Son of God Movie: Misleading an Filled with Lies . The same people who produced the terribly inaccurate story of The Bible that showed for 10 hours over five weeks on the History Channel have now released an even MORE error-prone movie. Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett have produced Son of God, which seemed to have at least one error a minute throughout the movie. They openly have said that Biblical accuracy was not their first priority. Which, of course, makes you wonder, what WAS their priority and purpose? Roma Downey--all Hollywood Downey, a Roman Catholic, has a masters degree in spiritual psychology. Mark Burnett Burnett has had a very successful run of television productions including Survivor, The Apprentice, Peoples Choice Awards and others. I took nine pages of notes regarding the many scriptural inaccuracies on my first (and only) viewing of the movie. Errors Downey appears to have had a lot of work done! ranged from the holes in Jesus hands (instead of His wrists) to adding words to the Biblical narrative... adding words to what the Bible says Jesus said. Son of God has so many inaccuracies that it begs the question, should you even watch it? knowing that, right or wrong, the images will be burned in your mind forever. For example, the movie has Jesus barging uninvited into Peters boat out in the water on the Sea of Galilee (which bears no resemblance to the real Sea of Galilee). Joel Olsteen and Rick Warren are BIG promoters of Son of God movie He then commands Peter to cast his net into the water again. Jesus then stirs His hand in the water and the fish fill Peters net. Then Jesus tells Peter to follow Him to Change the world. Well, thats certainly NOT what happened. Jesus called Peter and Andrew together to become disciples. Both had finished fishing and were back at the shore mending nets (Matt 4:18-20, Luke 5:1-11). And He never said to Peter, Ive come to change the world. Another example is that the Bible says Jesus slowly ascended to heaven from the Mount of Olives with all watching. And also The producers resorted to promotional gimmicks like this one--releasing a picture of Satan that obviously looked like Obama. They said they cut the scene, but Im guessing it never existed to be cut. says He will return the same way. But in the movie, Jesus is blasted up in the sky like a bottle rocket. Is He going to return the same way? The Catholicism purposefully inserted in the movie is a non-issue. Hey, they put their money out to make the film so they are in control. It seemed like they put Mary, played by Downey, in just about every scene. Obviously they believed the changes would make the movie better ... that fiction was better than the truth. And they added and subtracted from the Biblical story, literally, throughout the movie. There are hundreds of things altered or changed that water-down or give the wrong impression of a scene. But the changes were not only non-Biblical additions, but also major subtractions. Sin and repentance is never mentioned, which is the whole reason Jesus laid down His life. Worst of all, only lip service is given to Jesus resurrection. and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 1Cor. 15:14 Thats one BIG omission! There hasnt been a good solid Protestant controlled movie created for the big screen in sometime. If someone does get the funds to do it right, and they stick to Biblical truth, it will probably do well in a world thats starving for Biblical truth. Jesus movie by Campus Crusade was filmed on location in Israel. The BEST, MOST ACCURATE movie about the Bible ever produced was the movie Jesus done by Campus Crusade in the late 1970s. Filmed in Israel, they used ONLY the Book of Luke as the script and the only words Jesus spoke were the exact words from scripture. So whatever youre watching, whatever scene you see is handled with scriptural integrity.
