A minimalist reading of scripture will reveal that ABC's recent tv movie, The Ten Commandments was irreverent and inaccurate. I voted early (and I'm not talking about American Idol!) by turning the set off and refusing to see and therefore be influenced by any high dollar commercials during this shows airtime. The writers made up some interesting episodes of early meetings between the child Moses and his birth mother at the Egyptian princess' behest. This isn't mentioned in the Bible. What is mentioned however is a curse in Revelation which may or may not pertain to that one book or as some interpret, the entire Bible. The curse is for anyone who adds to or detracts from the sacred text. Now, my God is about love and mercy. I wouldn't want to get involved in any silly arguments about Him being powerful enough to make a rock even He couldn't lift but one thing God truly cannot do is go back on His word. Could there be trouble in ABC's future? I surely hope not because I just love the Extreme Home Makeover. They do such good work for such deserving people. I'm reminded presently thought that our good works are like filthy rags to the unfathomable grace of God. ABC - it's not hard to make a reverent Bible-based show that knowledgeable believers can enjoy. Just ask Mel Gibson how.
MME
