In the trailer when the angel tells Mary that she will have a son, she says, “This is not possible.” This indicates doubt. However, in Luke 1:34, she actually says, “How can this be?” She didn’t doubt that God could do it, she just didn’t know HOW God could do it. It’s a subtle but important difference. Read the Word and keep your eyes on Jesus!
I read Luke today also and unlike John the Baptist’s father, he had doubt when told about John, but when the angel came to Mary, she had no doubt in her heart
My gut tells me ,just based on this trailer alone, that they're going to play up the 'girl power' element here, and not in a Biblically accurate way, but in a modern 21st century way.
@@jhn146Aand yet it still manages to completely get the Catholic view of Mary wrong as well. As a Catholic, trust me, none of us are supporting this film. My parish even had a talk about it being heretical in its portrayal of Mary and the birth of Christ.
Mary was a tool, just like all of us are, in God's story. She was chosen to bring our Savior into the world. She should not be worshipped but admired immensely 🙏
@@ec2487 .. Mary definitely fits the definition of a tool aka something used to carry out a particular function. You're giving the word tool a negative outlook. God does and use people for this Story🙏
I love that God does meet with us to show us the truth if we come before Him and lay down our pride and humbly ask for Him to show us. God delights in revealing truth. Maranatha.
You can tell from the trailer that there are lots of scenes that are not biblical and only based on speculation of what "may have happened." It is very difficult to make an entire movie just about Mary based on the Bible because the Bible actually has very few references to her. By the way, "Love will save the world" is a very New Age thing to say.
"And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity." (1 Corinthians 13:13 - KJV) "And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13 - NKJV) "So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13 - Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition)
Well, Gods love will save us, through Christ, but aperently the earth must pass away, for the new earth? I could be wrong here, but their should be an end time before the ressurextion
Yes it is. Jesus will save the world, not our human idea of what love is. All biblical movies and shows take a lot of liberty to fill in the blanks and add personality and fluff to the Bible. The Bible isn’t entertainment.
Any film or show based on the Bible will obviously have scenes not from the Bible and will be based on speculation. That’s basically almost like any movie based off any book.
This movie moved me, I felt it in my spirit. I feel closer to Mary for some reason. I don’t know how to explain what this movie made me feel.. maybe added another layer of love? A layer I didn’t even know could exist…Actually, that’s exactly what it gave me ❤hope that makes sense!
Thanks for your insight Pastor. I'm definitely not going to watch. I just don't trust secular mainstream entertainment to do any justice to anything Biblical. That being said Merry Christmas to you and your family!! God bless you. I appreciate your ministry. Praise the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ.
This movie is basically an inspiration from the immaculate conception which I like, I also appreciate your commentary about Mary. A lot of Christians tend to dismiss her role in the bible with Jesus' ministry for some reason. I don't think this is completely biblically based, and I will DEFINITELY be treading with caution when I watch this.. but at the very least it DOES make me want to revisit what I know about Our Lady, the Immaculate conception and the Gospels.
Mary was blessed by God among women, but she is not a Queen to be worshipped. In Luke 1:28, Mary is called “favored one” (literally, “endowed or filled with grace”) but only in the sense that God, by grace, chose her to be the human mother who would give birth to the Christ child. This same idea and word is used of all believers in Ephesians 1:6. We have all been endowed with grace. To say any more than this is to add to what the text of Scripture says.
@@_prodbyjc_ The woman and the dragon? There was no queen in that. I thought it was talking about Israel as a whole, because sometimes or cities are referred to as "she" I think Isaiah did that alot. I also thought it could be talking about creation too since the dragon, the devil, turns his attention to humanity after he could not destroy the woman. I dont think alot of us will understand the mysteries of Revelation.
