[I]My Review below only covers a few discrepancies, as I have not seen the whole movie in years and I do not want to see it again. Recently it aired on TBN and I watched part of it, but I had to turn it off, because it was such an inaccurate depiction of Jesus and the Scriptures. [/I] This movie gives little attention to Jesus and His miracles, and instead focuses more on other people, such as John the Baptist, Barrabas, Mother Mary, and King Herod. In fact, Jesus doesn't even enter the movie until far into it. John the Baptist is given many more scenes than necessary, IMO because the actor who played John was well-known at the time. Most of the scenes with John the Baptist didn't even happen according to Scripture. The miracles of Jesus were either omitted, stolen, or undermined by omitting Jesus's person from the scenes or changing what actually happened. Example: Lucius, Roman Soldier, reads a report to Herod reporting the miracles of Jesus, but none of them are shown. Example: The first miracle of Jesus healing a sick person does not show the Lord, only the shadow of his arm. One scene shows Jesus visiting John the Baptist while he is imprisoned. Jesus talks to a Roman Soldier says He has come to free John the Baptist. Then the Roman soldier allows Jesus to see John, and John asks the Lord for His blessing. [I]This never happened. [/I] According to Scripture, Jesus never visited John while he was imprisoned. While in prison, John sent word through his disciples to ask if Jesus was "the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" Matthew 11:1-4; Luke 7:20 The scene where Jesus first meets the Apostle Simon Peter does not include the miracle of catching the huge net of fish, which is what convinced Peter to follow Jesus. Instead the movie shows Jesus meeting Peter for the first time, saying, "Peter the Rock upon which I will build", and asks Peter to come with Him. [I]This is totally inaccurate. [/I] According to Scripture, Jesus did not say that to Peter until far into His Ministry after many miracles had been performed. Jesus asked the Apostles who they thought He was. Peter replied, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said that God had revealed that to Peter and because of it, Peter was the rock that He would build His church on, and said He would give Peter the keys to heaven, because of this revelation. Matthew 16:15-19. Jesus delivers a man from demon possession...In this scene, Jesus never speaks. The man is running around violently, he sees Jesus, runs to Him, falls down and is freed of the demons. [I]This is Scripturally incorrect.[/I] According to Scripture, Jesus delivered different men from demon possession. Each time the demons spoke to Jesus, and the Lord ordered them to leave. Examples: Mark 5:1-11; Mark 14-21. [COLOR=#ffcc00]I'm not the only one who was critical of this film.
