Christians and anyone who seeks truth, beware. The narrator presumes a role of neutrality and uses a creative method of following events of that time with modern closed circuit television to help bring it to life, but that's where anything good stops. It garners your interest and drops your guard before blindsiding you with "facts" that the Bible is incorrect. It makes claims that Pilate sentenced Jesus from Herod's court, which would mean that he didn't send him to Herod as the Jews' problem as the Bible says, and then goes on to say that really it was Pilate after all who quick to sentence Jesus to crucifiction and not really the Jewish high priests and Sadducees as was clear from the biblical texts. According to this "documentary", the high priests were only concerned about keeping the peace and avoiding violence from the mobs of people that were flooding in during Passover, and it had nothing to do with their own wicked and prideful hearts that wanted nothing of Jesus or his teachings and only wanted things of this world and the esteem of men for their high "holy" positions.

And then the worst part. He interviews some author, claiming him to be the best Israel ever produced, who puts forth the idea that Judas didnt actually betray Jesus, but "handed him over" I order to avoid violence and to usher in the rule of Christ because he thought Christ would come down from the cross and show the world. He claims that there was a misinterpretation of the words for "handed over" that were mistranslated "betrayed". A brief read of Matthew 26: 20-30 will blow this asinine attempt to pervert this gospel right out of the water. And then while interviewing the author lol, the author has the audacity to state "don't blame me, blame the protagonist in my book; those are his words", in what is probably a nervous, yet ridiculous, deflection of blame. He stated that the gospels, in the way they are written, are the Chernobyl of the Jews in that it caused millennia of persecution of the Jews. Of this I don't argue, God is doing a work through His people, and that includes scattering and persecuting for past rebellions. But He is now bringing them together and pouring forth blessings upon them. I am a Christian and I am for Israel and the Jews (Genesis 12:3), but I do not excuse this narrator or this interviewed author for twisting the scriptures because of their personal bent.

Watch this only if you desire to sharpen your skills in discernment, and guard your heart well in the process with prayer.

The content in the program is extremely disappointing if not discussing. It would seems individuals are attempting to gain attention and give their different interpretation of scripture. Trying to change scripture at this point in time in my view is immoral, sinful, self serving. It has ruined what could have been a reasonable production. The sceens of ancient sites are interesting and deserve the two stars I have allocated.
