I couldn’t get past the first episode because it didn’t appeal to me in a spiritual way. I do know of others recommending it but also others who have recommended against it.
Like the other person I spoke to in this thread, you gotta give it at least 3 episodes, its slow to develop then takes off

Yes I'm sure. I'm not going to try and convince you though.
If you're "sure" then you were there or you have reliable extra-Bibilical sources stating that was the case. Which is it?

I actually prayed and sought the guidance of the Holy Spirit before watching it - I guess it was the answer for me to not proceed.

Not interested in arguing. Have a blessed day.

Its a bit strange as I watched with a friend and even downloaded the app to my phone but had to take it off as it was using up GBs and I didnt really feel the urge to watch the rest.

I know some people were raving about The Shack as well. I read the book but I didnt really get what others raved about in that story. So I didnt feel the need to go see that movie either.

One I have heard but not actually seen is Jesus Christ Superstar, though I suppose its the individual production that can make or break it.

I cant recall many other portrayals of Jesus except for the Jesus film. I havent seen the Passion of the Christ either.

I think there was one about Mary showing Jesus as a young boy who got beaten up. And The Nativity, I thought was ok. But Jesus was only a new born baby in that one.

Are there any others you would recommend. I recall seeing Noah movie but that wasnt really true to the story in the Bible I thought it embellished a little.
