Historical, Theological Errors & Blatant Omissions of "The Bible" Miniseries - Part 4

Opening Banter and Travel Troubles

It's time for another edition of fighting for the faith. Tuesday March 26.

2013 at some computer difficulties yesterday. I think all things are resolved now.

Thank you for tuning in. You're listening to fighting for the faith. My name is Chris Roseboro. I am your servant in Jesus Christ. And this is the program that dishes up a daily dose of biblical discernment the goal of which Help you to think biblically help you to think critically.

Help you compare what people are saying in the name of God to the Word of God well because there's no shortage of really crazy things being said about God and Well being depicted about God on like well major history channel miniseries is you know Like the Bible in fact, that's what we're gonna be dedicating today's episode of fighting for the faith to discussing.

Before we get to that though want to thank everybody who came out over the weekend to Kongsvinger Lutheran Church in Oslo, Minnesota and in it was fantastic meeting many of the listeners of the program and you got some people traveled long distances to come out to a Kongsvinger and here are My series of lectures on how to not be bamboozled schnookered or hoodwinked.

You know that yeah, I forget the exact name of the the lecture now, but you get the idea and yes, we did record it by the way, but want to thank also the Good folks over at Kongsvinger Lutheran Church in Oslo, Minnesota for hosting the event.

This is the second year in a row that I've Been to Kongsvinger to speak and it was a fantastic turnout good to see some some faces that some people that were there both times last year as well as this year and It was it was a great event good turnout great people and in fact on Saturday If you were following me on Facebook and Twitter I sent out an Instagram that of what my sunrise looked like my wife and I we arrived late on Friday at Grand Forks Airport and In fact, our flight was we had a little bit of a delay, which was rather interesting.

But the story is Somewhat frustrating when we when we we you know, we had those like a two jump or one jump, you know. Yeah, we went from Indianapolis to Minneapolis and then from Minneapolis to Grand Forks and when we arrived in Well when we arrived in Minneapolis the plane that we were supposed to take off on had Mechanical difficulties and then the plane the plane that they flew in from who knows where?

Came in and apparently the pilot had failed to sign off on a TSA security screening document apparently they scan and screen every every aircraft on a daily basis and This is what the TSA does and the pilot the pilot who has the plane first has to sign it and he didn't sign It and so we were kindly asked to Do you Deboard the plane so that they TSA could do their work.

So we we ended up getting in late pretty late on Friday night into Grand Forks and You gotta love it when the one of the major reasons for your delay is somebody failed to sign paperwork. Those are the those are people who I think should be punished sharply, but anyway so but Saturday morning woke up.

We stayed at at the home of one a couple of the members of Kongsvinger and they own they own a really large farm and so we were staying at a farm and I sent out the Photograph of what my morning look, you know, but my sunrise look like because I was putting some finishing touches on some things Early that morning and again, the the the turnout was great.

The event was great. It was fantastic to see the people and And then Sunday morning it taught at Kongsvinger as well and and then my wife and I headed home on Sunday and When we arrived now, this is funny.

Okay, you think Grand Forks, Minnesota? You know, they still have several feet of snow on the ground and When we arrived back home in Indianapolis, we arrived home into one of the well worst spring snow storms that Indianapolis has had in like decades and We got down we landed just before the snow really started getting thick and That meant that it would take us a little bit of time to get home and boy did it a couple hours just driving from the From the Indianapolis Airport to my home and you know with average speeds of like 15 20 miles an hour and boy with a condition Slick whiteout condition.

It was it was really tense. And so but we finally got home and when I got into the studio yesterday we well we had a major computer meltdown and That prevented me from being able to get my program Recorded properly and so we ended up having to make the call it to not do an episode yesterday, which It's like being sidelined.

You know, it's well, maybe if you were like, you know, if I was a racecar driver It's like having a a problem with your with your racecar you know, you want to get out of the pit and you can't get out of the pit because they got to replace something and Anyway, all of that is just to get you up to speed as to what's going on here at fighting for the faith in pirate Christian radio so you can be up to speed and Let's well talk about what we're gonna do on today's edition of fighting for the faith.

