I know for a fact that most of the families in my church don't deal with these within their own homes.
Some do, some dont. Either way the show was ridiculously sensational.The point is that there is a vast majority of Christian families who don't deal wiht all of these problems, or even just some.
Shelayne said:I find the show repulsive. I also heard from a woman who was an "extra" on the show, and she talked about how the producers were going on about how this show was going to change how people think about religion. How deep and intellectual it was.
UGH!
How about this Episcopalian priest giving a sermon about temptation, saying that it is not our fault? "Temptation hunts us down. [oh yes, avoid all personal responsibility--typical Hollywood tripe] Sometimes we just can't escape it. Maybe we should instead embrace it. Maybe the next time temptation comes looking for us, we shouldn't beat outselves up for giving in." This is where the Jesus character should appear, "Saaay what?? Earth to Daniel, I said 'Lead us not into temptation...' What part of that don't you get?"
Oh yes. This man is a fine example of a Christian leader. Jesus would most definitely be consorting regularly with this fellow. If Jesus actually did appear to anyone, they would be on their FACE, unable to even look upon His glory. I must have missed that part. This show is mocking Him. The writer said as much. And for anyone who says that Jesus regularly hung out with prostitutes, etc, so why wouldn't he hang out with this loser? Where is the part where he tells the man "Go and sin no more."? No. This false Jesus only appears when the priest is about to pop pills. He is relegated to the role of "sidekick". He is an insufferable surfer-dude type that looks as if he has been dipping into a nickel-bag himself. This Jesus NO ONE would follow to the bus stop, much less DIE for.
This is mocking my Lord and Savior, and I will have no part of it. I saw enough of it and heard enough of it. It makes me so sad that people are so lost. I am praying for these people involved in the show's production.
I predict this show will be axed. Besides offending half the population, the writing and acting are excruciating to endure.

I will agree with that. A bad show is a bad show.I predict this show will be axed.

Unfortunately this is not unbelievable. I am just glad they dont have them molesting children. That would never happen either.amx said:It's been removed from our market and I'm glad. I watched the show so I could help remove it or have my mind changed. This show is without value. The leadership of this church are not relying on the sustaining grace and strength of our Lord to help them. All of them are lost. Many are relying on alcohol or drugs to help them deal with the pain of everyday life. I have heard that the Episcopal church endorsed this nonsense. Unbelievable.
I missed this in the Gospels. You are correct only if Jesus did show His full glory.
Well, from what I understand in the Bible is that Jesus IS now in His glory. He has been resurrected. I repeat--we would be on our faces!
My Jesus wouldn't say to someone "What do I know? I'm not a fortune teller."
You see this through a much more positive lens than I.I think they were casting Christians in a poor light. The family in Seventh Heaven had problems and they weren't easily unsnarled. They dealt with many difficult issues but I never felt that Christ or His church were being demened by the writers. Book however shows a bunch of people who should not be leaders in any congregation. The people are not relying on Christ but rather chemicals. they are trying to find joy and peace in the kind of things the world tries to find comfort with. All of us would be in a sorry state such as this without Christ's intervention for us.RenHoek said:
I repeat. If He chose to show Himself in His full glory, this is correct. He is capable of revealing Himself any way He chooses. I do not see this as a streach.
My Jesus was always a bit sarcastic and biting with the Pharisees. To say He had no sense of humor is speculation at best. I would not be comfortable putting words into or restricting words from His mouth.
This statement, to me, meant that Jesus was not there to tell Daniel what the future held, and He was not to be lumped in with fortune telling. This makes perfect sense to me.
I find myself in the middle on this who issue, spineless you knowamx said:You see this through a much more positive lens than I.I think they were casting Christians in a poor light.

I also agree that my Jesus is very unlike the poor representation on this program. As I said I'm glad the people of Nashville stepped up to say we don't want this being piped into our homes.
