Gabriel 2018

All he explains on this documentary makes sense except for 3 things: 1. Although he goes to the supposed place of the parting of the sea (now a dried-out lake) he does not show the location of this ancient lake on any of the maps; one is left wondering if he knows the exact location or he just went to a random empty space. 2. There is insignificant likelihood that members of the tribe of Dan would have migrated to Greece, considering that after such a deliverance as a group (Israelites), they would most likely have stayed together until reaching Canaan. The beginning of a nation usually happens with a group of people being together, not some deciding to break away in the whim of the moment. The Scriptures even say that "peoples from other nations joined them in the deliverance", not the other way around that some broke away. Needless to say, that "ark of the covenant replica" does not look as it is described in Exodus: the cherubim were supposed to have "their wings spread 'covering' the mercy seat" (Exodus 25:20) as in a reverent, protective attitude towards what was inside the ark; the cherubim were not a pair of happy doves. The Scriptures do not speak of any "ramp" for the altar of sacrifice; that would imply an "ascending" up to God, when in reality God descended to Moses and the priests inside the tabernacle, on the ark of the covenant, not in the outter court. 3. There are still more elements matching the biblical account at Jebel-el-Lawz in Saudi Arabia than at Jebel-Hashem-Tarif in Egypt. If there is a Mt Sinai there should also be a Mt Horeb; they are not one, same mountain, if they were the same the Scriptures would say "Mt Horeb which is Sinai" or "Mt Sinai which is Horeb", as the Bible always does to clarify. So on this video, where is Mt Horeb? where is the cave of Elijah? where is the split rock? where is the burnt mountain top after "God descended on the mountain as fire of a furnace for fourty days and fourty nights"? By the way, the Scriptures never mention "tombs of saints on top of the mountain", Jewish tradition? valuable in other cases, here the Scriptures count more.

Great movie. After little boring beginnings with infighting in the group, it turns out to be great, and all 3 had just mended differences before. Awesome progression of events, neatly tied to very well-sounded technical details. Awesome acting on all the actors, even the 4th member of the group at the end. I am waiting for a Cosmos part II.

The movie definitely conveys a great message, for more than an American out there. As for to avoid the downside of promiscuity. However, this whole change of life for one of them, man or woman, is simply impossible in real life, much less for both! The deep cutting feelings that the flesh produces that are at stake, make it even impossible for a person to "give the benefit of the doubt" or "leave the door open" to the other person for a change of reaction in clue moments of interaction, regardless of Stanford or writer. Neither Stanford nor profession makes someone Superman or woman to stand deep-settled feelings as consequence of such lifestyles.