Today's episode is dedicated to a singular topic. Just like last week's episode is was dedicated to a singular topic. Today's episode is dedicated to a singular topic and that is week for the episode 4 of the history channel miniseries the bobble.

Yeah, I ended up having to watch this thing three times now normally I only have to watch it twice. But this one was a little bit different and and the reason why is because there were some subtler problems with this one.

Whereas in previous installments of the history channel miniseries the bobble It was pretty blatant what was going on this one was well For lack of a better way of putting it was subtly subversive at many different points and as a result of that Today's episode some of my critiques may seem like I'm being nitpicky.

But I'm not okay. And let me in my defense and before we even get started in my defense. Let me say this and that's that historically it's been proven based upon church history that the difference between orthodoxy and heresy Has sometimes come down to the difference of just one word and in the case of fighting the Aryan heresy if you're familiar with the the not just Christological the the arguments regarding the doctrine of the Trinity the denial of the doctrine of the Trinity By the Aryans when it when it came down to the difference between orthodoxy versus heresy.

Well, it didn't come down to just the difference between one word came down to the difference of one letter the letter Iota that's the Greek letter Iota in fact you know it you know, it's the difference between homoousius versus homoousius of like substance or same substance and Man.

In this particular episode like I said there. There's some things that I liked in fact. There's one scene in particular that I thought they did well, okay? You know it was it was like it started off with in fact the it started off with the scene that I thought oh.

Well, maybe this one's going to be different in fact it was the the scene where they showed Jesus healing the paralytic I mean and full-on telling the guy he forgave his sins and the Pharisee getting all bent out of shape about It and I was thinking wow okay, so now we have a mention of the forgiveness of sins.

I wonder what this means and then you know they move from that scene into the scene of the calling of Levi Matthew the tax collector, and I was thinking boy. You know this is not bad. It kind of compelling the way they you know they they didn't Manipulate a few of the details and had Jesus telling the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector in front of Matthew's tax booth so to speak and it was all good up until the punchline and Then from that point forward it just was downhill from there and so.

Yeah, and so like I said today's episode it might seem like I'm being cranky. It might seem like I'm being nitpicky, but again. It's the theology. It's all about the theology in this particular mini-series and as you're gonna see from the the the 13th disciple who will be talking about.

The the innovation that they came up with they've they added literally I'm wondering if they get up from the Gnostic Gospels they added a 13th disciple and Apparently she's supposedly Mary Magdalene. But because they you know they clearly are trying to make her part of the inner circle.

They have her literally in the boat on the Sea of Galilee during the big storm where Jesus was walking on the water. She was there. She's part of the core group certain of Certain lines that were ascribed only to the disciples well.

They got her saying those lines, and I mean she's you know. You know it's a mess and so I because they they named her Mary. And they're trying to make it appear like she's Mary Magdalene. It makes me wonder if you did they get a take a page out of Dan Brown's book that you know the Da Vinci Code.

You know you can't exact it. It's just really weird and awkward. But I refuse to call her Mary Magdalene in fact I've renamed her and the reason I won't call her Mary Magdalene is out of respect for our Sister in Christ the true Mary Magdalene who is you know in the very presence of Christ in the heavenly kingdom?

I will not besmirch her name by using it that way so from this point forward I will only be referring to this 13th disciple as Regina and That name is on purpose, okay. That name is a perk in fact. It's extremely intentional if you're familiar with the ABC You know program called Once Upon a Time the Wicked Witch.

Her name is Regina, and so that's the name that I have given to this character. That's that Mark Burnett Roma Downey and her theological advisors Rick Warren Joel Osteen and TD Jake's and others have concocted and What I found duplicitous about all of this is that in the weeks leading up to this week.

They never once in any of the previews showed Regina. In fact, it's like she just pops onto the scene today, and it makes me wonder okay. The conspiracy theorist in me, and I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist by the way.

