Is it worth watching?

Care to give a pic of the ark like it was in the book?

the dimensions given are that of a rectangular prism. It was NOT a boat-shaped vessel with a rounded hull and pointed bow. It was never needed to be steered, its sole purpose was to FLOAT (and to house the animals inside) and that's it.

Read the KJV

No you're thinking of the NIV (not inspired version) and the ESV (evil satanic version). The KJV is received and inspired by God.

>The version funded by the jews?

thats the scofeld version. the original kjv names the jew in perpetuity. and was translated by the best minds in Europe from the originals in greek and Hebrew over 60 times.

Call me uneducated but who is King James and what does he have to do with the Bible?

Too many Caucs
It's a Cauc fest
Caucazoids

are you baiting right now

He authorized the translation of the Bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts into English. It is considered the gold standard of Bible translations into English.

Its meh. The Old Testament episodes have a bunch of unnecessary action movie violence (like for example, when they were depicting Sodom and Gomorrah, they had the three angels do some slow-mo matrix kung fu shit against the sodomites instead of just leaving like in scripture)
The New Testament episodes are meh. There have been much better and much more kino depictions of the gospels.

No, I literally never heard about them in any of my history lessons as a kid. I know because history was the only thing at school that remotely interested me.

Too many black actors

Unfortunately the public school system is a failure.

is this the one with king-fu angels and the devil that looks like Obama?

then yes

The Samson episode is kino, as well as David / Saul. Beware of thot

I think you will like this rundown on the history of Bible translations.

The King James Bible is considered the standard and towers above other translations not just for technical accuracy, but for the strength and majesty of it's prose. Nearly 100% of (English) idioms/expressions derived from the Bible come specifically from the King James Translation.

I've heard my Pastor say it too, and he doesn't listen to Steven Anderson. I think it's a fairly old joke.

Never read the bible here, why is there so much of a size difference between versions? are the smaller ones abridged or something?

>Never read the bible here, why is there so much of a size difference between versions? are the smaller ones abridged or something?

It could be that some are just the New Testament. Generally speaking most should be of comparable word-count unless you get paraphrase versions like "The Message".

Literally why would anyone even WANT to watch this shit. None of you have even read the book to begin with, nor could you be bothered.

Yikes.

t. person who hasn't read it once.

I prefer to read good books when I want fiction.

Name one fiction book written better than the Bible.

The Quran

Anderson's sermons are kino

>Is it accurate?
No for some reason it changes Lazarus' resurrection.

>a book with chapters not in chronological order.

>Anderson's sermons are kino

I used to binge them even when I was an atheist just because he was funny and really energetic and actually taught interesting sermons about the Bible/Christianity.

The KJV is well known mostly for it's beautiful prose being unmatched by other translations. But all translations have benefits and drawbacks regarding various passages and decisions made by translators.
A criticism of the KJV is it uses the Masoretic text (Hebrew language) completed around 1000ad as the Old Testament, versus the Septuagint (Hebrew translated into Koine Greek) which was completed 300BC. Arguments for the Septuagint include the quotations of Jesus and the apostles appear nearly word for word accurate (suggesting this is the Old Testament they preferred) and also the Septuagint aligning with a majority of the passages found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls.

The Bible miniseries is as close to accurate as you can find for an adaptation with a decent budget. You might find more accurate versions of specific books or figures, but they are typically plagued by very low budgets. That becomes distracting because you can't focus on the lines or story since you're staring at Halloween costume tier clothing and foam sets.

What's the difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament?

Old Testament covers The start of the universe and man, New testament covers the Jesus story and how he redeems us of original sin.

Someone needs to make a film based on Paul's life and ministry in Acts, I just read it for the first time and it was crazy how far he travelled and who he met.
I'd start it from Steven's speech in the synagogue and introduce Paul at Steven's stoning.

Fuck that - they need to make a Herodotus movie.

How much time was there between the creation of the Old Testament and the New testament? Were they written together? Was the Old Testament already a thing before Jesus?

Old Testament existed before Jesus but obviously wasn't called the old testament, it was what formed the jewish religion and Jesus was raised a jew, Jesus brought new teachings and the jews rejected that he was the son of god and so they never included most of the new testament in their beliefs.
When Jesus died, the disciples wrote up the new testament and formed Christianity.

>Old Testament existed before Jesus but obviously wasn't called the old testament
Wait but then how did the Old Testament come to be? Who wrote it and how did he know how the universe was created?

I think the scriptures of the Old Testament are sourced from the Torah, which is very old, predating Christ's time on Earth and ministry (He and the apostles reference scripture a lot in the New Testament).
The selection of books composing the New Testament was finalised hundreds of years after Christ's ascension, and together with the Old make up what we know as the Bible.
The Apocrypha is a compilation of books not included in the Bible, and includes some extra gospels.

Also, does that mean the Talmud contains the Old Testament?

The early prophets would write the stories and collected them over time.
God tells them.

Yeah and some of the books from the new testament.

Also, what is the most common way of reading the Bible? Do you read it like a normal book or is there some other way people do it? When people quote it they always have a name and other stuff after it instead of just the page number.

Most handsome Jesus tbqh. Would husbando.

If you're new to it I'd suggest starting with the Synoptic Gospels, that's the first four books of the New Testament.
They offer four different perspectives on Christ's life and ministry and include the familiar stuff (Nativity, sermons, Crucification, and so on).
Bible quotations follow the format:
>Book name
>Chapter number
>Verse number
So Matthew 1:1 is the first verse of the first chapter of Matthew. It's just a handy shorthand for reference given how much there is in the Bible.
I'm going through RCIA atm, I've only ever read Genesis, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John so I'm pretty new to it myself.

It's set up so that every book has a name: Book of Job, Book of Enoch, Book of Genesis etc.
Think of that as a thread title.

And then each paragraph is split up and then each sentence is numbered. Think of this as a post number.

So if I want to teach a specific point from the bible I can quote: Book of Genesis pp30 s10 - that's just an example but it's so anyone can compare editions because what if the book is big font- your page 30 might not be the same as my page 30.
Think of it like Yea Forums Chritanity thread#90 post number # Nice dubs.

In sunday school they take bits and pieces and reads sections, for normal reading just read what you like.
You don't need to read the bible or books in order. Some books cover the same things but with a different understanding or message.
I normally just read a few chapters a day because it is heavy to read and it's best to read with a guide, or look up the history afterwards. Think of it like a textbook rather than a fiction book.

Too bad he's a heretic.

There is "Paul the Apostle," it's very low budget and hard to enjoy as a result. There is also "Paul, Apostle of Christ," which I haven't seen.
The Apocrypha, or Please, is not totally considered Canon but it is useful knowledge as it is a bridge connecting the Old and New Testaments as it was written around 200 years before Christ.
They are a contentious issue as they were referenced by the apostles and are seen as very expectant to a Messiah, Wisdom of Solomon, especially. But the authorship and acceptance is not universally agreed upon, but I highly recommend reading them for contextual reasons. Wisdom of Solomon 18:15

There are tonnes of good stories that could be made into films. Why aren't they using this to do so?
