Why?
Why do the Christians who are
making Bible movies and television programs ALWAYS change what The Bible says.
They ALWAYS add, subtract and change the words and the events of The Bible.
Why? It makes no sense, The Word of GOD is so Rich with Life, Truth and
Excitement why do you feel the need to change anything?
The only thing that ever needs to
be changed is the language, nobody in The Bible spoke in 15th to 18th
century English! Only if you are trying to catch the essence of the original
languages of The Bible: Aramaic, Hebrew, Greek or Latin should you use anything
other than the modern language of the audience.
No facts or activities of the
people whose story is being told should be changed or deleted! NOTHING should
be added to the story; do you actually think that GOD believes you are better
at telling His Story than the people He chose? That GOD is now choosing you to
rewrite His Story?
Now there are many fictious
stories that center around a Bible character or event, like the woman brought
before JESUS accused of adultery. You can add a back story of how she got to
that point in her life, tell exactly what happened when she was brought before
JESUS and then tell a story of what happened to her after that encounter. Or how
about Jabez and his prayer; what led him to that day and how did GOD Bless him.
There are many potential fiction stories in the Bible* so that no one should
fictionalize stories about Moses, David, JESUS, Paul, etc. The Bible is written
so that you do not have to fill in the blanks, what is unknown is not important
so you do not have to fictionalize it.
One reason they get away with it
is they are making it into “Entertainment”. The Bible is Not Entertainment! It
is The Word of GOD – the printed representation of JESUS CHRIST The Living
Word! Who is The Only Begotten Son of GOD, The Lamb Who was slain before the
foundation of the earth, Who came to take away the sins of the world! We are
told by GOD throughout The Bible not to delete, add or change anything in His
Word, The Bible! There are severe consequences for doing that!
Another reason they get away with
it is that Christian television, Pastors and other Church leaders promote these
blasphemous movies and programs, they advertise them and promote them and some
even make money off of them by raising donations.
* In the eighties I knew a pastor
who wrote a fiction story of Simon the tanner, he wrote a back story to the
point of Peter staying in his home for a while, them told the future story of
him and his family, it was a good and entertaining Bible story showing GOD’s
Love and Power working in the lives of ordinary people’s lives. There was the 1953
movie “The Robe” an excellent movie about the robe that the Romans cast lots
for at His crucifixion, and how it affected the lives of the people who had it.
