How many watch "The Chosen"?

[shepherdsword]

I watch the show and even like it. However, I do struggle with the great liberty it takes in extra-biblical scenes.
Examples
1) Peter thinking John the baptist was "creepy"
2)Matthew being such a semi autistic person with ADHD
3)Mary Madeline backsliding
4) Nicodemus refusing the Lord's invitation
5) Thomas being engaged

To name just a few. Anyone else watch the show? If so do you struggle with the fact that some will take it as absolute truth because they have never or will in the future read the bible?

What say you?

No I don't watch it. I think you can stream it i here in the UK but as far as I know it isn't on TV here.

I understand your struggle with this movie/series. It wasn't long at all before I stopped watching, cannot remember what it was but, it was so not biblical and yes, it does bother me that many will take it as gospel truth. Hollywood IMHO, is never going to give the whole truth as Satan is the god of this world and runs everything, guiding the lost to skew all things God.
It's probably fine to watch if one is really grounded in sound teaching but again, the fact that most who watch are not familiar with scripture is disturbing.

The moment when one realizes why they do as they do
is the moment that one would warn all DO NOT watch that show .
Its socially engineered . The longer it goes on the worse it gets too .
They implanting ideals into the heads of the viewers .
By the grace of GOD i see the deadly dangers in it . I know most might not quite see it as deadly and as dangerous .
BUT being i know , this sheep gotta warn .
We are being socially engineered little by little and the idea is to tone down
Eventually to even remove something entirely . I see the lump of doo for what it is .
And i am not calling all that might be watching it satan , BUT i would advise IMMEDIATELY
for all to cease and dissist from its viewing .
NOW why DO YOU THINK you QUIT watching it sister . DUNG dont feed sheep sister .
And seeing we do not eat dung , well we sure dont want others viewing it either .
I KNOW the agenda IS BEHIND ALL OF THIS . And it will continue to get worse .

That is in league with and works with darkness my friend .
The image of JESUS is and has been changed .
Too many are turning JESUS into the judge not correct not , THAT HE SURE WAS NOT .
Buddists , athiests and all sorts are working on this project in harmony and in agreement .
BUT THE CHURCH THINKS somehow IT WILL GIVE THE BEST EXAMPLE
of JESUS to society . Friend darkness and light cannot co exist and work together along side one the other .
THIS MOVIE IS DUNG dude . and as always it will bring some truths .
NO IMAGE OF JESUS that is NOT JESUS is any image THIS SHEEP gonna desire to see portrayed or sit under .
I ONLY WISH the peoples had understood that . THIS is bad news
but cloaked in guise as though its truth . ITS THE NEW way to evangelize buddy . AND ITS A BAD ONE TOO .

What GOD did for you , what GOD did for me
let us by HIS grace share with others . Sheep cannot sit under that which is of darkness .
And light and darkness do not work in league one with another .
SO what makes anyone think
that somehow this movie , WHICH I KNOW has buddists , atheists and etc all working together
WIth it and on it is somehow gonna give society THE BEST VIEW OF JESUS and OF THE TRUTH .
IT AINT SISTER . The most it can produce is another jesus , another ............
Darkness and light cannot work as one , nor can it produce the best image of JESUS either .
THE BIBLE sure can . but many sure dont seem to love the truth in those pages . maybe bits and pieces of it
and had rather sit under movies and men who recreate another image of GOD , OF CHRIST
YOU FLED from it , cause IT COULD NOT FILL YOU SISTER . THUS it must be also warned against .
Sheep need to be bible learning as i KNOW you know that sister .

Its not Christian independent since they use a mormon, a catholic, and Rabbi.

Well dont that sum it up . I can tell ya had paul , john , peter , james and jude
made a movie , IT DARN SURE would not look like one created by this mess .
BUT as i wrote above and said afore , DARKNESS AND LIGHT CANNOT CO EXIST
and it darn SURE CANNOT produce the best image of JESUS , OF GOD , OF TRUTH . its gonna Portray
something else and do so by using partial truths and yet its gonna promote a lie .
AND I KNOW WHO DOES THAT . satan does . The movie is dung
no matter if it has some truths in it , IT has lies and the blend within it . SO may i suggest
to all who desire to know JESUS , PERHAPS IT REALLY IS TIME to pick back up a real dusty book again
that has been sitting on shelves , THE BIBLE and actually START reading , loving and learning the TRUTH again for our own selves .
JUST A FRIENDLY , but friend its a real DIRE NEEDFUL REMINDER .

