I will have to admit that i turned it off midway, as i sensed that Hollywood was/is about to do their best to re-write  history. The first place they had me turning my head was when the King was making breakfast for his family, with David as their guest. He went into some ‘new age- evolution babble’.  As he held an egg, he spoke about how now , unlike in the past, we believe in evolution (so anti-Biblical), and how that the egg came before the chicken...Ok somebody please tell me, that  if that was the case, who laid the egg in the first place and who sat upon it til it hatched?..hmm.

Nope, according to Genesis 1:20-22 God created all winged-fowl, and then He commanded them to be fruitful and multiply. It does not say that He created a bunch of eggs, that hatched...So in the words of  Paul as he wrote from Corinth,  I echo “Let God be true but every man a liar.” I will believe God’s word over the words of man, or his imaginations. So ya’ll let’s be careful, it only takes a little leaven to leaven the whole loaf...It just takes one lie to deceive (remember the serpent?)

Another thing that really bothered me, was the fact that the guy who is supposed to be playing Jonathan/Jack I think, (Saul’s son), they are setting him up to be gay. This is clearly inaccurate to what the scriptures say. Ya’ll mark my words, there is a hidden agenda here, and I am not a ‘Homophobe’. The Bible does not hide the flaws of it’s characters. David included. It’s pages are filled with those that were murderers, fornicators, adulterers, thieves, prostitutes etc...Most of these stories were not written by the characters themselves,otherwise they would have only told those things that would have made themselves look good. No,  God was telling on them. And if David and Jonathan were more than ‘the best of brother- friends’, the Bible would have addressed it. However, they had a special bond that was not sexual in nature at all. The Bible is clear on David’s weakness for women (he had many and they gave him many sons), and Jonathan also had a son name Mephibosheth... by a woman. There are times in the Bible where same sex relations are addressed (Gen 19-Sodom and Gomorrah,  Judges 19:22-24 , Rom 1:24-32 ) but I implore you to study it out...because this is NOT one of them.

We must read the scriptures in the context that they were written, not through our ‘21st century- let -me -add- to- it- based -on- what- the -culture- is-doing- today’ mentality.

This is where some people get it twisted. In 2 Sam 1:25, David is grieving over the deaths of Saul and Jonathan and he says  “ How  the mighty are fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan thou was slain in the high places. I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan (note he did not say, my lover, but my brother); very pleasant has thou been to me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. How are the mighty fallen...  he did not say that Jonathan’s love to him was ‘like’ the love of a woman (which would have been sexual by nature), But that this kind of brotherhood- love (like the bond you would find among those in the military, or on the police force) surpassed even that of eros...making it a better love.  In the Bible, Jesus taught ”No greater love has any man than this, that a man would lay down his life for his friend “. That kind of love is self- sacrificing, not self- gratifying...it’s pure.  Jesus didn’t espouse that the greatest love entailed sexual pleasure, but in giving up ones life (rights, entitlements, comforts, very breath for some one else). Jonathan was willing to lay down his right as’ next king in line,’ for David. He made a covenant of friendship with him that extended to each of their lines of descendants. He warned David to flee for his life knowing that his own father the king, would try to kill him for it. According to 1 Sam 18:1-4, Jonathan loved David as his own soul. And lest you think it strange, Jesus himself said that all the Law and the Prophets (the scriptures) hangs upon  this right here ‘ Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy mind’...and ”Love thy neighbor as thyself“...This is the kind of love and friendship that they shared. This is the kind of bond that i pray that God would grant us among those that we love.

Just tryin’ to keep it REAL!
