Respect and love as long as you are a fellow Christian; what a benevolence.

I’m curious-if you are a Catholic, why did you depict Mary having such pain in childbirth? Did you use a Catholic Bible and Catholic priests as advisors for the Bible series? Did you produce Touched by an angel? Why wasn’t it Catholic? Why weren’t you married in Church by a priest? You actually support Obama? Yikes

How can you be a supporter of Obama when it is established that he is not a christian. I was disappointed to hear that as a Christian you supported him.

Where is it noted or said that Barack Obama is not a Christian? He was brought up a Christian, so when did he change, if, indeed, he did?

Obama IS a Christian. That is a known fact. Do some research before you state false claims like that.

Fact? Obviously you know nothing about Obama, his religion, his ideology, or what the Christian faith is, he is not a Christian, and that is a fact.

It’s Kelly again who has prayed and He says to me (Gay Woman) to be faithful and “PURE” to the Living word.
Be careful – Satan is the “prince of this earth” as given to it from our God. He will try to twist this out reach into $$$$.
I ask you both to be careful because they (Demons) and He is watching.
I will continue to pray for your intentions and vision. Beware of the cath church where men are “Saved” by men. Not through the bl of Christ.

He may say he is a Christian but he is not. He suports abortion including partial birth abortion ans suports same sex marriage. He cannot possibly be a christia..

Roma and Mark know exactly what they were doing having a devil as black and Jesus as white. They shot the movie in Morocco in Africa and can only find a white guy to play a blonde haired Jesus! Seriously? I automatically didn’t like the show when I saw this so called Jesus, And after having a guy who resembles the president as the devil is an insult; I will NOT watch this if it were shown to me free!
You have a white Jesus, then have a white devil!!! What this casting did was to make it obviously racist, thanks to Roma and Mark!!!
Besides millions of people know that Jesus is not white but quite dark in color.
I’ll pass on this show.

Fyi Cyndi… the actor who played Jesus is Portuguese. As for the actor who played satan, he is not black but a highly acclaimed Morroccan actor and has played satanic characters before in other biiblical epics… as Roma Downey said “long before Barack Obama was elected as our president”. yes they made him look like a dark character, but not like a black man.
The actor who played Sampson, a good guy, is black and so wasthe actress who played his mother… along with at least one angel and other actors in the scenes.
This is much ado about nothing… a silly distraction and I thought it was gracious of Mark Burnett and Roma Downey to speak honorably and respectfully of our president whether or not a supporter…which I am not. We are instructed by the scriptures to pray for our leaders.
So Cyndi you missed a good mini series by letting yourself get distracted by the Boloney!

How can you say that Obama is a christian when he supports abortion and gay marriage.
True bible beleiving christians don’t support this type of behavior because it is wrong.
A true christian doesn’t hate people who do but we pray for them to turn from the errors of their ways………

You call yourselves Christians ? You sound like Caiaphas! Bless Mark & Roma for using Godly wisdom. Continue to pray for our leaders. For its God who puts kings and removes them.

The Bible says a Christian will be known by his fruit. It must be good fruit. Regardless of how Obama was raised or what beliefs he claims, he supports and is even attempting to administrate ideas that directly conflict God’s word. His fruit is evidence that he is not a christian, but a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Thank you for such an accurate account of the Word of God!

Obama is the most evil President ever to have held office, he is the abortion king, and he loathes Christ, he is a Muslim, and it is his deeds, not words that validate what the truth is!
