Somehow, I get the feeling - this will only follow Hollywood's version of the Bible. With lot's of gotcha's for how bad God is - like why he created "Super Gonorrhea", etc...

There could be a positive side to this, generating more conversations on the subject.

Of course the sway will be HOLLYWOOD that is what's happening. That is where all the knowledge is. Otherwise why would their political opinions be sought out for headlines?

me 'n y'all ain't gonna decide what is in the script, I just betcha! Shocked Embarassed

I never watch TV so I will wait here for the reviews. Cool

What was your takeaway from what you saw? I haven't seen it yet, but I'm assuming the chance of a CBS sitcom proclaiming the true gospel is probably pretty low, but I am curious about the exact approach they take to mangling the gospel, lol.		 [Insert Acts Pun Here]

The program sounded like a 'Religious Cheers', I'd probably like it. But I haven't watched tv more than 4 hours in the last 10 years. I cannot hear that fast, nor read that fast if it is closed captioned.

I just can' believe OTCP is so judgemental! Shocked Shocked Shocked I bet the priest and the Rabbi have REAL DD's behind their names too! Shucks ABC can't do nothing rite! But they is tryin', evidently Fox don't have no Bible programs! Embarassed Embarassed Wink

I don't know Hannity either, but I don't think he is a Sitcom. I should have made that cclearerer. Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed Embarassed

Sorry DD Cool

YOu guys are so blessed being able to watch TV and learn this stuff. We have two BRAND NEW (Two years ago) of them new TV here in the motor home and they are never on.

My problem is, I am probably tied to this PC as much or more than others are tied to TV. Embarassed

"
BUT, but" (to quote Aaron). But, but what I read from Fox is much better than I read other wise.

I do wish more folk would pay attention to 'Sean-of-the-South.' He is mostly Good News. Cool

I just now watched the pilot on CBS online. It was humorous. I realize it was probably just for added comic effect, but the priest implies that living biblically means one is obligated to keep the Law of Moses. I think bradfreeman would get a kick out of the show.

It is important to note that the pilot at least does not represent the man as having had a conversion experience. I have no idea how the rest of the season will develop, but the pilot appears to be a guy who is a lapsed Catholic simply trying to use the Bible as a moralistic guide to a better life. It was pretty funny when he interpreted the scriptural command about stoning adulterers to mean he should hit his adulterous coworker in the head with a rock.

I think that clips from the show could be used to show how absurd trying to live ‘biblically’ is if one lacks a basic grasp on important things like Christian doctrine, the New Covenant, and how to properly interpret and apply the Scriptures, especially the Old Testament Scriptures in light of the New Covenant.

I thought it was great.
It is not theology...it is no apologetics.
It is culture's view on God not Christianity.

I thought it was funny...in particular the scene where he "stoned the adulterer."

I'd have to go back and check the notes I took during lectures, but I'm pretty sure that's a sort of untranslatable nuance in the Greek... there's a similar textual nuance in the command to love your neighbor that exempts people who talk loudly on Bluetooth devices.		 [Insert Acts Pun Here]

It is secular culture's view of you, Tom. If that is hilarious, then I guess continue to laugh.		 Acts-pert Poster

It is wide open Moralistic Therapeutic Deism...I'm not caught off guard in the least. It is what it is. I do not look to the world or culture to validate my faith or biblical worldview.

I thought it was funny and will watch it again next week.
And I suspect I will be using clips from it in church very soon.		 Golf Cart Mafia Capo Famiglia

What I know about this program I will learn here. BUT for a fact it will not be written to win folks to Christ. BUT I guarantee it it stays on the air Fundamental people will be drawn into Bible discussions. I hope it hangs in there. I think I could watch it and laugh also.

One thing we as Christians start doing when something like this comes up is try to fit it into 'OUR VIEW OF THE BIBLE' and common sense tells you that ain't gonna happen. I suggest you watch every once in awhile if it hunts. Just to be able to honestly engage your friends or real critics.

Ever watch the Waltons? The whole family goes to church, carries Bibles etc. Daddy does not. Says he feels close to nature out on the mountain, and if there is a God he did a masterful job.

I had several very good discussions with friends because of this. It caused me to seek better info than I had. It may not have helped my friends, but it caused me to search the scriptures more.

When it first started I felt like I had accidentally found a gun fight and all I had was a knife, Embarassed Embarassed Wink
