Examples? I'm not disagreeing with you... just looking for examples of where scripture has been altered.

Only from a few scenes I’ve seen:

Water to wine miracle - “not my hour” was replaced with “not my time.” These are two very different meanings in scripture and they used this change to show Mary as convincing a reluctant Jesus to perform a miracle (yes, although she knew who he was, he had never done a miracle before).

Shows Nicodemus believed in Jesus and Jesus asked him to follow him. Scripture clearly indicates that Nicodemus, at that time, did not believe in Jesus. Nowhere in the Bible did Jesus ask him to follow him. Later scripture indicates he was likely converted at a later time though.

Although these next few could be considered “minor”… why change it and for what purpose?…

Jesus rehearsing the sermon on the mount with Matthew, women leading the group lowering the paralyzed man, and Mary Magdalene portrayed as Jesus’ first disciple.

ETA: a lot of this is added for drama and to “make good TV,” and I get why they do it in most cases. It’s just my personal belief to not watch it. I fellowship with other believers that watch and enjoy the show.
