The facts of the biblical account are thus...

The Passover
1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb [a] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it over the fire—head, legs and inner parts. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.
12 "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn—both men and animals—and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

14 "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD -a lasting ordinance. 15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat—that is all you may do.

17 "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. 18 In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether he is an alien or native-born. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread."

21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning. 23 When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

24 "Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants. 25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony. 26 And when your children ask you, 'What does this ceremony mean to you?' 27 then tell them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.' " Then the people bowed down and worshiped. 28 The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

29 At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. 30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

31 Yea, all this came to pass because of these Egyptians allowing television in their homes.

I'm sorry, are you saying having a tv removes the saving power of God's blood from your life?

Here's the deal folks...

Whatever you give most of your time to concerning earthly works... over time you may become consumed by them... whether by accident or purpose.. and being so consumed whether it be Television, Internet, or Whatever your kids could pay the price spiritually down the road because of your actions...

It has happened in the past and will again.. None are perfect except He who died for our transgressions or sin so that we would be perfected someday before Him...

Had I said anything else but Television I wonder now what would have been the response.. and in some ways I wished I had now but what I wrote carried some weight...for some in heart and for some in the head..

The Story is not a Biblical account but centers around a Biblical acct.. just as Ben Hur or any other story...

That being said.. I never wrote watching Television killed the Child....I said What it provides for you Today can Cost you Tomorrow...

and Yes Television is addicting... for studies to come suggesting Children watch up 7 hrs of Television a Day.. That's 49 Hours a month... or 196 Hours a Month... Folks that may not be you... but that's a Large Percentage of America...

I will never preach that having Television will send you to Hell.. But if you become consumned by it... the lasting effects it will have will affect generations to come.. and that is a Fact...

And the Truth is a Large percentage of America is consumned by it.. If your not.. and you control what you watch or see.. Great...

But everybody can build an "INN" if they are not careful.. or watchful.. and wind up costing the one's they love a price they can't afford..

What started this thread was a great story and it end with goofy statement. I understand the message that is being sent be the story. The Bible talks us fighting what our fathers fought. But there is always a place where the cycle can stop. That is where the father in story comes in. It is our jobs as fathers to watch our family. But to twist that into pointing at tv as being the "Inn" that is a stretch. There are too many "inn's" in our lives.

You don't have to apologize or defend your statements...

Some will argue that poo doesn't stink just for the sake of trying to discredit YOU...

You wrote a great piece