I'm not going to pay for a streaming subscription, but I'm okay with "fleshing out" the background story. I remember a movie about Jesus called The Greatest Story Ever Told, and while the producers tried to meticulously stick with the biblical narrative (up to and including having Jesus speak in King James English), the end product was one of the most wooden portrayals of Jesus I've ever seen. Anybody who saw that would be driven away from Jesus and never want to open a Bible themselves.

Funny, I saw that as a young kid. While I didn't understand why Jesus died, I was moved and felt great affection for Him. I never forgot the movie. It wasn't until many years later when I learned that He died for me.

I saw Mathew as OCD too- afraid of germs. Thomas' fiance - when she was stabbed- they had Jesus saying he was sorry he could not help her. I don't ever recall Jesus turning someone away who needed help. Do you? Why do that? i guess it was the only way to kill her off the show. Why put her there in the first place if you have to make Jesus look that way?

I no longer watch. Hearing about the wet dream in season 5 locked up my earlier doubts. No need for that. Totally disrespectful. There are a million other ways to make that point. That's not walking in the spirit. That's of the flesh. Why do we think we have to stoop to pop culture's level to reach someone's heart? We don't.

Yes, I think it leaves wrong impressions on people who are unbelievers. While I understand the need to ad-lib, they went too far IMO.
It may be helpful to some unbelievers and perhaps encourage them to read the bible.
I just have no interest in watching anymore.

Many details are absent from the Bible. These back stories in The Chosen, sort of develop the disciples characters, showing us they are common everyday people. Arguments and friction amongst the disciples would be expected when Jesus wasn't around. Even when He was, He rebuked them. Could one of them been in debt? Yes
Could a tax collector receive as much hatred in return by just about everyone? Yes. Romans squeezed every dollar out of them. We imagine them all as wonderful saints with the exception of Judas - but they were sinners like the rest of us.
We know the Pharisees were out to get Jesus and the folks in His home town, but many other instances were likely and are absent. The Insertion of a mob against him prior to his feeding thousands is expected. He delt with them with a miracle and shut them up and changed their attitudes.
I liked S3Episode 8: feeding 5,000, Wali g on water and calming the storm.
There are some 32,000 words spoken by Jesus in the four gospels. Pastors typically deliver about 12,000 words in only one hour, which means if Jesus only taught them one hour a day, that would only cover three days of material. But they were with him for 1277 days give or take times when the disciples were off doing other things, much is missing. I can imagine myself asking Him questions about everything under the sun in that amount of time that His answers would fill a thousand Bibles! Certainly we received the fundamental truths, the important things, but we can imagine much more happened and many more things were said. I like that We see Jesus preparing sovereignty the events, positioning specific disciples and sending them out for certain tasks all for His purpose. I like that it all happens exactly how it was supposed to. His entire mission wasn't left up to chance, every detail was orchestrated.
The Bible indicates some of the disciples were married and so they didn't just leave their wives for the entire 3 1/2 years. I must admit some of the relational things going on, the back stories fabricated, however creative they might have been, at times too lengthy and bored me. I thought some of the episodes could have been edited down. I preferred the episodes where Jesus was present. But the acting is good.
All in all, it makes the story more realistic and will certainly lead people to Christ.

Dallas Jenkins is a Hyper Calvinist, as is His Wife.

He is the Director, Co-Writer, and Producer of the show.

So, beginning in Season 3, we find His Hyper-Calvinism up and running when "Jesus" wont heal "Little James".

Now if you read a bible, you'll discover that Jesus NEVER refused to Heal.......Jew or Gentile..

IN Season 4, .. Dallas Jenkins really get His Hyper Calvinism up and running, when He shows Ramah bleeding to death and Jesus just stands there watching her suffer, bleed.......... and lets her die.

See that..?

That is NOT the Jesus who Died on The Cross..........that is a "monster" Jesus, and a "monster" God, who are created by Hyper-Calvinism.

That is Crazy Calvinism...... doing that as....>>"well, we are showing that evertything is "pre-destined" , and in that case, Jesus will refuse to heal you. (Rhema)... (Little James).
