Is The Chosen biblically accurate?

[RedFan]

Im sure there is a reason you post other's quotes, and yet can't use a NT.
-see you there. @RedFan

I've posted well over a thousand times on this site, and many of those quote the NT. Yes, there is a reason I'll also quote from literature. It's to illustrate a point. Here's one I find particularly apt to your post #18:

"His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search."
-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

"His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search."

""""Dont search for wheat or worldly wisdom.

Instead search for the "pearl of Great price""""""

Jenkins and His Wife are : Calvinists

They teach that sometimes Jesus chooses not to Heal., and you first saw this early on in the Series.........with Little James.

Ive read Jenkin's teaching, in the last week.... He totally twisted a NT verse that shows us Where Jesus said He could not do many Miracles in that place, because of their unbelief""""".... and Dallas Jenkins twists the scriptures and teaches...>"Jesus CHOSE not to heal".

And So, when all The Chosen viewers who are not Calvinists, but understand what Calvinism is all about... see episode 3, Season 4, they are going to recognize that The Issue is that Dallas Jenkins is using this episode to teach that It was predestined for what happens to happen, and that is why there was no solution that would have been the actual TRUTH, regarding Jesus, who came to Heal.
And in fact, JESUS healed every single sick person every single time who came to Him.
Romans, Jews......it didnt matter... All that mattered is that Jesus would heal them ALL.
He never turned anyone away.. He never refused to Heal anyone..
Not ONCE did the Lord of Glory, refuse Healing, in the Entire NT, and yet Dallas Jenkins the CALVINIST is using His "Chosen"program to deny Jesus's Reality, which is demonic to do so.

When you LIE about the Lord Jesus, you are a dark one.......very very dark.

Its going to be quite a "situation", probably.... because Jenkins and His wife are already "out their" with their "reasons" for this : episode, as they claim its all about SOVEREIGNTY....

And that is "CODE" for : "Pre-Destined"...

That is CODE for : TULIP

Its just CALVINISM <>TULIP.... and now he's outed Himself, by saying that there are = "Bible Truths" that we are teaching."""""

= CALVINISM.

Its sad, because so many Christians have given so much money to this Man and his "Chosen series".

And you ask...>"well, why did he have to get His Calvinism out there". ????

Its because Calvinist all have this unstoppable obsessed neurotic NEED, urge, compulsion.... to stand up and SHOUT about Their Calvinism.

Now Jenkins is talking about HIS obsession, more openly, because he can't help himself and that is why this episode exists.

HE's teaching Calvinism-Tulip, using "The Chosen".

See, a Calvinist will see this episode and say..>"seems right to me"., but the Bible Students who are not infected with Calvinism, will think.. ."WHAT IS GOING ON HERE".. "THIS IS NOT RIGHT".. "THIS IS NOT JESUS"... "THIS IS NOT SCRIPTURAL".

SO, It'll be interesting to see how the FALL-OUT lands.

And yet you have shown yourself completely incapable of refuting biblically any one of the "five points" as found in Scripture.

And if you had correct biblical knowledge you would know Jesus did not do miracles in His home town (or just a few) because of peoples lack of faith.

If you had correct biblical knowledge you would know that from the beginning of His ministry to the events found in Matt. 12, Jesus healed all without exception, both publicly and privately. but after the events of Matt. 12, Hew only healed on the basis of faith.

 

[Ronald Nolette]

To be more specific John 17:12 "While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled."

While Jesus was here his followers had divine protection.

I forgot that verse. YOu are correct.

But if we judge every movie about the life of Jesus- we will find some place where scripture was followed to a tee. I consider this a minor faux pas in the overall film. I do not take it as doctrine but making the bible become more real by depicting life as it was and Jesus in His human side. Jesus was not like the way they portrayed HIm in Jesus of Nazareth (like some mystic).

As teh bible doesn't explicitly say, I am willing to bet some of the thousands of people who accepted Jesus as Messiah were killed. Roma and the Pharisees and Sanhedrin and Herodians were nolt known for their compassion.

Calvinism is not my Gospel... Its this : Galatians 1:8

And if you had correct biblical knowledge you would know Jesus did not do miracles in His home town (or just a few) because of peoples lack of faith.

Nice.

that's exactly what i posted, and you can't comprehend it.

And what D.Jenkins said is that Jesus = refused to heal........and that is not True.

Jesus never refused to heal anyone, during His entire Ministry.

Check it out in a NT sometime, ... @Ronald Nolette=

Jesus healed all without exception, both publicly and privately. but after the events of Matt. 12, Hew only healed on the basis of faith.

Same event in Mark 5 and Luke 7.

If you own a Bible, check it out.

Good cuz Calvinism is not the gospel I preach either. what the 5 points refer to are five doctrines Christians are to follow and is not the gospel. You should know that.

Nice.

Well I didn't listen to Jenkins in his commentary. I just know Jesus refused to heal many because of their lack of faith. I though Thomas' fiancee's death was an irrelevancy except it Got the old Pater removed.

Same event in Mark 5 and Luke 7.

If you own a Bible, check it out.

