I am sad.
I am sad because, in the attempt to 'Visualize" the word of God, The bible series does not do the word of God any Justice.
One of the perks of a Preacher's Kid is that from a very young age, you actually got to involuntarily read bible stories because mama's gonna quiz you later. If you miss the big picture, you went back to the book you missed. Many stories have been twisted in the series. I love David... and because of that, I know he was not anointed as King out in the sheep pastures as depicted. That is just some of the things to pay attention to when watching the Bible series. In an attempt to capture the emotion and materialize the word into motion picture, the paraphrase is beyond what i personally can stand. So, if you gonna watch the Bible series, (and you should), watch it like a hawk. Have your bible next to you (or at least, know your stuff.) Allow nothing and no one to paint for you a picture about God and the Bible stories that contradicts the witness of the holy spirit to your spirit. Choose your meals wisely because not everyone is for Jesus Christ though it appears so outwardly. Just read the letters of the apostle Paul. Stay blessed and Keep your eyes and ears Open. When in conflict of the Mind, Just approach the throne of Grace. What you receive from there, will certainly deconfuse you. (deconfuse is not a real word, but you surely get my point).!!!!
I do not know it all. I do not claim to know it all, but when something is off, you should not be gullible to take it all down without prayer and bible reading on your own part. The king James version is definitely a place to start when contemporary bible versions aren't making you understand. One of the other ways that i find helpful in growing in the word of God is fellowship.
Keep the faith and God Bless you.
