Aspect Ratio: 1.78:1Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated) Binding: DVD EAN: 0720229913058 Format: Color, Dolby, DVD-Video, NTSC, Widescreen Label: First Run Features Languages: Manufacturer: First Run Features MPN: 913058 Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: First Run Features Region Code: 1 Release Date: February 19, 2008 Running Time: 99 minutes Studio: First Run Features Theatrical Release Date: 2007 Editorial Review: Product Description: Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Seattle Interntional Film Festival, Dan Karslake's provocative, entertaining documentary brilliantly reconciles homosexuality and Biblical scripture, and in the process reveals that Church-sanctioned anti-gay bias is based solely upon a significant (and often malicious) misinterpretation of the Bible. As the film notes, most Christians live their lives today without feeling obliged to kil anyone who works on the Sabbath or eats shrimp. Through the experience of five very normal, very Christian , very American families - including those of former House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson - we discover how insightful people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child. With commentary by such respected voices as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Harvard's Peter Gomes, Orthodox Rabbi Steve Greenberg and Reverend Jimmy Creech, For The Bible Tells Me So offers healing, clarity and understanding to anyone caught in the crosshairs of scripture and sexual identity.

 Rating:  - Documentary on the lives of 5 homosexualsThis is the best documentary I have seen. It helped me understand so much more about homosexuality than I did and was the reason for me to actually change my biblical position on the subject. Along with the DVD I read Gene's book "In the eye of the Storm" which was also brilliant. Rating: - A Must Have!!!This video is a must have for anyone in Seminary or anyone who wants to learn more about their beliefs toward biblical history. I would recommend this video for church libraries, christian schools and church classes that want to focus on an in depth study of the bible and it's meanings about things not talked about from the pulpit. Rating: - For The Bible Tells Me So/DVDIt is an excellent documentary. Every GLBT person should have this in their library. Perhaps the one of the most affirming media pieces available today. A must for any parent with a gay child or children. Rating: - TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE This movie is a stir of emotions. Very challenging in the area of Unconditional Love. I was angry, sad, I cried but ended with Hope and a serenity feeling of THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST FOR ALL. My prayer is that when I as Christian don't have the capacity to Love a certain group of people, That the LORD help me to and leave the rest up to The Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ came to show us Compassion, empathy and most importantly to LOVE Him more than anything in this world and to LOVE our neighbor like ...

Two of the five families are prominent families in the US: former Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt and his family and the first openly gay Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson and his family. The documentary follows each family as they begin to process their child's sexual orientation, with each family responding in a variety of ways, from ... Read More |
