"My first answer was no. I was thinking 'you can't do a game show about the Bible,'" Foxworthy recently said during a taping of the show for GSN (formerly Game Show Network). "I prayed about it. I was like, 'God, is this okay to do a game show about the Bible?'" The one-hour game show in which faith-filled players on teams compete in an attempt to demonstrate their superior knowledge of Scripture is also about giving. The teams are all playing for winning dollar amounts to go to a charity or a cause. Read more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I see as a possibility is that it will shine a bad light on Christians. All it will take is someone to argue about what scripture means ...

When I attended a Christian camp, they had team-competition Bible quizzes. It was a lot of fun. Since when did encouraging people to memorize Scripture become a bad thing? Iy-yi-yi!

When I attended a Christian camp, they had team-competition Bible quizzes. It was a lot of fun. Since when did encouraging people to memorize Scripture become a bad thing? Iy-yi-yi! for millions? btw i dont memorise scriptures. i doesnt work well for me but ask me where something is at in the bible or any big doctrine and i can teach and defend it or attack it. tis the game show network! is that a christian network? or a business? its the later they want ratings not to win souls that says alot. its like modern christian music where its a song that sells that gets the musicians money or that award vs gods work being done. watch and or particapate . i thought about even competing then god convicted me. son, you spend more time debating my word then with me in my word. nuff said. i can see that with this show when god said that.

After all, Jeff Foxworthy believes the Lord gave him the green light to host it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