@@Heather_no_numbersShe is mentioned as a woman crowned with twelve stars and is the one who gives birth to the savior. Also absolutely no Catholic worships Mary 😂. I really don’t understand how you are that ignorant to Catholic doctrine with the internet available. I can forgive you if you just didn’t know, but please do not spread or feed into this false belief that we have of Mary. Bearing false witness is a sin. Mary is the mother of our Lord and Jesus entrusted her to humanity right before he died on the cross. She is blessed and deserves our respect just as any other person who played a role in salvation deserves such as Moses, Noah, etc. John 19:26-27: "When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, 'Woman, here is your son,' and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother'". Luke 1:39-43: At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Luke 1:46-49: And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me-holy is his name.”
No mattet what sort of movie it is, Netflix always finds a way to turn them into crap. Can be really great, and then the ending just ruins the whole thing lol
I miss your sermon about Esther From probably a decade ago Any chance you still have that and could put it back online?Since?I didn't download it the first time The one line that always stuck with me is that you said zerksies is a jerksey's
I miss this sermon series too but it was also like....a year long I think? I found some of the videos on his channel, mostly clips from one of his Esther series which is from 12 Years ago, "Jesus Is a Better King (sermon preview)" is the start of the series. Not the same one you're referencing but this was way after the original Esther series and provides even in clips some great Bible teaching.

I raised 75k and Kate Elizabeth Becherer is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York City
I know that woman (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) If you were born and raised in new York you'd know too, she's my family's Broker for 3yrs till now and a very good one if you asked me. No doubt she is a good woman.
Looking forward to seeing how they portray Mary. Will they present her as the mother of Yahweh, or, be more biblical and present her as the mother of the human messiah/son of Yahweh? If you read the birth narrative in Luke it's fascinating how Luke doesn't mention incarnation at all. That theology has to be brought to and read into the text. But for Luke to claim to be passing on a trustworthy account (1:1-4) to Theophilus but leave out the fact that the agent of the genesis creation entered Mary's womb from the outside is unfathomable because that is a fantastic piece of the story. Would not as storyteller (in an oral culture) mention such a thing in his more formal account if that indeed was the narrative he'd heard and that had been circulating? If Luke believed incarnation then he certainly wouldn't then mislead Theophilus by writing something rather different--that the reason the child will be called the son of God is because of The Most High's (Yahweh's) supernatural begetting of him in Mary's womb (1:35). There's nothing there about Jesus being a preexistent spirit-son who is the alleged second person a a tripersonal God who somehow transformed into a baby. There's the straightforward story of Yahweh's power over her miraculously creating her son Jesus. If Luke believed the incarnation story then what he does say is so incomplete that it amounts to a lie because he's claiming to be presenting a reliable (and more complete) account of what all happened. Luke's story is what we should trust. But it cannot possibly be reconciled with the mythic story of a preexistent being of some sort coming into her from the outside. Luke's narrative cannot be reconciled with the later ideas that Mary changed God's (Yahweh's) diaper. That Yahweh-passes-through-a-vagina story would've been blasphemous to both Luke and his audience. It's time to drop the myths and get back to apostolic tradition.
Honestly...i started to watch a few minutes and i stopped because the Angel Gabriel gave me weird vibes...like I want to know if the actors are Christian. It matters and it affects the delivery. Gabrial felt off to me...
Bethlehem is in the West Bank and under the control of the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority welcomes pilgrims to Bethlehem because it is a tourist attraction for them to make money off of. And you are going to be safe there as the Palestinians that live and work there do not want any trouble that will impact their livelihoods.
Just watched the movie. While I applaud Netflix for producing a movie on this topic, this is a bad movie because it adds fantastical elements to the biblical story, it leaves parts out of the biblical story and it flat out gets part of the biblical story wrong.
If Mary's father ever said that to her, is not in the Bible do not add to or take away from what God has given us. You create all sorts of odd stories and conjectures and reasons for this and that. This is quite possibly harmful. Because people will see this movie and take it for reality.
