Killing Jesus [Movie]

[1Timothy115]

The Catholic rendition of Jesus Christ's life, starring Kelsey Grammer (Christian Scientist) as Herod and  Haaz Sleiman (was raised Muslim) as Jesus.

Is anyone going to watch this TV movie based on Bill O'Reilly's book Killing Jesus? Maybe it will be good, what do you think?

[John81]

I caught a brief portion of an ad for it the other day but don't remember what channel or when it's on. If I had nothing better to do I might give it a look and decide whether to watch more or not. My hopes wouldn't be very high for the movie after the way Bill described the book, how and why he wrote it, and basically said his version is better than the Bible's. That plus Hollywood ruins most all "Bible" movies.

I think in a couple weeks the TV movie A.D. comes on (I think that's the name of it) which is supposed to go into the book of Acts. One picture I saw for the movie showed two men standing together, the caption said it was Peter and John, but for some reason one of them was black. If they are playing with the identities of the main Bible characters I can only imagine the rest of the movie will be more PC drivel and Catholic inspired stuff as was their previous series.

The ads I saw on TV were enough to convince me that it was written and directed in the devils workshop.  Ain't gonna watch it.

Reminds me of The Bible series they had last year. I turned the program on, already in progress, and it only took a few minutes to see how bad it was and turn away from it.

Like Gibson's movie, Passion of Christ, which so many praised and flocked to theaters to see. It was several years after that I noticed it on a "Christian" TV station and decided to watch a bit of it. I had watched less than 30 seconds and already unbiblical stuff was present and it only got worse from there. I watch just a bit longer and determined there was nothing edifying there.

Considering many Christians still praise shows like Touched By An Angel and Highway To Heaven (both heavily Catholic and secular) it's little wonder they give their time and money to these other things as well.

It's clear the Enemy is involved in these Hollywood productions. That which is recorded in Scripture of the events they pretend to portray or so amazing and wonderful they stand out on their own. Even so, Hollywood refuses to tell the actual stories as recorded in Scripture. They insist upon adding things to "make the story better" (in reality, worse) and they subtract from the biblical accounts (again, they say to help the story, but again they ruin the story). They love to mix Catholic junk, secularism, myth and even mysticism into their version of Bible stories.

I remember watching part of the series "The Bible" I gave comments on the errors I could identify, which were too numerous.

However, I don't believe I'll waste my time on this one. Someone else's turn  .

I don't even bother with 'biblical' movies anymore, don't give them a moment of my time, unless its out of sheer morbid curiosity. I watched on TV about 5 minutes of the new Noah, and it was as bad as I had believed.

The movie 'Four Blood Moons' just came out in limited release, Hagee's book made to a movie, with radio talkshow host Joe Pags doing the narration. Another one I won't bother with. People have been gushing over it, how amazing it is, and how biblical. HA! As far as I can see, the Bible speaks on one instance that the moon will be as blood, nothing about a series of four of them, whether they coincide with Jewish feasts or not. And it was also be accompanied by a sun as black as sackcloth, which we haven't yet seen. I don't believe these will be eclipses, as many believe, and as these four 'blood moons' are. I believe it will be a singular event of portend, signifying the wrath of God, or an aspect of His wrath. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign. These blood moons will pass with nary a whisper, and nothing occurring, and these people will be left discredited. I don't care about Hagee-he has no credit as is, but Pags is a pretty good radio host, very conservative and I suspect some brand of Christians, though clearly a weak one if he's buying into this. I hope he will see that nothing happens and repudiate his part in it, maybe even start really studying his Bible, not just what people say things mean.

Check out the History Channel. They are getting to have almost as many many programs dealing with Christianity/Jesus/Bible as they do on Hitler! Naturally, they are from a very secular and outright unbelieving perspective. They have "lost books of the Bible" programs which just bring up the same old rejected works of fiction that have been known (not lost!) for centuries. Programs telling us God was just an advanced ET who did tricks with His spaceship and advanced technology. Jesus was just a guy who didn't really die but slipped away with Mary (not his mom!), got married and had at least one son...which some of these shows say and others are all about, the line of Jesus being a closely held secret of the Knights Templar. Miracles are explained away, most often in obviously unbelievable ways. The miracles they can't come up with an explanation for they simply ignore. The fact most of the explanations they do come up with couldn't possibly be correct is also ignored.

The attacks against our Lord, His Word, Christianity and followers of Christ are rampant on TV. Catch some sitcom and hear jabs against Christianity. Catch some dramas and see Christians portrayed as nuts or violent extremists. Movies are filled with blasphemy, as are many songs on these programs and across the radio dial.

Yet the media and most politicians deny there is a war on Christianity and most of the population doesn't recognize it either.

Yeah, this is why I got rid of satellite and cable. Now I get about 16 local channels, with old movies and classic TV shows like Andy Griffith and Star Trek, original, 1966 Batman and 1970's Wonder Woman. And Soupy Sales-remember him? Much preferred over such drivel.

[wretched]

These so called Bible based movies give me chills down my spine. I decided to try a couple like "Noah" and "Exodus" and they were as wrong as two boys kissing. I walked out of there feeling like I needed a shower. Satan loves him some roman paganism and hollywood.

​Yep and...I'm sure glad you got rid of the "dog" avatar

​My wife and I were talking the other day about how we have several channels but mainly only watch about three of them. Unfortunately, without the cable connection we have now, we couldn't pick up any of those channels. Without some form of "cable" we could only pick up two local channels (one NBC, the other CBS), and possibly sometimes pick up the PBS station.

I've enjoyed watching some Hogan's Heroes on TVLand, one other station sometimes has the old Batman on. We don't have Star Trek on any of the channels. They did just add a new channel, without even telling us, and it seems to play old movies. I stumbled across it a couple days ago while channel surfing as I waited for the local forecast to come on. I got to watch some of an old Lone Ranger movie from way back in the day.

​"(one NBC, the other CBS), and possibly sometimes pick up the PBS station." Yes, and I don't like the religious, social, or political preferences of these channels a large percentage of the time.

I'm seeing a formatting issue right now with this reply box increasing in size one line's worth then decreasing one line's worth...strange. I think it was because I had copied and pasted a different text size from John's post.

[Invicta]

I wouldn't want to watch anything with someone playing Jesus..

​We have a station called Retro, and it has a lot of the old shows like Hogan's Heroes, Batman, the old Superman, even the late 70's, early 80's Dr. Who with Tom Baker, one of the best runs in many opinions. I think a lot of the stations I get are local Reno channels. I live about 60 miles away, but I bought an antenna and attached it to my old satellite dish and it boosts the power of the antenna. If you look online you can see how to do that.

[John81]

We don't live close enough to any big city to get good reception from any more than an NBC affiliate and a CBS affiliate, both in very small cities about 90 miles away. On the rare occasions the PBS station comes in good enough to watch by antenna the picture is snowy.

I wish we got the Retro station, that sounds great. Tom Baker was my absolute favorite Dr. Who and I think that was indeed the best run of the series.
