House of David

Bond. Jesus Bond.

Which one though? lol

I feel like it's well done. The actors are good, the story line is close to the Biblical story. I haven't seen anything yet that was flat out wrong. Like any book put to a movie everyone will have an opinion. But as Christian movies go I'd say it's worth seeing. Unless you're dogmatic, then skip it.

Me too.

What did you think of the giants though? A little too much Fee Fi Fo Fum for me.

Yep. Each to their own. But without allowing for a little speculation and artistic license, you probably won’t enjoy a series like this.

I don't speculate on scripture is what I meant and maybe I could have said that better.

It seems you were speculating on my thoughts or abilities to appreciate something just because it is not found fast and hard or in doctrinal statements. Below from the first page.

well my husband and I are watching it; or were watching it cause the 1st season is over with the killing of the giant

call it entertainment cause that is basically what it is with some biblical references/liberty to assume. it's quite the production though. I have not watched The Chosen at all.

I don't know why they did that! The actor himself is huuuuge! lol They didn't need to make it that fake.

You're over thinking a simple post. Since we don't know what David looked like, the young actor is at least from the area. He's not blond and blue eyed. This makes utterly no difference to the Biblical story. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. Jesus has been portrayed as an Englishman. Who cares? Makes no difference to the story.

Good looking is good looking. Sorry you do not seem to understand that. If it makes no difference then, why are you trying to somehow make my simple answer to the question you asked, into a disagreement? You need to chill. smh

I don't understand why you are going on and on and think your opinion is somehow the one we all should agree with. Truly ridiculous and for me, just plain silly. Have a nice rest of your day

I would think most young women would consider the young actor good looking.

I don't understand why you are going on and on

My last post to you was supposed to be final on the subject.

and think your opinion is somehow the one we all should agree with

No where was that said. I said we don't know and it doesn't matter to the story.

. Truly ridiculous and for me, just plain silly.

It is, so let's drop the subject.

Reminds me of that reporter who found the lady on whose life "The Sound Of Music" was based. He asked her what she thought of the movie.
"It's a nice story. But it's not MY story."

Nancy Wake (WW2 SOE agent) on the movie "The White Mouse": "I did not have time to cook eggs for the men...".

You state as fact, things you can't possibly know. You've offered your opinion with absolutely nothing to support it.

All you need to do is read the whole Psalm to know that this was the Psalm written by David after Nathan's "You are the man" chastisement.

Is a famous lesson pontificated upon by almost every conservative pastor in America and abroad.

Kinda surprised you don't know about it.

-don't try to make this about me.... it's a point you are insisting upon. I'm familiar with all the Psalms.

You said >>

In the 51st Psalm David says he was conceived and born in sin.
It's a poetic way (hyperbole) of David claiming to be very wrong. It does not mean he was an illegitimate child born out of wedlock.

And I said-- that's an opinion, not a fact. It remains so. I don't care if every chicken farmer in Kansas agrees with every conservative pastor in America and every goat herder in Afghanistan..... it would still be an opinion.

David (in the 51st Psalm) is lamenting that he was conceived in sin..... which certainly can be a reference to an illegitimate birth. And that is what these film makers have seized upon (aka the topic of this thread). They press the point over and over and over. Why?

-because it is a Jewish story about a Jewish king and that is the Jewish tradition-- the common cultural, religious, historic and accepted belief about David-- and the line of David. It is their belief. And it's their story. Christians are just telling it.

The producers have received praise for their production values and faithfulness to Jewish traditions and the Christian biblical narrative.

Kinda surprised you don't realize this.

But instead you want to press the point that in the 51st David's birth was legitimate I guess, without knowing a single thing about the circumstances, and while ignoring all the Jewish traditions and teachings and David's own words that say otherwise. Maybe you hold to the ideology that David is saying that all babies are born sinful, from conception? Is that what you are insisting?
