The Bible Series « Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's History Channel Series Coming 3.3.13 The Bible Series

YAY!@ HISTORY channel

theyre the ones who did the documentary on hell and informed me the original hell had no devils, demons, or tortures. It was plain and boring. Literally boring. Thats the worst of it, Youd be bored there.

if its on during walking dead though it gets the axe

Hades or Sheol?

I dont know what youre talking about

Ah hell...

Well, you got different hells. The popular cultural idea of fire and brimstone and sulfur? A lot of that is Islamic in nature. The bible's new testament offered very little description of hell compared to the Quran. It did though involve lots of torture and fire. Thing is, it was also called "Hades" in many translations. The idea of Hades however is the Ancient Greek version of hell. Their version was pretty boring for most people, but it wasn't so much a hell as it was where all souls go when they died. Sometimes people were tortured for all eternity, but there was also a special section for distinguished heroes.

Sheol is the old testament version of Hell. It's essentially a void of nothingness. Which is most likely what you're referring to.

Hell and the lake of fire are in fact different places.

One is a kin to death row where the condemned await their trial, the other is post white throne judgement and u serve ur sentence

they were basically talking about the evolution of hell and how over the years it changed from a not so bad place, to the worst possible place imaginable where obsessive religious zealots maniacally tried to describe it to every last unbelievable detail

How did you like it? And what have you learned?

Part 1

Very well done. Not many complaints as far as being true to form

The artistic direction was good as well

i didnt like it or not like it, i just sawr it

i learned that christianity slowly increased the scaryness of hell over time. Atleast its what the documentary said.

If thats what u got from the first part u should work on your attention span
all it was is
a recap of noah to moses. the birth of the israelite people
and a few things they experienced on the way to bcoming
an established people group foo

^^im talking about the documentary about hell, not the bible one

Oh gotcha. my apologies.

I'm out on Sunday nights usually. I watched Vikings at 10pm (same channel) after I got home, but skipped out on the replay of The Bible. I'll probably check it out online this week at some point just to give it a chance, because I watched like 30 seconds of it before tuning out.