But it just makes me wonder. Do you remember a few weeks ago the big flap and furor over the story of Samson how it was portrayed by a very large? Black guy okay, there was a lot of people upset about that and a lot of debate and controversy about.

About the guy who played Samson and when then last week. Big huge debate about whether or not Satan looked like a Barack Obama which by the way you're really so I think so. But it just makes me wonder if they put you know if they did those on purpose.

I know this sounds crazy. But it makes you wonder if they did those on purpose so that by the time we got to this episode. People were just tired and worn out. Fighting over Samson and Barack Obama and all that kind of stuff that now we've got Regina the 13th disciple.

Showing up on the scene that you know people are battle weary and don't want to keep arguing about this lame Miniseries and so as a result of it. You know people are at this point going yeah. Yeah, just another innovation who cares who cares who cares you understand what I'm saying.

So it just it makes you wonder just makes me wonder a lot so since we are going to be spending the day. Doing this singular topic like we did last week I think it's best if we just get into it and that requires me to play our update music here is Eric Clapton's.

Change the world all right. That's our mellow groove.

The Pharisees, Jesus, and the Claim of a New Way

Update music for the history channel miniseries. The bobble so you got the setup, okay, so. What happened in last night's. Not last night's the night before his episode? Oh, man, it's yeah, wish I could have done it on yesterday, but stupid computer problem anyway.

What happened on this week's installment of the bobble it covered basically from? Jesus it's basically the teaching of Jesus. Starting with the healing of the paralytic all the way up to Jesus's arrest and trial.

And you know the cliffhanger is you know what's gonna happen to Jesus. Well. We all know if you've read the story, but we're gonna be taking a look again like I've pointed out before. We're gonna be looking at the theology of this thing because it's the theology that's driving the changes.

It's the theology that's driving the edits. It's the theology that's driving the rewrites, and so what I want to do. We'll first take a listen to the first narration after they give you the summary of what you know what it is.

That has happened in the weeks past. The narrator comes on and kind of sets up the scene for you, and so here's the narrator setting up scene Numero uno and with that here we go in the poor backwater of Galilee.

Revolution is coming. For generations the people of Israel have been guided by the Pharisees guardians of the Jewish faith.

Now you hear that guy teaching in the back, that's a Pharisee in fact. They've got this guy in full Pharisee regalia with a ginormous flack of Terry sitting right there on his forehead. And so you know he's you know teaching a whole bunch of people including kids.

And it makes me wonder you know this isn't the synagogue at me, and they didn't have Sunday school back then. No. It was Saturday school, so it makes me wonder if this is an outdoor Saturday school for you know the Pharisee teaching here and what you're gonna hear is you know he's basically admonishing the people law law lots of law and.

And then you're gonna hear eventually The kids in the class spotting Jesus. It's Jesus, and then they're gonna end up Fleeing Saturday school with this Pharisee and going to hear what Jesus has to say.

Yeah, listen.

And his statues. The Pharisees believe the well-being of the nation depends on strictly observing the laws God gave to Moses. They are loved and admired by the people. You should do what is right, and what is good.

In sight of the Lord.

But Jesus offers a new way.

But Jesus offers a new way see I hear something like that. I'm going huh. So we got the Pharisees teaching yeah, you got a key if you want to stay in the land. You got to keep the law well. It's this is definitely a legalistic reaction to the fact that the children of Israel found themselves in exile as a result of their Idolatry and rebellion against the Mosaic Covenant and so their solution was like the opposite error if you would but so here we got the narrator saying but Jesus offers a new way a new way.

And there you go the crowd has spotted Jesus, and now they're heading off to go listen to him. You know that poor Pharisee. I mean he didn't even stand a chance. I mean who can compete with Vidal Sassoon Jesus.

I mean he's his hair is so dreamy, and you know he doesn't even have any split ends and See that's the other part about this that I think is well. More than a little bit disturbing. Okay, and in fact Work with me here one of the things I've been claiming is that this Jesus.

