G2G, your post 56: “In all fairness to O’Reilly, I don’t think Christians were his target audience...even if one person discovers Him. Just a thought.”
I agree with your conclusion. Perhaps this type of presentation will cause those who are not Christians to investigate.
I saw only a couple of pieces, the argument scene of Caiphas and Nicodemus at the council was interesting even though no proof of, but possible. And I saw the ‘stoning of the prostitute’ and thought it well done, EXCEPT for the deletion of Jesus telling her “to go and sin no more” i.e. stop being a prostitute.
Oreily is involved, it is automatically suspect if not totally discredited.
I genuinely hope so. Everyone's different, and this is a much less threatening approach, something to build on.
I got "Killing Lincoln"for Christmas the year it came out, and I thought it was really interesting, although there were some things that were different from what I'd read elsewhere, too. Still a good read!
“O’Reilly doesn’t know squat about the bible or Jesus.”
And he says that he was schooled as a child by Roman Catholic nuns.
I saw the “Killing Lincoln” movie on TV and was pleasantly surprised at its accuracy and liked the narration by Tom Hanks. Many years ago, I did a partial trace of Booth’s escape route from DC to the general areal where he crossed the Potomac, but never did the Virginia side.
I read “Killing Patton” and found it accurate thought it played to conspiracy theory folks. SPOILER ALERT - However O’Riley’s co-author who wrote it, was correct in showing that there could NOT have been a conspiracy to create the accident, because no one knew until the morning of the accident that Patton was going pheasant hunting, when the idea and decision was made. However, it could be entitled “the hidden sex lives” of WWII’s most famous people. About the only famous person O’R mentioned who wasn’t accused of having a secret lover was Ann Frank!
They are showing it on Fox tonight, just can’t watch anymore. Horrible! Why deliberate leave out the miracles, the healings. Not only is Jesus portrayed as hesitant and unsure of his mission, Mary is dismissed by Jesus himself at table as not knowing his mission. She gave her fiat! She knew. His divine nature not illustrated at all. Give me the old 6 part Jesus of Nazareth anyday.