This isn’t the Bible and I think that anything which Glorifies our Lord and the Bible can lead many to Jesus! We NEED more Godly content and I am very glad for these kinds of movies
I have a problem with a creeping, underlying theme of "girl power" in this series just like almost every other movie. And when Mary talks to the angel she says what Zachariah says which was it was an impossibility. Also i worry that with this series, people will get the wrong idea and start to pray to Mary and worship her rather than the only one who deserves praise and worship, Christ Jesus. The Bible says that He is the only way to the Father God and ONLY HE can intercede for us. Not saints or Mary. It is like the Israelites worshipping Moses for the miracles instead of God.
It wasn’t completely accurate, Some things were taking out of context and for entertainment purposes only, but I do respect the accurate things that were in the movie, As a Christian I give it an honest 7/10.
As with all movies, Netflix or any platform everybody needs to remember its just a movie!! Yes we need good wholesome movies that would help people think about the Bible, hopefully to get people to look into the Bible!! The Bible is where all the truth is, not movies.. movies are just fun, with 2%accuracy..lol if we watched EVERY movie with the idea that we should always double check with the Bible, every movie is flawed.
Mary was a big role in the scripture, And most certainly she's Jewish from the tribe of Judah, from the line of Jacob, A lot of Catholics are big on Mary, A lot of them are in error though they pray to her and ask her to pray for them Mary doesn't hear their prayers she's in the grave; Mary shouldn't be worshiped she needed GOD. Catholics will put idols all over there house of Mary That's leading to Idolatry, It's mostly Latin tribes who do this, I know because my family is Latino. As for myself I'm not a Catholic and they prob have mixed feelings about me for not being Catholic, I'm not going to bow down to Mary. woman was Created for Man not Man created for woman, theirs only 1 GOD and 1 GOD only Mary isn't god, GOD don't need partners.
I agree that worshipping Mary is idolatry. However, you pulling Scripture out of context does not help anything. Worshipping Mary is not idolatry because she is a woman. It is idolatry because she is a human. It is just as idolatrous to worship Peter.
@@saltandlight316 Worshiping a woman is feminism to the center of the core, if you can't see that I d k what to tell you, I don't worship Peter Lol. The biggest deception from satan is idols and having a woman as the head.

As a former Catholic who Jesus saved out of that false gospel, everything about this movie creeps me out and makes me feel so convicted. Also, why does Gabriel look more like a demon than an angel? That makes it seem like part of the message in this movie plays into the atheistic trope that is that God/Jesus is evil. But then again, this flick is straight up pagan. So much false doctrine to choose from -- yikes! Remember Galatians 1, brothers and sisters! JESUS (not Mary) was the ONLY sinless person to ever live -- period. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ! ✝🙌And merry Christmas, y'all!
I'm actually surprised at your response to this. Watching false gospel will only fill your head with false gospel. You will end up rejecting the truth. This is not a biblical movie at all. The thought of it "peaking interest then they will turn to the bible and read" that thought is the devil deceiving you. I have been there, they won't.
Super disappointed with this film. Too much violence tbh and turned it off half way thru. I feel like people praising this film don’t truly know the Bible and how Gabriel came to Mary and not her father. The Angel Gabriel looks so demonic in this film. There are sooo many inaccuracies in this film. The Testament of Moses as a 1000x better. Then there is a horse & buggy in this film?! Ooh come on…
May God guide you to the truth. The “rubbish” you claim is the truth. The Qur’an is preserved and free of human corruption. It is the word of God that came to correct the falsehood that was added to the original Torah and Gospels. The biblical narrative doesn’t even make sense and there is no historical evidence to prove it. Even your own scholars admit this. “And woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, claiming, “This is from God”- selling it for a paltry price. Woe to them for what their hands have written, and what they earn by this.” - Holy Qur’an (2:79)
Mark Driscoll for real? The trailer alone should alarm the Holy Spirit in you! It implies Mary's parent's "promise" (which is not Biblical) has something to do with the Messiah being born to her? Adding a bunch of weird stuff like Herod seeing visions of the crucifixion - or that he saw or met Mary at all. Then glorifying Mary about being "far more powerful than words"... leading to imply something that is entirely not found in scripture. Some modern fem perspectives about having an issue with marrying Joseph. The angel Gabriel depicted as some creepy cloaked shadow figure. Everything about the trailer alone screams perversion and distortion and deception. Mark, Netflix is not "getting interested" in Biblical themes as you seem to say here. No, they are deliberately making Biblical themed movies targeted at Christians in order to misrepresent core truths. It's a deception scheme. And the target audience here is Catholics. So they venerate and center-stage Mary while all the while perverting and warping the central themes and truths of the gospel in the process.