No all three are totally different events. Different locations for healing, (one was even in Syria (the pigs are a clue, no pigs in Israel)

I am referring to Mt. 12: 22-45 This was THE defining moment of Jesus ministry while alove.

 

[Behold]

Really?

Then why do you never stop talking about it? Why is your ONE THREAD on CALVINISM<> TULIP?

Who do you think you are kidding @Ronald Nolette

A.) Yourself ??????????

Think on that.

Well I didn't listen to Jenkins in his commentary.

Just read what i wrote, as i did listen to Him, and his WIFE.

The Episode has Jesus refusing to heal someone who is dying.

Why?

Because JENKINS is teaching that "God didnt predestine her to be healed at this time".

See that?

That is "CRAZY Calvinism".... and its Theological INSANITY., and its a demonic LIE.

This was THE defining moment of Jesus ministry while alove.

Nonsense.
Total

The "defining moment of Jesus's Ministry' was The Cross of Christ..... Mr TULIP.

Understand?

Even a TULIP should know that, but you don't.

For some reason, im not surprised that you dont... @Ronald Nolette

The TV series The Chosen is not biblically accurate. Its stories are dramatized based on the Bible. I would not use it to support any theological arguments.

Wiki:


They confessed their artistic license in the opening credits of the first episode:


Is it worth watching?

I watched it. It is good in terms of characters and acting. Some of the scenes moved me. It is a decent artistic production.

If you prefer something more accurate, I recommend The Gospel of John.

Personally I believe it should not be watched. Research of the brain has shown that video memory is stored in the very same way and place as actual visual memory, and affects how you process what you perceive in life. It affects how you see things. And when you read about Peter in the Bible, you'll have in your mind the fictions presented in The Chosen.

I've watched the first short that started it all, and parts of two episodes. I've read the storyline of several episodes, and I'm firmly against this show. No one should see it.

It's not unlike his father's series, Left Behind, as a man who has the mark suddenly doesn't, for instance. These things stick in the mind.

Much love!

 

[marks]

So why are we so stiff necked and tight fisted when it comes to telling the stories of the greatest Man ever to walk the Earth?

Because we are making them up.

Do you want to tell about the real men? Or do you want to tell whatever comes to your mind as though you were telling about the real men?

If you want to just write fiction, name them something besides Jesus, as if it were the Jesus of the Bible, and ditto for his disciples.

Much love!

 

[marks]

They teach that sometimes Jesus chooses not to Heal., and you first saw this early on in the Series.........with Little James.

I've not seen much, nor read much of their stories, but this one seems to me particularly bad considering in reality Jesus healed all who came to Him for healing.

This show presents a false Jesus, NOT the Jesus of the Bible.

Much love!

 

[marks]

The Gospel According to Matthew (1993) is word-for-word from Matthew. It hasn't aged very well in my opinion, but it's still a decent movie. I'd take it over The Chosen any day.

I think this is the best one, my wife agrees.

Much love!

I've watched The Gospel of Matthew numerous times. All dialog and narration is from the Gospel of Matthew, nothing changed. And the acting is great, especially the joyful and relational Jesus. Bruce Marchiano, he does a great job in "The Encounter".

This one is purely a flight into fantasy.

Much love!

Ive never watched an episode.

and.....Even the name of the Show, is really a false facade for Dallas Jenkins Calvinism ambitions.

Most who love the "CHOSEN", believe that this title is talking about the Apostles, whom God chose... for Jesus.

ok..
However, Dallas Jenkins is subverting this because His real ambition is to use the Jesus Story to teach : Calvinism

Hense.. the Title "The Chosen" = teaching that the ELECT are "Chosen" and the rest are NOT Chosen, = which is classic "doctrine of devils" "Predestined" = Calvinism.

No....not even close. Because the writers do not understand God or Jesus.

I wish they did because for a change the Apostles are not just cardboard cutouts....they are people for a change. Of course they completely mischaracterize all of these guys.

We can pull the history of Jesus apart as clinically and sterile as one might pull the anatomy of a hand apart to discover its parts but totally miss the loving caress it is capable of.
The Story of Jesus is one of Salvation with a capital S. It is about God's emotional and compassionate ties with his human creation. Have we missed the profound point of The Creator identifying with his erring creatures....identifying as human for eternity; let me say that again, 'for Eternity' .
The Good News is not about theology that requires every I dotted and every T crossed so to speak.....although we can make it that and flatter ourselves as to how learned we are....even accurate re the record.....but what a toss. The religious folk in Jesus day had it so accurate they tithed mint and cumin. That should tells us something .

Oh wow, I watched The Encounter but it's been awhile and I forgot about it. Interesting movie.

Think on that.

Calvin lives in your head rent free.

You do not even understand teh difference betwwen the gospel and other doctrines it appears.

That is "CRAZY Calvinism".... and its Theological INSANITY., and its a demonic LIE.

Instead of hijacking another thread with your anti-Calvin vitriol, why don't you move this to the TULIP thread where it belongs?

You really7 should charge the Calvinist denomination rent for the amount of space and time Calvin controls your head!
