Apostate Angel Gabriel (The History Channel: The Bible Series) |
During the True Annunciation in the Gospel of Luke, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and the Scripture says that he tells her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." (Luke 19: 28-44). Gabriel in the Gospel accounts never touches Mary, he merely tells her God's Plan.
The First reason Gabriel would never have touched Mary is that in the Jewish Culture during the Roman Occupation (33 A.D.), Women were not to be touched by men unless they were heir husbands and immediate family. There were strict laws that even forbade rabbis to walk on the same path as a woman. Mary would never have been seen in private room or location with Gabriel, because it would have truly frightened her and looked suspicious (which God would never have allowed). What captures a more accurate Annunciation, is The Nativity Story Film where Mary is in an Olive Tree Orchard with the rest of the Nazarene Women. Gabriel appears to her and speaks the exact words found in the Gospels.
I recant what I said in a previous post endorsing The Bible Series on the History Channel. I recommend all believers to confront this heresy! This isn't a mistake like confusing Mary Magdalene of the Seven Demons with Mary the Harlot or confusing customs of the time. No, this is misrepresenting the Miraculous Birth of God's Only Begotten Son!
In addition to this apostasy about the Annunciation, the most important part of Jesus' Baptism was skipped! In the Bible Series Jesus is Baptized and then suddenly he is in the Wilderness. It completely omitted a very important part of his baptism: "After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased.” (Matt 3: 15-17). The Baptism is suppose to be an announcement of Jesus going into the ministry and his Father ordaining him and telling those there at the Jordan River who Jesus is: His Son! There are millions of people watching this show and many are seeing the Gospel for the first time, so it is crucial to tell it according to how it was written in the Gospels! How are people to know Jesus is the Son of God? How are they to know the truth?
They should have skipped the gory battle scene of Babylon to make time for these important details! I pray that no one is deceived by this History Channel Series and that people will pick up Bibles and read what actually happened. Amen.
