholars and Theology and only the Bible counts.)

Many of what you call “problems” are not true problems. You do realize that people have made verbatim dramatizations of scripture that include exactly what is in the Bible and add NOTHING that is not … few people watch them. The Chosen deliberately set out to do something different. It is a...

The verbatim identical portions of Matthew and Mark indicate to most textural scholars that SOMETHING existed as a written reference source from which both writers drew (as each was “inspired by the Holy Spirit to create the Gospels that bear their name). If the Holy Spirit was able to use a...

Some of the editorial choices in The Chosen didn’t really bother me the way it bothered other people. 1. I think portraying Jesus spending his time aside to refine drafts of his sermons was an inaccurate poetic license, but I also believe that the Biblical narrative is a literary compilation of...

Is it worth looking to see whether the allegations are true or Christians are posting lies? (That seems more important than the accuracy of ANY supposed “biblical“ show.) I found false statements and half-truths, so I pointed them out.

I was curious about something that you said, so I asked AI: Yes, The Chosen does include a scene where a 12-year-old Jesus is told by His father, Joseph, that He committed a "transgression" for staying behind in the temple, but the show portrays this strictly as a parental joke rather than an...

See, THIS is attacking the show (which is reasonable opinion - right or wrong) unlike arguing that the Advisor (Evangelical Dr. Doug Huffman) is a "Mormon" or the show teaches "Mormon theology" because they put Derral Evans in charge of their "social media platforms" (his area of expertise).
