Any one else watch The Last Days of Jesus on PBS ?

Hard for me to characterize it as a 'puff piece' when it was chock a block full of vile and rampant heresy.

Granted, the modern era Christian movement has so retconned and diluted the original 'message' so as to make the program seem less of an indictment than it actually is.  However, try watching it from a 'Literalist and Inerrancy of Scripture' point of view.

Most of the 'surprises' in the piece would have been enough just a few centuries ago to get the purveyors tongues pulled out with red hot pincers.

I like documentaries about Jesus with massive heretical content . . .  and seeing it on a TV station paid for with public funds, sublime !!

we know why they retconned a good bit of the bible for obvious reasons like you know secular values
that one German leader and society starting to question the bible until it settled on a teaching everyone could agree with.
