Five Things the Bible Got Wrong?

I admit that I did not watch all of The Bible because of how much they got wrong in the beginning. That is why when I saw this headline I was hopeful someone else noticed the mistakes too. I was wrong.

"The Bible" didn't always stick to its inspiration.

“The Bible” miniseries has truly brought in divine ratings for The History Channel these past few weeks. Despite at least one major road bump (Satan appeared in a black hooded robe and was promptly compared to President Barack Obama), the episodes -- which selectively feature certain stories in both the Old and New Testaments -- have been well received by millions of viewers every week. But as the series comes to a close Sunday, it’s worth asking – just how accurate was the series, in the end? Telling the story of The Bible is a tricky business, said biblical scholar Dr. Peter E. Enns, who teaches Bible Studies at Pennsylvania’s Eastern University. But it was clear, he notes, that series creators Mark Burnett and Roma Downey had an agenda – and that every episode they told had one goal: To get to the climax of Jesus’s life and death.

I wish that these were among the list of mistakes.

They got the names wrong of Abraham and Sarah

Genesis 17 5 No longer will you be called Abram[b]; your name will be Abraham,[c] for I have made you a father of many nations
15 God also said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you are no longer to call her Sarai; her name will be Sarah.

Lot's daughters in the movie were young yet when you read that they seduced their father, it is clear they were not little girls.

Genesis 19:35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.

Genesis 19:37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today.

They got the age Jesus began His ministry wrong.

Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. Luke 3

There is more they got wrong but you'll have to read the Bible to discover how much. If you can think of the others leave a comment and share your thoughts.
