        The start of the Bible explains that God said the priestly family should get the best of all the meat and other offerings plus endless other benefits, powers and exceptions. It’s an age old game

        I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near new.

    Average Joe is not on Wikipedia or IMDB, so it’s either waaaay early, or the film community isn’t taking it seriously. I can’t find a production company (Typically Pure Flix for Evangelical Christian propaganda flims like the GND series). There’s a book on Amazon, and I assume it’s related.
