I went to see the Daniel movie in the theater Oct 2026 and loved it. I posted on facebook that I thought it was a pretty good movie. However, later, when I was reading my bible, I realized that there was a serious biblical error in the movie.

Spoiler alert:
In the movie, Daniel makes a graven image but he does not bow down to it, as if just bowing down to it is a sin. But the bible says, in several places that just making a graven image is a sin.

Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the Lord Deut 27:15 KJV
Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God. Lev 26:1 KJV
Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female Deut 4:16 KJV
And many many more verses that say the same thing.

Though I enjoyed the movie I find it very sad that people who write and produce these movies either haven't read their bible much or just don't care as long as it's entertaining. Especially since this movie was produced by Michael W Smith, who should know better.
Anyway, I did enjoy much of the movie and it WAS entertaining.
