Watch: A Lamp In The Dark: The Untold History of the Bible 2009 123movies, Full Movie Online – I have just watched A Lamp In The Darkness: The Untold History Of The Bible. I have found this historical documentary to be inspiring and informative as well as unique. Historical videos seen on television channels like the History Channel and PBS tend to be so inoffensive and sanitized as to be rendered useless. Viewers may dispute the interpretations but cannot dispute historical facts recorded in historical archives. Rome from the very beginning was an enemy of the gospel as it continues to be and is predicted to be at the end of the age.Love or Hate It, It Is Difficult To Deny Our History. History that is still being made..
Plot: A Lamp in the Dark is an exciting new documentary that unfolds the fascinating “untold” history of the Bible, revealing critical information often overlooked in modern histories. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Papal Inquisition forbade biblical translation, threatening imprisonment and death to those who disobeyed. Learn the stories of valiant warriors of the faith, such as John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, the ancient Waldenses, Albigenses and others who hazarded their lives for the sake of sharing the Gospel light with a world drowning in darkness. Once the common people were able to read the Bible, the world was turned upside down through the Protestant Reformation.

Even with less than stellar acting at points the film is the best ever!
What can I saw about this film? It was made with so much forethought and shares a HUGE amount of information about Bible history and thus the history of Christians.

Although it is a documentary (with some scenes played out in a sort of filmography skit-like form) it has highs and lows and all of the gripping-ness (is that a word?) of a 5-star adventure film.

I am a Believer. As a Believer, this documentary means more to me perhaps than any other Christian film I have ever seen, because it gives so MUCH important and significant information, and it also helps to remind me, in a big way, just how very many sincere and dedicated Christians in history have put themselves and their families at risk and how many have died so that I can today read the Bible in English.

I never realized before watching this film, for instance, that for Christians a big part of the terror of the Inquisition was being tortured and/or killed just for reading or owning a copy of the Bible in English. I also learned about the Waldenses and another group that owned and believed in their own copies of the Bible since very early days of Christianity and how they were systematically made all but entirely extinct (mostly due to the Vatican’s pope of the day).

I also learned more about the early men who risked their lives to translate the Bible into English.

I would like to also mention that the sequel to this film is called TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, and it is equally long (about 3 hours) and equally excellent, going much into the untold stories of how the so-called “older” manuscripts of the Bible were found which are part of the basis of most of today’s many, many new translations of the Bible in English. This film, TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, is equally excellent and may be even more significant than its prequel. (A sequel to TARES AMONG THE WHEAT is due out sometime in spring of 2016 and is called BRIDGES TO BABYLON. I am definitely going to check that one out as well.) I must give one small caveat to my glowing review, and that is that although I probably am in 100% agreement with nearly everything the producer, Chris Pinto, puts out there — I have discovered that in at least one interview I saw with him he is (yet another) of today’s Christians that clings to the “traditional” view that God hates for people to be gay. I personally find this attitude to be as naive, and at least somewhat as harmful as the old-time “Christian” belief that the Bible teaches that slavery is right and good. Ah, but we live in an imperfect world, and I have yet to find any high-profile Christians that I can agree 100% with doctrinally. Thankfully, the filmmaker’s bias against the LGBT community is not touched upon in this film or its prequel. (I fear it may be touched upon, however, in Bridges to Babylon.)

Oh, and one thing I forgot to mention: This film is so full of impactful and interesting information that I have watched it many times — and will watch it many times more. (I can also say the same for TARES AMONG THE WHEAT.) And I’m not the only one. Several friends I told about these films have told me they are doing the same thing — watching it again and again. Yes, it’s really that good!

A toxic anti-Catholic diatribe
I can’t believe I watched the whole 3 hours, but I did learn more about the dark side of my Church. Since I grew up Protestant, I already knew about the dark side of Protestantism — which was never mentioned by this completely slanted film.

I certainly never knew about the evil side of the Jesuits. They’re like the CIA of the Catholic Church. They’re sworn to protect the Pope, and to convert everyone to Papal allegiance. But if a Pope dares to object to the Jesuits, his lifespan will be short. Scary stuff.

And here the director reveals his true colors. He calls the Jesuits assassins, spies, and even (horror of horrors) intellectuals. Anti-intellectualism is just one part of toxic Protestantism. You won’t find Catholics denying evolution, global warming, and science itself — not since the days of Galileo, anyway.

The production values of the movie are OK at best. Everything is so slanted, even the music, that it feels like you’ve just sat through 3 hours of something like “The Secret History of the Evil Masons.” Yes, it really is that bad.

Much of the movie is probably true, even if it’s hopelessly slanted, which is why I sat through it, and gave it 3 stars. It did have some redeeming qualities.

But there are some bits that are almost ridiculously false. The movie ended by implying that someday the Catholics want to come up with a new Bible that omits the book of Revelation. This is completely ridiculous, but certainly does pander to its Protestant audience. The nuttiest Protestants of all are the ones who are fixated on the book of Revelation, the rapture, the second coming, etc. Catholics find the whole Protestant idea of the rapture ridiculous. But Catholics would never consider omitting the wonderful Revelation of St. John.

The movie left a truly foul taste in my mouth, and seems more like a movie made in 1850 than one made recently. You’d never guess that both Catholics and Protestants have so much in common after watching this horror flick. Do you really think God cares which flavor of Christianity a believer prefers? According to Luke 11:28, what God cares most about is whether we hear the word of God and obey it. And since we all have so much trouble obeying God, why aren’t we focused on that? Compared to following God’s will, nothing else matters.

Our core beliefs are found in our creeds — the Nicene and the Apostles’ Creeds. And here both Catholics and Protestants are in complete agreement. Great Christians — and lousy Christians — are found in both churches. You’d certainly never know it after watching this film, though.