And you know the doll Sassoon Jesus. He is a well He doesn't look Jewish at all in fact. He's just kind of like He looks like a 1960s hippie. You know with better capped hair you better put it this way with better hair products.

He looks like a 1960s hippie with better hair products who you know obviously felt that it was more important to be part of the commune than to actually go into a life of Being a hair model anyway. The the issue is is that they have him in a bathrobe while it's all the bad guys all the bad guys Are dressed up like you know in traditional?

Jewish attire. Okay, and it's just the bad guys who are wearing the tallit and Talit by the way is the prayer shawl and then and that's just not even Remotely accurate and the reason I know this for fact is in fact I talked about this on Saturday at my cup at the conference at Kongsvinger I took a little bit of time to actually walk through and work through Jesus's healing of the woman who had a issue of blood you know she had suffered for 12 years and In the in the Greek text it's it very clear that she came up to touch the quote hem of his garment.

That's how it's translated into English when you take a look at the details that are given by Matthew on this the the the thing that she touched was the tzitzit which is the Which were the tassels on the corners that were commanded by the Levitical law which tells you if Jesus is you know if he has the tzitzit going on in his in his attire as.

Any good Jewish boy should back in the first century that that means that Jesus also was prone to wearing a tallit and. And and they don't ever show him in that attire. Which is not good. At all okay, so you know you got Jesus kind of like basically a free-form hippie.

Running around teaching a new way. And it's it's all that you know the Pharisees are the ones who are they're the ones who oh you know they're the only ones who will look anything remotely Jewish and It's not right in fact when they have Jesus teaching in the synagogue later in episode 1 he's not doing what a Jew would do in the synagogue upon the reading of the text and it whereas everybody else wouldn't would again they put the tallit over their heads and Not Jesus, so there's something really screwy going on here like the theology in this thing is uber bad.

But let me let me fast forward to the second narration. We'll listen to that. There's nothing majorly wrong here. But I want to continue to allow you to hear what's going on and and just so you know what happens.

You know. The scene is set up. Jesus begins teaching about the parable of the mustard seed. And then they lower the paralytic through the roof and Jesus forgives his sin the Pharisee has a conniption fit.

Jesus heals him and he's able to walk and. And and then he lets the Pharisee know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins. Perfectly it was a legit scene. It was actually well done. I like the way that they did it, okay?

But that was the only part that I liked and I thought I was gonna like the second scene was which was the calling of Levi the tax collector who by the way wrote the Gospel of Matthew and. And well as you're gonna hear well, let me we'll get there.

I'm getting ahead of myself. I do that sometimes. Listen into the second narration so we can at least keep an idea of what's going on here in the Bible here.

We go with a growing number of disciples. Jesus moves from town to town. Teaching about God's kingdom.

Yeah, and they show Jesus, you know kind of traipsing around the countryside with his 12 disciples and Regina. Regina's in the group at this point and no explanation as to what's going on and so they breeze into a town and When they upon getting there you've got Jesus his own.

Disciples not thrilled, you know, they show the tax collectors collecting taxes and Jesus's disciples are. You know, they're repulsed by them. They're not thrilled with them. The the Pharisee happens to be there as well apparently he's chasing him from town to town kind of like a stalker and well, then Jesus tells the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and.

Like I said, this is great up to one point and at one point it gets really bad because of a wrong word. And that word is important. In fact, if you want to have your Bibles open, I think we're gonna be looking at Luke chapter 18.

I'll give you the address here in a minute if you want to put your finger in, you know, Luke 17 18 in that neighborhood. I'll give you the verses here in a minute, but let's listen in to how this scene look unfolds.

So, yeah, there we go. He one of the disciples upset now, they're all Jews. How can they how can our own people work for Rome?

Collaborators, let's move on a stinking vermin. You should keep your distance from.

