“In trying to avoid one sin I’ve committed another.”

SELECT QUOTES for Pentecostals from Living Biblically (the show)

“There’s a beauty to forgiveness, especially forgiveness that goes beyond rationality. Unconditional love is an illogical notion, but such a great & powerful one”

“I am officially Jewish, but I’m Jewish in the same way the Olive Garden is an Italian restaurant.”

“I’ve rarely said the word “Lord,” unless it’s followed by “of the Rings.”

“I’m still agnostic. But in the words of Elton Richards, I’m now a reverant agnostic.”

“The whole bible is the working out of the relationship between God and man. God is not a dictator barking out orders and demanding silent obedience. “

“This is what the Sabbath should feel like. A pause. Not just a minor pause, but a major pause.”

“The Bible is right: A deluge of images does encourage idolatry. Look at the cults of personality in America today. Look at Hollywood. Look at Washington. I’d like to see the next presidential race be run according to Second Commandment principles. No commercials.”

Troy Day Pentecostals dont watch much TV?

Troy Day  Timothy Carter what is your personal take on it?

Timothy Carter I watched a couple of times to see how the Bible would be presented. So far noone on the show is making fun of the Bible or Christians. So, that is a good thing. Everyone on the show makes fun of Chip (the main character) Because he is taking the laws …See More

Troy Day Right. But it also stopped being funny

Timothy Carter Troy Day it seems that the actors are struggling to identify with their characters. The comedy is cheesy.

    I should be more positive but given the onslaught of Christian values and the “bottom line” which is ratings and money and given that Pentecostals generally don’t watch a lot of T.V. (the one eyed demon) well you get my point. What are are they going to do turn of the t.v. during the commercials?

    Well the show is a critique to both religious and non-religious layers of culture in post-Christian post-religious America. Not to mention is funny as heaven

    I thought you just said,
    “no father shown just yet”
    The thing I only I can think of is the Trojan horse. Bring ’em in with a little honey in the rock and keep ’em for Jerry Springer and the sexual perversion buffet

    Well I can see why not having a TV set in your home has many benefits.
    For one you can play Christian music inviting the Holy Spirit to make himself at home

    Timothy Carter I think the show is pretty much done with it. If they run it more it will have no audience. Started strong and super funny I enjoyed it but oh well. Everything has an end. This one had a short ending … it seems

      I believe The only way they can save the show is to either add sex jokes like The other shows this producer work own, “Mom”, “Two Broke Girls”, and the “Big Bang Theory”. Or hire some talented true Christians to write.
