If you read the review at Daily Wire, you'll see one of the brains behind the series is Johnny Galecki (Leonard Hofstadter). He assures one and all that they hope to be "respectful." At the risk of sounding like a set-up to a bad joke, they have as advisors a priest and a rabbi.
I have completely negative expectations.
I do not at all mind a rude, profane series ("Archer," for instance) that makes no pretense of being "respectful" toward Christianity or the Bible. I laugh at it for what it is. But something like this just can't work, at least in any way Christians can accept.
At some point, they'll have to address "hot button" topics like abortion and homosexuality. They won't be able to do that in a way that "respects" conservative Christianity and Judaism.
At some point, they won't be able to just flick aside the "mixed fabrics" stuff. They'll have to deal with the problem of "living Biblically" according to the Obsolete Covenant or the New Covenant. They'll have to deal with the exclusive and exclusionary facets of Christianity -- or else just keep it light and too boring to watch.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostMany of the laws mentioned in the Old Testament weren't intended for just any ol person who happened to be living in Israel, or for one individual to take upon himself. Tons of those laws were intended to be accomplished by Priests that the common Israelite would have had little part in. I had never heard of this Jacobs character before this thread, but apparently in his attempt to "live Biblically" he did things like stone adulterers, blew the shofar and refrained from trimming the corners of his facial hair. Generally speaking, the priests were the ones who blew the shofar, not lay Israelites. You didn't typically just stone people you thought were committing adultery...even adulterers received a trial, and the penalty ranged from divorce to stoning. Growing the corners of his facial hair is probably fine.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostI think you're missing my point. My concern is that many Christians write off the Old Testament altogether. It's no wonder that modern atheists are very good at using it to catch Christians flat footed.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
