But why subject ourselves to having to sort out bones from poisoned meat? And, with every human instructor we will find the need to, so to speak, “eat the meat and spit out the bones”. Yes, I know that even among those who try diligently to accurately teach from the Word of God, we should, we must “search the Scriptures, daily, to see if these things are so”. I owe everything to them.Īll others get “fact-checked” at the door. I trust God: The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I mean, why look to outside (outside Christianity, especially) for what people THINK an event, a parable, a teaching, from God should mean – when you can go directly to, and receive that answer directly from, THE AUTHOR Himself? ![]() I prefer to rely on the Holy Spirit to give me “the picture” of what is going on in Scripture. I made it very clear that if I go down, I’m going down protecting my friends and my brothers and sisters and so I don’t deny we have a lot of theological differences but we love the same Jesus.” I know that’s controversial and I don’t mind getting criticized at all for the show, and I don’t mind being called a blasphemer, I don’t like it when my friends are. No, it’s the same, I mean I’ll sink or swim on that statement. That’s not something you often hear…sometimes it’s like, oh they believe in a different Jesus than we do. The stories of Jesus we do agree on, and we love the same Jesus. “So I can honestly say, it’s been one of the top three most fascinating and beautiful things about this project – it’s been my growing brother and sisterhood with people of the LDS community that I never would’ve known otherwise and I learned so much about your faith tradition and realizing, gosh, for all the stuff that maybe we don’t see eye to eye on…that all happened, that’s all based on stuff that happened after Jesus was here. The writers are clearly trying to appease the feminist American culture even at the expense of changing the words of Scripture. ![]() This is in direct contradiction to the story in Luke 5 where it clearly states “some men” carried the paralytic man (see verse 18). And finally, in episode 6, we see Tamar and Mary Magdalene carry the paralytic man through the crowd. And if she had, her virtue and the intentions of Jesus and the disciples would have been called into question. It would have been both culturally and morally inappropriate for a single woman to travel around with a bunch of men. Mary Magdalene is also seen throughout the show as “the 13th disciple” and travels around with Jesus and His disciples. This is a historically impossible scenario and totally inconsistent with first century Jewish culture. We first glimpse this when Jesus asks Mary Magdalene to lead in prayer and Scripture reading before a sabbath dinner. The most blatant one is the way the show pushes a feminist agenda. ![]() My first concern is the subtle (or not-so-subtle) Scriptural inconsistencies.
