I've come across various people who have ended up with mistaken ideas after watching The Chosen.
One person I know thought that Peter had ongoing tax issues with Rome. Scripture makes mention of Peter paying taxes, and no mention of him not.
Another person I know that that Nicodemas tried and failed to cast 7 demons out of Mary Magdeline. No, nothing in the Bible about that.
Another thought that the Samaritan leper regrew his missing fingers, while the other 9 did not. Scripture says all were cleansed, and adds nothing more than that.
One of the episodes I happened to see a small portion of portrayed the wedding in Cana as Jesus turns the water into wine, after His mother talks Him into it, after the show Thomas to be doubtful. There is all this back and forth, Leave the room, and Jesus dips His hand into the water become wine, letting it spill through His fingers.
John 2:5-9 KJV
5) His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6) And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7) Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8) And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9) When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
These stories sit in people's minds, affecting what they think the Bible says.
A little leaven leavens the whole lump. And The Chosen demonstrates this truth.
I've not watched much of this show at all, only to get a sense of what it is. It's fiction couched in Biblical frames, and poisons the mind. Do you think God is pleased when people tell lies about His Son, and the things He did?
Are there other scenes in this series that are unbiblical? What are they?
Much love!
