Please elaborate this sentence:

"Contrary to many spiritually-oriented shows, many themes have been directed with an orthodox Biblical approach, for instance: hell, homosexuality, pre-marital sex, racism, creationism and intelligent design, among others."

Please give examples or explain the nature of "orthodox Biblical approach."

I believe, when the above writer says "orthodox biblical approach", they are referring to generally accepted biblical interpretations, on the subjects that they have listed. Unfortunately, general opinion has change on many subjects. For instance, many people believe that it is OK to experiment with sex, as long as you take precautions. 50 years ago, a woman who had premarital sex was labeled a tramp, or worse. And in Christ time, they were even stoned to death. Homosexuals were treated even worse. Hell, though believed in, was never discussed, except by preachers, and only in church. Racism, though not as bad as in the past, is still very much a problem. Creationism and intelligent design, as always, is subject to individual personal opinion, and depends on whether an individual believes in the bible. The writers appearantly do, as do many viewers, as is evidenced by the popularity of the show. This writer likes the show very much. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eagleone 01 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Zack not necessarily Jesus

Even on Touched.Com, the Episode Guide identifies Zack merely as God, not specifically Jesus:

Monica, perplexed, moves on to meet Tess back in the desert, but it is there that she finds Zack once again. He thanks her for her service and devotion, and allows her to recognize him for who he truly is, her Lord, God.

Some people are presuming that because He appeared in human form that He must have been Jesus, (God the Son) rather than being God the Father. It simply is not said whether Zack was Jesus or not.

Work Stoppage

Some mention might be made about the tantrum Della Reese threw when she was not given a salary increase, the explanation being that the producers had allowed her alot of time off for her ministry work and viewed that as in lieu of money. She later resorted to virtual blackmail using the race card in interviews. I believe there was a lawsuit. RoyBatty42 07:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes?

Is there a separate article for a list of episodes? I can't find a link to it. Ospinad 20:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mocha lattes?

My memory might be faulty, but I thought that Monica's preferred variety of coffee was cappucino, not mocha latte. Someone might want to check that. Agur bar Jacé (talk) 19:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I believe the first she tasted was cappucino, but she quickly became such a coffee-holic, that she would try any coffee offered, and mocha latte was mentioned in many episodes as another favorite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eagleone 01 (talk • contribs) 20:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

School Blown up?

I've seen that episode, and the school is blown up because of a faulty boiler, not the devil. God was there that day to take the children into heaven, it was an accident, not intent, and although I can't recall, I don't remember the prosecutor being the devil. {24.77.248.68 (talk) 05:11, 26 August 2008 (UTC)}[reply]

Near the end of the episode, the scene just before the explosion is recalled by Joey (played by Paul Wittenburg). It shows someone with the same appearance as the prosecutor encouraging Joey

to turn a valve on the boiler, in order to provide more heat for his basket of kittens. Immediately after Joey opens the valve, the other person disappears. Also, there is a point in the

episode where Monica makes the statement that "Satan is real, and he is here." So, while the faulty boiler was what exploded, the inferred meaning is that Joey was encouraged to

turn that valve by Satan. Steggall 12:25 27 August 2008 (UTC)
