It’s even worse, sad to say. People who claim to be followers of God are distorting His Word, using names and bits of information and coming out with “Bible entertainment” that isn’t just innocent fiction, but it sucks people in, making them think and believe things about God and His Word that are patently false. They are being deceived by watching what they think is wholesome entertainment.
Two nights ago, I visited a friend. Her Bible was on the table and she mentioned her Thursday Bible study. I asked what they are studying now. Matthew. She then went on to explain that Matthew is her favorite apostle. She thinks he had ADHD (which her son and grandson seem to have). I said I would never have gotten that idea from reading the Bible and asked what made her think that. She replied, “I saw it,” and then seemed to correct herself and said, “I read it.”
Just the day before, I had watched this video, so I sent it to her. I suspect the topic addressed had something to do with what she said.
That felt very validating to read. Beautifully written. I'm envious of your ability.
Even though I'm not Christisn, I found it uplifting that differing beliefs can still arrive at the same basic truth about love and creation.
Subscribed brother.

A book along similar lines is Showtime for the Sheep by T. A. McMahon.
A book I read a few years ago, Law Without Authority or Limits: Kelsen’s Dilemma by Daniel Gruber, came to mind while reading your thoughts.
I am finding my desire for God’s Word increasing as the world gets crazier. I can’t imagine living life without an anchor.
