What are your favorite Biblical Movie Scenes?

One of my favorite scenes is in The Passion of the Christ, when Veronica wipes Jesus' face and you can, if you look very carefully, briefly see the imprint of his face on the cloth afterward.
 

The gospel according to Hollywood.

Anything with Charlton Heston gets my vote. He was just made for those sort of parts. Jeff Hunter lacked charisma...he was too bland.Robert Powell was another who wouldn't have made an impact in real life.
 

Biblical crowds can be wonderful! In Life of Brian, those standing far away during the Sermon on the Mount thought they heard Christ say, “Blessed are the cheese makers!” And of course, we are all individuals… 😸

 
That movie Samson is Unforgettable. When he brings the temple down, when he is betrayed, when he is made to work at the grindstone.
Very true. But as a male inexorably driven by testosterone, of course, I tend to see only the fighting jawboning Samson. LOL!

Very true. Hesston had this presence that created drama just by being there. After playing Moses, he had trouble being chosen for parts that went contrary to the Moses personality. At one point while discussing the problem during an interview, he was so angry about it that he almost seemed on the verge of saying something ungodly.
 
Some object that theEgyptianscould not have had horses gpr their charriots becauseofthe plagues on Egyptian livestock. Well, they arewrong forthefolloeing reasons.


Where Did Pharaoh Get Horses to Chase Israel?

This question, which implies biblical dishonesty, is very strange! Why?

Well, very simple: Because it assumes that the Egyptians did absolutely nothing to replenish their losses inflicted by the plague on their livestock.

You see, if indeed the Egyptian livestock losses were as severe as described, then replenishment would be the Egyptian government's immediate concern. Isn't that the normal human reaction? To replenish valuable essential things that are lost?

Yet, this accusation assumes that the Egyptians chose to respond abnormally by doing absolutely nothing at all to compensate for their losses? As if acquiring horses again would be impossible? The truth is that it would be extremely easy to replenish livestock since the Egyptians had easy access to the Israelite animals, which had been spared from the plagues, as well as to the livestock from Egyptian converts to Israelite religion which had also not been affected. Egypt also had easy access to the livestock of neighboring regions, such, as Canaan and Libya, and even Nubia to the south.

In short, it is extremely unreasonable and unjustifiable to suggest that Israelite horses were not immediately confiscated since Israel was still under Egyptian control after these plagues were through.

So it is only logical to assume that those confiscated or replenished horses were the very ones powering the chariots involved in the Exodus events described as occurring later at the Red Sea.
