There's absolutely zero proof Jesus existed. Conversly, the basic message (although plagerized by many older Eastern theologies & common sense) of treat one as one would like to be treated is great. I didn't buy this & if mankind does not do away with magical thinking & myths like money & nationalism we won't have a planet for people to pray from. Add in religion & we inevitably our species will be extinct. Ya a white bearded omnipotent judge in the sky! Sure! Google's got that covered

The ones who have given/gave this false doctrine 5stars, are the very same ones whom only pick up a bible when profit(ess) Hobo Jones is reading from it delivering one of their predicated sermons. The bible clearly states the repercussions of false doctrine in Deuteronomy 4:2, and also found in Revelation 22:18,19. It would behoove all believers in Yeshua Hamashiach (Jesus Christ) to take heed to 2 Timothy 2:15-17. I assure you ALL, rating this 5 stars...won't get you into heaven!! Shabbat Shalom

This show depends on melodramaticism, inaccuracy, and taking advantage of people's faith in order to pull in viewers. It's manipulative of the director and producers and I disagree with their method. To prove a point, History Channel probably wouldn't run another series based on the Qur'an or Hebrew beliefs (which go farther than just the First Testament) because it wouldn't pull in ratings like a show based on Christianity. If the show is rated from an objective stand-point, it's overacted and poorly shot.