Jesus nor apostles ever called her queen of heaven😂😂 nor were there any prophecies of garbage mary apparitions nor prayers to her.🤡🤡 She was only an amazing woman of God who was vessel to bring Our Savior. Don't give her glory that Jesus did not😊
She is none of those things.Unbiblical and a blatant lie, Roman Catholicism is stealing the glory of our Lord and savior and giving it to mere humans.This will not go unpunished.God doesn't share his glory with anyone
Calm down. She's the Means by which God used to come here. She isnt anyone Special. Look at her bloodline. It screams corrupt, yet God used it to make a statement.
Those on the Bethlehem side are Palestinians. Stop trying to erase them. And none of them are mad that Mary is being played by a Jew. They and the rest of us who fear God and have a conscience are mad that an Israeli settler of European ancestry is playing Mary while her nation is committing genocide. Stop with this denial of the struggle Palestinians have had to endure. It’s disgusting.
In the trailer when the angel tells Mary that she will have a son, she says, “This is not possible.” This indicates doubt. However, in Luke 1:34, she actually says, “How can this be?” She didn’t doubt that God could do it, she just didn’t know HOW God could do it. It’s a subtle but important difference. Read the Word and keep your eyes on Jesus!

As with all movies, Netflix or any platform everybody needs to remember its just a movie!! Yes we need good wholesome movies that would help people think about the Bible, hopefully to get people to look into the Bible!! The Bible is where all the truth is, not movies.. movies are just fun, with 2%accuracy..lol if we watched EVERY movie with the idea that we should always double check with the Bible, every movie is flawed.
I was interested to hear, right up until you started saying don't listen to others😢
Completely against the teachings of Mary in the Catholic church. It's more of a romance than Gods divine Love
It will be a miracle if Netflix does not destroy the Biblical story.
I have a feeling that is their intention
Mary was a big role in the scripture, And most certainly she's Jewish from the tribe of Judah, from the line of Jacob,
A lot of Catholics are big on Mary,
A lot of them are in error though they pray to her and ask her to pray for them Mary doesn't hear their prayers she's in the grave; Mary shouldn't be worshiped she needed GOD.
Catholics will put idols all over there house of Mary That's leading to Idolatry,
It's mostly Latin tribes who do this, I know because my family is Latino. As for myself I'm not a Catholic and they prob have mixed feelings about me for not being Catholic,
I'm not going to bow down to Mary. woman was Created for Man not Man created for woman,
theirs only 1 GOD and 1 GOD only Mary isn't god, GOD don't need partners.
I agree that worshipping Mary is idolatry. However, you pulling Scripture out of context does not help anything. Worshipping Mary is not idolatry because she is a woman. It is idolatry because she is a human. It is just as idolatrous to worship Peter.
@@saltandlight316 Worshiping a woman is feminism to the center of the core, if you can't see that I d k what to tell you, I don't worship Peter Lol. The biggest deception from satan is idols and having a woman as the head. And they placed her as the head, going off, Catholics just don't worship Mary and Peter, They worship the dead saints as well and even angels, some even take it to the next level and place santa muerte on these alters,

Prayer and worship are two COMPLETELY different things.