Now that was the Pharisee. That was a Pharisee telling Jesus that the tax collectors are stinking vermin and you should keep your distance from them. Okay, so Jesus's disciples and the Pharisee have something in common.

They don't like tax collectors. We continue. Two men.

Went to the temple to pray one a Pharisee and.

The other one the tax collector. Now Jesus has just looked at Matthew Levi the tax collector and has his full attention and Levi looks touched. I mean, he you know, he's really hanging on every word that Jesus says and so far so good.

You know, I it's an interesting innovation to do it this way. But I mean again the theology is what we're listening for. We continue the Pharisee prayed.

God, I thank you that I'm not like other men. Thieves.

Adulterers or this tax collector didn't even look up to heaven. Mercy on me.

Okay, what was really interesting about that and you can't see it because it's radio is that they had Matthew the tax collector. Saying the words along with Jesus his lips were moving and so they were saying it at the same time have mercy on me I'm a sinner.

It was in and you could tell Matthew was really up, you know, it really penitent he was crying. You know, there were tears in his eyes and I thought okay, this is well, this is interesting. I liked the first scene.

So far, I'm liking this scene and then we get well to the punchline. Yeah, now there's the problem okay now I've told you like at the beginning of the program sometimes the difference between heresy and Orthodoxy comes down to one word in the case of the Arian heresy.

It came down to one letter iota Luke chapter 18 is where we're gonna be Luke chapter 18. We're gonna start at verse 9. Okay. Now what you just heard Jesus say is that the Lord blessed the tax collector.

But not the Pharisee. So the verb in question is the verb blessed. Okay. Because in this retelling of the story the theology has changed. Well using a different verb and when we look at this story in the in the biblical text We're gonna note the fact that it's a different verb that's used.

Luke chapter 18 verse 9 Jesus also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and they treated others with contempt. Two men went into the temple to pray one a Pharisee the other tax collector the Pharisee standing by himself prayed thus God I thank you that I am NOT like other men extortioners the unjust Adulterers are even like this.

Well tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get. But the tax collector standing far off would not even lift up his eyes to heaven but beat his breast saying God be merciful to me a sinner verse 14 Jesus says I tell you this man.

That would be the tax collector went down to his house. Justified. Uh-huh. That's from the Greek verb. Dk. Oh, okay Justified and by the way Justified is not the same thing as blessed. Far far from it Justified.

Dk. Oh, this is a legal term and Jesus is literally saying that the tax collector left the temple declared Righteous what this passage is teaching is Salvation by grace alone through faith alone by trust in in this particular case God's mercy.

Okay now for us looking back now through the cross we see that that's Justification to be declared righteous by grace alone through faith alone by Christ's work alone. Okay, so what what this passage is teaching is salvation by grace through faith.

But by changing the verb that like they did in the movie the Bible to blessed. Rather than teaching salvation as a gift what they're doing is they're teaching God's blessing by works in this particular case.

The work is to humble yourself. God will bless you if you humble yourself. That's not what this text is teaching. This text is teaching salvation to be declared righteous justification by grace through faith not Salvation through you doing the work of quote.

Humbling yourself. You back this up a little bit again. Listen in. Bless the tax collector not the Pharisee. Anyone who praises himself? Will be humbled and anyone who humbles himself will be praised.

Matthew.

Okay, so whoever humbles himself will be praised. God blesses you if you humble yourself. It's not what this text says and no, I'm not being nitpicky. I'm not being nitpicky at all. It doesn't surprise me that the theological advisors Warren Osteen and TD Jake's would want to change the verb from Dkio to justify to bless.

Doesn't surprise me at all. In fact if they had any true Theological advisors who understood salvation by grace alone through faith alone by Christ work alone. They would have keyed in on that verb bless and said no no, no.

No, it's justified and it's important that you keep it as such but none of them pick that up. So what ends up happening is is that Jesus here calls Matthew the tax collector and he becomes part of the band Of Jesus's disciples.

