And not even the only one with this story. Hinduism has Brahma and his consort Saraswati. The themes of lineage and filicide sound a bit like Kronos and Rhea as well. |
Abraham's son was Isaac and Isaac's son was Jacob whose name was later changed to Israel. So the country of Israel was named after Isaacs's son. Still think it's a myth? |
Hey Netflix, just because a book of fairy tales and magic mentions the odd actual place, does not for a second make it true. That's like saying Sherlock Holmes existed because it was set in Victorian London |
as the outline says drama fantasy, Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, Jesus, were all historically proven to be real, its the fantasy part of religion and what happened. No myth about the characters, just what happened with them/to them. Learn history before such a comment. Im not a bible thumper and I know the individuals r real. |
"His Only Son"? Yeah, make Biblical movies without actually reading the Bible. Isaac was Abraham's 2nd son, the only one with his wife, Sarah. Ishmael was older, out of his concubine, Hagar. I'm an Atheist who hasn't read that book since I was 11, yet even I know that! |
The fact that you know that just screams I believe fiction is real. |
You forgot something. The promise God made was jointly to Abraham and his wife Sarah. Therefore, this was technically their first born son. The fact that Abraham lost faith and had a child through his wife's hand maiden only made it more necessary to establish faith by the promise of sacrificing his son. |
At that point in the story, Ishmael was not with him, so 'His Only Son' is not a literal title |
Instead of labelling it as ''History'' it should be ''Fiction'' |
This cant be historical... everyone knows JC is a blue eyed blond dude so all these olive skinned characters cant be true Brought to you by the same studio as Sound Of Freedom... |
h3ll Really dude? I consider myself an atheist but I grew up in the Bible Belt, was married to a believer for 22 yrs, I have danced with the idea myself but in the end, I lack faith. An excellent read that book no matter what you believe. I do not dance with the devil or even flirt with the idea. |
You're not an atheist when you consider the possibility of a devil. |
It's not even about JC, it's a Jewish movie. |
Look at all the righteous bible thumpers illegally downloading this movie GOD IS WATCHING EVERYTHING YOU DO!! |
Great, a new Star Wars movie. I believe in the Force, the rest is fiction. Thx |
Sooo, a man hears a voice resonating in his head telling him to murder his son to prove his faith. And he agrees. WTF? Mom needs to take those kids and get far away. Fast. Should be categorized as "horror" |
Okay, that man didn't know any better, being possessed and all, but picture the billions and billions of people who follow a god blindly who is supposed to have been that voice in his head… Chilling, right? |
It is. However, not as chilling as being a part of a religion that will cut off people's heads for drawing a picture of their holy figure. At least the West has 'The Life of Brian'. |
After two thousand years, sure. The first two millennia of the christianised West were enriched with countless religious wars, auto da fes, crusades, exorcisms, executions, witch hunts for heidens, you name it. And all the while their book too says "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images, …" |
Sure, Brrzrrkrr, however christian history shows a reality you do not want to see. |
No, Brrzrrkrr, not a religion cuts off people's heads, fanatics do. As did christian fanatics throughout the last two thousand years as well. |
I'm not a fan of ANY religion, but some of them are objectively less bad than others. To believe Christians and Muslims are comparable is absurd. Please study what's going on in the Middle East right now, learn the true definition of Jihad, read Hamas' covenant, remember 9/11, look inside Iran now etc... |
You missed a key factor. Abraham knew that God would provide a way out, because God promised him that his descendants would be more abundant than the sands on the beach. So, not so much a horror story. The test needed to be made in order to establish faith in the world, which as principle would be available to others |
Back then it was hard to know if you were you father's only son or not. |
Yeah, no Jerry Springer yet. ⬅︎ Can anyone in staff tell me why this joke cannot be approved? Are all of you as infantile as my personal stalker and bully? Really? |
"we KNOW IT" regarding the existence of Gods....NO...you do NOT "KNOW IT". You believe in the possibility that gods exist. You have ZERO proof. |
I see it labeled as "Drama / Fantasy." But it makes no difference really those who "believe" this kind of thing are just like the MAGA people who believe their Savior can do no wrong and is being persecuted. |
somebody accidentally tagged this as history instead of fantasy |
Why would anybody wants to watch a bad fairytale of this level of stupidity. |