Not a good showing of the word
As a former Catholic who Jesus saved out of that false gospel, everything about this movie creeps me out and makes me feel so convicted. Also, why does Gabriel look more like a demon than an angel? That makes it seem like part of the message in this movie plays into the atheistic trope that is that God/Jesus is evil. But then again, this flick is straight up pagan. So much false doctrine to choose from -- yikes! Remember Galatians 1, brothers and sisters! JESUS (not Mary) was the ONLY sinless person to ever live -- period. Praise our Lord Jesus Christ! ✝🙌And merry Christmas, y'all!
100% agree with you.Pushing a Catholic narrative about Mary which promotes paganism and idolatry
I'm actually surprised at your response to this. Watching false gospel will only fill your head with false gospel. You will end up rejecting the truth. This is not a biblical movie at all. The thought of it "peaking interest then they will turn to the bible and read" that thought is the devil deceiving you. I have been there, they won't.
Super disappointed with this film. Too much violence tbh and turned it off half way thru. I feel like people praising this film don’t truly know the Bible and how Gabriel came to Mary and not her father. The Angel Gabriel looks so demonic in this film. There are sooo many inaccuracies in this film. The Testament of Moses as a 1000x better. Then there is a horse & buggy in this film?! Ooh come on…
Hopefully their is no Quran rubbish in here, like what they did with the Moses story
May God guide you to the truth. The “rubbish” you claim is the truth. The Qur’an is preserved and free of human corruption. It is the word of God that came to correct the falsehood that was added to the original Torah and Gospels. The biblical narrative doesn’t even make sense and there is no historical evidence to prove it. Even your own scholars admit this.
“And woe to those who write
the Book with their own hands,
claiming, “This is from God”-
selling it for a paltry price.
Woe to them for what
their hands have written,
and what they earn by this.”
- Holy Qur’an (2:79)
Mark Driscoll for real? The trailer alone should alarm the Holy Spirit in you! It implies Mary's parent's "promise" (which is not Biblical) has something to do with the Messiah being born to her? Adding a bunch of weird stuff like Herod seeing visions of the crucifixion - or that he saw or met Mary at all. Then glorifying Mary about being "far more powerful than words"... leading to imply something that is entirely not found in scripture. Some modern fem perspectives about having an issue with marrying Joseph. The angel Gabriel depicted as some creepy cloaked shadow figure. Everything about the trailer alone screams perversion and distortion and deception. Mark, Netflix is not "getting interested" in Biblical themes as you seem to say here. No, they are deliberately making Biblical themed movies targeted at Christians in order to misrepresent core truths. It's a deception scheme. And the target audience here is Catholics. So they venerate and center-stage Mary while all the while perverting and warping the central themes and truths of the gospel in the process.
Hail Mary Queen of Heaven
Jesus nor apostles ever called her queen of heaven😂😂 nor were there any prophecies of garbage mary apparitions nor prayers to her.🤡🤡 She was only an amazing woman of God who was vessel to bring Our Savior. Don't give her glory that Jesus did not😊
She is none of those things.Unbiblical and a blatant lie,
Roman Catholicism is stealing the glory of our Lord and savior and giving it to mere humans.This will not go unpunished.God doesn't share his glory with anyone
@@roses993Martin Luther was a heretic and a pedo
Calm down. She's the Means by which God used to come here. She isnt anyone Special. Look at her bloodline. It screams corrupt, yet God used it to make a statement.
Just finished the movie
Looks catholic, no thanks. Not watching. Too much idolatry and unbiblical stuff from the rcc
100% Catholic narrative.Glorifying Mary as more than a fellow saint used by God for his purpose and plan.Not worth watching
Those on the Bethlehem side are Palestinians. Stop trying to erase them. And none of them are mad that Mary is being played by a Jew. They and the rest of us who fear God and have a conscience are mad that an Israeli settler of European ancestry is playing Mary while her nation is committing genocide. Stop with this denial of the struggle Palestinians have had to endure. It’s disgusting.