Okay, the twelve men and then the one woman Regina but listen to the Pharisee he's gonna have kittens here over the fact that Jesus is calling this This tax collector to be part of his disciples. Listen in.

Yeah, that's what Jesus does because there ain't nobody who ain't a sinner. That's bad English, but you get what I'm saying? Okay, so what we'll do now is we'll fast forward we'll fast forward to. To where we get to first really hear from Regina the 13th disciple and What what happens is they go to a commercial break and when they come back from the commercial break you have the disciples sitting and talking to each other about this their new disciple that Jesus is called Matthew and Judas and Thomas are complaining about Matthew and you're going to hear John Jesus one of Jesus's disciple John and Regina giving us a little bit of the theology of this particular Mini-series see if you can spot the bad theology in the statement, but here we go.

There's not a thread of good in any of them. Thomas Jesus has not come for the good.

But for the sinners, okay, that's John. Jesus hasn't come for the good. He's come for the sinners and here comes Regina talking to Thomas about how he shouldn't be complaining about the new disciple Matthew.

He gives people a second chance. We should too. Yeah, let me play that again. Listen to what she says. Jesus does. He gives people a second chance. We should too. So Jesus gives people a second chance.

We should too. Where have we heard this theology before. Answer Rick Warren. Rick Warren is the person who has put out this idea that Jesus is all about giving people a second chance. He calls it, you know, in fact, I call it his mulligan theory of the atonement that Jesus died to give you a mulligan.

Okay, this is not the biblical gospel. Jesus is not about giving people second chances or third chances or fourth chances because here's the idea. If Jesus is all about giving people second chances. Well got to keep in mind.

You obviously blew it your first chance. So it's up to you to get it right on the second chance. That's not the gospel. That's actually all law. In fact, it's it's practically Pharisaical, okay and here's the reason why because the good news tells us that Christ died for our sins and that when we're brought to Repentant faith and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

Then we are clothed with the righteousness of Christ. In other words, Jesus got it, right the first time for us. He's not calling you to a second chance he's calling you to believe in him and trust in him for the forgiveness of your sins and he Clothes you with his own righteousness.

So you get what I'm saying there big difference so first real theological line from Regina the 13th disciple is well bad theology the bad theology that We've covered here at fighting for the faith and that's Rick Warren's false teaching.

Regarding Jesus supposedly coming to give people second chances. I detect his. Mmm, I detect his influence upon her theology rather distinctly all right, we're gonna pause right there and pay some bills and when we come back, we're gonna continue with our coverage our critique and in-depth analysis of Week four of the History Channel miniseries the Bible and the 13th disciple.

Siri what is your analysis of the sermon Rick Warren preached this past Sunday?

Let me think about that. Here you go. Rick Warren quoted 15 Bible verses out of context using 11 different translations and paraphrases. Even an iPhone utilizing artificial intelligence is smart enough to know that there is less than a 1 in 10 ,000 chance that Rick Warren was preaching the truth.

Siri can you explain your analysis of Rick Warren sermon to somebody who is a fan of Star Wars?

You have a greater chance of successfully navigating an asteroid field and you do of hearing Rick Warren accurately teach the scriptures.

Have you ever prayed a Sun standstill prayer?

Why would I do something as silly as that? The story of the Sun standing still in Joshua chapter 10 is not about prayer. Looking in Joshua chapter 10 to learn how to pray is like asking your Macintosh to teach you how to use Windows 7.

What do you think of Joel Osteen's sermons? Is this a joke? No, this is not a joke, I'd really like to know what you think of Joel Osteen sermons.

Words like junk food cotton candy and cancer causing artificial sweeteners come to mind.

Four six zero. Three eight, okay now moving along the next scene that comes up in the in the in the bobble is that well. Actually, it's not quite the next scene, but it's the feeding of the 5 ,000 now what I thought interesting is is that they took some license with the story of the woman who was caught in the act of adultery and rather than having Jesus calmly writing in the sand as The text says they have Jesus, you know, the woman's brought out to him and you know, he they said, you know.
